I downloaded and installed the Informix Client SDK 3.0 and was able to extract data from an Informix 10 database. All of a sudden, it stopped working. The error message I received is "... error in initializing provider. (-25580) System error occurred in network function.". Has anyone encountered this error before and know of a solution?
Thanks.
I need to create packages that connects to a client's Informix DB server. When I tried to create a new OLEDB datasource from configuration manager, I could not find any Informix driver option. Can someone shed some light as to what I'm missing and the steps I need to take to be able to source data from Informix? Any drivers that needs to be installed and configured on the server and the developer's machine?
Thanks in advance.
PS. I discovered from the link below that IBM's Informix OLEDB driver does not support SSIS. Can someone validate this claim and what alternatives I have?

Hi, folks!
I want to pump data from Informix to SQL Server using DTS to fill / fresh up my SQL-Server data warehouse every day.
In the SQL documentation I found "Don't use the ODBC driver from Informix"
Which is a good choice of ODBC/OLE-DB drivers to deal with Informix via SQL servers DTS?
Regards from Berlin!

Hi everyone. I'm trying to switch from using Access, to using Sql Server to create my databases. The first thing I'd like to do, is connect to our CMS (Call Management System) to start creating reports on some of our data. I can't seem to figure out how to connect to it though. In Access, I use an ODBC connection. I installed a "Generic 32 Bit Driver" and I created a .dsn file called Lucent.dsn that Access uses to connect to the Informix database. I guess my question is, what is the connection string and where does it go? I've searched on this forum and on a few others and I can't seem to find help for someone as new as me!
Thanks for any help!

I want to connect to an Informix Database via SSIS to read and store data. I did some search online and have downloaded Informix ODBC Drivers. I installed the drivers and am trying to configure a System DSN but have few doubts on what each field indicate. URL... I am not sure on what to enter in fields like IBM Informix Server, Service Name? Connecting to Informix DB via SSIS?
View 4 Replies View RelatedBasically, I am asking if it is possible to use SSMS (Query Analyzer window) with Informix. I am thinking linked server. If I have the ODBC driver installed on my workstation (win 7 pro VM workstation -- SSMS on same VM machine) is this doable? Do I just do the standard linked server routine or is there a special way (if it is even doable).
View 4 Replies View Relatedhi I have this asp sql statement which works fine but I want to use an spl adapter instead as I am enabling paging in details view. I am stuck in one place. How do I declare @listing as I have done in the select parameter in the asp sql statement? Where in ths sql adapter do i declare it? listing value is derived from a dropdown box when the user makes a selection.
This is the sql statement i want to declare in the adapter.<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ASPNETDBConnectionString1 %>" SelectCommand="SELECT UserDetails.UserId, UserDetails.FirstName, UserDetails.LastName, UserDetails.City, aspnet_Membership.Email FROM UserDetails INNER JOIN
aspnet_Membership ON UserDetails.UserId = aspnet_Membership.UserId WHERE Category = @Listing">
<selectparameters>
<asp:controlparameter name="Listing" controlid="SearchListingDropDownList" propertyname="SelectedValue"/></selectparameters>
This is the adapter so far which gives me an error to declare scalable value @listing. How do i incoporate the select parameters below?
Function getTheData() As DataTable Dim DS As New DataSet()
Dim strConnect As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ASPNETDBConnectionString1").ConnectionString)Dim objSQLAdapter As New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT aspnet_Membership.UserId,UserDetails.FirstName + ' ' + UserDetails.LastName AS 'Customer',UserDetails.City, aspnet_Membership.Email FROM aspnet_Membership INNER JOIN UserDetails ON aspnet_Membership.UserId = UserDetails.UserId WHERE Category = @Listing", strConnect)objSQLAdapter.Fill(DS, "aspnet_Membership,UserDetails")

In VS2003 I have a user defaults table that I would call in the OnLoad - No Postback section to get the user defaults and then used some of the fields from that recordset as Parameters for other recordsets that would also load in that same section and might even issue a different Sql statement based on the field. In VS2005 (VB.NET), I can no longer figure out how to accomplish this. I can use the SQLDatasource Control which seems much improved but I cannot even find the generated code which I would use as a quick way to create my own datasources in the OnLoad event. Where is this code now stored and how can I accomplish my objectives in VB.NET 2005 with the current framework or programatically create data sources as necessary as I did before?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a table adapter which uses a Query string to get the select view and a stored procedure for its delete portion. Not all of the columns in the select statement are required for the stored procedure. When I try to do the delete, it attempts at passing in more variables than it needs and ends up resulting in an error saying it can't find a procedure that is valid. Is there any way to restrict which columns are being passed?
Thanks,

I am currently writing a custom source adapter that extracts data from a JD Edwards OneWorld system. In the custom user interface of the source component I need to allow the user to set a query (a custom property), and then refresh a list of output columns that will be extracted based upon that query (similar to the list shown in the advanced editor).
My question is, can I apply the custom property change to the component and build my output column list without closing and restarting my custom UI form? I understand that the IDTSComponentUI interface being implemented allows for transactional editing of the component, in that the changes to the component are not applied until I have returned a result in the implemented Edit() method. However is there a way to apply changes without returning this result (and closing my UI)?
Essentially I am looking to have similar behaviour to that of the 'Refresh' button in the advanced component editor form.
Thanks
Hi All,
I have built a custom flat file destination adapter but it appears that the code is not working. When I debug the process I notice that the ProcessInput section is called multiple times. The first time it looks like everything is working, then it call it again and there is no inpout from the DTSInput90.
Why would it do this?
Thanks

Hi All,
Using a data access mode of SQL Command, I have a stmt that returns one date ( e.g select max(LastChangedDate) from TblA ).
I want to store the result in a variable. How do I do this?
Cheers,
Tamim.
Now, I don't know if what I want to do is possible, but here goes. In the table I want to query, there is an "approval status" column, of type Int32. There are four approval levels, 1, 2, 3 and 4. What I want to set up is a query in the table adapter that can return all entries of one or more approval levels. In "raw" sql, I would do something like: SELECT * FROM facility_table WHERE (approved IN (1,2,3));What I want to do though, is to have the list of approval codes to be a parameter that I can pass to the table adapter query, so the where clause becomes "WHERE (approved IN (@approval))", and I pass a string with the list of approval codes. But the query designer doesn't want to cooperate with me, as it insists that "@approval" should be an int32.Any suggestions?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application (ASP.NET 2.0/SQL Server 2005) which makes heavy use of table adapters for pulling records from SQL. Under heavy load, we get a lot of SQL Server Timeout errors. We have run a trace on SQL Server and it shows that several of the SQL statements being passed into SQL Server, from the Table Adapters, have bad SQL.
For example, here is the SQL in one of the table adapters
SELECT HomeMsgID, messageName, messageHTML, messageText, populationID
FROM MyUCR_HomeMessages
WHERE (populationID IN
(SELECT populationID
FROM MyUCR_Population_CPID AS
MyUCR_Population_CPID_1
WHERE (CPID = @CPID))) AND (isVisible = 1)
AND (showDate <= @showDate) AND (removeDate >= @removeDate)
I call it with the following:
DateTime showDate = DateTime.Today;
DateTime removeDate = DateTime.Today;
myUCR_HomePageMsgsTableAdapters.MyUCR_HomeMessagesTableAdapter ta = new
myUCR_HomePageMsgsTableAdapters.MyUCR_HomeMessagesTableAdapter();
myUCR_HomePageMsgs.MyUCR_HomeMessagesDataTable dt = new
myUCR_HomePageMsgs.MyUCR_HomeMessagesDataTable();
ta.FillByCPID(dt, showDate, removeDate, CPID);
What the SQL trace shows, when it fails, is this (notice the extra single
quotes around the showDate, removeDate parameters):
E000

messageText, populationID

1[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near '2007'.
I recreated the SQL to use a stored procedure, and got a similar error:

However, if I create dynamic SQL and use the following, there are no errors.

I am using an "XML Source Adapter" in an SSIS Package to try and load an XML file into a database table. But having trouble with a date field.
The XSD defines the field as:-
<xs:element minOccurs="1" name="DateTime" type="xs: string" />
The XML looks like this:-
<DateTime>12/31/2007 10:12:14.123</DateTime>
And the database table column is defined:-
[DateTime] [datetime] NOT NULL,
So in the Data Flow I have a "Data Conversion Transformation" converting [DT_WSTR] to [DT_DBTIMESTAMP].
However, when I run the package I get:-
Error: 0xC02020C5 at Load XXX File, Data Conversion 1 [13550]: Data conversion failed while converting column "DateTime" (15100) to column "DateTimeDT" (15422). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
So what how do I fix it?
I don't mind losing some miliseconds of precision, so I have tried configuring the error output of the Data Conversion for this field to "ignore failure" for "Truncation". But that seems to have no effect.
I'd be happy to change the XSD to:
<xs:element minOccurs="1" name="DateTime" type="xs:dateTime" />
But the "XML Data Flow Source" doesn't seem to support the dateTime data type.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

I'm having alot of trouble figuring out the proper way to log from inside my custom source adapter.
I couldn't find my useful information in MSDN, it mostly applies to logging from inside a script task.
I'd like to log my messages along with all the other SSIS package log entries, which I have going to the dts log table.
I'm assuming I should be using some functionality from Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.RunTime, probably the LogProvider.
Can anyone advise?

Quick question...
I have a conditional split transform in a dataflow...
One of the outputs of the conditional split will take records that are just not needed...
Do I have to send that output into the Trash Destination adapter? Or can I just let those records hang?
Will there be a memory leak if I don't use a trash adapter?
I'm just thinking about if I move the package I'd have to go reinstalling the trash adapter every time...
Thanks
Hi All,
I would like to send a query via Table adapter using parameter that is not the whole field. (Its only a part of the filed).
I will try to illustrate my needs:
We have a list of items in a data grid.
I would like to get the list of items who are answering my item name search query.
(I need to change the list every time the user enter another key letter for the search).
I would like to do so in the data adapter, but I'm not able to use the LIKE statement.
Please please try to help me
P.S.
Do I need to use stored procedure, if so, can anyone give me an idea how to do so ?
I would Like to know whether anyone tried to SSIS from SQL to AS400.
I am getting Exception when I set destination adapter ( for As400).
Whats the acceptable value .

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm getting some unexpected behaviour from my SSIS packages when targeting tables that are being referenced by Indexed Views. There's two separate issues:
1. When writing into a pair of tables with a SuperType / SubType relationship concurrently with a pair of SS destinations I'm getting deadlocks between the two. Removing the index on the view that references both of these fixes the problem.
2. Much odder, I'm getting some extremely long waits (10 times longer than the whole package should take to run!) from an SS Destination adapter even when there's no data in the flow for it to bulk insert. Again, removing the indexed views that reference the destination table fixes the problem.
The views aren't mine, and (apparently) are required by the reporting app (BO), so removing them isn't really an option. I realise that there's quite a lot of overhead to maintaining indexed views, but unfortunately, the project is on a very tight timeline, so I can't look into it in as much detail as I'd like.
I was wondering if anyone's experienced any similar issues, or would have any ideas as to where to start investigating?
Thanks a lot

I didn't want to deal with any truncation issues so I edited the SQL created by the Import Wizard. I made the fields VARCHAR instead of NVARCHAR and changed the size from the default 50 to 250.
Now I have a triangle warning on the OLE DB Destination control. So I am wondering, is it limited to only handling 50 characters?

I'm working on a new project using SSIS in SQL Server 2005 and have an issue that I need resolved.
I'm loading an XML file into SSIS using the XML Source Adapter. This maps to an OLE DB destination which reads the data into a SQL table (please see below for the table structure). In between this stage is a data conversion to convert the Unicode characters from XML into non-Unicode characters.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[XMLTest](
[Forename] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL,
[Surname] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL,
[PostCode] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL
)
The problem I have is with blank strings in xml are being inserted into the SQL table as NULL values and not blanks (see the xml below).
<Root>
<People>
<Forename>Duncan3</Forename>
<Surname></Surname>
<PostCode>ME16 0WH</PostCode>
</People>
</Root>
Correct me if I'm wrong but a null value in xml means the node does not exist (See the xml below)?

I am writing a custom task to import data from delimited files into SQL tables. I use the standard Flat File Source adapter, a custom transformation to add a URN column and a filename column to the data and the standard OLEDB Destination Adapter.
Most of my test data files work fine except for ones with a lot of columns (around 350 columns). I get an error when I call the ReinitializeMetaData() method for the destination adapter.
Q1) Is there a restriction on the number of columns (or data row size) that can be imported into an OLEDB Destination Adapter?
Q2) The reason I use this adapter rather than the SQL Server Destination Adapter is that I need to set the destination table name using a variable. I don't believe I can do this with the SQL Server Destination Adapter. Is this the case?
Q3) Anyone know of a better/alternative way of acheiving the above? One way I have thought of is to create a custom destination adapter using the SQL Server Destination adapter as the base but I'm not sure whether this is a) possible and b) worth the hassle.
Hope someone can help...
Cheers

I have an SP that I call via table adapter. If I do not pass a value in the string field ('eventRef'), the SP never gets called - it appears that the table adapter is filtering it...? I need to be able to count records that have an 'eventRef' = to the one I pass, including null. This works fine if I pass an 'eventRef', but never runs if that parm is empty.
Here is the TA definition
