DTS Package Excel Connection - Please Advise
Feb 5, 2007
Hi,
I'm using MS SQL 2000 and I want to export data from MS SQL
database to MS Excel file. So, I choose the DTS package tool to do
this job.
I try to create the connection to the Excel file, which located in the
shared location by using the UNC path, e.g.
\servernamefoldernamefilename.xls However, I cannot provide the
username/password to connect to the file's location. So, the connection
does not work.
Do you have any idea how to create the Excel connection along with
shared username/password ?
Anyway, if it is not possible :o any advices about exporting MS SQL
data to MS Excel sheet via DTS packages are still welcome....
(The reason that I prefer DTS package bec. I can schedule the job
to run it automatically)
Thank you in advance.

I insert/update thousands of line items daily to my MS SQL 2k db each day from multiple excel sheets that are uploaded. In Microsoft's infinite wisdom Excel and MS SQL is not "Fully" compatible and some characters throw off the uploads, cause errors in loading, etc. Each Excel sheet has from a few rows up to 50,000 rows or more. We load around 100 of these Excel sheets each day depending on what our users upload.
Our main problem appears to be with "Special Characters", anything that is not a number or letter seems to be an issue in loads. We have written our scripts to ignore a certain set of characters such as #,!, -, ', ", [, ], {, }, +, =, *, %, ~, `, <,>, etc. But we still get errors. This has become a frustrating nightmare. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried ASP scripts, VB created exe's, converting the Excel sheet to a text file, then uploading, and other various means to get this process error free. Some files never have issues loading, some excel files will error out and not at the same point each time. We can run the same file 5 times in a row and it will stop/error at a different point each time without any rhyme or reason.
Now we are not just doing an "Insert", there are several variables that are at work when loading the data, like combining exact items into one row, associating data with ID's in another table, etc. It is not just a simple, take this data and place it here scenerio which makes this a serious headache to figure out how to make this error free and troubleshoot.
Is there some information or a direction I should look to consider a solid solution to importing data from Excel sheets to a MS SQL 2k db? These files are loaded into a specific folder and on upload they are also recorded in a table marked ready for update in the db. Our scheduler runs the exe associated with that users ID and loads their data, overwriting their previous data load, then marks the file as done.
Is there a proven method, some external program that can be used to make this a solid process, or any direction you can provide for me to research?

How can I use a foreach loop container with an Excel connection manager. It is virtually impossible to configure the ConectionString property through expressions builder.

I've put together a SSIS package that, once a user uploads an Excel spreadsheet from a webpage, grabs it, does a mess of calculations and spits it out into a datareader (this last part is tricky, but I haven't even gotten to this point yet). In BIDS, the package works fine. Run using the 32-bit version of dtexec, it runs fine. But when I try to call it from the page, I keep getting an error. The errors look familiar enough that I'm thinking it's due to the package trying to run 64-bit, and that not playing nicely with Excel. If that's true, is there an easy way to force the 32-but version to be used? I've already set the project properties to Run64BitRuntime = false, which I'd hoped would help. but no luck.
Here's the code I'm using:
Code Snippet
string pkg = @"pathpackage.dtsx";
Application app = new Application();
Package p = app.LoadPackage(p, null);
Variable varFileName = p.Variables["strExcelFileName"];
varFileName.Vaue = strFileName;
Variable varFilePath = p.Variables["strExcelFilePath"];
varFilePath.Value = strFilePath;
DTSExecResult dte = p.Execute();
Error handling
p.Dispose();
And it kicks out the following:

Hello,
I've SQL Server running on 64 bit. When I schedule a package to run every night which has excel data transformation, it fails. Initally I had a problem running through BIDS also but then I found in project properties you can switch this off by specifying property Run64BitRuntime by false. After going through some forums, many have suggested that when scheduling a package, modify the command arguments to run as 32bit runtime. These command argumnents can be generated from making use of tool DTExecUI.exe Even after using generated command arguments from this tool, it doesn't help.
Below is my command argument and the error message generated.

Halo all
I have a problem with "timeout expired. Thei timeout periode elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occured because all pooled connections were use and max pool size was reached"
Then i explore and found out that i did not close my SqlDataReader, SqlDataAdapter, SqlCommand or my connection.
But i have a function that return a SqlDataReader.
Is this function will cause a connection problem?
Thanks in advance
Public Function GetDataReader(ByVal strSQL As String, ByVal DBCon As DB.DBConnection) As SqlDataReader Dim MyCommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(strSQL, DBCon.GetConnection())
If DBCon.GetConnection().State = ConnectionState.Closed Then DBCon.GetConnection().Open() End If
Dim dr As SqlDataReader = MyCommand.ExecuteReader()
Return dr
dr.Close()
End Function

i have an SSIS package that exports to an excel file. This works fine. the problem is that it appends the data instead of overwriting the file. Is there any way to overwrite the file like you can with a flat file? I have to email the file everyweek and don't want to have to clear it out manually. Any help would be appreciated

I am trying to create a DTS Package which will run a SQL query and export the results to an Excel file. I would like to the name of the excel to be "dynamic". What I would like is for the name to be ChronicDownSiteReport - mmddyy.xls. The mmddyy is the date which the package is executed.
How can I do this?
Also, I want this package to be excuted at 1am every Sunday Morning. I have attempted to schedule this to run, but when I come to work on Monday, the excel file is not present and the email, which is sent telling me that the file was created is not in my mailbox.

Both the OLE DB Connection and ADO.Net Connection in SSIS Package does not remember password.
Im connecting to a SQL Server 2000 box using its sa password as test.
The SSIS package runs fine when you first set up the connection in bids
The bottom line is that SSIS keeps forgetting the password I feed into
the two Connections that I'm using. I double-click a connection,
type the password in, check "Save my password" and hit "OK" but the
password disappears from there whenever I run the package or
double-click the connection again.
is there any known workaround for this issue as I would like to schedule my SSIS package using a SSIS Step in a SQL Server 2005 Agent job.
the only thing I found when googling this error was link below but the workaround described here is a little harsh

thanks in advance
Dave
the box SSIS is running on is Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition latest service pack
SQL Server 2005 (no service packs )

I need to get the output of a SSIS package in an Excel.
I have made a Stored Procedure for getting the output, since the output has variable number of columns hence i have made a table through the stored procedure which is dynamically created when the procedure is executed.
Now i have a table in SQL with the output data.
Any pointers, how to put it into an excel??

Hi,
I have a created a DTS packges which is reading data from sql server table, manipulate this data as required and then create a text file with that data. I created the text file using FileSystemObject. I was writing one field at a time to the text file.
I need to same thing but instead of creating text file, I need to create a excel file with each column from database going to separate column in excel sheet. I tried to do this with FileSystemObject, but it was wrting all the columns from database to one cell in excel sheet. How can I fix this problem?
Thanks!

I've got a slight problem, and a few questions.
Problem: When making my DTS package dump from a SQL Server 2000 table to an Excel file, it keeps appending data. Unfortunately, deleting from the Excel file doesn't seem to work.. in a manual export, I tried the option to delete current table..and I got the error "Deleting data in a linked table is not supported by this ISAM." Creating a DTS package and adding a truncate task that does "delete * from my_table" generates the same error.
How do I wipe out the Excel file before dumping to it again?
Also, I need the ability to dump to a few different sheets within one Excel file, AND use formulas as well. Are there any helpful web sites that document how to do this using DTS?
Thanks!

I have a DTS package that needs to refresh data in 3 separate Excelspreadsheets on a daily basis. The problem is that unless I manuallydelete the previous day's data, it appends rather than replaces.I can't delete the excel files on a daily basis, as they have to bethere for the DTS package to be able to export to Excel. What I wantto do is create a VBScript (ActiveX Control) to delete all the rows ofdata except the first row within each spreadsheet as the first step ofthe DTS package. Then the remaining steps would run and thespreadsheets would only have the current day's data at the end of theprocess.Thanks for any help offered.

Hi,
I am looping through excel files to import data into a sql server table.
Added a filename variable.
This variable gets set inside a foreach loop container.
In the Dataflow tab, there is a;
excel source
oledb source
In the design mode, there is an error icon (red circle with cross in it).
Can not acquire connection from connection manager.
In the connection manager, the excel connection file path is empty. It is empty because I think the variable should be assigned to it.
So when I ruun the ssis package I get this error:
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection" failed with error code 0x.....
Any thoughts please?
Thanks

I currently have a export that takes data from my SQL Server 2005 DB and exports it into Excel. This process works correctly. My excel template has the first row headers and the data is dumped in the row after the header. I would like to know if it is possible for me to add borders around my data without doing it within the template? I don't know how much data is going to be exported so I can't put borders within the template. I put borders around the headers to see if it will copy the formatting down to the data and it didn't. Thank You for any help.

Version: SQL Server 7.0App: MS Access 2000I created DTS to move records from MySQL to SQL Server (approx over 500,000+per months dataset) for purpose of canned and adhoc reporting. The apphave a simple interface using MS Access where user will input the timeframeof the dataset they will process.Both servers are physically located in the same bldg from another state.Previous to MySQL, they send us cd in text format and my app runs the DTSusing a BAT file containing the DTSRUN command. But I would like stay awayfrom the DTSRUN since they take awhile to load to the server, plus it runson background on client pc. I wanted a functionality where it will run onthe server without user supervision, and they can go about their businessand do something else. In other words, let the server do majority of thework.Now that MySQL came into the picture, the Network Support created a filedsnwhere sqlserver sits and I use that as a reference on my DTS (using UNC,\myserverfile$sample.dsn)The problem:1) I work from home and when creating and running this DTS's, it takes awhile to process;2) When specifying the UNC path on DTS and saved, for some reason itswitches to the User/System DSN section;3) I also tested from office with the same result (i connect using cablemodem)Now the only way I can think of to solve this problem:a) save the DTS as a file and send it over to Network Support and have themload it up and manually change the source location OR have them modify theDTS and change the source locationb) then create a DTS jobThe person who will be running this DTS might be running it from home oroffice. Also, is there a way to automate the DTS job using an SP? I wantedto make it as easier as possible for the end user, where all they have to dois enable the job and run only for this time and for this package.TIA!Bob

on the 1st opening of my web page it uses the membership control of asp.net
for logging on. sometimes it takes time to logon and worse is, it will
encounter sql server error. that can be resolved by just restarting that
specific page and it will be alright, it will logon normally. this only issue happens only on the first opening of the logon page.
i have read a certain article and it says there that on the first time
you access the sql server, sometimes the sql server needs a little more
time communicating back and forth.
how can i make my log-on page wait a little longer till it communicates
or finishes communicating to the sql server?
im afraid that this may happen once i deploy my web project. i am
expecting over 100 users and they might save to the database all
together. will i encounter problem on this particular?
i am using ASP.NET 2.0 and SQLExpress for this project. pls advise me.
