I have problem using Data mining query task: when I want to set connection to Analysis services DB I don't see connections created in connection manager (they are not listed in the dropdown). (I can click on "New" and create new one but I already have one created in connection manager.)
Also, I want to make connections created in the connection manager flexible, easy to change after transfering package(s) to another server. How to do that?
Hi, I'm new to this forum, so please bare with me.
I've created a mining model, i've tweaked it etc and i'm now happy with the results its producing. I'm now looking to automate the processing and exporting of the results of the model i've done this simply by creating an SSIS package with two tasks, one task being to process the model the other task is a Data Mining Query task.
This package works fine in visual studio and when i deploy it to the server.
The problem i'm having is when i then try to execute the package from a job, after a bit of investigating i have tracked it down to the Encryption of "sensitive" properties. By default the encryption is based on UserKey which is why the package works for me when i execute it from VS or even the server, but when the job trys to execute the package running under the sql agent account it fails.
Looking at the security options i have for packages, i can either DontSaveSensitive, EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey or EncryptSensitiveWithPassword plus a few others.
DontSaveSenstive is clearly not an option as this just creates an unusable package.
EncrptSensitiveWithUserKey doesn't seem to be an option as the job runs under the SQL Agent account (also i'm thinking that the UserKey that the encryption is based on also incorporates other factors related to my profile that i can't impersonate? i might be wrong though)
EncryptSensitveWithPassword seems to be an option except that i can't get this to work either, there doesn't seem to be anyware in the job step to give it the password information.
Its frustrating me now because i've fallen at the very last hurdle, if anyone else has experienced this problem and knows how to resolve it that would great.
Hello: I would like to send data feeds to Sales Reps listing customers with their likelihood of purchasing a product from a certain Category. The data will basically contain Customer Name, Category, Likelihood Score (or Probability Score). When sorted in Descending order of Probabililty a Sales Rep can easily see the customers who are most likely to purchase at the top of the list and can call them.
I figured I would explore the use of SSAS data mining for this, and integrate it within an SSIS data flow (needed to send the data out to the sales reps).
I have not worked on Data Mining and so am clueless as to where to begin. I have been reading a book on it but most of the examples this far show me how the results can be viewed within AS, which is not what I am looking for.
Ideally I would like to run an algorithm against all our product categories for 2007 and store the results to a table. Then use that table as a lookup to get the probability score for specific categories that we are targeting in 2008.
I appreciate any advice for the experienced SSAS folks on this forum.
I am wondering where can I store my mining results in data mining engine? For example, I got mining results like accuracy chart, decision trees, and other formats of results based on different mining algorithms I used for my data mining, so where can I actually store the results for reporting service use later? Is it possible to do that in SQL Server 2005?
Thanks a lot for any help and guidance in advance.
I just installed the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 data mining add-ins and tried to configure it without succes. I wanted to connect to my server database so I entered the servers name. I was never asked for my username and password, Windows authentication was assumed and I was told I could not access the server. I tested it in Management Studio and was able to connect. I then tried localhost and was told I did not have adminstrative priveledges on localhost.
I would like to know if there is any way to migrate third-party data mining packages with SQL Server 2005 data mining algorithms together then we can have a comparison among all of them to get the best results for training models.
Hoping someone will have a solution for this error
Errors in the metadata manager. The data type of the '~CaseDetail ~MG-Fact Voic~6' measure must be the same as its source data type. This is because the aggregate function is not set to count or distinct count.
Is the problem due to the data type of the column used in the mining structure is Long, and the underlying field in the cube has a type of BigInt,or am I barking up the wrong tree?
I'm a beginner with SQL 2012 SSDT & SSMS. I get this error message when I try to deploy my project:Â
"Error 6 Error (Data mining): KEY SEQUENCE columns are not supported at the case level. The 'Customer Key' column of the 'TK448 Ch09 Cube Clustering' mining structure contains content that is not valid. 0 0 " I am finding it hard to locate the content that is not valid. I've been trying to find a answer for this problem but can't seem to find anything. How can I locate the content that is not valid and change or delete it so that I can deploy this solution?
- a data mining structure with about 80 columns. - a data mining model using Microsoft_Decision_Trees with 2 prediction columns.Â
I thought I would then explore the possibility of have more than 2 prediction columns, in this case 20.
I get an error message and I can't work out : a) if this is because there's a limit to the maximum number of prediction columns and where that maximum is stated. b) if something else has become corrupted c) there's a know bug and if the error message is either meaningful or not.
Either way, I'm unable to complete the data mining wizardÂ
The error message is :Errors in the metadata manager. Either the mining structure with the ID of '[my model Structure]' does not exist in the database with the ID of 'DMAddinsDB', or the user does not have permissions to access the object.
I am using Microsoft_Time_Series and have set HISTORIC_MODEL_GAP to various values (from 1 to 21). I always get this error: Error (Data mining): The 'HISTORIC_MODEL_GAP' data mining parameter is not valid for the 'My Time Series' model.
In Algorithm Parameters window, this parameters is not there by default, so I have to add it.
Implementing data mining Add-in in an academic setting? We need to handle over 150 new students a semester and have their connection to Analysis Services survive for their four years at the college. We are introducing data mining to every freshman business student as a unit within their Intro to Excel class (close to a month of work to give them a sense of what is possible). Other courses later in their curriculum will expand on that introduction.Â
Once implemented, we would have as many as 900 connections to manage (four years from now). It is possible that multiple sections will be running at the same time, so 40 students may be accessing the data mining tools concurrently. Â
Is there a way to "bulk establish" the access credentials and establish those databases?
I created a Market Basket Data Mining Model with Association Rules, which I want to query and show in a Report. Everything works fine, when I preview the result in the Reporting Services Data tab I see some sort of table which I can expand and then see the related products.
Unfortunately this result seems to be an ADOMD Datareader which I cannot place in a table, matrix or textfield.
If anyone knows how I can make this Informationen available in my Report please let me know.
With SASS Database i have created Data mining Structure Using Time series algorithm, while processing the SSAS db, Data mining  taking long time to process, so how we can  reduce processing time ???
Hi, I have just run a simple data set through a model to predict a simple true or false value (i.e. binary output) The Lift Chart/Mining Legend in Analysis Services shows three results €“ Score, Population Correct (%), and Predict Probability (%)
Population Correct I beleive is the percentage of predictions it got right out of the total number of predictions it tried to make. Is this correct?
However, I can€™t work out how the other two are derived in particular the 'SCORE'. To give a live example the scores were as follows:
Model Score Pop Correct Pred Probability Decision Trees 0.83 76.59% 54.28% Neural Network 0.75 67.63% 50.05% Ideal Model 100.00%
Can anyone help with this and give a detailed explanation?
I am trying to model data in analysis services with the Advance Create Mining Model function in the excel addin. I am having trouble creating an association model that works like the Associate button above the Advanced button.
The format of my data is like this
OrderID Product
100 Bike
100 Helmet
100 Shoes
200 Helmet
200 basketball
200 Bat
300 Shoes
300 Socks
The associate button works perfectly since it asks me which column is the transaction id (orderid) and which column I am trying to predict (product). The advanced create mining model asks me to determine what the columns are...
OrderID=key Product=Input+Predict?
When I run the advance create mining model associate, I get a browser that gives me no rules and the support for only one item itemset (each product but no combination of products).
Does anyone know what I have to do to get it to work like the associate button?
Hey gang, I have ran into an installation issue that has been bugging me all weekend. I'm trying to run the preditive analytics query from a web based application (ASP.NET). I have installed a data pump as directed by this article "Configuring HTTP Access to SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services on Microsoft Windows Server 2003" because this isn't set up under a domain. I also set appropriate roles in Data Mining Database (set it to everyone for testing purpose).
ConnectionString is "MSOLAP.3;Persist Security Info=True;Data Source=http://1.0.0.1/olap/msmdpump.dll;Initial Catalog=DataMiningDB"
Try Dim connection As AdomdConnection = Me.Connect Dim command As New AdomdCommand(txtQuery, connection) Dim adapter As New AdomdDataAdapter(command) Dim dataset As New DataSet
' Fill the dataset adapter.Fill(dataset)
' Bind to grid Return dataset Catch ex As Exception Throw ex End Try Return Nothing
Exception Details: Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient.AdomdErrorResponseException: Errors in the high-level relational engine. A connection could not be made to the data source specified in the query. Errors in the high-level relational engine. A connection could not be made to the data source specified in the query. OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: Login failed for user 'VMSQL2006IUSR_VMSQL2006'.; 28000.
It happens on the adapter.Fill(dataset). Any ideas?
I have also tried to set the olap application pool to use different identity instead of "Network Services", but I always get the same error message (but with user I specified instead of I_USR).
I wrote a data mining plug-in algorithm in SSAS and now I am trying to view the lift chart in Management Studio. The studio gives the following error:
"The Data Mining Query builder control cannot be initialized due to the following problem: Deserialization failed: Multiple definition of element 'Column12' causes the content model to become ambigious. A content model must be formed such that during validation of an element information item sequence, the particle contained directly, indirectly or implicitly therein with which to attempt to validate each item in the sequence in turn can be uniquely determined without examining the content or attributes of that item, and without any information about the items in the remainder of the sequence."
I really do not understand what i did wrong. Can anybody help me?
I perform data mining on all products and a specific product category. Do I need to create 2 data source views, one for all products and the other one for the specific product category? Afterward, I run the Data Mining Wizard 2 times to create 2 mining structures. I also need to add the same mining model (e.g. Bayes, Cluster) to each of these mining structures. Is there any simple way to do it?
I have an error message I was wondering if anyone else has seen and resolved. When I open excel and click on the query wizard on the Data Mining Ribbon, I get an error message that says "Input String not in Correct Format"
After I close this dialog box the 'Welcome to Query .... ' wizard will open, but when I select the Advance button my process aborts due to the input string error.
I have only ran association models on the computer.
The Manage Models and Browse buttons work fine.
The error came up on Friday, but it wasn't there on Thursday. There were no changes done to the machine (no installation of new software).
I have tried reinstalling the add-in.
Thank you all for your help,
Davy

I added a connection (ADO.NET) object by name testCon in the connection manager - I wanted to programmatically supply the connection string. So I used the "Expressions" property of the connection object and set the connectionstring to one DTS variable. The idea is to supply the connection string value to the variable - so that the connection object uses my connection string.
Then I added a "Backup Database Task" to my package with the name BkpTask. Now whenever I try to set the connection property of BkpTask to the testCon connection object, by typing testCon, it automatically gets cleared. I am not able to set the connection value.
Then after spending several hours I found that this is because I have customized the connection string in testCon. If I don't customize the connection string, I am able to enter the "testCon" value in the connection property of the BkpTask.
I have a Data Flow Task within a ForEach loop container.  The source of the flow is ADO.NET connection and the destination is a Flat File Connection.  I loop through a collection of strings in the ForEach loop.  Based on the string content, I write some data to the same destination file in each iteration overwriting the previous version. I am running into following Errors:
[Flat File Destination [38]] Warning: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. [Flat File Destination [38]] Error: Cannot open the datafile "Example.csv". [SSIS.Pipeline] Error: Flat File Destination failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020200E.
I know what's happening but I don't know how to fix it. Â The first time through the ForEach loop, the destination file is updated. Â The second time is when this error pops up. Â I think it's because the first iteration is not closing the destination file. How do I force a close of the file within Data Flow task or through a subsequent Script Task.This works within a SQL 2008 package on one server but not within SQL 2012 package on a different server.
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
I'm trying to perform a simple DTS tassk and am having no luck. All I'm trying to do is to run a task that will delete rows from an Access table. I presume I have to create a Data Driven Query in order to do this, but I can't seem to get the formula just right. Can someone shed some light on the subject, please? BOL says little to nothing about how to set up a simple task. Microsoft.com is also pretty lsackluster with regards on what to do. Again, thanks for any help.
I use a data driven query task to perform row updates along with appending row data to a text file. In the source I use 'select top 1000 field1, ..., fieldn from table'. The package hangs when executing the data driven task. If I reduce the return count to 'select top 100...' the package execute with no problems. I can do that 10 times, with no problems. But anything more then 100 will hang the package at that task. Please help!
In the data flow task, i have thosands of rows flowing, now just before inserting these rows into a table, i want to delete some rows in the destination table. For this, if i use the oledb command, then it will run several times. I think a script can do it but I want to avoid it because it would be an inefficient affair.
I am migrating DTS packages to SSIS (recreating all the logic). I have a Data Driven Query task in DTS with
Source query - select x,y from table1 (from database db1) Binding - table2 which contains columns which match table1 x,y (fron database db2) Transformation - maping from source table1 x,y to Binding table2 x,y Queries - type update update table2 set x=? where y=?
I know that there is no similar task in SSIS,can someone tell me how to replicate this in SSIS
I'm trying to use the SSIS Execute SQL Task to pull XML from a SQL 2005 database table. The SQL is of the following form:
SELECT (
SELECT MT.MessageId 'MessageId', MT.MessageType 'MessageType', FROM MessageTable MT ORDER BY MT.messageid desc FOR XML PATH('MessageStatus'), TYPE
) FOR XML PATH('Report'), TYPE
For some reason I can only get this query to work if I use an ADO.NET connection type. If I try to use something like the OLEDB connection I get the following error:
<ROOT><?MSSQLError HResult="0x80004005" Source="Microsoft XML Extensions to SQL Server" Description="No description provided"?></ROOT>
Can anyone tell me why the SELECT ... FOR XML PATH... seems only to work with ADO.NET connections?
I have a requirement of migrating DTS package which is done in Sql Server 2000 to SSIS 2012.
I started with one package having data driven query task and done with source for which i chose OLE DB Source and given the required select query in ssis 2012
I'm stuck now and i'm unable to choose the relevant tools in ssis 2012 for binding, transformation,queries and lookup tabs used in dts 2000 for this DDQT.
