Hi All,
I have a requirement here to import data from XML file to SQL Database. The XML schema contains of various elements and one of the element is recursive ie. Parameter node contains parameter node within it and it can have n number of iterations. I have given the sample schema below:
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Parameter">
<xs:complexType>
<xs: sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="ID" type="xs: string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Description" type="xs: string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Type" type="xs: string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Parameter">
<xs:complexType>
<xs: sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="ID" type="xs: string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Description" type="xs: string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Type" type="xs: string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Parameter">
<xs:complexType>
<xs: sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="ID" type="xs: string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Description" type="xs: string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Type" type="xs: string" />
</xs: sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Parameter">
...............
</xs: sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs: sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
But all the nodes contain the data which has to be imported to a single table dbo.Parameters. I cannot use Union ALL since i dont know how many iterations I will have in the file. Is there any way to do this operation in Data Flow Task using XML Source? Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks,

I want to achieve the following in (SSIS/SSDT for SQL 2012) -Â
I have a generic SSIS package which simply sends out email notifications using SMTP email task (this package is within its own project, and has project level input parameters).
I need to be able to call this package in the Event handler section of every package (numbering in about less than 60) that we have. These packages are within their own respective projects.
I thought I could use the "execute package task", but it turns out , using this, I cannot call a package that is part of some other project. I also cannot call a package that is stored in the CATALOG. Is there any way I can do this ?
When I call the child package , I should be able to send in parameters like - error information and package name of the Parent package.
I have an SSIS package (TransAgentMaster) that I recently modified to include a call to a child package via the file system. The child package creates a text file. When I run the package in dev studio then the child package/text file is produced.
I then imported the TransAgentMaster as a stored packagesfilesystem package into SQL SSIS and executed the package. The child package produced the text file.
I then ran the SQL Server Agent to see if the child package would work and it did not generate the text file. Thus after updating a SSIS package importing the package into SSIS the job that calls the package will not call the child package. Please not that the TransAgentMaster package calls 7 children packages €¦ just not my new one.
Any thoughts why the agent will not run the child newly crated childe package?
I have a parent package that calls a child package. When this is executed on SQL server (the actual server host SSIS services) it executes fine I can see data in the correct tables and I can determine that is ran. But I try to run this from my local pc within the designer (Visual Studios) and the parent package runs a few task that are before the child package task but once it gets to the child package it stops. I have set breakpoint on several task with the parent package and I can step thru them but once it gets to the child it tries to run it then the execute package task object turns red. I can not find any error messages or codes. I even have beak points set up on the child package itself and the process never hits those break points but I'm assuming is cause is puking before I get to the child package.
The child package is stored in SQL server and is in MSDB.
I just want to debug the child packages from BIDS or visual studios?
any one know how to debug child packages from BIDS or Visual Studios?
I can if I run the child package by itself but I need to test from end to end ....so within the parent packages which calls a few child packages..
thanks
Hi,
I am trying to load a XML document using SSIS into relational tables and pulling my hair out.
In it's simpliest form I have:
<Batch>
<POSBasket>
<Header>
<SomeDetail/>
</Header>
</POSBasket>
<POSBasket>
<Header>
<SomeDetail/>
</Header>
</POSBasket>
</Batch>
Now, when you have a parent child situation, you get a column in the output called xxx_Id, in my case, POSBasket_Id. This allows you to relate your header back to your root and SomeDetail back to header etc etc.
Loading all of this in parrallel does not work because there is nothing unique once the load has happened more than once. i.e. You will have repeating POSBasket_Id's as well as Header_Id's.
I ended up loading POSBasket into a table with an identity column. Once done, I would load the header details and do a lookup (eek) on the POSBasket table by using POSbasket_Id "where isComplete = 0" (A flag to tell me current import).
Great, this works find with 1 item in my document. Add a second (2 POSBaskets) and it randomly works. (???) Add more and it hardley works. The look ups are failing with "no match found".
On using Data Views, I see that each XML source creates different POSBasket_Id's. Some matching, some not. Also seem to randomly match.
My question is why? Why would there be the ID if they differ when loading them from the same document? They not even unique across sources.
Bug or "by design"?
Anyone got a better method for doing this?
Cheers,
Crispin
Supose I have two records in a parent-child relationsuip (actually I have many more such records). Does SSIS offer any support ask for inserting one record into the parent table, the other into the child table, and updating the foreign key of the child to point to the parent?
TIA,
Barkingdog
P.S. I have to do just this as part of the datawarehouse test I'm running. Seems like a common task but I don't recall anything in SSIS addressing the issue.
Hi
I have having trouble getting my hands around how to retrieve variables from a parent package. I read about the Environment variables and Configuration File at the parent package level and the Parent Package variable at the child level.
Here are my questions:
1. Can you only store/retrieve 1 variable in a config file at a time?
2. Does the child package have to define the variables and if so, do they have to be the same names as the parent package?
This seems so more more complex then the DTS2000 way of passing variables to and from packages.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I have set up an FTP connection that tests successfully. I can log on to the FTP site with the same credentials and see my root folder, and within that, two more folders. In my FTP task, I want to receive files to my local machine. The problem is that the only remote path available is not at the root level, and the only thing I can see are files from one of the child folders, but not the child folder I want.
Is it possible in the remote path to change folders? The remote path just shows a "/", which I thought would be the root level, but it is somehow linked to a child folder.I've tried various combinations to get to the folder I want, /root folder/child folder, but that gives the error that the folder does not exist.
If I open the FTP Task Editor, click on File Transfer, and click the ellipses for the Remote Path, the Browse For File box opens, with a "/" in the Location section, and a list of files in the child folder that I do not want to be in. If I click the "Up Directory" button, I get the message "Already at top level directory".
how I can get the files from one particular folder on the FTP site?
I've not really used SSIS for a while, and I'm now building some in 2012 and trying to utilise some of the features in the 2012 SSIS catalogue; however I've hit a bit of a stumbling block.
What I'm trying to do is have a master/child package relationship, with several child packages and where the child packages themselves are dynamically called (i.e. the master package may call a different child package based upon some value or state of data already processed.)
When I try and create an expression for the PackageNameFromProject property... well, that property doesn't appear to set dynamically. I know how to do this for old style packages by creating expressions for the package name etc; but that way I can't use the package parameters I have from my master package.
Hi,
I having a problem getting the child package variable values into a parent package. Here is the scenario;
I have parent package(Master) calling two child packages using execute package task. I have no problem to pass variable values from the parent to child using the parent configuration but not able to get the variable values from the child to parent. I am setting the package status in each child package based on certain conditions and determine the final status in a parent based on child package variable statuses. Does any body have any idea? I will appreciate your thoughts.Thanks..Mako

How to pass variable from Parent to child and child to Parent Packages  is this possible in SQL SSIS 2012. I need this only in SSIS 2012 ...
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have installed Office 2007 Beta 2 and SQL Server 2005 at my system.
I made 2 packages (C:Package.dtsx, C:Package1.dtsx). I am executing Package1 inside Package.dtsx using Executing Package Task.
In package1.dtsx there is some configuration that is coming at runtime(For each loop container having some file connections) , so I have put DelayValidation property of this package to True, but that did not work when I called this package from Package1.dtsx, then I found one workaround, I changed the ExecuteOutOfProcess of ExecutePacakge task to True,
Now the problem is that before installing Office 2007 the both were executing fine (it was taking some time in starting the second package because of OutOfProcess execution).
After installing Office 2007 I get the following error while executing the second package from first package.
Error: Error 0x800703E6 while loading package file "C:Package1.dtsx". Invalid access to memory location. .
This problem comes whenever the I execute the package having OutOfProcess property to true.
Is there any workaround for this, or I am wrong somewhere.
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys
I need help, I am building an Intranet for my company, and we have a system here that we use to clock in and clock out, and the data is stored in an Access database. Now the HR manager needs to run a report weekly for all the temps to see what time they clocked in and out. I have designed a web form where he puts in the date from and date to and select the employee, BUT the problem is I'm using SQL Server, I import the Access database to SQL every morning. Now I need to know How can I have Job in SQL that will import the data automatically without me having to do it manually every morning.
How do I do this using SSIS and DTS I'm using SQL Server 2005.
Thanx guys, plz help

Hi am trying to import data from a excel file into my 2005 DB using a SSIS package.
This first thing i've done is create a Excel source and then a derived column task as i need to format my date, so am using substring to format the date but the expression am using will not work am geting a error on it
the data in the excel file is like 8122007
here is my expression
substring(date,1,1) +"/"+ substring(date,2,2) +"/"+ substring(date,4,7)
Any idea i think it's something got to do with the data type
I'm trying to import a text file into a table. The table has a nullable bit field. The corresponding field in the file has Y/N rather than 1/0. I'm getting an error on that column "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.". So I'm assuming I need to convert the Y/N to a 1/0 under the "derived columns" step. Is that correct and can someone tell me how to do that exactly?
Thanks
I can use MS Access to import an XML file and it builds the columns and loads the data. I am trying to use SQL Server 2005 to do the same thing and there doesn't seen to be a way to easily accomplish the same task that works so well in Access.
Has anyone tried this? If so and you were successful, what were the steps to set up the package?
Thanks.
Dear friends,
I am trying to import dbf files (which were located in one directory) to SQL Server 2005. All are same structure. So I have to import all files into one single table of SQL Server 2005.
ISSUE 1: dBASE is not supporting directly by 2005 .
DETAILS: 2005 is not allowing directly dBASE files to import but one way I found i.e changing extendend properties in connection manager. But this is for single file only. I have to import all files located in directory.
ISSUE2: Same destination table is not allowing by 2005
DETAILS: All dbf files are having same structure. I have to import them into single table of SQL Server 2005. But it is giving the error while I am using SSIS wizard like "same destination is not allowed and destination table must be unique"
So, plz help me to resolve this issue.
seeking for ur reply asap (very urgent need)

I can't import a package from the SSIS to the file system of my SQL Server Management Studio. Every time i've tried the following message appears. What should i do to correct this problem? Any ideas?
===================================
Invalid access to memory location. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703E6) (Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS)

In SQL 2000, I had a working DTS package that would import a Pervasive SQL database into SQL 2000 (There is a good reason, provided on request). The column type definitions came over just fine in SQL 2000 with a few minor changes.
In SQL 2005 (SSIS), i create a Data Source via the Connection Manager (Provider: .Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider) to the Pervasive database (System DSN, <database_odbc>). I then create a Data Destination via the Connection Manager (Provider: Native OLE DBSQL Native Client) to the SQL database. Both databases reside on the same machine.
I've created a DataSource Reader and used the sql command, "select * from ARCustomer" as an example. The issue is with "data types" for the columns. They don't come close to resembling the results that i had in SQL 2000 DTS.
Is there another method or parameter setting that will preserve the "data types" for the columns being imported from the Pervasive database.
This has been a real stumbling block and any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your assistance ... Bernie
Okay... I am now about to pull my hair out: something that worked VERY EASILY in Server 2000 doesn't seem to work at all in 2005. I am trying to pump an Excel table into a 2005 database. I go into the Visual Studio Integration Services Project (this is so much easier... cynicism) and set up a project. I have my data source (Excel), I have my destination (SQL Natve Server, database). I set it up the same way that it worked (perfectly) in DTS and I run it... it grinds away and reports back that all is well... no errors. I go looking for the table... not there. I try with an SA login VS windows authentication... not there. I try with a different table... no there. I try with a different database... not there.
I am certain you can imagine the frustration... that is, if you are a user, not a programmer at Microsoft.
Okay, okay... I won't launch in to abuse here... but hey, how do I make this very complicated process now work?
Thanks...
I want to read data from a XML into SQL Server database tables "tour" and "stop".
There is a 1:n relation between tour and stop.
(a shortened XML sample, relation Tour : Stop = 1 : n)
<Tour>
<Mandator>mein kunde</Mandator>
<TourNoPlan>TNP_1</TourNoPlan>
<TourNo>1</TourNo>
<Stop>
<StopNo>SN_1</StopNo>
<GPSGeoDec>+8.0000,+48.0000</GPSGeoDec>
</Stop>
<Stop>
<StopNo>SN_2</StopNo>
<GPSGeoDec>+8.3000,+48.5000</GPSGeoDec>
</Stop>
</Tour>
I am able to insert elements from <Tour> into the table "tour" with the data flow in the Integration Services. But I need the values from the tag <TourNoPlan> in the rows for the table stop (it is the foreign key) in the second step. How can I get the values in the SSIS from the <Tour> in the dataflow for the different <stop>? It is a hierarchicle structure - normal for a XML. Is there a sample for reading such a XML into a Database? I have tried it with [Tour::TourNoPlan] or similar, but it was wrong. Second try was setting a UserVariable in the tour dataflow to the actual value of the TourNoPlan and using it in the data flow for the stop tags - but only a setting in a script at PostExecution was possible - to late.
I think a very simple problem and the same for each XML Import. Any ideas ???
Thanks and Best regards

I am going to set up a new SSIS package that will import data into 5 different tables on a SQL Server database. Â The source of the data is on another SQL Server and I will use to select the data. Â If one of the tables fail to import I do not want the SSIS package to import any of the data.What is the best way to create this package? Â Is it best to create one SSIS package, with five data flow tasks that are linked to each other. Â Within each data flow task, is a Source and Destination to transfer the data to each table. Â
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm currently trying to pull data from a ProvideX database and replicate it in a collection of SQL Server tables. However, I'm having a heck of a time trying to convert some strange decimals stored by the ProvideX database. As an example of the data I'm trying to retrieve, I'll see something like [. 1] or [. 1] ([]'s are to show the bounds of the field). After analyzing the data, it seems the decimal in the field represents a 1,000 placeholder. Thus [. 1] really means 1, and [. 1] really means 10. Something like .100 would be 100. 6.500 would be 6500.
As you can imagine, the spaces are causing errors when trying to pull the data, and I can't for the life of me figure out to just pull it as a string, run a script to convert it to a correct number, and then save the transformed data into SQL Server. When running the import wizard, it seems I'm being forced to pull these columns as decimals. Currently I'm trying to just pull the data out "as is" and throw it in a raw file, to be processed out of SSIS. Obviously doing it all within SSIS would be ideal, but if that can't be done, I'll do whatever it takes. I should also say I'm new to SSIS packages, but not necessarily new to SQL Server or SQL in general.
1) How can I pull these columns as strings? If I try to change the Export columns in the source query data flow step, it gives me an error saying that I can't do that.
2) If I have to pull as decimals, how can I capture the row on error, process it, and send it back to the export? So far, when I get an error, I lose all information in the row to the right of and including the error field.
I appreciate any responses, as I'm kind of going in circles at this point. If this sort of thing has been discussed here prior, I apologize...I didn't find it in any searches I did. Please just point me in the right direction if you've dealt with this sort of problem before. It seems to me that it should be an easy thing to do. I'm just not finding any tutorials on it.
hi,
i am importing files using SSIS but i notice that attributes that are empty are imported as ZERO lentgh character instead of NULL.
is there some option that i can choose for maintaining nulls instead of a char() type? i though this was the default setting with DTS.
many thanks,
