I have a DTEXECUI.exe related question. This util is installed on our QA server, but not our dev-server. Is this optional during installation? I can't ask our admin, he's on vacation.
Maybe important to note, is that the QA-server runs on 64 bit, where as the other servers are only 32-bit..
Is there an option(s) that will allow me to reduce the amount of output to the Package Execution Progress window? My package has a number of steps, but trying to keep track of progress is difficult at best given the deluge of messages this window displays.
I would prefer output similar to the SQL Import/Export wizard, which shows executing tasks on a single line with a status and a link to any error messages off to the side. Is this available somehow, or do I have to build it myself?
I have a very simple SSIS package that reads an environment variable, assigns it to a variable that is sent in an email, and also logs it to a text file. If I execute the package on the server via DTExecUI, it works fine as expected. However, if I schedule it as part of a job, I get the following error:
Code: 0x00000002 Source: Script Task Description: The script threw an exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. End Error DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1). Started: 9:08:00 AM Finished: 9:08:01 AM Elapsed: 0.859 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.
The script is as follows:
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Public Class ScriptMain
Public Sub Main()
Dim Path As String = "C:TestEnv.txt"
Dim Env As String = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SSISConfig").ToString()
Dim Sw As StreamWriter
Dts.Variables("SSISConfig").Value = Env
If File.Exists(Path) = False Then
Sw = File.CreateText(Path)
Else
Sw = File.AppendText(Path)
End If
Try
Sw.WriteLine(Env)
Finally
Sw.Close()
End Try
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
End Class
I have puttered with this for a while now and can't figure out what the problem is. Any ideas?
I installed SP2 yesterday on our production server. I had some problems with that but it seemed to have installed so that the Datbase engine and the Integration Services is patch at least.
But after the update we can no longer bring up the "properties" of SSIS packages. If we connect to the integration service and choose run package the GUI just wait for a while and then nothing happens. We get an error in the event log thou ..
If we open a package that we have scheduled in the SQL Agent we get an error messages saying "No description found" .. really strange stuff is going on here ..?
Hi, I am trying to find a feature- that was there in DTS but I can't locate it in SSIS
Using DTSRUNUI, we could generate a encrypted command line for executing the pacakge. Now using DTEXECUI, I can get the command line but is there any way in which I can get it in the encryted format??
In a script task, I prompt the user for some parameters. I use the System::InteractiveMode variable to tell me if the package was launched via user interaction or from an automated process such as a file watcher. I display the prompts only if System::InteractiveMode is true. When I run from VS 2005 then I get the prompts, and when the package runs automated (dtexec) the prompts are not shown, so all is OK. However, when the package is run from dtexecui, I do not get the prompts because it seems the InteractiveMode value is false. Shouldn't the InteractiveMode value be true when the package is run from dtexecui since it is a user interface?
I've worked for awhile to get an SSIS package that connects to Oracle to succesfully run via DTExecUI from a 64 bit SQL Server. I completely understand that DTExecUI runs in 32 bit mode, but I need to initiate the package from a stored proc so I need to be able to utilize the 32 bit DTExec from either a xp_cmdshell call or from an sp_start_job (thanks to MatthewRouche for the suggestion). Both Ora92 and 10g were installed on the SQL Server.
Here's what I've tried unssuccessfully
1. SQL Job - Just calling the package from an SSIS step. I wouldn't expect this to run because it is 64 bit DTExec. 2. SQL Job - A job that calls the 32 bit version of dtexec from cmdexec. Here is 2 examples I have tried, the first is because I came across several postings saying that there is a problem with the "(x86)" for the Oracle driver.
\server_nameE$ProgramFilesLegacyMicrosoftSQLServerX8690DTSBinnDTExec.exe /DTS "PackageName" /SERVER "SERVER_NAME" /SET Package.Variables[PLT].Value;"8H" /CONFIGFILE "\SERVERConfigFile.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW
\server_nameE$Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server (x86)90DTSBinnDTExec.exe /DTS "PackageName" /SERVER "SERVER_NAME" /SET Package.Variables[PLT].Value;"8H" /CONFIGFILE "\SERVERConfigFile.dtsConfig" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW
Both of these give me the error below:
System.Exception: System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
I'm assuming that it is running in 32 bit mode because this was at the beginning of the job history log:
Executed as user: "XXX". ....3042.00 for 32-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2005. All rights reserved
3. I then tried to call the package from a batch file on a file server that had integration services installed on. Got the same error as above.
I'm obviously missing something if I can get it to work in DTExecUI but not DTExec 32-bit.
Any ideas? Below are some postings I have already visited several times:

One paragraph that stands out on this posting is:
Find the location of the application that is generating the error. Check the path to this location and see if it contains any parenthesis. If so, you must relocate the application to a directory without any parenthesis in the path. This didn€™t work for me, unless I was doing it wrong.

If this posting was complete, it looks like what I was looking for.
I want to input a parameter to my package. I have a variable, and I tried changing its value from DTExecUI.
I did everything as mentioned in http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2007/03/13/SSIS_3A00_-Property-Paths-syntax.aspx but I still get an error -
Could not set "Package.Variables[User::var_input_step_Name].Properties[Value]" value to "RAW".
The variable was originally read from a XML config file. I stored the package to MSDB. I then ran dtexecui, selected my msdb package, and in Set Values, I entered property path and value. I also tried removing the "", and I even deleted the XML configuration. Still the same error.
What am I doing wrong? Any Package Settings to make?
Hi Friends, I have a question. At my home computer i downloaded and installed VWD. As usual it also installed Sqlexpress as part of the installation(i checked the option). Later on i downloaded Management studio separately so i am fine with my home computer as every thing is free. But at work we decided to develop application using VS 2005 and Sqlserver 2005. So we bought and installed VS2005 professional edition at work and it also installed Sqlexpress during the installation as a defualt desktop engine. I am fine with that too. But i am not understing where do i get the Management studio? Is it some thing i could get it off the web for free or what? I am not sure we would have an option while installing the VS 2005 professional that also does install management studio and we need to check that option. I am not sure if we could get the management studion off the web for free and and evelop applications.
I want to find whether SQL Server 2005 x86 is installed or SQL Server 2005 x64 is installed programatically(Any API would do.) If anyone can recommend a registry key that I can rely on find whether it is a 32 bit or 64 bit SQL Server that would suffice.
I'm just wondering how many people have gone to SQL 7 SP3. Is it a case of only applying it if it fixes a particular problem you are experiencing, or have you installed it to keep with the latest version ?
Please let me have your thoughts (I'm currently running SP2).
How do I install a SQL Server 2005 Express to have no instance?
I have a SQL 2005 Server Enterprise which has no instance, just the server name, even when pointing to the DB, you just use the server name and the DB name.
I am not any good in SQL, but need to configure SQL Express for a project I am busy with and would like it if I could only have a name, and not an instance.
hi friends, in my system, just client tools were installed.i'm able to register to the other servers.but it is anot accepting to register my system. is there any thing to do?
I'm running Sharepoint server and Visual Studio on Windows server 2003. Sharepoint has its sql (officeServer) and Visual Studio installed sql express when it was installed. I can't connect to either one in VS or anywhere else. I wanted to install the adventureWorks sql database, so as to do SDK samples, and that didn't work either. I really don't understand what's going on with sql and how to use it. I can see both are running in the SQL configuration manager. Can anyone help?
Hi- I had previously had VS2005 Beta installed from my MSDN discs. When it expired, I uninstalled it and downloaded VWD Express to install. VWD installed fine, but the SQL Server Express will not install. The VWD install package doesn't give me any feedback, just says it failed. I tried dowloading and installing SQL Express separately, and it tells me that I have to uninstall all components from other versions. I have done that, but still wont install. If I use the uninstall utility on the website, it tells me it can't find any components, and all of the components listed in the manual uninstall instructions are missing, so I can't find anything further to uninstall. (FYI: I'm running XP Pro SP2). I'm wondering if a registry setting or something didn't get updated on uninstall. I see a registry folder for "Microsoft SQL Server" but I do not know if this could be getting in the way. Any help would be appreciated. -Moz
I'm unable to install SQL Server 7 on Windows NT with SP5. I get this error message:

Does anyone know how I would go about getting the MS SQL Server agent to show up as a service ? For some reason it does not show up on my Server as a service even though SQL Server 2000 is installed on that server.
I have a server that has SQL Server installed on both C and D drives. The SQL Server software is currently running from the C drive and the live databases and backups are stored on the D drive.
I need to have everything on the D drive. Is there an easy way to make the registry point to the D drive without reinstalling SQL Server? The software will needs to run from the D drive because the C drive is running out of disk space. I will also need to delete the whole C:mssql directory.
I have an ugent situation. Due to a failure we had to build a new db server for an application and this was done succuessfully. The application requires DTC and it was not intalled when we install SQL on the server.
How do I install DTC? Did I miss an obscure option during SQL install?
Customer has an SBS 2000 server setup, and had installed SQL Server 2000 on it. They have an application (Time Slips) which I thought could use SQL, but apparently they bought the standard edition which only supports the use of MSDE.
I thought MSDE was like SQL 2000 "lite". I want to house the MSDE database on the server, but it says it cannot find MSDE.
Do I need to uninstall SQL 2000 Server? And where do I go to install MSDE properly on the server, and what is required for each W2K Pro workstation?
Please forgive me if this sounds so silly, but I am a complete newbie on SQL SERVER (the only think I ve worked on so far is Access) and I need help.
I ve just installed the SQL Server 2005 and the things I have are about configuation, such as: -sql server configuration manager -sql server error and usage reporting -sql server surface area configuration -notification services command prompt -reporting services configuration
Is that all? Did I miss anything? How am I supposed to create databases? How can I connect remotely to another server (database)?
I know I may sound stupid but Im on the beginning and I would so much appreciate any kind of help.
After the long winded process of installing SQL Server 2005 - Developer Edition...
I am currently in the process of starting to use the program... Been looking all over the Internet (Google Video/YouTube) for the setting up my database, checking connections etc...
Can someone go through the process... of setting up all the checks and using SQL,,,, I want to start creating simple select queries for Northwind...
Hi I had earlier installed a SQL 2000 personal Edition and with it I also installed a database called AdventureWorks, that I was using along with a Book on Beginning T-SQL. Today I uninstalled the personal edition to install SQL 2000 Developer edition to work on Reporting Services. I install personal edition and installed the developer edition. When I started the enterprise manager, I could not see the AdventureWorks database. I reinstalled it several times but still cannot see it come up in the enterprise manager nor in the data analyzer. I can see that the database files -mdf and ldf - has installed ok in the directory C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLData but i cannot still see the database in enterprise manager. It apprears as if enterprise manager is looking at a different folder. Can someone please help? Much appreciated.
Hi all, Im new here so il start with a little introduction of myself, My name is Arjan im 19 years old from Holland, and i work for a company to compleet my ICT Education.
My situation:
My boss gave me a server with server 2003 standard and Sql server 2005 and visual studio 2005 installed already, he asked me if i could figure out how the 'new' reporting services work, Im pretty new to SQL and the reporting service but i figured out i had to install asp.net / frameworks and IIS.
So right now i wanna start the Reporting Services Configuration Manager and i get an error that says 'Invalid namespace' and when im trying to approach by using my browser i get 'page not found' so obviously their is Alot wrong. I asked my boss if i could not reinstall everything and do it in the correct order (IIS / ASP.net / Frameworks before installing SQL server 2k5 but that was not an option because we dont seem to have the cd's anymore.
The server is not connected to any network or the internet.
My Question:
Is their any way to fix this? and if yes could anyone tell me where to start
Thanks in Advance!
ps if their is information or logs that u need in order to help me just say so :-)
hi! i d like to ask the following: can i create a database through visual studio? or i need to have sql server seperately installed on my computer and do it from there?
During the SQL2005 installation on the on one of our servers, a component of SQL2005 was apparently not checked for installation. As a result, it was not installed. That component is called SSIS.
At least that's what my research said.
As a result, anytime we would attempt to import flat file (txt), it would fail with some SSIS package error.
We communicated this to our SQL Admin and he said he had reinstalled the SSIS component.
Yet, we are still having the same problem importing flat files.
2 questions:
1, Is there a way to verify that SSIS has or has not been installed? 2, Is it really the reason a flat file could not imported?
After installing MS SQL Server 7 several databases appears in the databasefolder named: distribution, master, model, msdb, northwind, pubs and tempdb.Is it safe to delete any of those pre-installed bases?Regards Kim Christensen
