I have been working with a client on a legacy application migration to SSIS and I found SSIS to be very helpful, as this is my first project using integration services I found myself in a situation where multiple solutions can work but I cannot assess the risk of using one or the other and the effort required for the implementation.
The situation is as following, we cannot touch the input files that come from the other legacy systems so I need to get information that is packaged following the next multipart schema:
&Header with context information from the source
&BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format N)
- Data in format N
&BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format K)
+Data in format K
&BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format P)
=Data in format P
Etc... Needless to say that they can come in whatever order and they need different processing depending on the format. I have been tempted to use the techniq shown in "Handling Different Row Types In The Same File" from http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?54.
However, there are multiple issues that I have to resolve to do that: First is how to feed the pipeline with the Data in format N and then reparse them in an easy way cause the data that comes from the other system is very wide (aprox 120 columns), so using a parsing script is by no means a viable solution (I have multiple formats to handle). So I do not see a way to treat the data without using a Custom Connection Manager. Here comes my first question: Is there anyway someone can use the already provided managers to handle an scenario like this one?
Next comes the separation, which one is the wisest thing to do: Write again that to disk in as easier format or pass along that information to the next task in memory? The volume of data is in the order of hundreds of megabytes (100 to 200), maybe half a Gigabyte in the extreme cases. How about uploading that to SQL Server and work from there?
BTW, the production servers will have 6 to 8 Gb of memory and 4 to 8 processors (more or less).
I've created a very simple custom connection manager, and I followed the deployment instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345276.aspx. Basically, that was just copying the assembly to %programfiles%Microsoft SQL Server90DTSConnections, and then registering the asssembly in the gac.
However, when I open VS, right-click on the connection manager pane, and then choose new connection, my custom manager does not appear. What am I missing?
Does anyone has code/sample/tutorial/pointer to developing custom connection manager with a custom UI. And then developing a custom task with a custom UI that can point to this custom connection manager... and passing values during runtime from UI to the custom class.
Ok... so the microsoft documentation talks about the Sql Server Custom Connection Manager Sample all over the place. And I look to my machine after installing the samples and its not there. So I go to microsoft site and it says that the code samples are now hosted on this codeplex website. You follow the link and nothing is there for the sample. Can anyone show me exactly where I can get this sample? I find lots of people with issues trying to find and download it.. so I know i'm not the only one.
The standard flat file connection component does not handle flat files with different column counts on different rows. Since that's the type of file I have to read, I like to create a modified version of the flat file connection manager that can do this. I have found some info in how to create a connection manager. But I can't find anything that tels me how to build one that would be recognized by the flat file source dataflow component.
So how do you build an connection manager that can used by the standard flat file source component? Anyone ever did this or knows were to get the docs?
I know my problem is also solvable by reading the row into a single column and then using a script component to split them but that is not the solution I want.
[One day I will come back here and answer questions, rather than only ask.]
I have a custom connection manager that returns an OleDbConnection. The only thing "custom" about the connection manager is how it determines its connection string. The object returned in AcquireConnection is an OleDbConnection.
OleDbConnection oleDbConnection = new OleDbConnection(this.connectionString); oleDbConnection.Open();
return oleDbConnection; }
Some of the objects within SSIS only work with an OleDbConnection, but mine is not recognized as such. Is there any way to have my connection recognized as a valid connection?
I am running into issues with custom objects interaction with visual studio 2005.
1. Custom connection manager. I am setting the name of the connection manager ( to standardize naming convention ) that user created, however when the CM is created, the name displayed in visual studio is still the default name even if the real name is the one i set. I have to do things like, edit it or save package - close - reopen, create another connection, ... etc in order to get it refreshed.
2. Custom Task I am managing some variables in this custom task so that I will be adding and deleting variables in the package. The challenge i am running into is, when I added 2 variables for example, even though the variables are successfully added to package, the Variable Window in visual studio designer will not reflect the new variables. I have to save package, close, and re-open in order for the variables to show up.
So this brings to my question - is there any way to tell Visual Studio programmatically to refresh the contents of these 2 sections, 1 is the Variable Window and the other is the panel containing the list of connection managers.
I have been searching around and found some clue about visual studio SDK but I still cannot find an exact way of doing it. Visual Studio SDK example tells you how you can access the Variable window as
I have a very basic / stripped connection manager with only one property (SSIS 2012). It works fine in design time (you can open the connection manager editor and change the value), but in runtime it only works in 32bit mode. The runtime-validate-method does work, but if everything validates OK then in 64bit it throws an error when you run the package:
Exception deserializing the package "The package failed to load due to error 0xC0011008 "Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored.". This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.
The 2 VSÂ projects are .Net 4 class library projects with the Build Platform on "Any CPU"
I only add references to: Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS - C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETassemblyGAC_MSILMicrosoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTSv4.0_11.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91 Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Design -
Once you open the SSIS execute package utility and select a package from a SQL server location, even if you go to the connection managers item (on the left in execute package utility) and change a connection string, it doesn't make a difference. I have this package that reads flat files into a database. So when I run the package, even if I change the connection string for a connection manager to read a particular flat file and run the package, it still uses the old connection string that was used when the package was initially saved. As always I hate Microsoft for releasing features without even checking if it works.
Hi, Please help me with an SQL Query that fetches all the records from the three tables but a unique record for each forum and topicid with the maximum lastpostdate. I have to bind the result to a GridView.Please provide separate solutions for SqlServer2000/2005. I have three tables namely – Forums,Topics and Threads in SQL Server2000 (scripts for table creation and insertion of test data given at the end). Now, I have formulated a query as below :- SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads FROM Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC Whose result set is as below:-
forumid topicid name author lastpostdate NoOfThreads
5 17 General NULL NULL 0 On modifying the query to:- SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads FROM Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate HAVING th.lastpostdate=(select max(lastpostdate)from threads where topicid=t.topicid) ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC I get the result set as below:-

I am trying to run a package outside of the Business Intelligence development Studio. It continuously fails and tell me that my username cannot logon due to a password failure. When I check my connections the password never shows in the connection string and remains blank in the connection properties although I have checked Save Password in the connection properties. Does anyone know how I can save the password in the connection string being utilized in the SSIS package?
I want know how to config SSIS Package With different connection Manager.
Sample .

How we can Change the connection string in XML Config File .Whne I tested . It always taking what ever we given in the Desing Time .
I'm having serious problem with SSIS on my development machine.
each time I try to add a new Connection manager i got this error :
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------ The new connection manager could not be created. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The connection manager 'OLEDB' is not properly installed on this computer. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Design)
This happen for any type of Connection Manager, ADO.NET, FILE,SMTP. I've already tried to uninstall SSIS , but nothing change.
I am having a strange problem in that when ever I create a connection to an OLE db source and use SQL Server authorization and save the password, the connection manager seems to "forget" the password. That is, when I click the 'save password' check box, and do a test connection, it connects fine. But as soon as I close that connection window, and reopen it, the password box is empty, and the 'save password' box is still checked. Even if I do a test connection at this point, it wont connect because it does not have the password.
Hi!I´m trying to create a merge replication publication for a SQL MobileApplication .Everything works fine creating the publication and I'm able to dothehttp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/aaaaaaa/sqlcesa30.dll, and it display's the"sql server mobile server agent 3.0".But when I run the application on the PDA and it´s doing thereplication it appears the following error:'Failure to connect to SQL Server with provided connectioninformation .

I have a table which contains a column ([Connection String]) that has every connection string for the SQL instances on our estate.
I have a package which will import data from a single instance, but how do I set the connection manager so that it uses a variable and is populated by a selecting the connection strings from my central database?
Do I use a cursor to select the next connection string?
Hi all, I have a Prod SSIS package and I need to changed the server name from SERV2 to SERV16. I changed it and tested the connection and it works fine.I saved the package but when I opened the Package the name of the server is unchanged. Do I need to rebuild the package and deploy it again? Thanks all.
I m new to this forum and hope i ll get warm welcome from all of you.... thank you
I m Praveen kumar Dayanithi... a master student doin my assistantship in a Company. Kindly help me with this...
Here is my issue.... i would like to know how can i pass arguments to connection manager programmatically. In other words how can i acquire connection manger through SCRIPT task(Vb script). I know it is very easy to manually select n specify database name, table name by right clicking in dataflow task but in my company if i do that it will be very cumbersome for production people to change all the database and table names manually when the project is moved to production. Rather if i programmatically acquire connection manager using global variables it will make production people's job very easy. They have to just change the value of the variables. So can any one help me with this issue.
I am running SQL Server 2012 on a VM and am trying to pull data from a network drive (S: or misvnascfs0003).I can import data using the Import Wizard and save the package as an SSIS package. When I try to Run the Package I get The Acquire Connection method call to the connection manager "SourceConnectionExcel" failed with the error...
If I save the file to the VM local drive the SSIS package run fine.When I log into SSIS through SSMS i have to run as "Administrator".
I am yet to connect to any datasource on my SSIS package. But when I right click on the connection Managers box in my SSIS project and select €œNew OLE DB Connection€? (or any other connection type), I get an Error as below. Please Help to resolve this error.

I´m using the Flat File Connection Manager to access a flat file, tab delimited. The flat file has 200 columns, and when I'm editing the columns, I only preview columns from 0 to 97.
Does the flat file connection have a column number limit? How could I increase it?
I use Sql server 2005 standard edition in a 64 bit machine.I tried to create a SSIS project with an Analysis Services Processing Task. In connection Manager, the test connection succeeds but when I try to add the analysis services connection manager it gives following error.-The new connection manager could not be created,Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0010014 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap). This is a production server and we cannot reproduce this in other servers , so troubleshooting is difficult. This error appears when connecting to other sources like MS excel in Export task of Enteerprise Manager as well. Cubes can be processed manually without any problem.Pls give me a solution.

While using the connection manager name in the SSIS component (say script task) the connection is failing . As a workaround, the whole connection string has been put in a variable and used that variable in the SCRIPT task.
Is it a bug or some other property need to be set to use ConnectionManager Name .
