I have a custom component that takes in unicode stream and converts it to ascii text. However I would like to make my default string length and code page editable in the standard GUI editor. Right now I can set the default to 1000 characters, but when I try to change it, it says "Property value is not valid"
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I am writing a custom dataflow transformation component and I need to get the name of the preceeding component.
I have been trying to find a way to get a reference to the Package object, MainPipe object or IDTSPath90 object (connecting to the IDTSInput90 of my component) from my component because I think from there I can get to the information I want.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA . . . Ed
Hi,
I've created a Custom Data Flow Component and added some Custom Properties.
I want the user to set the contents using an expression. I did some research and come up with the folowing:
Code Snippet
IDTSCustomProperty90 SourceTableProperty = ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertyCollection.New();
SourceTableProperty.ExpressionType = DTSCustomPropertyExpressionType.CPET_NOTIFY;
SourceTableProperty.Name = "SourceTable";
But it doesn't work, if I enter @[System:ackageName] in the field. It comes out "@[System:ackageName]" instead of the actual package name.
I'm also unable to find how I can tell the designer to show the Expression editor. I would like to see the elipses (...) next to my field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
This is trivial I'm sure but I'll be dogged if I can find someone who mentions how to do it. I am attempting to develop a Data Flow Transformation that appends a new column (a string value) into the current stream.
I have found plenty of references on how to replace an existing column but I'd really like to just add my new column in there. It doesn't need to be configurable, it can be a static column name. I'll take a solution that allows the column name to be set at design time, don't get me wrong but the magic I'm looking for is how to implement a new column in a stream.
Yes, I am well aware of the derived column task but I will be replacing a few hundred instances and I'd much rather just drag an item onto the designer than to drag a derived column, double click it, type in the column name, set the expression and then set the datatype, etc.
Anyone spare a moment to enlighten me?

How make a property with list of predefined values?

Hi,
I've created a stand alone custom dataflow component in VB and I need to set up the connection to the Input and Output components and instantiate it. The only way I've seen this done is to create an entire package and Task then use the TaskHost wrapper object to instantiate the Mainpipe (IDTSPipline90 interface) so that you can create the IDTSPath90 interface and setup the connection to the input and output components...
After all that, all that I would like to know is whether it is possible to instantiate the mainpipe interface without creating a package programmatically? I've seen something Darren Green put in an answer to a thread, about accessing the Mainpipe interface in the UI, to the effect that you can access it through IServiceProvider using the interface IDTSPipelineEnvironmentService - I think that's it... But I'd like to know if there is a more straightforward route to instantiating and accessing the Task or data flow directly?
Thanks in advance,
Will.
Is there a way of disabling a custom property in a component so that during design-time the property is grayed out? I looked around the properties of IDTSCustomProperty90 and nothing sticks out.
Thanks

Hi,
I have implemented a custom source component that can be used as the data source in the Data Flow task.
I have also created a custom UI for this component by using the IDtsComponentUI .
But my component does not have the capability of setting the custom properties via the DTS Variables using the Expression Builder.
I have looked around for samples on how to do this, but I can only find samples of how to do this for custom Control Tasks, i.e. IDtsTaskUI.
My question is, How can implement the Expression Builder in my custom Source component + custom Source UI. Or do you know of any samples which I can look at.
Thank you,
Jameel.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am creating a custom transformation component, and a custom user interface for that component.
In
my custom UI, I want to show the custom properties, and allow users to
edit these properties similar to how the advanced editor shows the
properties.
I know in my UI I need to create a "Property Grid".
In
the properties of this grid, I can select the object I want to display
data for, however, the only objects that appear are the objects that I
have already created within this UI, and not the actual component
object with the custom properties.
How do I go about getting the properties for my transformation component listed in this property grid?
I am writing in C#.
Hi all
I'm into a project which uses a lot of views for joining 2 or more tables. Using the MERGE component in SSIS will be a huge effort coz it only has 2 inputs and I gotta SORT the input too.
Isnt it possible to have a VIEW like component that joins more than 2 tables and DOESNT need sorting??
(I've thought about creating views in database engine but it breaks my data floe in SSIS and is'nt a practical solution)
Hi,
I'm trying to enable Expression for a custom property in my custom data flow component.
Here is the code I wrote to declare the custom property:
public override void ProvideComponentProperties()
{
ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection.RemoveAll();
RemoveAllInputsOutputsAndCustomProperties();
IDTSCustomProperty90 prop = ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertyCollection.New();
prop.Name = "MyProperty";
prop.Description = "My property description";
prop.Value = string.Empty;
prop.ExpressionType = DTSCustomPropertyExpressionType.CPET_NOTIFY;
...
}
In design mode, I can assign an expression to my custom property, but it get evaluated in design mode and not in runtime
Here is my expression (a file name based on a date contained in a user variable):
"DB" + (DT_WSTR, 4)YEAR( @[User::varCurrentDate] ) + RIGHT( "0" + (DT_WSTR, 2)MONTH( @[User::varCurrentDate] ), 2 ) + "\" + (DT_WSTR, 4)YEAR( @[User::varCurrentDate] ) + RIGHT( "0" + (DT_WSTR, 2)MONTH( @[User::varCurrentDate] ), 2 ) + ".VER"
@[User::varCurrentDate] is a DateTime variable and is assign to 0 at design time
So the expression is evaluated as: "DB189912189912.VER".
My package contains 2 data flow.
At runtime,
The first one is responsible to set a valid date in @[User::varCurrentDate] variable. (the date is 2007-01-15)
The second one contains my custom data flow component with my custom property that was set to an expression at design time
When my component get executed, my custom property value is still "DB189912189912.VER" and I expected "DB200701200701.VER"
Any idea ?
1) We are writing a custome Source component for Oracle with OCI calls, Could some one please let me know how to Enable Error Handling for the Same,
2) Is it possible to write Custome Error Handeling Component for SSIS? if yes could you please help me on how to write it.
Thanks in advance.
What I want to accomplish is that at design time the designer can enter a value for some custom property on my custom task and that this value is accessed at executing time.

I can't find anything on how to get to a global variable in a script component in the dataflow. I can get to it in a script task with no problem by using dts.variables but i doesn't appear you can do the dts variables in the script component.
I did add it to the readwrite variable list but I haven't been able to access it.
I have a set of comma separated variables in a Script Component list. I want to access them in Script code and use them to build string in the code.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've created a custom data flow tranformation and it isn't showing up in the Tool Box Items to be added under the Data Flow Items tab (right click on tool box, 'Choose Items...', then clicked Data Flow Items).

added to GAC,
copied the dll to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPipelineComponents.
It worked previously when I was just starting out, however now I cannot see it. What would cause it to not show up? Everything compiles fine. How would I determine how to fix it so that it shows up?
I am developing SSIS dataflow component.
Extended user interface is based on class IDtsComponentUI. Connection properties are created in both standart and my extended editor (Extended user interface). To set up designtime connection I use standart and my extended editor.
A main PipelineComponent component have two runtime connection:
IDTSRuntimeConnection90 adoConnection1 = ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection.New();
adoConnection1.Name = "Connection 1";
IDTSRuntimeConnection90 adoConnection2 = ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection.New();
adoConnection2.Name = "Connection 2";
----------------------------------------------------------------------
IDTSComponentMetaData90 dtsComponentMetaData; // current designtime component
....
In IDtsComponentUI I use follow fragment of code (for example):
_dtsComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection[0].ConnectionManager =
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(_connections[0]);
to set up IDTSRuntimeConnection90[0] connection using connections from a current package. After this operation
the RuntimeConnectionCollection[0] is not null within the method PipelineComponent.AcquireConnections((object transaction)). ! But during next launching of Extended user interface the RuntimeConnectionCollection[0] is null within the method PipelineComponent.AcquireConnections((object transaction)).
Why do I lose the connection? And why the connections which set up in my Advanced editor do not save in standart editor?
Thanks in advance.
I€™m trying to populate a table with fields of date type [DT_DATE] using the Slow Changing Dimension Transformation component. When I add the date fields to the component it would not build the stream. The wizard fails and tells me the date fields are not of the same type. The fields in the destination table are of type €œdate€? and the input columns are of type [DT_DATE]. Am I missing something?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I am using a Data Flow task which copies data from an Excel Source to a SQL Database Table Destination. From 15 columns I require only 10 columns to be imported to the DB Table. So I have mapped those colums. In SQL DB there is a colum called say X, whose value should be the "Remedy" for all the columns which are imported. Is there any task that can achieve it.
Please Help.
I'm building packages programmatically and all is well. I have a new custom transform that I developed. It also works fine. Now I'm trying to add my new component to my packages when I programmatically build them, and I'm unable to do that.
Has anyone added their own custom components to a programmatically built package successfully?
I get a COM error on the line that calls ProvideComponentProperties. I've attempted various modifications including not overriding ProvideComponentProperties or just having it do nothing. I always get the same result. What I don't understand is that the custom transform works and handles ProvideComponentProperties fine when it is added to a package in BIDS.
Thanks.

Does anyone happen to know if it is possible to set a custom data flow component property to be non-browsable? I have a number of custom component properties, and would prefer that they only be updateable through my custom UI as opposed to via the property grid on the SSIS designer,

How do I create my own descriptions as shown in the buttom of the Properties pane in Visual Studio 2005 when I create a Custom Task?
Thanks in advance!
Hello to everyone, I've a question about UDTs and the way I can use them to access tables and columns where they are applied in a SQL Server 2005 DB.
I've already spent 2 days googling and MSDN reading but nothing helped me to solve my problem, thats why I'm posting it here (this is the second post, maybe the last one was in the wrong Forum).
The scenario follows:
I've created a UDT called MyUDT that exposes 2 properties MyTable, MyColumn, here its the code:
[Serializable]
[SqlUserDefinedType(Format.UserDefined, IsByteOrdered = true, MaxByteSize = 8000, Name = "MyUDT")]
public class MyUDT : INullable, IBinarySerialize
{
private string _myTable;
private string _myColumn;
....
/// <summary>
/// Set or Get the Table Name where the UDT is applied.
/// </summary>
public string MyTable {
get { return this._myTable; }
set { this._myTable = value; }
}
/// <summary>
/// Set or Get the Table's Column Name where the UDT is applied.
/// </summary>
public string MyColumn
{
get { return this._myColumn; }
set { this._myColumn = value; }
}
....
}
And here it's my question/s:
How can I expose the defined Properties (MyTable, MyColumn) in order to be directly used from
SQL Server Management Studio within the Column Properties Panel?
Pls take a look to the print screen placed below:
[img=http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/7193/untitledip1.th.jpg]
If it is not possible, is there a way for any UDT to get back from the sql server execution context
the table and the column where it is applied/used?
I need to solve that in order to later retrieve via SQL the Extended Table Properties where the UDT is used
and make some work on presented MetaData. Thanks in advance, every answer/help will be very much appreciated.
I'm building a custom component and UI and am a bit confused on where I
need to create and/or set custom column
properties?
My UI will have a datagrid with three
columns: 1) a check box to select a column for use by the component, 2)
the input column name, and 3) a "differentiator" checkbox that indicates
an extra property about some of the columns that have the first column
checkbox checked (For example, my component may be using five input columns, but
three of those need to be used in a slightly different
way.)
The problem is, I don't understand when or
where I'm supposed to create the custom property for the input
column. SetUsageType is where I've been thinking, but I don't
know if I'm supposed to be creating it for an input column or a virtual
input column. I'd appreciate any guidance.
Hi,
I saw some thing called custom properties for the "Derived transformation" in the msdn site. I tried to use them in a simple package, but I am getting an error as "can't write to derivedoutputcolumnname.friendlyexpression". Friendly expression is one of the custom properties available for the derived transformation output columns.
The steps I followed to get to this error are as follows:
1) Get data from a table using OLEDB Source. Suppose I am getting firstName, LastName etc.
2) Derived column input is values from the above OLEDB Source.
3) I have added a new column called "Concatenated name" which is concatenated value of first and last names.
4) Then in the properties editor of this data flow task in expressions option I clicked on ellipse available. I got an editor for property expression, which contained two columns called "Property" and "Expression". Property column contains dropdown with friendly expressions propety for the derived columns and expression column is a text box, where in we can enter expression to be evaluated for the corresponding friendly expression property.
5) Now when I click on OK and try to debug it gives an error as "Can't write to concatenatedname.friendlyexpresiion".
If anybody has already faced this problem and solved it please let me know, because I am struck here a long time.
Thanks&Regards,
Sreekanth Ammisetty

Ive been using SSIS for a month or two and now find I need to create some custom tasks to perform some performance logging. in the the overloaded ProviderComponentProperties section I am trying to create a property which has the same look as the Expressions properties you find elsewhere (Little + on the left and a group of sub properties when expanded).
Ive have played with creating a IDTSCustomPropertyCollection90 collection then adding my sub properties to it but I cant seem to then add my new collection to the ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertiesCollection.
Im assuming the Expressions parameter is a collection added to the properties collection but I cant figure out how. Any help would be much appreciated.
