DTS Data Transform Task: How To Hide DB And Schema Names?
Mar 25, 2008
Hi All,
I'm stuck up with a strange problem.
When i try to setup a Transform Data task in DTS, the table drop down shows fully qualified table name.
i.e. <database name>.<schema name>.<table name>
as you can see in the attached screenshot. With this I cant see the full table name and am not able to make the correct selection.
Where can i change the properties so that it displays only the table name?
Thanks
Rohit

The Solution that I Currently have is to Transform using the DTS 2000 Package Task.
Is there a way that I can perform this task by using SSIS

Hello, I am working on a module to extract data from a Teradata server to SQL database. I am using a DTS package to extract the data and need to make the data source name (database name and object name) configurable at runtime and to be read from a Config table in the SQL database. What do you suggest is the simplest and most efficient method to do this?
I am trying to use a dynamic SQL query in the data tranform task with the data source as a query. But its giving me a strange syntax error. Can we use a dynamic SQL in the query option of DTS transform task source?
Thanks, Meriya

I am importing data from xls file to a db table with a dts. In the time of the dts creation I am using 'Transform Data Task Properties' GUI window to map incoming xls fields (source) to the table columns (destination).
Question: Is there any way to invoke the 'Transform Data Task Property' GUI window in dts runtime and use it to change the mapping dynamically in the run time?
Thanks, Vadim.

Hi everybody
I'm still trying to learn the advantage of having stored procedures. I have a DTS that uses a Transform Data Task to append the result of a view into a table. All operations are done locally in the server.
Do I have any advantage if I write a stored procedure to insert the view into the table, and then call the stored procedure in the DTS, in stead of using the Transform Data Task ?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts

I am trying to read in a flat file, transform the fields and store into a destination database.
In DTS, this works using Transform Data Task Properties. I define the columns and then have a VB script on the Transformations tab that changes any bad data.
Is there a way to do this in SSIS that I can define the column transformations and re-use my VB scripts?

I have an Access 2.0 database that holds call data on a mapped drive. I am running MS SQL Server 2000. I can open it and view the records inside. I can even run the query below and get results, if I removed the CallDate and CallTime parameters.
SELECT CallDate, CallTime, Mid(CallRecordData, 68, 3) AS Extension, 'I' AS Direction, Mid(CallRecordData, 34, 11) AS Called,
Val(Mid(CallRecordData, 18, 2)) + Val(Mid(CallRecordData, 21, 2))/ 60 AS Minutes, Val(Mid(CallRecordData, 21, 2)) AS Seconds
FROM CallRecords
WHERE (CallDate = ?) AND (CallTime >= ?) AND (CallTime < ?) AND (Mid(CallRecordData, 30, 1) <> '9')
When I preview in the Transform Data Task, I get:
Package Error
Error Source: Microsoft JET Database Engine
Error Description: No value given for one or more required parameters.
When I look at the parameters, they are listed. I check their values, and they have the appropriate values (DateCalled, String, 07/14/2005) (StartTime, String, 06:30) (EndTime, String, 07:00)
When I run it in the build query or in Access with a linked table to the source, I can enter the values when asked for them and it works.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

i have too many DTS packages to migrate to SSIS, and while examining a DTS package in BIDS (converted with the migration utility) i tried to edit the resulting migrated package, which opened the DTS interface with the two connection icons joined by the big fat arrow with a gear on it...not exactly what i had in mind, iow, it looks like SSIS on the outside, but its still DTS on the inside.
So I stripped out a series of components from a more complex package hoping that simplifying it would reveal the contents of old DTS Transformations tab at least partially set up in a Derived Column transformation.
Can i get there from here, or must i recreate every stinking definition in a derived column manually from the ground up?
thanks very much for your help

Hi JayH (or anyone). Another week...a new set of problems. I obviously need to learn .net syntax, but because of project deadlines in converting from DTS to SSIS it is hard for me to stop and do that. So, if someone could help me some easy syntax, I would really appreciate it.
In DTS, there was a VBScript that copied a set of flat files from one directory to an archive directory after modifying the file name. In SSIS, the directory and archive directory will be specified in the config file. So, I need a .net script that retrieves a file, renames it and copies it to a different directory.
Linda
Here is the old VBScript Code:
Public Sub Main()
Option Explicit
Function Main()
Dim MovementDataDir
Dim MovementArchiveDataDir
Dim MovementDataFile
Dim MovementArchiveDataFile
Dim FileNameRoot
Dim FileNameExtension, DecimalLocation
Dim CurMonth, CurDay
Dim FileApplicationDate
Dim fso ' File System Object
Dim folder
Dim FileCollection
Dim MovementFile
'======================================================================
'Create text strings of today's date to be appended to the archived file.
FileApplicationDate = Now
CurMonth = Month(FileApplicationDate)
CurDay = Day(FileApplicationDate)
If Len(CurMonth) = 1 Then
CurMonth = "0" & CurMonth
End If
If Len(CurDay) = 1 Then
CurDay = "0" & CurDay
End If
FileApplicationDate = CurMonth & CurDay & Year(FileApplicationDate)
'=====================================================================
' Set the movement data directory from the global variable.
MovementDataDir = DTSGlobalVariables("gsMovementDataDir").Value
MovementArchiveDataDir = DTSGlobalVariables("gsMovementDataArchiveDir").Value
fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
folder = fso.GetFolder(MovementDataDir)
FileCollection = folder.Files
' Loop through all files in the data directory.
For Each MovementFile In FileCollection
' Get the full path name of the current data file.
MovementDataFile = MovementDataDir & "" & MovementFile.Name
' Get the full path name of the archive data file.
MovementArchiveDataFile = MovementArchiveDataDir & "" & MovementFile.Name
DecimalLocation = InStr(1, MovementArchiveDataFile, ".")
FileNameExtension = Mid(MovementArchiveDataFile, DecimalLocation, Len(MovementArchiveDataFile) - DecimalLocation + 1)
FileNameRoot = Mid(MovementArchiveDataFile, 1, DecimalLocation - 1)
MovementArchiveDataFile = FileNameRoot & "_" & FileApplicationDate & FileNameExtension
If (fso.FileExists(MovementDataFile)) Then
fso.CopyFile(MovementDataFile, MovementArchiveDataFile)
' If the archive file was coppied, then delete the old copy.
If (fso.FileExists(MovementArchiveDataFile)) Then
fso.DeleteFile(MovementDataFile)
End If
End If
Next
fso = Nothing
folder = Nothing
FileCollection = Nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function

We run std 2008 r2. I'm looking at the files this transform is complaining about. They seem to be named appropriately. The customerid folders don't exist when this runs. I'm going to put one in place to see if that is the problem.
The errors i'm getting are...
[Export Column [22]] Error: The file name "c:usersmyuserid heprojectnamecustomeridafilename.doc" is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters.
[Export Column [22]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "component "Export Column" (22)" failed because error code 0xC020207F occurred,
and the error row disposition on "input column "FILENAME" (29)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "Export Column" (22) failed with error code 0xC0209029
while processing input "Export Column Input" (23). The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component,but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.

I can't seem to find a sample code, either here or on the net - - so I'll go ahead and ask...
What I'm looking for is a sample of how to query a database, so that I can populate a listbox with the table names from a database - - and then, populate another listobx with the field names from the database, in order to build a user-driven sql statement builder....
either of the above (at least the field name part) - either a code sample, or a link, will be greatly appreciated) - -

The thing is I am using a DTS package to get data from db2 residing on a s390-mainframe and put it in a sql 2000 db on windows 2000 server..
I have the odbc driver that the server guys gave me..I installed it and then run a batch pgm, which i think does the database set up...in short i set up the DSN's in my local machine..I can use the dsn when i use the sql client...
I can't create a new package and then complete the task..Problem is when i try set up a transform task, i get a memory error...it says that the instruction referenced a memory location that can't be read...
So what i do is i use the import task in sql...which inturn uses the same odbc connection and runs the query on db2..inserts the results into a table in sql..then save the package...Only problem is that i can't edit the transorm task...same memory error...
Any idea why this happens ?? I would like to see how i can get past this using Odbc...

I wihsh to discuss whether to use fully qualified names:[database].[schema].objectof objects to operate (create, query..) on is good or not?If someone change order of sql code blocks in my script - this may causelose of it's context (like: use master / use <mydb>..). I wish to have mysript independed on changes like this and always produce correct result.Does using full name make use of 'use <db>' statement unnecessary?

When reverse engineering a SQL Server 2005 database (using VS 2007 Professional), I can't figure out a way to display the schema name in front of the table name in the database diagram. For instance, If I have a table named Person.Type, it just comes over as Type. It knows what the schema is because it's in the properties box for that object. It just doesn't appear in the name on the shape itself. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing that will display the schema in the name?

Hello:
I am running an application on mssql 6.5, sp 4 on NT 4.0.
We routinely chnage paswords for the sa login. One loophole for users to
learn the sa password is in scheduler tasks underr EM when a task is
added to run under cmdexec, the password is written in text under the -P
paramater.
1) Is there any way to encrypt the password there or does any one have a
stored procedure or function to do s?
1) Which executible, if any, runs the scheduled tasks under EM? Is this
part of EM or is there any specific executible that runs the scheduled
tasks?
Any information oyu can provide or suggestions you cna make will be
appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
I would like to use SSIS tool to move the data from one database schema to another database schema.
For example:
Source table has
1. UserName (varchar 20) (no null)
2. Email (varchar 50) (can be null)
Destination table has
1. UserID (uniqueidentifier - GUID)
2. UserName (varchar 50) (no null)
3. EmailAddress (nvarchar 50) (can be null)
4. DateTime
Questions:
1. What controls do I use in my Data Flow to make data move between databases with different data types and include new value in UserID as a new GUID and DateTime as a date (GETDATE)?
OLE DB Source, OLE DB Destination, Data Converson and .....
How do I insert Guid and Date at the same time?
2. I have many tables to do data moving. Any sugestions? How do I architect my project? If I create many data flows for each table - it will look complicated.
Please give me some advices here.
Thanks.

I have a package with an XML Task with OperationType = Validate. The source is a string variable and the second operand is a file connection to a schema file. The schema file <include>'s other schemas. I run the package in debug mode in Visual Studio with no errors. I exit Visual Studio. Then I open Visual Studio again and run the package in debug mode like before and it fails in the xml task with error: "Task failed to validate "No schema to use in validation was found.". I don't understand why it fails since no changes were made. The strange thing is that if I click the File Connection Manager for the schema file and click Browse and then reselect the same schema file again then it runs OK. Note that I have to exit Visual Studio and not just close the package in order to repro the error. It seems like exiting Visual Studio frees some resource that is essential to the validation. Reselecting the schema file in the Connection Manager seems to restore the resource. (SP1)

Hi,
On my MS SQL Server 2000, I am trying to create a generic way to load tables into my datawarehouse.
I have as input to the process a large number of table definition(s) stored individually as files on my server. And, ascii delimited data files in various locations but mostly accessible via NFS mounts.
I created two DTS package in MSSQL2K that in theory represents what I want to do:
package1
... invoke package2 with global variables to load a system of related tables
package2
... check for a trigger file
... set the "Execute SQL Task" statement to my first file
... run the "Execute SQL Task" which drop/add's a table
... set a "Connection" to a data source file that I want to use
... run the transformation
and, with that my package starts to fall apart
... set the "Execute SQL Task" statement to the next file, and
...... goback and execute it
I can't figure out how to set the table in the transformation section to the table I want to use. And, I assume next to have the transformations links between the source and new table relinked.
The source files contain in the first row the column names as found in the tables I just created.
thanks,
Dave Rowsome

Okay all I have a problem. I have two list of adresses and phonenumbers. I do not have control over the contents of the lists The onlyunique field between the two is the phone number. I need to be able toinner join the two lists on phone number.This would normally be straigt forward but the problem is that they areformated different and one of them does't even have a control on theformating.*Phone numbers are US phone numbers only.The one list (table) that does have a control uses this formatAAA3334444where AAA is the area code333 is the 3 digit prefix4444 is the four digit suffixthe second list (table) does not have any standardized formating andcan be filled with extraneous spaces, parentheses and dashes not tomention the leading 1 in some instances.I thought that I could do some kind of regular expression to do acomparison but I havn't as yet found a good resource to tell me how todo it or if it is even possible. Or maybe break up the one I know hasa standardized format into something like this:'%AAA%333%4444%' and doing my comparison that way. however It is veryimportant that only those list items in both list that are truly thesame place be listed.suggestions and solutions are apreciated

High all,
I have a very simple SSIS package that is moving data from a DB2 database to a Teradata box. I've run it around 10 times, twice it pushed data over, the balance of the time, it executes with no error, but moves nothing over. In the "incomplete" runs, a command line box pops up for half a second, then the package ends.
Does anyone have ideas as to why this behavior is occurring?
Thanks,
Mark

Is is possible to hide "salary" or other sensitive data from a person who is a Sys-Admin. My belief is that there is no way. Please correct me.....
Assumptions: SQL Service account has Local Admin privelege.
Sysadmin can do anything on local machine, including run scripts adding themselves to any default/instance of SQL on the machine.
