I am dealing with SSIS in VS 2005... Trying to convert all my DTS packages... So, basically all my packages will extract some information from a database and load the results into a spreadsheet.
To start I am trying to do a TOP 1 returning a string from the db... The first row has column names but mysteriously the package will start to write the expected results in the third row instead of the second one. The second row will remain blank and if I do a preview against the destination spreadsheet within the pkg I will see a NULL value in the second row and then in the third row I will see the string I was expecting.
Tried the following with no success:
Regedit.exe, in Hkey_Local_Machine/Software/Microsoft/Jet/4.0/Engines/Excel/ do TypeGuessRows=8, ImportMixedTypes=Text, AppendBlankRows=0, FirstRowHasNames=Yes
How can I use code (wither it be SQL or .Net Framework) to programmatically import 8 different Excel Sheets into One SQL Table (that currently does not exist)?
I'm battling with importing sales data from different ERP systems into a SQL table. I have multiple spreadsheets, which have the same sheet name, column names and formats. I use a for each file loop container to loop through the different files. I use variables passed to a script to pull the relevant source information from the file name. I then use the variables to create derived columns in the flow to indicate the datadate and the company division.
My problem is even though all the data and metadata looks the same, there are a couple of columns between the two spread sheets that alway complain about the metadata not matching or a coumn needing to be added to the external metadata column collection and the same coumn name needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection.
These spreadsheets are coming from different countries but I have gone in and adjusted any fromats that are different from the excel spreadsheet used as the template. The same two columns out of 12 complain and I'm not sure what is causing the error. In the error is
Warning: 0x800470C8 at Read excel File, Excel Source [274]: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "COGS" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.
The "external metadata column "COGS " (2512)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection.
Eventually, I'll have 3 spreadsheets to load and need to find out why they are not viewed as the same data and metadata when they apear that way on the surface. I've searched numerous blogs out there (Even Jamie's) and can't find anything.
Would you happen to know how one could convert some Excel spreadsheets to MSSQL? There is some commercially available software, but there must also be a way for me to manipulate the files.
We have a process here that produces several dozen Excel Spreadsheets every day from SQL Server using the bcp utility. the problem is that we cannot include the column headers when producing the Output. We are therefore trying to find a method where we can append the column Headers to the Spreadsheets; is there a way of doing this?
Some of the reports I am generating have tens of columns so the management decides to use Excel files only.
Is there any way that for a single report (not the whole project) I can disable printing and most of the exporting options (including PDF, HTML, TXT ...) and only leave the xls files available?
I am trying to import data from named ranges in excel spreadsheets. I have no troubles if the named sheets have the same number of columns but I can not get the package to work when the spreadsheets have different number of columns. I am using the excel source as the input to my dataflow. I have tried setting it up with the maximum number of columns but if the named range has less than that, I am getting an error.
I have a problem that stops me from using Integration Services as THE ETL tool.
My goal is to load a data warehouse type of a database. The database is MaxDB (former SAP DB), but this is not the point. Let's take ANY ODBC compliant DB and assume all I have is ODBC driver - no OLE DB driver.
I figured out how to read from ODBC source (using Data Reader and ADO.NET provider for ODBC).
Now my question is how do I output/write my data into ODBC source? When I try to use OLE DB Destination it does not give me an option to use .Net Provide for ODBC. I tried other "destinations" with no luck.
I use this version of SQL Server 2005: (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1187.07 (Intel X86) May 24 2005 18:22:46 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
i am transfering the table from one database to csv file format..i did it.. again i want to shift that csv files to another databse as tables. how to do this task.. pls help me.. its very urgent..out TL had given me the dead line.. send reply soon....
Am new to SSIS and developing a component which pulls data from a staging table and drops them into another table in the same database.
Am using a 1) OLE DB Source to get the data from the staging table. 2) OLE DB Destination to insert or push the data into another table of the same database. 3) Script component to get the error rows and to update the staging table column with a flg value.
The rows that throw an error like primary key violation, or any other error should be redirected to the script component and the process should get completed.
The Error Output of the OLE DB Destination doesnt show any columns to be selected for Redirect Row option
The script executes without any error and the records are shown in error path but the records are not updated in the DB.
This is what i have in the script
Public Class ScriptMain
Inherits UserComponent
Dim sqlConn As SqlConnection
Dim sqlCmd As SqlCommand
Dim connMgr As IDTSConnectionManager90 Dim txnIdParam As SqlParameter
Dim errorDescParam As SqlParameter
Public Overrides Sub AcquireConnections(ByVal Transaction As Object)
Hi All, In Migrating from DTS to SSIS we have scenario where data from OLE DB (SQL Server) is inserted into ODBC source (transoft driver). In case of DTS, ODBC component was provided. For SSIS we used the Destination Script Component and programmatically used the ODBC related calls to design similar functionality. However we are getting the following error €“ Error[42000][Transoft] [TSODBC][usqld] Name expected@
However the same program pointing to Microsoft Access ODBC driver works fine.
Any help in this direction will be greatly helpful. Thanks, S Suresh
ts my first time trying to set up a SSIS job using the import/export wizard to export the results of a query into an excel file.
i am using sql server 2005, windows XP SP2.
In the last step in the excel destination editor, in the connection manager when i am trying to select the excel file to write into i am getting this error.
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 ' provider is not registered on the local machine.
I have set up the excel connection manager. i have changed the properties of the project to set
the Run64BitRuntime to false.
i am running the latest version of MDAC 2.8 on the machine too
please let me know if there is anything else i need to do to fix this.
I have a doubt regarding SSIS data destinations. I have a word document which is stored in the sql database table as varbinary(max). I want to fetch that doument and load it into word document through ssis.Is it possible?If so,how to do it?
One more question regarding data destination..I have created an interface to execute the ssis package from asp.net application.The package will be run by sql server agent.The question is is there any way that the package output will be shown on the local machine rather than host machine(which has interface and package).
I am new to using SSIS and need some assistance. I am trying to create a package that will loop through a folder of DBF files and import them into SQL server. Here is what I did so far: - Created a Foreach Loop Container with a Data Flow Task within - Created a string variable to store the file names - Created the OLE DB Source and Destinations - Created the connection manager with dBASE III Extended Property pointed to the folder where the files are.
When I try to set the OLE Source to use the file name variable, I get an error stating that there is no Destination table defined. I get the same error when I try to setup the OLE Destination. How do I resolve this issue? I want it to import each file into its own table. Is there any way to reuse this file name variable as the destination table name?
I am trying to migrate database from old structure to new structure usign SSIS.
The table in new db have extra field that i need to assign it using variable. this is because i have few customer that having different variable value. (meaning for 1 customer, the variable will be fix for all the tables in the database)
my question, without using the Execute Sql Task, can i assign the variable into the the old db destination?
eg my data flow Task is : OLE Db Source - Derived Column - OLE DB Destination.
Example data
Old structure (key = txnID) --------------------- TxnID ChequeNo Bank (chq Bank - Bank in Bank) Amount
I have created a SSIS package which is getting data from SQL Server table to Excel File.
Step 1 : using Oledb to get records. Step 2 : created Excel Connection and Excel Destination component Step 3 : Configured the Excel File Path using variables. Step 4 : Changed the property 64 bit FALSE
When try to run from BIDS it is running fine. But It is not running when try to run from SQL JOB.
The following Error i got:
: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed. ::: component "Excel Destination" (588) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C. ::: One or more component failed validation. ::: There were errors during task validation. ::
I have a Dataflow task with oledb source that is using SqlCommand to retrieve data and oledb destination to write the source output to a table. I have access to both the source and destination databases.
The problem is the destination component is not writing any rows to the destination table eventhough the Source component is returning rows (I can see them in the Preview and the source database table as well). I'm using "Table/View Name from Variable" for destination.
The Package executes without any errors but there is no output.
I am trying to use a conditional split task so that I can check for specific fields. If the value doesn't exist I am piping the records to a derived field task, where I add an error. I then try to send these records to a flat file destination so that I can keep track of them. However, when I execute the SSIS data flow task I get the following error
[Log Invalid Records [5496]] Warning: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
This file isn't being used by any other process as far as I can tell, and the only process using it is the SSIS task trying to write to it.
If anyone has any ideas, then I would really really appreciate it
Hello....I have just installed the trial copy of SQL 2005 server and updated with SP1 as well as post SP1 hotfixes.
However, when I try doing sample training material on SSIS, if I try to output to any type of destination output (flat file, excel, access, localhost SQL database) it always does a SQLDUMPER on me and never finishes....I always have to stop the debugger to get out of it.
What pointers can be given to troubleshoot symptoms given above ?
We have a nice issue here. We are running SQL 2005 Dev edition Service Pack 2 and we are trying to copy the contents of one table in a local sql server database to another table in another database on the same local sql server. We use an oledb source and a sql server destination. The table structure is exactly the same. One column is of the datatype ntext, when we try to load the contents the package will stop with the error:
OnError 11-9-2007 14:38:24 11-9-2007 14:38:24 00:00:00 The attempt to send a row to SQL Server failed with error code 0x80004005.

Removing the column from the sql server destination will result in loading the complete table. Using an oledb destination instead of sql server destination fixes the problem. Is this a bug in the SQL server destination component?
I've just upgraded from using DTS to SSIS. I've run through a few tutorials and am starting to use to the new ways of working.
There are however two task that I'm not really sure how to tackle, can someone suggest the best method in SSIS.
1) The destination table has many FK's. I'd like the package to check that the input data does not violate the FK's and use a default value for the columns where a violation occurs.
2) I need to increment a value in the package as a source column for use as the Primary Key field in the destination insert. It would be an added bonus if I could find out the maximum key used in the destination table already so that I can set my counter for this field at that value + 1.
Ok. I've been messing around with exporting data to excel using an Excel Destination. I keep having formatting problems specifically with dates, numbers and text (if the text looks like a number). I am exporting to a range.
1) If set the FirstRowHasColumnNames to true, format the appropriate cells in the header, and the range is set to the row of column headers only, the formatting does not apply.
2) If set the FirstRowHasColumnNames to true,include a blank row after the header, format the appropriate cells in the that row and set the range to both rows, the formatting does apply but I get a blank row after the header line.
3) If set the FirstRowHasColumnNames to false, format the appropriate cells in the first row, and set the range to that row, the formatting does not apply.
I cannot use VBA or install excel on the server and manipulate it via VBA.
Is there any way to delete the row via a query using OLEDB? I seem to have read you can blank out a line but not delete a row using this method.
I have a small problem. I've gone through the SSIS wizard and created a dtsx file which imports data from an access file into a SQL Server 2005 database. It has been set to delete existing rows and enable identity insert.
I then edited the .dtsx package in SQL Server Management Studio and added an environment variable configuration to allow me to change the destination database. In the script which runs the dtsx, here is what I have (it's an x64 system, so hi have to use DTExec):
Description: The configuration environment variable was not found. The envir onment variable was: "InitialCatalog". This occurs when a package specifies an e nvironment variable for a configuration setting but it cannot be found. Check th e configurations collection in the package and verify that the specified environ ment variable is available and valid.
I got the package.connections.etc etc path from originally creating the environment variable as an xml config file, then I could open the config file and see what the path was...
I am currently trying to use a SSIS datareader destination as a datasource in Reporting Services (RS). I have sucessfully developed the report and I am able to execute and see the results from it in the RS preview pane. I am also able to deploy it (same server as RS development and report is on) without errors. However, once deployed, I am unable to get the report to work in Report Manager. I get the following error message:
"An error has occurred during report processing. Query execution failed for data set Dynamic_POS_BO_xRef'. The package failed to execute."
I have read everything in BOL regarding configuration of the RS Execution Account and have configured it with a domain member that has admin rights and tryed it with one that has limited rights (best practice recommendation).
I have a made a simple mapping connecting source and destination on SQL server on local box. I am getting ~36K rows/min as the thru put. I only want to use ole db destination data access mode as SQL query (dnt want to use fast load).
I am doing this test in order to set a bench mark for a custom component which i have developed. With this result i can figure out how much time my custom component is taking.
Experts, please let me know your views on the thru put which i am getting is it good bad or ok with the scenario i am testing and also if there are some ways to improve it.
I am a complete newbie to SSIS. I can create a simple package to transfer data between SQL instances and thats about it.
I have tableA (source data) and tableB (Destination data). TableA has 4 column and tableB has 5. I want to transfer all of the columns from tableA into TableB, but the 5th column in tableB needs to be populated with the ServerInstance name of the server TableA sits on. Do I need to have multiple data sources to achieve this? I have tried but no matter how I set it up, the Column in the destination is set to ignore.
