Can't Execute Package From BIDS Solution Explorer Post SP2 Install
Feb 20, 2007
Yesterday, SQL Server 2005 SP2 was installed on our DEV Server (Windows 2003 SP1 x86) and now I cannot right-click a package in the Solutions Explorer window in BIDS and Execute Package. When I do, I get the following error
===================================
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Microsoft Visual Studio)
------------------------------
Program Location:
at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Project.DtsPackagesFolderProjectFeature.ExecuteTaskOrPackage(ProjectItem prjItem, String taskPath)
I know I could do this yesterday morning pre SP2. I've attempted this with a couple of different packages and solutions, so it is probably not a corrupt package (unless now they are all corrupt). I can execute in debug mode if I open the package first and then hit Start Debugging. However this is not always an optimal solution because I sometimes have many connected packages and sometimes what gets executed is not what is expected.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Pre-SP2, log events that bubbled up from child packages used to be prepended with "User:" (as documented in KB906563). It appears that this behaviour has changed in SP2, and only the Diagnostic event gets prepended with "User:". When I debug a custom log provider, the event names are now clearly not prepended on any other event type.
Is this a bug, or a breaking feature? Can anyone suggest a way to identify events that bubble up from child packages under SP2, now that this has changed?

I am a Visual Studio .net developer and understand Solutions and Projects in VS.net. Nevertheless, it appears that the paradigm of using Solutions Explorer in SQL Server is not exactly the same. That is, in Visual Studio you can't get anything done without creating a solution first. In SQL Server, it is entirely possible to get a lot done without a solution and the ability to create and make use of a solution seems almost an after thought or an add-on.
I am particularly interested in using a solution in SQL Server to allow me to make use of SourceSafe. In the past, we jumped through all kinds of hoops to keep a running trail of changes we had made to (for example) stored procedures. It appears now that this can be managed more efficiently with the use of a Solution and SourceSafe and saving scripts or .sql files. I guess it is not possible to save a pristine copy of a stored procedure directly in SourceSafe, but you can save the code that makes up the stored procedure as a .SQL file which I suppose is about as good.
Anyway, what I would like to know is whether there is a good white paper (or chapter in a book) on the philosophy behind Solutions and projects in SQL Server and how MS intends us to use them; perhaps something other than the cold facts from the documentation. I would appreciate something more that gives me the big picture on just how MS sees them being used in SQL Server so I can get the most out of them. I have the feeling that if I "get the vision", they are meant to be an integral part of SQL Server now and in the future.

Hi..
Isnīt it possible to create sub folders in the solution explorer??
I have it hard time to create a decent structure inside the SSIS Package folder, since I have like 30 packages in my project. Is it just me being silly or cannot this be done?
Have a nice day

Hello,
When you create a Reporting Services project it by default creates two folders: Shared Data Sources & Reports. When I right click on the Reports folder in solution explorer in Visual Studio 2005 there is no option to add subfolders, I am simply left with handful of options adding report files. Is there a way to add subfolders to the Reports folder? I am going to be migrating over 40-50+ reports and it would be helpful to organize them into their own folders.
Thanks,
Flea

I would like to understand how to setup modify and delete the attributes that affect the actions of the Deploy menu. How to set different settings so that I can deploy to a test server ad then later change it so that I can deploy to a production server.
All help is welcome.

I've submitted a bug report for this, but I also want to be sure it's not my own installation.
In the solution explorer, when I drag a package (usually accidentally) to another spot in the list, it disappears from the list. If I try to re-add the package, it thinks the original already exists, and names the second one with a "(1)" suffix. I can work around this by moving the original package out of the primary package folder and then re-adding it through solution explorer, but that's a touch cumbersome.
I don't really have a question here other than perhaps validation of the issue. Thanks.
Here's the bug report if others experience the same issue:

Hi
I have installed a single instance of SQLserver2005Express on a stand alone PC running WinXP Pro.
Do you always have to be logged in as a Windows [XP] administrator to work with SQL Server databases? Because when I'm not it SQLserver Management Studio won't allow me to open any database.
Also, do all databases have to be in the default data folder location [in my case this is: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData]? Because if I try and navigate to other databases I have in other locations using Management Studio they are not visible.
Any help gratefully accepted...newtWales.

Today I attempted to install SQL Reporting Services on a box that only has the OLE DB driver for Analysis Services and the MSXML components; both of which are SP2.
When running the SQL Server 2005 install to install SSRS, I get an error:
"SQL Server 2005 Setup has detected incompatible components from beta versions of Visual Studio, .NET Framework, or SQL Server 2005. Use Add or Remove Programs to remove these components, and then run SQL Server 2005 Setup again. For detailed instructions on uninstalling SQL Server 2005, see the SQL Server 2005 Readme."
This box has barely anything on it aside from ProClarity Analytics Server and the components I mentioned above. My only guess is that the SQL 2005 installer sees some newer components that are SP2 and it thinks they are beta? I know for sure I do not have any beta software on this machine.
Any ideas?

I have a strange bug when trying to run SSIS. I get the message in the output window "
Information: 0x40043008 at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: Post Execute phase is beginning. " in a script component but the Post Execute method is not being called.
I have placed a firewarning as the first statement to try and debug that the procedure is being called but to no avail as it is not being output
Has anyone come across this kind of issue before or have any suggestion on how to proceed ?
After a long period of time I then got the following messge displayed
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSVariableDispenser90.GetVariables(IDTSVariables90& ppVariables)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponent.LockReadWriteVariables(String readWriteVariables)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponentHost.PostExecute()
Within the package I have two script components one that uses a readwrite variable to set the variable to be a date in the first script tasks PostExecute and then the second component uses the date variable in its PostExecute method. Running the package seemd to imply that the first postexecute write t the variable is somehow locking out the next component from reading the variable.

Hello, I have been wrestling with a script component and the post execute method. I have obtained some bits of information from the discussions from previous posting - http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=97494&SiteID=1 and have also tried the suggested approaches. Being new to SSIS and .NET as well I am certain that I do not see the entire picture yet.
I have a Read/Write variable that I am assigning a value to. The variable is then processed through a derived column and subsequently used by a flat file.
I have eliminated the following exception thus far.
Error: 0xC0047062 at Data Flow Task, Script Component [518]: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ReadWriteVariablesNotAvailableException: The collection of variables locked for read and write access is not available outside of PostExecute.
But, my flat file does not contain in it the assigned values to the variable. A brief summary of the process follows:
OLE DB SOURCE ===> followed by the Script Component ===> followed by the Derived Columns ===> followed by the flat file.
Sample Script is:
Public Class ScriptMain
Inherits UserComponent
Public NewName As String
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
'
' Add your code here
'
NewName = Row.BPNM
Me.Variables.ShortName = NewName
End Sub
Public Overrides Sub PostExecute()
MsgBox("In first script...")
Me.Variables.ShortName = NewName
MsgBox("variable is " & Me.Variables.ShortName)
End Sub
Question. What am I not doing that prevents me from extracting and passing the respective values to the derived column for each of the rows processed. When I try to assign the value of NewName to the Short Name variable, In red above, I encounter the post execute exception, again.
What code should I have in place to insure that I am not trying to reference the variable on a PostExecute within the normal process of the script component? Any guidance would be immensly appreciated.
Help Please!!

When I finish the install, everything works except Buisiness Intelligence Development Studio, which is the product we will use the most. We do not have Visual Studio.Net or any of those product on this PC.
We have tried uninstalling and reintalling. We have tried both the Enterprise and Development CDs to get the tools installed. Both give us this error.

We're trying to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 (from 2000), but we're having consistent problems getting BIDS to install correctly.
The BIDS installation has failed on four of seven machines we've tried installing the SQL Server 2005 tools on. Not very good odds. Note that the rest of the SQL Server tools installed correctly; only BIDS is hosed. Two of the three machines where BIDS installed correctly were fresh Window's XP installs; one, however, wasn't a fresh install, so it's a mild enigma.
On the other four machines we've had the following issues with BIDS:
the shortcut created in the Start menu tries to load 'devenv.exe', but it's missing. BIDS doesn't start.
'devenv.exe' is on the system, however upon starting BIDS we're greeting with a generic pop-up that says, "Cannot find one or more components. Please reinstall the application.". Reinstalling the application does not help.
Thanks for any help or insight.

Hi,
I'm currently trying to develop an unattended installation of the Client Tools to be distributed to developers workstations.
All is well on 'clean' machines, but the problems arise when an instance of SQL Server Express is already present. The install fails, and the reason isn't clear from the log files.
I know Express installs a couple of the Client Components (like Config Manager), and I believe this is what it blocking me.
Has anyone tried this scenario?
Would I be best to REMOVE the Client_Components first, and then re-install them with SSMS etc.? Or is there a better method?
I have to leave the Express Database instance untouched as I'm not responsible for its installation or maintenance.
Thanks,
Gordon.

Anyone starting to see "Cannot show Visual Studio for Applications editor. (Microsoft Visual Studio)" after installing SQL Server 2005 SP2 on x86 machines? Second, how can it be fixed?
After installing SP2, the script component editor will not edit script components created in pre SP2 releases. (I also have Visual Studio 2005 SP1 installed). The script TASK editor will start, but when attempting to open a script COMPONENT in the VSA editor, a script component created for pre-SP2 packages, the following error dialog occurs.
Cannot show Visual Studio for Applications editor. (Microsoft Visual Studio)
This same error dialog has occurred on multiple computers, none of them are running Vista (rather Windows XP SP2). All of the pre-existent pre-SP2 script components have Precompile set to true as well, since they are intended for 64 bit machines.
Now, certain posts say, register DLLs in the following directories via:
for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i.
C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedVSA8.0common
C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedVSA8.0vsa
One problem with these instruction is that the second directory doesn't even exist, however, a directory called "C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedVSA8.0VsaEnv" does exist, which is perhaps what was meant. Even after registering the DLLs there, the script component editor will not open (erroring out after clicking the "Design Script..." button).

I have a package that used to work fine, but after I imported it into a different existing solution and tried to run it, it always stalls during the data flow task at the very end.
It will run through and process all the rows and insert them into the destination except for the last chunk. The task blocks eventually all turn green as well, but then it never proceeds to the next task after the data flow. Looking at the Progress tab for the data flow task, I get the following:
Progress: Pre-Execute - 100 percent complete
[DTS.Pipeline] Information: Execute phase is beginning.
[DTS.Pipeline] Information: Post Execute phase is beginning.
Progress: Post Execute - 0 percent complete
Then it just stays at 0 percent for Post Execute. The program doesn't hang or anything, it just doesn't progress at all. I also just checked and I run the package from its original solution and it is now exhibiting the same behavior as well.
Any ideas what might be causing this or something to do to try and figure it out or at least get more information about what might be causing it?
Thanks.

Hi can someone help me please? I browsed through the SP2 install feedback below, but it doesn't quite seem to fit what happened to my install. My .MDF and .LDF files for the system databases are in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSQL.1MSQLData (I presume this is the correct location.)
I am the local administrator on this box.
I uploaded the .CAB file with all the logs onto www.sendspace.com if it gives you something to go on.
The only other thing of note is that it said there were two machines on the network and that I needed to change my machine name in the control panel when I installed. This doesn't seem right, as far as I understand the computer name is unique.
The SQL Server runs under the local system account, if that is of any use.
I attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the SQL native client MSI package in the hope it would be a simple fix similar to that chap further down the page, but that didn't help at all either.
.CAB file of installation logfiles is here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/7ihoet
kind regards

I'm working on a fairly straight forward data transfer package and have found that the package runs dramatically faster when I run the package inside BIDS than with DTExec. When I run the package on the server using debug in BIDS, the job completes 1 million rows in around 6 minutes. When I run DTExec with the same package on the same server it is much slower and the package takes roughly 25 minutes to complete.
I know this sounds crazy and that it's supposed to be the other way around with DTExec running much faster, but I'm stumped as to what could be causing the issue. The machine this is running on is a two processor, dual core CPU with GB of RAM and I'm using terminal server to login and create the package with BIDS on SQL Server 2005 SP2.
The main feature of this package is a Foreach container that uses an ADO record set to loop over a set of values from a control table. There are a large number of iterations so the package loops frequently, but the data flow task is fairly simple and uses an OLEDB source and OLEDB destination to transfer data between two SQL Server 2005 databases.
The package works in either BIDS and DTExec, but I'm really puzzled why it would run so much faster inside BIDS?
Thanks in advance,
-Russ

Hi,
I have a problem that's baffling me. I have a package that loads some files into the database. If I run it from BIDS, it works fine. But if I run the package from the job, I get this error:
Cannot open the datafile "D:myFoldermyFile.TXT".
It seems like a permissions issue, but the job runs under a local admin account, and not to mention, the very same package/job reads and loads files from this exact same directory, with no problems.
Halp.

I am runing WinXP Pro SP2 with all current updates and also VS2005 Team Ed for Developers. VS2005 is installed on D drive as is nearly all of my development tools. SQL Server 2000 SP4 is on the C drive and just installed SQL 2005 express with advanced services to D drive. I then attempted to install the express toolkit BIDS to the D drive only to learn it's hard coded(really stupid to not check for existing VS 2005) to install on C drive only. I've gotten past the denenv.exe issue.
The issue now is when I open VS2005 with the normal shortcut or the Business Intelligence Development Studio short cut and open any project that contains Crystal Reports reports and attempt to open a report I get package load failures for ReportDesignerPackage and Datawarehouse VSIntegration Layer Package. Also get this same error if you try to now create a BIDS report project.
I thought maybe VS2005 has a search path variable in tools/options or maybe a system envirnoment variable that could be tweaked to tell VS2005 to also look in the IDE folder for the dummy VS install on the C Drive. If there is I have not discovered it yet.
Second thought was to copy the files in the IDE folder of the dummy VS install on C drive to the IDE folder where my VS2005 is actually installed. I saw a post last night by someone that had done that with apparent success. That solution seems a little suspect since the BIDS packages files are registered at the C drive paths, so you certainly don't want to delete or move those files from where they were installed.
I'm nervous about side effects on my existing VS2005 projects during development and deployment and aren't even using BIDS.
So, now the question is how does one resolve this conumdrum?
