Hi everyone,
Is Microsoft thinking over the possibility to implement Control+Z in order to avoid drawbacks when you're writing a package? I mean, when you drop a container then you aren't able to retrieve again
.
That same behaviour happened with Sql2k-dts.
Thanks in advance and regards,
I was just wondering what would be a preferred approach in designing the tables against checkboxlist?
For example I have 3 checkboxlist:
chklVendor
chklModel
chklColor
and each will have lets say 4 - 5 list items.
Here are the different types of approaches that I've seen when designing database tables:
1. Creating tables for each checkboxlist.
2. Creating a single table and storing the values in a comma delimited format.
3. Using XML
Also these attributes will be used in the search form as one of the fields.
Hi,
I am new to SSRS.
I have created simple report using reporting services, In which i am using one List element and inside that 8 text boxes and a table, in which 4 texboxes is used as lable and remain 4 textbos is value from dataset and table displays details as below for each unquie call number with table header marked in red color. When i click preview i get below report(Report 1) for call number 4 and 10 records in table which is under list. But for call number 4 still 6 records as to be display in next page with text boxe element which marked in Green color in Report 1. Now i am getting report with out List element i.e (Report 2 given below )

hi all of you,
I haven€™t idea if the following description is a issue or not, anyway:
I begin from Control Flow layer.
I€™ve created a sequence container and inside I€™ve got two groups, one own a sql task and another one own a Data Flow task. Both are linked for a completion conector. Up to here everything is fine. But when I collapse my sequence container the arrow remains there for these tasks and you can see the sequence container €œclosed€? and the arrow lonely.
Not very esthetic, not practical.
Any clarification or though will be as usual welcomed
 I currently have a DB that is growing at a rate of 10gb per month. It is set to 1mb unrestricted growth and the log file is set to 400mb restricted growth. I take regular transaction log backups so the log file is well under under without any issue. This DB's recovery model is set to FULL as it has to be mirrored to a backup site.  Any recommendations on how to control the growth. - Is it advisable to take create a new DB with data older than 2 years and transfer that file to an external drive and if i do this, can i "attach" it back to the main server if and when required ?

When I'm designing a merge join in BIDs, in particular a large one with say a couple hundred columns on the left part of the join (and only 1-2 columns on the right side), it takes 2-3 minutes to close and I notice it pegs the CPU on the computer during that time. I'm developing on a quad dual core 64 bit machine with 32 Gb of RAM.
What makes this problematic is if you have a several merge joins in the pipe, and you do something like add a column. Then you have to re-open every merge join to include that column, waiting 2-3 minutes for it to close. So adding a column to a pipe with 10 merger joins will take 20-30 minutes, most of which is just waiting for edit boxes to close. I've tried the options of "work offline" and setting the ValidateExternalData to false in the merge join property but those don't help. Anyone encounter this problem?
Thanks,
Lee
I'm running my job from the command line using DTExec as follows:-
DTExec /FILE "C:MyPathMyPackage.dtsx" /CONFIGFILE "C:MyPathMyDtsConfig.xml" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 "
When I log in as Administrator the package runs perfectly.
When I log in as Domain User (the one I really want to have running the package) I get:-
Started: 10:49:08 PM
Error: 2007-11-30 22:49:08.30
Code: 0xC0011007
Source: {807048F4-DE2A-465E-B9A7-82E163791556}
Description: Unable to load the package as XML because of package does not have a valid XML format. A specific XML parser error will be posted.
End Error
I have checked, and the Domain User has
"Full Control" permissions to the directory the package is in and
"Full Control" permissions for the DTSX file and
"Full Control" permissions to the directory the dtsConfig is in and
"Full Control" permissions for the dtsConfig fileAny suggestions as to what is wrong?
Hi all,
I have a Send Mail Task in my control flow to notify users that the processing is done. I want to avoid the package to fall in error if the Send Mail task failed.
What is the best practice to do that ?
Should I raise the MaximumErrorCount of theSend Mail Task ? Should I play with ErrorHandler ?
Can anybody give me design ideas on the following?
I have numerous tasks, any one of which can fail. I want to point them all (via 'Failure' constraint) to a SendMail task for a "failure notification" email. This I have setup, and is working fine. Now, I want to have a changing message for the email's body (MessageSource) to say "Process A has failed", or "Process B has failed", etc.
My initial thought was to add a variable, then add a ScriptTask between each task and the single SendMailTask, have the script update the variable, and have the MessageSource (body of email) mapped to the variable. Is this the proper way to go about this? Seems like if I have 20 processes that could fail, then I'll have to add 20 script files; this becomes a bit unwieldy the more processes that I want to monitor.
Is there a better way to accmoplish this?
Thx,
Mojo
Hi,
Does any one have a workaround this issue. If I designed a package from SQL2000 and save it on SQL 7, I can't open/execute it from SQL 7.0. My workstation is SQL 2000 and the server is SQL 7.0, even if I have the same SQL 7 but different SP.
Thanks
Hi all,I'm fairly new to this...I't trying to design a DTS package on SQL Server 2000`, which willconnect to the server, export some table date into a .txt file (basedon a select statement) and then delete the data from the table (basedon a delete statement) upon successful completion of the export.So far so good..Now, upon the successful deleteion, I want to export some more data andthen (upon the successful export) to delete the data. I want to repeatthis process approx. 10 times.Though, when I try to link the deletion to the new export on success, Iget the message: "Defining the precedences between the selected itemsis not valid."Any idea on how I can accomplish what I want to do?thanks a lot

This proably is an unsual request. I have developed a package that runs fine and does what it is supposed to do. I am jsut not sure if I have developed it in the most efficient way. I have several years of ETL experience but only about 6 months with SSIS. I know I can benefit a lot if I had my package reviewed by an expert.
I realize that I am asking for some time committment on your part and so would understand if I do not get any takers. But if you would like to review my package and offer suggestions on its improvement please let me know. We can work on the logistics of getting the package to you.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have designed a quite small SSIS package and everything worked just fine .
Untill I moved the SSIS project folder to another solution folder and added whole solution to Visual source safe.
Since then opening the package for design has become unbelievably slow, debugging it even worse.
I think the cause is in moving the SSIS project folder. But I have no idea how to fix this.
Any suggestions ?

Hi
I am busy designing a ETL solution and have a question about how to design the packages.
We have over 30 source systems for different customers. We are building a WH that will combine all this data for analysis. The main issue is that these systems are always at different versions of the software. When a patch is released, it usually goes to one or two for a Beta process before it moves to the rest. These patches can affect the DB design, and we would want to be able to extract any new data as it comes available from the systems that have it.
Solution 1 - Package Versions
The idea was to create the SSIS packages with a version number in their name. For each change, you would create a new version. The Batch control application that is being developed will store which system needs to use which version of the package.
Solution 2 - Multiple paths within a package
This was to create a single package for each table, with a conditional split as the first task. The batch system will still provide which path the package needs to take with different Data Flow tasks containing the different column mappings.
Both have pros and cons, but was wondering if anyone has experience with this type of setup and which way worked best, or if there are any other options.
Many Thanks
Michael
Greetings SSIS friends,
I am in the process of designing a package for populating a Dimension table for my new data warehouse. I would like to discuss with you my proposed solution in the hope that some of you will be able to advise me on any mistakes that I have made so far.
I have 3 source tables which are used to populate my Dimension table (I will restrict each source table to a few columns to keep this simple).
The source tables are :
Meetings (MeetID, NameID, Meeting_Start_Date, Meeting_End_Date, Meeting_Time_Stamp)
Events (EventID, MeetID, Event_Start_Date, Event_End_Date, Event_Time_Stamp)
Names (NameID, Long_Name, Short_Name, Names_Time_Stamp)
My Dimension table structure is very basic as follows :
Product_DIM (EventID, MeetID, Meeting_Long_Name, Event_Long_Name..... Meeting_Time_Stamp, Event_Time_Stamp)
Please note that I haven't included the start and end dates to keep this simple, but in my real solution, the Dimension table has many more columns.
The Meetings and Events tables contains hundreds of thousands of records so when my package is run, I should only retrieve information that has changed since the last time my Dimension table was populated. This is why I store the time stamps in my Dimension table.
So when my package runs, I get max(Meeting_Time_Stamp) and max(Event_Time_Stamp) from my Dimension table then retrieve all records from the source table where their timestamps are GREATER than the max values.
The problem is this :
If in the source system, an event is changed, the time stamp associated with that record will change value but the meeting record associated with that meeting will not have its time stamp changed.
How do I ensure that when my package is run, I retrieve all meeting and events information even if one hasn't changed?
Should I build a table made of IDs?! And if I do need to build a table made up of IDs, should I store this as a permanent table in my database or is there an SSIS data structure I can use to hold this information?
I hope this makes sense!
We are downloading 4 large (500mb) zip files in the package. Those come from 4 different FTP sites. Sometimes the FTP download on one of those fails.
Zip files contain images which need to be uploaded for existing listings. Each zip file is processed the exact same way. The question is how can I make the SSIS package so that each downloaded zip file can be processed immediately after the download - and not duplicating the processing logic?
Hello,
I am new to SSIS. I need to transfer data from SQL Server 2005 Operational Database to SQL Server 2005 Report Database. The upload needs to work every night. There are few master tables and remaining are transactions tables.
I am planning to create 2 packages one for master tables and other for transactions tables.
Is it the good approach?
Also few of transaction tables are heavy in terms of number of records. Will it better if i further break them in many packages?
I am using book "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services Step by Step".
Can you suggest any other good book?

Win 7 SP1 x64 PC. I installed SQL Server 2014 Dev Edition + Visual Studio 2015.
I'd like to create some basic ETL SSIS packages, and I worked very comfortably in 2008R2.
For 2014, I started with this tutorial:[URL]However, it says to go to Start->All Programs->Microsoft SQL Server->SQL Server Data Tools.Â
I did explicitly install SSDT when I installed VS2015. I also installed it separately. I see SSDT listed in Programs, and SSIS is running according to SQL Server Config Manager, and Services. Half of Microsoft's docs seem to be 2012 era, which is a shame because 2014 is out and it's nearly 2016...
how do I get to the GUI where I can design ETL packages?Â
OK, I was able to successfully migrate all of my DTS packages to SSIS, for SQL 2005. I can log into intergration services and see my packages listed under:
servername --> stored packages --> msdb. Now my question is, how can I open these packages, not run them open them in a design mode like you can in SQL 2000, you can double click on the package name and view the design of the package. how can i do that now that I have them in SQL 2005?
Hi All,

does any one have and example of how to embedd a flash swf file onto a report.??? Is it possable? any examples would be helpful.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi i tried designing a SSIS package which loads only those rows which were different from existing rows in the table , i need to timestamp the existing row with an inactive date when a update of that row is inserted (ex: same studentID )
and the newly inserted row with a insert time stamp
so as to indicate the new row as currently active, in short i need to maintain history and current rows in same table , i tried using slowly changing dimension but could not figure out, anyone experience or knowledge regarding the Data loads please respond.
example of Data would be like
exisiting data
StudentID Name AGE Sex ADDRESS INSERTTIME UPDATETIME
12 DDS 14 M XYZ ST 2/4/06 NULL
14 hgS 17 M ABC ST 3/4/07 NULL
New row to insert would be
12 DDS 15 M DFG ST 4/5/07
the data should reflect
StudentID Name AGE Sex ADDRESS INSERTTIME UPDATETIME
12 DDS 14 M XYZ ST 2/4/06 4/5/07
12 DDS 15 M DFG ST 4/5/07 NULL
14 hgS 17 M ABC ST 3/4/07 NULL
Please provide your input as much as you can even though it might not be a 100% solution.
Hi,
I would like to design a SSIS package, which have couple of variables. It loads a xls file specified in a variable [varExcelFileFullPath] .
I will run it by commands: exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /SQL ....' (pls see an example below).
It seems it does not get the values passed in for those variables. I deployed the package to a sql server.
are there any grammar errors here? I copied it from dtexecui. It worked inside Dtexecui not in dos command.
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /SQL "LoadExcelDB" /SERVER test /USER *** /PASSWORD ****
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW
/LOGGER "{6AA833A1-E4B2-4431-831B-DE695049DC61}";"Test.SuperBowl"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varExcelFileName].Properties[Value];"TestAdHocLayer"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varExcelWorkbookName].Value;"Sheet1$"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varExcelFileFullPath].Value;"D: estshareTestAdHocLayer.xls"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varDestinationTableName].Value;"FeaturesTmp"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varPreSQLAction].Value;"delete from FeaturesTmp"

UPDATE #2: When it said "Do you want to install Microsoft SQL Server" I said "yes" and that caused it to work. I exited and re-ran and now the print runs w/o the "install SQL Server" (If the prompt had said "Do you want to install the print dialog" we wouldn't be having this discussion...)
UPDATE: After posting this i discovered that the same thing occurs when attempting to print the report direct from IE6: First a dialog pops up "Do you want to install this software?" Name: Microsoft SQL Server. When I click "Don't Install" I get the dialog "unable to load client print control." Since this happens direct from IE6 I suspect it's browser settings. I'll resume tomorrow and post a followup.
My WinForm C# app integrates Reporting Services by calling them from WebBrowser controls. The problem is attempts to print cause a dialog: "unable to load client print control."
I've read prior posts that say "enable Active-X in your browser" - I don't know how to do that from a WebBrowser control.
Any ideas how to support Reporting Services "Print" from within a WebBrowser control?

How to design tables in SQL Server for the above.
Ok, I'm doing a football database for fixtures and stuff. The problem I am having is that in a fixture, there is both a home, and an away team. The tables as a result are something like this:
-------
Fixture
-------
fix_id
fix_date
fix_played
----
Team
----
tem_id
tem_name
-----------
TeamFixture
-----------
fix_id
tem_id
homeorawayteam
goals
It's not exactly like that, but you get the point. The question is, can I do a fixture query which results in one record per fixture, showing both teams details. The first in a hometeam field and the second in an away team field.
Fixture contains the details about the fixture like date and fixture id and has it been played
Team contains team info like team id, name, associated graphic
TeamFixture is the table which links the fixture to it's home and away team.
TeamFixture exists to prevent a many to many type relationship.
Make sense? Sorry if this turns out to be really easy, just can't get my head around it at the mo!
I would like to create a table called product. My objective is to get list of packages available for each product in data grid view column while selecting each product. Each product may have different packages type (eg:- Nos, CTN, OTR etc). Some product may have two packages and some for 3 packages etc. Quantity in each packages also may be differ ( for eg:- for some CTN may contain 12 nos or in other case 8 nos etc). Prices for each packages also will be different that also need to show. Â How to design the table..Â
Product name  : Â
Nestle milk |
Rainbow milk
packages  :
CTN,OTR, NOs |
CTN, NOs
Price:
50,20,5 |
40,6
(Remarks for your reference):CTN=10nos, OTR=4 nos Â
| CTN=8 Nos
I copied and added an existing package as a new package to a project and have been having trouble with settings reverting to those for the original package after I modify and save the changes for the new package. Sometimes happens with the save itself, other times it happens when I close and re-open the package. Most cases are with connections that revert back to the original file reference, but there are also control flow and data flow elements that keep reverting back to either settings from the original package or defaults that result in the re-opened package being in error. Not sure how to get around this issue short of developing the new package from scratch which I'd rather not do since it is fairly complex. Any help anyone can provide is appreciated. Thanks.

I have a SSIS job, one of the last steps it performs is to execute a SQL 2000 DTS package. This has to be done as a SQL 2000 DTS package as it is performing rebuilds of SQL 2000 Analysis Services dimensions and cubes. We've found that when the DTS fails the SSIS job is happily completing showing as a success, we would prefer to know it went wrong.
As far as I'm aware SSIS merely starts the DTS off and doesn't care about it's result. I've taken a look in to turning on the logging for the execute DTS package and thought that the ExecuteDTS80PackageTaskTaskResult would give me the answer I need...but is merely written to the log not available as an event-handler. It also looks like it is not safe to put a SQL task in as the next item to go look at the SQL 2000 system tables to look at the log for the DTS package as the SSIS documentation warns that the DTS package can continue to run after the execute DTS package task has ended.
Ideally I want any error raised within the DTS package to cascade up to be an error in the SSIS job, I can then handle it appropriately. I cannot find a way to do this. Is there a way?
If not, can anyone suggest how in the remainder of the SSIS tasks I can be sure that the DTS has completed before I start any other tasks that will check for the SQL 2000 log of its execution?
Hi,
I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.
I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.
if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.
To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".
My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.

Hi,
I have developed an SSIS package for ETL purpose. I am invoking the SSIS package through .Net console application by referencing the ManagedDTS Assembly. I am able to execute the package in Sql Server 2005 Developer Edition and it runs fine till completion.
But when i try to execute the packahe in Sql Server 2005 Standard edition, by invoking the package through .Net console application the status of the package is failure.
Can any one help me how to over come this problem.
