Organizing Business Rules In SSIS
May 30, 2006Hi All,
I'm pretty new to SQL Server 2005 and I'm wondering how to organize my
business rules efficiently.
I'm willing to create a Package with several Data Flow Task in my
Control Flow, each Business Rule will be encapsulated in a Data Flow
task. I guess this is possible in SSIS but I can't find how my data can
be send from one data flow to another one. I definitly don't want my
dataset to be parsed completly for each business rule.
Does anyone have an idea how to implement this in SSIS?
Kind regards,
Sébastien.
Business Rules Integration In SSIS
Jun 6, 2007Similar to the BizTalk Business Rules engine does the SSIS provide any support for independent business rule management?
I would guess that through the use of Embedded CLR we can invoke the Business rules stored in the Business Rules Engine (either Biztalk Rule Engine or ILOG Rule Engine). Is there a construct in the SSIS similar to the BizTalk Call Rules Construct in the Biztalk Orchestration.
If this mechanism is not the preferred mechanism then are there any other mechanisms offered by SSIS which facilitate the use of Business Rule Engine Components within SSIS which make it easier to manage the business rules outside of the deployment.
Thanks
Business Rules -&&> Using Lots Of UDFs && Views
Sep 7, 2007I am in the process of building my first "large scale" database system (after 15+ years of developing Windows Apps and Web Apps) - so I am very VERY "Green" when it comes to Database development & SQL et al.
A little context setting: I am building a multi-tier Statistical Analysis & Reporting system where the "end product" will be Reports created in Reporting Services. There are a ton of business rules that I am implementing in a Business Logic Tier (hidden from the "end user" by a Data Access Tier) comprised of SQL in the form of UDFs (scalar) and Views.
The question: I have been reading that UDFs cause a performance hit compared to things like in-line functions. Alot of the Rules (implemented as Scalar UDFs) build on each other so that the output of UDF #1 is used as input to UDF #2.
So far I am implementing the Business Logic as a hierarchy of Views (7 Views to be exact) with each view implementing multiple Rules; each Rule basically a Scalar UDF. Below is an example of what I am doing:
Example
View #1 -> Select A, B, C, funcX1(A) as ValueX1, funcY1(B, C) as ValueY1 FROM someView
Then
View #2 -> Select A, B, C, ValueX1, ValueY1, funcX2 (ValueX1) as ValueX2, funcY2(ValueY2) as ValueY2 FROM View#1
Currently I have a hierarchy of 7 views that each use UDFs to implement the Business Rules, where the value calculated from a UDF in one View is used as input to UDF in a View further down the Hierarchy.
Is there a better way of implementing all of the Rules instead of using multiple Views with a bunch of UDFs?
The "end product" dataset is then exposed as a Stored Procedure to the reports in Reporting Services.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

SSIS Calling Into BizTalk Business Rules Engine (BTS BRE)
Oct 11, 2007Hi,
We are planning to use the BTS BRE for our business rules and calling these from a data flow transformation (e.g. for every row in a flat file during import). One way would be to use a script component.
However, the question is that the script component would have to create and destroy BRE objects (e.g. a BRE Policy object) for every row in the flat file.
Is there a way to instantiate objects and whole on to them for the lifetime of the package or a container within a package?
Any suggestions regarding achieving the above most efficiently would be much appreciated.

Synchronization Of Business Contacts In Outlook With Small Business Accounting
Jun 10, 2006Can anyone take me through synchronization of contacts within Business Contacts Outlook into Microsoft Small Business Accounts?
I run a stand alone PC with NO network. When SBA came SQL was also installed. Apparently you can synchronise Contacts within Business Contacts with SBA but both SBA & Outlook should work through the same SQL server.
Has anyone tried this?
Can someone walk me through the process?

SSIS SCD Type I, Dim Table Compound Key Selection For Business Key
Apr 28, 2006Hai,
I have been working in DW for a while, but using SSIS as an ETL tool is new for me. I worked extensively on Informatica.
Coming to my question, right now I am trying to do SCD type 1. But my dimension table has a compound key. i.e more than 1 column makes a key for the table. But SCD wizard allows to select only 1 attribute as a business key. Does any one have any suggestions on how to implement SCD if the target table has compound key.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and answers.

SQL Server 2012 :: Add Business Days To A Date Using Calendar Table
May 12, 2015I have a date that I need to add 'n' number of business days to. I have a calendar table that has a 'IsBusinessDay' flag, so it would be good if I was able to use this to get what I need. I've tried to use the 'LEAD' function in the following way;
SELECT A. Date, B.DatePlus3BusinessDays
FROM TableA A
LEFT JOIN (Select DateKey, LEAD(DateKey,3) OVER (ORDER BY datekey) AS DatePlus3BusinessDays FROM Calendar WHERE IsBusinessDay = 1) B ON A.DateKey = B.DateKey
Problem with this is that because I am filtering the Calendar for business days only, when there is a date that is not a business day in TableA, a NULL is being returned.
Is there any way to do a conditional LEAD, so it skips rows that are not business days? Or do I have do go with a completely different approach?

MySAP Business Suite ERROR: Table Class INTTAB Is Not Supported.
Sep 13, 2007Hi there,
we collect data from SAP via the Data Provider for MySAP Business Suite.
Everything works fine for Standard objects like KNA1 etc. but if we try to read data from a custom table we get the following error:
Code Snippet
Fehler bei Get ZZEUSGRP_WA [SAP ZZEUSGRP_WA [1]]: Microsoft.Adapter.SAP.SAPManagedProviderException: Table class INTTAB is not supported.
bei Microsoft.Adapter.SAP.SAPSelectHandler.CheckResult(SAPTable returnTab)

The error message tells me not to use a specific table type. So far so good.
The question is: What would be the workaround? What should I tell the SAP team who cares for the data structures?
Thank you for your advice in advance

Transact SQL :: Calc Work Date Using Business Days Field In Calendar Table
May 19, 2014I created a dbo.Calendar table that stores dates and a work day flag (1=work day, 0=non-work day) so I can use it to calculate the next business date from a date using a function. I'm using a while group to count only the work days and a couple other internal variables but I'm not sure if I can even use them in a function.
Assuming Sats & Suns are all non-work days in April 2014, if my @WorkDays = 10 for 10 work days and my @DateFromValue - 4/1/2014, I would expect my return date to be 4/15/2014.

Is there a way to create a rule specific to a user such that he can only SELECT from a table where a field equals a specific value.
In other words user Joe types in: SELECT * FROM SALES_BY_LOCATION. Because Joe's territory is Los Angeles, I want a rule that only retrieves sales data from Los Angeles.
Do You Like To Break The Rules ?
Oct 6, 2004Not long ago I accountered this situation: I had two databases on "MS SQL Server". In one of the databases there was a nomenclature with very large primary key.
I had to transport that nomenclature and transform the wide PK into single identity column into the other database.
I decided to use a function for that transformation. BUT that function had to mark somewhere which combination of the PK columns is relative to which identity value. BUT functions CAN'T WRITE under MSSQL.
So I took the challenge and mine all sources of information. The result was a function "Exec4Fun" that breaks the rule.
I suppose that with this function it's possible to avoid the restriction for triggers, which prevents writing in the triggering table? (not tested yet)
If someone needs such tools, just write back your e-mail and I'll send some code.
All the best and have fun :)

Do I can to build a association rules structure without the use of the nested tables?
I tried - did not turn out...
2) As it is necessary to use a main and child table, can not build a prediction query.
When I try to add the predict column in a criteria/argument (Field=PredictSupport), i'll given message:
"Nested table column cannot be used as an argument in a data mining function."
I can not use other columns, because they are not predicable.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAssociation Rules: Discretization
Aug 8, 2007Hi there,
it has been a long i'm trying to execute Microsoft Association Rules on my database.
I solved memory leak problem now, but i still can't understand output rules.
Database contain all the italian student who took a degree last year. Here in Italy, they have to compile a summary where they speak about universitary experience. ie: they talk about experience with teachers (pointage from 1 to 5); they says if they want to continue in the universitary field or not, and so on.
Most of the rules, says:
Int_Stud=1-2, RapDoc>4
Int_Stud is the column where i store student intention to continue university. 1 means they want to go on, 2 means they do not want to continue to study. So, this rules has no sense, because it relates all the student (in my mind): the one who wants to continue university and the one who do not want to.
I think problem is that visual studio 2005 and analysis service has no understanding of Int_Stud world, they've no idea that Int_Stud can have just 2 values and that they're opposite each other. Is there a solution to this problem? Can i discretize this column?
Even if I know not to have perfect english, I hope to be understandable

The rule muffin -> donut has an importance of -0.105302438, which is not the same as Mr. MacLennan's results. I tried switching the roles of a and b in a -> b and using different bases on the logarithms. I don't get the result of -0.105302438 with any of these. I also tried to calculate importance with a small data set I have and can't get the results using Mr. MacLennan's explanation with that data set either. Any thoughts on the descrepancy?

A Question About Association Rules
Jul 17, 2007Hi
I am doing the Market basket analysis for a retailer using association rule. The whole data set is huge which contains grocery, clothes and books etc. If I want to check out the relationship between several different clothes brands, (e.g. LEVI'S and adidas), should I just remove all the grocery and books transactions, use the subset which only contains clothes transactions to re-run the association rules? Is this gonna work?
Thanks in advance!

Is there any way to influence the model at generating time.
Thanks a lot.
Hi,
I specified the point to solve my problem but I did not understand why MS SQL Server didn't recognize the Association parameters I but in. It uses the Minimum_Probability I put in, but the Minimum_Importance i wrote didn't care it, it use the default value.
I want to paste a screenshot here but it isn't possible. By the way I'm using the evaluation version, which should be same as the enterprise edition.

My question is: the set of scenarios must include all transactions of customers for training?. or is it sufficient some percentage of total transactions?
