How Do We Connect SMO Connection Manager Thru Variables?
Sep 6, 2007
I have no issues connecting OLE DB manager with variables (basically i am passing source and destination) but i have issues to connect SMO Connection Manager
I tried to pass the variable into SqlServerName on SMO connectin properties..no luck... tried on control flow item (Transfer SQL server Objects Task) with sourceconnection and Soruce db .. no luck.
I am trying to transfer objects from one server to another server but I'll pass source and destination server names dynamically thru variables..
I'll spare everyone my diatribe about MS and Booksonline...
I considered myself pretty good at Server 2000 DTS. It certainly has it's shortcomings, but there are a couple books on the market that helped a lot.
I'm now trying to learn Integration Services, and not getting very far. There are two books out so far. one is poor, the other worthless.
What I want to do seems very simple. That is to loop through a series of .txt files, and extract the information into a three table database. So far, I'm unable to figure out how to use a variable in the ConnectionString property of a connection manager. I see how to use variables in scripts (I should hope so) but using the same syntax in properties either errors at design time or run time.
Do I have to do everything in VB just as in DTS? Or do the new objects really work in a usuable fashion?
Color me frustrated. Any help will be appreciated.
As I was developing my SSIS package, I created several variables and tasks ( FTP, WMI Reader Task ). I am now cleaning up, deleting unwanted variables and connections in the design window. I save and build the package and when I load the package, I get warnings that these variables are referenced but can't find them and errors that the WMI connection is not found.
When a package calls a sub-package, it stores the absolute path of the child package in its dtsx xml file in a Connection String property. How annoying !!! . When I deploy this to another machine with a different file structure, it becomes a problem. Why can't it store the path relative to the parent package, which would be typically in a sub-directory under the parent ?
These last 2 days have been nothing but frustration and my deadline is slipping. Any help is appreciated.
How do you setup a conntection in ssis to connect to an access mdb? I have used DTS to upload access tables to sql and want to do the same in the new ssis services. I migrated the DTS package but the connection in created for the access mdb does not work in ssis and is shown to be be illegal. The migration did not post any errors when it migrated the package.
i am trying to consume an webservice which under secure layer (HTTPS)
eg: https://test.com/test.asmx

can anyone provide me solution to over come this problem
I am using SSIS 2005 on Windows 2003 server. Using Excel Source to dump the data for staging database. I am getting following error while I execute it through BI studio's execute button.
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 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.
I have an SSIS package that I need to modify. It was developed in Visual Studio 2005 and runs faithfully in production on SQL Server 2005. Suddenly, I can't open the package on my own workstation. I see a big red "X" image and a message stating "Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document." The real reason the document can't be loaded appears to be:
Error loading DataWarehouseLoader.dtsx: The connection type "OLEDB" specified for connection manager "Warehouse Logging OLE DB" is not recognized as a valid connection manager type. This error is returned when an attempt is made to create a connection manager for an unknown connection type. Check the spelling in the connection type name.
Does anyone know what causes this and what I can do? The package has been in production for 9 months and I've never seen this problem before.
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 data source will fail with an oledb connection error. Could anyone suggest a clean way to trap these errors? Specifically, the "Cannot Aquire Connection from Connection Manager", which is the excel connection.
I use SQL Server 2012 and visual studio 2010.I created SSIS Project with task "Execute Package". Control flow view as: Package1 (execute package) -> Package2 (data flow).Data flow in Package2 view as: ADO.NET source -> ADO.NET destination.
When I started Package2, it's work. I havn't errors.But when I started Package 1 I have error "Unable to get managed connection from the Connection Manager runtime". In execution log I see that ADO.NET source produced this error on verification stage. Package failed on verification stage, not on execution stage.Why when I started Package 2 it work, but when I started Package1 (and Package1 started Package2) it failed?
Hi All, I am getting the following error if I am using the package "Transaction Option=Required" while running through Sql Job: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "<connection name>" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
while I running the SSIS package on BI environment, I am getting the following error: [Connection manager "<connection name>"] Error: The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D00A "Unable to enlist in the transaction.".
I know the alternative solution is to make the "Transaction Option=Supported", but in my case I have run the whole flow in a single transaction. I came to know that this has been fixed in the service pack1(ref. to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914375). FYI.. some time it was running successful.
I have taken all the necessary step to run the SSIS package in a distributed transaction(like the steps for MSDTC) and also created the package flow in a sequence.
I was going through the link - http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=160340&SiteID=1 but all those didn't solve my problem.
If anyone can help me it will be great. or it is a bug in SSIS?
Problem: ColA (Source) Rounding error to PARTY_NO (Destination) I have a field of text of in a flat file that the flat file connection manager Source picks up correctly €œ70000893€? However when it gets the OLE DB Connection Destination the data has changed to 70000896. That€™s before its even Written to the database. The only clue that something is wrong in the middle is the great Data viewer shows the number as 7.000009E+07 Other clues looking at the data it appears there is a rounding error on only the number that dont end in 00 ColA (Source) PARTY_NO (Destination) 71167300 71167296 70329000 70329000 70410000 70410000 Any ideas people? Thanks in advance Dave
hi all, i got the error, when i run my package after deploy into the server machine; i can able to run that package in my local machine, if i deploy it to the server or some remote machine, its not running, and rises error messages, that says cant accquire connection from the connection manager;
the problem might be with the login name and password; i could not see any password in any of my config file, or connection manager while running the package. how to resolve this problem?? please help me!
I have a child package where the ConnectionString property of a Connection Manager is set by a Parent Package Variable Configuration. I set up a script task that brings up a message box with the value of the ConnectionString property right before the dataflow task.
MessageBox.Show(Dts.Connections["CPU_*"].ConnectionString.ToString());When I run the parent package, the message box shows that the connection string is changing with every iteration, but in the dataflow it always draws the data from the same source.
The connection manager is an ADO.Net type, RetainSameConnection is set to False, and I've been researching this for days.
(Update 2/23/2015): To make this stranger, when I look at the diagnostic logs, they tell me that when the new connections are being opened they are using the new connection strings.
I've created a SSIS Solution and have created Data Sources. I have two packages. One was created before the Data Sources, and one was created after. The package that was created after is using connections from the Data Sources. I want to change the package before the Data Soruces were created to use them, but when I right click in the Connection Managers pane "New Connection From Data Source.." is not an option.
This is the first time I have used SSIS, so please bear with the ignorance.
I have a super simple package that inserts x000's of rows into a temporary table. The data source is a file that the user will upload. I need to be able to tell the package what file to upload. I'm thinking the simplest thing would be to edit the connectionString property of the SourceConnectionFlatFile at runtime. Is this possible? What form should the file path be in (UNC, other)? And, are there any other considerations I should be aware of?
The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed. java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect" whenever i try to connect to the remote DB which is present at a different system.
Is there a way by which we can make the Connection in the connection manager retry for a certain amount of time?
I have a DataFlow Task which uses a OLE Source which is connected to a database. there are time when the connection to the database is not available due to some transport level error. so i wanted the connection manger to make a couple of tries before giving up and saying that it was not able to connect and it timed out..
i have the Connect TimeOut and the General Timeout properties set to 0, but is there a way to retry?
My source files are in C:Process folder. File names are in the format proc*.csv
I am using foreach loop container to iterate over the files in folder "C:Process"
I have a user variable "filename"
The order of my tasks
ForEach - Data Flow task - File System Task
In Data Flow task, I have ole db source which should take the dynamic filename from user variable "filename". whats happening is when i give fixed filename, without foreach loop container the package is working fine.
with dynamic filename, I am not able to run the package because of ole db source Error - cannot aquire connection from connection manager.
Dts.Connections.Item("myADO.NET connection").AcquireConnection(Nothing)Dim conn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(Dts.Connections.Item("myADO.NET connection").ConnectionString) conn.Open()
This seems silly, in that I'm not really using the same connection, but using the connection string of a connection that already exists. And, for my purposes, it's not working currently, because I've switched from Windows Authentication to SQL Auth... and the password isn't coming over in the ConnectionString property.How do I re-use the exact same ADO.NET connection I have in my connection manager in a script task? That's the recommended way to go, right?
I have deleted one of my file connection from Connection Manager (and
Executed ProcessTask which used it), however
trying to load the package I always get the error:
"Error loading MyPackage.dtsx: The connection "MyDeletedConnectionName" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found."
I tried to Clean, Rebulid my project, but it doesn't help.
Does anybody know, how to solve it? Where this reference is saved?
Please HELP ME!!! I have a server that is behind a firewall that I can not connect to through Enterprise Manager. However, I can connect to it through Query Analyzer. I am using TCP/IP. The credentials are fine, but the firewall is complaining. The firewall team has told me that the port is fine and that I should be able to connect. Is there a different port that Enterprise Manager uses along with 1433? I am told the answer is no, but I can't think of any other possibilities.
Can anyone tell me how Enterprise Manager connects to SQL Server? Does the Client Network Utility affect it? I can ping the servers with SQL on them, but I get timeouts and 'Connection Broken' in EM. Query Analyzer works sometimes and sometimes doesn't.
I am trying to solve this problem for the past 1.5 weeks and it is driving me crazy :(
I can't connect to my SQL database using Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer, Visual Studio 2003 .NET or a .aspx that I created for testing.. it runs perfectly on my domain but it doesnt work on my computer, on the browser I get this message: SQL Server unavailable or access denied. It is the same message I get when I try connecting to my db using EM, QA, VS.NET etc :(
I can ping my sql domain, so I know I have access to it and it is working.. I can successfully connect to my personal SQL server running on my machine. (SQL Server Personal Edition running on Windows XP )
I tried doing everything I could,
I already selected TCP/IP as my client only protocol; I tried installing the lastest MDAC (v 2.8); I tried every other port on my TCP/IP client setup like 14333 or 11433 or 11143 etc; I tried every other port on the alias I set for my sql address; I tried downloading the evaluation version of MS SQL2000 and updating it to SP3; I tried reinstalling several times my MS SQL2000 (I use the personal edition on my windows XP) and updating it to SP3; I tried connecting to my sql address domain and directly to its IP; And I tried a lot more resolutions that I can't remember right now, but it didn't work :(
I've been searching all forums/google etc looking for someone with my problem but I still didnt, everyone who had a problem connecting to their DB using EM or QA resolved it by doing "this or that", I did exactly the same "this or that" on my computer/config and it didn't resolve my problem. :(
What am I doing wrong? I can't connect to my database from my personal computer :(
I have never used enterprise manager before, so I don't know if it is a problem on my personal computer or on my sql server address on internet.. Is there anyway to find a free test ms sql database with like 1mb just to try and find out if I can connect to a sql database at all using EM or if the problem is here on my computer?
I cannot seem to connect to this Instance locally which was i able toin the past. I can connect to the instance from out side. The instanceis running and the DBs in the instance are available and usedsuccessfully by the applications but i cannot connect to the instanceusing the enterprise manager.the error i get isSQL Server does not exist or access deniedrubeel
I am attempting to connect to a remote default instance of SQL Server2k on Win2k using Enterprise Manager from my local host but receive a"SQL Server registration failed, timeout expired" error message eachtime.I am able to connect using Query Analyzer when specifying the IPaddress of the server (I am also specifying the IP address in myEnterprise Manager connection), am able to ping the server from thecommand line, and am able to telnet to port 1433. I have triedconnecting both before and after creating an appropriate alias inClient Network Utilities all to no avail.I ran SQL Profiler while attempting to connect and do not see theconnection attempt reach the server. What could be preventingEnterprise Manager from reaching/connecting to the server while allother utilities (including profiler) are fine?Thanks in advance.
Hi. I'm (very) new to SQL Server. I have run into what seems to be a very common problem, judging by the number of Google hits, but it's not actually in the FAQs here, as far as I can see.
Situation I installed SQL Server Express with Advanced Services 2005 on my Windows XP Pro laptop, using (with one exception) the default install. The exception was to put the data files on a separate partition (D: ) where I have more free space.
SQL Server Management Studio Express connects happily, and I set up a single data import table.
Issue: bcp Fails to connect to default local instance I initially tried bcp in output mode, prior to working in earnest on importing my data. However the command line-
bcp MyDatabaseName.dbo.UserProfile out UserProfile.txt -T -c
Fails with the error-
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
As I understand it, the local instance of SSE is the default, and should use a local (shared memory?) connection. This seems to work for Management Studion Express, but not bcp.
While investigating this problem, I tried enabling remote connections (all types) through the Surface Area Configuration wizard, and found that remote connections using either of:
bcp eSpacePh1.dbo.UserProfile out UserProfile.txt -T -c -S localhostsqlexpress bcp eSpacePh1.dbo.UserProfile out UserProfile.txt -T -c -S mycomputernamesqlexpress
both work ok.
Extra Info When starting Management Studio Express, it says something like "Configuring environment for the first time". However it says this every time it is started, not just the first run after installation, does this indicate some configuration data is not being successfully stored?
I have found threads that look similar to my issue-
However these do not relate directly to bcp, and to be honest my knowledge of SSE is slender enough at this stage that i'm unsure if there are really relevant.
