Dynamic Logging Properties In MS SQL DTS Packages
Feb 7, 2007
Since I can't seem tofind the Microsoft SQL 2000 forum, I will post this here:
I currently have logging enable on several of my packages.
However, we are still in development of our packages and are reaching upwards
of 100 and logging will eventually need to be active on all of them. In
production, there will still be a development server and a production server,
both with different server names and user id/pwd.
I am looking for a way to dynamically change the logon information for the
logging so that we do not have to have someone go through and manually change
the options. I have tried using Dynamic Properties Task, but this only works on
the 2nd run of the package.
-----
As a second question: can anyone explain to me why the errordescription field
in sysdtssteplog is cut short?

Hi guys,
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?
' Add your code here
' Source Type = 2
' Global variable = glvTrade
' Destination = 'Connections';'Trade';'OLEDBProperties';'Data Source';'Properties';'Value'
Regards

hello everyone,
I am going through the following URL in trying to understand logging from SSIS packages
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms138020.aspx
What I am confused about that the schema mentioned in this article is
Computer
The name of the computer on which the log event occurred.
Operator
The identity of the user who launched the package.
SourceName
The name of the container or task in which the log event occurred.
SourceID
The unique identifier of the package; the For Loop, Foreach Loop, or Sequence container; or the task in which the log event occurred.
ExecutionID
The GUID of the package execution instance.
MessageText
A message associated with the log entry.
DataBytes
A byte array specific to the log entry. The meaning of this field varies by log entry.
Is missing certain things like event id, Type, category (these are usually seen for all messages in windows applicaiton event log). I feel that these are pretty important to be logged because based on these I will be setting up alerting mechanism.
Can the SSIS logging schema be changed so that things like eventid, type and category can be assigned at the time of logging the message?
regards,
Abhishek.

Hi!
I want to log package info like when the package starts and ends, and write info to a sql server table. there are of course many ways to do this. I just want some opinions from you if you have some clever ways to do this.

Hello all,
I am struggling around defining a logging mechanism for my packages. I have 2 questions concerning that matter:
I have used event handlers for my loggings (as defined here: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/06/11/1593.aspx ), but the problem is with packages that failed validation. I cannot find log entry for these cases since no "onerror event" doesn't trigger (for instance when the table I'm loading to doesn't exsist).
And the second question: many of my packages are executed using execute process task (using dtexec command line). I am trying to capture the result of the execution as a log file by using the ">" in the command line in order to output the execution to a log file in the following format:
dtexec /FILE "MyPackage.dtsx" > " MyPackageLog.log"
This works fine when executed by myself but when using the Execute Process task (defined: Executable: DTExec.exe, Arguments: /FILE "MyPackage.dtsx" > " MyPackageLog.log") I get execution error€¦
Thanks,
Liran

Hi All,
I have a requirement of logging the failure and the error of a job executing a SSIS package to text file.
However, when I go to job step -> Advanced, in the section "SQL Server
Integration Services Package" where that info to setup logging is, it
is blank and just says:
"There are no options for this command type"
Any ideas?
I thought that this might not be supported in Standard Edition as I am running standard edition. Then I checked on two other servers, where I have Enterprise edition with SP2. On one of the installations, I am able to give the log file, the other one still shows,
"There are no options for this command type"
What is the problem? Both of them I am using the sysadmin role account. I have proxy account created on both the SQL instances. I don't think this is the problem, but still I checked this.
Can anybody help me?
Regards,
Virendra

Hi,
I recently came across a DTS made by an experienced DBA and was impressed by the use of Dynamic Properties DTS Task used. As I understood the DTS was generic and if I'm not mistaken, can be easily transferred to another server/machine on an AS IS basis and without having to change any of the properties (server name, login, password etc.) for the source or destination server.
This seems to be a really neat feature.
I tried to put this to use but am having problems regarding how to proceed... Unfortunately I have not been able to find any article either which addresses this particular request and takes a novice step by step so that this feature can be used.
Will appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
We€™ve got almost 250 old dts packages which simply loading data into Sql tables from plain files or at the reverse point. Most of them are defined with fixed fields and its fixed positions one after one. We don€™t want to migrate them using Import wizard, on the contrary we€™re producing them from the beggining taking advantatge of SSIS architecture to the full.
And now, we€™re trying to imagine how to migrate automatically that valuable info from Sql Server 2000 to Sql Server 2005 without efforts€¦ You know, any program be able to move that detailed info
to SSIS.
So we would avoid to select again all these positions per each file -very tedious and we're lazy
I don€™t see how except, of course, migrate them directly
Let me know if you need further explanations or more clarity on that.

Hi,
DTS now has a dynamic properties task in sql 2000 which at a first glance is pretty cool. However i do not know if it would sort out a particular issue I have.
I need to have a generic DTS package that pulls data from different locations based on the project selected by a user. The source is a btrieve database
The name of the tables change with the project, so for example the F24 project would have its source table named F24TACT and the IFO source would have its source table named IFOTACT.
I need to be able to dynamically retrieve the table name from a local SQL table and assign this name to the data pump for the data extraction..
I don' t know if this is achievable in DTS. I can retrieve the value into a look up variable but how can i set it at runtime ?
thanks
Tony

Hello,I am building a packge where an FTP task needs to pull down a singlefileevery day from a specific location. The location will only have theone file.The file name will be different every day. A sample of one of the filenameslooks like this:CDNSC.CDNSC.SC00015.04012007The file names will be different every day, as the last eight digitsrepresent the date of the data in the file. The source files will belocatedin a subdirectory called 'outgoing'.My first approach to this has been to use a Dyamic Properties Task tosetthe SourceFileName of the FTP Task. I tried using a sting GlobalVariableexpressed as *.*.*.* thinking a wildcard would work, but it didn't.What approaches can I take so that the Source Filename in the FTP taskwilldymanically update each day to get the one file?Thank you for your help!cdun2

Im using embedded SS2000 DTS packages in SSIS. These legacy packages use Dynamic Properties Tasks to pick up connection settings from a named ini file. The name of that ini file needs to change occasionally. To date the only way we have of doing this is resetting all the dynamic properties to point at the new ini file. Unfortuntely there are a lot of connections and properties and there is no budget to recreate these packages in SSIS. There must be an easier way?!
Does anyone know how to quickly change Dynamic Properties Tasks to look at a new ini?

I would like to have a dynamic trigger on INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE. (each their own trigger).
What i want, is the trigger to log what has happened with the record. For the insert trigger, i would like to select all columns and put them in 1 column to my logging table. For the update trigger, i need the same, however for both of the old and new items.
For example:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TRIGGER_TEST](
[COLUMNA] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[COLUMNB] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,
[COLUMNC] [nvarchar](20) NULL,
[COLUMND] [date] NULL,
[COLUME] [decimal](2, 2) NULL,
[Code] ....
When I insert an item in TRIGGER_TEST, i would like to see what is inserted in the TRIGGER_LOGGING table.
INSERT INTO [dbo].[TRIGGER_TEST]
([COLUMNB]
,[COLUMNC]
,[COLUMND]
,[COLUME])
VALUES
('test'
,'hello'
,getdate()
,0.1)
GO
I would like to see in my TRIGGER_LOGGING table in NEW:
COLUMNB='test'|COLUMNC='hello'|COLUMND='2015-10-13 16:04'|COLUME=0,10

I am trying to use the idea as mentioned by Jamie at:
http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/12/09/2480.aspx
which is to build dynamic SQL using a variable evaluated as an expression.
Set Expression="SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyColumn = " + @[VariableContainingFilterValue]
Everything works fine. The entire package works.
My next step is to log the variable so that I know, after package execution, exactly what SQL statement the package is executing.
I tried to do it by a couple of ways in a Script task:
1) Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, String.Empty, String.Format("SQL: {0}", Dts.Variables("SourceSQL").Expression), String.Empty, 0, False)
Gives me just an expression without actually evaluating it
2) Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, String.Empty, String.Format("SQL: {0}", Dts.Variables("SourceSQL").Value), String.Empty, 0, False)
Produces an error:
The expression for variable €œSourceSQL€? failed evaluation. There was an error in the expression.

Yitzhak

Hi,
I have a dts package that currently uses a dynamic properties task to set the values of global variables. Each variable is based on the value of a query to the database.
I am in the process of migrating this dts package to SSIS but cannot find an equivalent function. I have looked at property expressions but cannot get this working the same way.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm currently trying to convert over packages from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. The biggest obstacle at the start has to do with converting my "Dynamic Properties" control. I use it to read an .ini file and load the user name and password to my connections. With 2000 it's nice and easy 1 file 3 lines. While trying to convert it I€™ve had nothing but problems. I've tried the Registry Entry but it forces everything into the Current User and I can't use that I need local machine. There is no documentation and I can't have a xml file with 1000 different username and password settings because 1 person has to update that file with the new passwords. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank You

I have recently prototyped a system, in which I use meta data to build a package of execute package tasks.
Essentially, in a Script task I do the following:
1) Create a new package in memory.
2) I add variables, logging to this package.
3) To allow for precedences I create a sequence container for any and all execute pacakge tasks that can run in parallel.
4) To help with parameters specific to the execute package task, I add another sequnce container for the individual excute package task.
5) Finally I add the actual execute package task.
6) Save the package to local disk.
7) Execute this pacakge.
I hadn't been setting explicitly setting the MaxConcurrentExecutables, but upon opening the saved copy of the last package I built and executed it has the default -1 setting.
My problem is that while this in-memory package is running it appears to be only running a single executalbe at a time. I'm going to try setting maxconcurrentexecutable to 4 or some other number to see if I get some parallel execution going on.
The real question is "Is there a limitation on using dynamic packages that limits them to only run a single executable at a time?". I haven't found anything in BOL that leads me to believe there is, but It was very obvious that only one executable would run at a time when I test this out.

Hello All,
I have 5 SSIS Packages out of which 1 is the parent package which calls the other 4 packages.
There are some database connections in my child packages.
Now, I want to make the packages dynamic.
I have two options.
1) Have all the connection information in the parent package and pass those values to the child packages. This way I'll be having only 1 configuration, the one for the Parent.
2) Have a separate configuration file for each package that will have all the connection related informations.
What is the better practice ?
Thanks & Regards,

1) We are doing data migration from SQL Server 2000 OLTP design to SQL Server 2005 OLAP design.
2) We have used SSIS packages and data flow tasks in which we mentioned connection strings for source and target
containers.
3) We have a master execute package which contains series of execute packages in relational order.
4) When we execute this master package, we should be able to dynamically specify different source and connection
strings for all packages.
5) Can we do it with dtexec option /Conn[ection] IDOrName;ConnectionString
We know what to give for ID or Name but what do we give for ConnectionString. Will it be the source/target one? Can we specify both source and target ones with which the data flow packages get executed.

Hi,
I am using VS.net 2003 as a front end and SQL server 2005 backend.
i am creating SSIS packages for Datatransformation programically in .NET.
but the package created is compatible to the previous version of SQL server ie SQL server 2000.
So i need to migrate it in SSIS package compatible to SQL server 2005.
it is migrate also using Data Transformation migration wizard.
But i want to migrate my DTS package programically or by using stored procedure.
Is there any stored procedure or any code is there from which i can migrate DTS into SSIS ?

Hi,
My Problem goes Like this....
I have a folder which contains all the flat files which are used by all the packages(ex--flat file connection managers) in my project.
If we want to change the name of the folder,have to change in every package( in all connection managers) manually.It looks hardcoding and timetaking.
Is there any way to change in one place(xml,file,variable) so that it should be affected in all the packages.
one more doubt is..
If we configure the flat file connection manager in package configurations,configuration file (ex-xml)will be created (we can make changes in that file regarding that connecion mgr only.)
But i want one configuration file (ex--xml) so that i should configure the details of all the connection managers used in all packages.

I have an ODBC connection string that is working fine with the following properties:
Database="XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY"; strangely no server is specified in the string, but it is specified in the ODBC Connection file.
I am trying to do a new server registration in SSMS for this database.However, I don't understand where the network spec is placed.
Under Registered server name I've tried:
YYYYYYXXXXX
When I browse the server for the database instance list, I receive "network path was not found".
I even tried:"XXXXXXX",Network="YYYYYY" for the registered server name.Same error message.
What am I doing wrong ?

Greetings,
I am developing a package on my local workstation. I have defined two logging service providers. One is for SQL Server and the other is for the Windows Event Log. I am using the Dts.Log method in a script task to write log entries.
Logging is working properly with the SQL Server provider and rows are being inserted into the sysdtslog90 table. However, the only events that are being logged in the Windows Event Log are the package start and end events which I believe SSIS is doing automatically anyway.
Is there something I need to do to enable WIndows Event Log logging other than defining a log provider and making sure it is checked active? Won't SSIS write to two different logs with one Dts.Log call? Any ideas on what might be going wrong with my approach?
Thanks,
BCB

Hi,
I decided to use the SQL Server log provider to store logging data of all my Integration Services packages. I also created some reports about this data for operating purposes.
I have a problem occurs the name of the executing package is not always written to the log,but the name of the single task which failed. But that is not very useful information for operating, because I do not see any chance to get the name of the package by the information which is logged in the sysdtslog90 table in the database which I defined for SSIS Logging.
How do I configure the package to always log the package information into the table, too?
Best regards,
Stefoon

I'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!

Hi Craig/Kamal,
I got your email address from your web cast. I really enjoyed the web cast and found it to be
very informative.
Our company is planning to use SSIS (VS 2005 / SQL Server 2005). I have a quick question
regarding the product. I have looked for the information on the web, but was not able to find
relevant information.
We are getting Source data from two of our client in the form of Excel Sheet. These Excel sheets
Are generated using reporting services. On examining the excel sheet, I found out that the name
Of the columns contain data itself, so the names are not static such as Jan 2007 Sales, Feb 2007 Sales etc etc.
And even the number of columns are not static. It depends upon the range of date selected by the user.
I wanted to know, if there is a way to import Excel sheet using Integration Services by defining the position
Of column, instead of column name and I am not sure if there is a way for me to import excel with dynamic
Number of columns.
Your help in this respect is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Hi Anthony, I am glad the Web cast was helpful.
Kamal and I have both moved on to other teams in MSFT and I am a little rusty in that area, though in general dynamic numbers of columns in any format is always tricky. I am just assuming its not feasible for you to try and get the source for SSIS a little closer to home, e.g. rather than using Excel output from Reporting Services, use the same/some form of the query/data source that RS is using.
I suggest you post a question on the SSIS forum on MSDN and you should get some good answers.

Hi,
I have a need to display on screen AND email a pdf report to email addresses specified at run time, executing the report with a parameter specified by the user. I have looked into data driven subscriptions, but it seems this is based on scheduling. Unfortunately for the majority of the project I will only have access to SQL 2005 Standard Edition (Production system is Enterprise), so I cannot investigate thoroughly.
So, is this possible using data driven subscriptions? Scenario is:
1. User enters parameter used for query, as well as email addresses.
2. Report is generated and displayed on screen.
3. Report is emailed to addresses specified by user.
Any tips on how to get this working?
Thanks
