I have been trying to get a simple FTP task to work but I seem to be missing something.
I set up the FTP Connection with the FTP Address, username, password and everything. Then I set up the FTP task to send a file and it doesn't want to work. I know that it has something to do with saving the password but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to work.
So, what is the secret to getting this to work??
Hi,
I have successfully used the ftp task for all my packages, and have never had a problem before.
However, when attempting to download files from a new ftp site today, I am getting a "directory not found" error.
My ftp connection manager is set up correctly, and when I test the connection, it succeeds.
I am also able to ftp to the site using Windows Explorer, and view all the files in the outgoing folder.
My remote path is set up as: /outgoing/*.*
This is the error I'm receiving:
[Connection manager "FTP Connection Manager"] Error: Changing current directory to "outgoing". 550 /outgoing: folder not found .
I really don't understand what the problem is here!
Thanks
i have a query which works fine when i run it from Query Analyzer.
when i try to create a DTS script "Exectute SQL Task", then this SQL does not work within that task, and i dont know why:
ALTER TABLE T_DESCRIP COLUMN EYE varchar(3) NOT NULL
It throws and error that says:
"Error Description: Deferred prepare could not be completed. Statement could not be prepared. Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'COLUMN'.
I currently have a simple cdosys email task that has been scheduled to send a simple email from ssis. The email is sent using an activex script in a "SQL 2000 DTS Package Task". When executed manually, the email is sent ok. When scheduled (and run under our SQL agent account), it fails. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is this a permissions issue?
'-- this script seems to cause problems, but only when scheduled --
dim mailer
set mailer = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
dim cdoconfig
const cdoDispositionNotificationTo = "urn:schemas:mailheader:disposition-notification-to"
const cdoReturnReceiptTo = "urn:schemas:mailheader:return-receipt-to"

.Fields.Update
.Subject = "Notification"
.From = "donotreply@test.com"
.TextBody = "TEST"
.Bcc = "someone@test.com"
.Send
end with

Also, since I have several DTS packages that are similar, I'd like to keep these packages in the SQL 2000 dts format, instead of converting them into SSIS format and using database mail.
Any help would be appreciated.
Source Database: SQL Server 2000

No matter what table, view, or stored proc I pick, it always says that it doesn't exist at the source. I know it exists because I am picking it from the list of tables, etc. that the GUI provides.
Any suggestions?

The task has a fault if you try to copy a table with a schema like [test].[table1]
The error says
Error: 0xC002F363 at Flyt til DM, Transfer SQL Server Objects Task: Table "table1" does not exist at the source.
Even though i just selected it from the table list minutes before.
I used the toolbox to select maintenance cleanup task to create the job to do this. In reading similar notes regarding this problem, some people mentioned that there was a choice to include subfolders. I do not have this choice. When I execute select @@version I get Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3042.00 (X64) Feb 10 2007 00:59:02 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2) . This is running on a cluster. Any idea what is going on here? Thanks.
I set up the "Send Email Task" succesfully with "SMTP Connection to myExchangeSERVER" using "Windows Authentication"

BUT this piece of code straight from MSDN doesnt work for me - each time it pops up this "Mail Sent Succesfully" - but I receive NO freaking EMAILs!!! Am I missing something or is it another one of those Microsoft "gotchas" ?

Using Bulk Insert Task extensively in our solution. Everything was working great till we deployed it in stage columns. The database server is different from application servers. We have ASP.NET web services driving SSIS packages on application server. After struggling thru several security issues to get this working (ended up creating an application pool with a domain account) we are now stuck with this problem. On a different note still don't understand what specific security permission is available to domain account that makes it work.
Read in some blog that SQL Server 2005 SP2 Beta had this (Bulk Insert) fixed but not in final production version. Is there a specific reason why this is so?
SSIS and the API is quite easy to work with but associated security and deployment issues are not always clear. A lot of answers seem to be coming from end users - thanks a lot to all for sharing your experiences - sadly not presented clearly in SSIS documentation.
This problem is a bit weird but I'm just wondering if anybody else experienced this.
I have a package that has file system tasks (copying dtsx files actually). Basically the package copies other packages to a pre-defined destination. Thing is, it only works if one of the packages it is configured to copy has some sort of sensitive data (e.g., a connectionstring with a password), otherwise it reports a success message on execution but doesn't actually do anything. I've checked the forcedexecutionresult and it is set to None for that matter.
Just wondering if anybody else experienced this problem and of course if there's a way to solve it.
Thanks.
Hi,
I have another issue. I have an excel file that I pipe through a "data conversion" task. I have set all the column data types to strings, because there's no way to know beforehand if a particular column will be number or text because the file is very non-standard (it looks more like a formatted report).
After the data conversion, I send all the rows to a script task. In the script task, I do a check on the numeric fields.
for example:
If Not IsNumeric(Row.Price) Then
Row.Price_IsNull = True
End If
However, this check fails each and every time, even if the field contains a number! I don't have this problem when using flat file sources.
So, none of my numeric fields are getting loaded to my ole db destination.
Help, is there a way around this? Or am I forced to just skip this number check altogether? I'd prefer not to.
Thanks
I have designed a VB Script in ASP .NET (as that is what I'm used to using) that will look at a specific file at a specific path and send the Last Modified information to a database. Now I would like to move this script to the Script a Task function in SSIS so that I can check before running the rest of the package that the file I want to pull the data from has actually been updated. The ASP .NET code (which does work) is as follows (connection string removed):
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.OleDb" %>
<%
Dim objCONN As New OleDbConnection("REMOVED")
Dim objSQL As New OleDbCommand()
Dim strInsert As String
Dim objFilesSystem As Object
Dim objFile As Object
Dim strDate As String
objFilesSystem = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFile = objFilesSystem.GetFile("C:Flat_File_Data/Force_Receipt_To_Clear.xls")
strDate = objFile.DateLastModified
strInsert = "1, cast( '" & strDate & "' as datetime ) ) "
objCONN.Open()
objSQL.Connection = objCONN
objSQL.CommandText = "INSERT INTO CTS.dbo.IS_THERE_CHECK VALUES( getdate(), " & strInsert
objSQL.ExecuteScalar()
objCONN.Close()
%>
What follows is as close as I could get in SSIS (I had to set Option Strict to Off). It produces no error, at least not as far as I can tell, nor does it write to the database when run.
Public Class ScriptMain
' The execution engine calls this method when the task executes.

OK. I give up and need help. Hopefully it's something minor ...
I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
Try
ds = CType(Dts.Variables("VP_EMAIL_RESULTS_RS").Value, DataSet)
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.
part number leadtime
x 5
y 9
....
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
thanks

I'm using SSIS in Visual Studio 2012. My Execute SQL Task calls a Stored Procedure where I have a TRY-CATCH. Last week there was a problem and the CATCH was executed and logged an error to my error table, but for some reason the Execute SQL Task didn't fail. Is there a setting to make the Execute SQL Task fail when an SP encounters a failure?

Hi,
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 using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
Any option anyone knows will help.
Thanks.
I am using SQL 2005 SSIS. I am joining several large tables and then the move result into another table in the same database.
I would like know which method is faster:
Use Execute SQL Task to insert the result set to the target table
Use the Data Flow Task to insert the result set to the target table. (Use OLE DB source to execute SQL command and then use the SQL destination)
Could you tell me why then other is slower?
Thanks.
I have a SQL Task that calls a stored procedure and returns an output parameter. The task fails with error "Value does not fall within the expected range."

In short, does the €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? support distributed transactions?
In trying to use a €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? in a container using a transaction on the container. The task is set to support the transaction. It is setup to copy table data from several tables from a non-domain server (sql server 2000) to a domain-based server (sql server 2005). I get an error stating, €œThis task can not participate in a transaction€?.
I am wondering if it means exactly what it says €“ this task in SSIS can€™t participate at all. Or does it mean that it won€™t in this scenario for some reason. I attempted a simple copy of data from mssql 2005 to mssql 2005 (same server) and the task still failed). MSDTC appears to be running properly on my machine and such (I can do a simple distributed transaction across linked server to the 2000 server in Query Analyzer (QA)). Also, MSDTC appears to be working on both servers with distributed transaction query tests in QA.
Here€™s the error info€¦
SSIS package "Development BusinessContacts and Products Migration.dtsx" starting.

I have an application like fetching records from the DataBase(MS Access 2000) and results i have to use in Script Task. At present i have used the record fetching query,connection string in Script itself. I would like to use in Independently. Is there any Tools like (Control Flow Tools like Execute SQL Task) are there to fetch the result set from Acccess and can use the fetching results in Script Task....
Thanks & Regards

I have a stored procedure that is executed via a sql script task that returns a full result set. I map this result set to a variable or object type. Is there a way to use this variable as a data source in a subsequent data flow task?
A.
I have made one package which extracts data from the source does transformation and submits the data to destination. Subsequently it also updates the required control files.
Now I want to add a functionality :
If the package is executed again it should check the status of previous execution in control file if success mark all tasks disable and stop
if failure mark all tasks at enable and start extracting data and continue further with execution.
I was able to attain similar functionality in SQL Server 2000 using activeX script. What code do I need to write as a part of Script Task in order to attain above functionality.
Hi everyone,
For first time I'm testing this task and surprisingly, when I try "Edit Package" option:
1)The DTS host failed to load or save the package properly
2)The selected package cannot be opened
3)Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component
But after these messages you can see all the tasks but they haven't name!!
It seem as if RCW mechanism has failed between managed and unmanaged coded-partially.
I don't dare to follow doing more stuff, I don't know if that package is well-loaded or not from there. ?¿
Any guidance or idea about this?
1 :Control Flow Excute SQL task: Truncate Table
2: Dataflow Task: Datareader--Script componant--OLE DB Destination (SQL Server 2005--a single table --always around 600,000 rows)
How do I set up a transaction where if there is a failure the Truncate Table command will roll back---and the OLE Destination (A single SQL Server table) will be left the same as before the load started.
Another question with that volume of data --600,000 rows will a truncate table be pratical in a transaction
Any ides welcome
thanks in advance

HI, I need to trigger some packages upon existance of specific files in a particular directory. Sound lkike the file watcher task (from SQLIS) would do the job but I am wondering what is the difference of using this tool instead of a for each loop container. I mean, If a file exists in a directory, the for each loop container will detect it. Since the file watcher is not a service, the package containing it needs to ne scheduled on a regular basis for the filewatcher to detect the file, right? So, a for each loop container would do the job? So, waht wouldbe the advantage of using the file watcher task?
Thank you,
Ccote
A common issue that I run across with clients is they want only want to process a file if it's finished transmitting to the server. This SQL Server 2005 task reads the properties of a file and writes the values to a series of variables. For example, you can use this task to determine if the file is in use (still be uploaded or written to) and then conditionally run the Data Flow task to load the file if it's not being used. You can also use it to determine when the file was created in order to determine if it must be archived.
http://www.pragmaticworks.com/filepropertiestask.htm
An Execute SQL task takes 1 min to run a statement "insert into Mytable select * from view_using_joins"
Output: 10,225 rows affected.
But a Dataflow task configured to fetch data from the same view_using_joins into MyTable takes hours to do the same.
Could you please explain why is it so ?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to get a record count out of a databse using OLE DB Source and row count tasks but keep getting an error. I set up a variable as int32 and select the variable name in the row count task and when I go to the Input Columns tab to select a field to count, it gives me this error:
Error at Data Flow Task[Row Count[505]]: The component "Row Count" (505) has forbidden the requested use of the input column with lineage ID 32.
I don't even know what this means?
thanks,
Hi, I have to researching of how to accesss package tasks and component using the SqlServer.Dts.Runtime class and so far, I havent found any solution. For example, if you package has a scriptiong task and a data flow task(<- which contains a data source component). Is it possible to use the scripting component to access the data source component in the data flow task and manipulate its properites like sqlcommand etc.

I've created my own posting for this. The original post was here, I apologize: http://forums.microsoft.com/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2906512&SiteID=1
According to the poster it's not possible. But there has to be some way to do it? Reflection (don't know how)?
I need to get a reference to the task host in an SSIS Task component.
Basically the scenario is this:
I have a custom task I have created. However I would like to validate that the ExecValueVariable is infact a string variable during the validate event of the task. I know how to verify its a string variable. But I can't figure out how to read what the user selected (such as User::Myvariable). The only way I've been able to figure out how to do it, but it only works if you open my custom task UI.
What I did is this:
I've implemented IDtsTaskUI and during the initialize section I wrote:
Sub Initialize(ByVal taskHost As TaskHost, ByVal serviceProvider As IServiceProvider) Implements IDtsTaskUI.Initialize
' Store the TaskHost of the task.
Me.taskHostValue = taskHost
Dim myTask As CustomTask= CType(taskHost.InnerObject, CustomTask)
myTask.myTaskHost = taskHost
End Sub
My Task is named: CustomTask. I have a public variable in my task as follows:
Public NotInheritable Class CustomTask
Inherits Task
Implements IDTSComponentPersist
Public myTaskHost As TaskHost = Nothing
Therefore I pass back the taskhost value to the CustomTask class, and voila I have it.
Problem is, this only works if the custom task calls the initialize method, and this only happens when you open the custom editor.
I then do the validation in my CustomTask class and it works fine, but myTaskHost is null/nothing until you actually open the custom task UI
How do I solve this?
Hi,
I created a package with SQL 2005. The package gets the Access DB and then inserts it into SQL Server.
If I open the package in .NET, I can see the SQL Task and Data Flow Task. The SQL Task has a property sqlstatementsource, which has the necxessary SQL code to create the tables.
How can I tell the SQL Task to recompile the SQL code if I give it another DB name, because the tables differ and don't map in the Data Flow Task
Thanks
Sometimes we have some pretty serious CPU spikes and I would like to be able to pinpoint the exact issue. I have been able through the DMVs to associate a session with an operating system thread. That's great if I have a batch that's causing the problem with a non NULL sql_handle. However, how do I further narrow down what is going on with the background service broker tasks using the DMVs? Or am I just at the blind mercy of SQL Server at this point? What can I query to know what the heck is going on?
