I loved the DTS feature that allowed saving DTS package as a VB model. With a bit of coding you could generate a number of packages from one template.
Are there any analogous solutions for SSIS? I cannot find anything.
My goal is simple. I have an ETL step that transfers data from staging dimension table to the corresponding star schema table in the subject matter database. I have two types of packages for SCD type 1 and type 2. Do you have any suggestions on how I can clone packages so that I don€™t have to go manually through each of them to replace certain items such as stored procedure names, etc.
how to clone a database in sqlserver and what are the pre-requisites we need to take care before doing that if it is a production server,,, since we can not bounce the database ...
We need a drive cloning app, like Ghost, that will allow us to transfer a production image off of a HDD to other PCs. The problem with this is that our production needs SQL in order to run and transferring the initial image to uniquely named workstations causes DB registration problems. Is there an app that will allow us to configure this transferred image so that SQL will refer to the "new" drive instead in of the "old"?
Tengo una aplicacion desarrollada en POWERBUILDER y accede a una base de Datos SQL, deseo utilizar la misma aplicacion para acceder a otra base de Datos SQL en el mismo servidor. La segunda Base de Datos tiene que ser inicialmente un clon del original para hacer pruebas con los mismos usuarios. A nivel de la aplicacion puedo solucionar cambiando los parametros de nombre de base de datos, pero como puedo hacer a nivel del servidor?.

In my .NET code, with SQL Server 2000 as the backend, I need to create anexact copy, without data, of an existing table in the same database, thatthe user selects from a combo box. Any ideas on how to do this?
Using SQL Server 2005 Express.I need to periodically duplicate an entire database and rename it. Mosttables are empty but some are to be prepopulated. I was thinking of havinga "template" database called perhaps "EmptyDatabase", and then copy thatinto a freshly created database with a new name.Has anyone coded anything like this?Thanks.GS
How are you all? Im new to this forum as you can probably tell. I have joined up because i need advice in a matter and this seems like the best pace on the net for SQL Server help. Let me outline first what im trying to do;
Im part of a large company of roughly 5000 or so desktops and 3000 or so laptops. We currently have a project under way where we inted to build 50 or so identical laptops that will be used for testing mechanical equipment. Now the team involved have designed there own program that will connect to a main server in Head Office and transfer over the updated SQL server databases on the latop. every couple of days after doing tests, this tests - stored in a SQL DB - will be synced with the server to prevent loss of data.
Now my queston, is it possible to Clone an operating system with the following apps already installed; SQL Server 2005 SQL Server Nature Client SQL Server Setup Files SQL Server Vss Writer
I made an inital clone, but when i went into the user groups, i found SQL server users with a PC name of the inital 'base build' PC. It seems these accounts cannot be copied from one machine to another.
Will the SQL database still run fine, or will there be big problems when copnnecting the the Server in Head Office?
Would it be better to just install the SQL Server components after a new latop has been created?
Anyway any help at all would be great on this matter, cheers!!
I have a DTS package on SQL Server 2000 that loads a table from a text file daily. The text file has 148 distinct fields that are mapped to a corresponding 148 columns on the table. I need to recreate the package to SQL Server 2005. Is there any shortcut to replicating the mapping from DTS to SSIS or do I need to redo from the beginning?
Can any one tell me how and what are the steps to Clone the Database and how do the set of users (lets say 300) will be connected to that Cloned Database.
I've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
I copy a large data table from one database to another every night, but I only want to copy the data since the last time the DTS job ran. I am going to create new job that writes the date of the update to a date table.
I then want the DTS job to compare the invoice date from the datawarehouse table to the last date in the Date table, and only write the data with a newer date.
I know the script if the values were in the same table - but how do I use two different tables?
I need write a code to delete DTS Packages. I'm try using the SQL-NS Objects, but not work's fine. To work first i need execute the package and after delete. Exist another method to do this task??
Can we compile the stored procedures as a package in SQL SERVER as we do it oracle and can anyone tell me how to encrypt the stored procedure so that no one can see the source code.I know with encryption option which doen't show the stored procedures in the syscomments table.
I have created a dts package on a server using the Data transformation services local package interface. I need to move this package to another server running SQL 7 but I cannot figure out how to move this package. I tried the Import/Export wizard but no luck with (license errors). any ideas from anyone? Thanks
I am actually told to move the DTS package from PreProd environment(Server A) to Production (Server B). Once the DTS packages are migrated then I have to email the DTS guid. I am not sure what I should write in the email. LOL
Hi all,I am creating SSIS packages which has flat files as data source and destination is SQLServer2005.I have successfully created packages for around 100 files. In future if the server is changed or/and the same flat file is moved to another location i cannot execute this created packages. I have to redo my work or i have to edit my packages which is a tedious job.Totally i am having around 750 files and each should have corresponding packages. Is there any better way to handle this changes.
Ummm.... else i put it in another way. Is it possible to create a Front end application in which the user gives the Server name,user name,password and the physical location of the flat files and when submitting this, SSIS package has to be created for the flat file which the user has given.
I browsed the net and found a link where they have given a way to create SSIS package using a program. Can anyone explain in detail about this.http://lakshmik.blogspot.com/2005/05/how-to-programmatically-create-ssis.html Thanks in Advance.
Hi, I'm building a portal for supervisors can view their agents errors. We have a team that have been using Access to import data and QC it. I want to get these records into SQL but at the same time, the agents need to import their own work. I've create a DTS package that will import the data into the SQL table from a folder the agents have access to. I tried to create the strored proc to be run from the ASP page however it's not working and I'm having a hard time figuring out why. Here is the procCREATE PROCEDURE DTS AS exec master..xp_cmdshell 'dtsrun /KEMTSQL02 /ADJUSTMENTS /E'GODoes anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be great. Thanks!
i have an application that runs on sql server, that is all working fine on the development environment, and nearly ready for deployment in production.
a large part of this application is based on complex dts packages.
is there a straightforward way to migrate all of these packages AND change all the connections to point to the live box rather than the development box, without painstakingly changing all the connection objects (in around 100 packages!!)?
I am currently running SQL7 sp3 and will be moving the database to SQL2k. I have restored the database without any problems, but have not moved the dts packages. What would be the best solution: script the packages, save the packages to the 2k db, or just build from scratch? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! -J-
I am obviously new to creating DTS packages, and I am trying to create a new package. I looked in BOL for DTS samples and was able to install them from the CD. Now I have several DTS files on my hard drive. How can I open them in SQL Designer, or get them to show up in Enterprsie Manager? Any help would be appreciated. I really need help with DTS Designer basics, but cannot find anything.
