Couple Of Questions Regarding Building Packages Programatically
Jul 12, 2006
Hi,
I'm trying to build a package programatically.
I've added a variable to my package but how do you specify its datatype? Is it purely determined by the type of the value that you pass in the Variables.Add(...) method?
I've added task and a sequence container to my package - no problem there. My sequence container is referenced in a variable of type DTSContainer but DTSContainer doesn't have an executables collection. So, how do I add a task into my sequence container?
Thanks
Jamie

Hi everyone,
Running Windows 2003 x64 and Sql25k 64-bit edition
We just have a couple of questions related with our system:
-What is Sql Server VSS Writer service for?
-What sort of implications must we assume when Integration Services service is running as NT AUTHORITYNetworkService
Any link or advice would be welcomed.
Thanks for your time,

I need to:
Copy an existing production database to a new database on the same server; this will be used for development.
Copy an existing table for backup purposes in preparation for deleting a couple fields from the table (precautionary process really).
I've been out of the database swing if you will for a while, just now getting the opportunity to get my feet wet so to speak. I can use either Enterprise Manager or connec to the database via ODBC and make the copies/deletes there, but I'm looking to do this via EM or SQL command.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello - I'm about to rebuild my website on a nice new windows 2k3 server. I was previously using SQL server 7 but I'd like to use the 2005 edition.
Here's my first question - is the Express edition 2005 good enough to use on my live web server? Are there limits on the amount of connections at any one time?
My second question is this - what's the best way to connect to SQL Server 2005 Express?
At the moment I would use something like:
Server=.SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True;Database=myDB
And then I would set up a COMPUTERNAMEASPNET account under SQL Server 2005 Express.
Is that an ok way to connect??
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hello all, this is my first post, I have a couple of basic questions regarding the use of SSIS. I have used SSIS for a couple of years for on off table loads but never implemented production jobs with it so please bear with these questions.
1. When making scripts that connect to one or more databases, is there a way to store the userid and password somewhere besides embedded within the package, such as a web.config file, this would make routine password changes much more manageble.
I guess it was only one question but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

How can I edit/remove the artilce from the above publication?

A couple questions about SQL Server Reporting Services:
1. Can it be used for other data sources besides SQL Server (Oracle db, XML files, via APIs, etc.)?
2. Can it do ad hoc reporting? I like the "universes" that the SAP Business Objects product allows. Does Reporting Services have something like this, to provide a simplified view that non-technical business users can use to create their own reports? Or is Reporting Services just the equivalent to Crystal Reports?
(I wanted to post this in the general MSDN forum for SQL Server, but I can never log in there for some reason.)

I get the following validation error when i run a package which contains an OledbTransformation.
The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns.
The column "Param_0" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection.
The column "Param_1" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection.
Please advice as to how to add the external columns of oledbTransformation to external meatadata and map them to the input columns programatically using C#.

Greetings!
I am writing a proof of concept ASP.net application for my employer and I have run into a couple perplexing issues. First off, In my Page_Load event I have the following code.
txOTHrs.Attributes["onBlur"] = "return calculateTotal(this)";
The onblur event handler is coded as follows
function calculateTotal(tb)
{
var regHrs = document.getElementById ("txRegHrs").value;
var otHrs = document.getElementById("txOtHrs").value;
var rate = document.getElementById("txRate").value;
var regAmt = rate * regHrs;
var otAmt= rate * ( otHrs * 1.5 );
var total = otAmt + regAmt;
document.getElementById("txTotal").value = total;
}
Everything seems to work fine. The onBlur event is handled and, as I expect the value in the txTotal text box is updated correctly. The problem occurs when I try to access that value in the codebehind page. When ever I look at txTotal.Text in the debugger it is always blank. This has left me scratching my head as I can clearly see a value on the web page. Have I missed some step where I have to notify the server that a value in the control has changed ?
My second question is, I hope a very easy one to answer. In WinForms when I have a dataset I can access the individual rows ( in an untyped dataset ) by speficying dataset.tables["tableName"].Rows[index]. Is there any similar mechanism for accessing the individual rows, and fields in the SqlDataSource object in ASP.net ?
Any help anyone can provide is greatly appreciated!!

I have a SQL Server 2005 database (called BDHSE) in a PC which i call PC1. I have a second PC (PC2) and both are within a network (a WLAN).
What i want is to have access to BDHSE from an application in VB6 (APP1) running in PC2. All the INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE records process is done through APP1.
APP1 ia currently running in PC1 and is to be installed on PC2.
I have these questions:
1. What do i need to install in PC2 since all the INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE is done using APP1? I guess i only have to install the Microsoft SQL Native Client (with all the prerequisites of course) but i am not sure.
2. In the APP1 made in VB6, do i have to change the connectionstring since i am accesing the database which physically is at PC1 and the APP1 will be used in PC2?
3. Any advice you can give me on doing this will be well received.
Thanks in advance,
BSc Fernando Martinez

I am setting up a development server with SQL 2005 Dev Ed beta 2. I have been going around in circles trying to find out how to create a database diagram. Microsoft really knows how to make things difficult! Would someone mind telling me how to build a diagram of my new database?

Is there a way to execute ETL packages programatically? Specifically, is it possible to
manually invoke the ETL package to execute from, say, an ASP.NET
application?
If so, how do you do that?
I've been searching MSDN regarding this but all I see are examples on programatically building packages.

Hi, I have couple of questions.
1.How do we restrict a step in DTS from running, if a particular condition is not met?
2.How do you pass global variable values from one Execute DTS task to another? How will you make sure that the correct value is passing to corresponding GV while passing multiple values?
3.How will load multiple files of same format but different names from a directory into one table using DTS?
4.How will you deal with exceptions and erroneous rows of data? Can you make DTS ignore up to a predetermined number of row failures and keep running? How?
5.Describe the functioning of DDQ task and what are the steps involved in designing this task. Why and in which situation do we use DDQ?
6.Can you change the connections and value of constants in DTS without modifying DTS?
Thanks In Advance

I have made a report in SRS and am not sure of how to do some of the functions I need.
In SQL I can use UPPER to convert to upper case, SRS doesn't seem to like this. The report runs but the line that is to be upper case is missing. If I remove the UPPER word from my query it works fine just displaying in lower case. Am I doing something wrong?
In Excel 2007 (I am converting my report from Excel to SRS) there is a function called NETWORKDAYS (Returns the number of whole working days between start_date and end_date. Working days exclude weekends and any dates identified in holidays. Use NETWORKDAYS to calculate employee benefits that accrue based on the number of days worked during a specific term.) Is there something similar I can use in SRS?
Thanks.

I am using a sqlDataSource to read my query and to put the rows into a gridview. Now I want to read just a couple of rows from my query based on a maximum number, also defined in the table. I have absolutely no idea how to do that..for example: I want to view only the 10 most recent subsciptions into my gridview. The subscriptions are stored into tabel Subscriptions which has values id, userid,date. Table Event has a parameter "maximum subscriptions" (which is 10 in my example) I hope it is clear enough?Thank you in advance!BlueiVeinz

I want to create a filtered view according to some information provides.
for example I want to create in form 2 check boxes male and female and when either both or one of them is unchecked, the query filters out the unchecked content from view according to the other filtering conditions.
the exact thing I need is:
a text box for string looking (in a specific column).
male & female checkboxes.
two datetime textboxes to specify a range to focus in.
it is very important to me, so if you misunderstood my question, please contact me.

Hello, I'm a little confused after installing a service pack for SQL 2005 Express. I see SP 1 & 2 for 2005 but I can't see where the SP stands alone for Express. The title says Express 2005 Service Pack 2. Does that mean that I download that version of Express and SP2 is already built in and I just load the new one over the old one or do I uninstall the old one first? I'm not real bold at this point since it took me a long time to get the Express working.
Another question - I downloaded the DTSWizard.exe 2006 msi package and installed it on my XP Pro machine. The add/remove programs window shows it to be installed but it doesn't show up in the folder it is supposed too. I've done searches for the DTSWizard.exe but it's not there, anywhere. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? I was able to get the DTSWizard to work on my 2000 Pro machine before going to XP Pro this past week. Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.

Does SQLServer go to sleep when it's been idle? How can I connect without an error?
I have SQLExpress on a server. Server Name is SqlExpress. I have 2 DBs on that server... Tuna & Guppy. I'm connecting to the DBs from a remote PC which runs my App... an exe created with Visual Studio 2008, Visual Basic.
If I run my App at say 9:30PM, after the server has been idle for several hours, I get a "Can't open connection to Guppy" error, which is my error message when the connection attempt fails. If I quit & relaunch the app, it connects fine, and will continue connecting fine unless you leave the server idle for serveral hours again.
If I'm developing a 2nd app all evening... which connects to a 2nd DB...Tuna, that activity seems to keep the SqlServer awake and then launching the 1st app at 9:30PM connects to Guppy just fine.
I tried adding a "Connection Timeout=30" to my connection string but that did not help.
My connection code is as follows (note the server's name is SQLExpress):
Dim strConnG As String = "Data Source=SQLEXPRESSSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Guppy;Integrated Security=True;Connection Timeout=30"
Using ConnG As New SqlConnection(strConnG)
'open Guppy connection
Try
ConnG.Open()
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Can't open connection to guppy")
Return False
End Try
'Code that does stuff
End using
Can anyone tell me how to fix this so I can connect without error, even if the server has been idle?
Thank you,
Joe A

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.

I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table. A couple columns are coming in a double precision float, but some values have characters in them, but those values are coming out as null, even though I changed the datatype from float to unicode string. Any inputs on resolving this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi all
Our data management system currently runs DTS packages using DTSPKG.dll.
I am currently looking at the possibliity of replacing the DTS packages and SQL 2000 with DTSX packages using SSIS in SQL 2005.
Do I need a new dll? or will the current dtspkg.dll handle the new DTSX packages?
Many thanks in advance!

I have a main report and sub report. The subreport has some fields like SYS, LOC, MSG etc.
But the report should display the values filtered basis on system. i.e. I must have a sub report
for SYS1 , SYS2 , SYS3 and so on. I can create a sub report for each system. But I want to create only subreport and
call them from the main report. How do I do this?

Can anyone please direct me to an easy to understand Description, Article or Video tutorial that shows an example on how to programatically connect to an SQL database and retrieve data from a collumn using C# and VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION. Also, what namespace should be imported to do this? (From what I have gathered out of the help, it seem that System.Web.UI.WebControls is the one)
I am trying to create a "news letter" web page. I have a basic form and when I hit "send" then the code in the background should access the database with all the recipient info, and retrieve all the E-mail addresses, Names, etc. and include it in each e-mail.
( I don't know if it is just me, but the help included with VISUAL WEB DEVELOPER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION is extremely difficult to understand - from a beginner point of view).
Thanks!

Hi, I've written a SELECT statement that returns columns dependant on a bitwise parameter @Populate.SELECTCASE WHEN (1 & @Populate) = 1 THEN [Column1] ELSE Null END AS [Column1],CASE WHEN (2 & @Populate) = 2 THEN [Column2] ELSE Null END AS [Column2],CASE WHEN (4 & @Populate) = 4 THEN [Column3] ELSE Null END AS [Column3],CASE WHEN (8 & @Populate) = 8 THEN [Column4] ELSE Null END AS [Column4],etcIs this the most efficient way to acheive this since I am only seeing a small performance gain. It still returns all columns but depending on @Populate will leave some columns with Null values.Any help much appreciated, thanks.

In VS2003 I have a user defaults table that I would call in the OnLoad - No Postback section to get the user defaults and then used some of the fields from that recordset as Parameters for other recordsets that would also load in that same section and might even issue a different Sql statement based on the field. In VS2005 (VB.NET), I can no longer figure out how to accomplish this. I can use the SQLDatasource Control which seems much improved but I cannot even find the generated code which I would use as a quick way to create my own datasources in the OnLoad event. Where is this code now stored and how can I accomplish my objectives in VB.NET 2005 with the current framework or programatically create data sources as necessary as I did before?
