Hi,
is there a solution outside for getting of DB2 for OS/390 into SQL server?
I mean not replication or copying of data with flat files or an ETL tool, but a kind of integration of DB2 tables as they would be "normal" mssql tables.
Oracle has Transparent Gateways for os/z DB2 and many other non-Oracle databases, is there some similar for SQL Server?
Could it be realisable with an ODBC client for DB2?
Thanks
In using SSIS to migrate data from mainframe to SQL 2005, I had a situation where only group level data was exposed through the ODBC to SSIS, so I pulled this information as varchar on the SQL destination side. Now I would like to break that group into the individual numeric columns I need on SQL Server. However, the positive and negative sign did not convert because it came of character. I can write something to convert the positive signs to positive numbers; however I cannot do the negative because I would need get rid of the leading zeros in order to place the negative sign before the number. Is there anything I could have done to get SSIS to do the conversion like it did for every one-to-one mapping?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a setup with a bridge table. There are about 5 different tables
on one side of the bridge (all with compatable PK columns) one of which
is called 'mobilesub', and one on the other side called
'allcostcenters'. The bridge table is called 'subaccountcostcenter'.
I can enter data for mobilesub in the bridge table. But then when I try
to enter the info into the bridge table for any of the other tables,
such as localsub, there is a conflict like this:
INSERT statement conflicted with TABLE FOREIGN KEY constraint
'FK_subaccountcostcenter_mobilesub'. The conflict occurred in database
'test1', table 'mobilesub'.
The statement has been terminated.
Is there some rule against using a bridge table that references several
different tables, and I'm just not aware of it. Because I've done
everything I can to make sure the info from the different tables don't
conflict . . .
The same error comes up if I do the localsub table first--in that case
the foriegn key messing me up is FK_subaccountcostcenter_localsub. So
it's not something with the individual tables.
I need experienced advice lol
Thanks
Hey Everyone,I am a stored procedures newbie, so I wanted to ask if it is possibleto use them with PHP via an ODBC-ODBC bridge connected to a MS SQLserver. I am simply use the commands from the php odbc library toconnect and execute the SQL commands, I am trying to avoid buildingdynamic queries, so stored proceddures seem to be the answer. I knowthat there are only certain environments stored procedures can be usedwithin. Thank you for all of your help.

I have a bridge table used in my current design, the relation ship is FactTable -> DimRoom -> BridgeTable -> BedGrpoup. Fact table is joined with the Dim room dimension on room key, the bridge table maps values from the DimRoom and BedGroup dimension. The scenario I have is that the mapping between room and bed group can change during which I'm recording it in the effective date attribute in the bridge table.
Dimension usage on the cube is having a many to many relationship with bridge table.Example, if a fact occurred in room 100 which belonged to Bed Group A in Jan 2015 and then the room changed to Bedgroup b in feb 2015 and another fact happened in the  room then I should have 1 count for jan in A and 1 in B for feb, I get that right when sliced by room, but when I slice by Month the cube does not honour time dim and displays both. I tried mapping the date from the bridge table to the fact as a regular relationship but that does not work either.
Hello,
we have automated build on every night. In our solution is SSIS project, where each package is encrypted per password. We call build process per command line like this..
C:ProgrammeMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe (c:DevelopmentX3\X3.sln /build Release)' in 'c:DevelopmentProjectsDailyBuild
Through build process we get a error:
External Program Failed: C:ProgrammeMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEdevenv.exe (return code was 1):
We think a reason is, that on build of SSIS project must be entered a password. You can wonder for what we need that SSIS packages are part of our build. We hope that on build process is also created Deployment Utility, if so set in dtproject.user. Is it so? Is there any way to create Deployment utility on automated build process? Can be a password provided pre command line?
with best regards

I am trying to send files over to an ftp server on Mainframe using scripts that is provided in this link, but I can't get it to work.
The problem is the sendfile method concatinates the source file name to the MVS dataset name which causes the issue.

Dim mgr As ConnectionManager

conn.Connect()
conn.SendFiles(fromFiles, toFiles, True, True)

I am loading from Mainframe to Sqlserver.
Right now i am truncating the tables in sqlserver connecting to mainframe and downloading the tables to Sql server. The problem is sometimes i fail to connect to Mainframe. So is there any way of checking whether i can connect to mainframe and if succesful truncate the tables.
Thanks
I am trying to use the FTP Task within a DTS Package to copy a file from the Mainframe (OS390). We have SQL2000 with SP2 running on NT. This process works when I do it manually with ftp. At first, when I would execute the package it would just hang like it is copying but it would never end.
Then, I added a Dynamic Properties Task to the package. I used the Dynamic Properties Task to set up a Constant with the actual name of the Source File located on the Mainframe. When I ran this I received "Invalid string format for source file name".
Next, I removed the Dynamic Properties Task from the DTS Package, saved the package, and executed it. The package executed successfully, but when I looked in the folder on my hardrive the file that was supposed to be copied was not there. In order to get the package to execute successfully it appears that I have to go through the following process: add the Dynamic Properties Task, set up a constant to change the Source File name, save the package, delete the Dynamic Properties Task, save the package and then execute it.
Also, on one execution of this package, it brought across the file from the Mainframe to my hard drive but the file was in Binary format.
What do I have to do to get the FTP Task within a DTS Package to work? Would you specify in detail exactly how the Dynamic Properties Task needs to be set up? How can I specify how to change the file format from Binary to ASCII in the DTS Package?
Thanks, in advance.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHello Everybody!
Im trying to migrate my SQL 2000 packages that´s currently working in the company production enviroment to SSIS packages. So, in the 2000 version i got the flat file from Mainframe and i had to do a trick to transform all the columns to match the same size as the example above:
1432 1138734217 1144256628<CRLF>
1432 1138734217<CRLF>
1433 1136657788 1122441177<CRLF>
1433 1125554545 1122441177<CRLF>
1433 1192925544 1122441177<CRLF>
So, when i import the file, first of all i have to transform the Text file to another texfile file fixing the size to 32..... but you can see that in the second row im receiving a CRLF and if i try to import without the trick, the preview of the ragged file show me the columns desorganized...
Someone knows how to import it without transform to another text file with fixed length?
Thanks

I have data on the mainframe that contains special characters such as a copyright symbol (letter c with a circle) when running the SSIS package migration from mainframe database to SQL Server 2005 database the data in the column is truncated at the point it hits this symbol with no errors. I had error reports set up for truncation and did not see an error report for this.
I have tried to change the data type to different data types and re-run nothing changes things.
The symbol is a EBCDIC 'b4' on the mainframe side - I have no idea what that would translate to.
Anyone have any ideas? Am I stuck with substituting something else for the symbol on the mainframe side and re-running the package? Is there anyway to handle this situation in SSIS? I am using the Import/Export Wizard for this one because before I ran into this problem it seemed to be working fine.
Thanks, MaryOS
I am migrating mainframe data to SQL Server 2005 and have found that from a mainframe character field with leading zeros for example the value of 00023 to a SQL Server column defined as varchar (5) the resulting column value is 23 not 00023. I need the leading zeros because these are account ids, etc. So the value is 00023 not 23. Is this some setting in SQL Server 2005 that needs to be changed or what? This is not a numeric field on the mainframe or a numeric column for SQL Server.
View 11 Replies View RelatedWhen attempting to use the FTP task to download a file from a Mainframe system the task fails stating the filename as invalid because it doesn't begin with a "/".
Adding the slash to the front of the file name causes the mainframe to be unable to locate the file.
Commandline version of FTP.exe mimicks this behavior by working perfectly when the filename has no slash, and being unable to find the file when the slash is present.
Why does microsoft force a filename to start with a "/" and is there a way to make SSIS skip the validation phase for the FTP task?
Howdy all,
I've seen several posts about reading and writing files that have different record types with varying column metadata. My particular file has 11 record types plus several header types and looks something like:
<Header1>
<Header2>
<Detail01-#1>
<Subdetail02>
<Subdetail03>
...
<Detail01-#2>
<Subdetail02>
<Subdetail03>
...
...
Since i need to get different detail and subdetail records, i can't really use the technique of 3 dest file connection managers found in http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=87269&SiteID=1
I've tried using an exec sql to get the main detail records and then a forech ADO en umerator that would get the subdetails, but it all seems so kludgy. I'm starting to think that I should just write the bulk of the file creation code in a c# app instead of trying to smush this into SSIS. Opinions? Am I missing some trick in SSIS?
TIA,

Hey folks, I just inherited a machine where select @@version returns this:

Okay, I know that:
623 is orig sql
699 is sp 1
842 is sp 2
961 is sp 3 -- but what's 710 ?
going to http://search.support.microsoft.com/kb/c.asp?ln=en-us gets me exactly 0 <zero> hits. Is this a hotfix someone's aware of?
Any thoughts/documentation/whatever would be appreciated.
