Am I correct in thinking that I need to place a dummy script component which does nothing in order to route logic depending on the value of a variable?
ie. I want to output to a file if a Parent variable is a certain value, or i want to load a table if its a different value.
I have a parent package that calls a child package, when I run the parent package the child package picks up a variable value from the parent in a script task and runs fine, the problem I'm facing is when I run just the child package, the script task fails because it doesn't know about the parent variable. The dilemma I'm facing is in my child script task, if I add the parent variable to the ReadOnlyVariables list then the task fails because the parent variable doesn't exist when I just run the child. If I don't add the parent variable to the ReadOnlyVariabls list then if I try to use it then the task fails saying that the variable doesn't exist in the variables collection.
Is there a way to check for the existence of the parent variable, so when I just run the child package I don't get an error and I don't have to change my task every time I choose to run the child package only vs running the parent/child?
Thanks.
I have a package that has multiple data flow tasks. At the end of a task, key data is written into a raw file (file name stored in a variable) that is used as a data source for the next task. Each task requires a success from the preceding task.
Here's the rub:
If I execute the entire package, the results of the package (number of records of certain tasks) differs significantly from when I execute each step in the package in turn (many more records e.g. 5 vs 350).
I get the feeling that the Raw file is read into memory before it is flushed by the previous task, or that the next task begins preparation tasks too early.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am running on Server 2003 64 (although the same thing happens when deployed on a Server 2003 32 machine)

I have an SSIS job that has been running overnight sucessfully has for the last two nights failed with the message:
A fatal error occurred while reading the input stream from the network. The session will be terminated.
Error: 4014, Severity: 20, State: 2.
The message is logged in both the SQL log and the application event log.
As this job step involves copying from one database to another on the current server, it is hard to account for the error. Had the error occurred in an earlier job step when database is restored to the current server from a share on another server, the error would be understandable.
The SQL server is SQL2005 SP2 running on Windows 2003 Sp1. I have been unable to locate any changes in the time frame that would account for this error.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
I copied and added an existing package as a new package to a project and have been having trouble with settings reverting to those for the original package after I modify and save the changes for the new package. Sometimes happens with the save itself, other times it happens when I close and re-open the package. Most cases are with connections that revert back to the original file reference, but there are also control flow and data flow elements that keep reverting back to either settings from the original package or defaults that result in the re-opened package being in error. Not sure how to get around this issue short of developing the new package from scratch which I'd rather not do since it is fairly complex. Any help anyone can provide is appreciated. Thanks.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI trying to right some custom error handeling activex controls inside a DTS Package. The only problem is i need the specific name of the step that it is checking. The easiest way I found was to save the package to Meta Data Services and then look at the properties. The only problem with that is it doesnt specify what is what. its more or less a guess. and if the package is huge or has been through multiple revisions, it makes it even harder. anyone that could lend an hand? i though for sure i might be able to pull it from one of the sys tables in msdb, but there isnt anything for the individual steps, only the packages. Thanks in advance.

I am getting an error when I try to create a Step in a SQL Agent Job and select the Type "SQL Server Integration Services Package". As soon as I select this type in the drop down box, I get the error message:
The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) (SqlManagerUI)
It then takes me back to the Step window, but I do not get the option to select packages.
I was able to do this in the past, and I do have jobs set up to run packages, so this may be something related to "permissions" or recent upgrades. I am a sysadmin on the SQL Server, but I have limited rights on the Windows server (I'm not a Network admin). OR, could this be related to recent service packs or windows upgrades?
Any help appreciated.
This is a bug that I submitted to Microsoft. I wanted to see if anyone could assist me with a work-around.
1. Create a new DTS Package
2. Add an ActiveX Task and change 'Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success' to 'Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure'.
3. Running this package will result in a Failed package.
4. Save Package as 'Failure' to local server
5. Create another new DTS Package.
6. Add an 'Execute Package' task, and configure the properties to have it launch the saved 'Failure' child package.
7. Add an ActiveX task and then click ok to close it.
8. Select the Execute Package task (which executes the failure package), hold control and click the ActiveX task. Add an 'On Success' Precendence constraint from the 'Workflow' menu.
9. Now execute the package. Notice that the ActiveX task will execute even though the Execute Package task FAILED.
10. If you change the Precendence constraint from 'On Success' to 'On Failure' the ActiveX task will not run, because the package thinks that the Execute Package task completed with success.
In summary... if a child package, executed by an Execute Package task fails, the Execute Package Task ALWAYS "reports" success to the following precedence constraint and the package continues to run. Even if 'Fail Package on first error' is enabled. Although you will see that the task actually failed while watching the status of the package execution.
I am currently trying to write vbscript in an ActiveX task that will follow an Execute Package Task. I am trying to make the vbscript check and see if the previous task really did succeed or fail, and then make the ActiveX task succeed or fail as required to make the precedence constraints work properly.
I have replicated this problem on many different machines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any ideas for my ActiveX task? I am trying to access the StepExecutionResult from the Execute Package task, and I have been unable to. If I can get the Step Execution reult, then I can in turn cause the ActiveX task to suceed or fail, based on the execution result of the Execute Package task.
Thank you for your time,

I have this SSIS package which just doesn't seem to run when executing as a sql job and I keep getting this error:
"The command line parameters are invalid. The step failed."
I read some of the comments in forums and they were suggesting to verify the command line for the sql job since there is known bug in the command line for sql job.
But that didn't seem to resolve it and the reason could be one of the variable values that I am trying to set.
In this package one of the variables that I am trying to set is the connection string and my command line looks like this
dtexec /SQL "TestPkg" /SERVER [SVRNAME] /MAXCONCURRENT "-1" /CHECKPOINTING OFF
/SET " package.variables[User::MetaDataConnectionString].Value";"Data Source=[SVRNAME];Initial Catalog=[DBNAME];Integrated Security=True;"
When I try to run this from the command line I get the error as:
Argument " package.variables[User::MetaDataConnectionString].Value;Data Source=[SVRNAME];Initial Catalog=[DBNAME];Integrated Security=True;""
for option "set" is not valid.
I think the issue is in the set parameter where it seems to be intepreting the ;'s in the connection string as part of its command (which I seem to be escaping by putting them in quotes but it seems to be stripping them off)
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there any other escape character that I should be using?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi all,
I am new to SQL Server 2005 (but many years in SQL Server and .NET), and I am sort of having everything figured out for my company. However, one thing that still bothering me is that:
In the old Server 2000, you can execute a single step in a DTS package by right click the step and then click execute step.
In the new server 2005, I can only execute the whole package from the Management Tool and Edit the pack from VS 2005. Is there also a way for me to execute a single step in a SSIS package?
This is important for us, many thanks!
I would like to create a log of what happens with each step in the package, at least start & start time and email that at the end of the package
Is this possible?
Thanks

The package runs great when testing through vs.net on my client.
I've added the package to a job step in the sql server job agent.
When I test the new job, the package step fails, but there is no error or log information in the job history.
Wwhere can I get error information? And/or How can make SSIS error information more verbose in the job history?

Hi All,
I'm a relative novice on SQL Server and am a complete beginner at SQL, so am looking for a little help.
I currently use a DTS package to perform inserts / updates to a "production" table.
The DTS package transforms a comma separated file into a "temporary" table that is truncated / cleared before the load starts.
The temporary table has a column denoting Insert or Update. The production table is almost identical, however, doesn't contain the Insert / Update column. The DTS package then, depending upon the Insert / Update flag, either inserts data into the production table or updates data in the production table.
When the DTS package has completed, I'd like to be able to run an SQL Query that validates everything in the "temporary" table is identical to that in the "production" table, which it should be.
I have managed to do some queries to verify that everything has loaded / updated i.e. select primary_key from temporary table where primary_key not in (select * from production table), however, what I haven't been able to do is verify that all the columns on the temporary table match the values in the production table (excluding the Insert / Update flag).
I tried concatenating the columns in each table and comparing the concatenated values, however, this failed due to the different data-types, i.e. decimal, text etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Cheers,
David
I get errors when I check out an SSIS package from source control (both Source Safe and TFS) relating to the connection objects where I was not the original developer who checked it in. Is there a solution to this other than altering the connection loginpassword for every connection object in the package before deploying?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an SSIS package that uses a vb.net script to grab some XML from a webservice (I'd explain why I'm not using a web service task here, but I'd just get angry), and I wish to then assign the XML string to a package variable which then gets sent along to a DataFlow Task that contains an XML Source that points at said variable. when I copy the XML string into the variable value in the script, if do a quickwatch on the variable (as in Dts.Variable("MyXML").value) it looks as though the new value has been copied to the variable, but when I step out of that task and look at the package explorer the variable is its original value.
I think the problem is that the dataflow XML source has a lock on the variable and so the script task isn't affecting it. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem, or know a workaround?
I have created a Test SSIS Package within BIDS (VS 2K8, v 9.0.30729.4462 QFE; .NET v 3.5 SP1) that connects to our Test Listener.
There is only 1 Connection Manager Object, and OLE DB Provider for SQL Server.
The ConnectionString lists: Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI
The Test Connection within BIDS works.
The Package Control Flow has just 1 Object, and Execute SQL Task that performs an Exec on an SP that contains only a Select (Read).
The Package runs within BIDS.
I've placed this Package within a Job on the Primary Node. Ive run the job successfully using 32 bit runtime on and off. The location of the file on the server happens to be on a share that resides on what is currently the Secondary Node.
When I try to run the exact copy of this Job on the Secondary Node (Which has been Set up for Read All Connections; Yes), I get an error, regardless of the 32 bit runtime opiton. At this point, the location of the file is on the Secondary Node.
The Error is: "Login failed for user 'OurDomainAgent_Account'".
The Agent is a member of NT ServiceSQLServerAgent on both instances, and that account is a member of SysAdmin. Adding the Agent account as well, and giving that account SysAdmin, makes no difference either.
Why can't I get this to work?

I have created a SSIS package with a Foreach Loop including a Data Flow Task, which in turn include a Row Count component which pass the row count value to variable with package scope. The variable is used in an Execute SQL Task following the Data Flow Task.
The package executes successfully when executed on its own, but when executed as a child from a parent package (which only include an Execute Package Task) the variable from the Foreach Loop becomes NULL.
There are a lot of other variables in the package receiving values dynamically without any problem, the row count variable however is the only variable in the package that receives a value as part of a Data Flow (and used in following tasks within the Foreach Loop).
Why does the variable become Null? For your information, I am using a variable with package scope and no variables from the parent package are used or passed from the child package to the parent package.
(For your information, we are running the 64 bit version)
is there such a paper? if so, can you pls point me to it? thx in advance

We
have one main package from which 7 other child packages are called. We are using
ParentPackage variables to assign values for variables and database connections.
While the values from ParentPackage variable get assigned to some of the
packages properly, to others it doesn€™t assign the value.
For example:
Except for one of the packages the database connection string gets assigned
properly to all other packages.
Similarly, in another package one of the
variables doesn€™t get assigned. In other packages it is assigned properly.
We
have checked all the other property values and they are exactly the same.
We cannot make any head or tail of this erratic behavior.
Please Help.
Hi!
I hope the answer is as simple as the question -- but after reading all the documentation I could find (understand?) and a lot of posts here, I'm no closer to achieving the goal.
I have a Visual C# app, DAYTRACKER, developed in VS2005. It uses a database with several tables constructed using SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition.
I want to deploy the app plus the database plus SQL Express to another machine, to be used by a single user (the administrator) with no need for network connectivity of any kind.
What I have so far is:
1. The application is successfully deployed from a CD-ROM, having used the Publish process within VS2005, and opens on the new machine -- without database connectivity, however.
2. SQL Express is successfully deployed (it deployed as a 'prerequisite' when I went through the Publish process in VS2005)
3. I manually copied the database's .mdf and .mdl files, using SQL Server Managers 'Copy Database' function, then transferred the copies to the new machine into the ..MSSQL.1MSSQLdata folder (where they appear along with the master.mdg, mastlog.ldf etc files)
Now, the DAYTRACKER application's DAYTRACKERConnectionString under 'Settings' in the VS2005 studio reads 'Data Source=DELL3;Initial Catalog=DayTracker;Integrated Security=True' (which are the appropriate parameters for the machine, DELL3, on which I wrote the program.)
The problem, of course, is that SQL Express on the new machine doesn't connect the application to the database. When I go to the 'SQL Server Configuration Manager' and go to the 'SQL Server 2005 Services' and double-click on the 'SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)' icon (the service is running) and the user is logged on using 'Local System Account'. Under the 'Service' tab the Host Name is 'MUSIC' (which is the name of the new machine I've installed the app onto -- which of course is not the name - DELL3 - that the app's connection string is expecting). Under the 'Advanced' tab, I've tried correcting the name of the Startup Parameters default .mdf and .mdl entries to ..DayTracker.mdf and ..DayTracker_log.mdl, but the server won't start up after I make the changes.
What I'm hoping for: a step-by-step way of doing this type of deployment, preferable getting it all onto one CD-ROM, and installing it on the new machine so that it all works seamlessly from the start, not requiring any 'tweaking' of the SQLServer Express settings by the end-user.
But I'll take pretty much anything that fixes the specific db connectivity problem I've described.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I have packages stored in SQL store. I was letting users run the packages from a .net app that I made with
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Now I have noticed this causes the packages to run on the client pc cpu, as well as the network traffic is done via the client pc, in my particular case this is slow.
From the doc and in this forum I have found that you can run a package on the Server cpu through sql agent, let packages be run in a sql job. after that you can start a package from an application with the SQL sp_start_job .
But How do you set a user::varibale in a package if you have to start the package from a sql agent job ?
Hi,
I have to transport a big database table and can't read it at once with "select * from table" because the table is bigger than my system memory.
