Intellectual Property Question
Jul 20, 2005
I have been asked to prepare a feasibility study for an upgrade to a
VB app that uses a SQL server db.
The application is thin client, with about 100 sites connecting via
terminal services. 99% of the processing and business logic is done
using stored procedures.
The application is a highly configured version of an off-the-shelf
product.
The company would like me to quote for redesigning the front end, but
for this to interface to the existing db structure. However, the
original developer regards the database structure, particularly the
stored procedures, as her intellectual property.
Anyone have any idea how I (and the company who have asked me to do
the work) stand legally? Obviously I don't want to get lawyers
involved unless absolutely necessary (for example, if we clearly don't
have a leg to stand on, then there's no point in paying some shyster
Ł300 an hour to tell me what I already know.)
TIA

Hi All,
I would like to build a standard BI solution based on MS SQL2008 - integration services, analysis service and reoprting services.
This stardard BI solution can be distributed to multi customers - however I want to protect the source code so customers cant access the code.
I would like to be able to ecrypt or protect the solution - so the customer only get the "executable" but they cant access the soruce code. This is to protect my intellectual property.
Kindly advise if there are any way to achive this objective in SQL2008.
I did some research in SQL 2005 long time back - but I was unable to find resolution to protect the intellectual property.
I would be extremely pleased to get some good advise on how to protect IP in SQL 2008.
Thanks heaps, Thomas

Dear All,
How is it possible to protect the Intellectual property for a integration / analysis project?
For instance if I build a complex solution €“ how do I avoid others to view and copy the solution.

I am having problems exporting data into a flat file using specific code page. My application has a variable "User::CodePage" that stores code page value (936, 950, 1252, etc) based on the data source. This variable is assigned to the CodePage property of desitnation file connection using Property expression.
But, when I execute the package, the CodePage property of the Destination file connection defaults to the initial value that was set for "User:CodePage" variable in design mode. I checked the value within the variable during runtime and it changes correctly for each data source. But, the property of the destinatin file connection doesn't change and results in an error.
[Flat File Destination [473]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Column01" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The ProcessInput method on component "Flat File Destination" (473) failed with error code 0xC02020A0. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running.
If I manually update the variable with correct code page and re-run the ETL, everything works fine. Just that it doesn't work during run-time mode.
Can someone please help me resolve this.
Thanks much.

Hi,
I developed a simple custom control flow component which has several read/write properties and one readonly property (lets call it ROP) whichs Get method simple returns the value of a private variable (VAR as string). In the Execute method the VAR has a value assigened. When I put the value of ROP or VAR into MsgBox I can see the correct value. However when I execute the component I can not see the value of the ROP in the property window. I see the property but its value is empty string. For example when I put a breakpoint to postexecute or check the property before click OK in a MsgBox I would expect that the property value would be updated in SSIS as well. Is there a way how to display correct values of custom tasks properties in property window?
Thanks for any hints.

Untill recently I had a smooth running SSIS package,but suddenly it throws error syaing
"OnError,,,,,,,The result of the expression
"@[User:trTextFileImpDirectory] +"SomeTextStringHere"+ @[User:trANTTextFileName] +(DT_STR,30,1252) @[User:taging_Date_Key]+ "SomeTextStringHere"
" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property."
I have child SSIS package running under a parent package (through execute package task)
I have few flat file connection managers in child package for text file import , in which I am building text file path dynamically at run time by assigning an expression in connection string property of connection manager.
The Expression is as follows
"@[User:trTextFileImpDirectory] +"SomeTextStringHere."+ @[User:trANTTextFileName] +(DT_STR,30,1252) @[User:taging_Date_Key]+ +"SomeTextStringHere"
Where @[User:trTextFileImpDirectory] is a variable which contains path of directory containg text
files.Value in this variable is assigned at runtime from parent package's variable,which in turns fetch
value from a configuration file on local server.
With my current configuration this path has been configured to some other server's directory over network ( I.e my package picks text files from some other servers folder over network)
While
"Some string here"+ @[User:trANTTextFileName]" part of file name string.
(DT_STR,30,1252) @[User:taging_Date_Key] Contain the date of processing ,value in this variable is also picked up at run time from parent package variable.
1) So can someone give me some insight into possible reason of failures.
2) Is it possible that problem arises if directory (from which I m picking text files) is assigned password or is there exist some problem in accessing forlders over network ?
3) Or there can be some problem in package configuration at design time( I.e where I m assigning value in variable from parent package vriables)?

Hello,
I have a group I'll call G4.
The header table row for G4 contains 3 textboxes containing the sums of the contents within G4. The header table row for G4 is visible while it's contents, including the G4 footer table row, is kept invisible until the report user drills down into the group.
When the report user drills down into G4 the footer table row becomes visible and the sums of the contents of the group are displayed for a second time.
At this point I want the sums in the header to be set to invisible when the sums in the footer are made visible by the drilldown.
When I try to reference the hidden property of textbox66 in the G4 footer in order to set the hidden property of header textbox57 in the G4 header I get to this point...
=IIF(reportitems!textbox66.
When it fails to give me an option of choosing the .Hidden property and instead only gives me a .Value.
If I complete the IIF statement manually so that it spells out .....
=IIF(ReportItems!Textbox66.Hidden = False, True, False)
...the report chokes on it.
So my question is, how do I reference the hidden property of one or more textboxes in a group to use as condition checks to set the hidden property of another textbox in that same group?
Thank you for any help you can provide. We are only now beginning to implement reporting services and I have not yet had the chance to research this in greater detail for lack of time.

I am use Reporting services 2000 SP2 and discover that the LineHeight property rendered correctly only in renderers for HTML output. PDF renderer, TIFF renderer and client side printing client do not render changes in this property at all.
Is it bug in Reporting services 2000?
Can someone try to change LineHeight property in SQL Server 2005 Reporting services and verify rendering output?

Hello.
within a data flow task I have two OLE DB sources that I am attempting to put into a merge join.
When I connect them to the merge join transformation I get the following error:
The IsSorted property must be set to true on both sources of this transformation.
I understand what this means but I cannot see an IsSorted option in the properties of the OLE DB sources so I can't set it. Can you tell me where it is? for the time being I'm having to put a sort transform in to get it to work.
Thanks

We want to use our styles say "mystyle" on a report. I am surprised that we do not have cssstylename as a property for a textbox?
Ideally, i should be able to add that style in the styles.css file and reference the style name on the textbox. All that would be needed is that it would add an attribute to the rendered html. I wonder if it already exists and i am missing some information?

I'm trying to figure out this repeatwith property setting. I have a row of textboxes that are labels at the top of the body of my report. Under this row is a list box "LstCategory" with a sublist "SubLstCategory". I set the repeatwith to LstCategory.
When I preview the report in VS it doesn't. When I publish this report in Report Manager it does. When I export from Report Manager (In PDF Format) it doesn't.
What do I have to do so it will repeat in Reporting Services?
Is it normal that In Report Manager that what you view does not export the same way?
I'm new at this altogether. About 4 months in SQL and 1 month with Reporting Services. So be gentle.

Card Gunner

In short, I have a couple grid views on a page that are used for editing as well as sorting, etc. The grids are setup to use the SqlDataSources. I'm trying to deploy this to a server environment for different instances (test,cert,prod) and am trying to set the ConnectionString for the SqlDataSource in the code behind (Page_Load()). Everything works well, except, I get an error message that says the "ConnectionString Property Has Not Been Initialized." Its a javascript alert coming up on top of the grid view.
Here is how I'm trying to set the ConnString in the Page_Load():this.EmployeeTimeCardDataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[connStr].ConnectionString;
Here is an example of the DataSource.<asp:SqlDataSource ID="EmployeeTimeCardDataSource" runat="server" SelectCommand="sp_Select_Managers_Employees_List" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure"> <SelectParameters> <asp:SessionParameter Name="CurrentUser" SessionField="User" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters></asp:SqlDataSource>

Hi all
This is the code in my web.config file.
<appSettings> <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=127.0.0.1;database=testdb;uid=sa;pwd=sa"/> </appSettings>
When I'm connecting to the sqlserver database,the page shows that The ConnectionString property has not been initialized.
The code that I used to get the "ConnectionString" as belows
using System.Configuration;
protected static string connectionString =ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ConnectionString"];
public static object GetSingle(string SQLString,params SqlParameter[] cmdParms) { using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString)) { using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand()) { try { PrepareCommand(cmd, connection, null,SQLString, cmdParms); object obj = cmd.ExecuteScalar(); cmd.Parameters.Clear(); if((Object.Equals(obj,null))||(Object.Equals(obj,System.DBNull.Value))) { return null; } else { return obj; } } catch(System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException e) { throw new Exception(e.Message); } } } }
These code works well on my machine.When running on my colleague's machine ,the page show that exception.
Any ideal?

My IT dept set up an SQL db on a server for me and I am connected to it through a port. They told me I had to create my tables through an MS Access adp, which I have done. I am using VWD Express and am trying to create a login page using usernames and pw's from a db table. I am connected (at least the db Explorer tab shows I am) to the MS Access adp and can drop a GridView from my Employees table from it onto a page and get results. I keep getting the "ConnectionString property not initialized" error message pointing to my sqlConn.Open() statement and cannot figure out why. I have looked at hundreds of posts but can't seem to find anything that works.
