Hi Everybody,
I have SQL 2000 running on Windows 2000 server. I have created a DTS Package, which is running fine. Now I want to transfer/restore/copy this DTS Package to another SQL 2000 server(not an instance). How do I establish this?. Can anybody guide me?.
tks in advance,
John,
That sounds stupid but i cant find how to copy a package DTS from a server to another (how to deploy it in production environnement for example)
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to automatically or programatically transfer or copy a DTS package from one server to another? If so, could anyone out here give some pointers on how?

Hi,
I am getting an error when doing the above.
I create a new SSIS package, drag in an Execute DTS 2000 Package Task, select and embed a DTS package which consists only one one task (as above), and then change the source & destination details (svr + user/pwd). Then when I go to the Copy tab, I get the following error when I hit Select Objects, to view the objects which the embedded DTS package should copy:
SQL-DMO error 21776: general error.
On further inspection, none of the objects selected for copy within the atomic/original DTS package, remain selected for copy within the embedded DTS package.
I have googled to search for an answer to this one, but to no avail. Any ideas would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks,
Tamim.

I am trying to
copy a database from our company's external SQL
Server(production) to our local SQL
Server(development). The Copy Database wizard fails on the step
"Execute SQL Server Agent Job".
Following is the error in the log file.. Please advise
InnerException-->An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
The scenario:
9 db tables populated by 9 Excel Import Files via DTS.
Will I need to create a DTS package for each import? Columns are identical in all 9 - the only thing different is the destination table name and source file name.
I've had to map over 80 columns using DTS and don't want to do it for each instance!
Any help would be appreciated..
Is there a way to strip out the annotations from a dtsx package. I'm looking at quite a few and would like to automaticly pull those out and store them somewhere in either a table or a text file.
Is this possible or am I going to have to hand copy them out?
Thanks for the help

Hi All,
I am new to sql server and the database concepts and just started learning. I want to copy a database and local package from a old sql server to a new server. can anybody guide me with the steps? I am very new to this field so if you could give me detailed steps i would very much appreciate it.
thanks in advance,
Hi there.
Here is my problem: I'm trying to copy a few tables from an ODBC database located on a PC on my LAN to a SQL Server on a remote server.
To do this I have created a DTS package on the SQL Server which runs smoothly, copying the data as it should, but only as long as it copies the data from the ODBC database on my own computer where I have Enterprise Manager installed. The moment I try to copy data from another PC in the network where Enterprise Manager is not used to execute the DTS package the task fails to run.
I'm quite at a loss here and would very much appreciate a notch in the right direction. Perhabs some source or book which I may read to solve the problem.

Trying to build a deployment package. I have a number of dtsx in a project that share a connection config file. When I build, the error states: 'Could not copy file "whatever.dtsconfig" to the deployment utility output directory. ... The file already exists'
What am I doing wrong?
Hello,
I'm trying to migrate a SQL 2000 database to SQL 2005. I'm using the Copy Database Wizard and can copy the database using the detach and attach method, but I would rather use the SQL Management Object method. I get the following error when trying to use this method:
Package "ShellPackage" failed.
This error occurs directly after the following step:
Event Name: OnInformation
Message: Transferring data to database RestoreTest from RestoreTest
Operator: <WANfirst.lastname>
Source Name: BP-BLM-TESTSQL2_BLM-JCAMPVSSQL2_Transfer Objects Task
Source ID: {E6765B9E-1B40-49ED-B0CE-F99252AA34B6}
Execution ID: {213272C4-37E9-4A1E-A5B9-A2F9A61348B3}
Start Time: 12/20/2005 3:05:58 PM
End Time: 12/20/2005 3:05:58 PM
Data Code: 0
The database is created successfully but the data is not transfered. Also, the logins are created on the new server successfully. Has anyone seen this error or have any ideas on how to solve this problem? I would greatly appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Joseph
On my workstation the option is there, but on a couple other workstations that option is not available from the file menu. I tested doing the exact same thing and the option just isn't there. Anyone have any idea's?

I have a SSIS package that I run from dtexec command prompt in parallel. they run completely isolated.
Sometime when I push 3 instance of the packege at the same time, one of the instances will fail.
I have implemented detail Log on the package to see exactly where it's going wrong.
to brife you on what the package does, I can say in nutsheel that it does copy tables between servers.
due to the nature of the problem, the point in failer can is completely random.
if I run just one instance it will work fine (always). if it is more than one that there is a chance that it might fail. (but there is agood chance that they will run successfully).
my guess is, as this packages share resources (CPU,Mempry and disk I/O) sometimes is there is anyshortage on of the packages can fail.
is there anyway to specify how log for example a sql object transfer task will wait before raise and error message.
ALSO is there a way to truncate the memory bufferafter each table copy as it seems like when it is loops for differnet tables they data copy content get's piled up in memory and it get's truncated only when the whole instance is finished not after each table copy
Thanks

I found a possible bug. If I open/create a new Integration Services Project and then try to save a copy of the package to SQL Server I found that for the option to "save Copy of Package As..." is only available if I am in the package itself. If I click (highlight) on the package in the Solution explorer and then click on the File tab, the "save Copy of Package As..." option is not available.
I hope that I explained this well enough.
thanks.
I notice when I copy an SSIS package 'A' to a new package 'B', the new package 'B' will generate a "login failed for user" message in the data flow components. To copy I "save copy of Package 'A' as."
Some config info:
Package ProtectionLevel = EncryptSensitiveWithPassword
Connections are Data Sources
Connection strings with password are stored using PackageConfigurations to an SQLServer table. I've verified Package 'A' is in fact using the config table (e.g. it is not using a password or user stored in the package)
Data connectios are all SQLServer Native OLE DB Client
The account is an SQLServer account (not integrated security)
The original Package 'A' works flawlessly and I get success when I test the connections in Package 'B'.
But executing package 'B' I get: The error message I get is: [Connection manager "MyConnection"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "Login failed for user 'dwuser'.".
Does anyone know why this would occur and/or how to work around it? I saw another thread where a potential workaround is to create a new data flow task and copy all the data flow components to that task. That won't work well for us because the data flow is moderately complex and when you copy and paste it, SSIS completely re-orders the layout.
This is a typical data warehouse ETL setup where there is a master package that executes child packages (e.g. 'A', and 'B' mentioned above) that each perform the ETL for a specific dimension or fact table.
Thanks for any help,

According to the help for SSIS, one method of deploying an SSIS package
to a SQL Server,
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137565.aspx, is to use the
File...Save a Copy of <package file> as... menu option.
I don't have that menu option at all. And yes, the package is in
focus. My save menu options are simply; Save Selected, Save
<package file> As... and Save All.
I am using Version 9.00.1399.00 of the SSIS Designer.
At one time I did have the Management Studio's CTP installed.
However it was uninstalled before installing the tools from the
Standard Edition. (it would seem like not completely however)
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx much.
p.s. Almost forgot to mention... I am already aware of using the
DTSInstall utility as a workaround. It should be noted, however,
that despite enabling the "CreateDeploymentUtility" property, the
DTSInstall.exe is not copied to the binDeployment directory.
Hi,
I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.
I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.
if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.
To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".
My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.

Hi,
I'd like to know if there's a way to pass parent package parameters to a package executed by SQL Server Job Agent? It appears that sp_start_job doesn't have any variable that could accomodate this.
Hope to hear your ideas.
Hi there
We have a SSIS run which runs as follows
The master package has a configuration file, specifying the connect strings
The master package passes these connect-strings to the child packages in a variable
Both master package and child packages have connection managers, setup to use localhost. This is done deliberately to be able to test the packages on individual development pc€™s.
We do not want to change anything inside the packages when deploying to test, and from test to production. All differences will be in the config files (which are pretty fixed, they very seldom change). That way we can be sure that we can deploy to production without any changes at all.
The package is run from the file system, through a job-schedule.
We experience the following when running on a not default sql-server instance (called dkms5253uedw)
Case 1:
The master package starts by executing three sql-scripts (drop foreign key€™s, truncate tables, create foreign key€™s). This works fine.
The master package then executes the first child package. We then in the sysdtslog get:
Error - €œcannot connect to database xxx€?
Info - €œpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
The child package then executes OK, does all it€™s work, and finish. Because there has been an error, the master package then stops with an error.
Case 2:
When we run exactly the same, but with the connection strings in the config file pointing to the default instance (dkms5253), the everything works fine.
Case 3:
When we run exactly the same, again against the dkms5253uedw instance, but now with the exact same databases defined in the default instance, it also works perfect.
Case 4:
When we then stop the sql-server on the default instance, the package faults again, this time with
Error - €œtimeout when connect to database xxx€?
Info - €œpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
And the continues as in the first case
From all this we conclude, that the child package tries to connect to the database before it knows the connection string it gets passed in the variable from the master package. It therefore tries to connect to the default instance, and this only works if the default instance is running and has the same databases defined. As far as we can see, the child package does no work against the default instance (no logging etc.).
We have tried delayed validation in the packages and in the connection managers, but with the same results (error).
So we are desperately hoping that someone can help us solve this problem.
Thanx,

Hi,
I set up DB mirror between a primary (SQL1) and a mirror (SQL2); no witness. I have a problem when I issue command:
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
The error message is:
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy of the database log.
I have the steps below prior to the command. (Note that both servers' service accounts use the same domain account. The domain account I login to do db mirror setup is a member of the local admin group.)
1. backup database DBmirrorTest on SQL1
2. backup database log
3. copy db and log backup files to SQL2
4. restore db with norecovery
5. restore log with norecovery
6. create endpoints on both SQL1 and SQL2
CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)
FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER)
7. enable mirror on mirror server SQL2
:connect SQL2
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL1.mycom.com:5022';
go
8. Enable mirror on primary server SQL1
:connect SQL1
alter database DBmirrorTest
Set Partner = N'TCP://SQL2.mycom.com:5022';
go
This is where I got the error.
The remote copy of database "DBmirrorTest" has not been rolled forward to a point in time that is encompassed in the local copy
Thanks for any help,

Hi,
I have packages stored in SQL store. I was letting users run the packages from a .net app that I made with
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Now I have noticed this causes the packages to run on the client pc cpu, as well as the network traffic is done via the client pc, in my particular case this is slow.
From the doc and in this forum I have found that you can run a package on the Server cpu through sql agent, let packages be run in a sql job. after that you can start a package from an application with the SQL sp_start_job .
But How do you set a user::varibale in a package if you have to start the package from a sql agent job ?
Hi!
I did:
alter database mydb set single_user with rollback immediate;
exec sp_detach_db @dbname='mydb', @keepfulltextindexfile='true';
then I tried to copy files to new location on other drives, same server but got
>>Cannot copy <myfile>: Access is denied
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use<<
I also tried rename of file without success.
I also tried with db service stoppet (not preferred) without success.
How to find out, which process locks the files?
Best regards
There must be a difference, but I don't know what it is.
Can someone please explain the advantages and disadvantages of each method?
Thanks in advance.

I have a database called 'DB1' in SQL Server 2000. I want to create the same database in SQL Server 2005 Express including the original data in tables.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAny help would be greatly appreciated.My problem is that I need to set up a backup SQL Server 2000 machinewhich can be used in case of a failure to my primary. All databases(30 as of now) must be an up to the minute exact copy of productionand include most recent changes in data as well as any structurechanges (Tables, Views, SP's, Triggers, Users . . etc).When I tried this using Transactional Replication, the replicationprocess gets fouled up once I introduce any kind of structure changesto the DB. I've considered the idea of doing periodic backups andrestoring it to my backup SQL server, but this does not give me theconcurrency needed with 0 latency.I've seen articles that recommend using Transaction Replication with'Scheduled Table Refresh', and also doing database dumps to restore onthe backup machine, but I have not been able to find any documentationregarding this to try out. How can I implement this type of backupstrategy in SQL 2000?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to schedule a job which pulls files from a non SQL server (Sybase) which later needs to have a step 2 kicking the ssis package. Problem is that, on the source a batch file will run every 4 hours and outputs total of 10 text files. (takes 5 minutes complete). Now, on destination i want to pull these files via SQL job but while scheduling;
1. I don't see any option saying like 4 hours 10 minutes or so
2. If its out there, then i believe this might be a problem as this time would be an increment one e.g next run would be 4 hours 20 minutes in that case.
How should i achieve pulling these files up because we have an SSIS package on destination that needs those text files to be used as soon as they arrive on SQL server(destination)
Greetings,
I have two SQL Server tables on the same server and in the same database. I'll call them table A and table B. They have identical schemas. I need to insert all rows in table A into table B. (Don't laugh - this is just for testing and long run the tables will reside on different servers.)
Can someone please tell me the correct task to use for this and the connection type I need for both the source and destination?
Thanks,
