I install add-in and run fine for a while, then all of sudden I could not see Table Analyze tool and data mining tab at my ribbon. I re-run server configuration and re-connect to DMAddinDB (remote server, but I am the administrator), but data mining add-in and table analyzer still not showing at my ribbon.
Then I uninstall DMAddin, re-install it, go through configuration again, but still the tabs are not showing up.
The column names I'm using often have underscores in them. I've noticed that, when writing script in the script component editor, the underscore characters mysteriously dissapear. Is this a known bug? (I can't find any reference to this by Googling)

Is it not possible to execute one package and then design another package? I am executing one package and trying to design another package and just have a grey window in the control tool box that says:
"there are no usable controls in this group. Drag an item onto this text to add it to the toolbar"
Can I only get my controls by dragging when another package is executing? Where do I drag them from?

I has a strange question.My company is using a old system with Win NT 4.0 Server + MS SQL 7.0.The system is busy and handle a lot of SELECTs and INSERTs all the time.Sometimes, some transactions are blocked by some other transactions.For those INSERT transactions, we usually call a stored procedure and passparameters in to do the INSERT, at the end of the INSERT stored procedure,we always check @@ERROR = 0 and retrieve the @@IDENTITY (it is usually theauto number primary key) to confirm the INSERT is success. But the strangethings is, sometimes, @@ERROR is equals to 0 and I can get a value from@@IDENTITY but when I fetch the record by the primary key (the value of@@IDENTITY) it returns nothing!! The record is disappear and the primarykey is skipped! I found that this happens usually when the INSERT executeat the time when some other transactions are blocking. Anyone knows why therecord is disappear while @ERROR = 0 and the stored procedure can returnvalue from @@IDENTITY?? Anyone has such case happen in their server aswell? Please tell me some solutions on how to solve this, thank you x10000000 times.
Hello. I have a parameter with multi value option. When I run the report in Visual studio, The first value in the drop down of this parameter is (Select All). When I check this option it check all the other values for this parameter and when I unCheck this value it uncheck all the ther values for this parameter.
The problem is thet when I'm publishing the report to the server and then open it in IE the (Select All) value does't appear and I only get all the other values.
Did you have any experience that all publications and their related jobs suddenly disappear?
I had a transactional pull replication between two servers, and distributor and subscriber in the same box; publisher was an AA cluster server. The schedule of pulling was once a week.
Last Friday morning everything was working perfectly, but I found all publications and their related jobs disappear around 5pm
I checked with the sysadmin and he said nothing was changed on that period.
Did you have any idea about it?
Did you have any idea that I can prevent this happen again or any alert I can set up to monitor who drop it, when it was dropped and so on?

Creating a SQL Agent job to run a package works just fine. On the Step Properties, Set values tab, I can add variables and the values I want for them, no problem. The job runs just fine. If I want to go edit the values however, they're always gone.
Is there some security setting that hides the variables and their values which is on by default?

Hello,What could possibly cause data in the SQL server database to beremoved, except being deleted manually? We had a couple of situationswhere data in certain records disappeared although the records werestill there. The data is entered and editted through the web interfacein ASP. The web interface is accessed by anyone who has an account inour database.I am more of a web programmer, not a SQL server administrator, so notvery familiar with SQL Server log or error tracking. If you cansuggest any way to track this kind of events (data disappearing), Iwould appreciate it very much.HB Kim
I've just finished me lovely big package.. decided to tidy it up and make it look nice... (when will I ever learn?)
So I selected a few tasks, right clicked and selected "group". Named the group.....
And now all the connectors between the tasks in the group have disappeared.... tried ungrouping.. still not there...
The package still runs fine... the tasks are executed in the right sequence and all that... but the connectors are jut not visible...
If I try to recreate the connector I get an error dialog saying "Cannot create connector. Only one workflow can exist between the same two executeables.". So they must still exist...
It'd be ok to leave it as it is I suppose.. if I didn't now need to modify the precedence constraint on one of the connectors.... and I can't actually select the feckin connector..
Any suggestions? Any way to refresh the display? Have already exited the environment and come back in.. will try rebooting machine now anyway...

anyone has any idea how to make the parameters toolbar to be automatically hidden when the report is first being accessed and subsequently to show the parameters when clicked on the arrows ? I have some users who complained that the parameters list is too long, so they wish to hide it first when accessing the report. I know there's this called rc: Parameters=false but this will permanently hide the toolbar which i don't want.
By the way, i am using sql 2000 reporting services
I have scoured the internet looking for someone who has run into this issue with no such luck! Product: Reporting Services 2005 Analysis Services 2005
Our users use Report Builder as an ad-hoc report tool. Data sources for Report Builder come from Report Servers and Analysis Servers.
I have run into issues where a user will select a source for their report that is based on an AS cube. When they select an attribute (field) from a selected entity in the Report Builder Explorer and drop it on the canvas, all entities except the one the field was selected from disappear.
For example:
A cube has a fact table called "Annual Income" with dimension of employee and demographics. In Report Builder, the entities would be listed in the left hand Report Builder Explorer window as
Annual Income Employee Demographics
If I select attributes from Employee or Annual Income, as usual, you will see the related hierarchies of the remaining entities. However, if I select an attribute from Demographics, then the Annual Income and Employee entities just disappear and all I can see is the Demographics entity and its attributes.
Has anyone run into this and if so, any ideas? This is becoming extremely frustrating. I have deleted and rebuild cubes, individual dimensions, and everything else I can think of.
We have 10+ MSDE 2000 installations on the same network. Each install has a named instance and the machines connect to eachother via VB application. We have a couple SQL 2000 Standard boxes and a SQL 2005 box all running on the same network with no issues. The problem we have recently run into is with a SQL Express box. When the box is on the network OSQL stops finding the MSDE 2000 named instances on the network and only the SQL Express named instance appears in the list. The second the SQL Express box is removed from the network the named instances are visible. I monitored the UDP traffic and suspect there is an issue with the response from SQL Express to OSQL. Can't find any issues for this problem only report I found is if MSDE and Express are on the same machine.

My company is new to MDS. I am trying to set an attritube in an entity to read only so the users can't change the value in that field. When I did that, the whole model disappeared. I thought I had deleted it by accident so I created a test model and tried to do the same. The test model disappeared. This time, before saving the new settings I took a snapshot. After saving I took another snapshot. You can see that the whole model is gone (zz_RN_Permissions_Test). I tried every other coworker with admin rights and nobody shows it on the Models list. The behavior on the Excel add-in is correct. I can't change any values on that column. But I need to keep the models available.
im trying to access data in an excel spreadsheet using excel source component...the excel column is type of general and most of the data is numeric, some string..now, when ii hit the preview button, the string data would show up as NULL and the numeric data are correct...i've changed the excel column to TEXT data type and same result, how can i get the string data from this column?
I have an excel export with numeric values. When the SSIS package writes into the excel it treats all data types as strings and attaches an apostrophe in the beginning. I tried formatting the excel sheet with the number data type and saving it . It doesnt work.
Other strange thing is that when I go into the advanced editor for the excel destination and look into the properties of the external columns all of them have the data type as Unicode String[DT_WSTR] irrespective of what the data type is from the input.The UI allows me to change it to numeric for numeric columns without any error but the value is not saved at all which is very frustrating. I also tried changing it in the xml file of the package, it some how seems to overwrite it after validation. It would be really nice if it threw an error saying that it cannot be changed.
Anyways there seems to be no way of changing the destination data type if it s an existing file and if I create a new excel sheet there is no way of formatting data. Is there any way out?

in the excel file i have exact the same fields that i have in the table excepts the primary key which is an auto increment. When i try to import data, an error that i can't insert nulls into my auto increment column.
I put enable identity insert in the edit options, but still doesnt work.
I have a request to export some table data to excel and the "notes" column (varchar 255) contains multiple lines separated by CR/LF. when I export to excel, the first record with CR/LF messes up the column alignment in excel, throwing off the format from that point on. how can i export to excel so that it preserves these CR/LF. or if not, how can I remove these characters so that excel can handle it?
Until SSMS 2012 I copy and paste grid view with header directly to Excel. Problem starts when I try to copy results from SSMS 2012 because text column copy with some format and spreads around sheet and not in only one cell. What do I have to do how to select text columns and how to copy them to excel. IN SSMS 2008 it all works OK.
Two issues, 1. Even if there is no text entered in the search box of the report viewer header, the next button is clickable and returns the message "the entire report is searched'. Is this a defect in the product?
2. When report is exported to excel, the excel object tries to keep the report formatting to the closest and hence merging the columns in the excel. What is the work around to fix this issue. The end users after exporting to excel would normally do a sort by ascending/descending on required columns and this behaviour is causing an issue.
When I view the report on the web, everything is fine until I exported the report to Excel. Additional column and row without heading appear in the exported Excel report. I have no idea, where do these row and column come from as I don't have these additional row and column in the designer. These additional row and column contain the subtotal.
How do I get rid of these additional row and column?
