I have a weird situation. I have migrated some DTS packages from a sql 7.0 server to SQL2005. One of them works as a DTS package but fails under the job sections with an error saying could not connect to the database server. I have no option but to rewrite the whole package in SSIS(which I hate).
Any ideas.

Hi,I'm looking for a way to log exactly which sql queries are executed on a specific asp.net page request. Actually I'm not looking for anything advanced here, just a log which writes all the queries to a text-file would be good enough for me. Does anyone know of a tool for visual studio that could help me with this or is there a way to build a logger like this by hooking into ADO.NET in some way? This would help me out a whole lot now as I with this log could see that my cache logic really is working as it should. thanks!

I have a file-deployed package which I need to call N times at once using DTEXEC. When I attempt to execute N instances of the package, the second instance doesn't execute. I can execute different packages at the same time, but never the same package more than once. Does anyone know how to get this scenario working? Just to clarify a bit more - I can call the package as many times as I like as long as I wait until the previous run of DTEXEC is finished. Please help!
Thanks,

How can I prevent a package, or a section of a package, from being run more than once simultaneously? The package makes use of a staging database table, and if two copies of this package are run at the same time, there will be a race condition and possible corruption of the data in the database table. I have also noticed that the SSIS logging gets messed up and starts overwriting itself if I have more than one of these packages run at the same time.
What I am thinking of should work the same way as a serializable transaction lock on a normal query, where one query has to wait if another query has a lock on the table. I don't want the package to throw an error, I want it to wait until the other one is done.
I have been trying to use transactions in a test SSIS package, but they are not quite doing what I want them to do. I put various SSIS steps in a sequence container and require a serializable transaction. I have also tried putting the transaction at the package level, but that is not preventing simultaneous package runs.
Is there a built-in way to do this that is easy to implement? Otherwise, what I could do is insert a flag into the database indicating that a package is running, then make sure to reset the flag on any error or on completion. It seems like this alternate method could be error-prone though.
I am using SP2.
I'm looking for a facility similar to NT audit facility except for SQL Server 6.5.
Is there a tool or facility that will track when users log in (using SQL Server security), and either which stored procedures they execute or which tables they select?
I'm looking for feedback on a query I've devised to return a numeric value if the 3 most recent executions of a job have failed. The purpose of the query is to server as a custom counter alert for Idera SQL DM, and by definition an SQL Script alert must return a numeric value.
My environment is SQL Server 2008. Note that the job name is hard coded.
;WITH CTE_Restore_JobHistory AS
(SELECT h.[job_id]
,j.[name] as JobName
,h.[message]
,h.[run_status]
[Code] .....
basically, is it inefficient to open and close a data connection everytime data needs to be retrieved or is there a way for a user to use the same conenction over multiple pages orfor multiple users to share one global data connection I just wanted to know this before I built a site where data could be constantly being pulled or put into the database.It would be easier to just keep opening and closing the connection since it just means pasting in the small chunk of code I use to do that where I need it. I hear speak of connections sometimes not closing etc and wonder if that is an issue then if you are opening and closing too many of them. I am using SqlConnection SqlCommand and SqlDatareader , my code works, just wondering if my approach lacked scalability before I find out too late and have to rewrite everything . Jim
View 11 Replies View RelatedAfter fine-tuning my package logging, I built a query against SYSDTSLOG9 that uses the combination of the OnPreExecute events and any subsequent event for each task to build a nice view of a package in progress, including the duration of each event. (Running tasks would have a row with a NULL EndTime.)
When running the package within the Designer, everything works as expected. Events are logged at the task level and everything bubbles-up to the package level.
However, when I run the package from SQL Agent (using the SSIS job step), none of my OnPreExecute or sub-component events are written. That is, I only get package-level OnInformation, OnPostExecute and OnError events.
This means when the job/package is executing, I can't directly see which steps are currently in progress nor can I get a duration for each step once it's completed. This will be very disconcerting for my teammates who will have to help support this at some point.
Any idea how or why there would be a change in behavior between these two execution methods?
Thanks in advance for any help. Until then, banging my head against the wall...

I've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
Anybody got any idea on how to go about this?
We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
Hi all
Our data management system currently runs DTS packages using DTSPKG.dll.
I am currently looking at the possibliity of replacing the DTS packages and SQL 2000 with DTSX packages using SSIS in SQL 2005.
Do I need a new dll? or will the current dtspkg.dll handle the new DTSX packages?
Many thanks in advance!
Can you use multiple tables in a DTS job?
I copy a large data table from one database to another every night, but I only want to copy the data since the last time the DTS job ran. I am going to create new job that writes the date of the update to a date table.
I then want the DTS job to compare the invoice date from the datawarehouse table to the last date in the Date table, and only write the data with a newer date.
I know the script if the values were in the same table - but how do I use two different tables?
Is there a query or sp I can run to get me all package names on a server?

I have created a dts package on a server using the Data transformation services local package interface. I need to move this package to another server running SQL 7 but I cannot figure out how to move this package. I tried the Import/Export wizard but no luck with (license errors). any ideas from anyone? Thanks

What is DTS guid?
I am actually told to move the DTS package from PreProd environment(Server A) to Production (Server B). Once the DTS packages are migrated then I have to email the DTS guid. I am not sure what I should write in the email. LOL
Urgent help is required. Thanks

Hi all,I am creating SSIS packages which has flat files as data source and destination is SQLServer2005.I have successfully created packages for around 100 files. In future if the server is changed or/and the same flat file is moved to another location i cannot execute this created packages. I have to redo my work or i have to edit my packages which is a tedious job.Totally i am having around 750 files and each should have corresponding packages. Is there any better way to handle this changes.
Ummm.... else i put it in another way. Is it possible to create a Front end application in which the user gives the Server name,user name,password and the physical location of the flat files and when submitting this, SSIS package has to be created for the flat file which the user has given.
I browsed the net and found a link where they have given a way to create SSIS package using a program. Can anyone explain in detail about this.http://lakshmik.blogspot.com/2005/05/how-to-programmatically-create-ssis.html

We have a development environment where there are 4 development servers and a single production server.
some of our processes rely of some complex DTS packages.
what is the perferred method to create copies of these DTS packages so that they can be put onto all the development systems ?
Hi, I'm building a portal for supervisors can view their agents errors. We have a team that have been using Access to import data and QC it. I want to get these records into SQL but at the same time, the agents need to import their own work. I've create a DTS package that will import the data into the SQL table from a folder the agents have access to. I tried to create the strored proc to be run from the ASP page however it's not working and I'm having a hard time figuring out why. Here is the procCREATE PROCEDURE DTS

i have an application that runs on sql server, that is all working fine on the development environment, and nearly ready for deployment in production.
a large part of this application is based on complex dts packages.
is there a straightforward way to migrate all of these packages AND change all the connections to point to the live box rather than the development box, without painstakingly changing all the connection objects (in around 100 packages!!)?
Does anyone know how DTS packages are backed up. Does peforming a DB backup also backup the DTS packages ? Can they be scripted ?

I am currently running SQL7 sp3 and will be moving the database to SQL2k. I have restored the database without any problems, but have not moved the dts packages. What would be the best solution: script the packages, save the packages to the 2k db, or just build from scratch? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! -J-

I am obviously new to creating DTS packages, and I am trying to create a new package. I looked in BOL for DTS samples and was able to install them from the CD. Now I have several DTS files on my hard drive. How can I open them in SQL Designer, or get them to show up in Enterprsie Manager? Any help would be appreciated. I really need help with DTS Designer basics, but cannot find anything.

Many times here I have read about scripting DTS packages to copy them to another server. How is this done? Under "All tasks/Generate SQL Scripts" there is no option for DTS. Sould I be looking elsewhere??
