Is there a way to quickly document all tables and views a DTS package uses? Is there any system table/view which will hold this information?
For one of our projects we need to document these objects so that the client could remove unused objects from the db. There are 20 + DTS packages to go through.
Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Hi all
I would like to select transforms in a package and paste them as jpeg or similar into word or powerpoint in order to allow me to create a separate set of documentation.
However, whenever I copy some transformations and jump to word, the copy buffer is empty.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
What is the best way of documenting SSIS packages?I am not interested in purchasing any software, any general template that covers the key information of any SSIS package that should be defined and documented.

How do you document a DTS package? I cannot figure out how to print it, with all its parameters, code etc...
Where is it all stored?
Would be very useful.
Hi Folks,
I am new to this list server and have a dumb question. Does anybody know of any software that will document table/attributes very similiar to sp_help?? Basically, what I am looking for is some fancy documentor for tables very much like the one with access.
Thanks...
Is there any way to print a report with column name, datatype, size, etc in a report under SQL Server 6.5. I am looking for something

Hi folks,
I'm so sure this is a clueless newbie question, I'm embarrassed to be asking it. The short version of my question is, "What's the best path to generating printed documentation of my SQL 2005 database?" The long version follows...
I've just completed the first draft of my new SQL database design (using Management Studio). We were previously storing our data in seven (yes, seven) separate Access databases, now I have everything set up quite nicely in one SQL db, all nice and relational and with proper field sizes and naming conventions, etc. It's all beautiful, but now I need to document it.
Why wasn't it documented first and then built? Let's just say I inherited this task in mid-stream with a looming deadline. Yes, I would have liked to follow a different workflow, but it is what it is and I am where I am.
So I can go through every table and type up everything in Word, but I'm hoping there's some feature in Management Studio that will give me a head start. I read the Help file under "documenting databases," and it says you can output the metadata as and XMLA script. Sadly, it doesn't actually tell you how to do this, which is rather unhelpful.
I'd like to end up with a document that list all my tables, with field definitions, indexes, keys, and triggers. Is there an easier way to get there than going table-to-table and typing it all out?
Thanks,

I'm fairly new to a DBA role, I've been tasked with documenting all the SQL servers/databases. Is there anywhere on the Web where I could find a standard list of what needs to be documented. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have a large number of SPs that I would like to be able to document and provide this documentation to prospective clients. That is, provide them enough information without giving them the source code for the procedures.
I have found that all the parameters are in the sys.parameters table.
But I was wondering. Are the fields that are sent back out of an SP captured and recorded somewhere in the SQL Server catalog?
Is there an easy way to find out what fields are coming out of an SP?
Thanks in Advance

I am looking for an easy way to document the specifications of my tables, views, etc. In MS Access, one could use the "Documenter" utility to print out field names, data types, field sizes, and comments. Does SQL Server 2000 have a similar utility?
If not...
1. Why not? This would seem to be very useful.
2. What is the recommended way to document database specifications?
My ultimate goal is to develop an administration manual for our database.
Please note: I looked at the database designer diagram utility which is great for visually representing the relationships between tables. However, I am looking for a utility that will print out the field names, data types, field sizes and comments related to the fields.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks :)
Does anyone have any scripts, or know of any tools, that can scan through all of the SPs that I have inherited, documenting details?
Thx
As part of a project documentation I want to list out the fields of all the tables to say Excel to plug in a description of the field and other notes.
Is there a tool in EM that would facilitate? Or, is there a utility that would work or a SQL script? Any recommendations is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
I know what error 9002 is, but have found no single source documenting the state codes.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
Anybody got any idea on how to go about this?
We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
Hi all
Our data management system currently runs DTS packages using DTSPKG.dll.
I am currently looking at the possibliity of replacing the DTS packages and SQL 2000 with DTSX packages using SSIS in SQL 2005.
Do I need a new dll? or will the current dtspkg.dll handle the new DTSX packages?
Many thanks in advance!
Can you use multiple tables in a DTS job?
I copy a large data table from one database to another every night, but I only want to copy the data since the last time the DTS job ran. I am going to create new job that writes the date of the update to a date table.
I then want the DTS job to compare the invoice date from the datawarehouse table to the last date in the Date table, and only write the data with a newer date.
I know the script if the values were in the same table - but how do I use two different tables?
Is there a query or sp I can run to get me all package names on a server?

Hi all,I am creating SSIS packages which has flat files as data source and destination is SQLServer2005.I have successfully created packages for around 100 files. In future if the server is changed or/and the same flat file is moved to another location i cannot execute this created packages. I have to redo my work or i have to edit my packages which is a tedious job.Totally i am having around 750 files and each should have corresponding packages. Is there any better way to handle this changes.
Ummm.... else i put it in another way. Is it possible to create a Front end application in which the user gives the Server name,user name,password and the physical location of the flat files and when submitting this, SSIS package has to be created for the flat file which the user has given.
I browsed the net and found a link where they have given a way to create SSIS package using a program. Can anyone explain in detail about this.http://lakshmik.blogspot.com/2005/05/how-to-programmatically-create-ssis.html

We have a development environment where there are 4 development servers and a single production server.
some of our processes rely of some complex DTS packages.
what is the perferred method to create copies of these DTS packages so that they can be put onto all the development systems ?
Hi, I'm building a portal for supervisors can view their agents errors. We have a team that have been using Access to import data and QC it. I want to get these records into SQL but at the same time, the agents need to import their own work. I've create a DTS package that will import the data into the SQL table from a folder the agents have access to. I tried to create the strored proc to be run from the ASP page however it's not working and I'm having a hard time figuring out why. Here is the procCREATE PROCEDURE DTS

i have an application that runs on sql server, that is all working fine on the development environment, and nearly ready for deployment in production.
a large part of this application is based on complex dts packages.
is there a straightforward way to migrate all of these packages AND change all the connections to point to the live box rather than the development box, without painstakingly changing all the connection objects (in around 100 packages!!)?
