Integration Services :: Database Comparison Using SSIS
Jul 1, 2015
Can we compare two databases using SSIS?
I have to compare two databases using SSIS and ( including table schema and data). ls it out the difference in data between two databases. How we can do this using SSIS ?
I have a requirement to compare data between two tables in SQL Server.
What is the fastest way to do it using SSIS? There are approx 6~7 millions of records in each table.
My solution: Read both the tables and store the data in Object Type variable. Then run an except query. But I am stuck at except query part. How do I implement it?
I am in the process of learning SSIS to step into a business intelligence role in my company, which is a Microsoft CRM/GP VAR. I plan to use SSIS for building data warehouses. However, I'm aware that my company also uses a tool called Scribe to integrate data from non-CRM systems into Microsoft CRM. Can anyone explain to me the difference between SSIS and Scribe? Can SSIS reasonably accomplish what my company now uses Scribe to do? Mostly, Scribe seems to be used for scheduled one- or two-way scheduled data pushes.
Have Visual Studio 2008 R2 with SP 2 installed. Due to a merger we now have a MySQL database that we need to update from SSIS. Everything works except for the table insert or update. Would upgrading to SP 3 or SP 4 maybe useful with that?
We have installed the latest driver from MySQL. Have tried the ADO.Net and ODBC drivers with similar results when we try to update the database.
I've just imported some SSIS packages onto my instance but my users aren't able to run the jobs for these packages (if thats the write terminology) it keeps failing with this error: Non-SysAdmins have been denied permission to run DTS Execution job steps without a proxy account. The step failed.
I've been looking around and I've been told I can assign the logins to the database roles in msdb but when I look for the roles in msdb they don't exist. SSIS is definitely installed on the server. How do I go about getting these added?
The Database Trasnfer Task has failed with the following error......failed with the following error: "Invalid object name 'dbo.exampleViewName.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I have a general question I need a few pointers or explanations. I have a top level Data Flow query in a SSIS package that has been running for years for which I have made some minor changes to pull additional fields and rectify a filter condition.
I have noticed that when I run this same query, exactly as entered in the Data Flow task, in the SQL Server 2012 Management Studio, the query returns some 105,000+ records but when run in development by executing the package the top level task only indicates some 21,000 records returned. Since there was not other transformations or filtering performed, I had expected the same record count and am not getting it.
I need to convert an access 2000 database to access 2013 and then load the data into a sql server 2012 database. Thus any urls (links) that will show me how to accomplish the following in an SSIS package:
1. Convert an access 2000 database to access 2013 database? 2. Load the converted Access 2013 database into sql server 2012?
I am trying to dynamically change my initial catalog in a SSIS project. Each day I get a snapshot of data from the production server. I am performing ETL on that database and loading it into my warehouse. I am trying to put something together so that each day I get the latest snapshot and if its newer then my most recent one I pass that new catalog into the connection manager. I can already run the sql script to compare the two catalogs but I can't populate the connection manager.
We are using SQL Server 2014 and SSDT-BI 2013. We have a reporting environment where business users create objects which need to be persisted for fiscal year reporting. Let's say for instance SQLSERVER1SRVR1 they create table objects like below in the reporting environment.
Accounting2014, Accounting2015 in AccountingDB; Sales2014, Sales2015 in SalesDB; Products2014, Products2015 in ProductsDB; Inventory2014, Inventory2015 in InventoryDB etc....
These tables are persisted for auditing in a different environment SQLSERVER2SRVR2 for finance & audit folks.We would want to automate this process using SSIS to create tables in corresponding database and load data. I tried using For Each Loop container but the catch is I could loop the source or destination but how do we loop on Source & Destination at the same time (i.e when source is in AccountingDB destination to be AccountingDB, source SalesDB then destination SalesDB so on etc....
I have an excel sheet containing one column (ID_NO) with 400K rows. I have a database from where I have to fetch some other columns from a Netezza database. Initially I tried hardcoding all the 400K rows in the query that I wrote using filter WHERE ID IN ('1212','2334'). But after pasting all the 400K rows the query is running indefinitely.
I have imported all the ID in a SQL table (MY_LIST table). I used a DFT, and selected ODBC source, and selected my netezza server. Then in the 'Data access mode' I selected the SQL command from the dropdown.I pasted the same query that I wrote in Netezza. Is there any way to pull only for those records that I have pulled in my SQL table (MY_LIST) ?
I want to achieve the following in (SSIS/SSDT for SQL 2012) -
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.
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
if there is any way to accurately size a single server using SSIS. The server will be a virtual machine. The data being loaded will be approximately 200 MB per load with loading to a 150 GB database on a separate server.
I have scheduled SSIS package through Sql Agent and when I right click on job start job as step package runs successfully but when I schedule job it dosent run.
Can anyone help regarding the SQL server integration Services(SSIS), ETL We have requirement like this: We have Live Database( LIVE_DB ) and Reports Database (REP_DB) I want to trasfer the few tables data from LIVE_DB into the REP_DB for end of the day using SSIS If any new records are added, updated or deleted in LIVE_DB, these should reflect in the REP_DB, Our requirement is not to delete the old data, we should append or delete or insert the new transaction data in REP_DB.
Thanks in advance, if anyone help me in resolving this issue.
I have a maintenance plan which consist db full backup and log backup ( in two subplans), I execute both on SQL agent, and both failed.The DB Log Backup : DB FULL BACKUP LOG:
I have a ssis package with an oledb connection using windows authentication. i want to understand when i promote this package to the server and add it to a job, then a user login to the server with sql server authentication and run this job. Which/what windows authentication this package gonna to use to connect to the server ?
I have installed VS community edition 2013 on a widows 7 PC. When I try to create a ssis package the ssis tool bar comes up empty.It just says "loading" on the panel .
Win 7 SP1 x64 PC. I installed SQL Server 2014 Dev Edition + Visual Studio 2015.
I'd like to create some basic ETL SSIS packages, and I worked very comfortably in 2008R2.
For 2014, I started with this tutorial:[URL]However, it says to go to Start->All Programs->Microsoft SQL Server->SQL Server Data Tools.
I did explicitly install SSDT when I installed VS2015. I also installed it separately. I see SSDT listed in Programs, and SSIS is running according to SQL Server Config Manager, and Services. Half of Microsoft's docs seem to be 2012 era, which is a shame because 2014 is out and it's nearly 2016...
how do I get to the GUI where I can design ETL packages?
We'll be using 2014 enterprise to populate some excel spreadsheets. We may not have the option of using ssrs so here is the question.
The excel spreadsheets have some pretty fancy heading structures, multiple tabs and in a few cases graphs that i'm sure are dependent on data sitting somewhere in the spreadsheet. The heading have variable info in them (eg FYxx where xx is a parameterized fiscal year, month names etc). Sometimes those headings have sub headings (with variable info) and so on.
Generally speaking how (if at all) do folks deal with this kind of excel challenge when limited to using ssis? I don't know if templates are going to be a good idea. I don't know if i'll be looking at a fair amount of c# etc code behind the scenes. I can be more specific depending on the feedback.
This is part of a conversion from 2 of the larger BI and statistical tools out there to the MS sql stack. Obviously with some shortcuts that we may wish we didn't take.
we have a table with xml column. This column has a large xml data . I am trying to use ssis to import xml from sql column (table a) to destination (another table).
steps which i did in ssis:
1. execute sql task:
fetch the xml column by query and store "full result set" into an object variable.
2. foreach loop:
select Ado enumerator option and select variable which has reset set of execute sql task. In variable mapping selected a new variable of type string.
when I run package I get below error:
"Error: ForEach Variable Mapping number 1 to variable "User::variable" cannot be applied".
I have a ETL ( SSIS ) Process in which i am loading around 150 tables in each run. ( Truncate and Insert ). I have four packages each from different sources. ( Each package loads different tables and different numbers )These are run on weekly basis one after the other. Each package is taking around 60 to 90 minutes each. Now i want to track the progress of the ETL on my front End application.
We want this in two ways.
First Way : I need to show the user how much percent of ETL Process is completed
Second Way : I need to show the No of tables completed and how many rows have been completed in the ongoing table ( which is in process )
Im newto SSIS. I want to develop package for data validation.
FirstName
1. Mandatory field checking: if Null, reject the record 2. If field length > 50, then reject the record
SSN
1. If field length > 12, then reject the record 2. If SSN is not in valid format, issue warning and process rhe record without SSN value. 3. Valid format: 9 digit numeric values should present after striping off all non-numeric characters. 4. Only send 9 digits to MDM
Like these i have 30 rules. And I have to shop the error msg if the validation fails like "Mandatory feild is missing".
I'm unable to find a solution to this truncation error on google.This happens only on one field which has comments. The offending Excel row/column has text that was entered in two lines i.e they entered the data and pressed "enter" and wrote a new line in the same row.Im using an Excel file source in SSIS and an OLEDB Destination (SQL Server) but one column keeps erroring out and I have tried to do the following:
1) Change output column width in advanced editor (still errors)
2) Data conversion tool between the source and destination (still errors)
