Acquiring Connection Manager Programmatically In SSIS
Jul 9, 2006
hi all,
I m new to this forum and hope i ll get warm welcome from all of you.... thank you
I m Praveen kumar Dayanithi... a master student doin my assistantship in a Company. Kindly help me with this...
Here is my issue.... i would like to know how can i pass arguments to connection manager programmatically. In other words how can i acquire connection manger through SCRIPT task(Vb script). I know it is very easy to manually select n specify database name, table name by right clicking in dataflow task but in my company if i do that it will be very cumbersome for production people to change all the database and table names manually when the project is moved to production. Rather if i programmatically acquire connection manager using global variables it will make production people's job very easy. They have to just change the value of the variables. So can any one help me with this issue.
Thanks n regards

Hi all!
My problem I've been struggling with is the following. I have a set of text files (around 70), each with different column numbers and types. I define Flat File Connection Managers for each of them where I can nicely rename, set data types and omit certain columns. I do this once and this will be the basis for the rest of the data process (would be nice programmatically too actually).
I would like to pump each of these text files into SQL Server tables using CREATE TABLE and BULK INSERT (because do it one-by-one is really a pain). The question is:
is there a way to obtain column information (Script Task) from a Connection Manager so I can run CREATE TABLE-s? I just need the names, data type for each nothing fancy...
(I bumped into interfaces like IDTSConnectionManagerFlatFileColumns90, which I cannot handle from the Script Task.)
Any help appreciated!

Hello,
I need to know how I can programmatically set a Flat File Connection Manager's Column Delimiter value.
The Data Warehouse project I am working on, receives daily information feeds that could contain one of two delimiters. Which is just dumb...anyways, as it is now we have two seperate Data Flow Tasks which handle these two delimiters. Currently we have a script taks that "sneak previews" each incoming flat file to determine which delimiter it has, and direct our flow to the correct Data Flow Task to handle it.
I do not want to have to maintain 2 DFTs. How can I get around this problem?
Even if there is a way to do this by passing variables/setting expressions in the Flat File Connection manager, I would do that. Does not necessarily HAVE to be a pure programmatic approach.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!
Feel free to email me at ccorbin@topcoder.com with any questions, or leave me some good news here :)
THANKS!

I am following the samples in the online books. I've got an OLEDB connection manager and source component defined. I now want to create an Excel connection manager and destination component (see below). How can I do this?
Dim conMgr As ConnectionManager = package.Connections.Add("OLEDB")
conMgr.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" "Data Source=FLL-EIS;Initial Catalog=DataLoad;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI;"
conMgr.Name = "SSIS Connection Manager for OLE DB"
conMgr.Description = "OLE DB connection to FLL-EIS."
' Create and configure an OLE DB source component.
Dim source As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New
source.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.OleDbSource"
' Create the design-time instance of the source.
Dim srcDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = source.Instantiate
srcDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()
' Assign the connection manager.
source.RuntimeConnectionCollection(0).ConnectionManager = _
DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(conMgr)
' Set the custom properties of the source.
srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("AccessMode", 2)
srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("SqlCommand", Dts.Variables("User::gsQuery").Value.ToString)
' Connect to the data source,
' and then update the metadata for the source.
srcDesignTime.AcquireConnections(Nothing)
srcDesignTime.ReinitializeMetaData()
srcDesignTime.ReleaseConnections()
' Create and configure an OLE DB destination. (This is where I need help, as this code does not work)
Dim destination As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New
destination.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.ExcelDestination"
' Create the design-time instance of the destination.
Dim destDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = destination.Instantiate
' Where can I find documentation about the various ComponentClassIds and Properties???
destDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()
destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("ExcelFilePath", Dts.Variables("User::gsExcelFile").Value.ToString)
destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("TableName", Dts.Variables("User::gsSheetName").Value.ToString)

Once you open the SSIS execute package utility and select a package from a SQL server location, even if you go to the connection managers item (on the left in execute package utility) and change a connection string, it doesn't make a difference.
I have this package that reads flat files into a database. So when I run the package, even if I change the connection string for a connection manager to read a particular flat file and run the package, it still uses the old connection string that was used when the package was initially saved. As always I hate Microsoft for releasing features without even checking if it works.

I have deployed my packages into Sql Server and I am using Configuration File. As my Data Source is Excel, I have changed the connection string during deployment with Server Path. But I am getting the following errors. Actually the File Exist in Path. May I know What is cause of the issue? Do I need to give any permission to execute the package.
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.

I am trying to run a package outside of the Business Intelligence development Studio. It continuously fails and tell me that my username cannot logon due to a password failure. When I check my connections the password never shows in the connection string and remains blank in the connection properties although I have checked Save Password in the connection properties. Does anyone know how I can save the password in the connection string being utilized in the SSIS package?

Hello,
I am attempting to set up a Connection Manager for a Flat File Source.
Data in my flat file is like this, for example:
"038188306","03/02/2007"
"038C88328","9A9990846","INFY-SW ","L","Z98ZVL97R","2006-06-02"
Row 1 has two columns, Row 2 has six columns (as delimited by the double quotes).
Format: Delimited
Text Qualifer: {""}
Header Row Delimiter: {CR}{LF}
But when I click on the Columns button, it only shows 2 columns. For example, it shows the first row correctly, but Row 2 shows as:
Column 1
"038C88328"
Column 2
"9A9990846","INFY-SW ","L","Z98ZVL97R","2006-06-02"
which is NOT what I want.
I really need help here.
THANKS

I am having a strange problem in that when ever I create a connection to an OLE db source and use SQL Server authorization and save the password, the connection manager seems to "forget" the password. That is, when I click the 'save password' check box, and do a test connection, it connects fine. But as soon as I close that connection window, and reopen it, the password box is empty, and the 'save password' box is still checked. Even if I do a test connection at this point, it wont connect because it does not have the password.
Is this some sort of bug? Is there a workaround?

I have a table which contains a column ([Connection String]) that has every connection string for the SQL instances on our estate.
I have a package which will import data from a single instance, but how do I set the connection manager so that it uses a variable and is populated by a selecting the connection strings from my central database?
Do I use a cursor to select the next connection string?

Hi,
I have been working with a client on a legacy application migration to SSIS and I found SSIS to be very helpful, as this is my first project using integration services I found myself in a situation where multiple solutions can work but I cannot assess the risk of using one or the other and the effort required for the implementation.
The situation is as following, we cannot touch the input files that come from the other legacy systems so I need to get information that is packaged following the next multipart schema:
&Header with context information from the source
&BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format N)
- Data in format N
&BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format K)
+Data in format K
&BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format P)
=Data in format P
Etc... Needless to say that they can come in whatever order and they need different processing depending on the format. I have been tempted to use the techniq shown in "Handling Different Row Types In The Same File" from http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?54.
However, there are multiple issues that I have to resolve to do that: First is how to feed the pipeline with the Data in format N and then reparse them in an easy way cause the data that comes from the other system is very wide (aprox 120 columns), so using a parsing script is by no means a viable solution (I have multiple formats to handle). So I do not see a way to treat the data without using a Custom Connection Manager. Here comes my first question: Is there anyway someone can use the already provided managers to handle an scenario like this one?
Next comes the separation, which one is the wisest thing to do: Write again that to disk in as easier format or pass along that information to the next task in memory? The volume of data is in the order of hundreds of megabytes (100 to 200), maybe half a Gigabyte in the extreme cases. How about uploading that to SQL Server and work from there?
BTW, the production servers will have 6 to 8 Gb of memory and 4 to 8 processors (more or less).
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone
I´m using the Flat File Connection Manager to access a flat file, tab delimited. The flat file has 200 columns, and when I'm editing the columns, I only preview columns from 0 to 97.
Does the flat file connection have a column number limit? How could I increase it?
Thank you for your answer.....

I use Sql server 2005 standard edition in a 64 bit machine.I tried to create a SSIS project with an Analysis Services Processing Task. In connection Manager, the test connection succeeds but when I try to add the analysis services connection manager it gives following error.-The new connection manager could not be created,Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0010014 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap). This is a production server and we cannot reproduce this in other servers , so troubleshooting is difficult. This error appears when connecting to other sources like MS excel in Export task of Enteerprise Manager as well. Cubes can be processed manually without any problem.Pls give me a solution.

While using the connection manager name in the SSIS component (say script task) the connection is failing . As a workaround, the whole connection string has been put in a variable and used that variable in the SCRIPT task.
Is it a bug or some other property need to be set to use ConnectionManager Name .

How to use variables in Connection Manager's properties? I see some replies through Configuration Package. But what if, it is still in development stage? I mean, can I use the Variable tab and create some variables like
User::DBUserNameSource, User::DBPasswordSource,
User::DBuserNameDestination, User::DBPasswordDestination,
Then put them in Password and UserName property of Connection Manager? If this is possible, how and how can I set the values of those variables I mentioned when I am going to deploy the package in the Production?

I changed one data source settings in my SSIS project to use Windows Authentication instead of SQL Authentication. This data source is used to create connection managers in all SSIS packages. Soon after the data source was changed, when I opened any package using the connection manager that is based on this changed data source, I got an alert message box like the one given below showing different connection strings in data source and package connection manager. That's understandable (why can't VS 2005 do this silently or give an option to let this happen silently? that would be nice.).
Here is the problem. Even after both data source and connection manager are synchronized, still the same message box keeps on coming when ever I open any affected package (about 20 packages!). It is very annoying as you can see that old and new connection strings ARE IDENTICAL, still VS 2005 is not able to recognize this. I installed VS2005 SP1 even before I ran into this problem. I asked my friends to open this project and check the behavior on his machine. Same thing. Is this a known bug? How to fix this problem? Thanks for your help.
=====
Message box "Synchronize Connection Strings" (VS 2005 status bar shows "Performing post package load operations"):
This package contains at least one connection which is based on a datasource. The connection string for conenctions and data sources listed below are currently not identical. Connection strings of connections will be updated to reflect those on the datasource.
Connection: SqlServer.NET.HBI_DW.hbiuser
Data source: SqlServer.NET.HBI_DW.hbiuser
Old Connection String: Data Source=SDAL1060DB;Initial Catalog=HBI_DW;Integrated Security=True;
New Connection String: Data Source=SDAL1060DB;Initial Catalog=HBI_DW;Integrated Security=True;

Hi all,
I am facing a problem with the connection method, it says,
"[Store [10069]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Data Source Destination" failed with error code 0xC001A004. "
(Store - Look up component.)
This problem occurs only when i am using Transaction option, all the component(Look up,Destination etc) says the same error message in the Pre-Execute phase. But i can open the component and can able to see the data in preview.
And also this is not occuring in our testing environment. We have copied the same pakages in our production, the package failed stating the above. I can not simulate the same problem in my testing server.
Has anyone faced this kind of problem? please help me to solve this.
Thanks.

I am trying to dynamically change my initial catalog in a SSIS project. Each day I get a snapshot of data from the production server. I am performing ETL on that database and loading it into my warehouse. I am trying to put something together so that each day I get the latest snapshot and if its newer then my most recent one I pass that new catalog into the connection manager. I can already run the sql script to compare the two catalogs but I can't populate the connection manager.

I am working with SQL Server 2012. I have deployed a SSIS project that has 2 packages in it. The package connection manager (Test) uses an expression to evaluate one of the Project parameter value (TestConnectionString) to set its ConnectionString property.
This works fine in a Dev environment. However when deployed to UAT, it keeps failing with the error:Â
PackageExport:Error: The result of the expression
"@[$Project::TestConnectionString]" on property
"Package.Connections[Test].Properties
[ConnectionString]" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the
property.
I can not seem to find what the issue could be. I have come across [URL] .... where it says: "If the package contains project parameters, the package execution may fail." but offers no solution.Â
