Hi all,
I am able to pick the complete path of a file name into a variable using "foreachloop container" (e.g :- c:dpakab.xls).
How should i pass this file name in excel source. And how excel source will pick sheet name from this(ab.xls) file.
I will have to flow the data from excel to access and i must have to select file name by using variable. Can any one help me?
I will be thankful.
Thanks,
I'm looking for a way to dynamically set the CacheType property of a Lookup transformation via a configuration variable. Is this possible? The CacheType does not appear to be a selectable property when choosing which properties to export to a configuration file. Can this property be manipulated through a script task inside the package?

So this one has been bugging me for a while and I am ready to punt...
Is it possible to dynamically create a text file destination in SSIS and then pump the results of a query stored in a variable to this text file?
So my package looks like this
1) SQL task that pulls back a list of tables to be exported
2) For Each Loop ADO enum that passes the table name to a SQL Task that builds the select...ie select * from <DTS.Variables()>
3) Data flow task that sets the command from variable from step 2
4) Text File destinaiton that is built using a varable as the connectionstring
I am delaying validation in steps3 and 4 above without any luck...basically I am curious if i can even do what I am thinking I should be able to do here...I get as far as getting metadata errors because SSIS can't seem to handle dynamically filling the pipeline with the columns from the variable/SQL statement.
Am I missing something? Is this possible?!
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
Here's the deal. I have a child package, (say, pack01.dtsx), which uses a dtsconfig file for its connection string, which can be called from other packages, but which also can be called by itself.
However I also have another package (say, pack02.dtsx) which uses the same dtsconfig file for its connection string. It calls on pack01.dtsx.
When I use DTEXECUI and run pack01.dtsx, specifying the proper .dtsconfig file, it goes well. But when I try and run pack02.dtsx, an error occurs saying pack01.dtsx connection cannot be established.
How do I pass the connectionstring being used by pack02 to pack01, without having to remove the configuration file setting of pack01? Can a Parent Package configuration and a configuration file try and map to the same property?
Hope someone could help. Thanks.
I would like to fetch the data flow component name while package is executing. Since system variable named [System::SourceName] only fetches name of the control flow tasks? Is there a way to capture them?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to develop a SSIS package where in there are 'X' number of input data sources like flat files, MS Access mdb files etc. The details about the number of input data sources, type of each data sources, the physical path of the data file, name os database server, username for the database server, password for the database server etc has to come from the configuration file.
Can anyone help on this ?
Hi,
How can i create one configure file that all my packages will inherit the connection to other databases from him??
thanks.
Hi there
I am fairly new to SSIS, I got my package running fine in my development environment with the connection managers (connecting to 3 databases on the same server, with username and password, not Integrated security) and all.
The problem comes in when i want to deploy my package or execute it outside of the development environment.
When I execute the .dtsx file in my project it brings up the Execute Package Utility and I just click Execute, thinking it should work, but not, any ideas??
So I read some of the forums and got looking into the configuration file, suppose that it does not carry the connection manager settings thru, but dam that still doesn't work for me?
The whole idea is that I will be executing the package from my C# code, so does my package have to be just on the server in a folder or does it have to be installed in the db? which is best??
Hope anyone can help me!!
Thanks

Hi All,
Another requirement has cropped up with regard to picking up connection settings for data sources from an external File.
My source and target are both in SQL Server. What i need is that if my source or target changes I should just change my external file and same should reflect in my package.
How can I accomplish it? Please suggest some solution.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am new to SSIS and i have to develop a ssis package which will run in a production machine through VB.Net(2003) exe.I am facing a problem while setting connection string of SSIS package dynamically.Can anybody help me on this?
I'd like to be able to call different packages from a control flow. These packages will have different requirements for parameters therefore I'd like to create them dynamically.
Is this possible? Can I do it using a script task?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I currently have a list of User IDs (in a flat file) and I need to connect to a database I have read-only access to, so that I can retrieve additional data about these users.
I imagined a package that ran a query something like:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE UserID IN (<dynamically populated from flat file>).
Can somebody give me some advice as to how I can achieve this (either the way I suggested or another way).
Kind Regards,
Adam.
Hi,
I am trying to execute a DTS on sql server 2000 using the "Execute DTS 2000 Package Task".
I can see the inner variables and when I set the values everything works fine.
Now I want to pass the values dynamically. How can I achieve this?
Many thanks
Trying to figure out the best method of reading in a number of flat files, all with different number of columns and data types and outputting them to a database.
Here's the problem: They are EBCDIC encoded and some of the columns are packed decimal. I've set up one package that takes the flat file, unpacks the decimal (Using UnpackDecimal component) and then sending the rest through a second component to go from EBCDIC -> ASCII.
What I need is a way to do this for every flat file based on the schema for that flat file. One current solution is to write a script/app to create the .dtsx XML file and then execute that for each flat file. It appears like this may be possible, but I haven't gotten far enough to know for sure. So my questions are this:
1) Is there an easier way to do this (ie somehow feed the schema to the package and use it to dynamically set up the column makers and determine which columns get fed to the unpack decimal component.
2) If there isn't a better way, will dynamically creating the .dtsx XML file based on the necessary input/output columns for each flat file work? If so, what is a good source of information on this (information about how the .dtsx XML file is set up, what needs to be changed/what doesn't, etc).
Thanks,
Travis
I am looking high and low for some assistance with developing a VB .NET solution that I programmatically create a package and add tasks. I am adding a BULK INSERT task to load large FLAT TEXT files into SQL Server 2005 tables. When I execute the application I execute a package validation and it always returns FAILURE. I have been reading and searching like crazy and I have bought 2 microsoft books, TO NO AVAIL! Can anyone PLEASE help me with this. Thank you!

I am trying to dynamically create the connection to a database within an SSIS package.
the requirement is to allow the user to pass through the database as a variable and that variable will dynamically create the connection string in the connection manager.
Is this possible, if so how?
I have create packages which loads the data from flat file to sql server table, now I want to make my destination table connection dynamic what is format of connection string. I also need to pass user name and password for sql server dynamically in this case, what is the format for the connection string.
Also in package i used ADO.net as source for *.mdb files how i can set the commection to .mdb files dynamically which is used as source in my package.
I have three tables in data base:
customer
product
sales
And i want to use SSIS package dynamically load data from database into three separate flat file, each table into each file.
I know i got to use for each loop task ADO.Net schema row set enumerator, with OLEDB connection manager, select table name or view name variable from access mode list, but the problem comes, as table name is dynamic then flat file connection is also dynamic, i am using visual studio 2013...
Can I assign values to variables in 2012 using below command? I have used the same command in 2008 and it works fine.
DTEXEC
/SERVER"XXXXXXXXSQLSERVER2012"/SQL"Mypackage.dtsx"/SETPackage.Variables[FilePath].Value;"C:Test estvariable.csv"
Wondering is there a different way in 2012 to pass values to variables dynamically.
I have requirement like to develop dynamic package for inserting data from flat file to table.
Find below points for more clarification :--
1) if I changed the flat file values and name in source variable AND the table name should be also changed based on variable value .
2) it should dynamically mapped with column values with source file as we have to insert data in target table.
See below diagram for more clarification.
I am designing a package to export staging tables into a flat file.The names of the tables will be: TableAStaging_YYYYMM and TableBStaging_YYYYMM. As you can see the names of the tables will be changing each month.
The flat files will have similar naming: C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM and C:MyPathFlatFileTableAStaging__YYYYMM.I want to run the package as an sql job in two steps, one for each table.I need to dynamically pass the table names and file names (together with the path) to the IS package.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi, I got a website and everything works fine with SQL Server 2000, but now I modified the way of authentication using Forms and when I enter in a protected area I got this error:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by thefact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remoteconnections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could notopen a connection to SQL Server)
The problem is that I don´t have SQL Server 2005 installed so I don´t know why my webapp is trying to contact it, where I can configure this settings so it will look for the Server that exists?

In my DAL, I have 3 tables -
Footballer (FootballerID = Primary Key)
Aspnet Membership Table (UserID=Primary Key)
Favourite Footballers (Junction Table with 2 Primary Keys FootballerID and UserID - both with foreign relationships to their respective data table)
On my sports site, visitors can view various footballers and store their favourites in th FavouriteFootballers Table by clicking on a button.
This stores the Logged in UserID and FootballerID in the junction table.
I now need to write a select query that allows users to click a link and view their favourites which they stored - lets say in a data list on another aspx page.
This would include other columns from the Footballer Table such as Name, Age, Profile ect
I think I am right in that I need to use a Select clause as I am using SQl data adapters in the DAL.
Be very pleased if someone knows how to contruct the query and give me an example how to code a method in the BLL
Some code is below
Method that Stores FootballerID and UserIDprotected void DataList1_ItemCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
{
// Assuming only have one button in the item templateInt32 fid = Int32.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString());Guid userid = (Guid)Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey;
// Connect to the db and insert the recordusing (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\MyDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"))
{
string query = string.Format("INSERT INTO FavouriteFootballer(UserID, ArtistID) VALUES('{0}',{1})", userid, fid);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con);
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.Close();
}
Code in FavouriteFootballersBLL
Its not complete -withotu parameter - i think maybe I also need to reference the Footballer Table and not the Junction one
[System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodAttribute(System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodType.Select, true)]public DataSet1.FavouriteFootballerDataTable GetFootballerFavourites()
{
return Adapter.GetFootballerFavourites();
}

Hello,
I run a small homw office. I am planning to purchase a dell powerdge 1750 server to install SQL server on that.
I am confused here about which RAID should I install on this server RAID 1 or RAID 5.
The dell customer rep could not tell me the advantages of installing only RAID 1 or only RAID 5 or installing both RAID 1 and RAID 5
