My need is to load data from flat files to SQL tables. All the flat files are different. For convenience flat file name and table name is similar.
I have placed a For loop container and in which I used SCRIPT TASK to read the file names from the specified folder and i populated this value to SSIS variable. All my flat file name and destination table name are given using this Script task. For the first run it executes perfectly, but for the second run it fails. The reason is due to the flat file connection manager. The file name is changed since it is taken care by my script, but the columns are not mapped it still have the previous file's columns. I do not know how to solve this.
Please tell me if there is any other way to solve this or i need to refine my process.
Actually i have more than 100 files and so i am trying to do it at one short rather than creating individual packages.
Is it possible to get information of the mappings availabe in the packages?, like the column mappings in the OLE Destination control, column mappings in the merge join control etc.,. I want the information of source and destination in the mappings(name of the DB, table). I want that to be in some file like excel file. Inform me is there a way to get it?
Is there a way to change an image data type? I want to make a change to some deployed SQL 2008 SSIS deployed packages. I have a TSQL SELECT that searches the packages for a string. But I would like to be able to change a string. I have googled it but cannot find anything.
I have SSIS packages with the usual: source, destination, and mappings between the two. How can I export these mappings to, say, Excel / Word for documentation purposes?
hi - I am totally new to SSIS etc and SQL 2005. I have a dts task to recreate in SSIS. I have done most of them and muddled my way through, but this basic problem has got me stuck. When mapping columns from my file to my ole db output table, I want to map one input column onto two output columns, but it will only seem to let me select one destination column for each input? I have tried shift/alt/ctrl etc to try to get it to map to both columns but it wont have it. How do I do it?
Also, somehow my Dataflow Sources tab has gone from the toolbox, and I can't seem to get it back any way - I switched on everything I could see and all components etc, but it is not in there as an option. How do I get it back in the toolbox?
I had a few packages created with Windows Authentication which now needs to be migrated to run with SQL Server Authentication. I tried changing it in the connection managers but the packages failed to validate at the SCD transformations.For a few packages I had Configuration files for these packages where i tried to do it but it dint run giving the following Error Message: [Connection manager "Target"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "Login failed for user <<with my network id>>.".
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Failed to acquire connection "Target". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
I have flat file (comma delimited) with 200 columns, and i want to import this to sql table using SSIS package, I create a Flat file source and sql server destination items from tool box. in destination item, i can not see the preview, for some reason, it is not reading the rows from source, Do I have to manually each and every column from source to destination under mapping tabl in destination item.
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 have approximately 250 dts packages. I moved all of the packages over to the new server, using dts. But now I need to change the server name to point to the new server and keep the transformations. is there a better way than having to open every package and editing?
I previously installed SQL 7.0 on my machine. The name of the Server was DEVELOPMENT. Unfortunately I needed to change the computer name, but I had already created my databases and did not want to lose the information. It was suggested that I should simply change the computer name and reinstall SQl. I changed the name to DEVSERVER. This seemed to work fine. Now I am having a problem when I try to create a DTS package on the renamed server from another SQL server . I receive the following error. "A connection could not be established to Development. Specified SQLserver not found" The server which is now called Devserver, is registered on the server I am creating the package from, however the message seems to imply that the server I'm connecting to is still called Developement and cannot be found. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I have created SSIS (.dtsx) files and have stored in different servers. Now my query is I want to move all dtsx files from filesystem to Sqlserver2005 database how should i do it.
I need to create the ssis package in business intelligence developement studio i am need to sqlserver 2005.When i opened the BID studio i am not able to see the integration services packages type.. Please help the steps to design the package.
I have experience of using the 2000 in dts designer mode.
I upgraded to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 and now when I run the master SSIS package( that has several packages in it), all the packages run twice.
After removing SP2, they work fine. Any ideas how to make this work with SP2?
I am writing a vb application that is supposed to let the users set the connection string for the datasources in the package. After new connection strings are entered the application is supposed to run 8 packages in a certain order, but I haven't been able to set a new connection string successfully. Is there a way to programmatically modify the connection string of a package's datasource? (the packages are moving data from a D3 database to sql server 2005)
Here is what I have tried so far:
A. Dim pkgLocation As String Dim app As Application = New Application() pkgLocation = "c:Package1.dtsx" Dim pkg As Package = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, Nothing) Dim myConns As Connections = pkg.Connections
MessageBox.Show(myConns(0).ID.ToString) Dim myConnMgr As ConnectionManager = myConns(0) Dim connProperties As DtsProperties = myConnMgr.Properties
I am connecting to a DB2 mainframe to pull data into SQL 2005. Very simple import. SSIS package works fine on 32 bit. However, once deployed to the 64 bit machine, I get "invalid product license" on the Acquire Connection method.
I've worked with IBM support. I have the correct version of the DB2 Connect client installed. The license is there and in the right place. I can connect to the mainframe from the 64 bit server using the DB2 client tools. I just can't seem to execute the package from Integration Services or run a job in SQL Server that executes the package.
According to BOL, the package should automatically detect the 64 client I installed. It and the 32 bit client I developed with share the same name/id.
I read in Kirk Haselden's book "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services" that if SQL Serfver 2005 and 2000 are installed on the same machine as seperate instances then you can view the SQL Server 2000 DTS packages in 2005 Management Studio under the Management tree, Legacy, Data Transformation Services node.
But in my case, I am not able to see DTS packages in Management Studio. Is there a property or a setting that we need to configure for that?
I'm still new to SSIS packages and I'm NOT a developer. I am in the process of doing preliminary/prepatory work for migrating our SQL 2000 platforms to SQL 2005.
I am having a REAL headache with migrating/moving DTS packages from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. Here are things that I know :
1. I know that some packages cannot be migrated due to ActiveX issues and other issues. Fine.
2. I know that I can install DTS backwards compatibility components on the server in order to be able to edit the DTS packages using a SQL 2000 DTS GUI. Fine.
3. I know that I can use the Migration wizard to migrate packages (and that some of them can't be migrated this way). Fine.
Here's what I don't know/or am conjecturing:
1. In a clustered environment, I have to edit the <%Install Path%>/90/DTS/Bin/MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml file to set the <ServerName> property to the Virtual Server name. Correct? Why can't M$ do this for me?
2. Do I HAVE to export the SSIS package to a .DTSX file in order to be able to edit it with Visual Studio? Is there ANY way around this?
3. If I am running in a clustered environment and I use the File System for storing packages, then the pacakges must be stored on a shared volume, right?
4. I did not find SQL Server Integration services on the B- (Passive) node. Do I have to install it separately onto the B server (much like having to install the Client Tools)?
If anyone has some guidance or tips on running SSIS in this brave, new, wonderful world, I would sure appreciate it.
And yes, I am going to go out right now and order a new book on SSIS.
Hello, When I try to save modifies in packages with many components the system show me a information dialog telling me that there was a System.OutOfMemoryException
Anyone knows how to solve this problem without divide the package in 2 or more packages?
Hi All, I've been assigned a task by one of the programmer in my team to create packages from some of the databases(One from SQL2005&Other one from SQLEXPRESS) I've created and saved the packages using the export wizard.I saved the Packages as Integration Services Packages(On file System). Now he wants me to execute the packages using SSIS But in different time,like maybe after 5min.Other package runs. I really have no clue how to do that,I've added Both packages in SSIS,But i really dont know how to run them in different time. If anyone could help please do so!
I am in a situation where we are redesigning our Datawarehouse. Currently we have our Datawarehouse in SQL 2000 and we are rebuilding from scratch in SQL 2005. This means that even though we will get the same tables but we are planning to rename each & every attribute to make it more meaningful.
The question is like this:
We can migrate the current DTS packages to SSIS but since all the ODBC connections , field names(attributes) will change is it worth it to leverages the DTS packages ?
Also we convert the julian date to gregorian date in our DTS packages but since SSIS has a feature to convert julian date it would be redundant to migrate the packages and my feeling is to create new packages in SSIS and start on a clean slate.
I am asking something very basic and theoretical, here.
Are there any design tools available in the market for designing SSIS packages? By "design tools" I mean tools which enable us to "plan" or "design" the architecture of a SSIS Solution that will be implemented later, using SSIS, of course.
We have several design tools available for designing a Web Application solution, for example. Similarly do we have something for SSIS?
Are there any design approaches, best practices and/or design techniques published for designing a SSIS solution?
Please note that I am not talking about the SSIS Designer or the BIDS. I am talking about a tool/approach for designing the SSIS solution which can be delivered as a project artifact before the actual coding phase starts?
Well, I have tried to express myself as best as I could. If someone can help me with this, it will be really great!
On my local desktop, I can create and run ssis packages, when I try to do the same thing on server I get he following error right clicking on running packages or stored packages.
failed to retrieve data for this request. Library not Registered. (exception from HRESULT: 0x8002801D
there are 2 instances of SQL on this server. Both are named with one being use by SQLExpress and the other by SQL2005 Std
I am fairly new to SSIS and I have a number of questions concerning deploying SSIS packages and Configuration Files
The SSIS packages will be deployed to three environments (DEV, TEST,PROD - this is a clustered environment) and will be executed by SQL Server Agent Jobs. There will be a need for different configuration values for each environment (file import directory, database server connectivity) , the configurations will be reused by mulitple packages.
I have decided to deploy the packages and configuration files to a file directory in the format
1) I storing the packages/config files to a file directory the best approach, or should I be deploying the packages to SQL or file ( C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server 90DTSPackages)
2) Is it best to have different configuration files for each environment (dDBConn_DEV.dtsconfig, dDBConn_TEST) or have the same config file and then change the values during deployment (via scripts).
3) What is the best way to deploy the packages and config files to the different environments (rather do it via scripts than the deployment utility)
4) Where is the best place to store the config files (I have one VS 2005 project per package, the confi files are used by multiple packages), TFS is our source control software
5) Does any one know of a good website to look at for best practice when deploying packages and config files
