How To Configure A Dataflow Task Having A Runtime Source Table Name And A Runtime Destination Table Name
Apr 18, 2008
Hi,
I am having a Data flow task in For each loop which will gets 100 sourcetable names and 100 target table names...
am having a simpleData flow task which trasferes from OLEDBSource to OLEDBDestination.
I am repeating the Dataflow task which transfers from sourcetablename extracted from for loop to a destination table var.
The problem am gettting is for the first table it is able to transfer correcly because I did mapping for those tables at design time...but for the next coming sourcetable-desttable (which r having different no of cols,datatypes) its giving Validation failed...and...needs to refresh metadata....
is there any way to refresh the metadata of Data flow task (I set the property of OLEDBSource validate external meta to false then also same error is coming)
I am trying to create a runtime temporary table at SQL2000 server in my VB 6.0 program. However, I am keeping getting "object not found" error from my program when I trying to issue a SELECT or INSERT statement in my program. Can anyone shows me how to do it properly.
I thought I can create a temporary table with a # prefix as a table name. Am I correct?
i am displaying some information in a datagrid as part of shopping cart.i want to store the informations which i displayed and some informations which the user enters in a temporary table, so that i can perform manipulations based on that. how can i do that? how to load those informations into a temporary table during runtime can anyone explain me in detail? please thanks in advance
I have to generate flat files from SQL Server tables. Its a backup package for few tables which will be run daily. I want the names of the destination flat files to be automatically generated at run time.
I created an expression for the Flat file destination connection and appended the date and the time to the flat file name. For today my file name is 'table02-12-2007.txt'. for tomorrow it should be 'table02-13-2007'. When I evaluate the expression it shows the correct value.
But when i run the package, I receive an error indicating - Destination file is not found. Error is because the destination file is not present at runtime and I was hoping that the package will be create the file on the fly.
Is there any way to create the destination file at runtime? Or Am I missing a step?
I have to import dBASE files to SQL Server. For this I have created one ODBC connection manager for those dBASE files. This I have to set for DataReader Source. But I am unable to configure the DataReader Source.
So, Please tell me how to configure DataReader Source for ODBC connection Manager.
Eagerly waiting for your valuable reply............
The package works fine in development site. It was compiled with "Enable package configurations" and sql server as configuration type. But after installed in production database using deployment manifest, the package does not load the configuration values at run time from the table, instead it uses the variables' value in design time.
If the configuration is a file in windows folder, I may be able to load it from the sql job agent's step configuration tab. When configuration values are stored in a table, how can I make it load the configuration from there at run time?
Hi Friends, I want to have solution for one of the problem. The requirement is like this : I want to write stored procedure or function which will take parameter as SQL Server name, DB name, UserName and passwod. This Stored proc will connect to Remote server using these parameters and will get the count of the rows in one of the table. I created the connection using the linked server
Now I am trying to get count using following query : set @SQLQuery = 'SELECT count(*) FROM [' + @SerevrName + '].' + @SrcDataBaseName +'.dbo.<<TableName>>'
But the question is that the execution goes this way :
exec(@SQLQuery)
Now how to assign this count value to some variable so that I can use it later ...?
Going forword I want to use cursor and get the rows in these table using cursor ...? How can I assign values returned from any runtime query to temporary variable or table ...?
I tried another approach also: I put remote connection and query execution in inner stored proc called usp_GetTableRowCount set @SQLQuery = 'SELECT count(*) FROM [' + @SerevrName + '].' + @SrcDataBaseName +'.dbo.<<TableName>>'
exec(@SQLQuery)
and in outer stored proc : referenced the inner stored proc like this
exec @AFSDataRowCount = dbo.usp_GetTableRowCount <<Server Name>>,<<User Name>>, <<Password>>, <<DBName>> The execution of dbo.usp_GetTableRowCount <<Server Name>>,<<User Name>>, <<Password>>, <<DBName>> gives me exact no of rows but when I see value of AFSDataRowCount, I get 0.
Kindly help me out whereever I am making mistake or else pls tell me any other approach to follow. Thanks in advance.
In both VB6 and VB2005 Both are loaded on same computer. When attempting to write to an access database table using ADO I get a runtime error: -2147217887(80040e21) "mutiple-step operation generates errors. Check each status value. " Reading the database is no problem. I only get the errors when writting to database. I have used the following code forever in VB6 and never got this error. Now that I have Visual Studio 2005 loaded on the same machine. I get this error. I get the exact same error when using this code in VB2005. I know VB6 but am just learning 2005. The following code is writting to a database table from various user imputed text and combo boxes. I used basicly the same code in VB2005 and get the same exception error. This code works on machines that do not have VB .net loaded. How do I fix this. My application is useless unless the user can make changes to their data.

I have a defined data source to an oracle server. I've alredy intalled oracle client, and setup my data source to save the user and password. I'm using .NET provider/OracleClient DataProvider Connection. When I click on "Test Connection" Button, SSIS reports SUCCESS. In Connection Manager TAB I created on connection called "OracleServer" from my oracle data source, described above.
In my package, I defined a DataReaderSource task, I specified "OracleServer" as a connection to it. I can preview data and view oracle's columns name..., so it make me think that everything is fine. But when It execute the task it FAIL and notify logon error and that password can't be blank.
Can I design data flows with an XML Source pointing to file system xml files, and but run them against variables? I can see the properties at design time (Accessmode=0,1,2; XMLDataVar="User::XMLData), but the XMLSource object doesn't appear to have expressions enabled to change this at runtime, nor do these properties seem to be exposed to configurations.
The scenario:
I have a package that reads through (potentially thousands) of XML files, and having identified the embedded message "type", transforms them via XSLT to an easier XML format (XML Datasource can't cope well with multiple namespaces etc). Then send this the new file off to a type specific dataflow task to send contents to database.
For performance (and other) reasons I'd rather XSLT to a single shared variable and use this variable as the XML source in the data flows (Rather than writing out to the filesystem [via xslt] and immediately reading it back in each time [via datasource]).
But designing the data flow task using a variable as xml source is frustrating for a bunch of reasons - not the least being:
(a) The variable needs to be populated with sample xml data at design time. But this could only ever match one dataflow at a time (fine at run time, but painful at designtime - leading to validation errors popping up all around the place.)
Yes I could have a seperate variable for each xmlsource - but that just makes things more complicated up front and also leaves me with 20+ large, type specific, xml variables floating around at runtime of which only one is ever being used per import - which just doesn't feel right to me.
(b) populating the variable with sample xml at design time is painful due to it being a string - and not accepting hard returns etc that are in text files, design time changes etc)
Using a file XML source at design time is infinitely easier, when I get a design time change - I can just amend the XSLT and run the appropriate task to produce a sample XML file to design against.
Please help figure out what is wrong with my code. The script is supposed to load a package (from file). The loaded package already has everything set up to run a query against a local server and output the results to an Excel file. The reason for the outer script is because I need to change the query based on a global variable. When the query changes, though, I think the existing dataflow Path is no longer valid, so I should remove it and re-create another one with the new input mappings. Here is my code, which runs and throws an exception at the AcquireConnections call.
The error is
Error: 0x2 at Script Task: The script threw an exception: Exception from HRESULT: 0xC020801B
I pieced together this code from the examples in the online books, but I am not sure what to do.

Hi all, I have several reports using single shared datasource. I want to change at a runtime database that is used by that datasource. Can this be achieved? If not what are the other solutions €“ I guess that using not shared datasource for each report may be the solution (is it?) but it is not the best solution for me. My goal is to allow users to run the same set of reports, viewed in ReportViewer control, but using different databases (connection string dependant).
I've seen a number of posts similar to this but i still cannot figure out what i need to do to get it working. So here goes with a couple of newbie questions.
Question 1: Once created how do i go about executing a SSIS package. I want to be able to call it from a C# application from which i pass in a couple of parameters?
Question 2: How do i go about setting the file path of my Excel source to a dynamic value passed at runtime. I want to be able to loop through a number of Excel files and do some processing on them. I've set up a variable (which i think i need to do) after that i get stuck however. Some other posts suggest configuration packages but i cannot get my head around how they work?
Any help on this matter would be gratefully recieved.
All, I need to pass a variable to get source data from Oracle on OLE DB source. The variable is defined by an Execute SQL task (previous step) on the control flow and it is a package level variable. In the data flow, OLE DB source using €˜SQL command from variable€™. The variable sql command works when it just: Select *from table But I need the variable SQL command like this: Select * from table where last_modified_date > ? - - variable1 the variable1 is defined by anther Execute SQL task at runtime
Here is my situation. I need to disable a task at runtime. I have a script task that configures a boolean variable at runtime and sets its value to either true or false based on a condition. And also i have already set "disable" property of the component to get value from the boolean variable. The problem here is that the component gets the default value which we give during variable creation instead of getting the configured value.
I am stuck on finding a solution to transpose source data from a system via a metadata look-up table into a destination table. I need a method to transpose/pivot the source data into columns (which are by various data-types). The datatypes for each column are listed in a metadata table.
Source Data Table:
Table Name: Source
SrcID AGE City Date 01 32 London 01-01-2013 02 35 Lagos 02-01-2013 03 36 NY 03-01-2013
Metadata Table:
Table Name:Metadata
MetaID Column_Name Column_type 11 AGE col_integer 22 City col_character 33 Date col_date
Destination table:
The source data to be loaded into the destination table(as shown below):
Hi -- I am fairly new to SSIS development, although I am starting to appreciate it more an more, especially since I have started getting into extending the object model. Here's my question:
I have a data flow that pulls data from any number of different delimited files with different numbers of columns. I have had no problem dealing with setting up run-time file locations and file names by using the expressions of a flat file data source, and i have been able to pretty easily deal with varying file delimiters by standardizing the files before they get into the data flow. however, I have not been able to come up with a solution that will allow my data source to discover its column info at run time, and then pass that information on to the data flow task. all i really care about is being able to properly parse the individual rows into individual column data by the flat file data source because the data flow itself is able to discover the actual data that the columns hold at run-time.
i would very much appreciate any feedback from anyone on possible solutions for this.
In our company, after switching to Office 2007, Access 2007 runtime is installed on our general user machines. Everything is just fine and beautiful, except that there is one issue with runtime:
Several forms in my Access Project use stored procedures in SQL Server 2000 as their record source. When i try to open the forms in Access 2007 Runtime on user machines, i receive an error that "The record source dbo.Myprocedure speified on this form or report does not exist ". I use dbo.ProcName format and the forms open correctly in my full version Access. What could be the problem?
I've been playing around with building custom components for SSIS. I've been doing workflow for years (using Java and Oracle). The company I worked for had a framework for publishing data that allowed for user interaction. That's something I'd love to be able to do in SSIS.
Is it possible to create a custom task that interacts with the user at runtime? So, the user starts the SSIS package. At some point, the process pops up a dialog (Windows Form) that asks the user to set a date using a calendar control.
ESQL1 will get max(id) from table and then based on the ID the remaining needs to be work.
Ex: If the ID=AUS-Sdy-1 then ESQL2 will update the tbl1 and return one IDkey based on this return key the ESQL3 will update a tbl2. ----------*( i want to disable ESQL4) else If the ID=AUS-Sdy-2 then ESQL3 will update the tbl1 and return one IDkey based on this return key the ESQL4 will update a tbl2. ----------- *(i want to disable ESQL2)
Can the WaitForMe Task property be used for building eventing based tasks (that is, "tasks with no defined execution lifecycle"), as Haselden's IS book terms it?
The SSIS run-time would appear to never interrogate this property. I tried setting a breakpoint in a custom task on the WaitForMe property. The breakpoint was never hit at run-time. Design-time only. It seems that the run-time ignores this property.
The documentation states that "On completion of any task, the runtime examines tasks that are still running in the container, and if any of these tasks have WaitForMe set to false, those tasks will be canceled." Well, the tasks with WaitForMe set to false are in fact not cancelled (e.g. System::CancelEvent is not signalled).
The intention of the WaitForMe Task property is to allow for event based tasks to not prevent a package (or other container) from finishing if the event never happens.
Tasks like the WMI Event Watcher, Message QueueTask set to receive, and third party tasks like file watchers, or service broker queue receivers would seem to fall in this category.
I am currently trying to create a Script Task which reads in a file containing meta-data which then dynamically creates a Flat File Connection Manager and configures it using this meta data. After perusing various newsgroups and articles, it seems that I need to be able to reference the Dts.Runtime.Wrapper to do this. I have tried using the Add Reference dialog, but it does not contain a reference to this namespace. I can reference this namespace from a "Script Component" but I am unable to reference it from a "Script Task". Is this a known issue or am I just not doing something correctly? If anyone could give me any pointers it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I'm programmatically loading a package that was created with VS 2005. The last task in the package is a Send Mail Task. It has two properties, FileAttachments and ToLine, which are set to expressions whose values come directly from package variables. The package runs in debug and non-debug (under VS) correctly.
I have an SSIS script task using c#. i need to refere an .xsd dataset in the c# code. i tried to set property below.Build action to Content or Compile Copy to output directory Copy always But still i m unable to use the dataset in my code.
I was wondering if anyone has an idea of how we could find the table names and column names of the tables in our Sql server database at runtime/dynamically given our connection string? Please let me know.

I have searched the SSIS forum for an answer to my question, and I think I have found my answer but what i have read does not come out directly and answer my question.
I am attempting to create an SSIS package that imports data from a Visual Foxpro table into a SQL Server table. From what I have read, the source and destination tables must match column for column. Is this correct? My SQL Server table has a few more columns in it. However, i consistently get "Cannot create connector. The destination component does not have any available inputs...blah".
From what i have read, it sound like the reasoning is that my source and destination tables do not match.
Is this correct, or am i barking up the wrong tree?
