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 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 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?

I have an ssis package that contains a DateTime variable named RefDate
its value saved in the package is 8/31/2006. I setted up a Package
configuration for read the value of RefDate from the parent package.I
inserted a script task with message box to verify that the package
configuration works. When I launch the parent package the message box
shows the value of RefDate setted in the parent package. The problem
is that when I use RefDate to dynamically set the connection string of
the log connection of the SSIS log provider for XML files for the
child package, the connection string contains the child value of
RefDate.
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.
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 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.
SQL 2012 SSIS package.I have a package connection that has the initialcatalog set in the connection string/properties page. This package connection also has an expression defined to set the initial catalog at runtime according to a passed in parameter. It works fine.
I am trying to create a second package in this same manner, but the connection does not seem to want to keep both the hardcoded initialcatalog and the expression to set it dynamically.
I can hardcode the initcatalog just fine, when when I add the expression to set it dynamically later, it clears out the initialcatalog I added.
What am I missing, why was I able to do this in the other package? I compared as much as I can think of between the two packages, all seems similar.
Dear All,
I now have two SSIS package, "TESTING" and "LOADING". The "TESTING" package have an execute package task that call the "LOADING" package. When I want to execute the TESTING package, how can I setup the connection string so that I can edit the password of the database connected by the "LOADING" package?

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.
Both the OLE DB Connection and ADO.Net Connection in SSIS Package does not remember password.
Im connecting to a SQL Server 2000 box using its sa password as test.
The SSIS package runs fine when you first set up the connection in bids
The bottom line is that SSIS keeps forgetting the password I feed into
the two Connections that I'm using. I double-click a connection,
type the password in, check "Save my password" and hit "OK" but the
password disappears from there whenever I run the package or
double-click the connection again.
is there any known workaround for this issue as I would like to schedule my SSIS package using a SSIS Step in a SQL Server 2005 Agent job.
the only thing I found when googling this error was link below but the workaround described here is a little harsh

the box SSIS is running on is Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition latest service pack
SQL Server 2005 (no service packs )
[Connection manager "CLRDB_Connection"] 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 'CLR.Test'.".
I got this error i cant resolve this. i deployed the package to other server using sql authentication. and i create the package using windows authentication on my local computer. i try to run my package in my local computer and i got this error.
I am having a very frustrating issue--
Essentially I have a package with an OLE DB Connection manager and a Data Flow Task.
The OLE DB Connection points to my SQL Server (using SQL authentication with a user who has sysadmin and dbo access to the DB)
All the Data Flow Task has is an SQL OLE DB Transform that runs a
SELECT * FROM <Table>
Obviously, this package does nothing...but I have stripped it down for test purposes.
Long story....longer:
When I debug this package from my local computer, the package completes successfully.
However, when I build the package and import it as a job on the server, it fails when it runs.
I get the following error in the Event Log:
Login failed for user 'xxxxxx'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
I enabled logging on my package; it says:
OnError,....The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "xxxxxx" failed with error code 0xC0202009
Why can I debug the package successfully on my computer, yet when the server runs the package, locally, it fails?
I have created a SSIS package to import data from DBF files using a OLE DB Jet 4 driver, which works very well in Visual Studio, however doesn't work via a SQL Job. It states the the path isn't valid.
The file path in the connection manage is \servernamedbf (dbf being a shared folder I have permissions and security to)
The server is on another domain, which is trusted. I added the server's IP address to the host file and through windows explorer can navigate to the dbf folder with out a password prompt.
Why can't I get this to work???
Cheers
It seems there a lot of problems running SSIS packages under the sql agent. I have read the knowledgebase articles regarding permission issues etc but I still can't get my job to run. I can run any package as a job apart from a package that connects to an external database via an odbc connection. Has anyone had any luck with this and can let me in on the secret.

I create a SSIS Package for ETL on my own machine. During development database was also on my machine. For access to this database an OLE DB connection was defined within a package in BI Development Studio. Everything worked well both in debug mode and testing package itself.
Finally I need to load data to a database on a different machine using this package.
I used several scenaries:
1) simply copied the package-file to estination machine, open it for execution, in section "Connection Managers" I edited connection string manually - changed server name and Initial Catalog. And try to execute.
2) on the destination machine I manually created an OLE DB connection (using Microsoft Data Link) to a different database (test succeded), Changed the extention of the connection file 'udl' for ' txt ' and copied its connection string to the field connection string in section "Connection Managers" (pointed in variant 1) ).
3) use Package Configurations, copied the deployment to destination machine, installed the package the way like written here - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365338.aspx. Changed exported properties - Server name, Initial Catalog and also the whole Connection String. Also try to execute.
In all cases I recieved the same error execution message :
"Errors in the metadata manager. Either the database with ID of " OLD_DATABASE_NAME " does not exist in the server with ID of " NEW_SERVER_NAME " or the user does not have permissions to access the object."
As for access (username/pass) settings they are the same for both of them, I have the same administrative rights on both machines. And more with the same rights the ole db connection made was made manually in variant 2 - succeded!!! So I don't think the problem is here.
As for Error message - I think somewhere the OLD name of database (Initial Catalog) is saved, though I tried to change it. Though the NEW value for the server name is substituted.
Please, help me. I don't know what else can I try. And it is not a single case for my practice. So I think - something wrong in my actions.
Hi,
We are using a €œFlat File Connection Manager€? in our SSIS package.
The package fails occasionally while loading in the validation phase with the error
€œ-1073659899,0x,The connection type "FLATFILE" specified for connection manager "<some name>" is not recognized as a valid connection manager type. This error is returned when an attempt is made to create a connection manager for an unknown connection type. Check the spelling in the connection type name.
This error is not returned always.
Also I feel €œFLATFILE€? is a valid type of connection manager. This value €œFLATFILE€? is inserted by the editor and not manually typed. This is a weird behavior of SSIS.
Sometimes I get this error with respect to some other connection manager used in the package as well. €œOLEDB€? is the type of that other connection manager.
Has anybody faced similar issue earlier?
Please let me know some thoughts, suggestions, and possible work-arounds to avoid this error as this is very critical for us.

Hi,
I want to make a SSIS package with Oracle and deploy it in no of oracle databases, for it every time I have to open package and change connection information.
How can I make oracle connection information as variable value so that when I deploy my package on Oracle database it will pick all oracle connection information(User Id, Pwd, Server Name) automatically.
Please let me know about this.
Thanks
Hello All,
I'm new to SQL 2005. I am setting up some SSIS packages which will connect to an Oracle database and copy some tables from it. These packages will then be scheduled to run on a daily basis. Because they will run automatically, it is required that passwords be saved along with the connection string. However, even though the password is saved (and encrypted, I checked the .dtsx in notepad), when I run the package, the connection to Oracle fails. Only if I respecify the password does it run correctly. How can I correctly save this password so that I can schedule automatic execution? Thanks for any info.
Hi
I need help for Connection string:
Requirement: When we create SSIS Pacakge using Businessinteligence studio.Each Source and Destination or whatever we using the Control required DB Connection.
we connect theDB server and Database Table through manaully .Instead of Manual i need dynamic Global varible for Connection String .How to achieve this connection string.
because suppose we create SSIS Package in Developement Server Latter We change the Server from Developement to Another Testing Server . at that time we dont requierd for changing manulay.any one pls reply me.
Same as in Dotnet we give configiration XML file .we gave the Connection strng. how to in SSIS we do?

Hello,
I've SQL Server running on 64 bit. When I schedule a package to run every night which has excel data transformation, it fails. Initally I had a problem running through BIDS also but then I found in project properties you can switch this off by specifying property Run64BitRuntime by false. After going through some forums, many have suggested that when scheduling a package, modify the command arguments to run as 32bit runtime. These command argumnents can be generated from making use of tool DTExecUI.exe Even after using generated command arguments from this tool, it doesn't help.
Below is my command argument and the error message generated.

I'm learning SSIS, and just started to use SSIS Package Configurations. I want to be able to switch between a dev and prod instance of our database.
I did not specify the password in the Configuration file (XML), figuring it would get it from the package itself. (That will be the same between dev and prod). But once I set up to use the Configuration, I started to get a "Login failed..." message. I added the password to the configuration, and it's the same. I quit using the configuration file at all, and then it works again.
This may be related, but when I show the properties on my connection, it shows stars for the password. When I go to the editor, the password field is blank, and if I test the connection, it fails. I type in the password, and then the connection works. I have the "Save my password" checked, but every time I go back, the password is blank. In fact, if I type in the password for the connection in the editor, and then go to the "All" page, the password is blank. It may be a red herring, but it sure looks like it's not really storing the password, and thus the Configuration file can't connect when it tries to get it. I can type in the password, test the connection (it works), close the editor dialog, open the editor dialog, test the connection again, and since the password is now blank, the connection fails.
What do I have to do to make that password actually stick!?
Without the Configuration file, when I save the package to SQLServer, it will run as a job, in spite of the password appearing to not stick. With the configuration file, it's not even running while still in Studio.
Here are at least some of the version information, which may or may not be useful.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005

Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727

Hi,
I have installed MS SQL Server 2005 and Service Pack 2 on a new Windows 32-bit environment. I also installed the 32-bit 10g client (the Administrator option). The tnsnames.ora file is configured properly and I can tnsping to the Oracle database without any issues. I have created a package in Visual Studio and it runs successfully when I execute the job manually. I saved the package to the MS SQL Server and when I log into Management Studio to create a job for this package, I receive the following error:

I've four posts regarding this error message on the MSDN forums that aren't helpful at this moment - I'm hoping that someone will have found a solution since those posts. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Hi There,
In SSIS package development environment, I was able to connect to an oracle database and pull data into my sql server database. I installed the client tools for oracle and I put an entry into the tnsnames.ora and I was able to connect.
But in production environment, if I deploy the package on sql server, I was wondering if I had to do the same job of downloading the oracle client tools onto my production machine --which creates a tnsnames.ora file to it default location and then edit it with tthe tns entry-- or is there a better way to do this--avoiding the download?
Can somebody plzz help me ?
Thanks.
We have a large number of SSISDB packages running happily, connecting to our SQL Servers using ADO.Net or Sql Native Client, making their connection using NTLM. (We don't have our SQL Server SPNs correctly configured to support Kerberos).
The SSISDB packages are hosted on and run on a dedicated SQL server, different to the SQL Servers they are connecting to.
Very occasionally, the connection attempt is made using Kerberos instead of NTLM, and the connection attempt to sql server fails. (This is going by the Windows Security event log, which reveals a Kerberos login - a successful one at the Windows level - at the precise time that the calling agent job is informed of a connection timeout and fails, approx 23 seconds after the job starts).
The correct configuration of our SPNs is something we may wish to look into for security best practice, and would of course fix this. However, that may not be my decision to make.
Hi,
After I had transfered SSIS package to another PC I tried to open package and I got an error. ".. Failed to decrypt protected XML node "PackagePassword" with error . ".
It turned out, that the password wasn't saved in a OLEDB connection manager of the Package. However "save password" options checked!
But password field was empty.
As soos as I enter password the package executes successfully.
Question: How can I transfer a password for OLEDB Connection within a SSIS package to another developer's VS2005?
Our project is on SSIS 2012 and we are using the project deployment model. We have parameter the connection managers, created environments, environment variables and configured the references. Hence, when we deploy the solution to higher environments, the connection strings are picked from the environments and not the ones stored in the connection manager.
However, we face issues when in development environment, we need to run the same package but by entering the values manually in the connection manager. Even though the connection details are correct, when we execute the package from Visual Studio, SSIS is not able to connect to the database. Is there any way to have SSIS prompt for the connection details after we have click on "Execute Task" or "Start" from Visual Studio?Â
I have a simple SSIS package with three "Execute SQL Tasks". I am using ADO.Net Connection to execute SPs on a DB server.
When I execute this package It works fine. So far so good.
Now, I need to implement transation on this package. And problem starts now onwards. When I try to execute package after setting TransationOption = Required for the Sequence container which contains all the tasks, I get following error.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Failed to acquire connection "NYCDB0008.Export". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
"NYCDB0008.Export" is the name of the ADO.Net connection. I have been hunting for any solution but all in vain. I have tried changing all DTC settings on the dev as well as Database server.
Please respond if anyone has any solution.
Thanks!

Hey, I've a few jobs which call SSIS packages. If I run the SSIS package, it runs fine but if I try to run the job which calls this package, it fails. Can someone help me troubleshoot this issue? None of my jobs that call an SSIS package work. All of them fail.
Thank you

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,
