AcquireConnection Error Importing DBaseIV Files Using SQL Agent
Jul 14, 2006
I've got an SSIS package that I've been testing all week and it runs fine in Visual Studio. The package uses an OLE DB connection manager to access the dBase files using the Jet Provider. The dBase files are stored on a remote file share. There are a series of identical files held in different dated folders. I use a ForEach loop to move through the folder list and import the data as I go. When I deploy it to the server and try to run it, I get the following:
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Aloha" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
Aloha is the ConncetionManager to the dBase files. I've searched everywhere I can for ideas on how to solve this. I've made the SQL Agent Service is running under the same account I used to author the package. I've made sure that the package is using Server Storage. Everything looks like it should be working.
Can anyone give me any other items I can look into?
Thanks!

Has anyone had any trouble moving a package using a OLE DB Connection Manager reading DBASE IV files? While developing I never had a problem, the confiugration string described int his thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=76237&SiteID=1) worked just fine. Since I have enabled Configurations, my package will always fail when trying to read the dbf file. I've gone through just about every setting in the config file that I can think of.

I've been using replication for a long while now but have never come across this error. It's a basic transactional replication from ServerA to ServerB, where ServerA is also the distributor. Everything had been running fine on it until yesterday, when this error started popping up and no further transactions could be delivered.
After some quick googling I was able to determine that the distribution agent account needed write access to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100Com. According to the MSFT article it's because the distribution agent is running under a non-default profile. I didn't change this. However, what I did change around the time that these errors started occurring was the server's Replication Max Test Size setting. It would be far too coincidental for this to not be the cause, but what I don't understand is *why* that would have changed it.
how do I change this? It is definitely not preferable to create temp files in this directory in our environment.

I have written an SSIS Package that connects to an Oracle database through SQL Authentication. Whenever I execute the package in BIDS it executes without a problem but when I try to schedule the package as a Job I recieve an AcquireConnection Error. Any help?
I have tried the solutions outlined in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918760 and have read through the KB but have found few solutions that pertain to connecting to remote Oracle databases through SQL Authentication. Any help would be much appreicated.

Hi,
Trying to get a particular SSIS is package working - while running the Package Installation wizard a package is reported with the following errors:
AcquireConnection method fails with error code 0xC0202009
Then Lookup fails validation and returns code 0xC020801C
The odd thing is the Lookup does not exist in the package, it did exist at one point but was deleted.
I have tried searching the XML and can't find any reference to the Lookup
Any suggestions appreciated...
Thanks,
John

I'm creating a small test package that copies a value from an Excel 2007 worksheet into a SQL 2005 database (SP2). When I do an Execute Task, I get the following error:
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager \loripMandEScorecardsSQLQueryExample.xlsx failed with error code 0xC0202009.
However, if I do a "Preview" in the Editor for this same Excel Source task that fails, the data comes up as I would expect. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!

I have a SQL Server Agent job with a step to execute an SSIS package. The package has as one of it's connection managers the Connection Manager For Excel Files. When I run the job it fails every time. I have implemented logging and in the OnError event it states "The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "LOBMappingExcel" failed with error code 0xC0202009".

The package runs fine if I run it by itself. Unfortunately we want to call it from another package and when we do so it fails everytime with the following error; "AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "BPCSF" failed with error code 0xC0202009." This package is calling an AS400 and pulling data from it into a staging environment. The task that is failing is 4th task on the list and is the 3rd task to call the AS400 environment. If I need to provide more information I would be happy to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I can run this package in Studio and it works fine, but when I run it from SQL Server Agent, it throws this error. Does anybody know what would cause this problem. This appears to occur during validation for the package because none of the data flow steps run. The connection being used is the same connection used in all of the data flows. If validation is done in order, then prior steps using the same connection are passing validation.
Thanks,
Steve

I am trying to import a CSV file into an SQL Server table with the OleDbDataReader and SqlBulkCopy objects, like this: using (OleDbConnection dconn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\mystuff\;Extended Properties="text;HDR=No;FMT=Delimited""))
{
using (OleDbCommand dcmd = new OleDbCommand("select * from mytable.csv", dconn))
{
try
{
dconn.Open();
using (OleDbDataReader dreader = dcmd.ExecuteReader())
{
try
{
using (SqlConnection dconn2 = new SqlConnection(@"data source=MyDBServer;initial catalog=MyDB;user id=mydbid;password=mydbpwd"))
{
using (SqlBulkCopy bc = new SqlBulkCopy(dconn2))
{
try
{
dconn2.Open();
bc.DestinationTableName = "dbo.mytable";
bc.WriteToServer(dreader);
}
finally
{
dconn2.Close();
}
}
}
}
finally
{
dreader.Close();
}
}
}
finally
{
dconn.Close();
}
}
}
A couple of the columns for the destination table use a bit datatype. The CSV files uses the strings "1" and "0" to represent these.When I run this code, it throws this exception:Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type bit of the specified target column. ---> System.FormatException: Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Boolean. ---> System.FormatException: String was not recognized asa valid Boolean. at System.Boolean.Parse(String value) at System.String.System.IConvertible.ToBoolean(IFormatProvider provider) at System.Convert.ChangeType(Object value, Type conversionType, IFormatProvider provider) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter.CoerceValue(Object value, MetaType destinationType) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter.CoerceValue(Object value, MetaType destinationType) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy.ConvertValue(Object value, _SqlMetaDatametadata) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy.ConvertValue(Object value, _SqlMetaDatametadata) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy.WriteToServerInternal() at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy.WriteRowSourceToServer(Int32 columnCount) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy.WriteToServer(IDataReader reader) at MyClass.Main()It appears not to accept "1" and "0" as valid strings to convert to booleans. The System.Convert.ToBoolean method appears to work the same way. Is there any way to change this behavior? I discovered if you change the "1" to "true" and "0" to "false" in the CSV file it will accept them.

Hi,
I got one more problem with importing csv files using .net. The problem is that the csv file contains double-quotation marks (""). For example, the record looks like:
...,Bearing Double "D" Flange,...
And the result is: ... | Bearing Double | null (all following columns are null)
The code is as following:
string strCsvConn = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=;Extended Properties='text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited(,)';";
using (OleDbConnection cn = new OleDbConnection(strCsvConn))
{
string strSQL = "SELECT * FROM " + strFileName;
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(strSQL, cn);
cn.Open();
using (OleDbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{while (dr.Read())
{
string str = Convert.ToString(dr[8]);
}
// Bulk Copy to SQL Server
//using (SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(strSqlConn))
//{
// bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = strSqlTable;
// bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dr);
//}
}
}
Any idea is highly appreciated.

Hi,
I want to import multiple text files into a single table. I know I have to use BCP or DTS. But, I want import all files at once, instead of one at a time. And the file names are in sequence, viz. file1, file2, file3 etc.
Can anybody tell me, How I can achieve this.
Thanks

I have to import 18000 text files into a sql database.
Each file contains 10 fields and around 5000 records.
I am currently doing this with DTS.
What I am wondering is this: Is DTS the most efficient i.e. quickest way to import all this data. Bearing in mind there is about 90 million records to import in all.
I would appreciate the benefit of somebody elses experience when dealing with this type of thing.
Cheers,
Brookesy

Hello,
I've been trying to import a TXT file into an SQL database and I'm having trouble making it work correctly. It is a ASCII text file with over 100,000 records. The fields vary by the number of characters. This can be 2 characters up to 40 (STATE would be 2 characters, CITY is 32 characters, etc.)
I can import the file with DTS. I go in and select exactly where I want the field breaks to be. Then it imports everything as Characters with column headers of Col001, Col002, Col003, etc. My problem is that I don't want everything as Characters or Col001 etc. I want different column names and columns of data to be INT, NUMERIC(x,x), etc. instead of characters every time. If I change these values to anything than the default in DTS it won't import the data correctly.
Also, I have an SQL script that I wrote for a table where I can create the field lengths, data type etc. the way I want it to look, FWIW. This seems to be going nowhere fast.
What am I doing wrong? Should I be using something else than DTS?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
JB

Hello Everyone.
I am a bit new to SQL Server but not to DBA or programming per se. I am having difficulties getting either an Excel or Text flat file to import properly.
I guess it would be best to ask, using either SSIS or BULK INSERT, what options need to be entered for a typical excel flat file?

I have a package with a corresponding configuration file.
If I open Sql server management studio and i connect to SSIS and right click to import a package, and then select to store the package in SQL Server (not on the file system)....
What happens with the configuration file?
Does the import take the values from the configuration file and place them in the package which then is stored in SQL Server?
Or do I need to put the configuration file someplace on the SQL Server where the package is imported so it can access it when it runs?
I'm a bit confused about what goes on there?
For example, I tried using the build command and then running the manifest file to import using the wizard and when it does that it copies the configuration files to a default location within the c:program filesmicrosoft sql server directory.
Thx.

I need to write a genric CSV importer. one set of CSVs define the formats of all teh other CSVs. The format of the second set of CSVs is not know at the time of creating this project/SSIS package.
Imagine having two sets of CSV files.
Each file in the first set of CSVs define the format of files in the second set of CSVs
The first set always have the same format. Each row of the CSV file defines a field with a Name and Type.
The first two columns of each row of in the first set of CSVs have a FormatName and index.
So a simple file may have:
Format1,1,Name,string
Format1,2,Surname,string
Format1,3,DOB,Date
Format1,4,Email,string
The second set of CSVs contains records that have to comply with the format define in the first set.
So in this aprticular case, a CSV file in the second set may have records such as:
Format1,John,Doe,2007-01-01,john@doe.com
Format1,Jane,Doe,2007-02-02,jane@doe.com
The problem I have is creating a generic SSIS package for this.
The first task, loading the first set of CSV file is fairly simple. The CSV format is known.
But the second task is a bit trickier.
Assuming I have SQL tables to load the data.
One 'Fields' record for each row in the CSVs from the fiirst set.
One 'Rows' record for each row in the CSVs from the second set,
One 'Values' record for each value in each row in the CSVs from the second set,
Something like:
TABLE Fields (
FieldID int IDENTITY,
FormatName varchar(100),
Position int,
ColumnName varchar(100),
ColumnType varchar(20) )
TABLE Rows (
RowID int IDENTITY )
TABLE Values (
ValueID IDENTITY,
RowID int,
FieldID int,
ColumnValue varchar(100) )
What would be the best/easiest SSIS approach:
- Dynamically create a SSIS package based on the content of each CSV fiel of the first set and execute that package for each file in the second set, selecting the correct package to execute (all records within a CSV file belong to the same format).
- Write a single SSIS package that iterates through the rows of the second CSVs, does a lookup for each value of each row to find the field name and make an insert into the DB
- Other SSIS method?
- Don't use SSIS to parse the CSV and call a custom C# task?
- Don't use SSIS at all ?
Thanks

I have a folder on an SFTP server in our internal network which gets flat files periodically (almost every minute) from another server. The file structure is like this:
Flat File Format•Line 1—List of field names comma separated •Line 2—List of field type comma separated •Line 3—Data comma separated •Line 4—Data comma separated and so on...
All the files will be like this without the .csv extention. There are a lot of fields and creating a column for each field manually will be a pain. Heres what I am trying to do:
1. Create a process that runs periodically on the server and imports data from files into the SQL server table.
2. Use the information in line 1 and 2 to create the schema of the table and then ignore those lines in every import (the data should be appended to the existing data).
What are my options?
Thank you all,Bullpit

Hi,
Can anyone help? Need to upload a text file to a sql database but keep getting errors.
I'm creating a page that will allow users to to bulk import and update to a MsSql database. The users provide a text file every so often with new/update information. So i want to use a DTS package to transform the infomation, and create a table in the database, then check against existing/non existing records, if the record exist, update it, if not insert it. I'm using Visual Studio.Net, ASP.Net and coding in VB.Net.
Anyone know where i can find documentation/code regarding the above?
I will be greatful for any help.

I have a load (180,000+) of text files whose contents need to go into a SQL server database.Whats the best way of doing this? Using a c# console program and if so, using FileStream or StreamReader? Or using a feature of SQL server itself. The text files themselves are less that 1k and are literally less than 200 characters.The problem is, I've tried a WinForm and although I can detect what files are there, as soon as I attempt to open one for reading, everything stops working and won't insert anything to the database.

I am new to SQL7 and I am trying to run a package that will import fixed text files in a folder and transform the data to a table. I am using a good example found in sywink.com for dynamically importing files in a directory, but I am getting an error message when there is more than one file in the folder. Also, I am able to display all the files during the loop process, but the file initially set for the source connection is the only one that transfers data. I have the close(Transform) connection checkbox option checked, and have tried other methods of closing the connection before the new source name is called, none have helped. Does anyone have any solutions to this type of problem? Or know of other methods used for my situation?
Thanks
James
