Invalid Destination Path When Trying To Create Distribution Database
Jun 6, 2007
Hello. I am attempting to add a distribution database to an instance of SQL Server on my local PC. I am using SQL 2005 Developer Edition. I am able to set the instance up as a distributor using the following command:
exec sp_adddistributor @distributor = N'computernameinstancename'
I use the following command to create the distribution database:
exec sp_adddistributiondb @database = N'distribution', @data_folder = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLData',
@data_file_size = 4, @log_folder = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLData',
I get the following error when executing that command:
Msg 14430, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_adddistributiondb, Line 214
Invalid destination path C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLData.
It's not due to permissions on that particular folder. I have tried using other folders, all with the same results. Also, I am an Administrator on the PC, so I have full permissions. I have tried running the SQL Server services as myself and Local System. Same results both times. Co-workers with apparently the same setup are able to create the distribution database without a problem.
Has anybody had this type of problem?
Thanks,
Evan

We've got the requirement where we need to load data (usually dirty of course) from a flat file, and for every column, if the value is invalid, I'm putting a -1 in the field as it flows through the data stream - no problem. (I'm converting all invalids to -1 so they'll go into my eventual int column)
My question though is - at the end of the data flow, is there any smooth way to capture the % invalid values in each column. An example: If my table is as follows...where the # 1 signifies "clean data" and -1 signifies dirty.
col1 col2 col3 col4
1 1 1 1
1 -1 -1 1
-1 1 -1 1
-1 1 -1 1
I would want my % distribution query/ssis result to return:
col1 col2 col3 col4
.5 .25 .75 0
I do not want to do a select/ssis process for each column. Any way to do this all in one shot?

In the following code, I received an error on

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)
How can I delete these packages?

Hi
Hopefully someone can help me.
I'm trying to restore my DB to a new server and also a new instance of SQL 2005 SP2+ hotfix KB934458.
I've successfully restored my MSDB database and everything seems to be working fine, but now when I'm trying to do a restore of my Database RMc to the attached SAN,
I'm getting the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The path 'H:' has invalid attributes. It needs to be a directory. It must not be hidden, read-only, or on a removable drive. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
the H: is the Drive letter for my attached SAN.
The path I'm trying to give is H:\DBData for the MDF-file and the H:DBLog for the LDF-file.
I have the DB running on another server also with a SAN attached and there are no problems.
I also moved the MSDB to another drive on the SAN - a G-drive without any problems.
Is there someone who have a good idea?
TSloth :-)

I'm trying to use the message queue task in SSIS 2005 and not getting very far. Right off the bat I'm trying to create a Message Queue Connection Manager and when I enter the path, trying both "seawxxxx estq" (my local computer name) or ". estq" and test it, it comes back with "invalid path". Have done quite a bit of searching around and can't find anything on this particular error.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I am working on the SSIS FTP Task that transfer file from one FTP server to local location, rename the file name, and finally transfer the renamed file to another FTP server. So I defined 2 FTP tasks.
For the FTP file receive operation, I need the remote path to be updated by a script and pass to the user define variable. So I set TRUE to IsRemotePathVariable. In the RemoteVariable, I set User::FTPSourcePath where the variable is set in the script with "/DMFTP/filename1.jpg"
For the FTP file send operation, I set TRUE to IsRemotePathVariable. In the RemoteVariable, I set User::FTPDestPath where the variable is set in the script with "/DestFTP/"
After all the setting, the FTP Task box show me the error as "Variable "FTPSourcePath" doesn't start with "/". Another FTP box show me "Variable "FTPDestPath" doesn't start with "/"
Can anyone help me on this problem?? Thanks.

I am creating and running a package programmatically. I have the source component set up fine, and the destination component seems good, but when the package is run, it gets the error message: "Excel destination failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA" ".

I have created a FTP Task which is returning the value, "Error: 0x0 at FTP Task, SFTP Task: Invalid local path."
In my DB Table, the table contains a field for the location of files to be Ftp'd which is: C:/temp/ftp/OB/*
I believe my settings are correct and am curious to know if the above string should work or if I need a different syntax for the local variable.

We have an SSIS package that reads in a tab delimited file and throughs the data into a SQL Server 2005 table. The package worked fine on the test files but when we recieved the production files we are getting the error message:
Invalid data for type "numeric".
Needless to say this is not very discriptive. I ran a trace on the DB durning the call and its doing a bulk insert
BULK INSERT [dbo].[FNIAllAppData]
FROM 'GlobalDTSQLIMPORT 00000000000015b800000000009fbd88'
WITH (DATAFILETYPE = 'DTS_Buffers', CODEPAGE = 'RAW', CHECK_CONSTRAINTS, TABLOCK)
When I changed the Data Flow Destination off to OLE DB Destination the error does not occure and all records are loaded successfully.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've been using replication for a long while now but have never come across this error. It's a basic transactional replication from ServerA to ServerB, where ServerA is also the distributor. Everything had been running fine on it until yesterday, when this error started popping up and no further transactions could be delivered.
After some quick googling I was able to determine that the distribution agent account needed write access to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100Com. According to the MSFT article it's because the distribution agent is running under a non-default profile. I didn't change this. However, what I did change around the time that these errors started occurring was the server's Replication Max Test Size setting. It would be far too coincidental for this to not be the cause, but what I don't understand is *why* that would have changed it.
how do I change this? It is definitely not preferable to create temp files in this directory in our environment.

I am having an issue with the File System Task.
I was wondering if there is a way to 'Move File' with the File System Task inside of a For Each Loop container but to dynamically set the Destination path variable.
Currently, this is what I have:
FileDestinationPath variable - set to C:TestFiles
FileSourcePath variable - set to C:TestFiles
FileNameAndLocation variable - set to blank
For Each Loop Container €“ Iterates through a folder C:TestFiles that has .txt files in it with dates in the file name. Ex: Test_09142006.txt. Sets the file path (fully qualified) to the Variable Mapping FileNameAndLocation.
Script Task (within For Each Loop, first step) €“ Sets the FileDestinationPath to the correct dated folder within C:TestFiles. For example, if the text files I want to move are for the 14th of September, it takes FileDestinationPath and appends the date folder to the end of it. The text files have a date in the file name (test_09142006.txt) and I am picking this apart (from FileNameAndLocation in the For Each Loop) to get the folder date. (dts.Variables(€œUser::FileDestinationPath€?).Value = dts.Variables(€œUser::FileDestinationPath€?).Value & €œ€? Month & €œ_€? & Day & €œ_€? & Year & €œ€?) which gives me €œC:TestFiles 9_14_2006€?.
File System Task (within For Each Loop, second step) €“ This is where the action is supposed to occur. I want it to take the FileDestinationPath and move the FileNameAndLocation file (from the For Loop) into this folder for each run.
Now as for my problem. I want this package to run everyday but it has to set the FileDestinationPath variable dynamically according to that day€™s date. Basically, how do I get this to work since I can€™t hard code the destination path variable from the start? I have the DestinationVariable on the File System Task set to the FileDestinationPath variable, after the script task builds it. However, using FileNameAndLocation as the SourceVariable on my File System Task tells me that the €œVariable €œFileNameAndLocation€? is used as a source or destination and is empty.€?
Let me know if I need to clarify further€¦...I may be missing something very simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am new to the wonders of CLR and, as can be expected, have hit a snag. We have multiple environments to run this off of (dev, test, production, etc.) and need to be able to use the same scripts to install them. Here is our basic setup:
Batch script runs a master SQL file using sqlcmd utility
Master SQL file runs secondary SQL files, including the one with the CLR definitions
Secondary SQL file with CLR calls the CREATE ASSEMBSLYI want to be able to call
CREATE ASSEMBLY assemblyName FROM 'myAssembly.dll'
or
CREATE ASSEMBLY assemblyName FROM '..myAssembly.dll'
or something to the effect. However, when I try this, it says I cannot do it or it cannot find the file, even though the file is located in the same folder.
Any ideas?

On SQL Server 2005 SP2 for Publisher and Distributor on the same instance, my old snapshots are not being cleaned up.
The following error is in the agent history:
Executed as user: DomainMyUser. Could not remove directory '\vmsql01ReplDatauncPublication_TRANSACTIONAL20070702104416'. Check the security context of xp_cmdshell and close other processes that may be accessing the directory. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 20015). The step failed.
xp_cmdshell is enabled and I can run commands like :
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell ' md c:TestFolder'
The permissions to the snapshot share and file system are that DomainMyUser has full control.
I have logged into the machine as this user and can remove snapshots so it does not seem to be a permission issue.
On other machines I do not get any errors but the snapshot folder still is not cleaned up.
Any suggestion as to what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Amy

I'm, using my script to many location to create folder to save output files and if the folder is removed/not present it can create it without any noise. But the problem is, while I use the same sort of script to check if a folder is present in the sharedpath it will not create it to copy all bkp files from local to remote path works good, but if you delete the folder or rename the exisitng folder and if the below script tries to create the folder it created as "fILE", very interesting. Per IT team they have given SQL Server account the full rights to create/delete/alter folder/files.
Do I need to use seperate script or way to create / alter folders in the sharepath?
SET NOCOUNT ON
Declare @len INT, @i INT, @Left varchar(max), @right varchar(max), @SERVERNAME sysname,@finalServer sysname
declare @rc int, @dir nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @cmd1 sysname, @cmd2 sysname, @cmd sysname;
Declare @extPAth varchar(max)

Hi,
I'm new to working with replication & I'm just starting to test some implementations. We're still using the beta, v7.00.517. and... basically nothing works, I can't even open any of the replication management features in Enterprise Manager. As soon as I select any item from the replication menu I get:
Error 208: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Invalid object name 'msdb.dbo.MSdistributiondbs'
It's either:
A: a bug, B: something screwed up in my system databases, or C: I'm missing something really obvious.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

Hi all:
I've have a data flow task where I'm importing data into a SQL Server table. All of the fields are mapped, and the source table does not have the uniqueidentifier column (and the destination table will have a uniqueidentifier column). How do I generate a uniqueidentifier for that column without specifiing a default value in the database design? Or is that the only way to do this?
Thanks...

I want to do the following in a package:
Create a table at the beginning of a package (using a ExecuteSQLTask component) and then use the created table as a OLE DB destination component, later on the package.
Is this possible in SSIS?
The problem I run into is that I have to point the OLE DB destination component to a table and set up mappings, however as the table does not exist until the package is running, it does not seem to be possible.
I've looked at:
http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2006/11/19/SSIS_3A00_-Using-temporary-tables.aspx
Which is slightly similar to what I want, but the table I create would not be a temp tables, and I need to set up mappings and I don't see how this is possible.
Thanks

I can set the propperty of the checkpoint file to a local drive, but not to a UNC path mapping, mapping to my host server. (loop back)
Example: "I:FILEFILE1$InputArchiveOntwikkel " is possible as checkpoint file property.
S11487O$InputArchiveOntwikkel is not possible, though this is the same folder on the local host.
For data source both unc path and drive mapping are allowed. Why this difference?

When setting up Replication in v. 6.5, a 'distribution' database is created, containing these tables:
MSjobs
MSjob_commands
MSjob_subscriptions
MSsubscriber_info
MSsubscriber_jobs
MSsubscriber_status
However, they cannot be accessed via the SQL Server Enterprise Manager interface like tables in other databases, at least I can't get to them. Is this a problem or a feature? I can query them to get their contents, but I'm wondering if there might be something wrong with my installation of SQL Server.
Any knowledge shared would be greatly appreciated.

I can't use the distribution database because it doesn't exist, and I can't create the distribution database because it already exists.
A failed replication set up had left a fat distribution database that caused the server CPU to peg 100% when I tried to set up a new Transactional replication (halfway through the wizard).
I removed all replication objects from SMSS, but the only thing that fixed it was deleting the distribution database with an ALTER to OFFLINE and a DROP, and restarting SQL.
Now, I'm unable to set up replication.
When I try, I get the error "Database 'distribution' does not exist. Make sure that the name is entered correctly."
In Distributor Properties, the Publisher is shown with a distribution database of 'distribution'. If I untick that, SQL asks if I want to disable the Publisher. I say yes & get the error "Database 'distribution' does not exist.'
Ok, so let's create it. In the General tab of that window I create a new Distribution database and call it 'distribution'. Then I get the error 'Could not add the distribution database 'distribution'. This distribution database already exists.
exec sp_helpdistributor shows distribution database as 'distribution'
SMSS doesn't show the distribution database at all.
How I can proceed?

We have a production SQL2K DB with publication.
I found replication stopped, distribution database was marked suspect
and log file is gowning.
I have tried using sp_resetstatus and restart server but recovery
said some IO errors reading distribution's datafile, so I guessed distribution database was totally dead.
I have handful documents telling me how to remove replication and
I am going to take that ride.
Before I do anything real,
is there any warning from you Prof people?
is there any trap I may encounter into?
is that OK to rebuild replication after I remove the dead replication?
highly appreciate for any help and comments.
thanks in advance!

HI,
I'm programmatically able to import data between tables when the Destination table already exists but when Detination table has to be created on the fly (Name will be provided), I'm not successful in doing so.
Basically the requirement is to dump the resultset from the source in to a temp table so that the temp (Destination) table matches the Source's Schema exactly.
Has anybody done that?
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
