I want to copy a database on a remote server to a local instance of SQL Server. I created a package that has the Copy SQL Server Task in it, but it seems to fail half way through every time i execute it.
I can view the local machine error log which simply reports that the table transfer was attempted.. but no explanation of why it fails. I don't have access to the host error log files either, so I have no idea why it fails.
I once almost got the 'Copy SQL Server Task' to work, but it would create duplicate records in the destination database, which I didn't want. It seems choosing the intuitive options like 'replace existing data' and choosing the table I want copied over.. does not work. I am not 100% sure the 2 databases are referentially identical either.. so it would be nice to know how to do a copy by first deleting the entire database on the destination machine, then recreating it all.
Can anyone give me some advice on which options I need to choose to achieve a proper database copy? Or, if you could show me a tutorial online that could explain how all the options work, and how I can debug what's causing my current method to fail, would be nice.
My goal is need to synch couple of tables in QA and Prod. I used "Copy SQL Server Objects Task" in DTS package with copy option "replace existing data". It is trying to truncate and insert new data. But BOL is says "Overwrite existing data in the destination objects with the new data from the specified source". Let me know your thought about this.
I create a new SSIS package, drag in an Execute DTS 2000 Package Task, select and embed a DTS package which consists only one one task (as above), and then change the source & destination details (svr + user/pwd). Then when I go to the Copy tab, I get the following error when I hit Select Objects, to view the objects which the embedded DTS package should copy:
SQL-DMO error 21776: general error.
On further inspection, none of the objects selected for copy within the atomic/original DTS package, remain selected for copy within the embedded DTS package.
I have googled to search for an answer to this one, but to no avail. Any ideas would be greatly welcomed.
I'm making a copy of some tanles between 2 servers.
Server 1 requires a sql login
Server 2 is using Windows Auth.
I have a user on server 1 named "odbc" able to log in.
however my copy task fails, when I drill the error, it's lists the first user in server 1 alphabetically as the failed login???? but in my dts I am specifying the "odbc" user and password.
I think I have a permissions problem on server 1. So my Question, what minimum permissions does user "odbc" need to copy a table?
On server 1 I can copy from northwind to server 2 just fine..but any other db on server 1 causes the weird failure with the wrong username.
Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.
Have you ever gotten an error when copying a task in the designer? I can't copy a task. That's going to be a pain for developing big packages. I have already uninstalled BIDS and installed Visual Studio and still get the error. Any thoughts on what could I could remove and reinstall to get a working environment? Would removing VS and SQL 2005 and all its components work? I ran some of the CTP cleanup tools (ttool and msiinv) and they reported no problems and no beta software

I have a SQL2000 database that I need to copy tables from to my SQL2005 database. The table in the 2000 database are owned by a login named tsreader. This login is also in the dbo database role. So, when I access tables I have to prefix tha table name with tsreader. Currently in a SQL2000 database I have DTS packages that pull data over from this database everynight and they work fine. However when I try to do this from SSIS, I get the error "Object does not exist". My assumption is that it is trying to access the database tables as a "select * from tablea" as opposed to "select * from tsreader.tablea".
Any thoughts on how to make this work? I know I have the login correct because it is the same one I use for the SQL 2000 packages. Also, in SSIS it allows me to chose the tables I want yet I still get "Table does not exist at source" when I try and execute it.
how do I copy a folder from an FTP location using the FTP task in SSIS. Currently, I can only move the files in the folder one after the other but I want to copy the folder at once.
It always occurs at the task (control flow) level and never at the component (data flow) level
It always occurs on the 'copy' action.
I have tried all the msxml/registry recommendations to no avail.

I'm using a Business Intelligence project to copy stored procedures and tables from one database to another across servers. I'm having trouble copying tables or stored procedures using the Management.SMO.Transfer class.
I tried copying stored procedure with the property transfer.CopyAllStoredProcedures = true. This didn't work. As a workaround, I used the StringCollection property and executed every string as sql.
Now I'm having trouble copying tables. I don't want to copy all the tables in the database. How do I go about selecting what tables to copy. I tried using ObjectList property and provided the names of the tables in an ArrayList. I get the error
"Transfer cannot process System.String. You need to pass an instance class object."
How can I pass an "instance class object" for something that's in the database? The ScriptTransfer method fails so I can't even see the script that is being generated. There is virtually no documentation for this class.
We have a built a custom control flow task that we use frequently. It has a simple user interface form where we can set certain properties. Problem is, after I configure it once and then copy and paste it all of the internal property settings seem to be lost on the newly pasted task. When I open up the editor for the task all of the properties are displayed visually in the editor form, but the properties pane is empty.
I need to copy a just-created bak file to another drive after the backup task has completed. I don't see anything in the job toolbox which works with file system operations like this. But still it must be a common need..There are ways to script this or use third part tools but I am looking for something native to the sql server 2012 SSMS toolset, if possible.
An alternate approach would be to run the backup job again, after the main backup, and change the destination to the alternate location. But I was thinking that another backup job would probably invoke more overhead on the server than a simple file copy operation. If I do end up taking this approach I could also use the cleanup task to toss older bak files in the alt dir.
I am using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
In short, does the €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? support distributed transactions?
In trying to use a €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? in a container using a transaction on the container. The task is set to support the transaction. It is setup to copy table data from several tables from a non-domain server (sql server 2000) to a domain-based server (sql server 2005). I get an error stating, €œThis task can not participate in a transaction€?.
I am wondering if it means exactly what it says €“ this task in SSIS can€™t participate at all. Or does it mean that it won€™t in this scenario for some reason. I attempted a simple copy of data from mssql 2005 to mssql 2005 (same server) and the task still failed). MSDTC appears to be running properly on my machine and such (I can do a simple distributed transaction across linked server to the 2000 server in Query Analyzer (QA)). Also, MSDTC appears to be working on both servers with distributed transaction query tests in QA.
Here€™s the error info€¦
SSIS package "Development BusinessContacts and Products Migration.dtsx" starting. Information: 0x4001100A at Copy BusinessContacts Data: Starting distributed transaction for this container.

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.
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.

Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Using "Integration Services Project" template in Business Intelligence Studio. Using platforms Visual Studio 2005 along with SQL Server 2005.
Getting the error while trying to execute package after loading it programmaticaly.
I've just one task "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" on my Integration Services package. But when I try to execute it from VS 2005 project programmaticaly, it gives the above mentioned error.
The commands I use:
Package pkg = new Package();
pkg = a.LoadPackage(@"C:Documents and SettingsabcMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectslSSISSSISPackage.dtsx", null, true);
DTSExecResult dResult = pkg.Execute();
The the error comes like: error: 0xc0012024 The task Transfer SQL Server Objects Task cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires higher level edition.
I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022'; go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy
Hi! I did: alter database mydb set single_user with rollback immediate; exec sp_detach_db @dbname='mydb', @keepfulltextindexfile='true';
then I tried to copy files to new location on other drives, same server but got >>Cannot copy <myfile>: Access is denied Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use<<
I also tried rename of file without success. I also tried with db service stoppet (not preferred) without success.

Here is what I want to do:
I want to copy sales rows from the SQL Server 2008 database at our hosting company and save them in the SQL Server 2014 Express database on our local Windows 2012 server. I'd like to automate this if possible so that it happens each night perhaps. I know there is a way to schedule SQL jobs but I've never actually done this. I also would need to know how to attach to our hosting company DB as well as our local network DB.
Can anyone refer me to good 'recipes' or sources of information on thistopic??I have Visual Studio Tools for Office, which installs SS 2005 Expresslocally to my XP box, and I want to develop in SS 2005, then copy thetables or queries or reports etc. to a SS 2005 Standard server.Thank you, Tom
Any help would be greatly appreciated.My problem is that I need to set up a backup SQL Server 2000 machinewhich can be used in case of a failure to my primary. All databases(30 as of now) must be an up to the minute exact copy of productionand include most recent changes in data as well as any structurechanges (Tables, Views, SP's, Triggers, Users . . etc).When I tried this using Transactional Replication, the replicationprocess gets fouled up once I introduce any kind of structure changesto the DB. I've considered the idea of doing periodic backups andrestoring it to my backup SQL server, but this does not give me theconcurrency needed with 0 latency.I've seen articles that recommend using Transaction Replication with'Scheduled Table Refresh', and also doing database dumps to restore onthe backup machine, but I have not been able to find any documentationregarding this to try out. How can I implement this type of backupstrategy in SQL 2000?
I want to schedule a job which pulls files from a non SQL server (Sybase) which later needs to have a step 2 kicking the ssis package. Problem is that, on the source a batch file will run every 4 hours and outputs total of 10 text files. (takes 5 minutes complete). Now, on destination i want to pull these files via SQL job but while scheduling;
1. I don't see any option saying like 4 hours 10 minutes or so 2. If its out there, then i believe this might be a problem as this time would be an increment one e.g next run would be 4 hours 20 minutes in that case.
How should i achieve pulling these files up because we have an SSIS package on destination that needs those text files to be used as soon as they arrive on SQL server(destination)
I have two SQL Server tables on the same server and in the same database. I'll call them table A and table B. They have identical schemas. I need to insert all rows in table A into table B. (Don't laugh - this is just for testing and long run the tables will reside on different servers.)
Can someone please tell me the correct task to use for this and the connection type I need for both the source and destination?
Hello! What is the best way to make a copy of an existing sql server database to another (physical) server? Plan to make a full backup of another sql server database to another server. I've read about detach and attach and copying the datafiles and log files but some say it is prone to data loss? Is this true?
And another thing, what if the existing sql server can't affor downtime for me to copy db files etc.?
I try to copy database from remote SQL Server(6.5) to our local SQL Server(7.0). I try this way: First, in Enterprice Manager, I try "NEW SQL SERVER REGISTRATION" using "Register SQL Server wizard". The remote server give me the IP, login name and password. then, I try connect option by "login using SQL Server". But I got message say:"specialted server not found, Connection open,create file". some times say:"client server access denied..." some times say:"timeout". What's going on here? So, I can not get going on with "Import data wizard".
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Any answer would be of great assistance!
Ok, here is my dilemma I have an application that has many sites. Each site has it's own database. The databases have common tables (ie the name and fields are the same) What I want to be able to do is when creating a new database, I want to be able to copy certain common table data from one database to another. I have run into an error because the table have an IDENTITY so this is not working
INSERT INTO Containers SELECT * FROM ADMS2_Indian_Point.dbo.Containers
I also tried USE ADMS2_RSCS GO SET IDENTITY_INSERT Containers ON GO INSERT INTO Containers SELECT * FROM ADMS2_Indian_Point.dbo.Containers GO SET IDENTITY_INSERT Containers OFF GO
I got an error saying that I need to have a column list. I am trying to use this for any tables, so my question is this.. Is there any way to get around using a column list or is there a way to dynamically create the column list? Or, Is there a better way that I should be doing this?
Please keep in mind I am not a dba and everything I have learned about SQL is from my good pal Google :)
