How To Optimize Integration Pacakages Or Best Practices For Integration Services
Sep 11, 2007
Hello friends.
I managed to design an Integration service package,but the desired level of performance has not been achieved(i.e it is performing slow).
So I want to know what are the best practices for optimized solution .
In my package I'm exreacting data from XML file and Storing it in SQL server database with some processing dring data flow.
I'm using
1) Two Script Task Control -In these control,I m opening the connection to XML file through VB.net code and
iterating each record at a time.
2)Two OLE DB Command -Each fetched record from script task component is processed in OLEDB command through
stored procedure and then inseted into database.
3)One for Loop -This loop contains two script Task control and two OLEDB Command control,
(mentioned above),for fetching single record and inserting it in database.
4)One derived Column
5)One Multicast
6)One Character Map
7)One OlEDB Source
As with my current performance I'm able to insert one record in every .5 second (Which is much below to acceptable limits)
Is control lying disabled on SSIS designer pane also affect the performance of execution.
Hi, I have just install SQL 2005 SP2 and trying to get Window SharePoint Services V3 integrated with SQL 2005 SP2 reporting services. In SharePoint Central Administration, I select the Reporting Services Integration page and have setup the Report Server Web Service URL and Authentication Mode. I then goto Grant database access, specify the SQL server name, get promted for a username and password that has access SQL Reportserver and get the following error "The group name could not be found" Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
Hello, I have a problem when trying to fully process an SSAS database using Integration Services "Analysis Services Processing Task" task. I have 2 of these tasks which are responsible for processing the Dimensions then the Cubes. When I run the package either via the BIDS environment or on the local server from the Integration Services engine, I will get an error after about 20 minutes stating:
"Error: Memory Error: Allocation failure. Not enough storage is available to process this command""Error: Errors in the metadata manager. An error occurred when loading the <cube name> cube from the file \?D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2OLAPDataMyWarehouse<cube file>.xml"
The cube name is not specific, it will fail and any of my cubes could be in the error log
If I fully process the AS database using the AS engine (logon to local AS server, right-click AS database and click Process), I get no errors at all, it processes and completes fine. The processing options are identical when I run in AS or via the SSIS "Analysis Services Processing Task" task.
I've searched quite a lot online but no joy, the information I have gleaned from various sites does not directly link SSIS with SSAS processing problems.
When either the AS processing starts via SSAS or SSIS the memory usage of MSMDSRV.exe increases to around 1.4 / 1.5 GB but never goes to 2GB ever, even when the error appears.
I've done the following with no effect.
" Have run via AS and works fine " No specific cube it fails on " Have created a Dimension only package, same problem " Changed the maxmemorylimit " Changed the connections to localhost " Memory DOES NOT max out on server
Server Specs: Windows Server 2003 Standard + Service Pack 2 4GM ram, 2GB paging file
Is there a way to give customers access to SSIS? They need to be able to create their own SSIS packages. Of course we have more then one customer so it would be nice to have modular security in place where they don't get to see customers abc and customer xyz packages. Only their own.
I have created an integration services project (attached is a screenshot) that workes against the flat file (.DAT extension) and it does some manipluation in the data and then load it into the table. Everything works fine. Now I want to get the name of my flat file source fille (which is a .DAT file) and then insert it in the table. I am running th integration services against different .DAT files (only one file at one time) which are located on different locations.....so what I want is that, whenever I run the package it do the usuall processing and then while loading the data in to the destination table, it also load the name of the file into the destination table (lets called a field "FileName" of nvarchar type in the table "Comphistory")
Problem When you have a SSIS package that contains a connection from a data source, this connection is not updated when the data source changes based on a configuration change.
Situation : A SSIS solution contains 3 configurations : Development, Test, Production. You can create those configurations in configuration manager of the solution.
The SSIS project contains one Data source. It doesn't really matter what type but I take SQL Server. The database server in development is SQL_DEV, in test is SQL_TEST and in production is SQL_PROD. Initially they are for all configurations the same. You can specify those values by changing the active configuration and then editing the Data source.
In the SSIS package (DTSX), you can create a connection manager based on a Data source. If you change the Data source, the connection manager is also changed. If you change the Data source by changing the active configuration, the connection manager is not being updated.
If you think this isn't a big issue think big. We have 4 configuration, 10 shared Data sources and 25 DTSX packages. That would give a maximum of 1000 settings (4 x 10 x 25). Using this method it can be reduced to 40 (4 x 10). Of course this is a theoretical but it is very common to have the destination data source re-used on all packages, which still would be 100 settings (4 x 25)
Steps to reproduce - create a new SSIS project - In the solution explorer, create a new Data source named TestSource. - In the connection managers window of Package.dtsx, create a new connection from a Data source. - Make some changes in to TestSource.ds under the Data Sources. For example change the server or the database. - Verify that those changes are also in the package.
- in the solution explorer, right click the solution and select configuration manager - under active solution configuration, create a new configuration named test. - Set the copy settings from : development - Verify that Create new project configuration is checked. - click OK and close. - Notice that the active configuration is now Test - Make some changes the Testsource.ds like a different server. - Verify that those changes are also in the package. - Make the development configuration as active. - Notice that the Testsource.ds contains now the original settings. - You will notice that the connection manager still contains the "test" settings and not the development settings. - If you create a deployment utility it will still contains the wrong values.
Can someone explain to me why I am getting this kind of error though I am able to integrate all the data succeesfully to the next destination.

I'm trying to use the new integration services and have found all kinds of help for it, but where is it? I can't find it. Is it in the SQL Server Management Studio?
I am trying to know how to read many XML files within one data flowtask. I have many many files that I would like to apply to with thesame data flow so I need to know how to read them in and what taskshould I use under SQL 2005 DTS/Integration services.Thanks for your help!JON
I've to do a mining project and I intend to use the SSIS.
I've done a clustering plugin last year on analysis services and I also want to use it.
Let me try to explain the architecture of the process:
1) Receive data (read data from the database - these data are texts, actually)
2) Pre-process the data (transform the texts in a sparse matrix) using a new plugin
3) Call my clustering plugin and assign it to read the table created on the previous step
4) Call my KNN plugin to classify other pre-processed texts using the clusters found on the previous step as classes.
5) Show results.
Alright... It all running as a workflow on integration services
Here are my doubts:
A) How to view and use my plugin made for Analysis Services on Integration Services ? (is it possible or will I have to create another plugins from zero just to run on Integration Services ?)
B) Assuming the previous step is possible, how to modify my plugins to define inputs and outputs to do the correct communications between each plugin ? I think this is the most important question. Is it simple to do ? Is there any documented examples ?
When i try to connect to SQL 2005 integration services from object explorer i get connected (in the sense it shows in object explorer running packages stored packages ..)but when i try to exand any of these objects i get the following error
Failed to retrieve data for this request(Microsoft.sqlserver.smoEnum)
Additional information
The sql server specified in SSIS service configuration is not present or not available.This might occur when there is no default instance of Sql server on the computer. For more information see "config integeration services" in server 2005 books online.
Login time out expired
An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server.When connecting to the Sql server 2005, the failure may be caused by the fact that under default settings Sqlserver does not allow remote connections.

We have developed a datawarehouse using DTS in 2000. Now we have started using 2005 and as it supports DTS so there no issued for our datawarehouse to run.
But every six months there are new requirements and we achange and add to the existing DTS, but now DTS development is not supported in 2005, can we use itegration services for the same and embedd it with the existing DTS or do I need to redevelop the datawarehouse using SSIS.
We use Windows Authentication to connect to SQL Server, is there any special permissions required to connect to Integration Services in SSMS?
Whenever I try to browse the servers available with Integration Services (from Object Browser), none of the servers gets listed. If I directly give server name and try to connect to Integeration Services I get the following error. But I'm able to connect to the database engine.
TITLE: Connect to Server ------------------------------
I don't need to have SSIS service installed on my sql server to run SSIS packages as jobs. So I've now deployed my packages to our live clustered SQL server, and I even have a package that runs to a point. So basically the package imports some data then reprocesses a dimension on the cube, it imports the data ok, then fails to process the cube with the following message
Description: The task "Process Cube Dimension DimFiscalPeriod" cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition.
Now the SQL server is enterprise edition, so do I really need to install SSIS on this server or not ?
I'm having issues trying to connect to a remote SSIS server. Connection between servers within the DC works. Port TCP 135 and 139 are open. Also tried to connect using IP address but the same error occurs. Do i need to open more ports?
I'm a .NET developer. Now I'm getting more involved with DB and I need to rune some scheduled jobs that involve mostly data. They have to retrieve data from several sources, work with it and then wrap it together and insert the result into a table. A lot of logic (code) is needed in the process.
For what I can see the best way could be using Integration Services, am I right?
Where could I start looking how it works and how can I use code and several things?
Thanks a lot.
Edit: Also, is it possible to use .NET assemblies in some way?
I am not able to start Integration services on my windows 2003 machine. I get the below error. The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or application error log for details. I am a newbee for MS SQLSERVER. I did not see any errors in the event log. I checked the sqlserver log and found the below message. I am not sure if this could be related. The SQL network Interface library could not register service principal name (SPN) for the SQL service error: 0x2098. This machine is clustered and integration services seems to work without issues on the first node.
I recently created an SQL Server Integration Project (DTS package) using the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. At the time of creating the project I had access to all my SQLServer 2005 databases in order to create the Data Flow. However now that the application has been deployed I no longer has access to the data sources used in the creation of the Data Flow tasks.
Is it still possible to make changes to the Integration Service Project solution with out been able to connect to the original data sources and re-build the package ?
We have about 150 SQL servers and basically we're considering the pros and cons of installing SSIS on a central SSIS server - that is responsible for all DTS jobs - as opposed to installing SSIS on the local SQL instance.
On the plus side so far:
1./ Central administration, alerting, change management etc
2./ Possible performance gain on the local instance not having SSIS installed?
On the negative side:
1./ Central point of failure
2./ Possibility that it would need to be a clustered...
3./ Compatibility issues may mean having to make the central SSIS server 32-bit?
4./ Possible performance cost of remote SSIS?
5./ With multiple DTS packages running at different times, when would we take the server down for maintenace...?
I am installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional on Windows XP.
I have finished installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional along with Service Pack 1. Now I am installing the Developer version of SQL 2005 that comes with Visual Studio 2005 Professional .
During the installation of SQL Server 2005, I got the following error during the integration services installation portion:
Failed to install and configure assemblies: c:program filesmicrosoft sql server90dts asksmicrosoft.sqlserver.msmqtask.d ll in the COM+ catalog. Error -2146233087
Error message: unknown error 0x80131501 Error description: You must have administrative credentials to perform this task.
I'm logged into Windows as Administrator.
This machine did previously have VS 2005 Standard and SQL 2005 Standard loaded. The software was RTM software as provided by Microsoft at their launch event. I did uninstall both products before attempting the upgrade.
My client machine has VS Studio 2005 Professional installed. My server has SQL Server 2005 Enterprise with BIDS installed. I would prefer to do my task development on my client instead of the server. How do I get the Integration Services projects on my installation of VS 2005? I went so far as installing SQL Express and BIDS on my local machine, but the only Business Development projects I get are Report Server. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have a quick question, Can i access the SSIS services of a Server from a remote server using Sql Server management studio.
I'm trying to access a third DB server and i can access it using Sql server management studio with sa and password but the integration services aren't there and when i try to explicitly connect to it, it is not connecting
Any ideas?
P.S: Can any of you recommend a very good book as I've done some work with it but it seems i might be the one doing more work with BI from now on as the organisation is not going to appoint anyone else in this position.
