How To Parameterize XML Data Source Connection String?
Sep 17, 2007I need to create a report that lists other reports in the SSRS database. So I created an XML Data Source. But no matter what, I can't seem to parameterize this connection string so that it'll always point to whichever report server the report is deployed to. I know that I can change this data source once I've done deployment, however I don't want to have to change this whenever I change from SIT to UAT to Production. Is there a way to achieve this?
I tried:
"http://" & Globals!ReportServerUrl & "/ReportService2005.asmx"
="http://" & Globals!ReportServerUrl & "/ReportService2005.asmx"
http://Globals!ReportServerUrl/ReportService2005.asmx
=http://Globals!ReportServerUrl/ReportService2005.asmx
Globals!ReportServerUrl & "/ReportService2005.asmx"
=Globals!ReportServerUrl & "/ReportService2005.asmx"
All to no avail
Thanks,

Changing The Connection String On The Fly....
Nov 21, 2006Now that I have figured out how to connect to a foxpro database...
Could anyone tell me how to change the connection string on the fly?
I would like to make it possible, from the command line (using dtexec) to specify a portion of the connection string.... incorportate this portion into the connection string and then instruct the connection manager to use this connection...
For example I have a number of foxpro databases to import, they will be place in a directory structure like this:
TopLevel
TopLevelNewYork ransactions.dbf
TopLevelLondon ransactions.dbf
TopLevelSydney ransactions.dbf
I'd like the user to be able to specify which city's files to load each time the package is run..
dtexec /f MyPackage /set Package.Variables[User::THECITY].Properties[Value];"London"
And when the package starts the THECITY variable would take the value "London"
But I'm not sure how to then affect the connection string property of the connection manager... there seems to be no way to specify that it take its connection string property from an expression...
So I'm lookin for some way which would cause the Connection String property of the coneection manager to become:
Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};sourcedb=d:TopLevelLondon;sourcetype=DBF;exclusive=No;backgroundfetch=Yes;collate=Machine;
Jsut to recap, the provider for this connection manager
is a ".Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider" which I've been forced to use becasue the OLEDb provider for Foxpro has been rendered useless by service pack 1
Thanks in advance

Integration Services :: Dynamic SIS Package Changing Source Connection At Run Time
Jul 30, 2015I am in between of creating a dynamic SSSIS package which will run for multiple zones having different source connection.My source is in Oracle.I am having 3 DFT with the 3 different source tables.I want to create a package with above DFT dynamically so that my single package can run for the entire zone with dynamically source connection change.I have created a Master table which stores the zone source connection string and zone name. I have 2 different connection.so if in future any new zones come so only newly zone details need to be add in master table without opening the package.
View 3 Replies View RelatedChanging Connection String In SSIS Package ???
Feb 5, 2007Hi!
I create a SSIS Package for ETL on my own machine. During development database was also on my machine. For access to this database an OLE DB connection was defined within a package in BI Development Studio. Everything worked well both in debug mode and testing package itself.
Finally I need to load data to a database on a different machine using this package.
I used several scenaries:
1) simply copied the package-file to estination machine, open it for execution, in section "Connection Managers" I edited connection string manually - changed server name and Initial Catalog. And try to execute.
2) on the destination machine I manually created an OLE DB connection (using Microsoft Data Link) to a different database (test succeded), Changed the extention of the connection file 'udl' for ' txt ' and copied its connection string to the field connection string in section "Connection Managers" (pointed in variant 1) ).
3) use Package Configurations, copied the deployment to destination machine, installed the package the way like written here - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365338.aspx. Changed exported properties - Server name, Initial Catalog and also the whole Connection String. Also try to execute.
In all cases I recieved the same error execution message :
"Errors in the metadata manager. Either the database with ID of " OLD_DATABASE_NAME " does not exist in the server with ID of " NEW_SERVER_NAME " or the user does not have permissions to access the object."
As for access (username/pass) settings they are the same for both of them, I have the same administrative rights on both machines. And more with the same rights the ole db connection made was made manually in variant 2 - succeded!!! So I don't think the problem is here.
As for Error message - I think somewhere the OLD name of database (Initial Catalog) is saved, though I tried to change it. Though the NEW value for the server name is substituted.
Please, help me. I don't know what else can I try. And it is not a single case for my practice. So I think - something wrong in my actions.
Changing Connection String In Multiple Packages.
Mar 29, 2006Scenario:
130 dtsx packages using 4 matching connections.
3 of those connections are stored in an SSIS Configuration table in an Operational database.
The last connection is in a shared data source and points to the Operational database so the packages can grab the others.
Problem:
It's time for deployment and all of those connections must change to production servers.
The 3 are no issue, just change the ConfiguredValue in the SSIS Configuration table on the production box to point to the other production servers.
However, the fourth one... I had made an assumption that when you changed a shared data source it filtered down throughout all the packages. We all know what assumptions do to you.... So. I need a way to change all 130 connections (and be able to change ALL packages quickly and simply for other projects in the future)
Solution:
It has been suggested that we use another package to run though all of the packages and change the connection with a script task. I can live with this (and more importantly so can our DBS's who have to deploy).
I have one snippet of code to ADD a connection using a variable holding the connection string, but we dont' want to add one, just change an existing one.
Has anyone else done this? Or had a similar problem and way to fix?
We are likely to have many projects in which the connections MUST change at deployment, and the idea of going into every package to make the change is sad at best... We would be more likely to move back to a competitor's product that has a connection repository, than continue with SSIS.

Changing SQL Server Connection String Based On User.
Mar 1, 2007I’m working with a team of programmers who are in the process of upgrading an older ASP application to ASP.NET 2.0 (VB). The existing application connects to the SQL Server Database using different Logins, depending on the User logged into the ASP Application.
We are hoping to do the same using ASP.NET 2.0, although we haven’t been able to find a simple solution. The most feasible solution we have found includes programmatically trapping all the Selecting etc events and changing the SqlConnection at run time. This allow for ease during Designing of the Web Pages, but implementation requires adding code to each web page (>100 pages).
We are hoping there may be a simple solution which can be implemented once for the application where the event can be trapped at the application level, and the SqlConnection set at this point. Or possibly another type of solution such as creating a new class etc that can be used?
Does anyone have a simple solution where the username / password for the Database Connection can be set at run time?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Load Data From Flat File Source Into OleDB Destination By Changing Data Types In SSIS

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow Do I Add An ODBC Connection Data Source As A Data Flow Source
Mar 2, 2007I have set up a new connection as a connection from data source, but I cannot see how to use this connection to create my Data Flow Source. I have tried using an OLE DB connection, but this is painfully slow! The process of loading 10,000 rows takes 14 - 15 minutes. The same process in Access using SQL on a linked table via DSN takes 45 seconds.
Have I missed something in my set up of the OLE DB source / connection? Will a DSN source be faster?

Changing Data Source Programatically Does Not Transfer Data
Aug 29, 2006I have created a SSIS package that transfer data from a Foxpro database to an instance of SQL Server 2005 Express. I used the wizard to create the package but I load and execute the package within a custom application that I have written in C#.
The way the custom application is intended to work is that the user can have the database in any location on the computer and all he has to do is specify the location then the application programatically changes the location of the source on the package that it has loaded and then execute it. When I initially run the package the first time (using the original path), it works fine and transfers the data. However, every subsequent time I run the application and specify a different path, the database on the SQL Server side gets created as expected but the data is not transfered!
Where am I going wrong? Do I need to save the package after I modify the source then reload and run it again or do i need to change something else in the Data Flow to make this work?
Changing Data Source Of Existing Cube
Dec 25, 2006Hi Guys,
We had existing cubes in our Analysis Server, we were required to move them on another Reporting Server which would be using Data Replicated every night to that server. Problem is now source data is divided into 2 Reporting Database Servers. Table Names/View Names are the same in all the Databases. I just want to change the data source pointing to existing Database to the new Reporting Server. Can you tell me how this can be achieved?

Changing DataTypes In An Excel Data Source
Jun 7, 2006Hello.
I'm importing some data from an excel file to sql server 2005.
I created an Excel Data Source inside my Data Flow Task but it is assuming that the source columns DataType is double-precision float [DT_R8]. It isn't, even though some rows may containg numeric string in the column's cell.
If I go to the Data Sources advanded editor, and modify the data type property of the column, SSIS complains the the error output and the source output are not of the same DataType. If I try to change the error output's data type in the advanced editor I get this error: "Property Value". The deailed error states:
Error at MOVIM 04 [MOVIM 04 [1]]: The data type for "output "Excel Source Error Output" (10)" cannot be modified in the error "output column "Agente Protector" (7662)".
Error at MOVIM 04 [MOVIM 04 [1]]: Failed to set property "DataType" on "output column "Agente Protector" (7662)".
If i let SSIS correct the error by itself, it changed the dource column back to double-precision float [DT_R8].
Is there any way to get arround this?
Thanks in advance,

Get Flat File Source Connection String At Run Time
Apr 12, 2007I have a simple package, which reads a flat file source, does some transformation, and outputs to a flat file destination. The package runs as a SQL Agent job, so I have the flat file source and OLEDB connection ticked and configured on the data sources tab.
What I would like to do is get hold of the flat file source connection string property from inside the package at run time, and use it to set the flat file destination connection string using property expressions.
The easy option is to set the destination in the agent job, but I'd like to add a date/time stamp to the destination filename.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Greg.
The Command Line Parameters Are Invalid For Source Connection String When Running As A SQL Job
Jan 30, 2008
Hi All,
I created a SSIS package to import an excel spreadsheet into my data warehouse.
When I run the package it runs fine. When I created a SQL Job to run the package I get the following error:
Option "Source=D:HelpDeskImportBook2.xls;Extended" is not valid. The command line parameters are invalid.
Now if I look at my source connection string in the job it looks like the following:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:HelpDeskImportBook2.xls;Extended Properties=HDR=YES;EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES";
Does anyone know why it appears that my connection string looks like it is being cut off and does anyone know how I can correct the problem?
Thanks,
Scott

Dec 11, 2007Today I was making a few reports.
When I tested the reports in Visual Studio, they worked great: I got the expected result.
But when I deployed the reports to our reportserver the problem started.
When I click on the directory in which my reports are deployed, I got my 4 reports.
Till now everything worked correct.
But when I click on a report to view the results it went wrong.
I got an error:
"Cannot create a connection to data source 'Live'"
(Live is the name of our data source).
We are using the Windows Logons and I am sure that I have all the rights on the server, I gave myself 'sysadmin' rights, so it should work.
I also have tried it with all the roles assigned on my account, but then it still won't work.
When I modify the data source, and set it to another server en database it works.
The datasource 'Live' exists on a x64 MsSQL server, en the other datasource is on a x86 MsSQL server.
Maybe that is the problem?
Can someone tell me what is wrong?
Connection Manager Not Showing New Connection From Data Source...
Mar 30, 2007Hello,
I've created a SSIS Solution and have created Data Sources. I have two packages. One was created before the Data Sources, and one was created after. The package that was created after is using connections from the Data Sources. I want to change the package before the Data Soruces were created to use them, but when I right click in the Connection Managers pane "New Connection From Data Source.." is not an option.
Did I not add it to the Solution properly?
How do I get it to show?
Did I not refresh something?
Please provide the how if you figure it out.

Integration Services :: Package Failed After Changing Password In Shared Data Source

Truncation Of String Data With Data Reader Source Connecting To ODBC DSN
Mar 18, 2007A data reader is using a connection manager to connect to an ODBC System DSN . A query in the SqlCommand property is provided. Data is being truncated in the only string column . The data type in data reader output-->external columns shows as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] Length 7.
The truncated output in a text file is the first 3 characters from left to right . Changing the column order has no effect.
A linked server was created in SQL Server Management Studio to test the ODBC System DSN using the following:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'server_name',
@srvproduct = '',
@provider = 'MSDASQL',
@datasrc = 'odbc_dsn_name'
Data returned using "OPENQUERY" does not truncate the string column indicating that the ODBC Driver returns data as expected with sql 2005, but not with the Data Reader.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Data Flow Source That Will Take A String Variable With Csv Structure?
Dec 21, 2006I am able to use a custom script task to receive a MSMQ package and save the package contents to a flat file.
I can also use the bulk load task to push the flat file contents into a SQL table.
However, I would like to save the package contents to a variable (done, it works), and then pass that string variable to a data flow task for SQL upload. In other words, I don't see any reason to persist the msmq package contents to disk.
My question is: Which data flow source can I use that will accept a string variable? The string variable will then need to be processed with bulk load or an execute sql task.
Btw, the content of the string variable is a csv style string:
"01001","11/21/2006",15
"01001","11/21/2006",1
"01001","11/21/2006",25
"01001","11/21/2006",3

Excel Source Numeric/string Data Problem
Oct 26, 2006i've been reading some problems with excel source data being force as
numeric type when there are string/numeric type in the data, but adding
IMEX=1 to the extended properties will fix this problem...this is true
but not in my case...
say my excel file have about 40 rows..if row 1-39 in column A are all
NULL and row 40 has a string in it, the string in row 40 will not be
converted and the excel source is forcing this column A data type to be
numeric..having IMEX=1 in there does not work..however..if i add a
string anywhere in row 1-8 in column A, the the string in row 40 will
be converted because the external data type now is a string..
anyone know how to solve this problem?
OLEDB Data Source Limit Lenght Of String To 4000
Feb 5, 2008
Hello,
I have 2 table, "table1" is the source one and the other one "table2" is the destination.
Columns in Table1 and in Table2 are nvarchar(max).
Data loaded from table1 is performed by SSIS OLEDB data flow source, I have found out that opening "Data flow Path Editor" in the Metadata, columns are as: DT_WSTR with lenght 4000.
First question:
Why SSIS limit the column to 4000.
Then I get some error for this issue, with the error:
input column "col1" (xxxx) and reference column named (coln) have incompatible data type.
As written before both columns are string, the problem is that SSIS limit the lenght of the string to 4000.
How can I solve this issue?

Connection Manager Or Data Source
Feb 12, 2007
For seting up the connection should we use Connection Manager or New Connection From Data Source?
The advantage of using Data Source is that we have the connection avalilable at project level but I've studied it somewhere that Data Source is used for SSAS not SSIS.
But I don't have enough explanation to give it to my team, that why I am not using Data Source.
We are working on VSS, do we have to reset the connection managers if want to test our packages on some other machine(else than the one on which it was developed)?
