I searched the archives but couldn't find anything on this yet...
I am using the wizard to grab selected data from 6.5 Server1 to insert into a table on 6.5 Server2, no transformations necessary.
I've tried it two ways (actually more, but two ways will demonstrate the problem). The query I run to grab the data is search through approx 6.5 million records in poorly indexed tables, on a slow machine. Takes approximately 45 minutes to run the query alone, and right around the same to run the DTS package.
The difference between the two queries in the two different packages (all else equal), is that the first uses a variable to calculate a date to filter the where clause. The second hard codes the date in the where clause. The second works, but the first runs about 40 minutes before returning a Transfer Failed error that reads "Invalid Pointer". No error number, nothing in the Books online about the error.
The queries are as follows: *************************************** QUERY 1 (calculates the date for 11:00 PM night before last)
select s.SerialNumber as iwSerialNumber, MAX(p.ReceiptTime) AS iwLastReceived, p.PurchaseOrderNumber as iwPO, s.Revision as iwBomRev, s.PartNumber as iwPartNumber From SLOCAZ s INNER JOIN PORDRZ p ON s.SerialNumber = p.SerialNumber Where p.ReceiptTime > @DateLastReceived And ( (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'BD%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'TP%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'DM%') ) GROUP BY s.SerialNumber, p.PurchaseOrderNumber, s.Revision, s.PartNumber
*************************************** QUERY 2 (Hard codes the date)
select s.SerialNumber as iwSerialNumber, MAX(p.ReceiptTime) AS iwLastReceived, p.PurchaseOrderNumber as iwPO, s.Revision as iwBomRev, s.PartNumber as iwPartNumber From SLOCAZ s INNER JOIN PORDRZ p ON s.SerialNumber = p.SerialNumber Where p.ReceiptTime > 'Aug 29 1999 11:00PM' And ( (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'BD%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'TP%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'DM%') ) GROUP BY s.SerialNumber, p.PurchaseOrderNumber, s.Revision, s.PartNumber
***************************** I should also note that I thought maybe the hard coded date being used as a string was the difference, so I tried the following (which just converts the date back into a char variable and uses the char variable in the where clause)
select s.SerialNumber as iwSerialNumber, MAX(p.ReceiptTime) AS iwLastReceived, p.PurchaseOrderNumber as iwPO, s.Revision as iwBomRev, s.PartNumber as iwPartNumber From SLOCAZ s INNER JOIN PORDRZ p ON s.SerialNumber = p.SerialNumber Where p.ReceiptTime > @CharLastReceived And ( (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'BD%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'TP%') OR (p.PurchaseOrderNumber Like 'DM%') ) GROUP BY s.SerialNumber, p.PurchaseOrderNumber, s.Revision, s.PartNumber
************************************ This still didn't work...
Any Ideas on what is happening and/or how to fix it??? Amy
Hello, I am working on a dll that is being loaded by browsers. I have to check if the hostname of a requested page is in a database containing sites that have to be blocked. I am using the following code to connect to the db:
The strange thing is that this code is running fine with Internet Explorer but when the dll is loaded by Firefox pConn->Open() fails with Invalid pointer error. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Martin
i want to conncet to a ms sql server,but the debug info: "invalid pointer!" is there any problems in my coding? by debugging, i know the problem must lie in the variant strConnect. i use ms sql server 2000+ winxp+ visual c++6.0
_bstr_t strConnect="Provider=SQLOLEDB; TRUSTED_CONNECTION=TRUE;//use windows log in Initial Catalog=....../*database name*/; Data Source=SJTU-3V87CA6SZP";//server name m_pConnection->Open(strConnect,"","",adModeUnknown);
I used the DTSmigration wizard to transfer DTS jobs from SQL2000 to SQL2005. The wizard transfered the old DTP packages without error but now I cannot access some of them. The old DTS packages had names of the form <program_name>**<output_type> for example JM-102**excell. When I try to access (or delete) the new packages in SSIS I get the error:
The path is not valid. Parameter name: packagePath (MsDtsSrvr)
I am by no means a "Database Expert" and have recently been asked toassist with a SQL 2000 database move to a new server. I was wonderingif there was an easy way to reconfigure the ODBC pointers on theworkstations?Thanks for the help in advance.
I had just installed SQL 2005 dev on my laptop and got an error message when I tried to create a package using the BI IDE. I received the same error using VS2005 IDE. But the project was created regardless without any packages. When I tried to create a new package in the project, I received the same error again, but with an option to view the error details.
Following is the text of the error details:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------
I created a SSIS package that has a flat file manager whose connection string is a package variable, the reason is that there is a foreachfile container loop to loop thru CSV format files in a directory and load them to a sql table.
The package execution is working in the designer studio as well as in the management studio-- a copy was saved to a sql 2005 server where a sql job is deployed to run the package. However when I ran the job, it claims successful but doesn€™t do anything in reality. If I checked the box failing the package upon validation warming, the job will fail with the error: the command line parameters are invalid. The command line looks like below:
One thing that I think maybe wrong is on the data source tab of the job step GUI, the flat file manager€™s connection string is blank, compared to other connection managers having related values.
I have installed the trial enterprise edition of sql server 2005. I am trying to recreate a dts packages. I am using an iseries OLE DB provider. In the data flow the connection to a physical file that has string data gets translated into binary data. Has any one gotten a download to work with the correct data?
Hello, I get the following error when I run my package interactively. From the logs written out by the driver, it appears that all is working well as far as connecting to the data source and pulling data. It seems as if this error occurs when the DataReader source tries to process the received data.

I am not sure where to look next. Any help is much appreciated.
I'm creating an SSIS package that will execute legacy dts packages. The package to be executed is decided at runtime using a sql query task.
Executing a dts package statically works fine, but when I try to set the details of the dts to be run via expressions, I get the error below.
To make it dynamic, I created a variable of type string, and put the package name in here. I also have a string variable for the packageid. Then I set up an expression on the Execute DTS 2000 Package Task that sets the PackageName & PackageID property to this variable.
The PackageId is a string variable I've retrieved using:
select top 1 name, cast(id AS varchar(50)) id, cast(versionid AS varchar(50)) versionid from sysdtspackages where name = @PackageName order by createdate desc
When I use the task to set the package id it works find (by selecting a dts, then changing the name), but when I try to provide the package id I get this message:
but the method signature specifies String PackageGuid, and it is a string..
any ideas??
i tried casting the variable like so:
(DT_GUID) @[User:TSPkgId], as the versionid is a uniqueidentifier on sysdtspackages.. It didn't like that at all (can't cast from type DT_WSTR to DT_GUID error code 0xC00470C2)
I have a big problem and i'm not able to find any hint on the Network.
I have a window2000 pc, VS2005,II5 and SQLServer 2005(dev edition)
I created an SSIS Package (query to DB and the result is loaded into an Excel file) that works fine.
I imported the dtsx file inside my "Stored Packages".
I would like to load and run the package programmatically on a Remote Scenario using the web services.
I created a solution with web service and web page that invoke the web service.
When my code execute: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application.LoadFromDtsServer(packagePath, ".", Nothing)
I got the Error: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DtsRuntimeException: The package failed to load due to error 0xC0011008 "Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored.". This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.
The error message doesn't help so much and there is nothing on the www to give me and advice....
I have done DTS to transfer all the objects(entire database) from server1 to server2.When I do a select * on any user table in server2,it says invalid object name.Any idea?
I am running SQL 7 Svc Pack 2 on TN 4.0 Svc Pack 6a.
I am getting the following error when opening up a DTS package on my SQL Server from EM on my workstation. If I open it up on the server by using pcanywhere the package opens fine. Ther error is a dialogue box stating:
Package Error
Error Source:Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package Error Description: The Parameter is incorrect.
Has anyone seen this. I get nothing in the event log or SQL logs. I can't seem to figure this one out.
We are in the process of installing a new Server which has SQL 2000 on it. I transferred everything over from a SQL 7.0 server. I am in the process of updating my DTS packages. I have to go in and change the connections. THe first package worked fine. I've gone into about 5 others and am getting the following error: Error Description: unspecified error [IBM] Client Access Express ODBC Driver (32 Bit) Invalid Argument Value
I can change the server connection fine. But if I click on the tranformation and properties thats when I get this error.
This is my syntax, I have removed then added back line by line by line and determined it is the insert of the variable into the table that skews.
Code: Create Table #Table1 (ID Int Identity, p nvarchar(20)) Create Table #Table2 (date datetime, salesID int, p varchar(20)) Insert into #Table1 Values ('ZeroWireless') Declare @Str nvarchar(4000), @p nvarchar(20) Select @p = p From #Table1
Im trying to create a new table from a union all statement, im pretty sure this is the way you do it:
insert into Test_table select * from Tb1 union all select * from Tb2
However im receiving a invalid object name error. Doing a search on this forum i read it might be to do with not having tb1 or tb2 in the same database, but both select statements and the union work, just not the insert or creating a new table from the results. Any suggestions will be greatful. Champinco
I'm trying to create a report model using a set of tables from two different servers. Creating the Data Sources and the Data Source View is no problem, however, while trying to create a Report model I run into an error that says,
An error occurred while executing a command. Message: Invalid object name 'dbo.table_name. Command: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [dbo].[table_name] t
I've checked the schemas for both these tables and they are correct. Why is this error occuring? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi, I will start step by step:1. a new web site with VS 2005.2. I added a sqldatasouce and connect with AdventureWorks sample database ,which comes with sql server 2005 developer edition, selected by drop-down list. [ server name:(local) ]3. Test connection. It is OK.4. Saved as 'AdventureWorksConnectionString'.5. Some columns are selected in the 'product' table.6. At the end while testing query with 'test query' button it gives: "There was an error executing the query. Please check the syntax of the command and if present, the types and values of parameters and ensure the are correct. Invalid object name 'Product'. "7. However when I choice NorthWind database sample I installed externally, there is no problem.Moreover, when I choice AWBuildVersion table in the AdventureWorks, and it's columns, there is also no problem.8. I compared NorthWind and AdventureWorks security properties in the SQL server managment studio, but can't find any differences.9. I have been searching all the web since two days.10. Thanks.
While I'm sure I'm missing something very stupid here.... I cannot get this sproc to run successfully. I get "Error 207: Invalid Column Name tbl_images.imgID". Yes that column exists in that table, and it's case is exactly the same as what I have in the select text.
I'm baffled, any help would be great thanx!
CREATE PROCEDURE spImagesbyCategory @categoryID varchar AS
FROM tbl_products LEFT JOIN (SELECT catalogID, MIN(imgFileName) AS imgFileName FROM tbl_images GROUP BY catalogID) tbl_images ON tbl_products.catalogID = tbl_images.catalogID WHERE tbl_products.categoryid Like '%' + @categoryid + '%'
I'm getting the following error when I try to add a new record to the db:System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'Pub_Points'. My table is called Pub_Points. I've had an insert working before.This is the SQL string that I'm trying to send:INSERT INTO Pub_Points ('PPName','Encoder_URL','Connect_Type','Archive','Creation_Date') VALUES ('fu','barr','local ','19/26/2005 13:35:27')Yet updating an existing record during the same run works fine:UPDATE Pub_Points SET PPName='foo ', Encoder_URL='bar', Connect_Type='remote ', Archive='0' Where ID='114' So it can't be a problem finding the table itself.Only two things I can see that are different:- the Insert procedure first creates and attaches the formatted date string (which you see already inserted in the Insert query)- the database has an auto-generating key field 'ID' (which you see being referenced in the UPDATE query)but I don't see how either of those things would give me this error.Ideas?
I'm using ODBC (System DSN) to connect to SQL Server 7.0 Database. Whenever I try to connect to SQL Server Database from my client application, I'm getting the following error message -
---------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft SQL Server has reported the following error:
[Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver] Invalid Date format ----------------------------------------------------------
After this message, I'm getting another error message -
I'm obviously connecting and executing the package correct, but I can't track down this error. The installation includes dtspkg.dll, dtspkg.rll, dtspump.dll, dtspump.rll, which are all registered. The username and password are hard code set in the package object before I execute it, so security should be the same.
Any suggestions on how to solve or track down this problem?
