Configure Connection Strings For Deployment To Different Servers
Sep 29, 2006
Hi,
We currently have a test and development environment for our data warehouse which is using SSIS packages to build (SSIS packages call stored procedures). We have multiple connections accross the different packages. The problem that we are having is when we deploy the packages to the development environment, the connection strings in the packages are still pointing to the live server! Hence, when we run these packages in the test environment, they actually execute the stored procedures in our live server.
I have tried to use package configurations and the deployment utility to assist us in this regard but have still come up with a few problems:
- When running the deployment utility, I still have to go and manually type in the data source the connection string must use - Is there maybe a way to use some sort of a variable that will automatically set this dependant on the name of the server that you are deploying to?
-It seems, even when I deploy to my live server, if I change the data source to point to my live server, it goes and changes the data source for the packages on my test server to point to the live servesr as well/
Basically, what I would like at the end of the day is to just be able to select the server the packages must be deployed to, and the connesction strings must be set automatically to either the test or live server dependong on which one I deploy to. Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance

I€™m interested in reading about best practices or
recommended deployments for MS SQL 2005.
Currently our company owns 8 x SQL 2005 Enterprise Processor licenses. We have 4 HP DL380€™s with the following
configurations:
6GB RAM
Mirrored
72GB drives for OS (Windows 2003 Ent R2)
4TB Shared
storage (SAN) (15K Fiber Channel)
Dual 3.6GHz
Processors
We would like to create a highly available data
warehouse. We considered running the
SQL engine on one set of servers (Cluster 1) and running the reporting, analysis,
browser, etc., services on the other set of servers (Cluster 2).
Is this possible with MS SQL 2005?
How do we install and link all the servers together?
Is this a poor design?
With the above hardware and software, what would be the best
deployment for availability, distributed processing, speed, and reliability and scalability?
Thank you.

I had posted this in the following pre-existing thread :
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=89737&SiteID=1
Also wanted to start a thread on this to see if I can get some suggestions. Any suggestions on how to do this are appreciated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Books-Online quote:
>> In Integration Services, data sources are design-time objects that you use when you build packages in SSIS Designer.
This is indeed the case but why? I would like to see it changed or provide some way of including the data source in some kind of a "solution/project configuration", the same way one can create a "package configuration" right now.
If one can build a project, and create a deployment utility to deploy the entire project (all packages), it is incoceivable why one shouldn't be able to set configurations at a "project" level.
Right now I am having to create package configurations to configure my connection setting for dev/test/prod etc environments. But the trouble is, if I have 10 packages each involving 3 connections in my project, I have only 3 data sources in my project, but come deployment time, I'm having to create 10 package configurations, and set my ConnectionString (which is different for dev/test/prod etc) 30 times during deployment.
If there is a better way to do it, I would like to know. Otherwise, this is what I would like to see in the next SP.

Hi everyone:
I have a package(SSIS) that works fine on a local SQL Server. Once I deploy it to the server A, and change the connection strings, it throws the following error:
Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "DatabaseName" failed with error code xxxxx.
Error: component "OLE DB Destination"(16) failed validation and returned error code xxxx.
Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error Code: 0x80040E4D. Al OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Description: "Communication Link Failure"
Error: Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error Code: 0x80040E4D. Al OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Description: "TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host."
Error: Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error Code: 0x80040E4D. Al OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Description: "Login failed for user 'username'."
I have confirmed from my Network Engineer that this is not a Network issue. I can connect to the the target sql server from SQL Server A(where the package is running). The only thing that has changed is the connection string. In my package I connect to a local database on the server, and a remote SQL server. The connection to the local sql server works fine from the package. The remote SQL Server connection string is not working, I think. I also noticed that after I enter my password in the conn string, within the VS 2005, after building it, and deploying it on the server, I check back the conn string, and it is no longer there. I have read some posts about it, and I understand that SSIS hides it. What is the work around here? I have never used config files for SSIS, so I would need exact instructions to do that, if that is the way to go. Has someone else ever ran into this error? I have seen some posts on the forum with similar error, but they are not providing any solid answers. In my case, I need to know how to implement either a config file for conn strings, or how to deploy with conn strings which retains password. I can connect to a remote SQL Server from SERVER A utilizing SQL Management Studio, therefore any firewall/port issues are not relevant. I feel the issue is with conn strings, and I need some solid advise on how to implement them especially, where in my case, one of my connections is to a remote sql box, utilizing Sql server authenticaion(which involves use of password). Thanks.
Here is how my current connection string looks like and notice there is no attribute for password:
Data Source=192.1.1.1xxx;User ID=username;Initial Catalog=databasename;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Persist Security Info=True;

I have 2 servers. DWTEST and DWSQL1. I developed my packages connecting to DWTEST in the design time. I have 32 packages, one of them is the master one and the others are child packages.
package PM calls P1, P2, P3,.......P31
i have 2 data source in my project. RDS and S0, both setup to connect DWTEST in the design. i defined rds_connection_string and s0_connection_string variables in my master package and created an XML config file and put those variables into that config file.

when i deploy my packages into DWTEST and run them as a SQL Server Agent job they work because data sources are signing to DWTEST already.
when i am deploying them(using the same manifest file in the deployment directory i wrote above) into the server DWSQL1, i select config file source as:

and update data source strings in it to DWSQL1:

When i run SQL Server Agent Job i defined in DWSQL1(forcing it to use DWSQL1 data source in step definition), my master package PM connects to DWSQL1, and my child packages don't use my config definitions and connect to DWTEST which is defined in the design time.
How can i force all my packages to connect DWSQL1 server using the same built files in deployment directory WITHOUT editing my packages(recreating config files or changing the definition of Data Sources and then built the project again) in Visual Studio?

All --
Please help.
I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005.
Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string.
Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference.
Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS...
(A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean?
(B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string?
(C) Are there any alternatives?
(D) What do you suggest?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Hi,Is there a way to control the connection pools using SQL Server 2000? Iknow how to alter the connection string to dothis(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ry/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconconnectionpoolingforsqlservernetdataprovider. asp), but I amlooking for a setting in SQL Server that allows me ultimate control over allconnections to the DB. eg: I'd like all connection pools to timeout after5min of inactivity, set the maximum pool size, etc. I am assuming that thereis some part of the GUI that allows this, or maybe even some (ugh) registryediting! ;-)Thanks,Lance

I developed an application and deployed it onto a hosted provider. I use SQL 2005 Express for development SQL 2000 for production. Both systems work.
I backed up my production database and wish to use it for my development testing. I restored it as a SQL 2000 database on my development machine and changed my connection strings to point to it. I added it as a new Data Connection in Database Explorer and can see all of the data through it, but I see that all the tables now have the owner name in parenthesis as part of the table name.
My application now fails trying to find any of the tables. It works if I include the owner name as part of the SELECT statement. So much for data separation.
I don't know where to start. Is this an issue between SQL 2005 Express and SQL 2000, or is it an issue between SQL and ASP.NET, or is it a hosting provider issue, or what?????

Hey guys, don't know if this is in the right place but here goes.
I'd like some advice on optimizing the way I write my code. Here's the scenario. I have a select string for 3 different tables. One for the main gridview, and two others that are binded to dropdownlists.
So I created a Sqldatasource1,2,3 and had to create the connection strings for each one.
ex. SqlDataSource1.ConnectionString = "blah", SqlDataSource2.ConnectionString = "blah", SqlDataSource3.ConnectionString = "blah"the thing is, the connection string itself is the same. Is there a way to consolidate that? So that when I use a select/update/insert command for each sqldatasource i dont have to have another connection string? Also, having multiple connectionstrings, does that slow down the performance?

I have created a SSIS package, and got it to perform as I want.
I am having a problem though with connecting to my data source (OLE DB Source) using SQL Server Authentication.
If I use Integrated security, I have no problems. If I use SQL Server Authentication, I get errors.
Here is the connection string that works:
Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=.SqlExpress;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=MyDataBase
Here is the connection string that fails:
Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=.SqlExpress;Persist Security Info=True;Password=**********;User ID=myUserid;Initial Catalog=MyDataBase
The strange thing is that when I use the Connection Manager dialog screen and click on "Test Connection", I get the response that the connection succeeded. It is only when I try to run the task that I get an error.
Here is the error I am getting:
[OLE DB Source [1]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "MyDataBase" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "MyDataBase" (1) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C.
I have eliminated the obvious errors (incorrect Userid or password). Also, I am unable to use Integrated Security as this package needs to be distributed to various systems that may or may not be on our company's primary domain.
It seems I am missing something really basic here, but am not seeing it.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
I am looking to allow a user to select which database they need to connect to, and then for them to be able to use that connection string until they choose a different database. I have a separate database specifically to hold the list of databases with the respective connection strings, and various forms that are currently looking at the web.config for the connection string. Unfortunately, I can't just put all the connection strings into the web.config as the number of databases available to the user will increase on a weekly basis which will be handled by a database administrator, so I want a user to select from a list of databases (for which they have permissions), and for that connection string to remain for that user. Potentially there will be 20 or more users each connected to a different database (all SQL Express).
If anyone can provide any help on this I will be truly thankful as I've hunted on the internet for hours and have been unable to find anything that has helped.
Thanks in advance.

Dynamic connection strings
I have found lots of people asking for something similar to this but cannot find any solutions - can you help?
I am developing an application (ASP.Net2) in which users are associated with 'Clients' and every Client has their own SQL Server database.
Users are authenticated using standard ASP.Net Authentication via a separate database (common for all users). This includes a table linking them to a Client and each Client record includes the connection string to their database. Currently a default connection string is held in the web.config file.
My problem is that I don't know how to dynamically change the connection string after a user has logged on. I have a large number of databound controls, many of which are declared and some are coded in the VB.Net code behind. I know I can use code behind to change the connection string for a SQLDatatSource:
I thought I had it cracked with the following:
Public objClientConnection As New ConnectionStringSettings
Public Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)If Session("ClientDBConnectionString") <> "" ThenobjClientConnection.ConnectionString = Session("ClientDBConnectionString")objClientConnection.Name = "ClientDBConnection"objClientConnection.ProviderName = "System.Data.SqlClient"ElseobjClientConnection = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("WebTool1ConnectionString")End IfEnd Sub
The session variable Session("ClientDBConnectionString") holds the client specific connection string and is populated when the user logs on. If this is not populated then the connection string defaults to one collected from web.config. This should ensure there is always a design time connection string available.
The trouble is, when I try and declare the SQL data souce like this:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="dsTest" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%# objClientConnection.ConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="usp_SEL_DocumentTypes" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure" ></asp:SqlDataSource>
I get an error: The ConnectionString property has not been initialized.
I have been going around in circles on this for days and would really appreciate some help. Am I on the right lines? What needs to change to make it work? Is there a better way?
Many thanks,
Cliff

Hello,
I'm trying to setup a typed dataset with a table adapter in .NET 2.0, and the problem I am having is that I cannot get the table adapter to use existing connection strings setup in the web.config file. How can I get it to do so? It doesn't see the connection strings, and so it wants me to create a new connection, which I don't want to do.

I should start by saying that I'm new to SQL Server and ASP.NET. My question is about connection strings. With so many possibilities of these strings, how will I ever know what is best to use or try when one does not work. Is there a rule of thumb or an article or even a book that someone can recommend? Something that will demystify this part of working with the SQL Server and ASP.NET?

I am trying to construct a connection string via iSeries OleDb provider. The default list of libraries on the AS400 for my user is fine for production. But in test scenarios the code/data libraries are rolled out through a sequence of test libraries. How do I specify the additional libraries for testing.
I connect fine and can execute sql. the statements like insert into TestLibrary.Table work fine, but the associated trigger code isn't called.
Would it be better to use the .Net Connection set of classes instead. I switched from ODBC to OleDb because of assumed thread safety issues.

Hello everyone! I am having some more problems while trying to get my site online. I built the site offline using Visual Web Developer Express Edition, and used "SQL Server Express" that comes with ASP.Net. Therefore, I have the ASPNETDB.mdf and mydatabase.mdf in the App_Data folder. Now, on my local machine everything runs fine. When I tried to put the site online however, I get the following error:An error has occurred while establishing a connection to
the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be
caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not
allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26
- Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) This is the connection string in my web.config file: <connectionStrings> <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|mydatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> </connectionStrings> Now, my web-host does have SQL Server 2005. Does my ASP.Net application use that though, since I have it running just through SQL EXPRESS? Also, does anyone know where I could change my "SQL Server 2005" settings? My web-host uses Plesk 8.2.0, and the database managing program is "ASP.Net Enterprise Manager", but I can't find any options anywhere to change the Server settings to allow remote connections. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Markuu

Hey all,
I'm coming from ASP and I used to have a global connection string accessible to all of my ASP pages that I'd use for all of my data access. This was really convenient because I could easily switch to a backup or local data source for testing/debug by changing the connection string in one place.
Now, I'm using ASP.NET with Web Matrix and I love the drag and drop functionality but its dropping my connection string all over the place. How can I do this and keep my connection string in one spot so I can have the same convenience of switching data sources.
Thanks in advance!

I've been planning on putting all my connection strings for my SSIS packages into package configurations. So far, I've been using XML config files, and these strip out the passwords in connection strings which then have to be retyped every time in notepad.
Has anyone got some better guidance regarding this? Could I use another type of package config to avoid this problem?
My contraints are such that I cannot use integrated security for the packages, so the password MUST be in the connection string. However, I can place the config files in a secure location where only the package and admins have access to them.

I created a couple of Data Sources, setting them up as I have done for OLE DB connections and then deleted that connections, and created them (recreating the connections using create connection from Data Source).
But when I open them again it gives me a dialogue box (Synchronize connection string) stating following message:
This package contains at least one connection which is based on a data source. The connection string for connections and data sources listed below are currently not identical. Connection strings of connections will be updated to reflect those on the data source.
I am also using connection string variable (through Expression builder) with Package configuration for those connection
Can any tell me the solution of this problem?
I have read, in one of the forum, as a BUG but I m sure it is not as i had this problem previously on my old system but it was gone somehow (I dont know how?)

Hello
I made certain changes in the properties in my Config file and by Change the ServerName and Database Name.
below is the example
When i execute the package it still runs. I mean theer is no server or database with that name but it still works.
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[ConManName].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>Data Source=UHS137;Initial Catalog=UH_IntegrationStaging;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>
Changed to
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[ConManName].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>Data Source=NOSvr;Initial Catalog=NOdB;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>
Then I created a new config file in which I checked in the box for ServerNam and when i change the name teher in the Config file
EXAMPLE
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[ConManName].Properties[ServerName]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>NoSvr</ConfiguredValue>
and when executed teh package its fails.
Thats what I neede
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.

Since we made some 'improvements' on our package deployment I feel I am going crazy!
This is what changed:
We created LOCAL.dtsConfig (UAT...) files.
This local file resides say at C:DWDWPackagesDWPackages.
We have user environment variable called DW_XMLCONFIG which has value C:DWDWPackagesDWPackagesLocal.dtsConfig
in this Local.dtsConfig file I have following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DTSConfiguration>
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Variables[User::varPkgDir].Properties[Value]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>C:DWDWPackagesDWPackages</ConfiguredValue> </Configuration>
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Variables[User::varErrlog].Properties[Value]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>C:DWDWPackagesDWPackages</ConfiguredValue> </Configuration>
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Variables[User::varSource].Properties[Value]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>Data Source=SQL2;Initial Catalog=_ODS2;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;</ConfiguredValue> </Configuration>
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Variables[User::varTarget].Properties[Value]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>Data Source=LPET06VPC02SQL2K5Local;Initial Catalog=DW_Dev;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;</ConfiguredValue> </Configuration>
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Variables[User::varTargetNET].Properties[Value]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>Data Source=LPET06VPC02SQL2K5Local;Initial Catalog=DW_Dev;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;</ConfiguredValue> </Configuration>
</DTSConfiguration>
Any package I open gives me following dialog box
Synchronize Connection Strings
with Connection, Data Source and
Old Connection =Data Source=LPET06VPC02SQL2K5Local;Initial Catalog=DW_Dev;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;
New connection =Data Source=sql11;Initial Catalog=DW_UAT;Integrated Security=True
All of my packages have connection called TargetNet.
My question; Why it does not pick up value from dtsConfig file instead using connection under Data Sources (TargetNet).
thanks a lot!
