Our shop's DTS packages usually use ActiveX scripts to dynamically name vendor text file inputs by date (YYYYMMDD), which we load Monday through Friday to our databases. For our 2005 server I am trying to dynamically name a 'flat file source' filename in SSIS as described in the article at the url http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1084.
I am writing the expression (DT_STR, 4,1252) YEAR(DATEADD( "dd",0, getdate() ) to create a variable named FileName to capture today's 4 character year. If I could get a good preview of this value I would concatenate the month and day strings to it and use the resultant variable as part of the fully qualifeid name.
For the variable I've marked the 'evaluateasexpression' true and put the value type as str. But when I preview this expression I get the error message, 'expression has the result type of DT_STR which can not be converted to a supported type.'
What supported type? Does anyone see what the problem is?
Anyone know the origin of sql 2005's datatype naming convention or even why SSIS has defined its own special data types? (Before SSIS I had never seem types like DT_UI1 except in programming languages.)
Okay, this is probably my own stupidity but here goes. I am trying to make a very rudimentary package. I've got a data flow that has a flat file source. This source has fields delimited by the | symbol. I give the fields in the flat file source names. The first field is always exactly 1 character. When I use the advanced editor to look at the fields' properties, I see the first field, called ProductLine, is considered to be of SSIS internal data type DT_STR with a length of 50. I change the 50 to 1 because that is as long as that field is.
No matter what I do, when I close the advanced editor and then open it again, the field length for ProductLine is again set to 50. The field is 1 long, not 50 long. How can I make the setting of 1 be retained? Nothing I do changes it. What is the point of allowing the length to be editable if the edit is not retained?
I have a OLE DB Source going to a flat file destination. My source is a sql variable with "select * from tablename" which have varchar datatypes. Yet I'm getting trailing spaces at the end of some of my columns (for instance, my address column).
I've checked the data by doing a "select Max(Len(address)) from tablename" and the max is only like 34 chars, yet each of them have 100 chars total.
Taking a look at my flat file connection, the outputColumnWidth is 100, and datatype is string [DT_STR]. Am I crazy? What's the problem here? Is the DT_STR datatype the equivalent of char, and not varchar?
Can anyone tell me how to convert a string variable to boolean Ihave a variable named VarLoc which is string datatype In expression I want to give condition like VarLoc == "1234"?False:True its giving error because of converting string datatype to boolean. Please help. Thank You
I have an File System Task that copies a file from one directory ot another. When I hard code the target directory (c:dirfile.txt) it works fine. When I change it to a virtual directory (\serverdirfile.txt) I get a security error:
[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path '\gracehbtest oS2TMM_Live_Title_000002.xml' is denied.".
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:
(dt_dbtimestamp)(colum_name,1, 23) when I include the period and three digits for milliseconds the package fails if I leave it out it is successfull. I need to include milliseconds for my datawarehouse project. I tried many different ways and always with failure 01/23/2007 12:23:15.234 is the date(example) derived: (dt_dbtimestamp)(column_name,1,23) fails 01/23/2007 12:23:15.234 is the date(example) derived: (dt_dbtimestamp)(column_name,1,19) succeeds
The Lookup Transformation fails to match this datatype when full caching is enabled. When partial caching is activated (Edit > Advanced, Enable Memory Restrictions > Enable Caching) the lookup works.
Hi all I am trying to convert the string "(null)" in the [PASSWORD] column of my table to an actual NULL value. I have tried to use two different forms of a conditional operator to achieve this end. However I am getting the below errors both can be summed up with the following statement.
DT_STR operand cannot be used with the conditional operation. The expression directly below however is using a type DT_I4 in the conditional clause as this is what FINDSTRING returns. Hence the equivalencey test to the literal integer 0. So I must say I am somewhat confused by this. Does anyone know why neither of the below statements are working?
Also is there an easy way to accomplish what I am trying to do - convert the string "(null)" in the [PASSWORD] column of my table to an actual NULL value?
Error at Administrator Data Flow Task [Derived Column [1985]]: For operands of the conditional operator, the data type DT_STR is supported only for input columns and cast operations. The expression "FINDSTRING(PASSWORD,"(null)",1) == 0 ? PASSWORD : NULL(DT_STR,255,1252)" has a DT_STR operand that is not an input column or the result of a cast, and cannot be used with the conditional operation. To perform this operation, the operand needs to be explicitly cast with a cast operator.

My apologies...I wasn't for sure where to post an error like this...
Over the last 2 months I have gotten this SQL Server error (twice). All existing processes will continue to work, however no new processes can be created and users cannot connect to the server. This is the exact text of the message in the SQL Server error log.

Hi, I have developed a website in asp.net 2. I have tester it and it is working fine on my computer but when I have uploaded it to my server I'm getting an error message when the user signup. The error occurs when I'm setting the user role to 'members'.
Error line > Roles.AddUserToRole(user.UserName, "members")
The strage thig is that it is working on my computer but not on the server. My home computer and the server are running the same software versions and the website database is the same as well.
To double check that my code is not generating the error I have lonched 'SQL Query Analizer' and executed the folowing code on my database: NOTE: In my database I have create the user “teeluk12� and a role “members�

Hi,I am trying to write some C# ASP.NET 2.0 code. I have created a web form to send data to my sql server 2005 database. When I compile the application and insert data then click on the submit button I get this error

I am extracting data out of Lotus Notes into an Oracle DB using EM. I keep getting an error "[Lotus][ODBC Lotus Notes] Data value is not a valid date, time or timestamp" I went ahead and dropped the destination table, and changed all of the "date" columns to varchar's, redefined the transformation, and executed package again, but still get the error.

I am running across this error message: Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
Has anyone seen this before? Can you perform a fetch or do a loop? I am kind of new at sql and not really sure how either of these work or how to start to code something like that.
