Good Afternoon,
Does anybody know if the DTS Transfer Object Task transfers tables with IDENTITY INSERT enabled? I'm copying objects, along with their data to another database, but I need to retain the values in my IDENTITY columns. I will do some manual checking but this is fairly tedious and error prone.
I've checked the Books Online but I couldn't find anything that answers my question.
Regards,
Robin
Hi,
i am trying to transfer objects from SQL Server 2000 DB to SQL 2005 DB.

I am trying to move some tables from one database to another(both 2005) using SSIS. The tables are not dbo tables. I am using sql authentication for the source and windows authentication for the destination SMO conection.
I get the following error:
Error: 0xC002F325 at Transfer Tables from Beta To test, Transfer SQL Server Objects Task: Execution failed with the following error: "ERROR : errorCode=-1071636471 description=An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.

I have no problem transferring the dbo tables.
i have no clue about this...
Does anyone know whats going on here?
Hi all,
I have created a package to copy 10 tables from a database to another one. I have created a datasource with SQL Authentication mode. And it couldn't run until I changed the datasource connection to Windows Authentication mode. How could it be like that, it's just the authentication mode?
Is there anyone have the right answer for this situation?
Hi all,
I have a task as creating a SSIS package to transfer all the 10 tables from a database to another. And I have used the Transfer SQL Objects Task to select a table list and let the component do the transfering.
But my problem is that the source database have bad data and some null data, so I have to find a way to transfer only 'NOT BAD' data, and remove the bad data (lost relationship) and change NULL to "N/A".
And I can't find a way to do this. Is there anyone have experiences with this problem?
Can anyone help me?
I will very appreciate you help?
Hi
I would like to be able to feed the List of tables to the Transfer SQL Server Object Task dynamically.
I have got a foreachloop container which it feeds the table names into a variable @table_name (string).
Transfer SQL Server Object Task is with in foreachloop container
I did add an expression into the property of Transfer SQL Server Object Task and assign the tablelist property to @table_name
I would be grateful if you can give me any hint.
Thanks

I'm using a Business Intelligence project to copy stored procedures and tables from one database to another across servers. I'm having trouble copying tables or stored procedures using the Management.SMO.Transfer class.
I tried copying stored procedure with the property transfer.CopyAllStoredProcedures = true. This didn't work. As a workaround, I used the StringCollection property and executed every string as sql.
Now I'm having trouble copying tables. I don't want to copy all the tables in the database. How do I go about selecting what tables to copy. I tried using ObjectList property and provided the names of the tables in an ArrayList. I get the error
"Transfer cannot process System.String. You need to pass an instance class object."
How can I pass an "instance class object" for something that's in the database? The ScriptTransfer method fails so I can't even see the script that is being generated. There is virtually no documentation for this class.
Any help will be appreciated.
Transfer transfer = new Transfer();
transfer.Database = sourceDB;
transfer.DestinationDatabase = DestinationDatabase;
transfer.DestinationServer = DestinationServer;
transfer.DropDestinationObjectsFirst = false;
transfer.CopyData = true;
transfer.CopySchema = true;
transfer.CopyAllObjects = false;
transfer.CopyAllTables = false;
transfer.CopyAllStoredProcedures = false;
transfer.Options.WithDependencies = false;
GetTablesToBeCopied();
transfer.ObjectList = tablesList;
transfer.Options.FileName = "C:\TransferScriptTables.sql";
StringCollection coll = transfer.ScriptTransfer();
I wanted to create a package to copy the objects from one database to another and replace those object if they already exist. Therefore, before the package executes you do not know whether all the objects exist on the target server or only some of them.
Using the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task' I have found that I cannot get this to execute cleanly by itself. If I set the 'DropObjectsFirst' to false then an error is thrown if the object exists and if I set it to true then an error is thrown if it does not exist.
In order to get round this I have had to create an 'Execute SQL Task' to list all the objects and then go through them dropping them on the target server in a for each loop before executing the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task' with 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task' set to false.
However, is there a better way of achieving this or am I missing something in the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task'?
i got some bulk insert tasks in SSIS inserting into some tables with identity set ON....
in 1 column. Can the bulk insert task go smoothly?
PS: i cannot find anywhere in the bulk insert task that can set the ignore identity columns...........
now my steps are prepare database -> create database -> bulk insert into tables
working on my previous problem, Jamie.
Hello,
I'm just learning SSIS and I've hit my first bump. I am doing a bulk import from a tab delimited text file to an empty sql table that has a Idendity column defined. How do I tell the bulk insert task to skip that column when inserting from the text file. If I remove the identity column it imports the data fine, but I want to create the indentity column in the table too.
Thanks.

When I try and parse a simple execute of a stored procedure in the Execute SQL Task Editor, I get the error:
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
Now, I ONLY get this error on my laptop, so I'm assuming it might be an installation error. I've tried to do the exact same thing in other environments, and received no error. Here's what I'm doing:
1. I create a simple stored procedure on a SQL 2005 database. Here's what it does:
create proc usp_testsp
as
begin
select 'whatever' ;
end
2. I create a new SSIS package in BIS.
3. I create an ADO.NET connection to the above SQL 2005 database
4. I pull over an Execute SQL Task item from the toolbox to the Control Flow tab.
5. I choose the ADO.NET connectiontype, the connection I created in #2, SQLSourceType of Direct input, SQLStatement is: exec usp_testsp, IsQueryStoredProcedure set to True. And I try ResultSet as both Single row and None
When I try to Parse the Query, I get the above error. If I still try to run the task in the debugger, here's what I get with the ResultSet set to None:
Error: 0xC002F210 at Execute SQL Task, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "exec usp_testsp" failed with the following error: "Could not find stored procedure 'exec usp_testsp'.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
And just so you know, I can execute the sp with no problems. And just to check, I granted execute to public on the sp.
And here's what I get with ResultSet set to Single row:
Error: 0xC00291E2 at Execute SQL Task, Execute SQL Task: There is an invalid number of result bindings returned for the ResultSetType: "ResultSetType_SingleRow".
I only get this on my laptop. I have SQL Server 2005 SP2 Developer Edition on Windows XP Professional, SP2.

Hi all,
Does anyone see the error below before?
I am using SSIS Execute SQL Task (ADO.NET) to update a table using a stored procedure.
It works like this many times for me and all of a sudden, not sure what is changing in the environment, I kept getting this WARNING when I click on PARSE QUERY
€œObject Reference Not Set to An Instance of an Object€? when I click on PARSE QUERY.
This is going against SQL SERVER 2005 SP2 x64 Enterprise.
Note that this task executes fine and the stored procedure updates data.
The stored procedure does the following.
There are other stored procedures of different kinds and they all worked.
But all of them give this error when I click on PARSE QUERY.
Code Snippet
DECLARE @TodayDate datetime
SET @TodayDate = GETDATE()
Exec dbo.updDimBatch
@BatchKey = @BatchKey,
@ParentBatchKey = @ParentBatchKey,
@BatchName = 'Load Customer Increment',
@BatchStartDate = NULL,
@BatchEndDate = @TodayDate,
@StatusKey = NULL,
@RowsInserted = @Count_Insert,
@RowsUpdated = @Count_Update,
@RowsException = NULL,
@RowsError = NULL,
@UpdatedDate = @TodayDate,
@BatchDescription = NULL
OLEDB Sample also give me syntax error
exec dbo.updDimBatch ?,?,'Load Activity Increment','6/27/2007','6/27/2007',1,?,?,0,0,'6/27/2007',''
I tried to change to OLEDB and call the stored procedure like this but got syntax error?
Not sure what is the error here.
I am using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
Any option anyone knows will help.
Thanks.
In short, does the €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? support distributed transactions?
In trying to use a €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? in a container using a transaction on the container. The task is set to support the transaction. It is setup to copy table data from several tables from a non-domain server (sql server 2000) to a domain-based server (sql server 2005). I get an error stating, €œThis task can not participate in a transaction€?.
I am wondering if it means exactly what it says €“ this task in SSIS can€™t participate at all. Or does it mean that it won€™t in this scenario for some reason. I attempted a simple copy of data from mssql 2005 to mssql 2005 (same server) and the task still failed). MSDTC appears to be running properly on my machine and such (I can do a simple distributed transaction across linked server to the 2000 server in Query Analyzer (QA)). Also, MSDTC appears to be working on both servers with distributed transaction query tests in QA.
Here€™s the error info€¦
SSIS package "Development BusinessContacts and Products Migration.dtsx" starting.
Information: 0x4001100A at Copy BusinessContacts Data: Starting distributed transaction for this container.
Error: 0xC002F319 at Copy BusinessContacts database table data 1, Transfer SQL Server Objects Task: This task can not participate in a transaction.

I hit this error when I run the FTP task. I set IsRemotePathVariable = TRUE and RemoteVariable = User::FTPSourcePath where the variable is set with //DMFTP//PE1.JPG in the script task prior to FTP task.
IsLocalPathVariable also set to TRUE and LocalVariable = User::FTPTempPath where the variable is set to c:BiztalkFTPTemp
The FTP Operation is set to Receive Files.
I have tested the task with IsReportPathVariable to False and it works fine.
Can anyone help me and provide some advise on this? Thank you.
If I’m using the DTS Transfer SQL Object to move all objects and data from one server to another server and I make a schema change to source server, why is the dts package failing the next time I run it? Do I have to do some sort of refresh?
Any help!

I'm having trouble with what must be a common task as people migrate to 7.0. From the info I've read (MSDN, Books Online, etc) you cannot use the 7.0 Transfer GUI to access SQL Server 6.0, so I used a SQL 6.5 box to bring the old 6.0 DB half way.( all objects transfer well ).
However, I lose many types of objects whenever I attempt the 6.5 to 7.0 move.(views, contraints, rules, identity columns and seeds, etc.).
Does 7.0 require an ole connection to get these objects ? I believe it only gets an ODBC connection. Is there a required upgrade to the 6.5 box before the transfer? I have not found any articles mentioning this.
ps This is a 6.0->6.5->7.0 transfer, not using the upgrade wizard.
I have a client that is trying to use object transfer to move about a 1.4 GB db from one database to another. This transfer has been tried with both databases on the same server, and with the databases on different servers.
The transfer is taking over 4 hours..
The machines are single and dual processors respectively (pentium Pro 200)
with 1 GB of ram..
How long should it take? I would guess under an hour but I am not having any luck..
Thanks
Hi
All,
I am using Databaseobject transfer wizard to transfer objects and data
between two sql server 6.5 servers on schedule basis.unfortunately i specified non existing log directory for transfering these objects.Is there a way to change this this directory in 6.5 or to modify existing object transfer package..
I created several object transfers packages it will take lot of time for deleting and recreate them..
Thanks For your Help,
Kris
SQL 7.0 seems to be missing Database/Object Transfer tool, which allows to transfer single objects or whole database from one to another.
Also I couldn't find Backup/Restore one single object option eigther.
Could anyone can comment this, pls?

When I am trying to transfer a database from one server to another everything comes over fine except the Stored Procedures and views. What am I doing wrong?
I'v tried just transfering the SP and views and I am still having the problem.

While I have learned a lot from this thread I am still basically confused about the issues involved.
.I wanted to INSERT a record in a parent table, get the Identity back and use it in a child table. Seems simple.
To my knowledge, mine would be the only process running that would update these tables. I was told that there is no guarantee, because the OLEDB provider could write the second destination row before the first, that the proper parent-child relationship would be generated as expected. It was recommended that I create my own variable in memory to hold the Identity value and use that in my SSIS package.
1. A simple example SSIS .dts example illustrating the approach of using a variable for identity would be helpful.
2. Suppose I actually had two processes updating these tables, running at the same time. Then it seems the "variable" method will also have its problems. Is there a final solution other than locking the tables involved prior to updating them or doing something crazy like using a GUID for the primary key!
3. We have done the type of parent-child inserts I originally described from t-sql for years without any apparent problems. (Maybe we were just lucky.) Is the entire issue simply a t-sql one or does SSIS add a layer of complexity beyond t-sql that needs to be addressed?
TIA,

In SQL 6.5, you could Transfer (through a menu item in Enterprise Mgr) all or parts of a database to another server. It was the perfect 'copy' mechanism. What happened to it?
Thanks,

My applications group wants to do a table transfer from one server to another as a means of refreshing the information on the target on a scheduled basis. That means that reports could be running against the target table during the transfer. This has introduced erroneous reports because the object transfer initially truncates the table, then transfers the data. If reports are running during the transfer, they might retrieve no data or only part of a table. I wrote a procedure to make a copy of the table to be transferred, then transfer that new table to the target machine, then drop the target table, then rename the transferred table. Now, I have the slightly smaller problem of doing a DROP TABLE when users are accessing the table. I can't set the database to 'dbo use only' because there are other tables in the database that must be available. Is this really a replication application?

Trying to tranfer tables along with data using transfer sql server objects tasks and it is giving me an error <object> does not exists at source
for me It only works if table schema is owned by 'dbo ( even though Copy schema property is set to true)
Any workaround? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I'm new to Integration Services and I have a problem when I try to make a simple transfer of tables and views between 2 DB.
The idea is to copy tables and views from DB1 to DB2.
If the object exists in the target DB, it must be dropped, then created and the data must be copied.
The problem occurs when a new object is created in the source DB and thus does not exist in the target DB. This throws an error because the system cannot drop an object wich does not exist.
What is the workaround ?
The idea is to execute this package every hour to have a cached DB. In this case, replication is not a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Patrice.
I want to insert a new record into a table with an Identity field and return the new Identify field value back to the data stream (for later insertion as a foreign key in another table).
What is the most direct way to do this in SSIS?
TIA,
barkingdog
P.S. Or should I pass the identity value back in a variable and not make it part of the data stream?
