Connection Manager Keeps External Metadata Information
Mar 2, 2007
We have a Main package and which is calling 2 more other packages.
The first package contains a connection and we are using a Dataflow task. The data flow task has OleDB Data source which is taking getting columns using a Stored Procedure. And the output we need to write in a Flat File.
The second Package also contains the same(The same Tasks, Database and Stored Procedure Calling)
The difference is in the stored procedure Parameters. Based on the different parameters Stored procedures returns the different Columns and Rows output.
When we are trying to Get the second package output in OleDb Data source it shows all the columns which is the output of the First Package because it stores External Meta Data.
So My understanding is the Connection to the same database keeps the External metadata information with the connection and because of that it is always getting the same output columns in Ole DB Data source task in the second Package also.
How to Get my correct output from the second package in this case?
Or If we dont want to store external Meta data with the Connection then is that possible? If yes then How?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all!
My problem I've been struggling with is the following. I have a set of text files (around 70), each with different column numbers and types. I define Flat File Connection Managers for each of them where I can nicely rename, set data types and omit certain columns. I do this once and this will be the basis for the rest of the data process (would be nice programmatically too actually).
I would like to pump each of these text files into SQL Server tables using CREATE TABLE and BULK INSERT (because do it one-by-one is really a pain). The question is:
is there a way to obtain column information (Script Task) from a Connection Manager so I can run CREATE TABLE-s? I just need the names, data type for each nothing fancy...
(I bumped into interfaces like IDTSConnectionManagerFlatFileColumns90, which I cannot handle from the Script Task.)
Any help appreciated!

I've developed a package that is working well at development machine from VS 2013 for a sample flat file. Also, over development machine, I've deployed it to SSISDB catalogue and even from there also it is running well for the same file.When the same package is deployed to production server's SSISDB catalogue database, it throws following error while processing the same sample flat file, “Unable to retrieve column information from the flat file connection manager”

I keep getting the following error in SSIS. Also, I don't get the error on every server the package is run on, but less than 5 (the package is run on over 100).
"The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "Timestamp" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection"
Please tell me where I need to remove Timestamp from. Thanks

Hi,
is there a way to start validation of external metadata manual?
My problem is this:
The package uses a variable as connectionstring for flatfile source, and another variable for the destination table. Running the package gives a warning about external metadata that needs to be updated. Normally I update this data by just opening the data flow, and answering the question for updating with yes. This time that deosnt work, I think because the variable is not set, so there can not be any conflicts with external metadata.
I dont want do disable validation, but just validate one time and then save the package.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Jan

Hello,
I am using the lookup transformation. I made a change on reference view, but I can't seem to get the transformation to recognize the fact that the underlying table has changed.
Is this possible? Surely you don't have to redo the entire lookup task in order to caputre a new column that is added onto a table / view.

Hi,
I have an Excel file source. I keep getting this error when running the package:
"The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "x" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection."
When I get this error with regular flat files, it's because I've changed the data type of a given column in the flat file connection manager. And I resolve it simply by double-clicking on the flat file source task, and viola - it corrects it for me.
How do I correct this with an Excel file? Help.
Thanks

I have an XML file that my XML Source component is accessing. I have noticed that is possible to set a column in the external metadata collection to a certain datatype and the matching output column to a different datatype and this doesn't not generate a warning like it does with other source components (e.g. Flat File Source Adapter).
Try it. Set a column in your external metadata to have a datatype of DT_WSTR. Set the matching output column to DT_UI8. You will NOT get a validation error. I think you should.
This behaviour was noticed on RTM (i.e. no service pack installed) by the way.
I think this is a bug. Anyone agree?

Hello,
I'm working on a custom dataflow destination component. It makes use of the External Metadata Collection. I also use Custom Properties with the external metadata collection.
When I open the destination component using the Advanced Editor, and select an External Metadata Collection and change the Custom Property it always changes back to the original value.
Additionally the method SetExternalMetadataColumnProperty never gets called.
Here is a little Test Component that surfaces the problem:
[DtsPipelineComponent(ComponentType=ComponentType.DestinationAdapter, DisplayName="Test Destination")]
public class Class1 : PipelineComponent
{
public override void ProvideComponentProperties()
{
base.ProvideComponentProperties();
ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.RemoveAll();
IDTSInput90 input = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.New();
input.Name = "Name";
input.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.IsUsed = true;
IDTSExternalMetadataColumn90 ext = input.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.New();
ext.Name = "ExtName";
IDTSCustomProperty90 customProp = ext.CustomPropertyCollection.New();
customProp.Name = "Custom Property";
customProp.Value = "Hallo";
}
public override IDTSCustomProperty90 SetExternalMetadataColumnProperty(int iID, int iExternalMetadataColumnID, string strPropertyName, object oValue)
{
return base.SetExternalMetadataColumnProperty(iID, iExternalMetadataColumnID, strPropertyName, oValue);
}
}
Any ideas how to make that work?

Hey there,Im wondering if there is a way to determine which views in my database use the "order by" statement. The reason I need this is because we need to migrate over to MS SQL 2005 where the order by statements are ignored within the views themselves. Now(in mssql 2005) you need to explicityly state the order by now when calling a view ie. select * from [viewname] order by column x, y desc, z instead of ie. select * from [viewname] where the view already had the applicable sorting done within the view.If those order by statements are ignored, some production software which rely on the ordered data will corrupt.Please let me know if there's a way to query the actual database and determine which views have 'order by' statements in them.thx

Hello,
I have a SSIS package with a Data Flow task. This task transfers the data from SQL Server 2000 to a table in SQL Server 2005.
I deployed and tested this package on the Test Server. Then put this package in a job and executed it - Works fine.
On the production server- If I execute the package through DTEXECUI, it works fine. But when I try executing it through a job- the job fails and it gives me following error:
Description: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The "external metadata column "T_FieldName" (82)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection....
What I don't understand is, why are there no errors displayed when I execute the package through DTEXECUI.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks.

Good afternoon,
I'm having the following error when I run my mining model.
Errors in the metadata manager. The dimension with the ID of 'TMP ~MC-ID' cannot be found in the '' database.
I think the error is in caseprocessor.cpp at the ProcessCase method. There's a code snippet below:
The intention of the following code snippet is to run over the attributes of a case and put them on a vector that holds all the cases.
for (UINT iAttribute = 0; iAttribute < _cAttribute; iAttribute++) {
if(iAttribute == 0)
continue;
if(iAttribute == 1)
continue;
if(iAttribute == 2)
continue;
if(iAttribute == 3) {
vet_termos.push_back(rgdmstatevalue[iAttribute].ch);
continue;
if(iAttribute == 4)
vet_dados.push_back(rgdmstatevalue[iAttribute].r8);
DBL dblValue = 0;
if (_vbCategorical[iAttribute]) {
dblValue = (_bMissingAtRandom)
? ::DblCategoricalMAR(rgdmstatevalue[iAttribute])
: ::DblCategorical(rgdmstatevalue[iAttribute]);
}
if (_viewtype == CASEREADER::viewtypeSparse) {
if (dblValue != dblMissing) {
CHECK_STL_MEM(_vdblValue.push_back(dblValue));
CHECK_STL_MEM(_viAttribute.push_back(iAttribute));
}
}
else {
_vdblValue[iAttribute] = dblValue;
}
The attributes of the table are like following:
Index (iAttribute) == 0 -> This is an auto-incremental ID and is the primary key. Integer.
Index (iAttribute) == 1 -> Another ID. Non-key on this table. It is Integer.
Index (iAttribute) == 2 -> Another ID. Non-key on this table. It is integer.
Index (iAttribute) == 3 -> A term. It's a word. This is non-key and the type is varchar.
Index (iAttribute) == 4 -> Weight of the word. Non-key and type double.
As you can notice I also changed the union DM_STATE_VALUE definition on dmalgo.h to accept the reading of a string (if (iAttribute == 3)) :
typedef /* [public][public][public][public][public][public][public] */ union __MIDL___MIDL_itf_dmalgo_0000_0002 {
DM_STATE_INDEX si;
DOUBLE r8;
char* ch;
} DM_STATE_VALUE;
So... Does anyone can help me with the error I discribed on the metadata manager ? I would be very pleased with any help.
Thanks a lot for your attention.

I have taken "EXCEL FILE SOURCE" and "SQL Server DESTINATION". It was failed on importing data. Surprisingly it works fine in SQL Server 2005 (x32). Can you please explain why it is NOT woking on (x64) ?
Here is the error code i am getting:

Hi,
I'm having an issue running the clustering algorithm in the data mining view of Visual Studio. The databases connect properly and the data subsequently loads. However, upon clicking on the "Mining Model Viewer" tab, I receive the following error message:
Errors in the metadata manager. The D Msample ~MC cube has no measure groups. Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the D Msample ~MC cube, from the file, '\?C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2OLAPDataewDM_sample.0.dbD Msample ~MC.2.cub.xml'.
We are not using a data cube, so I am assuming that this file is being called through the clustering algorithm. Furthermore, I have run the same process on different systems successfully. The only difference I can detect is that this error resulted on a 64bit system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Greetings,
I have an SSIS package that I need to modify. It was developed in Visual Studio 2005 and runs faithfully in production on SQL Server 2005. Suddenly, I can't open the package on my own workstation. I see a big red "X" image and a message stating "Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document." The real reason the document can't be loaded appears to be:
Error loading DataWarehouseLoader.dtsx: The connection type "OLEDB" specified for connection manager "Warehouse Logging OLE DB" is not recognized as a valid connection manager type. This error is returned when an attempt is made to create a connection manager for an unknown connection type. Check the spelling in the connection type name.
Does anyone know what causes this and what I can do? The package has been in production for 9 months and I've never seen this problem before.
Thanks,
BCB

I have a package that uses a for loop to iterate through an unknown amount of excel files and pull their data into a table. However, there will be cases when the file is corrupted or has some sort of problem so that either the transformation will fail or the excel data source will fail with an oledb connection error.
Could anyone suggest a clean way to trap these errors? Specifically, the "Cannot Aquire Connection from Connection Manager", which is the excel connection.
Thanks,

Hi,
Im connecting to an AS400 to retrive data with SQL Server 2005. Until now i have not pulled large amounts of data from there. My queries run fine on my local machine in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. I have run queries for up to an hour or more. The minute i put them in a SP and execute them they time out at 90 sec.
I have a linked server set up to the 400 with the connetion timeout set at 600 and the Query timeout at 600 through port 8471. Is there a port timeout on the server I need to change?
Thanks in advance for any help.

When I started Package2, it's work. I havn't errors.But when I started Package 1 I have error "Unable to get managed connection from the Connection Manager runtime". In execution log I see that ADO.NET source produced this error on verification stage. Package failed on verification stage, not on execution stage.Why when I started Package 2 it work, but when I started Package1 (and Package1 started Package2) it failed?

Hi All,
I am getting the following error if I am using the package "Transaction Option=Required" while running through Sql Job:
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "<connection name>" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
while I running the SSIS package on BI environment, I am getting the following error:
[Connection manager "<connection name>"] Error: The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D00A "Unable to enlist in the transaction.".
I know the alternative solution is to make the "Transaction Option=Supported", but in my case I have run the whole flow in a single transaction. I came to know that this has been fixed in the service pack1(ref. to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914375). FYI.. some time it was running successful.
I have taken all the necessary step to run the SSIS package in a distributed transaction(like the steps for MSDTC) and also created the package flow in a sequence.
I was going through the link - http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=160340&SiteID=1 but all those didn't solve my problem.
If anyone can help me it will be great. or it is a bug in SSIS?
Thanks.

I've defined a System DSN (and it works just fine for the classic ASP web site) and for a separate project I would very much like to determine what server its connecting to.
My environment is .Net 2.0.
On some boxes, the DSN is configured to connect to SQL Server "George" and on others it's configured to connect with "Carl." Both servers have a database named Lighhouse, I want to connect to another DB using the newer SQLConnection/SQLCommand objects. Which, don't support and ODBC DSN in the connection string. However, when constructing my connection string I need to connect to the same server that's defined in the DSN.
Is there a way extract the information from the DSN?

I have a field of text of in a flat file that the flat file connection manager Source picks up correctly 70000893?
However when it gets the OLE DB Connection Destination the data has changed to 70000896. Thats before its even Written to the database.
The only clue that something is wrong in the middle is the great Data viewer shows the number as 7.000009E+07
Other clues looking at the data it appears there is a rounding error on only the number that dont end in 00
ColA (Source) PARTY_NO (Destination)

I have a child package where the ConnectionString property of a Connection Manager is set by a Parent Package Variable Configuration. I set up a script task that brings up a message box with the value of the ConnectionString property right before the dataflow task.
MessageBox.Show(Dts.Connections["CPU_*"].ConnectionString.ToString());When I run the parent package, the message box shows that the connection string is changing with every iteration, but in the dataflow it always draws the data from the same source.
The connection manager is an ADO.Net type, RetainSameConnection is set to False, and I've been researching this for days.
(Update 2/23/2015): To make this stranger, when I look at the diagnostic logs, they tell me that when the new connections are being opened they are using the new connection strings.

Hello,
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.
Thanks

This is the first time I have used SSIS, so please bear with the ignorance.
I have a super simple package that inserts x000's of rows into a temporary table. The data source is a file that the user will upload. I need to be able to tell the package what file to upload. I'm thinking the simplest thing would be to edit the connectionString property of the SourceConnectionFlatFile at runtime. Is this possible? What form should the file path be in (UNC, other)? And, are there any other considerations I should be aware of?
Thanks!
