I have been trying to get an SSIS package to allow me to set as a variable the actual script for running an Analysis Services DDL, want to perform a restore of a cube. Our environment is different for the location for DEV/QA/ and Production, so when I schedule the task to run I want to have the script needed, really just the path to where the backup lives.
Can someone give a solid solution for this? I have not tried to store parameters in a SQL table, but it would seem this is something that can be done through a variable. I have created a package variable and set the value inside and it runs, but if I try to change the value when I run the package it does not set the value I want.
Under Set Values of the package when I go to run I set the following:
Package.Variables[User::RestoreScript].Properties[Value]
I get a warning saying: "Warning: Configuration from a parent variable 'RestoreScript' did not occur because there was no parent variable collection.
I also have another variable to set, but same issue.
I am a R data miner who is new to SQL and SSIS and would appreciate any help.
I wanted to automate the process of creating and processing decision tree models for every county in the Country. I wanted to use the foreach loop for iterate through all the counties. I wanted the foreach enumerator to be used by the XMLA code that creates the model so it would append it to the name of the model and i would get a different model for every county. I am not sure how to have the XMLA code accept foreach loop enumerator.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you could direct me to a previously done example that would greatly benefit me.
I have a cube that we are processing nightly via an Analysis Service Processing Task in SSIS. In order to increase the performance of the processing time, we elected to use a lot of rigid dimension attributes, and do a full process of everything in the SSIS task. The issue that I am having is that after that task completes, I need to go into Visual Studio to deploy the cube becuase we are unable to browse or use the cube. This issue seemed to start once we changed the SSIS Analysis Service Processing Task to do a full process on the dimensions, rather than an incremental.
I would expect that once development is done, and it is processed and deployed, that is it. My thinking is that the SSIS task should just update the already deployed cube,
I have a execute SQL task in which i have a delete statement with global params.
delete from <tname> where (strval=?) and (year=?)
both are varchar type variables.
my strval column gets a value something like "DecData1.0". But when i ran my DTS package it is ignoring this SQL statement. Might because of the special char '.' in "DecData1.0".
How to handle such situation.
I also tried by putting a single quote. delete from <tname> where (strval='?') and (year=?) But it is giving an error.
I'm using SSIS in Visual Studio 2012. My Execute SQL Task calls a Stored Procedure where I have a TRY-CATCH. Last week there was a problem and the CATCH was executed and logged an error to my error table, but for some reason the Execute SQL Task didn't fail. Is there a setting to make the Execute SQL Task fail when an SP encounters a failure?
Hi. I have an Analaysis Services (2005) cube with four dimensions and one fact table (with three partitions - 2006,2007,2008) for which I need to create an SSIS package to process. I only want to process one of the three partitions (2008) - the previous two years should remain unchanged.
This is what I have currently in the Analysis Services Processing Task under Processing configuration: - An object for each of the dimensions with "Process Full." - An object for the 2008 partition with "Process Full."
(Note - Under Process Options, I see only Process Default, Process Full, Unprocess, and Process Data for dimensions and partitions).
Batch settings are: - Processing order: Sequential - Transaction mode: All in one transaction - Dimension errors: Ignore errors - Process affected objects: Do not process
When I execute the package, the cube loses the 2006 and 2007 data.
I am assuming that I have an issue with the Process Option or the Batch Settings, and I would appreciate any guidance!
The last node of my workflow in SSIS is an analysis Services Processing Task, which is supposed to fully reprocess a cube, defined in a different project.
In the configuration, I found the correct cube and setups for it, I thought I wasn't gonna have any problems with it, but it started to complain about user and password information. I thought since the databases configured itself when I added them, the same thing would happen with this Task.
I do have my own user and pass which has permissions to reprocess the cube, although I thought windows authentication would be better then setting up a user and password for the application/task.
I looked in the entire configuration pane and found no information regarding username and password. Where should I set it up, my SSIS solution or the Cube's solution?
This might be a newbie question, I'm not quite sure...
EDIT: Here is the error message: [Analysis Services Execute DDL Task] Error: The following system error occurred: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. .
I am trying to run Olap Cube 2000 inside SSIS project. I am using "Analysis Services Processing Task" Object. The Visual Studio Project is sitting on the machine where the analysis 2000 is running but yet i get an error while establish a connection to the Analysis server.
On that machine also install MICROSOFT SQL SERVER 2005 .
the error is: A Connection Cannot be made . Ensure that the server is running.
Does Anybody have an idea to why i get this Error.
I have a problem with scheduling an Analysis Services task.
When I execute the DTS package from EM, every thing works fine.
When I schedule the package from SQL Agent, I get the following error when the job executes:

I 'm using 'Analysis Services Processing Task' as part of a SSIS package to refresh the cube. in the property page,
the 'loggingMode' is set 'enabled', but there is no records in the sysdtslog90 table while all other tasks are logged in the table. How to logging into the sysdtslog90 table?
We have an Integration services package that executes a few TSQL tasks, then processes an Analsys Services database. This has been in production for about three weeks now and twice the package has failed with this error from the event log:

I don't think that this error is accurate because the package and Analysis Services are on the same server.
Also, this does not happen in our development environment. Any help is appreciated.
I have an olap database "A" and SSIS package "P" which process all the dimensions and cubes in "A" olap database.
I created "A1" olap database copy of "A" and made copy of "P" SSIS package as "P1" I opened "P1" SSIS package and updated olap connection properties "Initial Catalog = A1". A1 is my new olap database.
When I run package "P1" guess what? it processed "A" olap database's cubes and dimensions. Try it, not in production because I did it in production.
We have set up an IS package to process an AS 2005 database (comprising cube & dimensions, etc) daily, via a SQL Server Agent job on both development and production systems. This has been working fine for months.
A new dimension was added to the cube on the development system - automatic processing via the IS package continued without issue. However, when the new dimension was added to the production system the IS package no longer processes the cube correctly. Although all appears ok (and all is present and correct in the logs), no data updates to the cube are made. Only when the cube is manually processed does the cube get updated.
Anyone got any ideas about how to get around this issue? We have created a new IS package, with a single Analysis Services Processing Task, and tried this but get the same outcome.
In the SSIS Analysis Services processing task, I was wondering if anyone knows why some dimensions do not have the Process Update option in the list of options for processing them? If there is only Process Full, Process Data, and Unprocess, I am not sure how I can do incremental updates without scripting.
Also, will this affect the cubes if a full process is performed?
I am trying to execute an SSIS package from a client that contains an Analysis Services Processing Task in the package. The client that does not have SSIS and SSAS installed. We are getting an error
The task "Analysis Services Processing Task" cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition. The same package runs from a server that has both SSIS and SSAS installed. Let me know if someone has come across the same problem.
I have an Analysis Services Processing Task in my SSIS package. I run the SSIS package using SQL Server job, the running of the package is a job step.
When I process manually the analysis services objects (in practise cubes) using dtexec utility I get a lot of log. In case the processing fails I get error messages that quite well describe the error. But when I run the job the only information I get in the job log is that the job step failed. I know the failure happens in the Analysis Services Processing Task.
Is there any way in SSIS to get a) the log of the Analysis Services processing or b) the error messages of the Analysis Services processing? Or should the processing be done some other way than I've been doing?
This is for SSIS 2008r2. I am generating flat files successfully with a datetime stamp (filename_yyyymmddhhmm). Now I need to append a MAX(FILEDATE) from the file. I have a query to do this, but am not sure about two things:
1) Is it advised to put the query in a Script Task (with db conn and so forth) or is it better to put it in an Execute SQL Task? I am thinking the latter but am not 100% sure.
2) How would I pass the result of this query (yyyymm) to the filename. The filename format would be (filename_yyyymm). I am assuming that I would probably need to pass the result into a variable/expression but am not quite sure of the steps involved.
I have an SSIS package which calls a command line app.When run in BIDS, it executes normally. The command line app is passed the arguments, does what it needs to do.When called as a SQL Agent Job (by the agent, or by me) it fails when calling the app, giving an exit code of 2 (which is an exception trapped by a try-catch). The SQL Agent service is running under my user (it's a test environment). The argument passed (from the log) is valid, and I've run it against the app, it provides the appropriate output.I can't for the life of me figure out what's going wrong.The app is passed an argument of a path and a password, and applies the password to the file, using interop.
We find that if we deploy the OLAP database with a different name on the test server, then regardless of how we change the connection string provided to the SSIS package that processes the cube, then the package fails to connect to the database. To clarify:
In development the OLAP database is called MyOlapDB and the source database is called MySqlDB. Both are on the same machine. When the the application is built and released for test, the test team install the databases on a replica of the production environment (i.e. web app on one machine, OLAP DB on another and SQL database on yet another). They also, quite rightly, implement the new test databases so they incorporate the build version number. So, MyOlapDB123 and MySqlDB123 are both from build 123.
This is when the problems start. Regardless of how the connection string is specified in the job that processes the cube, the SSIS integration package fails with the error:
[Analysis Services Execute DDL Task] Error: Errors in the metadata manager. Either the database with the ID of 'MyOlapDB' does not exist in the server with the ID of 'OurTestServer', or the user does not have permissions to access the object.
We have tried config files and job properties, but neither work. Also, simply attempting to run the package using the DTEXECUI does not work either.
Looking inside the XML of the package, we clearly see the ConnectionManager object which has the original connection string, which is
Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=MyOlapDB;Provider=MSOLAP.3;Integrated Security=SSPI;Impersonation Level=Impersonate;
However, editing the initial catalog here still does not solve the problem. Searching the XML for the string MyOlapDB reveals the OLAP database name in two other places - both within the object data of the two Analysis Services Execute DDL tasks.
Anyone know how to solve this problem without having to hack the XML of the package?
in a SSIS 2012 pkg, I'm trying to specify a SELECT TOP ? myColumn FROM myTable inside an Execute SQL task, but unsuccessfully.Is it possible to parameterize the TOP clause?

I have tried to incorporate 638 lines sql code inside the Execute SQL Task editor. But it is truncating the codes inside the Execute SQL Task (SQL command) in SSIS.write all 639 lines of codes in the Execute SQL Task Editor in SSIS.
IS that possible to get teh output of a execute sql task to excel destination.I have query which will comapre the data difference between two databses. It will comapre all tables in both databses and list out the difference in data by each table. I need to run this query using SSIS and need to get the output to a excel sheet...I have used the data flow task to run this query but my query is giving some error when used with data flow task. So i have used excecute sql task and need to write teh out put to a excel sheet.
hi, i need execute a store procedure of Informix from sql server integration services. i use driver IBM informix provider 3.2 and have linked server Informix and use sql task for execute the procedure it's posible??
The SSIS Package deletes the current week's data, reloads it with fresh data, then calculates the difference between the current week and last week.
The problem is that randomly, instead of deleting the current week, it will delete the previous week. This happens maybe 5-10% of the time. At least it does until I rebuild the package and import it into SQL Server again.
I'm guessing that the Execute SQL Task is not updating the value of the Week variable before it executes. I started with the source type being a variable. Then I decided to try Direct input and pass in the Week as a parameter (OLE DB Connection Type). That didn't work either.
Most recently I tried writing the Week variable to a table first, then having a sequence container with all the tasks second. Slightly better but I still saw the date was wrong 2 times in about 90 executions. I was hoping that writing the Week variable out to the database would force an update of any associated connections to it, but that didn't seem to work.
I have created for each container to call all the packages in a folder like below, also created a variable.
Then I add execute package task inside of foreach container and selected file system in a location and in connection called currently creating package name finally in connection properties i added variable in expression which i created and mapped into for each loop container. I referred below link

All the packages are running but its not ending once all the packages executed its re run and continue the running process, how to stop once all the packages execute.
I have an execute process task set up to run ftp.exe and a script argument. The ftp.exe is referenced in the executable field without a qualified path. The package just seems to know it's there relatively. I need to change this to run a secured ftp executable that I recently installed on my pc. I put the new executable in the WindowsSystem32 folder where the old ftp.exe is stored. But when I put the new executable in the executable field, it says the 'File/Process "FTPS.exe" is not in path'. I get the same error when I fully qualify the path. Is there something I need to do with the new executable for SSIS to pick it up without having to fully qualify the path?
In my ssis 2012 package, I have a 'object' type variable with some table like records. I want to do some SQL operations like insert/update on the records in another table based on this 'Object' type variable records. Basically I want to use a MERGE statement with another physical table with the records in the 'Object' type variable.how to map/use the Object type variable in Execute sql task.I am not good in script task. How to utilize this Object variable in a Execute sql task?
Have an SSIS package running great in 2008R2. It generates several flat files based on inline database queries. The first step of the package inserts a record into a log stats table and the last step of the package updates this record with the package name, run time and execution status. Now I need to add the records counts for each flat file to the log table.
Is there a way I can update one field for run counts with each of the counts for each file. So the [run counts] table column would look something like:
file1: 43522 file2: 645367 file3: 7883
Is it possible to store the record counts and flat file names in variables then concat them at the end when updating this record?
Or, is a better way to just insert/update a new record for each flat file step and log the counts for that file for its own record?
In either case, how I can capture the file count and pass that to the update statement.
