We noticed SQL Server 2005 is creating Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedDW on our largest drive for each 64-bit installation. Does anyone know what this is? It appears there is no Microsoft documentation regarding this installation and if we need to keep it. It may be .NET related, but I have no idea why it is needed.

Where do I go in my computer to correct this problem so that I can complete the installation?
View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know if it is possible (and if yes, how) to create a trigger that creates a folder for every inserted record?
In a specific root folder, I want a subfolder for every record in the table. How does the trigger have to look like to make the folder automatically with every insert of a new record???

View 1 Replies View Relatedthe idea is to put together a folder that is in some place in the computer, like "c:excel_fles" and the database full backup in a single .bak file, the database can be recovered with sql server management studio(but no the folder), the restoration of the program can be done with a program, I think it can be done with msdb, but I'm a little lost in the road.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a solution with a couple of ssis projects in it. Everytime I open the solution, Visual Studio creates an extra .database file for the project's existing xxx.database file. The solution is under VSS control and VS2005 checks out the project and shows the file as a newly added file.
What causes this and how can I prevent this from occurring?
The files contain this:

There are 2 of us working on the solution and the other fellow does not see this behavior.
The files do not show up in the VS2005 solution explorer. If they are user specific as I suspect (impersonation info?), then they should not be added to the .dtproj project file.
Thanks!
I have created a trigger to call a program that is written by our program. The program is basically read the record in the table and write to a text file, then delete the record from the table.
The trigger is a after insert trigger. After we added the trigger, we insert a record to the table. The result is that the record still and did not get deleted. Also, the text file didn't get created either. It seems that it take a long time for the record to be written to the table.
But if we just run the program (a exe file), it can write a text file in the folder and delete the record. the trigger is basically:
USE [Zinter]
GO
/****** Object: Trigger [dbo].[ZinterProcess] Script Date: 04/29/2014 18:34:56 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
[Code] ....
In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this:
1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found;
2. If file(s) found, then compare it/them with existing files in our archive folder; if file(s) already exist in archive folder, stop executing and send email saying file(s) already existed, if file(s) not in archive folder yet, then transfer it/them to the local directory for processing.
I know i have to use a script task to do this and i did some research and found examples for each of the above 2 steps and not both combined, so that's why I need some help here to get the logic incorporated right.
Thanks for the help in advance and i apologize for the long lines of code!

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe have a 64bit installation of SQL Server (SSIS, SSAS) running and working fine. There is a requirement to install 64bit SSRS on this existing setup.
The problem is: While running the SQL Server Setup wizard, the Reporting Services checkbox remains greyed out. In other words, there isnt an option to select SSRS for installation.
So the question is: Is it even possible to install 64bit SSRS on an existing 64bit SQL server installation - given that SSRS wasnt installed during the first pass.
PS: The SQL Server is SP2 on a Windows Server 2003 configured as an App Server.

Hello
I'm just starting with SQL and BIDS. I have created a xml-Import to SQL Server which works without any problem.
Now I like to import (daily) all xml-files of an appropriate Folder at once to the DB. The files will have different names each day.
I could not find any help in the internet to solve this problem.
Can someone give me an Idea how to import many xml-files out of the same folder to SQL?
Thanks & regards

I just installed the 64bit Vista and than wanted to install the 64bit SQL 2005 Std. Server on it.
Note: I downloaded my license from https://licensing.microsoft.com/eLicense/L1033/ProductDetail.Asp?SKU=228-05338.
Installing from SQLSTDSEL.ISO file results in the warning that for the REPORT- Server the .NET version has to be 32bit.
Stopping the installation at this point and try to install from SW CD SQL Svr Standard Edtn 2005 64Bit X64 English #1 x64 MLF.x11-57664 + SW CD SQL Svr Standard Edtn 2005 64Bit X64 English #2 x64 MLF.x11-57665 does not give the above error but on the other hand installs no server at all since somehow the installation routine is not working at all.
Installing now - after at least analysis server and reports server are 64bit and installed - from the first mentioned ISO results in the installation of the DB- Server.... but as a 32bit installation.
Now I wonder what did not work out - so maybe someone here has an idea if and how this problem is solveable.
Convert 100 xml files individually to pdf's and zip them in a folder along with the source files.
Can it be possible in SQL server BI world?

Hello everyone - wonder if you can help.
How do you process all files in an FTP directory - similar to the for each loop for files.
I need to be able to download each file and then move it to an archive folder on the ftp site.
Might also want to do some things in between.
I have a feeling it means getting the directory listing into a recordset or variable then enumerating that.
Sounds like a common requirement and would be quite easy by other means. Can't help feeling that SSIS has built in tasks to do it.
can sql server 2005 access files on a shred folder (which sql 2000 was not able)?

I found there is some files are created under "Temp" folder by the system with size "0B".
Why/when these file are created? Do I need to clean it periodicly? If not, will this cause exception like "Not enough storage is available to complete this operation"?

Hello;
I started to get out of space on the server C: drive.
I checked and I was using file system storage on the C drive in:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.xReporting ServicessRSTempFiles
I checked the folder and it is 1 GB.
My questions or doubts;
1) I read that the path can be changed without any problem, in the same server we have a D drive with 40GB of space, so I am planning to change the path to: D:RSTempFiles. Any experience on changing that path?
2) If the change of path is successfull, how I can delete the files on the RSTempFiles on the C: drive. Can I directly delete the files? Ther just previous snapshots or I will lose something? Any experience with this will be great.
Thanks everybody and nice weekend.

I have installed SSAS on a 64 bit machine and am trying to connect to Oracle but having little success.
Some of the solutions I've read indicate to uninstall SSAS and then reinstall, making sure that the reinstall does not use the Program Files (x86) folder since Oracle has a problem with the parentheses.
Here's my question... How do you NOT install in the Program Files (x86) folder. It seems SQL Server always wants to put a small part in there.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a dumb question.

Hi All,
I have a challenge i am trying to overcome, hopefully soneone would have come across this issue before..
I am creating a DTS package that will be scheduled to run at a certain time everyday. A source folder exists that get a set of new files everyday.The DTS Package will then read each file and copy the data into a load table in my database the challenge is this:
I am trying to load files from a source folder into my load table, Within each file, the entires are in a specific format using pipes to seperate the data that goes into which column e.g
example of a file entry:
column1 | column2 | column3
data1 | data2 | data3
data1 | data2 | data3
data1 | data2 | data3
And now i am using DTS to specify the file format and map the cloumns as apprporiate to my table...all this is well and good, but my problem is each file has a different name as well as being timestamped, now how do i use DTS to specify the source folder, open each file sequentially and read (or more appropriate, copy the entries into my table, inserting new data from each file into my load table as well as overwriting old data in the load table from the files in the folder ?) is there a way in specifying your source folder in DTS rather than specifying the file in the Menu options (in the transformation data task properties )given, and or do i need to write a script for this(reading the file?)
can someone please give me a solution and how to approach this?
thanks in advance

I am looking for a way to truncate raw files without losing the metadata. The metadata of the raw file should be automatically detected at run-time. The result will be a raw file with the same metadata as the original file, but no data in it.
There are two reasons I would like such a tool. First, I want to erase the potentially sensitive data stored in the raw files. Second, I want to keep Validation enabled so that development is simpler.
Is anyone aware of such a tool?
