Audit Transformation Uses CURRENT Lengths For User Name And Machine Name Columns
Dec 2, 2007
I'll try to reproduce this later, but want to report it before I forget.
I just had my package fail on a VM I was testing on. It failed because on that machine, I logged in as MachineNameAdministrator instead of using my domain account (the VM is not in the domain).
This was a problem because the "User Name" column generated by the Audit Transformation was 17 characters long! This is the length of my domain + user name on my development machine. Similarly, the machine name length was 15 characters.
I'd love to know what the "correct" sizes are for these columns. In the meantime, I'm going to set these to 255 manually, and hope the size sticks.
P.S. There was one other post on this topic, though the thread isn't clear that this was the problem: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=472445&SiteID=1.
Help! I am using Script Transformation to output a new column as image[DT_IMAGE] field to store serialized object. In the VB script, the sample code as
The package always runs fine on my developing machine and will halt on other machine at AddBlobData after certain number row records were processed. I am stuck here. Anyone has any suggestion?
What I need is reading data from mutiple tables in one database and writing into a single table in another datable. In order preserve all the columns data, I use input column fields to construct a new object and then serialize it, and store the serialize data into detination db table. (The object and serialization function is coming from c# dll.)
Dim b As BusinessLicense = New BusinessLicense() b.ApprovalDate = Row.approvaldate b.BusinessId = Row.busid b.BusinessName = Row.busname b.NaicsCode = Row.naicscode b.NaicsDescription = Row.naicsdescr b.OwnerName = Row.ownername b.Phone = Row.phone b.Pkey = Row.pkey b.RenewalDate = Row.renewaldate b.StartDate = Row.startdate b.Suite = Row.suite
Row.serializedobject.AddBlobData(Serializer.Serialize(b)) '''----This is blocking line Row.infoType = BusinessLicense.TYPE
Both machine is xp with sp2. and standard SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06
I have made a server security audit and specify from database audit specification to audit "select" on a certain user and on a certain table. I logged in by this user and made the select statement..when i run this query
"select * from sys.fn_get_audit_file('d:Auditaudit1*',null,null)"
It return a value at which time the query has done
after 15 minutes i repeated the same action, i run the audit query and the same result is showed off on the panel.is it suppose to return a list of values by how many times this user has made the select statement on that table ? for example at 5:00 pm then 6:00 pm and so on
I am getting an error that I am stuck on. I dragged the Audit Transformation for error handling (Flat File Source); however, the Audit Transformation is returning an error for one of the standard column "User name". I tried to change the length or take out this column, but the error does not go away. Below is the error message. Your help is much appreciated!

does anyone know how i can audit a servers login id's and tell the last time it was used. i have just gain about 8 sql servers with a bunch of users that i know are no longer around. so i am trying to trim out dead id's
I'm an Oracle DBA that has inherited some SQL Server 2000 databases. Can you audit a particular user in Sql Server 2000. We need to know exactly what a particular user is doing, (i.e. creating/dropping objects, and what data he is accessing)
What is the easiest way to find out what objects a security login has mapped to it? Something that would show all the explicit grants a specific user has.
I am trying to create a TSQL statement or stored procedure that cantell me what users belong to what group and what groups have access towhat files. Can anyone help? Can I pull out a list of names fromActive Directory to use as my user list?
Hello all, does anyone know of a SS2005RS user audit program that an administrator can run on a RS server to show which userids have access to folders? I have in mind a pgm that would show:
folder users
Home user01, user02, user03
folderA user01,user02, user05
folderB user02, user06
Is there a pgm available as a download, or does someone have a home-grown pgm whose source they would let out?
We have a database with hundreds of tables, each with "CreatedByLoginId" and "ModifiedByLoginId" FK columns back to the Login table. This is all fine and well, but 500+ tables all link back to Login table every time a record is inserted or updated.
For strictly performance reasons, what do you think of us REMOVING the FK constraints on all of our tables? While this does mean that a GUID that is not a valid LoginId could potentially be put in a table, I'm not too worried about it because users don't have direct access to the database.
Does anyone know of a quick way to audit all users in a database and display their rights and permissions on a table level. I would hate to have to do it one user at a time. There has to be an easier way.
I'm going through a Sarbanes Oxley audit and need to provide them this information.
We recently upgraded to SQL 2005 from SQL 2000. We have most of our issues ironed out however about every 1 minute there is a message in the Application Event log and the SQL log that states:
EVENT ID 18456 Login Failed for the users DOMAIN/ACCOUNT [CLIENT: <local machine>]
This is a state 16 message which I thought meant that the account does not have access to the default database. The account is actually the account that the SQL services run under.
Any ideas? We can't seem to figure this one out. We actually upgraded to 2005 from 2000 and had an error appear after every reboot that prevented the SQL Agent from running(This application has failed to start because GAPI32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.) We did a full uninstall of SQL and reinstalled fresh and restored the databases from .bak files and that is when the EVENT ID 18546 started occuring every minute.
We don't have any SQL heavy hitters here so please be detailed with any possible solutions. That you very much for any help you can provide!
Can I add Output Columns to the Script Transformation Editor using code? I have to execute a SQL Statement to determine the number of years we have the data for for an item and then create the columns for the months in those years and populate them with the quantities. So my question is can I create output columns to the Script Transformation Editor on the fly that is as it is being executed?
Is there by chance a cunning way to make the input columns automatically populate the output of an asynchronous script transformation?
My transformation writes several rows for each input row read. I'm creating some new columns along the way but I'd like all of the input columns to get output each time also. However I can't see any obvious way to achieve this, short of manually defining each column to the output and populating it in the script.
I am using a script component to transform data. In the script component I created a bunch of fields for the output. Is there any way to loop through that list of columns? Is there code I can use in the script component to access the names, data types, data etc?
I saw a lot of informaiton on the OutputColumnCollection as part of some IDTSOuput90 thing (greek to me). As best I can guess this is for creating your own new columns, but can I see what columns are already defined via the script interface?
SELECT a.TestID, a.TestCode FROM TableA a WHERE UPPER(RTRIM(a.TestCode)) IN SELECT (SELECT UPPER(RTRIM(b.TestCode)) FROM TableB b)
Of course the above query is missing a few things but with ETL the where clause UPPER(RTRIM does not appear to be something that has an object or property that I can use in the Lookup.
I would like my transformation to automatically create an output column for each input column. Any tips? I can't seem to determine which event to listen to or method to override.
Hi, I have an example situation that seems like it should have a super easy solution, but my jobs keep failing. Here we go. . .
I have a SQL Server 2005 table as my source in a data flow task. This table contains raw data. We'll call it FACT_Product_Raw - which contains a field called ProductType varchar(1) Let's say that ProductType contains values of "A" or "B" or "C" - or for that matter, some null and garbage values
I have a lookup table, LOV_Product_Types This table contains 3 fields that will transform my raw data table We'll call these fields ProdTypeID smallint, ProdTypeRaw varchar(1) and ProdType smallint It contains pairs such that A = 1, B = 2, and so on.
Here's what I want to do. I want to ADD a field to FACT_Product_Raw that contains the "looked up" value from LOV_Product_Types. Let's say that I want to add the ProdTypeID field to my _Raw table.
I have used the _Raw table as both my source and destination It blows up every time. Help. Thanks, David
The documentation on the fuzzy lookup transform mentions that only columns of type DT_WSTR and DT_STR can be used in fuzzy matching. I interpreted this as meaning that you could not create a mapping between an input column of type DT_NTEXT and a column from the reference table. I assumed that you could still have a DT_NTEXT column as part of the input and mark this as a pass through column so that it's value could be inserted in the destination, together with the result of the lookup operation. Apparently this is not the case. Validation fails with the following message: 'The data type of column 'fieldname' is not supported.' First, I'd like to confirm that this is really the case and that I have not misinterpreted this limitation.
Finally, given the following situation
- A data source with input columns
Field_A DT_STR Field_B DT_NTEXT
- A fuzzy lookup is used to match Field_A to a row in the reference table and obtain Field_C.
- Finally, Field_B and Field_C must be inserted into the destination.
I am getting this error while uploading a text file in a table:Error at Source for Row number 7370Too Many Columns Found in the current row;;non-whitespace characterswere found after the last defined column's data.Then I copied the row 7370 in one file and tried to only upload that. Ididn't get the error, but when I look at the data I see <Long Text>. Thetext was 5800 bytes.
My derived column transformation with a user variable expression displays the user variable's default and not its assignned value.
Background: I built a script component that seems to effectively assign a new value to a user variable. I use local variables within the component, make the assignment in the PostExecute subroutine, and check by writing the user variable to a messagebox there.
In the derived column transformation I create a new column and insert the user variable in its expression field, add a data viewer, and send it to a data destination. The data viewer shows the user variable default and not the assignned value.
I replaced the user variable with a system variable in the expression field and that works fine.
Have folks successfully used this scenario before? Any ideas? Thanks.
Am using SQL Server 2000, and am writing some audit triggers. How do I getthe the name of the user, eg. user_id or current_user. Just spent an hourlooking through the SAMS book for this, and can't find any reference.
In SSIS I use the DQS Cleansing transformation component. I've got a knowledge base (KB) in place and this KB holds various domains and my data source has more input columns than would like to use for a particular clean up operation. I want to use some of the input columns to map against some domains in the KB. It is my understanding that it should be possible to select only the required input columns, but all i can do is select all input columns.
We have a user-defined function that can be called directly via SQL (in SQL Server Management Studio) without error. We would like to use this function to populate a column, whist data is being processed within Integration Services. Using an OLE DB Command transformation to achieve this would seem the most appropriate.
The following was inserted for the SQLCommand property:
However, when the Refresh button is pressed we are presented with the error below:
Error at Load Orderline [OLE DB Command [15171]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8004E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x8004E14 Description: "Invalid parameter number".
If we use SET instead of EXEC (e.g. SET ? = dbo.GetOrderlineStatus(@dt_required = ?, @dt_invoice = ?, @dt_despatch = ?, @ch_status = ?, @si_suffix = ?, @re_quantity = ?, @vc_invoice_id = ?, @vc_order_id = ?)) the following error is produced:
Error at Load Orderline [OLE DB Command [15171]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Syntax error, permission violation, or other nonspecific error".
Hi, I am using SQL server 2005 (express). I have a user like "test" with some password. After login with this userid and password i tried to get the current user executing
Print CURRENT_USER but its displaying the result as 'dbo' instead of 'test'. In server roles for this particular login i have marked all the options.
Can anyone tell me why i am getting like this? What permission/setting i am missing?
I'm creating a new Integration Services Project that copies data out of a SQL 7 server, transforms it, and places the data on a SQL 2005 (SP 2) Server. When defining a lookup transformation, if I specify an OLE DB Connection to my server running SQL 7 as the reference table, as soon as I click on the Colums tab, Visual Studio closes / crashes and dumps me to windows. I don't get an error message. If however I specify a connection to a server running SQL 8, or SQL 2005, no problems.
Is this supposed to happen?
My workstation is running Windows XP Pro SP2, Visual Studio 2005 Pro.
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer Version 9.00.1399.00
The server that doesn't work for a reference table is running Windows 2000 Server SP4 SQL 7.00.623
After some help from the folks in the Security forum, I have some of the answer I need. Hopefully someone here can help me figure out the best method of using that information to find a final solution. To start, here's a brief synapsis: I'm developing an App in ASP.NET 2.0, using forms-based authentication and the Login Control. I am able to login fine as far as I can tell, since I am able to proceed to the destinationURL without error. From there, I button click to the application in question. Here is where I have the problem. I want to run a select query on a SQL table where a field = the current user's Username. I cannot find any examples of doing this. I have managed to figure out how to retrieve the current user's username via the Membership.GetUser method, but I can't seem to figure out how to apply that to my SqlDataSource Control and get a valid response. a snippet of my control's code follows: <script runat="server"> - This is run inline, not code-behindProtected memUser As MembershipUser
Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)memUser = Membership.GetUser()End Sub</script> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:SWGToolsetConnectionString %>"SelectCommand="SELECT [CharacterName] FROM [Characters] WHERE ([UserID] = '<% =Server.HtmlEncode(memUser.Username) %>')"></asp:SqlDataSource> If anyone can tell me what I can or should be doing differently, I would appreciate it.
I have a SQL 2005 question for you. In the SQL server Management Studio. When I right click on the database and use the SQL Server Import and Export wizard, I can import databases but cannot export them.
The error says:
The current user is not an owner of the selected database. This might cause some operations with this database to fail.
I use sa to loginto the server Management Studio, does anyone know how to create a database where the user and owner are the smae so I can export?
