I created a ftp task that uses a variable for the remote path because the file I download changes names every based on the date. So I build up the entire path into a container variable and set the remote path to a variable. then I get an error that the filename does not begin with '/' when the filename that the error references is my variable... I cannot even debug/build my package cause of this error. I cannot find anything online or in BOL. any help would be appriciated. If you need more info to help let me know also.
My variable is set as a string,
exact error:
Error 1 Validation error. Get DailyFiles FTP Task: Variable "DailyFiles" doesn't start with "/". DAILY.dtsx 0 0

I am using the Bulk Insert Task to bulk copy data from a flat file to a SQL Server 2005 table. The flat file contains pipe ( | ) delimited columns and several thousand records which are {CR}{LF} delimited. The file also contains a header record and trailer record, which contain several words but also contains a ( | ) symbol among those words.
E.g.:
HEDR | yadi yadi yada500 | Data Data | More Data | 600460 | Datum | More More | 705550 | Data | Data | 603FOOTR | yadi yadi yada
I need to ignore the header and trailer records and just pickup the proper records. But even though I manually set the First Row property to 2 and the Last Row property to 4, It does not pickup the first true record i.e. the record which begins with 500, and if I set the First Row to 1, it throws me an error citing 'truncation error' or similar. I think it is taking the first record (i.e. header row along with the first row as one, and since there are now more pipes ( | ) the error is thrown)
I've tried setting different values for these properties but to no avail... Any help will be deeply appreciated...
I've been having an error with Script Tasks in SSIS, where the error is every time I use a For Each In Dts.Variables, it always seems to crash. I'm trying to log the variables before I proceed in any other tasks. I'm passing in one value as a ReadOnlyVariables.
Here is the snippet of code:
Dts.Log(String.Format("{0} variables:", Dts.Variables.Count), 0, Nothing) For Each v As Variable In Dts.Variables Dts.Log(String.Format("{0} = {1}", v.Name, v.Value), 0, Nothing) Next
It's very strange because the Dts.Variables.Count gives me the correct number of items that I have passed in, but after I step into the For Each, I get this for Dts.Variables.Item:
In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user. Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Variable
And as soon as I step into the next line, it crashes with this error:
Value does not fall within the expected range. at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSVariables90.GetEnumerator() at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Variables.GetEnumerator() at ScriptTask_932938a13af547149ade0331cf39ecfe.ScriptMain.Main()
My colleagues have tried this snippet of code and it worked fine on their machine, only mine has this error :-(
I tried to do several searches online and they recommended me to: Get the latest SP (I have all the updates now for .net and SQL) Re-register some .dll's such as dts.dll/pipeline/etc Change/toggle the PreCompileBinary Alter the script a little and rebuild.
None of these suggestions have had any success on this error that I'm having. I was wondering if anyone had any insight or had any similar problems as me. Any help would be much appreciated!
I am getting an error message (mentioned below) in the variable mapping of Execute SQL Task in SSIS.
" Error: ForEach Variable Mapping number 9 to variable "User::Value" cannot be applied. "
" Error: The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::Value" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object. "
Pls anyone have a look and give me a solution asap.
I'm working on an SSIS package that uses a vb.net script to grab some XML from a webservice (I'd explain why I'm not using a web service task here, but I'd just get angry), and I wish to then assign the XML string to a package variable which then gets sent along to a DataFlow Task that contains an XML Source that points at said variable. when I copy the XML string into the variable value in the script, if do a quickwatch on the variable (as in Dts.Variable("MyXML").value) it looks as though the new value has been copied to the variable, but when I step out of that task and look at the package explorer the variable is its original value.
I think the problem is that the dataflow XML source has a lock on the variable and so the script task isn't affecting it. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem, or know a workaround?
I have a SQL Task that updates running totals on a record inserted using a Data Flow Task. The package runs without error, but the actual row does not calculate the running totals. I suspect that the inserted record is not committed until the package completes and the SQL Task is seeing the previous record as the current. Here is the code in the SQL Task:
DECLARE @DV INT; SET @DV = (SELECT MAX(DateValue) FROM tblTG); DECLARE @PV INT; SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I've not been successful in passing a SSIS global variable to a declared parameter, but is it possible to do this:
DECLARE @DV INT; SET @DV = ?; DECLARE @PV INT; SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I have almost 50 references to these parameters in the query so a substitution would be helpful.
I created a cursor that moves through a table to retrieve a user's name.When I open this cursor, I create a variable to store the fetched name to use within the BEGIN/END statements to create a login, user, and role.
I'm getting an 'incorrect syntax' error at the variable. For example ..
CREATE LOGIN @NAME WITH PASSWORD 'password'
I've done a bit of research online and found that you cannot use variables to create logins and the like. One person suggested a stored procedure or dynamic SQL, whereas another pointed out that you shouldn't use a stored procedure and dynamic SQL is best.
I get a syntax error when trying to use BEGIN TRY / END TRY in a SQL Server 2005 stored procedure.
I've checked the compatability of the database and its SQL Server 2005 (90). I'm creating the stored procedure in SSMS 2005. Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.
We are having problems with our application that uses SQL Server 2005 in a cluster environment. Sometimes the system stops answering and registers in the log viewer the following error:
This file is generated by Microsoft SQL Server version 9.00.1399.06 upon detection of fatal unexpected error. Please return this file, the query or program that produced the bugcheck, the database and the error log, and any other pertinent information with a Service Request.

I was just debugging a stored procedure visual studio and I was surprised with what I was watching.
I'm running SQL 2005 and visual studio 2005. I have a set of nested try/catch blocks.
It fails on the first try and drops into the catch block just as it should. Within the catch block a dynamic sql statement is created. A try block begins and attempts to exec(@sql). It then drops to the catch block. However, I copy the statement into SQL Management Studio and it runs without error everytime.
Why is it dropping into the catch block? Logically it should just complete executing the statement continue without going into the catch block.
Do I have to reset the raiserror values between try blocks or something?
I've got two Sql Tasks on my dtsx. The first one loads a value into "Proyecto" user variable and the second one executes a variable named "SegundoProceso" which contains from the beginning:
"select Fecha from LogsCargaExcel where Proyecto = " + @[User::Proyecto] +"" As SqlSourceType propety I have "Variable" and inside ResultSet or Parameter Mapping nodes there is nothing.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query ""select Fecha from LogsCargaExcel where Proyecto = " + @[User::Proyecto] +""" failed with the following error: "Cannot use empty object or column names. Use a single space if necessary.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I have an Execute SQL Task (OLE DB Connnection Manager) with a SQL script in it. In this script I use several SQL variables (@my_variable). I would like to assign an IS variable ([User::My_Variable]) to one of my SQL variables on this script. Example:
DECLARE @my_variable int
, <several_others>
SET @my_variable = ?
<do_some_stuff>
Of course, I also set up the parameter mapping.
However, it seems this is not possible. Assigning a variable using a ? only seems to work in simple T-SQL statements.
I have several reasons for wanting to do this:
- the script uses several variables, several times. Not all SQL variables are assigned via IS variables.
- For reading and mainenance purposes, I prefer to pass the variable only once. Otherwise every time the script changes u need to keep track of all questionmarks and their order.
- Passing the variable once also makes it easier to design the script outside IS using Management Studio.
- This script only does preparation for the actual ETL, so I prefer to keep it in one task instead of taking it apart to several consecutive Execute SQL Tasks.
- I prefer to use the OLE DB connection manager because it's a de facto standard here.
Could anyone help me out with the following questions:
- Is the above possible?
- If so, how?
- If not, why not?
- If not, what would be the best way around this problem?
I receive the following error message when I try to use the Bulk Insert Task to load BCP data into a table:
Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 4. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.Bulk load data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 1 (rowno).".
Task failed: Bulk Insert Task
In SSMS I am able to issue the following command and the data loads into a TableName table with no error messages: BULK INSERT TableName FROM 'C:DataDbTableName.bcp' WITH (DATAFILETYPE='widenative');
What configuration is required for the Bulk Insert Task in SSIS to make the data load? BTW - the TableName.bcp file is bulk copy file as bcp widenative data type. The properties of the Bulk Insert Task are the following: DataFileType: DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_WideNative RowTerminator: {CR}{LF}
Any help getting the bcp file to load would be appreciated. Let me know if you require any other information, thanks for all your help. Paul
I'm receiving the below error when trying to implement Execute SQL Task.
"The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION request has no corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION." This error also happens on COMMIT as well and there is a preceding Execute SQL Task with BEGIN TRANSACTION tranname WITH MARK 'tran'
I know I can change the transaction option property from "supported" to "required" however I want to mark the transaction. I was copying the way Import/Export Wizard does it however I'm unable to figure out why it works and why mine doesn't work.
I am trying to achieve a seemingly simple task of assigning datetime value to a user variable at the point my package starts running. How can I do this without using a SQL Script Task? Should I be using a script task for this or is there a simpler way to achieving the same thing?
What I'm trying to do is get an XML query from a database and use the XML to render an excel document. Can this be done using SSIS? Can I actually read a column from a database and store it in a variable and then create an excel spreadsheet with that variable in SSIS? Would this be done in the control flow using the XML task editor?
i need to know how many rows are in a certain table and store this value in a variable in order to process this variable later in the package. of course i can build a data flow task within a row count component but as far as i understand it's necessary to read all data from a data source in order to use the row count component. now the question is if it's possible to use a sql task in the control flow and put a select count(*) statement within the task and then write the result of this select statement into a variable. shouldn't that be much more faster than using a whole dataflow for this problem?
I would like to ask how I can use the variable as the input parameter of web services task.
In microsoft 's document, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187617.aspx, It suggests the for the value, If the Variable check-boxes are selected, select the variables in the list to provide the inputs; otherwise, type the values to use in the inputs. but I cannot find such Variable check-boxes.
It just want to know how I can check the Variable check-boxes.
I am trying to create a simple BI Application for SSIS. In Visual Studio 2005 I just get a Data Flow Task from the toolbar and add it to the project. When I double click it I get the following error:
The task with the name "Data Flow Task" and the creation name "DTS.Pipeline.1" is not registered for use on this computer.
Then when I try to delete it it gives this other error:
Cannot remove the specified item because it was not found in the specified Collection.
I am creating this application in an administrator account in this computer, so I doubt the problem is related to permissions. I am running SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 in WinXP Tablet PC Edition.
Any suggestions why this is happening and how to fix it?
I am tring to figure out how to retrieve the value of a global variable from s SQL task, the value for the Global variable is set in a Active Script Task. Any help is greatly appreciated.
In Execute SQL Task I am having a stmt like : (Select * from Emp where EmpNm=?) also I m passing variable value through Parameter Mapping.
Problem I am facing is that if I remove brakets from both end task is executed successfull but if I but those braket as they are task execution fails. and i need those brakets as it is inside a if statement.
Problem is with parameter passing ,even if i put some value as EmpNm="ABC " with brakets, it runs successfully
I want to set the value for a user defined variable with the script task with the intention of using that value as a condition in both of two Precedence Constraints for the purpose of determine which of two different direction the package will go. The problem is I don't know how to reference the User Defined variable in the Script of a Script task, nor how to alter its value.
I have a variable SYear with the data type Integer and the value 2005.
Connection type is OLE DB, and my sql statement is:
DECLARE @MyYear Int
SET @MyYear = ?
I have set the variable User::Syear as Input with the parameter name=0, there is no result set. I set BypassPrepare both True and False. However, this simple statement does not work. I keep having an error. If I put integer value directly into @MyYear, it is fine. What is wrong in here? Somebody help me!
I need to create a Table using the SQL Task and a Variable as the Table Name
I am getting an Error: "Syntax error or access violation". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
The SQL Statement that I am using is Create Table ? (ColumnA char(5) Null)
I need help with some C# code. I have build a SSIS package with an Execute Process Task. I need to send dynamic variables in to my C# program so I thought it was a good idea to use the StandardInputVariable.
I have looked thru several similar threads with errors like this, but have not found a resolution. I have a SQL Task that runs this query:
Code Snippet select NetRevenue = cast(sum(Base_Price + AL + MI + PO) as dec(10,2)) from Lancelot.DataWhse.dbo.GrossMarginDetail where tran_date_key <= ? + ' 23:59:59' and label_group <> 'X' and not (ar_ship_key in ('S999991','S998101''S998102')) and Document <> 'Cust Bal Debit Memo'
There is a parameter mapping of "User::LastSaturday" of type date. I also have a result set with a result set name of "0" with a variable name of "User::GrossMargin," which is defined as a double in the package. The task has a resultset type of Single row, and at the moment the answer that is returned is 66228637.10.
If I change the package variable to a type of string it of course works, but then I cannot do comparisons against it. I have step by step manually copied this from an existing DTSX, so I am baffled why this isn't working, and I'm ready to throw myself under a truck!
I also tried to bring it in as a string, then convert it in a script task, but I cannot figure out how to reference the input and output variables. I can't seem to find any relevant docs on how to do that...
If anyone has any ideas, I and my sanity would greatly appreciate it.
Using the 'for each' container, I am setting a user variable (type = string) which will hold the source file name and path of files to process and then move to an archive directory.
In the move file task (which is in the for each loop container) I have set the destination to a file connection, and the source to : Issourcepathvariable=True; sourcevariable=user::sourcefilename
BUT
when I run the package, I get the following error : Error at File System Task : "Source Path" is not valid on operation type "move file".
I have tried all sorts of things relating to expressions etc. but cannot get this to work. I am obviousley doing something fundementally wrong...can anyone help me?
