Execute Package Utility / Set Values / How To Set Property Path And Values
Feb 4, 2008
Hi
I have one problem in SSIS for passing Variable Values while executing Package. I'm giving in details as below:
I opened Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
Made Connection to Integration Services
To Execute Package I Right Clicked and Click on Run Package
Then I Clicked on Execute and package was executed successfully.
Problem is that if I try to Set Values then Package through Error
DTExec: Could not set ProcessMode value to M.
Basically I could not understand in which format I should pass the Variables.
What I tried is listed below:
ProcessMode;M
Package.Variables[User:rocessMode].Value;M
Package.Variables[ProcessMode].Value;M
But every time I got errors.
And then I tried from Command Line
DTEXEC /DTS "MSDBLoad_Order" /SERVER SERVERNAME /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING V /SET Package.Variables[ProcessMode].Value;M
First time Process run successfully. And it has changed the ProcessMode to M also. But after that it was also not changing the ProcessMode Value to M.
Please help in regarding. I tried a lot from Site examples also, but could not get proper solution.
using custom tasks. My properties got saved properly the first time the task is added to the workspace. After that, changing values in the CustomUI updates the properties, but the package shows, that It doesn't need to get saved. So my properties don't get changed in the package XML. Moving my custom task on the workspace after changing properties, let the package go into "save me" state and my propertiy values get saved to XML.
So now, Im searching for a method or property I have to call or set to show the package it needs to get saved after closing my CustomUI.
Any hint?
Thanks
PS: When I change the property value in the task properties grid (lower right). The package gets notified about the need to get saved.
I have a very odd problem. I have a package which uses some custom tasks that were written in C#. When the package is deployed to our production server, *some* of the property values for *some* of the tasks are cleared. For example, I have these five tasks:
All of them inherit (of course) from Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Task. All of them have custom members (some similar, some different), and of course, different implementation (though they are mostly the same). This test package has one instance of each of the different tasks.
As I said above, when we deploy to our production server, *some* of the property values for *some* of the tasks are cleared -- but when deployed to our dev server, everything remains intact.
Here is what is cleared:
- On 4 of the 5 tasks, the Description property (inherited by Task) is cleared, but the other one remained intact - On 3 of the 5 tasks, the Connection property (custom property in all tasks) is cleared, but the other two remained intact - 3 of the tasks have other string properties that were set, and all of these were cleared
We can reproduce this on two different production servers, and these two servers have some different configurations, suggesting these would not be the culprit:
- They have different service packs (one is build 2047, the other build 3042) - One has the custom SSIS components installed (in the GAC), the other one does not
Our development server, where the package is deployed as expected, has build 2047 w/ the components installed.
Here are the packages, where you can compare and see the differences (using a text comparison tool):
Dev-GOOD.xml Prod-BAD.dtsx
These were created after being deployed by importing within a Visual Studio SSIS project from the server.
Any suggestions would be *greatly* appreciated, as we are totally stumped as to why this is happening.
EDIT: Additional clues, this package is deployed to the MSDB. If it's deployed to the File System, it remains unmodified.
My SSIS package carries out one data flow task after another e.g.
truncate tables
Copy table 1
cleanup tables
When using the execute package utility in SSMS to run the package , the data flow tasks are listed alphabetically, so it reads:
cleanup tables
Copy table 1
truncate tables
Can I change this so the data flow tasks are listed in the logical order I have specified them in the package as it makes it difficult to work out which step the package is at. And while I'm at it, it keeps telling me every separate task's elapsed time is zero when it's finished. It records the start and end time ok, but it can't seem to work out the elapsed time?!
I created a package within BIDS which tests successful. However when saved into MSDB and I execute the package, the package completes without any issues however doesn't work.
All the package is doing is a simple backup and copy operation but fails without any errors within the Execute Package Utility.
I'm a SQL Server 2000 user trying to get my head around v2005, in particular the changes from DTS to Integration Services.
I've build a few packages in BIDS and they work fine there, but saving them to either the file system or MSDB locations and running them in Management Studio results in:
Execute Package Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If I click on the debug button, I get this:
An unhandled exception ('System.IO.FileNotFoundException') occurred in DTExecUI.exe [404].
I've searched the Internet and found a few people who has also experienced this, but not received any answers.
Is there a kind guru out there with some idea of what is going on? Preferably something that doesn't involve re-installing, because the database has already been configured for our Blackberry users and I can't re-do it now.
I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.
I have a Package and a DataFlow Task. The Package has TransactionOption=Required. The DataFlow Task has an OLE DB Source and an OLE DB Destination. The DataFlow Task has TransactionOption=Supported. The package executes on a Workstation and DataSources for the OLE DB Source and the OLE DB Destination are on a Server.
After the package had been launched an error message showed:
[OLE DB Destination [43]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "DWH_Destination" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed. [DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "OLE DB Destination" (43) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C.
[Connection manager "DWH_Destination"] Error: The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D024 "The transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions.". [Connection manager "DWH_Destination"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8004D024.
If I set TransactionOption=NotSupported in the DataFlow Task then the package executes successful.
I may be looking too hard for this but I can't find a way around it.
I have an Expression and in that expression, I want to access a property on the same object (it would be great to get the properties of other objects as well).
Example: I have a flat file connection where I defined the name of the flat file in my ConnectionString. I also have a variable that I have it linked to my dtsConfig which points to the proper folder name at run time.
How can I create an expression similar to this:
@[User::strFolder] + @[Connectionstring]
where @[User::strFolder] is my variable and points to the correct folder for the given server the package is running on and @[Conenctionstring] is my made up name to access the VALUE of the Connectionstring that I have for this flat file.
So if I have the following:
in my connectionstring property: flatfile.txt
in my strFolder derived from dtsConfig at runtime: E:etl_data
I would like my final connectionstring to look as follow:
E:etl_dataflatfile.txt
So far I know I can do it with two variables but it would be great if I could reuse the property values of the current object for my expressions or any other object.
Perhaps this value is available thru the script where I can access "any" property in my dtsx and store it into another variable and then use it. This option at least allows me to reuse code instead of hardcoding table name (connectionstring) into my variables.
Did I make this too difficult and there is a simple way to access an object's property inside the expression builder?
I'd like to be able to hold onto lineageIDs in a list in the custom property of an output object. I found that I can really only easily use an array which is fine but now that I have coded it I cannot set any of the array values programatically. I can't even initialize the array the way I want it. I also cannot change the value in the debugger, it just pops back to zero. Am I missing something? Here's how I'm trying to do it:
IDTSCustomProperty90 linIDsProperty = output.CustomPropertyCollection.New(); linIDsProperty.Name = "KeyColumnLineageIDs"; linIDsProperty.Value = new int[MAX_KEY_COLS]; for (int i = 0; i < ((int[])linIDsProperty.Value).Length; ++i) ((int[])linIDsProperty.Value)[i] = -1;
(please ignore the \ around the [i], the forum changes [i] into for some reason)
I developed a report with some values in textboxes. I want the output not to wrap around to the next line but to be truncated if it is more that the size of the textbox. Is there any setting that i can do b/c values are going to the second line when their size is more like printing name and last name will cause last name to go to the second line ?
I have a task I wrote which does not always update the property value (as seen in the properties pane) Basically, change something on the form, then update the task host property with: this.taskHostValue.Properties["Duration"].SetValue(this.taskHostValue, Convert.ToInt32(spnDuration.Value));
Stepping through this, it does exactly what it is supposed to. Having a look at the property value, it confirms it has changed. Reopening the UI and resetting all the controls returns the expected results.
The package however does not realise it has changed. There is no * next to the package name in the top tabs. As long as the package thinks it is unchanged, SaveXML does not get called either so the tasks do not persist.
Changing the value on the properties pane works fine though.
The frustrating thing is this is slightly random. Slight in the sense that sometimes it works but most of the time it does not.
The sample code I used was the MS download IncrementTask (Which works BTW) so I can't see it as being a VS / SSIS bug but rather something I am / am not doing. 3 tasks I have written all behave the same. I have to "nudge" them before savign the package.
We are setting up a job for the SQL Server Agent via SSMS. The Job Step Type is SSIS.
In the Job Step Properties window, on the Set values tab, you can enter Values to override your package variables - normally all well and good.
However in this particular case, the variable Value contains semicolons ( - it is a Connection String for an ODBC driver. Eg: Driver={Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)};system=MYSERVER;...
The behaviour for this Value is weird:
If the Value is not surrounded with double quotes ("), the job fails with "The command line parameters are invalid." If the Value is surrounded with double quotes ("), the job will run as intended. The catch is: that entry and any subsequent "Set Values" entries disappear next time the Job Step Properties window is opened.
This looks like a bug with the parsing of those strings by the Job Step Properties window?
How to count the number of values that exist in a row based on the values from an array of numbers. Basically the the array of numbers I want to look for are in row 1 of table [test 1] and I want to search for them and count the "out of" in table [test 2]. Excuse me for not using the easiest way to convey my question below. I guess in short I have 10 numbers and like to find how many of those numbers exist in each row. short example:
I am trying to think my way through a solution which I believe others have probably come across... I am trying to implement a matching routine wherein I need to match an address against a high value and a low value (or, for that matter an input date vs. a start and end date) to return the desired row ... i.e. if I were to use a straight vb program I would just use the following lookup:
" WHERE zip_code = @zip_code AND addr_prim_lo <= @street_number AND addr_prim_hi >= @street_number " & _
" AND addr_prim_oe = @addr_prim_oe AND street_pre = @street_pre AND street_name = @street_name " & _
" AND street_suff = @street_suff AND street_post = @street_post " & _
" AND (expiry_date = '' OR expiry_date = '00000000' OR expiry_date > @expiry_date)" & _
" GROUP BY fire_ID, police_ID, fire_opt_in_out, police_opt_in_out"
My question, then, is how would you perform this type of query using a lookup / merge join or script? I have not found a way to implement a way to set the input columns? I can set the straight matches without a problem, i.e. lookup zip code = input zip code, but can't think of the correct way to set comparisons, i.e. lookup value 1 <= input value AND lookup value 2 >= input value
I have a DTSX package which reads values from a fixed-length text file using a data reader and writes some of the column values from the file to an Oracle table. We have used this DTSX several times without incident but recently the process started inserting NULL values for some of the columns when there was a valid value in the source file. If we extract some of the rows from the source file into a smaller file (i.e 10 rows which incorrectly returned NULLs) and run them through the same package they write the correct values to the table, but running the complete file again results in the NULL values error. As well, if we rerun the same file multiple times the incidence of NULL values varies slightly and does not always seem to impact the same rows. I tried outputting data to a log file to see if I can determine what happens and no error messages are returned but it seems to be the case that the NULL values occur after pulling in the data via a Data Reader. Has anyone seen anything like this before or does anyone have a suggestion on how to try and get some additional debugging information around this error?
I am working with a data set containing several years' of monetary values. I have entries for past dates and the associated values, and I also have entries for future dates. I need to populate the values of the future date records with the values from the same date the previous year. Is there any way this can be done in Power Pivot?
I have to use the above comma separated values into a SQL Search query whose datatype is integer. How would i do this Search query in the IN Operator of SQL Server. My query is :
declare @id varchar(50) set @id= '3,4,6,7' set @id=(select replace(@id,'''',''))-- in below select query Id is of Integer datatype select *from ehsservice where id in(@id)
But this query throws following error message:
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '3,4,6,7' to data type int.
I have my stored procedure set to Territory_code IN (@Territory)
, now , how do i enter in more then one value. When i select the multi value check box, it gives me more spaces. But then doesnt recognize the values when i put in more then one. am i doing something wrong?
I receive the input file with some 100 columns and some 20k+ rows and I want to check the incoming input row is existed in the database or not based on 2 key columns. If the row is existed then I need to check all the columns (nearly 100 columns) values in input and the database are equal or not. If both are equal I need to treat them seperately if not there is a seperate logic. How Can I do that check for each row and for each column?
Basically the algorithm is like this, if the input file row is not existed in the database then treat that as new row else if the input row is existed in the database then check all the columns are equal or not. If all the columns are equal then treat that as existing row and do nothing else if some columns are not equal then treat this row seperately.
I found some thing to achieve the above thing. 1. Take the input row and check in the database. 2. If the row is not found in the database then treat it as new row. 3. If row is found in the database then a) Take the source row and prepare a concatenated string for all the columns b) Take the database row and prepare a concatenated string for all the columns c) Find out the hash code for the 2 strings and then compare hash codes for equal.
The disadvantage of this is running a loop 2*m*n times where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns. It should be done 2 times for input file row and database row.
Can anybody suggest a good method to do this?
What does the function "GetHashCode" for InputBuffer in method "Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)" will do? Will it generates hash code based on all the columns values?
I have a situation in SSRS to get the common values between the two columns where the values are sorted comma separated as below.Ex:
ColumnA : abc,cde,efg ColumnB : cde,xyz,abc
the result in
ColumnC : cde,abc
similarly Column A and B will have n number records. I need to right an expression or the Code function to get the required result in ColumnC. I am using SharePoint Lists as Datasource. Cannot write SQL query to achieve this requirement.
I am SSRS user, We have a .net UI from where we want to pass multi select values, but these values are comma separated in the database. how can I write a sql query such that when I select multi values on my UI, the comma separated values are take care of.
Well is there a way to pass the hardcoded values in a package externally like for example if in a file system task i have specified the location for moving my files after processing, this will be a harcoded value how can i pass it externally so i have not to go into the package if in case i have modify it to some other location.
[Flat File Source [212]] Error: The "output column "Column 0" (237)" failed because error code 0xC0209084 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Column 0" (237)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component"
I note under BIDS, Properties tab, that the Flat File is assigned an ID of 212. But is the number (237) and ID or an error value? How can I list all "ID's" used in a package?
I have a script that I use after some amount of data massaging (not shown). I would like to be able to change the
1) denominator value (the value 8 in line 32 of my code) based on how many columns are selected by the where clause:
where left(CapNumber,charindex('_', CapNumber)-1) = 1where capNumber is a value like [1_1], [1_4], [1_6]...[1_9] capNumber can be any values from [1_1]...[14_10] depending upon the specialty value (example: Allergy) and the final number after the equal sign is a number from 1 to 14)
2) I'd like to dynamically determine the series depending upon which values correspond to the specialty and run for each where: left(CapNumber,charindex('_', CapNumber)-1) = n. n is a number between 1 and 14.
3) finally I'd like to dynamically determine the columns in line 31 (4th line from the bottom)
If I do it by hand it's 23 * 14 separate runs to get separate results for each CapNumber series within specialty. The capNumber series is like [1_1], [1_2], [1_3],[1_4], [1_5], [1_6], [1_7], [1_8],[1_9] ... [8_4],[8_7] ... [14_1], [14_2],...[14_10] etc.
Again, the series are usually discontinuous and specific to each specialty.
Here's the portion of the script (it's at the end) that I'm talking about:
--change values in square brackets below for each specialty as needed and change the denom number in the very last query.
if object_id('tempdb..#tempAllergy') is not null drop table #tempAllergy select * into #tempAllergy from dbo.#temp2 T
[Code] ....
If I were to do it manually I'd uncomment each series line in turn and comment the one I just ran.
I need to replace all the "User Friendly Names" with "System Names" in the calculations, i.e., I need "Sales Units" to be replaced with "cSalesUnits", "AUR" replaced with "cAUR", "Comp Sales Units" with "cCompSalesUnits", and "Comp AUR" with "cCompAUR". (It isn't always as easy as removing spaces and added 'c' to the beginning of the string...)
I have created a CTE of all the "Look-up" values, and have tried all kinds of joins, and other functions to achieve this, but so far nothing has quite worked.
How can I accomplish this?
Here is some SQL for set up. There are over 500 formulas that need updating with over 400 different "look up" possibilities, so hard coding something isn't really an option.
