I am using package configurations to store connectionstring for my database.
While moving the package from development to production, I used the same configuration files (without changing the connection string to point the database to production one). I ran the package in production and it updated the development database.
Then I changed the config files in production to point it to the production database.
However, the packages are still pointing to dev. database.
It seems that after running the package one in Production, it is not reading the updated config file for subsequent runs.
How to I make sure that the packages now read the latest config files.
Currently have a single hard coded file path to the SSRS config file which parses the file and provides the reporting services web service url. My question is how would i run this same query against 100s of servers that may or may not share the same file path as the one hard coded ?
Is there a way to query the registry to find the location of the config file of any server ? which could be on D, E, F, H, etc.
I know I can string together the address followed by "reports" and named instance if needed, but some instances may not have used the default virtual directory name (Reports).
Am I going about this the hard way ? Is there a location where the web service url exists in a table ? I could not locate anything in the Reporting service database. Basically need to inventory all of my reporting services url's.
I experienced a weird error while deploying my SSIS package. After running the manifest file, i noticed that one of the configuration file's path was not updated in the dtsx file. My solution has 8 packages and almost every package has 2 configuration files. Except 1 file every other config file's path is being updated. Has anybody experieced such a problem?
Does anyone have an example of a web.config file that works with Dynamic Data controls? I asked because I can't seem to arrange my "config sections" in any working order. I use 1 connection string in the web.config to establish a conversation with the database. Thanks in Advance.
Hi the data connectionstring will be generated automatically in web.config file after dragging a data table from database into webpage.for example: <configuration> <add name="SQLProfileConnString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|MSPetShop4Profile.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </> But what if I have to write the connectionString part myself, I mean where I can get the syntax of it? Thanks a lot
I have a simple SSIS package which includes one Analysis Services Processing Task. I have created a connection manager object (cmo) and assigned it to the AS task. Within the cmo I selected a specific user name and password to log on to the server with. Tested this [domain][user account] and it works. Now here is the problem. When I run the package either in debug mode or from a command line, the packages ignores the connection manager and attemps to use the account I am logged into the server with.
Using a config file to hold the credentials does not work either. When DTEXEC is used, the package attempts to use the credientials used to log in to the server.
I've been struggling with a problem I have. When I use DTEXECUI to run a package and manually add the config file, it gets ignored and there is no warning as such.
Here's the set up:
1) create SSIS package that uses a DB connection 2) enable config, add XML config, export the connection string, disable config 3) edit config file, change connection string 4) open package from Windows Explorer (double click) 5) add config file created in step 3
All of that works fine, but there are times when it doesn't. I think it depends on the editor used in step 3. If I use textpad and "pretty format" the XML (from the huge one-line built from within Visual Studio), then sometimes the changes aren't picked up. I can tell this because the "default" server in development is not accessable in production. When we "reformatted" the XML back to one line, the correct server was connected to.
I have no idea what the problem with the formatted XML was. I thought it was CRLF vs LF, but I have at least one config that formatted that way and it works fine. My current thought is character encoding when using TextPad.
My biggest problem is that DTEXECUI doesn't tell you that the config file isn't going to be used. It just ignores the "bad" config format and goes on its merry way using the information in the package itself. That really scares me.
Has anyone else seen this? What is the problem being introduced into the config file?
I think I've read to many post and now I'm confused on what the exact syntax should be and where in the web config file for connecting to my remote database on the web. I have a SQL Server 2005 database on the web. It was imported by the host from the members ID and passwords database created in Express 2005 from the ASP.Net configuration Here's the portion of the config file: <configuration> <appSettings/> <connectionStrings/>
<system.web> Here is the sample connection string my host provided: DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=sqlserver5.loosefoot.com;UID=myadmin;PWD=Your Password;database=eldersmembers Would someone show me exactly what and where the syntax for the connection string goes? Thanks in advance
Hi to all i have sql-clr function written in C#. i am performing data access opertaion using ado.net with in this function. what i want ,to store connnection string inside config file.(appesettings)i got one article about this which is bellow
I am looking for help trying to configure an XML dtsconfig file, I am using different connection managers for my Source and Destination Databases, I am also using an XML dtsconfig file to set these parameters dynamically, however I dont want to use userid/password to connect to my source/destination databases and instead use trusted connection or windows authentication, I remember we had an option in earlier DTS where we could set it up as 0 or 1and use windows authentication, I cannot find this in the new SSIS package properties.
In my SSIS packages I'm adding a config file that is storing only the connection strings to the database. Though most of my packages are reading or writing out flat files as well as connecting to a db. Do I need to put both db connection string and flat file connection strings in the config file? I'm currently adding only the db connection due to that will change depending which environment its ran in, unlike the flat file location will always remain the same.
I just want to be sure I don't need both for my package to run successfully.
This is the situation: I've a dtsx package wich creates a tab delimited txt file from a sql server 2005 databasetable. Now this all works just fine. But what I want to do is that the user can choose the destination path of that created txt-file. Right now I've declared the path when I created the flat file source.
On the net I found that a config file for a dts package (sql server 2000 - Dynamic Property Task) could do the trick...
Currently we have a 1.1 app that sets the connection string as a Application variable, we are wanting to change that and place it in the web config file, when I do this in 2.0 it's a simple process but in 1.1 it's different. It doesnt seem to like the <connection string> tag, does it go in the appsettings tag and if so what should it look like and how is it referenced.
I'm trying to get a SSIS package to run as a SQL Server Agent job. The package uses a config file. When I try to add the config file to the job under the Configurations tab. When I click on the 'Add' button, I get the following error:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xp_availablemedia', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. The user does not have permission to perform this action. The statement has been terminated. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:229)
I have few config files with db passwords in them. I have to change passwords daily into that(as my system is in UAT phase now). I have deployed my packages on SQL Server.
My question is , do I need to deploy my packages daily after password updation, or it'll automatically taken care by the SQL Server ?
I would like to use one configuration file for multiple SSIS packages. How I want to do this is to save the connection string of my production server with the initial database field excluded and set that per package file. I am able to read in the configuration file into 2 different packages without issue but I cannot see how to extract the connection string into a ODBC Database Connection object in order to set the initial database. Is there some way I am not thinking of to do this, either through the designer or programatically?
Thanks for any help you all can provide! I am so n00b to SSIS.
SO coming to my question. 1)What is it doing. I mean how is the package talking to this config file 2) Irrespective of what I do in the Connection String the package executes fine, which It should not do as far as my understanding goes. Why is it doesn't matter whats in String. where as it matter in later.
I'm trying to connect to a Sybase DB using an OLE DB connection. Now, it works fine when I run the project without the package config enabled, but when I add the Sybase connection to the xml config file, & enable it the connection fails.
This is the error I see in the progress Tab
[Connection manager "AcidPrd.basketUser"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "ASE OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Login Failed. Check for valid user ID, server name and password.". An OLE DB record is available.

I am using XML config file to store the values e.g. Server name.... it runs fine with BIDS (Development enviroment)... but when I deploy and run it to test that XML config files values are being read by e.g. giving the wrong server name, it runs fine (may be retrieving some old values). then I come bak and test it again in the development enviroment to test, it fails ( as it supposed to be caz server name is wrong in config file)
I have several packages that all use the same DTSConfig file to map the OLEDB connections. This works fine in the development environment, however when i run a rebuild with Deployment set to true i get the error
Error 75 System.ApplicationException: Could not copy file "C:Dev_TFSTowergateTowergate.BdwTowergate.Bdw.Ssis.TransformPackagePath.dtsConfig" to the deployment utility output directory "C:Dev_TFSTowergateTowergate.BdwTowergate.Bdw.Ssis.TransforminDeployment". ---> System.IO.IOException: The file 'C:Dev_TFSTowergateTowergate.BdwTowergate.Bdw.Ssis.TransforminDeploymentPackagePath.dtsConfig' already exists. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.File.InternalCopy(String sourceFileName, String destFileName, Boolean overwrite) at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Project.DataTransformationsProjectBuilder.CopyFiles(ICollection fileNames, String outputPath) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Project.DataTransformationsProjectBuilder.CopyFiles(ICollection fileNames, String outputPath) at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Project.DataTransformationsProjectBuilder.CreateDeploymentUtility(IOutputWindow outputWindow)
The DTSConfig file is included in the project under Misc in the development studio as all developers need to have access to the same config file.
The net result is that the MSI deployment package doesnt get built so we cannot do an automated delivery of the data.
Is there a work round or a setting that i can implement to remove the error?
I have manually imported my packages into SSIS (via StoredPackages/FileSystem/Import Package command). How can I utilize a ConfigFile with this package? I see that the ConfigFile can be selected when it is run (in dtexecUI ), but it doesn't "stick", and is only used for that particular run.
How can I point this manually imported package to the ConfigFile so everybody who runs it doesn't have to browse for the ConfigFile every time they run it?
I've recently uploaded my website, http://www.bigredsongbus.com, to my host. Unfortunately, they don't support the use of SQL Server Express. So, I've purchased an addon through my host - discountasp.net. I've attached my database file to their server, now all that I need to do is to change the connection string in my .config file so that it points to the SQL Server. I don't know how to do this. Any help, please?Jeffrey Way
my configuration file provides parameters that are used for an SQL query in my package. However, for these parameters it must be possible to pass NULL to the query.
This seems to be impossible in SSIS..? If the config file provides no value, the package uses a default value - and this default value can not be null.
I've created a solution with 5 packages in. I've scripted a config file for each package where I would be able to change the source file connection and the database servers (source and destination). On the first package, I am able to change the config attributes and the affects are picked up, but the rest of the packages do no pick up the changes.
For example, if the source file is "C:Filessource.txt" and this is changed to "C:Filessource123.txt" (Just to make sure it fails) it wont pick up the new changes and still uses "C:Filessource.txt".
Also, I tried changing the name of config file itself and the package still ran as if nothing had changed. It's as if it's not recognising the config file.
I am developing one SSIS package to migrate an Oracle Database to SQL Server 2005 DB through ODBC. My problem is with configuration. I have to use configuration file so that in production environment the end-user must be able to change the user credentials to connect both database servers. I am trying xml configuration file. When I try to use xml configuration, my odbc connection is giving error. But if I disable the configuration through "Package Configurations Organizer", it works fine. Using an XML Editor I checked the .dtsconfig file and entered both passwords for the both connections.
I tried logging and below are the few text from log file related to error.
Code Block User:Diagnostic, Nebu, BLRDOMNebu, DestOdbcConnection,{E3535ED4-1D21-41B9-9796-E9F5B47FFD5B}, {6820E259-18FF-4FCA-B820-73EE931D2095},12/17/2007 8:16:39 PM,12/17/2007 8:16:39 PM,0,0x,ExternalRequest_pre: The object is ready to make the following external request: 'IDbConnection.Open'.

I am using Protection level = EncryptSensitiveWithPassword for the package.
I try to add an data extension who take the information to connect to the database in a config file. But It's could not retreive the values corresponding to the key.
I'm using the class ConfigurationManager from the namespace System.Configuration.
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["QueryModel"]
Without the config file, the extension is working well.... I got the impression that reporting service and Visual Studio BI don't find the config file.
If someone can help me or have some advices. I will be pleased
I've read that a single config file can be used across multiple packages, but am unsure if it applies to what I'm trying to achieve. As an example, I have 2 packages, PackageA and PackageB. Each package has a connection manager defined - ManagerA and ManagerB and I want a single package configuration file to contain the connection string for each manager.
I can define the package configuration of PackageA with no problems. I choose XML file, define the filename and add the connection string to the config.
I then open PackageB Package Configuration and point it to the existing config file, IS tells me the file already exists and allows me to choose the option to "Reuse Existing". I then supply a configuration name and the wizard finishes, without letting me expose any properties. At this point, the configuration file still contains config details from PackageA.
If I then choose to Edit the package configuration in PackageB, I get a warning saying the config values in the config file (relating to PackageA) cannot be found, and the wizard continues. The subsequent PackageB properties which I add overwrite the existing PackageA properties.
So it would appear that what I'm trying to do cannot be done, and I need a separate configuration file for each package?
I'm using an ASP.net /SQL server Configuration to run a small database site for my company,
I have broken the database...darn
I had 4 databases in the SQL list and decided since 3 of them showed no subfolders what so ever and SQL would not let me open them saying
"you haven't got enough space on the disk or the files your trying to access don't exist" -- I'm paraphrasing but that's about the jist of it. I decided they didnt do anything and to delete these DB from the list (to be honesty i dont even know if this is what caused the problem to start with)
what i did then was register a root database, this database is the database (i believe) is used to query and store results (from the asp.net), it was located at
C:XXXXXXsecureJobBrokerDB
once i added this and found it did seam to be where the website data was coming from. i deleted two of the entrys in the SQL object Explorer that showed me the error "you haven't got enough space on the disk or the files your trying to access don't exist" i now realise this must have been a big mistake since after i removed this the system let me login but didnt let me do anything else, it alowed me to browse the pages but didnt let me query any of the DB side of the application, What have i done and how can i restore it? (we have no official backup, we do have a MASTER and A TEST DB registered in the object explorer which contain copys of the DB)
i had one idea can i use the web.config section <connectionString> to make the web site look toward either The Master OR TEST copys of the DB
<connectionStrings> <add name="classifiedsConnection" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|standguidedb.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> will this solve my problem if i edit this entry to point to another DB thats identical to the old one
for example, if i was to change my smtp server within the rsreportserver.config file, does it automatically update in realtime the second i save it or do i need to refresh something?
any insight on this would be grateful before i do anything.
