Hi, I upgraded several of my SQL 2000 database to SQL 2005 databases. I'm in the process of migrating over the DTS packages over to SSIS packages. I'm using the DTSMigrationWizard utilty to do this migration. When I started testing the SSIS packages I've discovered that not all the steps were being excuted. So I've noticed on several of the packages not everything migrated over. Such as connections to oracle and some of the task as well did not migrate over. Is there a way to migrate the entire DTS package to SSIS or do I have to re-create the entire package from scratch or is there a better way to get the SQL 2000 DTS packages over to SQL 2005 and have them run successfully?
One issue that we are facing while migrating our dts packages from development to test is that in all our DTS package tasks, every object used is prefixed with the database name. For eg. in a Data Transformation task the Destination object has the prefix dw_dev.dbo.dw_user. This is causing problems as our database name in development and test is different and our packages are not running.
I understand that one can change this property in the Set Connection Task by changing the Source/Destination Object property to the new databse name and running the task. However that would involve changing the source and destination names in all the data pump tasks in all packages.
Is there anyway to copy all the DTS packages and jobs in one step from one server to another. I usvally copy one DTS package at a time. As our packages count grown bigger, it became a painful process. If anyone knows a way to copy these packages and jobs in one then it would be very helpful.
I need to migrate dts packages on one server to structured storage files and then restore them all to another server in a different network
i got the restore method down fine, but all of the backup methods I used yield an incorrect DTS package. the only way i can get the package to look right is if I manually open and save it
i would like an automated way if possible
i tried tools from sqldts.com, wrote my own, etc... none of them work right
I have been tasked with migrating/recreating our DTS packages from our old 2000 server to our all ready existing and in production 2005 server.
I recently managed to create a simple SSIS package that connected to an Oracle database and dumped the data into the local MS SQL server. That is the extent of my knowledge of SSIS packages.
I have done a little bit of research and so far it sounds like it will be a pain in the butt to do the migration.
One thing I have read from a SAMS book is that migrating a DTS package that uses ActiveX will not work but then later on in the chapter it suggests that there is a possibility that migrating a DTS package that uses ActiveX could work. Which is it?
Can someone give some general advice on how I should go about doing this?

I have created a SSIS package to load data into a destination table.
Now I cheked that package into main server. Then I tried to change path for both source and destination connection managers. I'm not sure whether I can do that. But now what I want is load data into a data base which is in another server (Perforce).
Can I do this? Or Am I doing smthing wrong? If so, Which is the correct way?
I am working on a migration project of my database(lets name it DB1), from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. I have some DTS packages in my SQL 2000 database which also needs to be migrated to SSIS. These DTS packages currently interacts with other database(lets name it DB2) which is also in SQL 2000 and which does the data transmission. The real issue is that the other database(DB2) also has some DTS packages which also communicates with DB1 (the db to be upgraded) and so when i migrate my DB1 to SQL 2005, i will have to change my DB2 packages also (although the change will be minor). Now considering that in future I might also migrate my DB2 to SQL 2005 I wanted to know what will be the right approach to follow. One is to modify the DTS packages of DB2 to accmodate the change in connection and the other is to migrate the DTS packages of DB2 also to SSIS.
I have migrated several (7) DTS packages to SSIS in a development environment. In this environment these packages all work as designed. I am now in the process of placing the .dtsx files on the production server and scheduling jobs around them.
I am encountering problems in 3 of these 7 packages. I get the following error:
Message The job failed. The Job was invoked by User <domainuser>. The last step to run was step 1 (Create and Transfer Credentialling Data). This is not what I would call very informative. I have opened the dtsx files in question in BIDS on the production server and each has the following error reported:
Error loading <name>dtsx; Failed to decrypt protected XML node "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. I have looked at the package setting "Protection Level" and all seven packages have the same setting: EncryptSensisitveWithUserKey Each of the connections within the packages have been defined to utilize Windows Authentictation. And the jobs are set to run under the SQL Agent Account. What I find most puzzeling is that each of these packages are defined exactly the same and some work correctly and others do not. Thanks for taking the time help me with this issue.
After DTS Migration is "successful", I opened up dynamic properties step but I saw codes were all commented out inside the public class ScriptMain. Since I am not familiar with Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime, I'm not sure what methods I should use as there aren't much examples available online. How do I do the following in SISS way?
Below is a migration plan that I've compiled to migrate SQL 2000 DTS packages to SSIS 2005. Once these DTS packages have been migrated i will need to create a job and schedule them in SQL 2005.
I would appreciate and feedback or questions on this migration plan.
Migration DTS 2000 packages to SSIS 2005:
1. Will need to save the current production DTS package as structure storage file. We do not have a UDL file. We set the data connections within each DTS package. 2. Go to Sql 2005 - ManagementLegacyData Transformation Services - right-click and open previous saved structure storage file. 3. Modify the DTS data creditentials to reflect the SQL 2005 connection data. Modify any SQL 2000 MAPI settings to utilize SQL 2005 new database mail. Save the package on SQL 2005. 4. After the modified DTS package has been updated and saved on SQL 2005, save this file as a structure storage file. 5. go to BIDS. Create a new SSIS project. Right-click on SSIS packages and select Migrate DTS 2000 package. This will migrate over the DTS 2000 package with the updated SQL 2005 data creditentails. 6. click on the package properties - protectionlevel and change it to dontsavesensitive. 7. right-click and select package configurations..., select to store data creditentials in xml format. 8. right-click on execute DTS 2000 package task, select Edit... and click on Load DTS2000 package internally. This will embed this task into the new SSIS package. Test the package. Continue if successful. 9. Use SSIS deployment functionality to move the package over to SQL 2005 Integration Services. Right-click on package and select Run Package, if successful, create a job and schedule it to run on SQL 2005 Agent. 10. When creating the Job under SQL Agent, change the Owner: of the job to reflect the owner of the new SSIS package. Schedule the job.
I've just coming up to speed on SSIS 2005. Therefore, this is what i've been able to piece together up to this point and I'm looking for some industry advice/feedback on whether or not this is a good migration plan. I need to provide a migration plan to management by 2/18. Thanks
Hello all let me first start out by saying I suck at SQL. I can do quite a bit with ASP.NET but SQL Server is on area that has haunted me and I have finally decided to bite the bullet and figure this behamouth out.Well here is my first problem, which is the biggest reason I can't seem to understand SQL Server or dataases in general.To have a realtional database you set up tables with foriegn keys and primary keys referenceing the id's like product table has a product name and one of the columns is a user_id displaying the id number of the user in the user table. From what I can tell you are supposed to set up the user_id in the products table a foriegn key to the Primary Key in the user table. I may be totally wrong on this though.Now my biggest question is how do you retrive this information the proper way to get it ready to be displayed in a gridveiw or a datalist? I have been reading SQL Server 2005 for developers and reading online tutorials and it seems like they say you need to set up a relationship and because of the realtionship you don't need to do a join, but I never hear how to use the relationship at all.Please someone help I am so totally lost that i feel like i will never understand. I have spent the last week trying to figure this out and I guess I am just googleing this wrong completely or i am incompentent one of the two.Thank you.
I need to completly remove MSDE from my PC it was installed using Install Shield Express and when I try to uninstall, I get a Fatal error durring installation. There must be a way other than reformatting?
I installed sql2ksp3 from the CD I received in my ASP.net book. The installation went fine and then I went to the DOS prompt and did the setup SAPWD and it ran. I restarted my computer and opened ASP Matrix and went to the Data tab and proceed to connect to the server. It gave me an error message it couldn't connect. So I uninstalled MSDE and made sure the sql2ksp3 folder was gone. So I went ahead and installed the sql2ksp3 from the CD again and then went to DOS to do the setup. It ran through the setup until the very end, saying it couldn't setup the server. I have tried it several times and it always stops around 11 seconds. I have tried to install the download from microsoft instead the CD and that didn't work also. So at this point I am stuck. PLEASE HELP!
Hi, Can any 1 guide me how to completely remove SQL 2005 ?
Currrently i have a problem to install SQL 2005 where before this i already install SQL 2005 and uninstall it and delete some of the file inside the SQL folder, after that i reinstall the SQL 2005 and it get many error while installing.
Can some 1 guide me how to unintall it completely?
Hello, I have installed Enterprise edition. I used Client Network Utility to create a server. I went into Enterprise manager and tried to register this server I created and I got the following error: Specified SQL Server not found
Assume you have a query SELECT Column1 from Table WHERE Column2 = 'x' Say you have a non-clustered index on Column2. The engine is going to load the non-clustered index into memory to search for that record then do a lookup to the clustered index to grab column one also but quickly becuase it knows the RowID.. Right?
Is that safe to assume that every table that is queried would need to be in memory? ie the buffer pool? So if I have a table that has 2 million records, any operation on that data requires the table to be in memory?
I have 2 different databases and an import tool that reads from one and fills the other one and then whenever we run it, it should synch the two databases and its kind of a heavy task. I was wondering if i can replace it with replication between these databases. I defined publisher and subscriber, but i cannot find anywhere that i can say which field in source maps to which field in destination.
Is it possible at all to have a replication between 2 databases with totally different schemas? If so, please let me know how.
i have gone through the thread which had the same subject but still it didn't work out..
i have even removed SQL 2005 install bits using msicuu2.exe but still i can find SQL 2005 in my programs list in start menu....
Can anyone please let me know how i can remove SQL 2005 completely when it does not show up in Add/Remove programs and WindowsInstaller Cleanup Tool but i can still find it if i navigate to Start --> All programs --> Microsoft SQL Server 2005......
I have an application created with VS 2005 and VB 2005 using a Compact Edition Database. I created some tables that I no longer use or want. How can I permanently delete them from the database?
Hello Win XP Pro, SP3 ,.Net 1.1,2.0,3.5, ASP.Net 2.0.
I made the mistake of trying to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services as a requirement to install dashCommerce. That was a big mistake. It never installed and it screwed up my current install of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
I have been trying for two days now to get my SQL Server 2005 Express Edition back to normal. I can't run and test my programs in VS2005 that use SQL anymore and it's keeping me from getting my work done.
I tried uninstalling everything SQL using Add Remove Programs. Deleted all temp, SQL and unneeded files. Ran defrag. Restarted my computer. I did all that three times and still am unable to install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
On the existing components screen, i get the message "The following components that you chose to install are already installed on the machine. To view a report of available options and alternatives click on details."
It won't allow me to check any options and when i click next, it gives the error "None of the selected features can be installed or upgraded. Setup cannot proceed since no effective change is being made to the machine. To continue, click Back and then select features to install. To exit SQL Server Setup, click Cancel"
All i can do is cancel out of it.
Any help from anybody to figure out why i can't install SQL Express again would be gratefully appreciated.
This problem is keeping me from doing my work, it's frustrating. Is there a way to totally clean my machine of any SQL so i can get back to doing my job?
declare @t table ( segment int, subsegment int, primary key (segment,subsegment) ) insert @t select 1,33 union all select 1,22 union all select 2,33 union all select 2,22 union all select 3,33 union all select 3,22 union all select 3,44
What I want is to find all segments that are in some sense complete duplicates of other segments. a segment is made up of subsegments. a subsegment is not a segment - it's a completely different entity. this table is not hierarchical.
So in the sample data above, segments 1 and 2 are dupes because they share exactly the same subsegments: 22 and 33. Segment 3 is not a dupe because it has a third subsegment the other two don't have: 44.
when a duped segment is found, I need to know which other segment it duplicates. so an acceptable result set for the above sample data would be:
segment partner ------- ------- 1 2
this would also be fine:
segment partner ------- ------- 1 2 2 1
ps: i already posted this on dbforums - just broadening the audience a little.
I need help for completely removing sql server 2005 from my computer. I have tried unintalling it through Add/Remove programs,but when i try to reinstall it this message appears : "Some components of this edition of SQL Server are not supported on this operating system. For details, see 'Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2005' in Microsoft SQL Server Books Online." I think that there is something that is not completely removed from the first installation.
I have just migrated from XP Professional to Windows Vista Home Premium using Laplink€™s PCMover. PCMover gives no choice but moving everything to the new PC. I tried to uninstall everything related to SQL 2005, but whenever I try to install SQL 2005 Standard€™s database engine or analysis service, I get an error saying there is already an instance.
I tried the following command: "%ProgramFiles%Microsoft SQL Server90Setup BootstrapARPWrapper.exe /Remove
I also tried: start /wait msiexec /x {GUID} /l*v c:sql_uninstall.log
Is there anyway to completely uninstall everything of SQL 2005 in my situation? Thanks in advance!
We are migrating an DB2 database to sql server 2005. We have used the 1.2 jdbc driver. It consumes lots of memory when we have several resultssets opened on different statments. Then we tried JTDS (http://jtds.sourceforge.net/), it worked fine. It's supports concurrent staments. We would like to stick with microsofts driver. My question is: will we se this supported in microsofts driver (soon)!
After many days of searching i have eventually been able to set up a web service to call and execute my SSIS package. The SSIS package is set up completely with windows authentication,the web service is run from an application using the same credentials with all necessary access for the SSIS package. I can run the package from the SQL management studio and it works fine, however when i attempt to run it from the web service it appears to work once round the for each loop and then fails for every other time. The error i am getting is as follows:
Executing the query "Set ? = (select max(URC_ID) AS URC_ID FROM
VIEW_A1021_URC
WHERE SerialNumber = ?)
" 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.
This error doesn't happen on the first iteration, as the package does exactly what it is supposed to do.
Has anyone encounter anything like this before? any help on this matter would be great.
Hi,we found some strange behavior when operating with floats and round().The following simplified statement reproduces the problem.select 6.56 - round(convert(float, 6.56), 2)from sysusers where name = 'public';===========-8.88178419In "real world", the floats are not literals, but float fields in tables.I could figure, that 6.56 - 6.56 will result in something like 0.00001,but -8.88178419 is beyond my imagination.The same statement without round results in 0.Has anyone any clue on this?Regards,Peter
I cannot use, remove, or reinstall Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Although Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files appear in ControlPanel-ARP, when I attempt to remove Microsoft SQL Server 2005, the workstation component remains. If I try to download and reinstall Microsoft SQL Server Express from the Microsoft website, the download does not install completely as described below.
My current situation is much better than the previous incompatibility or configuration problems I had been experiencing between Microsoft Office Small Buisness Accounting 2006, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, Outlook Business Contact Manager, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (express edition installed in conjunction with Visual Basic 2005 express), and Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (installed in conjunction with Small Business Accounting 2006). The problems and error messages previously included: 1) A consistent bootup error (Net service configuration error...The specified service does not exist as an installed service); 2) The inability of Visual Basic to connect to an instance of SQL server (An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server...); 3) a SQL server configuration manager error: Cannot connect to WMI provider. You do not have permission or the server is unreachable. Note that you can only manage SQL Server 2005 servers with SQL server configuration manager. Invalid namespace [0x8004100e]; and 4) SQL server management studio express error: Cannot connect to <computername>SQLEXPRESS... An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1).
These problems have been partially solved by: 1) completely removing Small Business Accounting 2006, Outlook Business Contact Manager Update, and MSDE (which appear to be codependent); and 2) removing and reinstalling Visual Basic 2005. However SQL Server still cannot be completely removed or reinstalled and therefore Visual Basic cannot connect to SQL datafiles.
When I most recently tried to remove SQL server 2005 using ARP, the installer reported that only the workstation component remains (Version: 9.00.1399.06 Edition: Express Edition Patch level: 9.00.1399.06), but is not removed by the ARP process. When I most recently tried to install SQL server 2005, the Setup Support Files install correctly, the System Configuration Check passes, but setup fails for MSXML6, SQL Server Database Services, and WorkStation components Books Online (detail log SQLSetup0068 file). According to Add/Remove programs, the following applications are installed:
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition ENU Microsoft SQL Server Native Client Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English) Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Various MSXML versions
Any help in un/reinstalling or configuring Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for use with Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition would be dearly appreciated. Thanks.
There appears to be no way to prevent SQL 2005 from installing roughly 1.5GB of stuff on the C: drive - even if you click that advanced button and select a different drive for all the components.
I can't find an easy way around this, other than rebuild the C: drive on a bunch of systems. Anyone have any other ideas?
