Errors Opening ADO Connections Using COM+ Component

Mar 19, 2008

Hello,

We have a strange problem occurring in an environment at a remote client that we're looking into. I was wondering if anybody else has experienced something similar.

We have a COM+ transactional component sitting on a machine that connects to a SQL server machine in the same room (ie no firewall between the two as far as I know, but I'll double check that to make sure).

This component was written in Delphi and uses ADO (sqloledb provider) to connect to the SQL Server. This works 99% of the time. However, there are times where we get the following error when trying to open connection (using the Connection ADO interface):

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (WrapperRead()).]General network error. Check your network documentation

or this:

Connection failure


The error codes associated with these were found in oledb.pas :(-2147467259) $8004D01C and (-2147168228) $80004005

When this happens, it seems to last a few seconds (usually around 10) and then everything comes back to normal. I'm just wondering what could make this happen when the SQL Server seems to be responsive when we try to connect to it using other means. The SQL machine runs Win2k3 sp2 for testing purposes.


Since we were not able to reproduce it yet, I wrote a little application trying to connect to a sql server when it is set on pause. When I run it inside a COM+ transaction, I get the same errors as above right away, the third time I'll get an error telling me that SQL is in pause state, If I run the exact same code but inside a simple vbs application (ie no COM+ transaction), I only get the pause error message sometimes after a few more seconds, and none of the other errors above. Could it be that the COM+ transaction is trying to do other things and these fail so it returns another error? If so, how come after a bit I get the proper message?

Anyways, I'm pretty lost as to why this is happening and how we can try to debug it since we have not been able to reproduce it yet. If anybody has any clues, please let me know.

Many thanks,

Greg

Visual Studio/BIDS Out Of Memory Errors Opening Large DTSX Files

Jul 26, 2006

I'm currently experiencing major problems with SSIS when opening and editing large .DTSX package files that contain Exec DTS 2000 Tasks which have the package data loaded internally. I have no issues if I point the task to a .DTS file, or to an actual DTS package on a SQL 2000 server - but if I load the package internally then once the underlying .DTSX file gets over around 17MB or so in size (which doesnt take long making a few edits to even fairly simple packages now and then), I start to experience major issues with VS/BIDS 2005 crashing randomly when I try to perform any action with the package (open, save etc). Things like OutOfMemory exception errors, followed by the properties of Exec DTS 2000 task being deleted, and also sometimes accompanied by messages about the application not being installed properly.

Again its ONLY when the underlying .DTSX file reaches a certain size limit, and only when I've got an Exec DTS 2000 task with the package loaded internally. I've replicated the issue using several different package files on several different machines (even on servers with lots of memory, fwiw).



Can anyone out there help me with this? SSIS - namely SSIS Exec DTS 2000 package tasks - are our lifeblood at my company and this trend of random and serious crashing on large package files is very disturbing to say the least.



thanks,



Wil

Using Connection Manager Connections Inside A Script Component

Feb 14, 2006

Within a data flow I have a script component that I want to perform some data calls from. I want to execute SQL commands to connections already defined in the package's connection manager.

Is there a way to set my script's connection variable to the connection manager connection? Or, can I use the connection manager connections directly from within the script?

Connections Closed But Still Getting Errors On Page

Apr 16, 2007

I have a page that I have 3 connections.  I've made sure that each of these are closed when they are not being used and opened just right before being used.  I keep getting the error "There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first."  This error might show up as being produced by a dataadapter or sqldatareader...I have many.  I've even tried to make separate connections as some have mentioned for each...leaving me with 15+ connections.  I have added "MultipleActiveResultSets=True" to the connection strings as some have mentioned.  I just don't know where to go from here...
Is it possible that the problem lies in multiple instances of this page being opened?  Also, the data refreshes every 15 seconds.  I really need this to work, but I have no clue on how to fix this problem.  The error is easy to reproduce by opening up multiple instances, but some of the times is doesn't give an error at all?!

Apr 30, 2015

I have VS 2013 installed in my machine with SQL server 2012 ,I have installed Microsoft data tools for VS 2013,In the integration service project  i used script component when i try to pen the script task its not opening VSTA projects ,its simple ideally without any action.I am facing this issue for past 2 months i tried fixing this problem but no use.

The script  task editor has "Access VSTA to write script using VS 2012".So i installed VSTA tools for 2012 and 2013 but no issue.

Deleting Old, Unused Connections From Connection Manager Causes Errors

Oct 29, 2007

For some reason, when I try to delete old DB connections from the connection manager, it causes compilation errors because it is not removing the references from the meta data. I get Object ID errors where it is still trying to find the connection after it has been deleted. I have tried going to the code behind and searching then deleting the invalid reference, but that still does not work. I have a connection for 2 totally different databases that are no longer being used in the SSIS package and I would like to get rid of them.

Suggestions?

SQL Express Errors: Diagram Component, Startup Error

Dec 28, 2005

Problem 1: Upon starting SQL Server Express I get the following error:

"An unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application....Cannot create a stable subkey under a volatile parent." Clicking OK lets the Server continue and I can use it quasi-normally.

Problem 2: Also, when I try to generate a diagram, I get a message that states

"Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner.  To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database diagram support objects."

But, the database HAS an owner, and resetting the owner (using the Files...) to other users has no effect.

Problem 3: I tried to change the name of a database, and it refused to do so. Except that now all objects under the database name (it is the same old name) have disappeared. Is there a magic folder somewhere that contains all of the tables, etc. that were 'banished' from the server?

Is there a way to detach the databases from Express and reattach them to the SQL Server 2000 I am also running? Last time I tried the 'detach' worked but all the objects were wiped out by the 'attach'. Handy feature.

Thanks

Glen

I copied the mdb file to a folder on the server which my packages have no problem reading data from.

Try Catch Doesn't Catch Errors Inside A Data Flow Transformation Script Component

Feb 15, 2007

Hi,

I'm having trouble with a Script Component in a data flow task. I have code that does a SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() call that throws an 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error. Thing is, the SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() call is already inside a Try..Catch block. Essentially I have two questions regarding this error:

a) Why doesn't my Catch block catch the exception?
b) I've made sure that my SqlCommand object and the SqlConnection property that it uses are properly instantiated, and the query is correct. Any ideas on why it is throwing that exception?

Hope someone could help.

Use Of A SSIS Variable Of Type “Object� Inside Script Component And Task Component

Mar 16, 2007

In a Data Flow, I have the necessity to use a SSIS variable of type €œObject€? inside Script Component and assign to it the content of 'n' variables of string type.
On exiting from the script the variable of type object should contain something like in the following lines:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
On exiting from the data flow I will use the variable of type Object in a Script Task, by reading each element in a cyclic fashion.
Is there anyone who have experienced something like this? Could anyone provide any example of that?
Thanks in advance!

A Custom Component For Use As A VIEW In SSIS- Is It Possible To Create One MERGE Like Component With More Than 2 Inputs

Aug 13, 2007

Hi all
I'm into a project which uses a lot of views for joining 2 or more tables. Using the MERGE component in SSIS will be a huge effort coz it only has 2 inputs and I gotta SORT the input too.
Isnt it possible to have a VIEW like component that joins more than 2 tables and DOESNT need sorting??
(I've thought about creating views in database engine but it breaks my data floe in SSIS and is'nt a practical solution)

Reference To Preceeding Component From Custom Dataflow Transformation Component

I am writing a custom dataflow transformation component and I need to get the name of the preceeding component.

I have been trying to find a way to get a reference to the Package object, MainPipe object or IDTSPath90 object (connecting to the IDTSInput90 of my component) from my component because I think from there I can get to the information I want.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Serious Script Component Bug - Clears Out All Code Inside Component

Nov 27, 2007



No idea where this bug crept in from. Have been using SSIS for 1.5 years now without hitting this problem.

I had a script component opening an XML document and parsing it using XPATH. I added some code that uses StreamReader / Streamwriter (closing one stream before starting the other). The code works without issue in my C# app.

And it ran without issue 2-3 times in SSIS. Then suddenly after running my package again, the script component says it completes successfully, yet nothing happens. I set a breakpoint on the first line of code - it never hits it. I add a msgbox as the first line of code - and it never displays.

I then close my package / exit out of ssis ... and then re-open it. When i open my script component, all of my code is GONE. All references that I added are gone.

I tried adding the streamreader/writer process to a dll I created from my c# app ... and added the DLL to the package -- same result.

I can reproduce this on 2 different computers.

Anyone experience this problem ? Any idea how to stop it ? Or debug it ?


Here is a slimmed down code sample of what causes the error :


Public Class ScriptMain
Public Sub Main()
Try
Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument
xmlDoc.Load("c:ulkasync_86281519_20070628045850225_4.xml")
MsgBox("xmlLoaded") --this doesn't display once the package starts "acting up"
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
UpdateXML("c:ulkasync_86281519_20070628045850225_4.xml", ex.Message)
End Try
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
Private Sub UpdateXML(ByVal fileName As String, ByVal message As String)
Try
Dim invalidChar As String = message.Trim().Substring(message.Trim().IndexOf("0x"), 4)
Dim rd As StreamReader = New StreamReader(fileName)
Dim xml As String = rd.ReadToEnd()
Xml = Xml.Replace(invalidChar, String.Empty)
xml = xml.Replace("", String.Empty)
xml = xml.Replace("<![CDATA[<![CDATA[", "<![CDATA[")
xml = xml.Replace("]]>]]>", "]]>")
MsgBox("replaced")
rd.Close()
Dim wr As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(fileName)
wr.Write(xml)
wr.Close()
Dim xdoc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument()
xdoc.Load(fileName)
Catch ex As Exception
UpdateXML(fileName, ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub

SQL Server 2008 :: How To Make Sproc Return Errors For Underlying Table Errors

Jul 1, 2015

I recently updated the datatype of a sproc parameter from bit to tinyint. When I executed the sproc with the updated parameters the sproc appeared to succeed and returned "1 row(s) affected" in the console. However, the update triggered by the sproc did not actually work.

The table column was a bit which only allows 0 or 1 and the sproc was passing a value of 2 so the table was rejecting this value. However, the sproc did not return an error and appeared to return success. So is there a way to configure the database or sproc to return an error message when this type of error occurs?

Need Help - Converting OLEDB Connections To SQL Connections In Asp.net

May 17, 2005

Hi there,
        Here we have got a
asp.net application that was developed when database was
sitting on SQL server 6.5. Now client has moved all of their databases
to SQL server 2000. When the database was on 6.5 the previous
development team has used oledb connections all over. As the databases
have been moved to SQL server 2000 now i am in process of changing the
database connection part. As part of the process i have a login
authorization code.
Private Function Authenticate(ByVal username As String, ByVal password As String, ByRef results As NorisSetupLib.AuthorizationResult) As Boolean
Dim conn As IDbConnection = GetConnection()

'Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sql", conn)

cmd.CommandText = sql
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.AddParam(cmd, "@logon", username)
NorisHelpers.DBHelpers.AddParam(cmd, "@password", password)
conn.Open()
'Get string for return values
Dim ReturnValue As String = cmd.ExecuteScalar.ToString

Parent Package Reports Failure On Errors, But No Errors In Log

Jul 31, 2006

I have a parent package that calls child packages inside a For Each container. When I debug/run the parent package (from VS), I get the following error message: Warning: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (3) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.

It appears to be failing while executing the child package. However, the logs (via the "progress" tab) for both the parent package and the child package show no errors other than the one listed above (and that shows in the parent package log). The child package appears to validate completely without error (all components are green and no error messages in the log). I turned on SSIS logging to a text file and see nothing in there either.

If I bump up the MaximumErrorCount in the parent package and in the Execute Package Task that calls the child package to 4 (to go one above the error count indicated in the message above), the whole thing executes sucessfully. I don't want to leave the Max Error Count set like this. Is there something I am missing? For example are there errors that do not get logged by default? I get some warnings, do a certain number of warnings equal an error?

Thanks,

Lee

Keep A Few Connections Open All The Time Or Open/close Connections On The Fly?

Jul 20, 2005

Just a quick question about connection management. My application willnever need more than 1 or 2 connections about at any given time. Also, I donot expect many users to be connected at any given time. For efficiency, Iwould like to keep connections alive throughout the lifetime of the objectsrequiring them, rather than opening a new connection, executing code andthen closing it again. What is the most efficient way of doing this?Should I perform the open/close or just one open when I create the objectand a close when I dispose of it?

Opening A MS SQL .bak File

Apr 16, 2008

Hi, I have a client who has a current website based on an MS SQL database. I am building a new website that will be in MySQL.

I have never used MSSQL before and the only information that i have been sent by the old web designer is a .bak file (which is the latest back-up of the MS SQL info) and the user name and password for the current on-line databases.

I dont know how to open this .bak file, ideally i would like to get it into MS excel or MS access. I have downloaded
SQL Server Management Studio Express and SQL Server Configuration Manager but i dont know what to do next (and am really confused!)

Can anyone advise me of the steps that i need to take to get the data out of the .bak file?

I would be VERY greateful of any assistance.

Thanks in advance,
Rebecca.
