Audit Transformation Error
Jun 13, 2006
Hello all,
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!
-Lawrence
"The length for "output column "User name" (195)" is not valid for the specified lineage item."
"component "Audit" (180)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".

tell me the difference between Audit transformation and rowcount transformation.
Because audit and rowcount transformation will provide the environment variables.
Only difference i am finding is rowcount returns the count of rows its updating .
Apart from these is there any other difference?
Tell me the scenario where i need to use the audit transformation.

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.

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 need help...here is the problem.Last weekend, the servers in our datacenter where moved around. After thismove, and maybe coincidental, 1 server is performing very poor. Afterrunning a trace with SQL Profiler, I saw the problem which was laterconfirmed with another tool for SQL server performance monitoring. It seemsthat all connections to the SQL server (between 200 - 400) are doing a login/ logout for each command that they process. For example, the user'sconnection will login, perform a SELECT, and then logout. This is not a..NET application. The client software was not changed, it is still thesame. The vendor has said that it is not supposed to do that, it issupposed to use 1 connection that log's on in the morning and logs off atthe end of the day or whenever the user exits. 1 user may have severalconnections to the database.At times, the server is processing over 250 login / logouts (avgeraged for30 second period). Has anyone seen this problem? I have the server inAUDIT FAILUREs only. The server has become very unresponsive, things thattook 3 seconds now take over 15 seconds.Any ideas???

Hi,
If you have two synchronous transformation components and the input of the second is connected to the output of the first, does the first transformation process (loop through) all rows in the buffer before outputting these rows to the second transformation? Or does the first transformation output each individual row to the second transormation as soon as it has finished processing it?
Thanks in advance,
Lawrie.

Q1: Any way to control which db loads when, and perhaps stop this error from happening? Again- when all is said and done, the report server functions, and I am able to access just fine.
Q2: What kind of recovery is being referred to? Given the message type- I assume it's nothing of concern- probably more to do with a system that doesn't run all the time.
Okay- so I get these two event messages each time I boot.
Below are two error message I see daily with each system boot- the services mentioned do "actually" function, and are running- as not 10 seconds after these messages are logged, the successfully loaded messages appear. It's almost as if report services tries to connect before the databases are up and running.
Basically the sequence (today) was:
1. 05:49:01 Failure Audit (MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS)
2. 05:49:01 Error (Report Server Windows Service (SQLEXPRESS)
3. 05:49:02 Recovery is complete. (EventID 3408 MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS)
4. 05:49:06 Starting up database 'ReportServer'
5. 05:49:09 Server Resumed execution (MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS)
I'm assuming based on the events that Report Server Service attempts to connect to the ReportServer database before it's actually started. Doesn't really explain the failure audit-
1. Failure Audit:
Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: MSSQL$SQLEXPRESS
Event Category: (4)
Event ID: 18456
Date: 8/9/2007
Time: 05:49:01
User: <MACHINENAME><LOCALUSER>
Computer: <MACHINENAME>
Description:
Login failed for user '<MACHINENAME><LOCALUSER>'.
[CLIENT: <local machine>]
This is almost immediately followed by this (which I consider a no-brainer, considering the above):
2. Error:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Report Server Windows Service (SQLEXPRESS)
Event Category: Management
Event ID: 107
Date: 8/9/2007
Time: 05:49:01
User: N/A
Computer: <MACHINENAME>
Description:
Report Server Windows Service (SQLEXPRESS) cannot connect to the report server database.

I am developing a custom destination component and I have encountered a few areas where there seems to be a lack of helpful documentation and examples.
1. I have not been able to find any information on or examples of creating custom destinations with an error output. The OLE DB Destination has an error output so I investigated the input and error output properties in the advanced editor and found that the OLE DB Destination error output is synchronous with the input (its SynchronousInputID matches the input's ID) and has its ExclusionGroup value set to 1. Using this information, I modeled my error output after the OLE DB Destination.
ProvideComponentProperties:
AddErrorOutput(ERROR_OUTPUT_NAME, input.ID, 1);
ProcessInput:
int errorOutputID = -1;
int errorOutputIndex = -1;
GetErrorOutputInfo(ref errorOutputID, ref errorOutputIndex);
...
buffer.DirectErrorRow(errorOutputID, 0, errorOutputIndex);
Checking the input and error output properties in the advanced editor for my custom destination component I find the following:
Input
-----
ID: 3515
Error Output
------------
ExclusionGroup: 1
ID: 3516
IsErrorOut: True
SynchronousInputID: 3515
Shortly after I start my SSIS package and it encounters an error row, I get the following exception:
[My Destination Adapter 1 [3512]] Error: System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range. at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper.IDTSBuffer90.DirectErrorRow(Int32 hRow, Int32 lOutputID, Int32 lErrorCode, Int32 lErrorColumn) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.PipelineBuffer.DirectErrorRow(Int32 outputID, Int32 errorCode, Int32 errorColumn) at MyDestination.ProcessInput(Int32 inputID, PipelineBuffer buffer) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ManagedComponentHost.HostProcessInput(IDTSManagedComponentWrapper90 wrapper, Int32 inputID, IDTSBuffer90 pDTSBuffer, IntPtr bufferWirePacket)
2. My custom destination component is used for writing a file with a fixed schema. I followed the means by which source component examples add their output columns, but applied this to my external metadata columns. In my Validate() I check if the ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.Count == 0 and return DTSValidationStatus.VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA; to force a call to ReinitializeMetaData(). In ReinitializeMetaData() I call a method that creates the input's external metadata columns that reflect my external data source.
This works fine except every time I add my custom destination component to a SSIS Package and go to edit the component I am greeted with a dialog box that states: "The component is not in a valid state. ... Do you want the component to fix these errors automatically?" Pressing the Yes button, I assume, makes the call to ReinitializeMetaData() and I have my external metadata columns. Where is the correct place to add the external metadata columns so the user does not have to take this extra step every time they add my component to their package?

Hi all€”Given a date field called [Reading Date] and a time field called [Reading Time], I am attempting to use the following transformation on the field to test for nulls and combine the data into a single field called [Reading Date/Time]:
(DT_WSTR)([Reading Date]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Date]) || (DT_WSTR)([Reading Time]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Time])? (DT_DBDATE)GETDATE() : (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],7,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],1,4) + " " + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],1,8))
I get the following error:
Error at Data Flow Task [Derived Column1[177]]: Attempt to parse the expression "(DT_WSTR)([Reading Date]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Date]) || (DT_WSTR)([Reading Time]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Time])? (DT_DBDATE)GETDATE() : (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],7,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],1,4) + " " + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],1,8))" failed. The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element. It might not be well-formed or might be missing part of a required element such as a parenthesis.
Here is a sample [Reading Date]:
05/07/08
Here is a sample [Reading Time]:
19:45:48
I need to be able to handle exceptions if one or both contain NULL or no data at all. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Jon

I have a SSIS package which contains a number of slowly changing dimension transformations. While the majority work I have one which gives me the following error 'Error: The variable "System::LocaleID" is already on the read list. A variable may only be added once to either the read lock list or the write lock list. '. This error only occurs if the destination table holds data. If I truncate the table and reload the data then the package complete successful. The only difference I can see between this dimension transformation and the other dimension transforms is that the one in question has 2 business keys while the rest have 1.
Can anyone shed light on this?
Thanks

Hello,
How would you do a log in a massive rows loading, I'm having problems because every row error(because of casting, format, lookup) in a transformation task is redirected to a text file as a log, this is ok when only exist one error by row, but in the case when I have two errors in the same row detected by diferents transformation tasks only the first one is reported to the text file, I have to wait to the second information load, after I correct the first error, to find the second one, I need to validate as many errors exists by row in the same load...
which component or which strategy can I use in a SSIS Packge to achieve this?
thanks

Good morning,
Im having a little problem with this report I need to generate, so I thought I would ask for some advice.
I have 2 tables. The 1st is the actual table and the 2nd is the log table (Employee; Employee_log). the '_log' table is an image of the Employee table except it has 4 extra fields (recID, last_updated_employee_id, operation and operation_date) recid being the PK of the log table.
I need to generate a report that contains some thing like the following:
Table_Name
Column_Name
Old_Value
New_Value
Employee_Modifier
Operation
Operation_Date
Employee
LastName
Reid
Blevins
Jessica Bluff
UPDATE
2/2/2008
Employee
FirstName
Bison
Blison
Jessica Bluff
UPDATE
2/1/2008
Employee
EmployeeID
1234
Jessica Bluff
INSERT
2/1/2008
Employee
EmployeeID
75
Bill Thompson
DELETE
1/28/2008
To do this, I compare the Employee table to the Employee_log table. If I find changes (the two columns do not equal), I add that columnName and the column value for the regular table(new_value) and the column value for the log table(old value). If anyone has a solution or some sql to help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. (A query that will give me each columnName with the value per row would help; Somehow possibly joining my Employee table with 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS' ??) Thanks!

Hello,
I wish to track changes made to a table, including login who made the change, time of change, etc, without having to change the existing table structure, stored procedures, application.
If anyone has any strategies (with a brief explanation) or articles they could point me to, it would be very much appreciated.
My thinking is to set up a trigger to write both old and new data to a audit table but considering different strategies may be helpful.
Thanks for your time,

I have tried to make my basic audit log do more, but i haven't gotten very far;
In my basic audit log, i record this information:
table
type of change
field modified
old value
new value
db user
date/time
This audit records everything, which is great, but it cannot relate information when i go back to analyze the changes; for example, when a "directory" record is added, a user's information may be entered into several different tables, such as:
name (different table)
addresses (different table)
phone numbers (different table)
If one wanted to look up the changes to addresses of a person in the directory based on the person's name, i could not do it with my existing audit log because the addresses would be in a different table than the name table and there is no relating data in the audit log to relate the address changes to a persons name;
What might be a solution? I have tried a few approaches and am at a loss;
Thank you!

Has anyone any experience with the matter.

Can anyone help me audit connections to databases?
My objective is to tidy a poorly maintained set of servers - especially permissions. (Any suggestion what-so-ever, would be welcome)
Specifically I'm now looking to audit who accesses which databases. As a first step I just want to be able to record database open actions.
I think profiler can help.
My aim is a list of NTuser, Server, Database, When
I've tried profiling Event Object:Opened but NOTHING happens.
Other profile events are OK.
So the simple questions are, what makes this event fire or what is the approriate event (or other method) to acheive this objective.
Note I've looking into auditing - but this doesn't provide me with which database is accessed.
I could, I suppose, use Locks acquired

Hi Folks,
Have a scenario where we have to audit all our databases and servers for changes in security accross the servers.
We have a central montioring server where we pull SQL metadata at regular intervals. In this instance we are looking to have before and after snapshots of the SQL system tables.
For the logins this is fine as there is a last updated field in the syslogins table. We can tell when a new user has been added , remmoved or the login has changed ie the login as been added to sysadmin fixed server role... etc Perfect !!!
What Im trying to work out now is how I can do this for object level permsisions. Have looked at sysprotects but no joy. If a user or a role has been granted select or update on a table... How can I tell based on before and after snap shots of the system tables what permissons have changed and whom have they changed for...
Help ......

Hi all,
I would just like to ask whats the best way to make some audit on some of the tables in a MS SQL server, what i'm planning to have is to have a table which can contain all changes/inserts/deletion of some given tables, my first idea was to have this:
AuditTable that have the following fields:
AuditID, TableName, FieldName, OldValue, NewValue, UpdateBy, UpdateDate
then in all the given tables, i'll have insert, update and delete trigger, the issue comes down to the trigger, what will be the best way to have that trigger written in a way that it can be use for other tables as well? say if a table have more then 20 fields, I don't want to declare 20 var and compare them 1 by1, and if there is a diff, then i insert to the audittable, I want something that it can loop and (if possible) be able to use by other table as well, so the field name etc can get from sysobjects, but then how can you code it in a way that it can do that?
Or is there any better way to get the same result? currently i have an audit table for each table i want to audit on and its just wasting space, any help will be great.
Thanks,

Does MSSQL 2000 and above have an auditing feature? We have a requirement for tracking activity and history on a particular table. I realize this can be accomplished by a simple trigger but I was wondering if MSSQL had a feature that would accomplish this.
