BIDS Crashes After Opening A Data Flow
Mar 11, 2008
I have a package with numerous data flows in it. (I know - this is not recommended as a best practice.) Anyway, one of the Data Flows just started giving me some trouble. When I opened that particular Data Flow, then BIDS would crash. I tried loading the project again, and opening that Data Flow task, and it just kept crashing. I rebooted - same deal.
The Data Flow was itself very simple. There was an OLE DB Source, and OLE DB Destination, a conditional split, a derived column, a data conversion and a Lookup. Pretty routine stuff. Out of the blue really, and long after I created it - it just starting crashing BIDS when I opened it.
My solution was to copy the Data Flow control flow component and paste it back into the same package. This worked perfectly fine, and didn't see any issues after. So, apparently something in the meta data became corrupt, and caused it to crash.
Anyway, just curious if others have seen this behavior, but also wanted to post this as a solution in case someone else has the same problem.

I used an evaluation version till last week.
Was working fine so I decided to buy a Standard License.
Installed during the weekend, I had many problems till I decided to reinstall completely Windows. I have installed SP1
Everything worked fine then, ONLY not one of my SSIS packages still works; I get following error when editing the data flow task
The thread 'Win32 Thread' (0x7e8) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
Unhandled exception at 0x54fc5e89 in devenv.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.
Please help, this is a disaster otherwise

Hey all, is there any explanation why just opening a data flow task causes a VSS check out?
The issue with this is that I have multiple developers, and when one wants to look at a data flow task in a package already checked out, it generates multiple VS errors.
Not big on the priority list, (not as big as the modal dialog issue) but still a pain.
Thanks!

I am facing a serious issue is BIDS.
I have configured a Un-Pivot transform, source to unpivot is sort, when I change the source to derived column (one column name is same for both) and try to open Unpivot it gives me unreferenced lineage id (this is correct). Now When I select Delete Unreferenced Lineage Column and select Apply , it works till here. As soon as I select OK, BIDS crashes and closes.

We're experiencing a problem where intermittently our SSIS packages will hang. There are no log errors or events in the event viewer. It will happen whether the package is executed from the SQL Job Agent or run from BIDs. When running from BIDs it appears to hang inside one of the data flows (several parallel pipes with sorts, merge joins etc...). It appears to hang in multiple pipes within the data flow component. The problem is reproducable, we just kill it and re-run, and it appears to hang in the same places.
Now here's the odd thing: as we simply open and close some of the components in the pipe line after the place it hangs, a subsequent run will go further in the pipeline before hanging. If we open and close all the components after the point it initially hung, the data flow will run fine, from there on out. When I say "open and close" I mean no changes are made, we simply double-click the component, like a merge join, then click 'close.'
To me this does not seem like a memory problem but likely something is wrong with the metadata, where opening a component and closing it somehow alters the metadata to "right it".
This seems to occur intermittently after we make modifications to the package. It's like if you make any mod, even unrelated to the data flow, you then have to go through and open and close every component in your package to ensure it will work. Again, no errors or warnings are fired.
Has anyone seen this type of problem?

Hi,
I'm writing an application with Visual Studio 2005 (Visual Basic .NET 2.0) which uses a SQL Compact Edition 3.5 database. On my HTC Touch with Windows Mobile 6.1 installed the application crashes, without any error message, if I try to open a connection. But...On the Windows Mobile 6 Pro emulator the connection opens normaly. The whole application runs perfect.
On both "devices" are the same dll's, of version 3.5.0.0.
I'm using the following code to open the connection:
Code Snippet
Private mySQLce_strConnection As String = "Data Source ='" & App_Path() & "MControl_SQLce.sdf" & "';"
Dim localConnection As New SqlCeConnection(mySQLce_strConnection)
localConnection.Open()
I tried so many things but without any success. But...I'm able to open the database (MControl_SQLce.sdf) with the Query Analyzer 3.5 on the Mobile. No problem.
This is my configuration:
Dev PC:
Windows XP SP2
Visual Studio 2005 Pro
.NET Framework 2.0 SP1
.NET Compact Framework 2.0
SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 (this version I reference to in my VS project)
Mobile Device (HTC Touch):
Windows Mobile 6.1
SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5
Any suggestions? I can't figure this out.

BIDS hangs when I open any SSIS packages. "Microsoft Visual Studio Is Busy" message displays in the system tray. It indicates that Microsoft Visual Studio is waiting for an internal operation to complete; however, it never seems to complete. I have recycled the server hoping to break it loose, however nothing seems to free it up. I have not had this situation before and I cannot figure out why it is having problems. BIDS shows it is "Validating Data Flow Task". Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Would it be a true statement that whenever you use BIDS to alter a SSIS package the source has to be available because verification and validation is always done on the source and destination? If the source were not available could that cause the hang in BIDS???

Hello again!
Once again I got stuck with a weird problem and I´m dependent on you.
I built a Data Flow task in which I did an OLE-DB Source Adapter with a SQL-Query as Source.
The Query goes on a Linked Server which connects to a Informix Table via ODBC. When I enter the Query and klick "OK" or try to go on the "Columns"-Tab, the BIDS freezes completely and the "Delay Notification Message" appears in the System Tray. When I check the Activity Monitor of my SQL Server, there´s a process marked as "Runnable" (green) which contains the Query
"select collationname(0x0904D00034)"
This one is oviously run by Visual Studio and doesen´t execute properly. I waited for an hour or so, but nothing changes. I´m running SQL Server 2005 SP2 (9.00.3042)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!

Hi All,
I am not able to open the package in BIDS. When I open the package I am seeing only the XML. Below I had given what I have done.
First I have installed Visual studio 2008 Professional and next I installed SQL Server 2005 with Integration services, database services, workflow components.
I am able to see the BIDS in Start --> All Programes --> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 --> "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio"
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

I'm currently experiencing major problems with SSIS when opening and editing large .DTSX package files that contain Exec DTS 2000 Tasks which have the package data loaded internally. I have no issues if I point the task to a .DTS file, or to an actual DTS package on a SQL 2000 server - but if I load the package internally then once the underlying .DTSX file gets over around 17MB or so in size (which doesnt take long making a few edits to even fairly simple packages now and then), I start to experience major issues with VS/BIDS 2005 crashing randomly when I try to perform any action with the package (open, save etc). Things like OutOfMemory exception errors, followed by the properties of Exec DTS 2000 task being deleted, and also sometimes accompanied by messages about the application not being installed properly.
Again its ONLY when the underlying .DTSX file reaches a certain size limit, and only when I've got an Exec DTS 2000 task with the package loaded internally. I've replicated the issue using several different package files on several different machines (even on servers with lots of memory, fwiw).
Can anyone out there help me with this? SSIS - namely SSIS Exec DTS 2000 package tasks - are our lifeblood at my company and this trend of random and serious crashing on large package files is very disturbing to say the least.
thanks,
Wil

Hi, All,
I need to pass a parameter from control flow to data flow. The data flow will use this parameter to get data from a Oracle source.
I have an Execute SQL task in control flow to assign value to the Parameter, next step is a data flow which will need take a parameter in the SQL statement to query the Oracle source,
The SQL Looks like this:
select * from ccst_acctsys_account
where to_char(LAST_MODIFIED_DATE, 'YYYYMMDD') >?
THe problem is the OLE DB source Edit doesn€™t have anything for mapping parameter.
Thanks in Advance

I have an Execute SQL Task that returns a Full Rowset from a SQL Server table and assigns it to a variable objRecs. I connect that to a foreach container with an ADO enumerator using objRecs variable and Rows in first table mode. I defined variables and mapped them to the columns.
I tested this by placing a Script task inside the foreach container and displaying the variables in a messagebox.
Now, for each row, I want to write a record to an MS Access table and then update a column back in the original SQL Server table where I retreived data in the Execute SQL task (i have the primary key). If I drop a Data Flow Task inside my foreach container, how do I pass the variables as input to an OLE DB Destination on the Data Flow?
Also, how would I update the original source table where source.id = objRects.id?
Thank you for your assistance. I have spent the day trying to figure this out (and thought it would be simple), but I am just not getting SSIS. Sorry if this has been covered.
Thanks,
Steve

Dear All!
My package has a Data Flow Task. In Data Flow Task, I use a Script Component and a OLE BD Destination to transform data from txt file to database.
Within Data Flow Task, I want to call File System Task to move file to a folder or any Task of "Control Flow" Tab. So, Does SSIS support this task? Please show me if any
Thanks

How to move information allocated in SSIS variables from Data Flow to Control Flow layers??
We've got a SSIS package which load a value into a variable inside a Data Flow. Going back to Control Flow how could we retrive that value again????
Thanks in advance and regards,

I'm currently setting variables at the package level with an ExecuteSQL task. This works fine. However, I'm now starting to think about restartability midway through a package. It would be nice to have the variable(s) needed in a data flow set within the data flow so that I only have to restart that task.
Is there a way to do that using an SQL statement as the source of the value in a data flow?
OR, when using checkpoints will it save variable settings so that they are available when the package is restarted? This would make my issue a moot point.

Hi,
I'm trying to implement an incremental data pull (Oracle to SQL) based on Andy's blog:
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andy_leonard/archive/2007/07/09/ssis-design-pattern-incremental-loads.aspx
My development machine is decent: 1.86 GHz, Intel core 2 CPU, 3 GB of RAM.
However it seems the data flow task gets hung whenever I test the package against the ~6 million row source, as can be seen from these screenshots. I have no memory limitations on the lookup transformation. After the rows have been cached nothing happens. Memory for the dtsdebug process hovers around 1.8 GB and it uses 1-6 percent of CPU resources continuously. I am not using fast load to insert new records into my sql target table. (I am right clicking Sequence Container 3 and executing this container NOT the entire package in the screenshots)

The same package works fine against a similar test table with 150k rows.
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/7.jpg
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/8.jpg
The weird thing is it only takes 24 minutes for a full refresh of the entire source table from Oracle to the SQL target table.
Any hints,advice would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I'm stuck here when I try to open an existing package which contains several data flows, SSIS tries to validate each data flow and after a while a Visual Studio error message pops up and I can't do anything.
The error message says : "Unable to cast COM object of type 'System._ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper.IDTSObject90'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on Com component for the interface with IID '...GUID...' failed due to the following error : The application called an interface that was marshalled for a different thread. (Exception from HResult: RPC_E_WRONG_THREAD)"
Did anyone has seen this error message ?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi all,
I am using SSAS 2005. The mining model works fine. But it crashes when I run the 'Mining Model Predictions' against large data sets.
I ran it against 5,000,000 records and it went fine.
But exactly same model failed for 5,100,000 records and beyound.
The message is 'Query Execution Failed' and then Visual Studio crashes.
Pl. let me know if anybody has the same experience or knows the solution.
Thanks,

Hi, all here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

Good morning, all,
I am working on importing an Excel workbook, saved as multiple CSV flat files, that has both group level data and related detail row on the same sheet. I have been able to import the group data into a table. As part of the Data Flow task, I want to be able to save the key value for the group, which I will use when I insert the detail rows.
My Data Flow has the following components: The flat file with the data, which goes to a derived column transformation to strip out extraneous dashes, which leads to the OLEDB Destination component.
I want to save the value as a package level variable, so that I can reference it in another dataflow.
Is this possible, and if so, at what point do I save the value?
Thanks,
Kathryn

Does anybody know what this means? I have a SQL source (OLEDB) going to a script transformation as a destination:[DTS.Pipeline] Warning: Component "Add Schemas" (32) has been removed from the Data Flow task because its output is not used and its inputs have no side effects. If the component is required, then the HasSideEffects property on at least one of its inputs should be set to true, or its output should be connected to something.Add Schemas is the script transformation destination. I can't find a HasSideEffects property, and have no idea why this would be a problem.

Hello,
I have noticed that for one of my data-flows, the process is really long during the phase "the final commit data insertion has started".
To be accurate, the process is fast until it reaches this phase. It happens often when I load millions of lines.
The extraction is done from a database SQL Server 2005 to a database SQL Server 2005, on the same server (with the SQL Server native provider).
I used a SQL Server destination but I have tried with an OLE DB destination and it is the same situation.
Why the process could be so long during this phase?
There is a way to optimised my package to avoid that?
Any idea is welcome.
Thanks.
Guillaume

Hi All,
I want to export data from SQL Server2005 to an Excel spreadsheet thru "Data Flow Task". I am using OLE DB for SQL Server for the source connection and a Connection To Excel as my destination source. The Excel spreadsheet (2003) exists and has the first row with column names. I don't have any warnings before trying to execute.
The SQL datable fileds are
i) ID - Int
ii) RefID
iii) txtRemarks - nvarchar(MAX)
iv) ddlWaterLevel - nvarchar(50)
While executing the tasks, I got the error
Error: 0xC0202025 at Data Flow Task, Excel Destination [427]: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
Error: 0xC004701A at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: component "Excel Destination" (427) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
After analysing I found in the DataFlow --> Excel destination --> Advanced Editor for Excel Destination, the default data type for txtRemarks shows as "Unicode string [DT_WSTR]". But this is supposed to be "Unicode text stream [DT_NTEXT]". Even if I change the data type in the design time, It doesn't accept.
Please do help me out.
thanks

I am getting the following error running a data flow that splits the input data into multiple streams and writes the results of each stream to the same destination table:
"This operation conflicts with another pending operation on this transaction. The operation failed."
The flow starts with a single source table with one row per student and multiple scores for that student. It does a few lookups and then splits the stream (using Multicast) in several layers, ultimately generating 25 destinations (one for each score to be recorded), all going to the same table (like a fact table). This all is running under a transaction at the package level, which is distributed to a separate machine.
Apparently, I cannot have all of these streams inserting data into the same table at one time. I don't understand why not. In an OLTP system, many transactions are inserting records into the same table at once. Why can't I do that within the same transaction?
I suppose I can use a UnionAll to join them back together before writing to a single destination, but that seems like an unnecessary waste and clutters the flow. Can anyone offer a different solution or a reason why this fails in the first place?
Thanks in advance.
