Excel Connection Manager Expression Editor - Variable Problem
Oct 4, 2006
Hi,
I have a data flow task within a foreach file loop. My problem occurs when I tried to make up an expression for the connection string of the Excel connection manager. Somehow I can see only system variables and none of the variables which I set up within the scope of the foreach file loop.
Can anyone provide me any insight into this mystery? As far as I can see, all the variables I created in the foreach file loop are still showing on the variable windows (without the Show All Variable button clicked).
Thank you very much and hope to hear from someone soon!
Regards,
Hsiao

Is it possible to use a property, say name, of an object ( say the connection object) in the "Property Expression" of that object? I would like to modify the Connection String property of a flat file connection manager to append date to it. To do this I need to be able to use the Name property of the connection manager in the Property Expression editor. How ever I get an error that it does not recognize name, it almost seems to suggest I can only use variables. I find it hard to believe since it seems like common requirement to be able to use properties of an object (connection manager) in modifying other properties of the object. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I do not know the Excel file name to load in design time.
Would like to pass the value to a variable in the package in run time?
How to do this?
Thanks,

I have deployed my packages into Sql Server and I am using Configuration File. As my Data Source is Excel, I have changed the connection string during deployment with Server Path. But I am getting the following errors. Actually the File Exist in Path. May I know What is cause of the issue? Do I need to give any permission to execute the package.
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.

I have a flat file that I'm trying to bring in. I've mapped all the columns, and the first record comes out perfect. The problem is that its not recognizing end of line. When I preview it line one looks great, but line two has two square boxes before the actual next record begins and those boxes move over into the next column on the next record and so forth. The Format is Fixed Width, I have no text qualifier, header row delimeter is set to default {CR}-{LF}, and we're starting on row 2 as row 1 is garbage. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Parag

The Import wizard was used to create a package. The package simply reads a flat file and writes the columns to a SQL table. The package was added to and opened in an SSIS project. I would like to make several iterations of changing the flat file columns and their names. Most commonly the wizard would be run with the column names defaulted to [Column 0],[Column 1] ... Later the name will changed when the proper name is known.
I have been able to change the name of a column, but don't know how to synchronize the SQL table creation and the column mappings. Help please.

Hello everyone
I'm very new to SSIS and seemed to have stumbled into an expected problem. I'm working on a package that was converted from a DTS package and I have a problem with the Flat File Connection manager. I want to change the file name in my connection, but I do not seem to be able to save the change. After clicking "OK" to save the name change I can then save the package, close BIDS, open everything up again and for some reason the "old" filename is still present in the connection. Note that the "new" file has exactly the same layout as the "old" file, just a different name. And I can oreview the data without any difficulty.
Any ideas on this one...?
Thanks, John

Hello everyone:
I am new with SSIS and I have a problem that I don€™t know solving it.
I have a simple package with a delimited flat file source which is loaded into a table in a SQL Server database.
Below is the import format:
- Row delimiter: carriage return and line feed {CR/LF}
- Column delimiter: Comma {,}
- Text qualifier: €œ
In the source file, the data looks like this:
€œstring1 €?, 34, €œ€?, , ,€? string2 €œtext1€? string2€? , €œ €œ,
This package with DTS works, but now with SSIS does not, when I see the €œprevious rows€? in the Flat File Connection Manager Editor, the last column has incorrect information and when I create a new file without spaces and without twice €œ€? in the same string, it works. I don€™t know what I am missing with SSIS.
Regards,
Fanny Tejera

Dear fellows,
I know that I think as sql2k programmer-dba yet but I can€™t avoid.
I€™ve got Flat File Connection Manager Editor dragged with a text file as €˜ragged right€™ format and CRLF as header row limiter. When from properties page and Columns option I€™m going to alter just a few colums I am not be able.
It seems that you must erase all of them in order to define one or two. And in the case you€™d have 50????
When I ran sql2k DTS designer did that without problems, alter columns again and again.
As far as I know it€™s a lose of flexibility, or not? Or is there any way for do that without deleting nothing else?

Hi,
I am working on SQL Server 2005 (x64) with Windows Server 2003 (x64) operating system. I am having a major issue in SSIS. Here is the detailed explanation of the issue :
I have an EXCEL file in 2003 / 2007 version. It contains some data. I want to import the data using SSIS into SQL Server 2005 (x64) database table. I have taken "EXCEL FILE SOURCE" and "SQL Server DESTINATION". It was failed on importing data. Surprisingly it works fine in SQL Server 2005 (x32). Can you please explain why it is NOT woking on (x64) ?
Here is the error code i am getting:
[Excel Source [1]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
Appreciate your time and patience !!
Thanks

Hi,
Is there a way of uploading column definitions from the Flat File Connection Manager into a SQL Server table definition. Since I have over a dozen data sources to process each with around 200 columns and of course like many BI techies I have little immediate influence over the structure of these flat files. I just know that these data sources are business critical.
Judging by looking at similar threads I can't be the only one who would greatly benefit from being able to upload column definitions from the Flat File Connection Manager into a SQL Server table definition as opposed to doing this manually.
Thanks in advance,
Kieran.

I have a table which contains a column ([Connection String]) that has every connection string for the SQL instances on our estate.
I have a package which will import data from a single instance, but how do I set the connection manager so that it uses a variable and is populated by a selecting the connection strings from my central database?
Do I use a cursor to select the next connection string?

Within an SSIS Package, we are trying to change the connection string of an output file connection manager at runtime (used for package logging).
To do this, we have defined variables with package-level scope and set the connection manager connection string to this variable. The first step of the package is to set these variables. The second step begins the rest of the package operations (moving data). The package executes successfully, but the log file is never created/appended to.
When the package is debugged, I can verify that the variables are being set correctly in the script task and that the variable values are being passed to the connection manager data sources.
Any ideas why this isn€™t working?

Hello,
I have a question regarding which expressions need to be set to have the excel connection manager be able to create/update a file dynamically. I'm reading a path in from a database and storing it in a variable. The path is just the location of an excel file. What I would like to have happen is that the excel connection manager be dynamic so that if I wanted to change where this file went or the name I could simply change the value in the database.
I've tried setting the expressions, in the Excel connection Manager: ConnectionString,ExcelFilePath, and Servername to the variable \pathfolderfile.xls with no luck. The ConnectionString seems to be a little funny because it contains Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source = ; Extended Properties =; HDR=YES", so I don't know if I can just use that expression and ignore the others or what.
Any help would appreciated,
Phil

So from the message I'm assuming that somewhere in the package configuration its missing the path to be able to find the Excel spreadsheet in question. But when opening up the package configuration I can't see anything immediately wrong. For the path of the spreadsheet location I've used the full UNC path instead of any mapped drive locations I've being guilty of using in the past. Below is the Excel Connection Manager section of my configuration file:
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[Excel Connection Manager].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">

</Configuration>
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[Excel Connection Manager].Properties[UserName]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>
</ConfiguredValue>
I've checked the rest of the configuration file and wherever something needs a username and password, they are entered correctly. I've also made sure that the account I'm logged onto our server and running the package under can access the excel file in question with no issues.
What is abit strange is that I have another package that runs in a similar way and also uses an Excel Connection Manager but from a different folder in the same area and that runs fine. I've tried to compare the 2 sets of connection managers to see if I can spot the difference but I've been unable to so far. Al that I can see that is different is the folder winningproject somtimes being in lowercase and then sometimes having capitals, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
I'm hoping a fresh pair of eyes will be able to spot something obvious that I've missed!! Below is the Excel Connection Manager section of the configuration file I have that works fine.:
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[Excel Connection Manager].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">

Hi,
I am testing SSIS and have created a Flat File Destination. I defined the Flat File Connection as New for the first time and it worked fine. Now, I would like to go back and modify the Flat File Connection in the Flat File Destination Editor, but it allows only to create a New connection rather allowing me to edit the existing one. For testing, I can go back and create a new connection, but if my connection had 50-100 columns then it would be an issue to re-create it from scratch.
Did someone else faced this issue?
Thanks,
AQ

I am following the samples in the online books. I've got an OLEDB connection manager and source component defined. I now want to create an Excel connection manager and destination component (see below). How can I do this?
Dim conMgr As ConnectionManager = package.Connections.Add("OLEDB")
conMgr.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" "Data Source=FLL-EIS;Initial Catalog=DataLoad;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI;"
conMgr.Name = "SSIS Connection Manager for OLE DB"
conMgr.Description = "OLE DB connection to FLL-EIS."
' Create and configure an OLE DB source component.
Dim source As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New
source.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.OleDbSource"
' Create the design-time instance of the source.
Dim srcDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = source.Instantiate
srcDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()
' Assign the connection manager.
source.RuntimeConnectionCollection(0).ConnectionManager = _
DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(conMgr)
' Set the custom properties of the source.
srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("AccessMode", 2)
srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("SqlCommand", Dts.Variables("User::gsQuery").Value.ToString)
' Connect to the data source,
' and then update the metadata for the source.
srcDesignTime.AcquireConnections(Nothing)
srcDesignTime.ReinitializeMetaData()
srcDesignTime.ReleaseConnections()
' Create and configure an OLE DB destination. (This is where I need help, as this code does not work)
Dim destination As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New
destination.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.ExcelDestination"
' Create the design-time instance of the destination.
Dim destDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = destination.Instantiate
' Where can I find documentation about the various ComponentClassIds and Properties???
destDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()
destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("ExcelFilePath", Dts.Variables("User::gsExcelFile").Value.ToString)
destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("TableName", Dts.Variables("User::gsSheetName").Value.ToString)

I have a package that uses a for loop to iterate through an unknown amount of excel files and pull their data into a table. However, there will be cases when the file is corrupted or has some sort of problem so that either the transformation will fail or the excel source will fail.
I have it so that for each iteration if the transform was successful the file is moved to an archive directory, and if it fails the file is moved to a different directory.
But I don't want the package to be marked as failed. For the control flow tasks I have set the individual components to FailPackageonFailure = False, and for the Data Flow tasks I have set ValidateExternalMetadata = False.
It no use to set the MaxErrorCount higher because I can't guarantee how many files will be processed and how many might fail.
Could anyone suggest a clean way to trap these errors? Specifically, the "Cannot Aquire Connection from Connection Manager", which is the excel connection.
Thanks

How to use variables in Connection Manager's properties? I see some replies through Configuration Package. But what if, it is still in development stage? I mean, can I use the Variable tab and create some variables like
User::DBUserNameSource, User::DBPasswordSource,
User::DBuserNameDestination, User::DBPasswordDestination,
Then put them in Password and UserName property of Connection Manager? If this is possible, how and how can I set the values of those variables I mentioned when I am going to deploy the package in the Production?

I'm doing a simple ETL that reads a database table and dumps the content to a text file. The text file will be named Employee.txt. This file name will remain the same across my environments, but I may want to vary the directory location to where I want this file dumped.
So, I defined an environment variable called "DataTargetDir" in all my environments. Now, I want to utilize this variable in the "File name:" box within the Flat File Connection Manager Editor. How do I do this? I'm thinking I can write something like "%DataTargetDir%Employee.txt" in the "File name:" box, but it's not working.
Am I approaching this the right way?

Hi There
I am having some issues with dts packages i have migrated using the package migration wizard.
One of the connection managers points to an execl flat file source.
I have not altered anything after the package migration, the conenction manager is using Native OLE DBMicrosoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
When i test the connection i get the following error :
"Test connection failed becuase of an error in initializing provider. Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by anotehr user."
Ok i am 99% sure this file is not being accessed by another user, the rest of the error is greek to me. Looking on the net for this error it has to do with access database security and having to sertup htm pages for IIS, i cannot findanything on this error relating to ssis connection manager.
PLEASE HELP.
Thanx

Hi,
I'm trying to write a package that imports a bunch of Excel files into a sql server table. My import routine works fine when I do not use a foreach loop container. I then add a Foreach Loop Container with a Foreach File Enumerator and create a variable to store all of the excel file names to use with my excel connection manager in the connection string property.
When I run the debugger I get the following error:
TITLE: Package Validation Error
------------------------------
Package Validation Error
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Error at Import New Data [My Data (Excel) [4234]]: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

Error at Import New Data: There were errors during task validation.
Error at ImportMyData [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D.
(Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)
I've read the varous posts on this forum and others with people having this problem and nothing that was recommended to them works for me. I've also read the Msdn article 'How to:Loop through Excel files and Tables' and followed the directions there without success. I've tried the following with no success:
I've tried to create first a hard coded connection string in the excel conn. manager which works but as soon as I set the experessions: connection string property = my file enumerator variable it breaks.
Turned the Delay Validation to True for the package as well as the task
Set the Connection string equal to not just the variable coming from the file enumerator but to the full connection string : "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + @[User::excel_filename] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=YES";"
I've also tried to set the excel filepath property instead of the connection string and this didn't work either.
I'm getting really frustrated. Any advice on why something so simple doesn't work for me would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
RE. SSIS (v9.00.1399.00) --- FeedFile Excel Connection Manager --- Concurrency Issue
1. I have 15 completely separate SSIS Packages all of which use the FeedFile Excel Connection Manager to read data from completely separate Excel worksheets.
2. When I invoke, say, 5 of these Packages at the same time then one or more (at random) of them fail with the following error message:-
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "FeedFile Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
3. When I invoke the failed Packages again then they succeed.
So, do you know if there is:-
(a) a concurrency issue with the "FeedFile Excel Connection Manager" ?
(b) a read-only option (in the SSIS Package code) which needs to be specified to overcome file contention issues?
Additional Information about the FeedFile Excel Connection Manager:-
Connection String=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:DoesNotNeedToExist.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=NO";
DelayValidation=True
ExcelFilePath= C:DoesNotNeedToExist
RetainSameConnection=False
Note1. The actual Excel filename which is read is generated dynamically at run-time by a Script Task. This is why DelayValidation has been set to: True (Note. The file: "C:DoesNotNeedToExist" does not actually physically exist.)
Note2. We have another SSIS Package which uses the FeedFile FlatFile Connection Manager. When we run this same Package concurrently (i.e. invoke it 5 times, at the same time, with different input files) then all 5 invocations succeed, which is what we would expect.
Thanks.

I have a task that uses an Excel connection manager to read in an Excel file. In the file there are 6 date columns. The date columns can have either a date or the letters NA. If I look at the External Column properties from the advanced tab, 4 of the date columns have a datatype of DT_DATE. The other 2 date columns have a datatype of DT_WSTR. The 4 columns with DT_DATE, my data looks okay as when it is read by the connection manager. The issue is that the 2 columns that are DT_WSTR, all dates are turned into NULLS, while the NA's are just fine. I have tried to change the datatypes in the advanced tab to DT_DATE, but it won't work.
I don't have any idea what to do to get this working correctly. Can anyone PLEASE provide some insight and suggestions or a solution?

I am trying to show an avg for all the numbers in the €˜Type€™ field

I get the error €œInput string was not in a correct format.€?
If I use:
=avg(iif(Fields!Type.Value = "NewlyEnrolled" ORELSE Fields!Type.Value = "Enrolled", nothing, 1))
It works and it returns €˜1€™
so the problem is CDbl(Fields!Type.value). i'm tring to convert it to a number so it can be used in the avg function.
any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I have a requirement wherein I have to setup the flat file connection manager to accept columns on fly. Meaning I want to retrieve list of columns/column count from the database when the package is run and set the connection manager with those many columns.

How can I use a foreach loop container with an Excel connection manager. It is virtually impossible to configure the ConectionString property through expressions builder. Everything works fine with a Flat File connection manager but when it comes to Excel, I get the following error message: Error 1 Validation error. Extract Four: Extract Four [1]: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. Tarification.dtsx 0 0
Please ! Heeeelp ! tel me how I can loop through Excel files !

I've put together a SSIS package that, once a user uploads an Excel spreadsheet from a webpage, grabs it, does a mess of calculations and spits it out into a datareader (this last part is tricky, but I haven't even gotten to this point yet). In BIDS, the package works fine. Run using the 32-bit version of dtexec, it runs fine. But when I try to call it from the page, I keep getting an error. The errors look familiar enough that I'm thinking it's due to the package trying to run 64-bit, and that not playing nicely with Excel. If that's true, is there an easy way to force the 32-but version to be used? I've already set the project properties to Run64BitRuntime = false, which I'd hoped would help. but no luck.
Here's the code I'm using:
Code Snippet
string pkg = @"pathpackage.dtsx";
Application app = new Application();
Package p = app.LoadPackage(p, null);
Variable varFileName = p.Variables["strExcelFileName"];
varFileName.Vaue = strFileName;
Variable varFilePath = p.Variables["strExcelFilePath"];
varFilePath.Value = strFilePath;
DTSExecResult dte = p.Execute();
Error handling
p.Dispose();
And it kicks out the following:

I have excel files where the column headers I care about are on line 5, and the actual data doesn't begin until line 6. Other than deleting the first 4 lines, which is impractical, how can I get the Excel Connection Manager to import the data correctly? I was able to do this under DTS, so I have to imagine it's possible.
Thanks!
