DTS Package - Variable Table Name

Feb 21, 2007

Hi,

     I have created a DTS Package which copies data from a Access Database table to a SQL Server table. The DTS Package is scheduled to execute every 15 minutes. Everyday the source table name will change. Is there a way to reset the source table name everyday without changing it through DTS wizard.

Thanks,

Vivek Gupta

Variable Table Names In DTS Package

Jul 20, 2005

I am attempting to export data on a daily basis via DTS to an XLspreadsheet. I would either like to: a) have a separate worksheet inthe spreadsheet for each export or b) a completely differentspreadsheet for each export. Whenever I attempt to use a variable asthe name of my table in the DTS package, it will not let me.Constructing a string and attempting to execute it also fails,although both of these work in query analyzer. Any advice?Peter

Metadata Driven SSIS Package--table Variable

Aug 16, 2005

Is there anyone know if a simple SSIS package (moving data from source table to target table) or task can be called repeatedly using a variable that obtains value once a time from a metadata table containing only table names. Basically, I would like to pass in a table variable to the SSIS package or task to start the ETL for different tables. Thanks a lot!

SSIS Script Task Alters Package Variable, But Variable Does Not Change.

Oct 25, 2006

I'm working on an SSIS package that uses a vb.net script to grab some XML from a webservice (I'd explain why I'm not using a web service task here, but I'd just get angry), and I wish to then assign the XML string to a package variable which then gets sent along to a DataFlow Task that contains an XML Source that points at said variable. when I copy the XML string into the variable value in the script, if do a quickwatch on the variable (as in Dts.Variable("MyXML").value) it looks as though the new value has been copied to the variable, but when I step out of that task and look at the package explorer the variable is its original value.

I think the problem is that the dataflow XML source has a lock on the variable and so the script task isn't affecting it. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem, or know a workaround?

Variable In A Foreach Loop Becomes NULL When Package Executed As Child Package

Dec 3, 2007

I have created a SSIS package with a Foreach Loop including a Data Flow Task, which in turn include a Row Count component which pass the row count value to variable with package scope. The variable is used in an Execute SQL Task following the Data Flow Task.



The package executes successfully when executed on its own, but when executed as a child from a parent package (which only include an Execute Package Task) the variable from the Foreach Loop becomes NULL.



There are a lot of other variables in the package receiving values dynamically without any problem, the row count variable however is the only variable in the package that receives a value as part of a Data Flow (and used in following tasks within the Foreach Loop).



Why does the variable become Null? For your information, I am using a variable with package scope and no variables from the parent package are used or passed from the child package to the parent package.



(For your information, we are running the 64 bit version)

Parent Package Variable Assignment Issue In Child Package.

Dec 26, 2006


We
have one main package from which 7 other child packages are called. We are using
ParentPackage variables to assign values for variables and database connections.



While the values from ParentPackage variable get assigned to some of the
packages properly, to others it doesn€™t assign the value.

For example:
Except for one of the packages the database connection string gets assigned
properly to all other packages.

Similarly, in another package one of the
variables doesn€™t get assigned. In other packages it is assigned properly.

We
have checked all the other property values and they are exactly the same.


We cannot make any head or tail of this erratic behavior.

Please Help.

Run Package On Server CPU Is Done Through SQL Agent: How To Set User Variable In Package Then?

May 9, 2007

Hi,



I have packages stored in SQL store. I was letting users run the packages from a .net app that I made with

Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime

Now I have noticed this causes the packages to run on the client pc cpu, as well as the network traffic is done via the client pc, in my particular case this is slow.

From the doc and in this forum I have found that you can run a package on the Server cpu through sql agent, let packages be run in a sql job. after that you can start a package from an application with the SQL sp_start_job .

But How do you set a user::varibale in a package if you have to start the package from a sql agent job ?

I have a parameter which should take multiple values into it and pass that to the code that i use. For, this i created a parameter and temporarily for testing i am passing some values into it.Using a dynamic SQL i am converting multiple values into multiple records as rows into another variable (called @QUERY). My question is, how to insert the values from variable into a table (table variable or temp table or CTE).OR Is there any way to parse the multiple values into a table. like if we pass multiple values into a parameter. those should go into a table as rows.

Hi everyone,
I have a weird issue. I open my SSIS project up and I have to date package variables. (startdate and enddate)

Now when I open the project they are set
startdate = '2/1/2008' and enddate '3/1/2008'

I change the two dates and save the project.

When I run the project in debug the values aren't being picked up. its the original dates above.

I save the project with changed values and reopen the project and I get the old dates come back.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Variable Error In Package

Jun 12, 2007

I have a package with variable "A" defined at the package level, type "string".



I subsequently reference variable "A" in a script task, as a ReadWrite variable. In the script, I simply assign the value of another string variable to variable "A".



However, when I run the package, I *intermittently* receive the error below. Not every time though, sometimes it runs fine without the error. What's going on here?



Thanks



Error msg:



The type of the value being assigned to variable differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.



Code:



Public Sub Main()

Dim newestFile As String

.....................

.....................

Dts.Variables("A").Value = newestFile

Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success

Parent Package Variable Issue?

Feb 5, 2007

I have noticed an issue with parent package variables. I have a package with multiple parent package variables defined, call them X, Y, and Z. I also have a parent package that calls this other package. The parent package has variable definitions for X and Z. It seems that the value for X will be passed along, and Y will give a warning since there is no variable of that name in the parent. The issue is that Z will not be passed along. It seems like the parent package configuration process stops after it encounters one missing variable.

Is this a know issue? Is it by design?

Executing A SSIS Package With Variable Changes From ASP.NET

Mar 17, 2008

I am trying to execute a ssis package, where a user will be able to excute the package from an ASP page, the user will select a file, this will be the source file for the SSIS package, this will change when ever the package is executed, I was thinking of just using a sqlClient.sqlCommand and editing the command text and excuting it that way, or through a SP, would this be the best solution? Is there a better solution? and if not what would be the SQL command to execute the package, along with editing the variable?

Assign A Value To A Package Variable From An SQL Statement

Mar 30, 2008

Hi

I want to use a variable in a number of SQL statements as paramenter. But I am not sure how to assign the value I want to the variable. The value I want is the maximum week number from one of my tables. I know how to put this value into a new table (which is one field and One row), but I cannot see how to pass this value to my variable. Using the table in my SQL is not straight forward unfortunately, at least not for me.

Package Configuration With Environment Variable

Aug 9, 2007

Hi,

I have issues with the Connection Manager in the SSIS package when using package configs thru environment variable.


Here goes..

SSIS package1:

Connections used: devcon1, devcon2 - Dev Env and testcon1,testcon2 - Test Env. Now using all four. Ideally either devcons or testcons should reside at a time.

Environment variable:

Pckg_config = <location of config file which has testcon1 and testcon2>


I need to use only devcon1 and devcon2 in Dev env. In test i need to use only testcon1 and testcon2
Hence i set the values of devcons in devEnv.dtsconfig and testcons in testEnv.dtsconfig


Now i remove both testcons from ssis package. If i try to run the Test Env and my testcons which are marked in testenv.dtsconfig are not found as connections in ssis package then the ssis gives error wanting for those connections.


SSIS maintains the connections in the Connection Manager per package. Although internally it is a pool of connections.


Ideally i should be able to play around with the connection at run time. My package now works, if it is deployed with all the devcons and testcons together. However, ideally it should be either devcons or testcons. I am trying to be more explicable to reach to the masses here.


Am i doing something wrong? All your efforts in solving this puzzle will be greatly appreciated. Please participate.


Thanx,Tushar

Setting BufferTempStoragePath From Package Variable

Jan 8, 2008

I'm in the process of creating a series of packages to do the ETL for a datawarehouse. As such, I've got quite a few DataFlow tasks scattered through them.

The problem I'm coming across is where the disk that the temp files (created during the processing) are put on is short of space (when compared to some of the data sets I'm copying around and noting that it's the System disk, not the "Data Drive").

To get around this, I found number of article scattered around that suggested using the BufferTempStoragePath property of the DataFlow tasks to redirect the temp files to somewhere else. This works fine for the tasks that I hard-code the new directory.

Noting the number of these tasks that I want to redirect, and also that the Dev environment will be different to the Production environment (and I have no control over the drive letters, paths, etc, in Prod), it was suggested that a package variable be created, assigned to the property and then said variable could be exposed via the Package Configuration file.

That's great as far as it goes, but I just cannot, for some reason, make it work.

The xml in the config file is:

<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Variables[::BufferTempStoragePathValue].Properties[Value]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>D:Temp</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>

The property in the DataFlow task is then set to: @BufferTempStoragePathValue.


When the package is executed, it logs the error message "The buffer manager cannot create a temporary storage file on any path in the BufferTempStoragePath property. There is an incorrect file name or no permission."

My question for the group is two-fold: 1) what am I doing wrong in the setup of the property/variable, and 2) what are the security permissions that are required for the (new) folder.

It's got to be something obvious, I just can't see what!

Many thanks for your assistance.

Cheers,
Mike

Package Configuration + Environment Variable

Jul 17, 2006

We are using Package configuration with environment variables. The problem we are having that if we try to open project from other PC (PC 2) it gives the error:

Error 1 Error loading F0005.dtsx: Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Password" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state.". You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available. z:visual studio 2005projectssales data martextract to staging areaF0005.dtsx 1 1

We are using environment variable named DWConfig and have configured correct path in each PC. If we edit package configuration in PC 2 and go thru the same procedures without any amendments the errors is removed for that PC and if, again we OPEN that project in PC 1 it gives same error and if we go thru package configuration wizard again error is removed.

Can any one tell me is there any solution of that problem?


Note: Our project is saved on server (neither PC 1 nor PC 2)

Anas.

Environment Variable Package Configuration

Dec 17, 2007



Okay - this one is driving me batty.


I have a package that uses an environment variable package configuration of value X for a connection string. I close BIDS. I change the value of the environment variable to value Y. I open BIDS and the package, and the value of my connection string is Y. I save my package with the new configuration. if I look at the dtsx file, I see connection string with value Y. All as expected.


I move the package to my server (I've tried Import package from SSMS, using the deployment manifest, and save copy as). On the server, the environment variable is set to value Y. If I run the package or export it; however, the value of my connection string is X!


Does anyone have any suggestions of things to try or some reason that this is not working?


Thanks,
Jessica

Package Configuration Type - Environment Variable

Feb 19, 2008

Hello All -



Have you ever seen the error message below?



Description: The package path referenced an object that cannot be found: "Package.Variables[User::<variable_name>].Properties[Value]". This occurs when an attempt is made to resolve a package path to an object that cannot be found. End Warning Could not load package "<package_name>" because of error 0xC0010014.



Basically, I create a package variable under my User Namespace and this variable will tell what server the SSIS is running at. We first create a system variable locally and the SQL Server will have a variable with exactly the same name so that the server name will be evaluated through the package variable/package configurations when the SSIS is executing from a SQL Server job.



This way we do not hard code the server name... We always succeeded on doing that with DTS as well as SSIS packages but just now my package is running into this issue...



Since I did not change ANYTHING in the package, I am guessing this is not programming related and that something was changed in the server. However, the DBA was helpless over here and I have no clue of what this error means.



Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks, Gabriel.

Package Ignores Environment Variable For ConnectionString

Mar 19, 2008

We're attempting set the ConnectionString for our configuration database connection manager from an environment variable, but SSIS seems to ignore the environment variable value. Deployment process:


Create the Connection Manager

Create an Environment Variable type configuration with the Target Property: Package.Connections[acConfigDBManager].Properties[ConnectionString]

Build the package

Copy the package and the manifest from the project's inDeployment folder to a folder on the server

From the SSIS server's console, Import the package from the File System.

Run the package, after first inspecting the ConnectionString in the Connection Managers collection
In all cases, the ConnectionString variable for our configuration database is the value in the package at build time.

So far we've tried the following variations:


confirmed that the spelling and case of the environment variable is identical on the XP development computer and the Win2003 server.

restarted SQL Server and SSIS

rebooted the Win2003 server.

built the package with a blank ConnectionString value in the connection manager

re-imported the package, overwriting the old one

deleted the old package before reimporting

renamed the package and imported

run imports from SQL Management Studio from the server console

assign the connection string from an arbitrary system environment variable

assign the ServerName and use an expression to build ConnectionString
What now? Has anyone been able to set a Connection Manager property from an environment variable?

DateTime Package Variable.. Only Date No Time?

Sep 12, 2006

I have a package variable that is a datetime... how am I able to set the time of that variable? In visual studio on the variables screen if I click on value it brings up a calendar control - I can't seem to edit the time portion of the variable.

When I first click open the variables window it will say 9/1/2006 12:00:00 AM - but as soon as I click on the value box the 12:00:00 AM part will disappear and I can't edit it. I've tried on someone elses PC as well to make sure there isn't something wrong with my visual studio

Ideas?

Can't Set DateTime Package Variable With MS Access Date

Aug 29, 2007

Hello,
I have a package variable called LatestTableFileDate that is typed to DateTime. I have an Execute SQL Task that executes the following SQL statement against an MS Access 2000 database table through the OLEDB Jet provider;

SELECT MAX(FileDate) AS MaxFileDate
FROM CollectionData_Access

The statement parses fine. At the moment, the returned value is NULL. I have 'Result Set' set to 'Single Row'. The FileDate column in the Access table is 'Date/Time', and the Format is 'Short Date'.

In the result set properties, I attempt to set the result to the LatestTableFileDate user variable. When I run the task, the task fails, and the following appears on the 'Progress' tab;

[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "LatestTableFileDate": "Unsupported data type on result set binding 0.".

I searched the forum for this problem, and didn't find anything. Do I need to convert the date in MS Access to a string and set the package variable to a string type, or is there some other way to handle this?

Thank you for your help!

Problems With Mimimum Value For DateTime Package Variable Since SP1

May 5, 2006

Since I've installed SP1 the minimum value for a package variable has changed.

The former version used 12/30/1899 as the minimum value that can be entered.
Now the min value has changed to something about 1960.

During package execution I'd like to distinguish between two states:

1. The Variable has not yet been written to.
2. Any of my executable has written to it.

At the moment I check the value of it to be the minimum value (see above) or not.
So if I develop packages under SP1 I get into trouble.

Any way out of it?
Thanks

How To Get A Variable Value Return Back From A Child Package ?

Now I want the value of "x" to be passed back to P and store in P's variable (say Px). Anyone knows how to ?
