When I brought up the BI DEV studio first tiem the Connection Managers area showed up, but after I closed it by mistake from next time on wards it is not coming up.
Can some one from this form help me how to get the Connection Managers area(pane) back?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Experts,
I€™m new at SSIS and would like to try the follow easy function.
Just get some data from my database und put into a text-file.
All function going well.
Right now I€™ve got just one problem I can€™t resolve.
At the window €œConnection Managers€? are the connections I used in my project. But how can I make this connection more dynamical? E.g. I have a connection.txt file and the Connection Manager should set his properties after read this txt-file.
Have someone an idea?
Best regards,
Alex
Hello,
View 20 Replies View Relatedapologies if this is the wrong group ..
whenever I create an Integrated Services project and attempt to add a Connection Manager I get the error
Connection Manager 'blah' is not properly installed on this computer.
(Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Design)
This happens with all menu options except New Connection..
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 and made sure I have selected everything in each case
what am I missing?
Thanks

Hi,
I am unsure if i am managing my connections in the correct way... but as it stands we have them in a .dtsConfig file that each package references in order to get the relevant details..
This is working fine, except that in total our ETL project uses 6 different connections, and none of the packages utilise all 6.
This leads to an error message upon opening up EVERY package stating that there are connection strings in the .dtsConfig that are unused, yeah, thats the idea!
The way i have gotten around this, is to just include all 6 connection managers in every package, but my question is, is there a better way to achieve this same result??
are we going about this in a bit of a cackhanded way?
any incite would be useful..
Best Regards

I'm trying to create a new package and keep getting different errors. The package uses the same .NET ODBC provider as another package.
I can test the connection fine.
When I add a DataReader Source and select my connection I get the following warning:
Not all connection managers have been set. Set all connection managers.
If I click the refresh button I get this warning message:
Error at Data Flow Task [DataReader Source [6338]]: The runtime connection manager with the ID "" cannot be found. Verify that the connection manager collection has a connection manager with that ID.
All my collections have ID's and they are all read only.
If I ignore those warning I can enter my SQL command and go to the column mappings tab and see all the columns I selected but I then see several warnings all saying the same thing.
Driver does not support this function
I'm not able to close the Advanced Editor at this point.
Any ideas?
I'm trying to create a custom connection manager and I have ConnectionType in the DtsConnection attribute set to "MSMDM". When I tried to create one in a package I got:
The connection type "MSMDM" specified for connection manager "{A8543B4B-41D9-4E69-9580-3D1A491AD719}" 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.
(TestHarness1)
So, a few questions:
What are the valid connection manager types?
Why can I not create a new connection manager type of my own?
If I cant create new connection manager types then the purpose of being able to build custom connecton managers is defeated. Hence, what's the point in giving us the ability to create custom connection managers?

Greetings my SSIS friends
This is probably a silly question but what exactly is the purpose of creating Data Sources when it is possible to set up individual connection managers?
Thanks for your help in advance.
I am not seeing an option to use the OraOLEDB.Oracle driver when defining connections in ssis. This driver shows up in management studio when trying to create linked servers so I don't know why it wouldn't show up here. All the client tools are installed fine and the linked server works. Any ideas?

Hi,
My database admin just migrated my packages from development to user testing server.
My packages configured to read the connection manager properties from the .dtsconfig.
But I am getting "The connection "CRPRDNMSQEZ.CIReporting2" is not found"
CRPRDNMSQEZ.CIReporting2 is being my connection manager.
I did find and replace server name in the dtsconfig but I guess it didn't work.
Any help is appreciated.
Is there a way to dynamically create a connection manager @ run time? I would like to do this from a data set of connection strings so I can link them into a union all component.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
We are using a €œFlat File Connection Manager€? in our SSIS package.
The package fails occasionally while loading in the validation phase with the error
€œ-1073659899,0x,The connection type "FLATFILE" specified for connection manager "<some name>" 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.
This error is not returned always.
Also I feel €œFLATFILE€? is a valid type of connection manager. This value €œFLATFILE€? is inserted by the editor and not manually typed. This is a weird behavior of SSIS.
Sometimes I get this error with respect to some other connection manager used in the package as well. €œOLEDB€? is the type of that other connection manager.
Has anybody faced similar issue earlier?
Please let me know some thoughts, suggestions, and possible work-arounds to avoid this error as this is very critical for us.

Hi Experts here,
Sorry if this query had been raised earlier. While In DTS Packages we retrieve connection details for all Connections in a Package from a table and then assign them to the following global Variables
gv_Source_User, gv_Source_Pwd, gv_Source_DataSource, gv_Source_InitialCatalog
Finally we reassign these variables to repective Connection Properties using Dynamic Properties Task. After Migrating to SSIS though we are able to assign almost all variables to Properties of Connection Managers via Expression except the Password which we donot find in the drop down list in order to assign gv_Source_Pwd.
Is there any work around to assign passwords dynamically?
Many Thanks

It looks like you can only extended connection managers for data flow sources.
Is there anyway to develop a custom connection manager for the SQL destination in the data flow destinations?
I can€™t use hardcoded connection strings. I can€™t use configurations because they are not encrypted. I already have managed code that will give the corrected connection string. I already have a custom connection manager that I use from the data flow sources. I just need one for data flow destinations but I can€™t see a way to extend into the OLE DB?
Hi,
I'm trying to use an OLE DB connection manager from inside a custom log provider, but can't get the code to work - I get an exception "A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in SSEALogProvider.dll" on the last line of the code below.
I know the connection is OLE DB from looking at .CreationName.
I've tried both with & without ToConnectionManager90(), but appearently not in the right way, both cases gives the same exception.
Any tips on what I'm missing? All the examples I've seen are either creating (instead of using) connection managers, or are file based connection managers. Any and all help much appreciated!
Thanks/Kristian

If I have 6-8 queries running in parallel, Whether having a Single connection Manager (for the same source) for all the Extract performs faster or having Distinct Connection Manager for each of the extract performs faster ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedOk, I have the following table
CREATE TABLE employees (
employee_number char(6) NOT NULL
, known_as char(20)
, surname char(20)
, job_title char(20)
, manager_number char(6) NULL
, unique_identifier char(6) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
)
--unique_identifier is in the format 000123456789
Now I have a conundrum when trying to create organization charts in Visio, so I figured I'd try reproduce the format that a bunch of walkthroughs suggest, which is with the first column being an int identity(1,1) column as the employeeID with the managerID being an int column also, referencing the employeeID.
Hope I've not lost you just yet ;)
So here's what I figured - create a new table with the new integer columns, slap my current data into it and then update the managerID as necessary...
Except I can't work out the update statement for this!
CREATE TABLE gvVisioTest (
employeeID int identity(1,1)
, employee_number char(6)
, job_title char(40)
, department_reference char(10)
, managerID int
, manager_number char(6)
)
GO
INSERT INTO gvVisioTest(employee_number, job_title, department_reference, manager_number)
SELECT employee_number, job_title, department_reference, manager_number
FROM employees
GO
--Update managerID with relevant employeeID
GO
DROP TABLE gvVisioTest
Any ideas?
Oh and this is legacy so the design is flawed, modified over time (the manager field is a bodge put in 5 years ago), so yeah unfortunately I have to work with what I've got :(
I need to figure out the number of managers without listing them. Label the column Number of Managers.

I just read the release notes for SQL 2005 SP2 CTP and the 'Select All' on multi-select parameters is coming back EXACTLY as it was in the first release. If this is not the case then I apologise for the rant and request that someone clarify the situation but otherwise ....
I had to change loads of reports because it was removed in SP1, now I'll have to change them again for SP2.
Please Microsoft, stop doing this to us!
At least make it a check box option somewhere. The reasons for it's removal in SP1 still exist, but it is a nice feature to have, so just make it configurable.
I will probably have to delay installing SP2 at various customer sites because it will make my parameter lists look stupid.
This is a shame because there are some useful updates in it.

_______________________________________________
Let me explain what I'm trying to do.
In the first temp table "lowspeed," I'm trying to lump all crashes where a vehicle was doing between 1 and 10 mph.
In "notlowspeed," I'm setting up a table of crashes in which at least one vehicle was going over 10 mph.
By the third gyration, I'm trying to generate "truelowspeed;" which I thought would contain only crashes in which all of the criterion in the first two queries were satisfied and all of the vehicles involved in the crashes were doing between 1 and 10 mph (NO vehicles exceeding the 1 to 10 mph parameter).
The "pedtable" maneuver is simply to pull out any of these crashes in which a pedestrian was involved.
What I'm getting is a lot of crashes in which I have dummy records, several crashes in which one of the vehicles was going over 10 mph, and types of vehicles involved in the crash that should have been excluded by the criterion I specified.
Thoroughly stumped. Would be most grateful for any kind insight/advice.
I am getting a warning message in my SQL Server 6.5 Error log file .
The warning is
Lazywriter: WARNING, LRU LIST IS EMPTY (177 FREE BUFS,358 TOTAL BUFS)
Please help to resolve this problem.
I am currently reading through Itzik Ben-Gan's "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 High-Performance T-SQL using Windows Functions." In attempt to test the SUM OVER() function in SQL 2008 because that's what I've got. I do not currently have sample data (trying to generate it has become a major PITA), but I have some pseudocode.
My current code (actual production code) pulls a bunch of ITD (inception to date) contracts then calculates a certain dollar amount based on monthly changes. Not all contracts have values during a given month, so here's what I cobbled together a few months ago. (Per our finance team, these numbers ARE accurate).
WITH MonthlyVals AS
(SELECT ContractID, SUM(Col1 - (Col2 + Col3 + Col4 + Col5)) AS MyTotal
FROM MyTable
WHERE MyDate >= @ThisMonthStartDate AND MyDate <= @ThisMonthEndDate
AND StatementType IN (8,4,2)
[code]....
To test the totals, I also added a COMPUTE SUM(MyTotal) to the end of each query. (Yes, I know COMPUTE is deprecated. Just wanted a quick check.). The difference between the two bits of code was over 68k, with the SUM OVER() code coming up with a total higher than the CTE code. I know CTE code is correct for a fact. It went through extensive testing before getting put in Production. Is it the way I joined the table for the SUM OVER()? Or is it the use of PARITION BY?
Hi again,
How's everyone doing with 2005? I still feel like my heals are dragging a bit. The "knowledge" out there still seems a bit sparse. Am I right?
I'm about 1/5 the way through a BI book and decided the course will probably be necessary as well:
http://www.kimballgroup.com/html/kucourseMDWD.html
There seems to be a lot to come to grips with.
So that's all paid for.
It's been years since I've been on a course of any kind. Too busy working! What's the etiquette? Trousers and T-shirt? Tie? Sandles & three quarter lengths?
This particular course seems to cover the "general overall approach" - which I am pretty sure is a necesary part of what you need to be able to do. The book that is related to the course (which I have already bought) seems really helpful and valuable.
But I don't think it will cover the nitty gritty of SSIS - where most of the grunt work happens. They have another course for that. But I can't wait that long. You can spend your whole life just reading books!
Are all the new little things in 2005 SSIS just a little to specialised? A little too clever? Does it limit us? Or empower us? Can we use it to get the job done? Or will it be a case again of "clever workarounds" when we travel far down a road that we find out (when it's too late and we are committed) can't provide us with what we want. Is it really saving us time? Are we better off writing the scripts ourselves?

Hello:
I see some packages in the MSDB folder in Mgmt. Studio that I cannot figure out where they are coming from. The SSIS project in BIDS does not contain them, I do not see it in the Deployment folder, nor do I see it in the destination folder to which the manifest file deploys the packages. Which folder location am I missing? Each time I delete them they keep reappearing when I deploy.
