I have no idea what's going on.. but when I open the SQL DTS designer.. there's no ActiveX Script task on the left toolbar anymore. It used to be there. How do I get it back?? I remember playing around with some dts dll files on my machine... maybe I did something that made it go away (note: the DB server is not on my machine.. I just run Enterprise Manager on my machine to access it). Should I reinstall Enterprise Manager?

I am creating a DTS package to import a .txt file into sql. I have everything in place, but the text file needs to have the last record deleted before the import. I need help with this part
I would like to delete the last record from a fixed width text file before I import it into sql. The number of rows will vary from file to file.
Can any one offer suggestions on the best way to do this.
I understand that I have to use the FSO to open and read the file, but I am not sure the best way to proceed after that.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
Within a SQL 2000 DTS Package I have an ActiveX Script that would go within my transform tasks and update the queries by concatenating a "Where" clause with a date from a database table. This way I could keep track of when the last time I updated the table so that I could only bring down the rows since the last run. How can this be done within SSIS? I've been looking and I'm getting confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to reset the below Global varialbe in SSIS - Activex script.
Function Main()
DTSGlobalVariables("GxvFilename").value =null
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
Getting the below Error when executing the package.
[ActiveX Script Task] Error: Retrieving the file name for a component failed with error code 0x060339E4
Please provide me solution for this.
Thanks,
I'm having a bear of a time with this. I have a recordset that pulls data from one, single table. I would like to iterate through the set, do some processing based on that data, then delete all of the records in that recordset.
I'm trying to do something like the following:
Set dbConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set dbRS = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
dbConn.Open("myConnectString")
dbRS.open dbSQLCmdText, dbConn, 2, 4
While Not dbRS.EOF
Do some stuff
dbRS.Delete
Wend
dbRS.BatchUpdate
dbRS.Close
dbConn.Close
I get an error stating:
"Multiple-Step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done."
This seems to indicate the connection doesn't think it's capable of reconciling the recordset. Is there a way to do this in one batch or should I stick with executing a single delete statement for every record in my recordset?
I'm attempting to call a storedprocedure from within an ActiveX task ina DTS and am getting a "Command Text was not set for the commandobject" error. I have no problem if I replace the stored procedure callwith the actual SQL.Is it possible to directly call a SP via an ActiveX task? If yes, couldsomebody help me with the syntax please?This is what I have currently haveSet Conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")SQL = "exec (MySP)"set RLoop=conn.Execute(SQL)do while (NOT RLoop.EOF)msgbox RLoop(1)RLoop.MoveNextLoopTIAKarthik

Using ActiveX Script Task it is possible create office automation objects such as Word and Excel typically using the CreateObject() Syntax. Can you use this syntax to create a Package object using CreateObject("DTS.Package")? If not Why not? I am not sure whether it was possible in DTS.
I am aware of the fact that ActuveX Script Task is included in this Version of SSIS and will be deprecated.
We have a SQL Server 2005 Cluster that we are trying to send email from to notify when certain jobs have completed, failed, etc. We are having a bit of a problem getting the email to work and I believe that the failure is at the SMTP server, not at the SQL level.
That being said, I'm trying to create a simple SSIS package that I can use to test connectivity to the SMTP server with and send email. I've added an ActiveX Script Task that calls a COM object that actually sends the email. I keep getting a "Function not found." error when I try to execute the package, and I have no idea why I'm getting that. It says that the errors were found during validation.
Can anyone help?
Hi,
I've written a DTS Package to pull information from a number of servers. I have a list of servers (Source Servers) and for each one I automatically update the Datasource property of the Source Server connection using vbscript in an ActiveX Script task and a global variable.
I have a transformation that occurs between the Source server and Target server.
As I process each Source Server in turn, the global variable gets set correctly and so does the Datasource property of the Source Server connection. However the transformation still runs against the first Source Server that was processed.
Looking at BOL it appears that a transformation stays connected even after it has finished. Therefore I assume that although I change the Datasource of the connection to a new server, it still runs against the first server that was used.
My question is how do I get the connection to run against the updated Datasource, i.e. do I need to do a refresh of the Connection, disconnect or what ?
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
thanks
I have a DTS package that I brought over from SQL server 2000 in to SQL Server 2005. I have installed all of the legacy components to run the DTS packages but I need to debug an ActiveX script task. In SQL Server 2000 I could turn on Just-In-Time debugging and use the stop operator (in my vbscript) to break the running script and launch the debugger.
I don't see how to do this in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. Is it possible to debug a script object in a DTS package running in SQL Server 2005?

I need to retrieve the Global Variables set in my package configuration file within an ActiveX Script Task within an SSIS package. In DTS, I could access the Global Variables to execute a SQLXMLBulkLoad for the following statement:
==========================================
Function Main()
Response.Expires=-1
set objBL = CreateObject("SQLXMLBulkLoad.SQLXMLBulkLoad")
objBL.ConnectionString =
"provider=SQLOLEDB.1;server=ABC123;database=MyDB;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
objBL.KeepIdentity = False
objBL.CheckConstraints = False
objBL.Execute DTSGlobalVariables("gv_XSDSchemaFile").Value, DTSGlobalVariables("gv_XMLFullPath").Value
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
set objBL=Nothing
End Function
=========================================
I have tried using the Script Task to write this in VB.NET, however the MSXML4.0 is not exposed within the limited object model of the Script Task Designer. I have written a Data Flow Object using the XML Source, however it requires quite a bit of effort to have the Data Flow Component parse the XML (with 10 hierarchical nodes), transform each and provide a SQL Server Destination. This works, however the XML Source Component requires a hardcoded reference to the XSD Schema file and does not allow for a Global Variable to used. (They do provide this functionality for the XML file source though).
My requirement is to allow for the Global Variable to be passed for the Schema file at runtime. The only way I can think of is to recreate what I was doing in DTS where I could simply pull in the XML and XSD Global Variables and execute the SQLXMLBulkLoad in VB Script.
Any ideas on how to write this in VBScript within the ActiveX Script Task in SSIS?...

This error occurs when the ActiveX task tries to execute:
[ActiveX Script Task] Error: Retrieving the file name for a component failed with error code 0x001B6438.
Anybody know how to troubleshoot these errors? I can't find anything on this error code. The same script works in DTS.
OK. I give up and need help. Hopefully it's something minor ...
I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
Try
ds = CType(Dts.Variables("VP_EMAIL_RESULTS_RS").Value, DataSet)
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.

How do I use ActiveX script in DTS to do a 'Save As' on an excel file and
convert that to a tab delimited text file ?
Help is much appreciated.

I have to put some ActiveX code in the first step of a DTS package, which will search thru all the files in some folder and if it finds a file with filename starting with "Test" (like TestFile.txt), the script will rename it and then use it for transforming data to SQL tables.
In VB Dir$ function could have been used, what should I use in ActiveX?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hello,
I have a DTS package that has an ActiveX task. This task works with access to create databases and push out data to them. The problem is, I'm getting an error trying to establish a connection to the SQL Server database as such:
set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
I get this as a resolution:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;201740
But I wasn't sure since I'm not dealing with ASP. I'm trying to run the task as myself manually, not scheduled also, for testing purposes. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hi there,
Can I be able to call a Activex DLL from Sp or from triggers.
Sachi
Looking for a answer..
I'm attempting to write my first activex script. Not familiar with VB script so bear with what might seem like a simple question.
I'm trying to use an activex script in a dts to do a transformation. I have all the columns as straight copies except for one which I'm doing an activex script. What I'm trying to do is if the date is less than 1900-01-01 I want to default it to 1900-01-01. Every once in awhile a date comes across from the source file with a date of 0001-01-01 which sql doesn't like so I want to default it to 1900-01-01 instead. The script I've created parces fine but when I run the dts I get an error that the activex script encountered an invalid data value for source column LLAI. I don't understand why. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the script.
Function Main()
If DTSSource("LLAI") >= "1900-01-01" Then
DTSDestination("LastActivityISODate") = DTSSource("LLAI")
Else
DTSDestination("LastActivityISODate") = "1900-01-01"
End If
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function

Hi all,
I have a problem with a SQL Agent JOB on SQL 2K SP3 installation (on Win2K Server).
SQL Agent is running under a domain account with local Admin privileges and SA privileges in SQL server.
A job with an ActiveXScript step fails with "Permission denied: 'CreateObject line..."
If I execute the same ActiveXScript as cmdexec step (calling CSript with the VBScript as parameter) it works without any problem.
The ActiveXScript for reference:
Dim oXls
Dim oWorkBook
Dim oSheet
Set oXLS = CreateObject ("Excel.Application")
oXls.Visible = True
oXls.DisplayAlerts = True
Set oWorkBook = oXLS.WorkBooks.Add
Set oSheet = oWorkBook.ActiveSheet
oSheet.Name = "Test AG"
oWorkBook.SaveAs "C:TempTestAg.Xls"
oWorkBook.Close
Set oSheet = Nothing
Set oWorkBook = Nothing
oXls.Quit
Set oXlS = Nothing
Does anybody have any idea why approach 1 fails while approach 2 does work happily?

I ran this activeX script with my DTS package. For debugging purpose I included the message box. The message is showing the actual name of the file but the the file name is not changing to the name display in the message box.
Function Main()
ms_year = year(date())
ms_month = month(date())
ms_day = day(date())
ms_date = ms_year & "_" & ms_month &"_" & ms_day & "_"
dim objFSO, strFullNm
set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFullNm = DTSGlobalVariables("FilePathRoot").value & "IMS_ALL_DONATIONS.txt"
'check to see if file exist and then concatenate the file
if objFSO.FileExists(strFullNm) then
strFullNm = DTSGlobalVariables("FilePathRoot").value & " " & ms_date & "IMS_ALL_DONATIONS.txt"
MsgBox "This is the new filename: " & strFullNm
else MsgBox "File does not exist"
end if
set objFSO = nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
I have a DTS Package Job that needs to pre-check a txt file (see below) with a 'Date' in it. TO compare it with the current Date (execution Date -> today). If they match, move on to the next step and fail otherwise. I don't know how to create an ActiveX script to do this kind of comparison.

I migrated the DTS from 2000, and the migrated SSIS which includes ActiveX script is 11KB, takes 00:00.125 running. I rewrote the SSIS using some new features provided in BIDS, and the new package is 50KB, takes 00:00:6.016 running. Is that normal or maybe because of the efficiency of my code?
thanks.

Is there a source I can go to for ActiveX documentation? I just need to be able to translate some things.
For example:
On Error Resume Next
What does this do within the ActiveX script?
Thanks
I am moving data from Access to SQL Server.
I have a term date field (datetime) whose source values in Access are '1/1/1700'
I am using an Active X Transformation task to change those values to '1/1/1753'
Here is my code
If DTSSource("TERM_DATE").value < '1/1/1753'
then DTSDestination("TERM_DATE").value = '1/1/1753'
else DTSDestination("TERM_DATE") = DTSSource("TERM_DATE")
can't figure out whats wrong

hi all I'm working on a complicated activex script which is a part of a DTS package. Are there some debuggers around that could help make the task easier? Specifically I'm looking for an ActiveX script debugger. Can somebody point me to a tutorial or something? Regards
