Connect To A DataSet Variable As A Source?
Apr 16, 2007
Hello. I€™m new to SSIS. This forum and Kirk Haselden€™s book are my teachers. I€™m having a hard time grasping something basic to get started defining a set of packages to automate the ETL process, however, and perhaps I€™m simply misunderstanding the best practices of SSIS.
I have source data in two different transactional databases, and use OleDb connection managers (and OleDb Source components in the Data Flow) to extract the data. I use a Script Task and several Lookup widgets in the Data Flow to transform the data, and output each to two different package-scope DataSet variables.
How do I join these two datasets in a third Data Flow task for loading into my data warehouse? It seems I can iterate through them in the Control Flow, but I can€™t write a query against them in the Data Flow, since there is no connection manager that allows me to €œconnect€? to a package-level variable. Should I instead be storing my extracted, transformed data in temporary database tables, and then joining these to do the final load?
Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I want to transform an xml flow to an html flow. For this, I create an XmlDataDocument, I add on it, all that I want, and I store it in a file (in a dataflow task).
After that, in an xml task, I set the input properties like that:
Operation type: xslt
SourceType: File connection
Source: ras.xml
All works fine. But now, I want to use a variable to store my xml data. So, instead of storing my data in ras.xml, I store it in a variable like that:
Dim v As Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSVariables90
Me.VariableDispenser.LockOneForWrite("RAS", v)
v("RAS").Value = doc.OuterXml
v.Unlock()
and in the xml task, I set configuration like that:
Operation type: xslt
SourceType: Variable
Source: user::RAS
But when I execute, I got this following exception:
Error: 0xC002F304 at Format HTML Mail, XML Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Root element is missing.".
Error: 0xC002928F at Format HTML Mail, XML Task: Property "New Source" has no source Xml text; Xml Text is either invalid, null or empty string.
Furthermore, when I want to debug it, in replacing the xml task, by a script task, I can see that in my RAS variable, I get the xml data which is well formed.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root> €¦
</root>
(When I store it in a file, I can see it in IE)
Have you got an idea ?

Hi,
Is it possible to use datatable/dataset as source to a report in Reporting Services. That is possible in e.g. Crystal Reports. I can only find Report Server Model and XML as non-database sources.
Best regards

Hi,
i'm working on a Data Flow which uses a "Flat Sile Source" to read a CSV-file and then sends the transformed data to a "OLE DB Destination".
What i need is a way to add a column to my transformed data which contains a value from a User-Variable.
My User-Variable contains the key for the data, and this one value shall replicate to all Rows in the DataSet.
So anybody know of an existing Data Flow component, which can do this?
Regards, Martin

I have 2 tables, #MainSample and #SampleCode
In the #MainSample, Line_ID is the Primary key
Line_ID BegMeasure EndMeasure
656 0.00 254500.00
657 0.00 7000.00
658 0.00 308000.00
659 0.00 20000.00
#Sample Code
Line_ID BegMeasure EndMeasure Code
659 665.00 9456.00 APL-XL
657 0.00 200 BHP
From this, I have to find out the segments for which there is no defined code value. I want the output as
Line_ID BegMeasure EndMeasure
656 0.00 254500.00
657 200.00 7000.00
658 0.00 308000.00
659 0.00 665.00
659 9456.00 20000.00
How to achieve this?

Hi guys,
How can I pass a parameter used for the DataSet query? I'm using this DataSet file as data source of my .rdlc report for Windows Forms.
I've already done a .rdlc report to Web Forms where I passed the query parameter by ObjectDataSource.SelectParameters, but in Windows Forms this object was not created. I just hava the following created objects:
- despesaTableAdapter (from myDataSetTableAdapter)
- despesaBindingSource (Windows.Forms.BindingSource)
- RelatorioDataSet (from myDataSet)
- relatorioDataSet1 (from myDataSet)
Any help will be very appreciated.
Tks and rgds,

I have a strongly typed dataset, and I need to be able to do a search on multiple values of a parameter. The problem is I don't know how many. I have a textbox that the user can enter search words in. The select string is built from the string of words that are entered, like this:For iCount = 0 To UBound(sArray) strSQL = strSQL & "Description LIKE '%" & sArray(iCount) & "%' OR "Next Can I do this is a dataset method? How? If I can't, what are my options?Diane

if a dataset doesnt use a stored proc to define a table variable, what is the scope of that table variable? Does the name need to be unique from such variables defined by other datasets?

I have created multiple data sources and datasets in my SSrS project. I created the datasets so I could use them as the basis for reports. However, when I open the wizard to create a new report, I am always asked for a data source, and then have to renter the SQL code that I have stored in one of my datasets. How can I have a report use an existing dataset as it source of data? Otherwise, the datasets I created seem useless . . .

Hi
I have a dataset with 2 columns, a rownumber and a servername - eg
rownumber servername
1 server1
2 server2
....
15 server15
I want to display the servernames in a report so that you get 3 columns - eg
server1 | server2 | server3
server4 | server5 | server6
...
server13 | server14 | server15
I have tried using multiple tables and lists and filtering the data on each one but this then makes formating very hard - i either end up with a huge gap between columns or the columns overlap
I have also tried using a matrix control but cant find a way to do this.
Does anybody know an easy way to do this? The data comes from sql 2005 so i can use a pivot clause on the dataset if somebody knows a way to do it this way. The reporting service is also RS2005
Thanks
Anthony

I have a SP that outputs a valid XML record set. Using a Execute SQL
Task, I can put the XML results into a string variable. When I try to
use the variable in an XML Source nothing happens and I get no error..
If I access the same XML from a file, I get the desired results.
Any ideas why?

Hi all,
I am trying to have a DataReader Source that can run
a variable which I used to store the SQL statement. For example, I have:
Variable #1
Variable name: tablename
Data Type: string
Value: "name_of_table"
Variable #2
Variable name: sql_stmt
Data Type: string
Value: "SELECT * FROM " + @tablename
I want to use DataReader Source to run Variable #2 in the SqlCommand
that connects to an ODBC connection. If it is possible by any way,
please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am using a table variable as a source in my OLE DB Source task ( I declare and populate this table variable from TSQL script) to load data in my destination table however the data gets lost after the task, ie I can preview the data from the OLEDB Source task but when I go to the next task which is multicast tranformation the data is lost, I have used data viewers to see the data but they dont have any rows, any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I read several posts on this topic and I would like to confirm my understanding.
This question has to do with parameterizing the select statement in the OLE DB Source editor. Initially, I thought I could use Data access mode: SQL command, and somehow use a user variable in there to build my Select statement.
But in researching further, it looks like I need to store the entire SQL command in a one long string variable (let's call it A), where A is built off of another variable that has my parameter. I then use A in Data access mode: SQL command from variable.
Am I correct? And is there not a way to accomplish the samething with only one variable that is your parameter value?
It seems a bit clumsy to store the entire SQL expression in a string variable.

I have a package-level variable [User::viewName], type = string, containing a view name. I want to setup an OLE DB source to use this variable value as the source, so Data access mode = "Table name or view name variable". The Variable name dropdown contains [User:viewName], so I select it. When I click OK to leave the edit dialog I get the error:
The variable User::viewName is required to be of type "VT_BSTR".
Only variables of type String occur in the Variable name dropdown; if I try changing it to a type other than string it doesn't occur in the dropdown. What is VT_BSTR and how can I change the variable type to it?

Using Jamie's, John's and Rafae post i have got this far.
My scenario demands me to do an incremental load. So i have followed your article and have created a one variable 'vDate' (Dataflow Task, Datetime, 3/3/2008) and another variable SourceSQL (Dataflow Task, String). I have set this SourceSQL evaluation to True and have added this;
"select * from stagingperfdata where startdatetime = "+ (DT_WSTR,10) @[vDate].
I want to call this within a OLE DB source, so i select the data access method to SQL command from variable. My variable name is visible and i am able to select it and then save and debug. I also have a derived column transformation to increment the variable vDate by one day.
The flow is successful but there is no records written to the target.
I tried the same query (available in the variable's value column) in SSMS and it is retrieving 12 records.
I went back to the Ole Db source and wanted to preview the data, but i get "Query timeout expired (Microsoft SQL Native Client)" error.
Am i missing something fundamental?

Hi all,I am having real problems allowing a client to connect to sql 2000through enterprise manager.. I have tried all sorts but to no avail:From our local network all works fine.. Using the adsl line.. Even ifi try and connect to the external IP and use login details..(Asopposed to connecting local and using windows accounts) I can ping andtelnet the server and port.The server is behind a firewall so i opened up port 1433 and port1434(? is it needed).. To replicate the client i took the same laptophome that i use to connect in the office.. However using the exactsame config on my dial up at home i can ping the server but cannottelnet onto port 1433.. I think that this is the vital missing stepbut do not know hpw to resolve it..Any ideas anyoneCheersAnt

We can pass XML to the XML Source in a variable, but I haven't seen anywhere how much data can be passed this way? Is there a limit beyond the limits of system memory?
Also, what data types are valid for the variable? Just String?

We are storing incoming flatfiles into a text field in a table and then we are processing this table on a regular basis. What I would like to do is to get this flatfile from the textfield and populate a flatfile source with it, but so far I have only been able to do that with XML files as there are no option for doing that with the flatfile source. Using the disk as a temporary storage for the flatfile is prohibited.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this?

Dear All,
I have created a DTS Package in Integration Services 2005.
Within the DTS Package declared a variable named xxx and passed a value 1234.
In the control flow i dropped a Data flow task and in the Property Expression Editor of DataFlow Task i defined
Property = [DataReader Source].[sqlCommand]
Expression = Variable name.
Now in the DataFlow Task Canvas dropped DataReaderSource.
How can i pass variable value to the SQLCommand ="Select * from table where name = Variable value.

Is there a way to configure the XML source component to use a schema file whose filename is in a variable? Now I know it doesn't make any sense to have an XML source whose schema can vary, however, I have a parent package with a ton of child packages, all of which process the same XML input using the same schema. What I would like to do is for the parent to load the filename of the XML input file into a variable, and the filename of the XML schema file into another. Each child would have its XML source configured to pickup these variables from the parent, so that if the location or name of the schema changes, I don't have to edit each package one-by-one. However, it doesn't seem possible to specify anything but a filename for the schema. Any suggestions?

Hi!
These problem does't look like a problem, but i am not able to solve it...
I have a stored procedure (in an Execute SQL-Task) what returns a few rows. These rows a written in an object variable. No problem.
Now i want to use these result set in a dataflow as source. How can i manage these?
1. Use a script task what returns the whole result set from the object variable? How?
2. Is there any other possibility to use the results of a stored procedure in the data flow?
All ideas are urgently welcome...

I am trying to make a SSIS package that will loop trough all files in a directory and load information from them.
I can do this with Raw File Sources since they allow me to use a variable name as the file path, but I cant seem to do the same with Flat File Sources. Is there a way to change the connection to a Flat File Source on each iteration of a loop? Actually, if this is possible with all types of file sources (like excel files) I would love to know about it too.
I was thinking about renaming the file through a script task but that does not seem like the most elegant solution so decided to see if some one here knows of a more proper way before I go that direction.

Hiya guys,
The question:
Can I design data flows with an XML Source pointing to file system xml files, and but run them against variables? I can see the properties at design time (Accessmode=0,1,2; XMLDataVar="User::XMLData), but the XMLSource object doesn't appear to have expressions enabled to change this at runtime, nor do these properties seem to be exposed to configurations.
The scenario:
I have a package that reads through (potentially thousands) of XML files, and having identified the embedded message "type", transforms them via XSLT to an easier XML format (XML Datasource can't cope well with multiple namespaces etc). Then send this the new file off to a type specific dataflow task to send contents to database.
For performance (and other) reasons I'd rather XSLT to a single shared variable and use this variable as the XML source in the data flows (Rather than writing out to the filesystem [via xslt] and immediately reading it back in each time [via datasource]).
But designing the data flow task using a variable as xml source is frustrating for a bunch of reasons - not the least being:
(a) The variable needs to be populated with sample xml data at design time. But this could only ever match one dataflow at a time (fine at run time, but painful at designtime - leading to validation errors popping up all around the place.)
Yes I could have a seperate variable for each xmlsource - but that just makes things more complicated up front and also leaves me with 20+ large, type specific, xml variables floating around at runtime of which only one is ever being used per import - which just doesn't feel right to me.
(b) populating the variable with sample xml at design time is painful due to it being a string - and not accepting hard returns etc that are in text files, design time changes etc)
Using a file XML source at design time is infinitely easier, when I get a design time change - I can just amend the XSLT and run the appropriate task to produce a sample XML file to design against.
Any ideas?
Ta.
Gus.

Hi All,
I am trying to connect to DB2 database via OLE DB connection manager in SSIS. But when I enter the SQL Query and press OK it gives following error
"Error at Data Flow Task - Header Load [OlE DB Source - Header_Load[1]]": An OLE DB Error has occured. Error Code: 0x80040E21
Additional Information:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0202009(Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)"
I followed following steps: -
1. I created OLE DB provider and tested the connection, it was successful(with give username and password)
2. Created query in Build query as following and tried executing it. It worked! Query used was
SELECT SRC_ID, ORG_ID FROM DB123.DEAL_HEADER
3. But when, in OLE DB Source Provider Task, when I press preview, It thorws the above error!
Kindly let me know, Because I am stuck at that point.
