BIDS/Project Queestion/best Practices
Mar 26, 2008
I am new to SQL 2005/SSIS and Bids. I have sucessfully imported an old DTS package modified it to no longer use the DTS (fully SSIS) and created a build /sent it back to MSDB. Now I have a couple questions. What do most people do with projects after they are promoted. I see it remains out there in your project list and under my documents folder. Do you delete them or do you keep them for history, or do you re-use them in future.
Let me give you our environment might help you give me suggestions on what might be best for our situation. We have just one server for a data warehouse(no development server) Development db will most likely be on proudciton server with just a different name.
We use DTS/wil now be SSIS to import info to db on a daily basis once a day. And we have scheduled jobs that run these SSIS packages.
IS there any info out there on good practices for BIDS and promoting etc?

Hi all,Am looking for some guidance/advice in terms of best practices fordeploying a MS BI project.We have a relatively large BI system that we need to deploy betweenDEV/QA/UAT/PROD and want a simple way to manage this deployment betweenenvironments. The system consists of:SQL Server 2005 Catabases, tables, views, sprocs, security scripts,etc.SQL Server 2005 AS CubesSQL Server 2005 Reporting Services reportsSQL Server 2005 IS PackagesBusiness Scorecard Manager stuffetc.What tools/technologies would best suit this type of deployment with somany moving parts? Right now the database portion of the install is allautomated with command files that call sqlcmd to run each script,object. But to deploy all the other stuff, we have our build guyactually opening Visual Studio and deploying from within there. We knowhow to use config files for the IS packages.Appreciate your thoughts/feedback on this.JD

Hi,
I have been working on an SSIS project for sometime now. The project files are located on a remote server. Suddenly I am not able to open the solution I get a lot of error messages and all the data flow taks are gone. I later found out that SSIS encrypts packages, so that other users will not be able to see them. Fine, but I have been using the same windows user account for months now. What could be the problem?
This is what I get when trying to open the solution:
There were errors while the package was being loaded.
The package might be corrupted.
See the Error List for details.
And the error list also contains messages saying "Could not load from xml".
Any pointers will be much appreciated.
TIA

Could this be a vista issue or do i just need to install a patch or something simple like that?

SQL 2012 - Convert BIDS project and DTUTIL cannot load the package I just converted a really simple 2008 BIDS project to 2012 and 2012 dtutil will not load it. Tried 32 bit and 64 bit dtutil. Â
Get the following error message.
'count not load package "c: empSSISPackage.dtsx" because of error 0x80131534. Description: the package failed to load due to error 0x80131534 "<null>". This occurs when CPackage::LoadfromXML fails.
I can Import the package in SQL Manager, and I can deploy it using the manifest and the deployment wizard. But DTUTIL chokes on it. It is the dtsx right from 2012 Bids build.

Hi Im using project real framework and have BIDS installed on same server as SQL Server 2005, when I run from BIDs all
good when I run from SQL Server agent via File system --the first package that master package calls fails
I have double checked the environment variables in Project Real and all good because otherwise BIDs would have failed
and of course in each package the expression data uses @[User::RootDir] to point to the package file path
@[User::RootDir] + \LoadGroup_Dimensions_Daily.dtsx
the issue is the package under SQL Agent is ignoring @[User::RootDir] + \ and finding an old package path somewhere in Bids SLN metadata
Any clues how can refresh the metadata of the package for deployment
thanks in advance

For some reason in a Team Foundation Team Project that has multiple project types (SSRS, SSIS, WebSite, C# Business DLL...), the SSIS project makes itself the startup project to the team project. If I explicitly set another project as the startup project to the team project and then select an SSIS package in the SSIS project in the team project, the SSIS project becomes the startup project automatically.
I am using Visual Studio 2005 SP1.

Hi,
I have been working on some SSIS packages for a while now and today while i was working i was trying to create a new connection and in the process there was an error and it said the BIDS has to be closed and i closed it but later when i open BIDS and try to open my project(.sln) from the file menu to work on the half done package it pops up an error which shows the path to my project location on the first line and next statement on the pop up error box says:
"Make Sure the application for the project type (.dtproj) is installed."
I tried to check some forums in which some suggested to try installing SP1 which i tried but ..i dont know why but the SP1 fails to install (i dont know if its causing problem becoz i already installed SP2 as i had some other problem before for which the cure was to install SP2).
Did anyone here face such a problem before ?
I'd really appreciate if the experts here can tell a cure for this problem.
thanks,
Ravi

I have a Visual Studio 2005 solution which contains a Sql Server Integration Services (SSIS) project.
In this solution I have explicitly set a Web application project as startup project, but whenever I edit a DTS package within the SSIS project, VS automatically sets the SSIS project as startup project and the package I edit as startup object.
Needless to say, this may cause some really unwanted incidents when running the solution - thinking that you're about to run the Web application project (that was explicitly set as startup project), but instead, you run the edited package in the SSIS project.
Is there any way to avoid having the SSIS project automatically setting itself as startup project, any workaround here at all? :)
Thanks.

I have a very small project written in VB.Net 2005 using the SQL Server 2005 SSiS DTSx package.
I took a SQL Server 2000 dts package and using the SQL Server 3005 legacy tools migrated it so I could still use the package withing SQL 2005 until I can build one using BI/SSIS.
Anyway,I added the reference Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS so I could then use the Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime so I can execute the commands:
Dim oApp As New Application
Dim oPkg As New Package
oPkg = oApp.LoadPackage(g_DTSx_Directory & "AOC copy Generic1 CSV to AOC_verify_file_1.dtsx", Nothing)
Dim oResults As DTSExecResult
oResults = oPkg.Execute
Ok. That works fine. Executes without a hitch. So now I try and create a setup project for this and I use the setup wizard.
During the creation of the setup project I get a message that states:
The following files may have dependencies that cannot be determined automatically. Please confirm that all dependencies have been added to the project.
C:windowssystem32msxml6.dll
OK. The dll is part of the reference I mentioned above and I have no idea what other dependencies it may have.
How do I find this out?
Has anyone else created a project like this and experenced the same?
I am on a clean build running WinXP Pro with SP2 - VS2005 with SP1 and the SQL Server 2005 tools.

I've got an SSIS solution file with project deployment model in VS 2013 and would like to deploy that to SSISDB on different environments.All these days I followed the regular way to create a project in SSISDB and deploy it to that. Now want to find out if i can automate this process and so got some questionsÂ
1. Can we automate the process of creating a project on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name? This will be like when we do a deployment it should check if the project exists or not on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name, if the project exists we just deploy the packages in the project and if the project does not exists in SSISDB it will create that project and deploy the packages.
2. Can we also automate the process of creating environments? In traditional way we manually create the environment variables under environment tab of SSISDB, but can we make that also as part of deployment? Like when we are releasing to Dev server we look if that particular Dev variable exists on that server, if it exists we just update the existing stuff and if it does not exists we just create it.

Howdy again...
Do I need to re-create a new package from scratch after doing what I did?
It seems I've made what is probably a typical newbie mistake: I used COPY/PASTE
to
consolidate containers from two packages into a single new project/package.
Now my new package generates multiple duplicate errors (23 of each...) whenever I open it:
Warning loading LoadBillingData.dtsx: Process configuration failed to set the
destination at the package path of "PackageData Flow Task to Load
Profiles, Versions, and
Transactions.EventHandlers[OnError].Variables[System::Propagate].Properties[Namespace]".
This occurs when attempting to set the destination property or variable fails.
Check the destination property or variable.
Error loading LoadBillingData.dtsx: Changing the name of a variable failed
because it is a system variable. System variables are read-only.
What happened:
new guy (goes without saying...) creates:
01. PROJECT A
02. add PACKAGE
A to PROJECT A
03. add some
containers, figger out what the heck is going on, get containers working
04. create
PROJECT B
05. create
PACKAGE B
06. add
containers, they work fine
07. whoops!
Want to consolidate the packages. Unix guy naively expects Bill has made MS
Visual Studio like all windows products (of which newbie is aware€¦):
08. create
PROJECT C
09. create
PACKAGE C
10. <ctrl
a> PACKAGE A
11. <crtl
c> PACKAGE A
12. <ctrl
v> PACKAGE C
13. <ctrl
a> PACKAGE B
14. <crtl
c> PACKAGE B
15. <ctrl
v> PACKAGE C
16. copy Flat
File Connection Managers
17. copy
Database Connection Manager
18. drag the
arrows around, fix the flat file sources, renew the column maps, etc
19. whoops! the
connections all look like a registry number! Fix the OLE DB Destinations,
Execute SQL Task containers by selecting the DB Connection Manager copied from
PROJECT A
20. successfully
execute PROJECT C/PACKAGE C
21. save all
22. exit
23. start MS
Visual Studio
24. Open
Solution
25. ERRORS!!!
Is this fixable?
Thanks,
Bill

Hello,
I've created a Report Model Project that can be used by Report Builder to generate ad-hoc reports. I'm trying to create a connection string in my Report Server Project that points to the Report Model Project data source view.
All I can do is create a regular datasource, which bypasses the metadata contained in the Data Source View.
Basically I want my Report Server Project and my Report Builder reports to leverage the same metadata. Is this possible? If so how do I get the connection string?
Thanks!!

Hi everyone,
I wonder if somebody here could recommend a good article about MS Service Broker. I'm looking for some advice and tips in designing applications using SQL Service Broker, mainly QN. For instance, maintenance routines and common faulty scenarios I might find later when my solution is implemented. I have googled for a while but all I can find are recopied examples of QN.
Thanks

Hi I use data presentation controls like gridview, formsview in my application. In many of the webforms i also use multiple datasources mainly for the purpose of 2 way data binding for controls within data presentation controls.I am concerned about the performance issues this might cause as users using these pages increase.What is the likely performance impact ?Once the databind is done and values are populated in the respective controls, does the database connection of datasource control get closed, or is it open?What are the best practices while implementing datasource controls?

I am looking for some examples of how to manage DDL scripts amongvarious versions of a production db and development and testing. Ihave tried a few things in the past, and it always gets very muddledand cumbersome.I need to be able to build any version of the database from scratch,BUT I also need to maintain an upgrade path from any version to anylater version. So it is not enough to just maintain a master buildscript, but I don't want to maintain 2 different things (modify themaster build scripts AND create a new "ALTER" script for each versionchange).I thought I had seen an article somewhere that layed out a process formanaging this, but I can't find it now (I thought it was in SQL ServerMag). Does anybody know of this article or have a resource they couldpoint me to that outlines best practices in this area?Thanks,Jason Wood, DBA in training.

Hi All,My question is what are the best practices for administering largeDBs. (My coworker is the DB administrator. I'm more of thedeveloper. But slowly being sucked in.) My main concern is that wehave some DBs that take approx 3 hrs a night just to rebuild theindexes. I know that with MSSQL 2000, I can use partitioned views tobreak out the table(s) into smaller databases and tables. But we alsohave an older server that runs MSSQL 7. Lastly how do you handledrive space issues? Do you spread out the DB across multiple MDFfiles on different drives? Thanks in advance.

Please forgive me if I have overlooked a thread that answers this question, but I assure you that I have looked.
I would really appreciate a guide of sorts that would tell me the correct steps to take to properly secure a column in my database. I don't need specifics on how to do each step, I either have those already or can find them myself. In fact, I have already successfully encrypted and decrypted some data. I just want to make sure that I create the right keys and certificates and that I follow best-practices as far as backups and stuff is concerned.
Thanks,
Todd Sparks

Environment is SQL Server 2005 x64 Enterprise running under Windows Server 2003 x64 Enterprise with four processors and 16GB of ram.
I have 28 data copy routines I would like to add to a SSIS package. They use the Data Reader Source to an ODBC database (InterSystems Cache) and copy the table contents to a SQL2005 database for reporting needs. The data rows in these 28 routines range from only 100 rows to over 6 million rows depending on the table. I have tested these individually and they work fine. My question is, is it a good practice to have all of these routines in a single package or can I expect performance degragation?

I've got a table that has frequent updates to it. I want 100% change tracking on this table though, so we can rollback to any previous version, or just see any changes people make.
Is there a best practice for things like this? Currently, I'm using a trigger on UPDATE to take the previous values and store them in a history table. This keeps track of who changes what, and when. Plus the most recent data is seperate and more performant to access.
I've also heard about putting an 'IsActive' flag on the main table and any changes that are made just get marked as In-Active and a new record gets added.
Any input?
Thanks!

I am new to SSIS, but done alot of DTS 2000 development.
What is the concensus for developing SSIS packages? Do you just place objects and change the properties of each object, having multiple objects basically doing the same thing, with different properties? Or do you set object's properties and then change properties by code in scripts? Ie Execute SQL, setting connections and SQL Statement by code in a script? Is this even possible? With Microsoft OOP I assume this is possible.
Script> Set properties of ExecuteSQL > set flow to ExecuteSQL.
Thanks!

Is this this only way to do it in SSIS?
http://sqljunkies.com/WebLog/ashvinis/archive/2005/06/15/15829.aspx
For some reason I figured that SSIS would have this kind of stuff built into it, it seems a function that many would use.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone knows what would be the best case scenario for the property 'maxinsertcommitsize' for the sql destination task if I want to load 6m records into a target. Is the best setting 0 (try loading all in one batch) or should I choose a different value for example 1000000 per batch?
