Hello,
Once in a while we receive this error from a script task in an SSIS package that runs from a scheduled job:
Unable to receive files using "FTPConnMngr".
A search on google yielded nothing. Has anyone encountered this error, and/or what are some possible causes?
Thank you
I have this problem occuring intermittently:When I try to add a package to the project, and click on the Packagepath button.

Sometime I get an empty list box.Similar to this happens when I execute a package also. When I executeit 2nd or 3 rd time it works fine. The error happens only when I amtrying to connect to the serverdatabase.

Hi,
I have a classic ASP app that loops through a record set and calls another query based on each record returned. Something like:
sSql = User Query
rsUser = conn.execute(sSql)
do while not rsUser.eof
sSql = Select [Type] From [User Types Display] Where UserId = rsUser(€œUserid€?)
rsType = conn.execute(sSql)
€˜ Put information into HTML table
rsType.Close
rsUser.MoveNext
loop
In general, at around 3575-4000 loops, the system kicks back :
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
UserList.asp Line 300
I get no error message in the SQL Server Logs (according to the server, nothing happened), just this message on my ASP page. This happens about 90% of the time. 5% it runs completely, the other 5% bombs after 1-100 loops.
This only started happening when we took our app from a local Server 2000/SQL 2000 setup to separate Server 2003/SQL 2005 setup.
In SQL Profiler I see the loops hitting with only two reads per batch (TCP/IP). This seems very low compared to named pipes (when in a local server configuration) reads of 15-30 reads per batch.
I know it is not a hardware issue; this behavior is observed in both our test and production environments. All of our other ASP page queries work fine, just the 2 or 3 of hundreds that loop like above. cause the error.
Client Details (as best I could):
Connection String (in .inc file): conn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Network=DBMSSOCN;Data Source=10.0.1.100;Initial Catalog=€™TestDB';User ID='XXXX';Password='XXXX'"
The Client is Remote to the SQL machine and connects through TCP/IP only.
I force no encryption on the back and forth between the servers.
Server Details:
SQL Server 2005 Standard with SP1
Only Named Pipes and TCP/IP are enabled
I think this is all the info relative to my issue.
Thank you so much for any help,Smith
I'm getting an intermittent error 'DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER' when attempting to connect to an Access mdb. We have a weekly package that fails almost every other week. The package uses a FileSystem task to copy an Access mdb which we use as a template. It has a single table structure which is empty. The FileSystem copy task creates the 'clone' in a different folder with a new file name. The new file name has the current date embedded in it. The next task is a DataFlow task which fills the single Access table with data. It uses an OLE_DB connection to the Access mdb. Since the destination mdb is created at runtime in the FileSystem task, I have set the DelayValidation = True for the DataFlow task. The package is called from a 'master' package via an Execute Package Task. The master package is launched from a web application. Interestingly, when I use the 'restart from checkpoint' feature it restarts the package at the DataFlow task and runs it successfully. I have used the 'restart from checkpoint' after each failure and it has always worked. When I try to isolate the problem in a test package I am unable to reproduce the error. Our SqlServer version is Enterprise Edition (64-bit) with SP2.
Anyone have a similar experience? Thanks in advance.
have done several SQL_CLR stored procs.
on one of them, get an intermittent error

Problem is that it is intermittent - runs fine several times(takes c 30 secs to run, returns 15k records), then fails, then runs ok, fails/runs/runs/fails etc... etc...
any ideas on how to track / catch this one

Hi,
I'm in the process of writing a fairly complex SSIS package that reads csv files and goes on to load the content into a SQL Server 2005 database.
I am testing the package by executing it from within a Nant script. My test process resets the data in the target database and then loads data from a known set of test data files. Because it's scripted I can be sure that SSIS is being asked to do the same thing, every time in a consistent way.
When I execute the package I frequently (although not always) get an error message dialog mid-ececution that reads:
Code Snippet
Microsoft Visual c++ Runtime Library
Runtime error!
Program: C...
The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
When I click OK the VS Just-In-Time debugger tells me about an unhandled win32 exception in DTExec.exe [4696] and asks me if I wish to debug (which I do not).
No error is reported by SSIS itself, it literally just stops in its tracks.
I will appreciate any help that can be offered here

We are experiencing intermittent authentication errors "Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 10" on a customer's production server. This is a new server that has just been rolled out in the past several months. Rebooting the server appears to make the problem go away. We are using SQL authentication from a separate server that is running IIS. The application always uses the same username and password to connect.

Greetings,
I have a VB 2003 .NET application that I wrote for a customer that connects to a named instance of SQL 2000. Until recently it has been working fine. Lately the program either pops a timeout failure within a few seconds or a general network error. I've increased the connection timeout settings to 90 seconds but the error still pops within a few seconds. I'm thinking something has changed in the environment that prevents a clean connection to the named instance of SQL server.
How should this issue be troubleshoot to determine the problem and what areas need to be looked at?
Thanks
I receive the following error message when I try to use the Bulk Insert Task to load BCP data into a table:
Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 4. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.Bulk load data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 1 (rowno).".
Task failed: Bulk Insert Task
In SSMS I am able to issue the following command and the data loads into a TableName table with no error messages:
BULK INSERT TableName
FROM 'C:DataDbTableName.bcp'
WITH (DATAFILETYPE='widenative');
What configuration is required for the Bulk Insert Task in SSIS to make the data load? BTW - the TableName.bcp file is bulk copy file as bcp widenative data type. The properties of the Bulk Insert Task are the following:
DataFileType: DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_WideNative
RowTerminator: {CR}{LF}
Any help getting the bcp file to load would be appreciated. Let me know if you require any other information, thanks for all your help.

Hi,
I am trying to create a simple BI Application for SSIS. In Visual Studio 2005 I just get a Data Flow Task from the toolbar and add it to the project. When I double click it I get the following error:
The task with the name "Data Flow Task" and the creation name "DTS.Pipeline.1" is not registered for use on this computer.
Then when I try to delete it it gives this other error:
Cannot remove the specified item because it was not found in the specified Collection.
I am creating this application in an administrator account in this computer, so I doubt the problem is related to permissions. I am running SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 in WinXP Tablet PC Edition.
Any suggestions why this is happening and how to fix it?
Hi,
I'm trying to get a record count out of a databse using OLE DB Source and row count tasks but keep getting an error. I set up a variable as int32 and select the variable name in the row count task and when I go to the Input Columns tab to select a field to count, it gives me this error:
Error at Data Flow Task[Row Count[505]]: The component "Row Count" (505) has forbidden the requested use of the input column with lineage ID 32.
I don't even know what this means?

I'm trying to use an XML Task to do a simple XSLT operation, but it fails with this error message:
[XML Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "There are multiple root elements. Line 5, position 2.".
The source XML file validates fine and I've successfully used it as the XML Source in a data flow task to load some SQL Server tables. It has very few line breaks, so the first 5 lines are pretty long: almost 4000 characters, including 34 start-tags, 19 end-tags, and 2 empty element tags. Here's the very beginning of it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ESDU releaselevel="2006-02" createdate="26 May 2006"><package id="1" title="_standard" shorttitle="_standard" filename="pk_stan" supplementdate="01/05/2005" supplementlevel="1"><abstract><![CDATA[This package contains the standard ESDU Series.]]></abstract>
There is only 1 ESDU root element and only 1 package element.
Of course, the XSLT stylesheet is also an XML document in its own right. I specify it directly in the XML Task:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"/>
<xsl:template name="identity" match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="kw">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="ihs_cats_seq" select="position()"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Its 5th line is the first xsl:template element.
What is going on here? I do not see multiple root elements in either the XML document or the XSLT stylesheet.
Thanks!
We are experiencing problems intermittently.
Users report problems of various types including timeout messages. We investigate and find a user has acquired a lock which is blocking other users.
We contact the user and they have usually completed their activity and are not always aware of any problem despite them owning a lock.
When the user logs out of the application the lock clears and the system returns to normal.
Indexes have been rebuilt, auto update statistics is on.
Does anyone have any suggestions? :cool:
I have log shipping setup to 2 different servers. Every once in a while I get the
Server: Msg 3201, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot open backup device 'E:fac.dat'. Device error or device off-line. See the SQL Server error log for more details. Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Backup or restore operation terminating abnormally.
Checked MSDN which said it was a permissions error, which isn't right, because the same account works for this db and several others all the time. Anyone else seen this?
I've a SQL server that intermittently restarts itself mostly during. Its a SQL Server 6.5 SP4 running NT 4.0 SP6. It really has no rhyme or reason to it happening. The are no indications in either the SQL or the Nt events logs.
Has anyone heard of this?
Thanks inadvance
We recently migrated a SQL 2000 DB to SQL Server 2005 SP2. We have a VB 6 executable that uses the SQL Server 2005 DB. Immediately we began getting intermittent errors when trying to run a Stored Proc on SQL 2005 DB. The two errors we see are:
Timeout expired
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
If you immediately try to run the same query, it usually will work. The queries are random and so are the errors. I have gotten the time out error in Server Management Studio a couple of times.
In the VB 6 App we are using MDAC 2.81. Her is the connection string:
Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;User ID=user;password=password;Initial Catalog=OASIS;Data Source=servername, portnumber
We added the port number to the DataSource in an attempt to troublshoot the issue, but it made no difference.
We have run sysinternals Process Monitor on a PC with the app running and we saw NAME NOT FOUND Results for Query Open actions for these DLLS:
C:Program FilesOASISCLUSAPI.DLL
C:Program FilesOASISRESUTILS.DLL
C:Program FilesOASIStdsapi.dll
C:Program FilesOASIS is the application path. Of course, they are not in the application path but they are in C:WindowsSystem32. They do not seem to be registered.
Here is an example of the code we use in a class to run a SP:
Public Function FetchPostings() As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmFetch As ADODB.Command
On Error GoTo HandleError
Set cmFetch = New ADODB.Command
With cmFetch
.Name = "FetchObligations"
.ActiveConnection = gobjSecurity.Connection 'This is a connection string not a connection object
.CommandText = "spClaimFetchObligations"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("ClaimID", adInteger, adParamInput, , mlngClaimID)
Set FetchObligations = .Execute
End With
ExitSub:
Set cmFetch = Nothing
Exit Function
HandleError:
gobjError.HandleError Err.Number, Err.Description, App.EXEName, "clsClaim", "FetchObligations", gobjSecurity.UserID
Resume ExitSub
End Function
I have VS 2005 and SQL CE 3.0. I sometimes get the a FileNotFoundException when I first use ExecuteReader. I believe this is because a dll has not been copied across because if I restart the emulator I can get it to work again.
Do I need to add a cab file/dll to my project to stop this happening?
Thanks

This is either a bug, or I am crazy.
I have developed a report that pulls its data from an SSAS cube. The report is grouped on Fields!FacilityName. On each "page" of the report, I have information for the displayed facility.
At the top of each page in my report I have a textbox whose value is =Fields!FacilityName. Further down on the report I have another text box whose value is set exactly the same. When I preview the report, I always have a value in the upper box, but only sometimes have a value in the lower box. If I change the value in the lower box to just a text string, it will always display, but when I put in the actual field reference it does not. It always doesn't display for the same facility names. Remember, the upper textbox on the form always displays 100% of the time.
I have a Dundas chart in the middle of the page on the report between these textboxes, but another field that pulls parameters and even a matrix all render correctly below that chart.
They both have the same parent according to the properties. I have even copied and pasted the working textbox further down the screen, with no improvement. When I changed the value of the textbox to "=cstr(len(Fields!FacilityName))", on the pages when it wants to be blank, it reads 0, and on other pages it shows a larger number. But the other textbox on the screen will always properly show the FacilityName.
I have also tried changing the name of the textbox, settings output to YES instead of Auto. If I slide the non-working textbox up to the top of the page and the working textbox down to the bottom area of the page, the bevavior switches.
Does anybody know of rendering issues with textboxes showing the same infomation?

We are using HTTPS anonymous merge subscriptions....
Sometimes when trying to synchonise, we will get the following error messages returned to the subscriber....
The upload message to be sent to Publisher '**thewebserver**' is being generated

The Merge Agent could not connect to the URL 'https://**thewebserver**/client/replisapi.dll' during Web synchronization. Please verify that the URL, Internet login credentials and proxy server settings are correct and that the Web server is reachable.
The Merge Agent received the following error status and message from the Internet Information Services (IIS) server during Web synchronization: [401 :'Unauthorized']. When troubleshooting, ensure that the Web synchronization settings for the subscription are correct, and increase the internet timeout setting at the Subscriber and the connection timeout at the Web server.
If I then go to a web brower, put in the HTTPS address, it brings up the logon dialog - I put in the admin username and password to confirm the connection and that's fine.
We try and synchronise again, and this time it works - it's as though I have 'woken' it up again and it's happy to play.
Is increasing the timeouts as suggested by the error message the way to go ? If so, where does one set the 'internet timeout setting at the subscriber', and the 'connection timeout at the webserver' ?
thanks
Hello,

I'm having an issue with what appears to be SQL Server 2005 deciding to randomly ignore new connections.
I currently have two virtual servers - one running just SQL Server 2005, the other running Reporting Services, Windows Sharepoint Services and Team Foundation Server.
For 3 weeks, it was all working perfectly, then on Wednesday night the server (and both Virtual Servers) was rebooted after installing the latest updates for Windows. Since then, I've had this issue.
It will work fine for a while, then it'll start throwing loads of Errors and Warnings into the Event Log, all along the lines of unable to connect to the database. The Reporting Services Configuration utility throws up the same problem. Then randomly, it'll start working again.
If anyone has any ideas, they would be much appreciated as this is driving me crazy!
Thanks!
For some reason my SQL Server slows down throughout the day for no apparent reason..
The database is 100 gig transaction replicated to 2 data warehouses.
Ive done the usual stuff like monitoring processes killing off blocking transactions but it doesn't seem to do the trick.
There are no jobs running at the point of slow-down so at this current time I am a little lost.
Is there some way to determine why these slow-downs are happening ?
The system becomes completely un-responsive during these periods !!
HELP !! :eek:
I'm working on a DB that will be used in separate physical locations. These DBs will be identical in structure and completely independent of each other. Whilst some tables will retain similar or identical information, there is a large amount of content that will diverge.However, there is a central location that will need to manage these DBs. There will be a requirement from this central location to run reports, often comparing data between them, and to push data into each child location. There is no requirement for the child locations to 'share' information and indeed the volume concerned and the intermittent/low-bandwidth nature of their connections would make this undesirable. If an individual selection of data does need to be shared between I'm happy for it to be uploaded centrally, a decision made, and manually pushed to each child-location.
Which brings me to my real question. Should I try and include composite Primary Keys in many of the tables (to include probably an incrementing number and another field of site ID) so that when I absorb them all back centrally I can put them into one large DB. Or should I keep them as separate DBs in the central location and use some fairly 'normal' mechanisms for mirroring to sites; accepting that this will make running comparisons between them more difficult and potentially more difficult to write interactivity for centrally?
The best 'real world' comparison I can think of is transactions in retail shops. How do these transaction logs get stored centrally when they're all generating individual transaction numbers that are only unique in that location?
I'm querying a small SQL2005 database and finding that the query can sometimes complete in under a second and then 5 minutes later the same query can take 15 minutes to complete.
The query I'm running is very simple as follows:
select TOP 26 * from vSearchListOpportunityItem WHERE OpIt_OpportunityId=2495 ORDER BY Prod_Name, OpIt_OpportunityItemId
The view it is pulling data from only contains only 1890 lines, which in turn pulls data from 3 tables with 821, 2560, and 1957 lines of data. In other words it's small. I have noticed that if I try and open the smallest of these tables while on a 'go slow' period it also takes around 15 minutes to return the data.
The database was originally on SQL 2000. It is the only database on this powerful quad core server.
The SQL Server CPU usage never goes above 40%, and always has free memory.
No sign of locks.
I can't figure out why such a small database is going so slow with such a simple query. Any ideas?
This is very strange...
After installing the Advanced Services package, I started getting errors connecting to a database (.MDF) that I've been using for weeks/months.
The error was something like "login failed for machineuser". After twiddling with the connection string and starting and stopping the SQLEXPRESS service it started working again. Did some more work, everything was fine, shutdown and went to bed.
This morning, I am unable to connect to the database - nor any other database, it seems. This time I'm getting "cannot find the physical file" type errors.
Any leads on solving this would be much appreciated. I've search using the error codes and I'm not turning anything up that seems quite like the problem I'm having.

I'm having weird issues with connecting to MS SQL Server. Sometimes it can establish a connection and sometimes it can't. This is both with ODBC and with .net code. This happens on multiple computers. I.e. one minute you can connect, the next you can't.
I have a SQL 2000 server which connects fine every time. So I assume the problem is with the upgraded MS SQL Server. I want to be able to resolve this issue before upgrading the main server to SQL 2005.
In an SSB test project created from the T-SQL batch in Stuart Padley's Weblog (subtitled "SQL Server 2005 stuff I couldn't find anywhere else", http://blogs.msdn.com/stuartpa/archive/2005/07/25/443229.aspx) I found strange inconsistencies with enquing messages between two databases on the same SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition SP-1 CTP March instance running under Windows Server 2003 SE SP-1:
Sending a simple message from the Initiator to the Target database with either the SendMessageProc stored procedure or its code as a batch fails for about 50% of all tries, with varying failure patters (up to 10 sequential attempts fail). Messages for failed tries remained in the transmission_queue, but didn't appear in the InitiatorQueue or TargetQueue.
I made the following changes to Stuart's code in the SendMessageProc procedure and my SendInitiatorToTarget.sql messaging script:
1. Split out EXEC SendMessageProc from Stage 4 and all of Stage 5 into a separate batch to enable sending multiple messages without recreating all objects.
2. Changed BEGIN DIALOG to BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION
3. Added a missing END CONVERSATION statement
A simple intradatabase service based on the "Hello World" DB Engine sample run in the Northwind or AdventureWorks database behaves as expected.
The partition with SQLS 2005 SP-1 also has SSX SP-1 with Advanced Services installed. Some minor problems occured when installing SSX SP-1, so I removed the original SSX instance and reinstalled SSX SP-1. See http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2006/03/sql-server-2005-sp1-ctp-available-for.html.
The same SSMS project runs fine on a fresh install of SQLS 2005 RTM under WS 2003 SP-1 on another machine partition. (This machine isn't running VS.) No messages fail to reach the Target database, as would be expected.
Has anyone else encountered similar anomalous behavior with SSB under SP-1 CTP? This problem ran me nuts for an entire day until I finally gave up and created a new SQLS 2005 RTM test instance.

I have a 2000 / 2005 side-by-side installation on our test server.
To login to 2005 with SSMS, the connect string is
hostname/SQL2005, 1434
There's a WiFi network connecting my client PC to the network.
SSMS fails to login frequently. I need to exit SSMS, then login again. It'll work.
A new problem today - after successful login, I can't open a project and login successfully. Error messages states "Failed to Login".
Any tips?
