I have an odd problem with the parameters in a SQL task.
I created a DTS package with an SQL task that uses a parameter marker in the WHERE cause. The value comes from a Global Var. The package runs fine but when I try to access the parameter mapping page I get this:
Syntax Error or Access Violation Error
Anybody know what to do about this?
It's not very efficient to have to rebuild the task every time I need to add a parameter.
Thanks
I know you can pass parameters into a Direct Input and a Stored Proc in the Execute SQL Task Editor, but can you pass parameters to a File Connection? If so, then how would I do that?
Thank you,
Steve...
Hi,
we have a Package, that worked fine for a long time. Now, it always fails on all computers with SP2 instaled. The problem apears in execute sql task, which uses ole db connection manager and calls a procedure with some input parameters (from sql server).
Package sends a undesirable data (".") into the procedure from variable, which has NULL or Empty string value. Originaly, data type of the Variable was Object, I tried to use also string, but in both cases the procedure was called with parameter "."
Please, can anybody tell me what's wrong?
Thanks

I have an insert statement that i am trying to parameterize based on a variable. I have tried:
View 23 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a SQL task wich executes the following statement on a OLEDB connection (SQL 2005 DB):
TRUNCATE TABLE DimTime
GO
DECLARE @CurrentDate AS Datetime
DECLARE @EndDate AS Datetime
SET @CurrentDate = '10-20-2003';
SET @EndDate = '10-20-2005';

Hi
SQL server 2000 DTS Problem
I'm trying to pass the value of a global variable
as an input parameter in a 'execute sql task' DTS object.
However, SQL refuses to accept the global variable
assigned to the input parameter '?'. When you run the
DTS package the error message 'no value given for one or
more parameters' appears.
When you save / exit the DTS object by clicking OK, and then go
back into it, the 'input Global variables'
parameter field is empty again.
Searched msdn/knowledgebase to no avail - please help ! Thanks
Help much appreciated please !
Hello,
I am trying to use an Execute SQL Task to execute a stored procedure with parameters in SSIS but it keeps giving me errors, for example I type in 'exec someproc ?, ?, ?' in SQL Task it wouldnt parse correctly and when I set the bypassPrepare to 'true' the package runs but gives me error at the destination saying couldnt find stored procedure 'someProc'.
Does anybody know how I can solve this problem?
Also how do I pass the results of the queries in the Execute SQL Task into the Data Flow Task? The proc is supposed to retrieve data and transform them into XML format to be placed at a XML file. I am not sure if I should used an OLEDB source or an XML source since the data has been transformed into XML. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
I have an Execute SQL Task in my SSIS Package.
Now, this Execute SQL Task has the following query (Connection Type is OLE DB):
Code SnippetSELECT dbo.udf_CommonDateTime_Get (GetDate(), ?) As User_Datetime
I want 2 things from this Task:
1) It should take the 2nd argument to the UDF from a variable.
2) It should store the value returned by this SELECT statement into another variable.
So, I go ahead and modify the Parameter Mapping for the Task. Here I add the Input variable name, Data type and I give the Parameter Name as 0.
I also modify the Result Set for the Task. Here, I specify the Result Name as User_Datetime and give the appropriate Variable Name.
I am getting an error here and I believe it is due to the input parameter. The UDF is not getting the 2nd argument correctly.
My questions:
1) Has the Execute SQL Task been designed to handle UDFs like this. If not, then where am I going wrong?
2) What is the work-around for this? I need to pass a parameter (variable) to the UDF.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
B@ns
The error message is:
Code Snippet
Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "SELECT dbo.udf_Common_DateTime_Get (GetDate(), ?)
As User_Datetime" failed with the following error: "Syntax error, permission violation, or other nonspecific error". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

I receive the following error message when I try to use the Bulk Insert Task to load BCP data into a table:
Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 4. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.Bulk load data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 1 (rowno).".
Task failed: Bulk Insert Task
In SSMS I am able to issue the following command and the data loads into a TableName table with no error messages:
BULK INSERT TableName
FROM 'C:DataDbTableName.bcp'
WITH (DATAFILETYPE='widenative');
What configuration is required for the Bulk Insert Task in SSIS to make the data load? BTW - the TableName.bcp file is bulk copy file as bcp widenative data type. The properties of the Bulk Insert Task are the following:
DataFileType: DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_WideNative
RowTerminator: {CR}{LF}
Any help getting the bcp file to load would be appreciated. Let me know if you require any other information, thanks for all your help.

Hello,
I have several DTS packages that take data from SQL Server and exports them onto an Access DB located on the network. Basically, one Execute Process Task from within my DTS package takes the Access DB and zips it while another such task copies the zipped DB and pastes it onto another location on the network. All this works fine.
This export process happens once a month so each month I have to manually add a datestamp to the end of the Access DB file that’s being exported to distinguish it from prior month's export. For example, this month's export file would have AccessDB_20040727.mdb name and the next month it would be AccessDB_20040820.mdb (date is determined based on the date the output is exported on). AccessDB.mdb is the default name of the export DB and datestamp is added at the end of the file name depending on what date the export was run. As I said, I can do this manually each month and it works fine.
I want to, however, know if there is a way to automatically supply the datestamp to the Execute Process Task's Parameters' text box? Following is what I have right now in the Parameters box:
\ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All_20040727.zip \ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All.mdb
I want to take above text from the parameters box and replace it with something like:
\ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406FileName_RunDa te.zip \ghf1-ndc8-sqll$productionoutputlob200406LOB_CF_forDril ldown_All.mdb
Where FileName_RunDate is a variable/placeholder for the name of the output with the datestamp the output is exported on.
There are three different Execute Process Tasks that are happening within each of my DTS packages so it's a time consuming job to have to manually add a datestamp to each package every month when data is exported.
Does anyone know if what I am asking is doable? If I can use a variable in the parameters box of each Execute Process Task’s properties and supply current datestamp values to it prior to executing the package each month? If so then what are the ways? How would I do that?
Thanks much.

Hi,
I need to run an SQL command, in which one of the fields is based on the current time, represented as a string in a specific format.
I used a script task to create the string from the current time, and store it in a package variable named "newDate". Later, in the execute sql task, I have the following update statement: "update table_1 set field_1 = ?" (OLE DB connection is used)
and in the parameters mapping I set parameter 0 to the string package variable "newDate".
The problem is that on runtime, the sql executes with the default value of the variable - i.e. it doesn't take the new value.
I checked it and placed another script task after the first one, that simply tries to read the variable "newDate" and print it to screen, but even here the default value is used.
how can I use the new value of the variable?
thanks.
There is not a way to pass parameters to input of Web Service tasks. I heard this problem is fixed with SQL2K5 SP1 and even the online doc says that one can choose either "value" or "variable" when specifying input for web service tasks, but after I installed what-I-think-is SP1, there is still no way to do this.
If one can only specify values (hard-coded) as input to web service tasks, then this would be a very severe limitation. I hope I'm wrong, so could someone please give a pointer. Thanks

I have a DTS package of SQL server 2000 which has two "Execute SQL Task", which gets maximum ID (call it maxID1) from table1 in mysql and maximum ID (call it maxID2) from table 2 in sql server. Those 2 as global variables passes into a data flow which grabs all data from mysql's table1 with its ID > maxID2 and ID <= maxID1 and insert into SQL server table3. This package is working so far.
My question is how to achieve the same thing in SSIS? I created two "Execute SQL Task", which will get maxID1 and maxID2, and one "Data Flow Task". But how to pass those 2 parameters into that "Data Flow Task" without using "Script Task"?
Anyone could help? Thanks!
Hi,
I am trying to create a simple BI Application for SSIS. In Visual Studio 2005 I just get a Data Flow Task from the toolbar and add it to the project. When I double click it I get the following error:
The task with the name "Data Flow Task" and the creation name "DTS.Pipeline.1" is not registered for use on this computer.
Then when I try to delete it it gives this other error:
Cannot remove the specified item because it was not found in the specified Collection.
I am creating this application in an administrator account in this computer, so I doubt the problem is related to permissions. I am running SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 in WinXP Tablet PC Edition.
Any suggestions why this is happening and how to fix it?
Hi ,
I am trying to exectue a stored procedure through execute sql task which takes two input parameters table name and filegroup to create a table and it also returns a value.
i am using the oledb connection
but i am getting the following error
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "declare @rtn_value int exec spm_Utopia_FinanceUsage_Create_MonthlyTable ?,? select @rtn_value as rtn_value " failed with the following error: "Syntax error or access violation". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
i tried with ado.net connection by directly giving the parameter names.
it will create a table but the the table name is something different from what i specified
Please do help as soon as possible
Thanks

dtexec.exe allows us to pass values into a package using /SET and a property path. Why can't we do the same using the Execute Package Task?
And yes, I know about Parent Package Configurations, I use them alot. But I would still like the ability to pass values in.

Hi,
I'm trying to get a record count out of a databse using OLE DB Source and row count tasks but keep getting an error. I set up a variable as int32 and select the variable name in the row count task and when I go to the Input Columns tab to select a field to count, it gives me this error:

I don't even know what this means?

Hi all,
I met a problem when trying to pass values to a SQL statement through parameters. It's a data flow task. I used the OLE DB connection. My statement is like the statement below(the real statement is little complex):
Select * from myTable where mydate>? and mydate<?
I used the "set query parameter" dialogbox to bulid two parameters varStartTime and varEndTime, the values for the two parameters were set to "1/1/2005" and "12/30/2006" respectively. But when I click the "Parse query" button, I got errors
Parameter Information cannot be derived from SQL statements. Set parameter information before preparing command.
I have referred to the posts, but the problem still exists. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
Hi All,
I have One package that it contains one Execute SQL task in that i have placed a Stored procedure .
Now i want to pass values to Stored procedure parameters from a databse table by dynamically .For this i am trying to use " Script task "
How can i pass that table column values to that stores procedure thru using Script Task?
Regards,
Maruthi..
Good day everyone,
I have a question concerning the Execute SQL task.
Problem Statement:
I have a table containing the following sample data.
Catalog_ID, Product_ID, IsBlocked
56789, 1, 0
56789, 3, 1
23567, 1, 0
23567, 2, 1
The data types of the fields are:
Catalog_ID: bigint
Product_ID: bigint
IsBlocked: bit
I have two variables called "old_catalog_id" and "new_catalog_id" with the following values:
old_catalog_id: 56789
new_catalog_id: 11111
Now, I would like to select all the recods, whose Catalog_ID fields equals the value in the variable "old_catalog_id" and insert identical recods with the "new_catalog_id" value.
The result of that operation on my sample records is:
Catalog_ID, Product_ID, IsBlocked
56789, 1, 0
56789, 3, 1
23567, 1, 0
23567, 2, 1
11111, 1, 0
11111, 3, 1
blue: selected fields
green: inserted fields
My Solution:
In order to realize this solution, I have created the following tasks on the Control Flow.
1. Create an Execute SQL Task for the selection. (Name: Selection Task)
2. Create a For-Each-Loop for iterating on the result set. (Name: Loop on results Container)
3. Create an Execute SQL Task inside the For-Each-Loop container for inserting the new records. (Name: Insertion Task)
Configurations and Problems:
1. Selection Task:
General Tab:
Result Set: Full Result Set
SQL Statement:
select Product_ID, IsBlocked
from MyTable
where Catalog_ID = ?
Parameter Mapping Tab:
Variable Name -- Direction -- Data Type -- Parameter Name
User:: old_catalog_version -- Input -- Large_Integer -- 0
Result Set Tab:
Result Name -- Varibale Name
0 -- User::FullResultSet (which has the Data Type: Object)
When I execute this task, I get no records.
Thus, I have hard-coded the value of Catalog_ID in the Sql Statement parameter. Now, I get the correct 2 records in the result set.
Question 1: What am I doing wrong in the Parameter Mapping?
2. Loop on results Container:
Collection Tab:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO Enumerator
ADO object source variable: User::FullResultSet
Enumeration mode: Rows in the first table
Variable Mappings Tab:
Variable -- Index
User:: old_prod_id -- 0 (Data Type of "old_prod_id" is Int64)
User:: old_isBlocked -- 1 (Data Type of "old_isBlocked" is Boolean)
When I execute the package, it fails with the following error message:
Error: 0xC001F009 at SQL Tasks: The type of the value being assigned to variable "User:: prod_id" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.
Thus, I have changed the data type of the variable "old_prod_id" to Object. Now, the package runs successfully.
Question 2: Why isn't the package accepting "Int64" as the data type of my variable, although the corresponding DB field has the type "bigint"?
3. Insertion Task:
General Tab:
Result Set: None
SQL Statement:
insert into MyTable
(Catalog_ID, Product_ID, IsBlocked)
values (?, ?, ?)
Parameter Mapping Tab:
Variable Name -- Direction -- Data Type -- Parameter Name
User::new_catalog_version -- Input -- Large_Integer -- 0
User:: old_prod_id -- Input -- Large_Integer -- 1
User:: old_isBlocked -- Input -- Variant_Bool -- 2
When I execute this task, it fails with the following error message:
Error: 0x0 at Insertion Task: The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_Catalog2Context_CATALOGS". The conflict occurred in database "XS_EC_CCH_PEGXSAP2", table "eSearch4.CATALOGS", column 'ID'.
Well, the message implicitly states that the value of the variable "new_catalog_version" has violated the mentioned FOREIGN KEY constraint. But I have set a breakpoint and I saw that the value was set correctly. So, it seems that the Execute SQL Task is not able to read the value of the variable correctly.
Question 3: What am I doing wrong in the Parameter Mapping, which causes the task not being able to read the value of the variables correctly?
Thanks in advance for your help.

In many DTS packages I have used parameterised queries for incremental loads from Oracle database sources using the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle.
Now I want to migrate these packages to SSIS, but the OLE DB connection for Oracle does not support parameters.
I cannot use the "SQL command from variable" data access mode because of the 4000 character limitation on the length of string variables and expressions.
Am I missing an obvious workaround?
Got a powershell script to split a large XML file to split in smaller chunks. I have Execute ProcessTask in SSIS with:Â

I need to pass File Name as parameter to the PS script. I tried using the StandardInputVariable but it doesn't work.Â

Any clue ?

Hi Everyone,
I haven't been able to successfully use the ADO.NET connection type to use both input and output parameters in an execute sql task containing just tsql statements (no stored procedure calls). I have successfully used input parameters on their own but when i combine it with output parameters it fails on the simplest of tasks.
I would really find it beneficial if you could use the flexibility of an ADO.NET connection type as the parameter marker and parameter name can be referenced anywhere throughout the sql statement in no particular order. The addition of an output parameter would really make it great!!
Thanks
I'm trying to use an XML Task to do a simple XSLT operation, but it fails with this error message:
[XML Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "There are multiple root elements. Line 5, position 2.".
The source XML file validates fine and I've successfully used it as the XML Source in a data flow task to load some SQL Server tables. It has very few line breaks, so the first 5 lines are pretty long: almost 4000 characters, including 34 start-tags, 19 end-tags, and 2 empty element tags. Here's the very beginning of it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ESDU releaselevel="2006-02" createdate="26 May 2006"><package id="1" title="_standard" shorttitle="_standard" filename="pk_stan" supplementdate="01/05/2005" supplementlevel="1"><abstract><![CDATA[This package contains the standard ESDU Series.]]></abstract>
There is only 1 ESDU root element and only 1 package element.
Of course, the XSLT stylesheet is also an XML document in its own right. I specify it directly in the XML Task:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"/>
<xsl:template name="identity" match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="kw">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="ihs_cats_seq" select="position()"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Its 5th line is the first xsl:template element.
What is going on here? I do not see multiple root elements in either the XML document or the XSLT stylesheet.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm having an SSIS package which gives the following error when executed :
Error: 0xC002F210 at Create Linked Server, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "exec (?)" failed with the following error: "Syntax error or access violation". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.Task failed: Create Linked Server
The package has a single Execute SQL task with the properties listed below :

Connection : Connected to a Local Database (DB1)
SQLSourceType : Direct Input
SQL Statement : exec(?)
IsQueryStorePro : False

'AddLinkSql' is a global variable of package scope of type string with the value
Exec sp_AddLinkedServer 'Srv1','','SQLOLEDB.1',@DataSrc='localhost',@catalog ='DB1'
When I try to execute the Query task, it fails with the above error. Also, the above the sql statement cannot be parsed and gives error "The query failed to parse. Syntax or access violation"
I would like to add that the above package was migrated from DTS, where it runs without any error, eventhough
it gives the same parse error message.
I would appreciate if anybody can help me out of this issue by suggeting where the problem is.
Thanks in Advance.
