Is there any way to copy SSIS packages from one mirrored server to another? I'm considering using robocopy, but is there another solution? I'd then like to use this solution with the Transfer jobs task.

HI All,
Now my brain isn't quite where it should be right about now - so hopefully you will be able to put me at rest.
I have been building a new server with SQL2000 on it. Some of the stuff on our existing server is going to be migrated across - however I for the life of me cannot make any sense of how to move stuff (like DTS packages) from one server to another.
moving the Database's - no problems, but all the other guff in the tree (in Enterprise Manager) I cant seem to get.
Any assistance here is greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Troy
I've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
Anybody got any idea on how to go about this?
We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
Hi All,
I created a SSIS package in my local computer to load data from flat file and convert data type and then load them into another table.
Then I checked in the package into a shared server so that another person can access it. Then now he wants to chage source and destination file locations. Only the location is different. But when he changes the file location, It does not execute. Other machine SQL Express is running instead of SQL Developer version.
Where we went wrong? Is there any special way to copy SSIS packages?
If so, can you explain it step by step?
I need to create a fairly simple package. And almost because of the simplicity, I'm stumped.
I need to copy all non-system tables from server1.database1 to server2.database2. Additionally, four of the 30+ tables need to be renamed on the fly -- i.e. their name will reflect the year and month that the copy takes place.
I've tried using the Transfer SQL Server Object Task to simply copy the tables, but I get flaky results at best with it. Sometimes it tells me the source table doesn't exist, when I can clearly see it (and I've selected it from the list). And even though I have turned on the Include Indexes option, they don't always come through.
I'm wondering if I need to do a For Each loop looking at an ADO object?
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a package with SSIS to replace the DTS process that we have in place already.
DTS package copy four table content from one server to another. I have created a simple SSIS to do the same processes but the process it alot slower than DTS!!
I did ran the SSIS package using ctrl+F5 and also from command prompt but still it's quite slow.
SSIS uses SMO to access to server and both are running on 2005
Thanks
I need to use a value retrieved in one data flow in the second data flow. What's the best way to do this?
How do I copy the column retrieved to a variable so I can use that variable in the second data flow?
I've two SQL databases, the first one having the schema named sch1 and the second one with the schema named sch2. I need to copy data of more tables belonged to the sch1 into the sch2 of the second SQL Server db and I'd like to create a SSIS 2012 pkg in order to achieve this goal.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
Can anyone tell how to copy multiple tables from from one db to another using SSIS object model.
I am confused with things like. Do I need to add multiple source and destination in a dataflow task or do I need to add multiple dataflow task?
What is the difference between these two? Is there any other (easy way) to achieve this?
Thanks.
I am experiencing unexpected behaviour when copying an Excel file.
An Excel file from TemplateDir to WorkingDir.
Excel file is then populated in WorkingDir, ok Copy File task copies Excel File from WorkingDir to FinalDir, however non populated version of file is copied.
However, if I stop SSIS and and execute Copy Task only, the populated version of file is copied.
It seems SSIS has a kind of lock on Excel file in WorkingDir.
how lock can be released to enable Copy of populated file.
I am trying to copy the data from Oracle to SQL, it is taking 10 mins to load only 50K records of data. I am using only one DFT task.
In the DFT task I am using 2 tasks oracle Source and OLEDB destination .
 what can I do to improve the ETL process and reduce the load time ?
I have to copy files from a sharepoint or extranet location (basically https://.....) location to my local server using SSIS.
Any kind of early help would be really great.
I need to copy all the data from all the tables in a database to a copy of this database on another server.
What feature of SSIS should I take advantage of to accomplish this?
We have an SLA for 8am, most times the data warehousing jobs complete at 8:05am. Adding an additional process/set of tasks to this package would obviously make matters so I'm trying to update/copy/replicate the data in the fastest manner. Typically we're talking 2 marts (10-20GB) with 2 large tables (5-10 mill records) and 20 marts (0.5 - 5 GB) with many more smaller tables (~40 tables with record count ranging from 1 to a million)
Additionally please indicate if the design/feature you suggest can handle (pushing schema changes and additions to the target server) schema changes or new tablesviews added to the source database.
My only idea so far...is using the import wizard (in Management Studio) to create an SSIS package (top copy all the tables from one server to another) and saving it to the server, Then executing this package after the job is complete. However this would not work if the schema of a table changed, or if a a table is added. Moreover I don't think I can edit this package in visual studio.
Hi,
Is there a way to reuse existing Configuration Files in SSIS Packages?
I have two packages with the same connection managers, properties and variables.
I want to reuse the Config file of the 1st package in the second one. While building the packages it gives error like
“Config file already exists cannot recreate”.

Hi,
I upgraded to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 and now when I run the master SSIS package( that has several packages in it), all the packages run twice.
After removing SP2, they work fine. Any ideas how to make this work with SP2?
I am writing a vb application that is supposed to let the users set the connection string for the datasources in the package. After new connection strings are entered the application is supposed to run 8 packages in a certain order, but I haven't been able to set a new connection string successfully. Is there a way to programmatically modify the connection string of a package's datasource? (the packages are moving data from a D3 database to sql server 2005)
Here is what I have tried so far:
A.
Dim pkgLocation As String
Dim app As Application = New Application()
pkgLocation = "c:Package1.dtsx"
Dim pkg As Package = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, Nothing)
Dim myConns As Connections = pkg.Connections
MessageBox.Show(myConns(0).ID.ToString)
Dim myConnMgr As ConnectionManager = myConns(0)
Dim connProperties As DtsProperties = myConnMgr.Properties
connProperties(0).SetValue(myConnMgr, "notsupposed=towork;")
MessageBox.Show(myConnMgr.ConnectionString)
B.
ConMgr = p.Connections.Add("OLEDB")
ConMgr.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=192.168.0.233; User ID=sa; Initial Catalog=Rmt_New"
ConMgr.Name = "SqlDatabase"
ConMgr.Description = "Sql Connection"
Any help would appreciated.
I am connecting to a DB2 mainframe to pull data into SQL 2005. Very simple import. SSIS package works fine on 32 bit. However, once deployed to the 64 bit machine, I get "invalid product license" on the Acquire Connection method.
I've worked with IBM support. I have the correct version of the DB2 Connect client installed. The license is there and in the right place. I can connect to the mainframe from the 64 bit server using the DB2 client tools. I just can't seem to execute the package from Integration Services or run a job in SQL Server that executes the package.
According to BOL, the package should automatically detect the 64 client I installed. It and the 32 bit client I developed with share the same name/id.
Am I missing something? Any hints?
Where are SSIS packages stored and how can I see them in SQL Server Management studio?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI read in Kirk Haselden's book "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services" that if SQL Serfver 2005 and 2000 are installed on the same machine as seperate instances then you can view the SQL Server 2000 DTS packages in 2005 Management Studio under the Management tree, Legacy, Data Transformation Services node.
But in my case, I am not able to see DTS packages in Management Studio. Is there a property or a setting that we need to configure for that?
Thanks.
I'm still new to SSIS packages and I'm NOT a developer. I am in the process of doing preliminary/prepatory work for migrating our SQL 2000 platforms to SQL 2005.
I am having a REAL headache with migrating/moving DTS packages from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. Here are things that I know :
1. I know that some packages cannot be migrated due to ActiveX issues and other issues. Fine.
2. I know that I can install DTS backwards compatibility components on the server in order to be able to edit the DTS packages using a SQL 2000 DTS GUI. Fine.
3. I know that I can use the Migration wizard to migrate packages (and that some of them can't be migrated this way). Fine.
Here's what I don't know/or am conjecturing:
1. In a clustered environment, I have to edit the <%Install Path%>/90/DTS/Bin/MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml file to set the <ServerName> property to the Virtual Server name. Correct? Why can't M$ do this for me?
2. Do I HAVE to export the SSIS package to a .DTSX file in order to be able to edit it with Visual Studio? Is there ANY way around this?
3. If I am running in a clustered environment and I use the File System for storing packages, then the pacakges must be stored on a shared volume, right?
4. I did not find SQL Server Integration services on the B- (Passive) node. Do I have to install it separately onto the B server (much like having to install the Client Tools)?
If anyone has some guidance or tips on running SSIS in this brave, new, wonderful world, I would sure appreciate it.
And yes, I am going to go out right now and order a new book on SSIS.

Hello,
When I try to save modifies in packages with many components the system show me a information dialog telling me that there was a System.OutOfMemoryException
Anyone knows how to solve this problem without divide the package in 2 or more packages?

Hi All,
I've been assigned a task by one of the programmer in my team to create packages from some of the databases(One from SQL2005&Other one from SQLEXPRESS)
I've created and saved the packages using the export wizard.I saved the Packages as Integration Services Packages(On file System).
Now he wants me to execute the packages using SSIS But in different time,like maybe after 5min.Other package runs.
I really have no clue how to do that,I've added Both packages in SSIS,But i really dont know how to run them in different time.
If anyone could help please do so!

I am in a situation where we are redesigning our Datawarehouse. Currently we have our Datawarehouse in SQL 2000 and we are rebuilding from scratch in SQL 2005. This means that even though we will get the same tables but we are planning to rename each & every attribute to make it more meaningful.
The question is like this:
We can migrate the current DTS packages to SSIS but since all the ODBC connections , field names(attributes) will change is it worth it to leverages the DTS packages ?
Also we convert the julian date to gregorian date in our DTS packages but since SSIS has a feature to convert julian date it would be redundant to migrate the packages and my feeling is to create new packages in SSIS and start on a clean slate.
Is there anybody who was in such situation ?
Please advise.

I thought so but I'm looking for a couple of packages and I am not be able to find any there at all.
