KB2938192 - FIX: The execution of SSIS package takes a long time when you cannot enable garbage collector server mode in SSIS 2012 or SSIS 2014

Applies To
SQL Server 2012 Developer SQL Server 2012 Enterprise SQL Server 2012 Standard SQL Server 2014 Developer - duplicate (do not use) SQL Server 2014 Enterprise - duplicate (do not use) SQL Server 2014 Standard - duplicate (do not use)

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You are using Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2014 on a multi-core host.
  • You keep the <gcServer enabled="true" /> default settings in the Dtexec.exe.config configuration file.
  • You run the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package that contains managed or custom tasks.

In this scenario, garbage collection is run in the default workstation mode, and the process takes a long time.

Cause

The issue occurs because the configuration is ignored if CLR is implicitly activated in the Dtexec.exe process. The garbage collector mode is the default workstation mode.

The issue was first fixed in the following cumulative update of SQL Server.
