Licensing For BIDS
Feb 13, 2008Can we install BIDS client (no server components) on a separate workstation using a download of SQL Server 2005 Developer edition and not require a separate license for the workstation?

Got BIDS Working, Was There Another Way?
Sep 20, 2006i re-installed the SQLEXPR_TOOLKIT.EXE several times(4) trying to get the BIDS part to work. Each time i had the issue of it looking for the devenev.exe as others have mentioned. I gave up on a 5th install and went for the unsupported option of running vs_setup , after the toolkit.exe dumped all the install files to its temporary directory i went in there and ran it sperately...but essentially i did it the same way as this method...
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=368549&SiteID=1
while this did work, it seems to be the unsupported way.
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=665067&SiteID=1
Im not opposed to going back and doing it right, but was there ever a conclusion as to why the BIDS program sometimes doesnt install? im using 2k5 express products on this machine...

BIDS Keeps Crashing
Feb 1, 2007All of a sudden one of my projects/packages seems to have encountered a strange problem. First I tried to remove a data viewer which caused BIDS to crash and tell me that VS has encountered a problem and needs to close. This is repeatable every time I try to remove the data viewer or the link or the transforms or the entire data flow. How do I get around this besides starting from scratch and how do I figure out why this is happening and is there some fix?
thanks

Feb 24, 2008
Well all bugs are annoying, but this one is particularly annoying because it kills the BIDS session with consequent loss of all changes made since the last save.
Click on a control flow task. Position the cursor so that it changes to the 4-way pointer. Drag the task a little bit. The UI locks up, and then BIDS disappears.
I can't repro this on demand, but it has happened about 6 times in the past month. Anyone else seen this one?
BIDS Abort
Aug 1, 2007On several occasions I have experienced crashes while running an SSIS package in debug mode. It happens when I start process on Control Flow table and click on Data Flow tab to monitor progress. I have forwarded the error reports and have searched the boards for similar references. Is this problem going to be fixed?

View 2 Replies View RelatedExporting To File Using BIDS
Nov 5, 2007Hi guys
I am trying to create a package in BIDS that reads data from a table and exports it into a flat file (.csv).
The file needs to have a row for the header and a row representing the column names as well as the data rows.
My problem is:
1.I need to add a value in the header row that is a count of all the data rows.
2. I need to add the year and period based on the year and period in the data rows. (the year and period will always be the same in the data rows)
below is an example of what I want the file to look like (it is a delimited file)
1;Varese;O027200702ACT;F1_V4;BATCH;2326;test company

The value in bold represent the values that i want dynamically updated...
200702 represents a concatenation of the year and period

Reorder Packages In BIDS

Any advise?

When trying to run as a package on the server or calling the package from a job, I get the following error in the log file:

BIDS FTP Task - ProtectionLevel
Apr 25, 2008In BIDS I Had created a package to receive FTP files from remote.
I had created a FTP Connection and FileConnection (As Existing folder) to receive files.
I had Changed my ProtectionLevel to Don'tSaveSensitive (Since i had my Auth details in SQL Server tables)
In the Package Configurations i have created the Configuration details and stored in my conf table.
Now, When i was executing my package, I got this error
[FTP Task] Error: File usage type of connection "FTPReceiveTest" should be "FolderExists" for operation "Receive".
Already the connection Type was set as 'Existing Folder' only.
Any ideas of where i was missed ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSQL Express 2005 And BIDS
Aug 31, 2006I'm sorry but I am so frustrated from searching and trying things! I can't understand why this can't be resolved much easier.............anyway
I am trying to use BIDS on sql server express 2005 after attempting to install the tool kit a couple of times on different platforms. I have installed:
1) VS 2003 (also Visual C# Express on another machine);
2) .net 1.1 and .net 2.0;
3) SQL Server 2005 Express with Advanced services and the tool kit.
The sequence of installs is as follows
1).net 1.1 was there from the beginning
2)VS 2003
3).net 2.0
4)sql server 2005 express
5) tool kit
I see BIDS in the menu but devenv.exe does not exist. I've seen several workarrounds including finding and running vs_setup.msi but those don't work for me either. I am suspecting that the BIDS install conflicts with Visual Studio in any form! If this is true, can someone list those steps to follow to uninstall/re-install the products to get this working?
Thanks in advance!!!!!
BIDS Bug With SSIS Annotations
Jul 24, 2006I would like to report what appears to me to be a bug. I found it while researching an answer for another thread. http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=554926&SiteID=17
Since that thread has not received any further replies I thought I would start a new one to see what answer we can get from MS as well as if anyone else would care to reproduce.
The bug is not a major one and the work around is easy, but it can be annoying.
The bug is this: if I open an SSIS package in BIDS (RTM or SP1) and the only change I make is adding or modifying an annotation and then click on Save and then close BIDS does not save the new annotation or changes made to existing annotations. If I change something other than an annotation then BIDS does save the annotations with the package.
A careful observer will notice that when opening a package and then modifying or adding an annotation that BIDS does not even register that the package has been changed. This is evident by the lack of the trailing asterisk in the title bar after the package name.
In summary if I go into a package for the sole purpose of adding and/or modifying annotations they will not get saved. Workaround: modify something else in the package and then save.
Newbie BIDS Questions
Mar 17, 2006I've been learning SSIS and the BIDS for a few weeks now and there are 2 things that really annoy me. I'm hoping that there is a setting or option or something that I'm missing.
1. I place objects on the Control Flow surface, get everything arranged the way I want it, constraint lines all nice and tidy and then save it. When I open it things aren't the way they were when I closed it. Any way to make them stay the same?
2. If I select multiple objects and copy them when I paste them they are in really interesting places. Any way to have them stay in the same realitive positions?
This is one of the most helpful forums I've ever posted in so thanks to you all for the assistance.

BIDS Interface Question
Mar 23, 2007Hi,
When I open a project in BIDS, for some reason it automatically opens a new tab for each and every package in the project, which is both time consuming and a bit annoying.
I don't want to open a tab for a package unless I do it myself.
Is there a way to turn off this behavior?

BIDS: Reports With Prompt
Oct 4, 2007
Hi anyone:
I'm actually developing a report with some dates on it. I want that when I run this report, a prompt (a window) appears requesting a date (or at least it could be good if a list appears and I can select one of them). Do you have any idea about how can I do that?.
Thanks in advance,

Deploying Reports From BIDS Ask For Logon
Apr 29, 2008I have found many references to this issue on the forum, but no solution that works in my case. I believe that I am lacking a fundamental understanding of a security issue so I will attempt to provide as much up front information as possible. I can publish SSRS reports from BIDS to my local computer but when I try and publish the same reports to a production server, I get a login dialog (which I cannot get passed). Here are the particulars. My environment is a home office. I have my computer (which works with the localhost designation) running on a workgroup network (not domain based). My server is another machine on the network (named €œserverone€?). Both machines are running Windows XP Professional. The BIDS project €œDebug€? property page has the TargetServerURL set to http://localhost/ReportServer. The €œProduction€? property page has the TargetServerURL set to http://serverone/ReportServer. I am logged on as an administrator but I cannot publish to the remote server (serverone) from my machine (localhost). I have also tried using the actual TCIP address of the server in place of the serverone name to no avail. I believe that my problem is related to authentication between the two SQL Server 2005 instances running on separate machines on a workgroup based network rather than a domain based network but I cannot find any information that might be useful under these circumstances. Now, here is my workaround (but this seems very wrong). From the logon dialog generated in BIDS, the user ID name was blank. When I attempted to remotely access the Report Manager on the server from my machine, IE tried to logon using the €œserverone/guest€? account. I added an administrator role to the guest account on the server and everything works as expected. As I mentioned before, this seems very wrong. Currently, both machines were set to use the €œlocal system€? account during setup, but I am not even sure what that means. I tried setting the server to use the €œNetwork Service€? account as suggested in one of the forum threads but that did not work. Any help here would be greatly appreciated as I am sure that allowing the €œGuest€? account to have €œAdministrator€? privileges is a bad idea.

I've had BIDS installed on the first partition (C in the standard location. Since the space has run low, the admin has un- and reinstalled BIDS on the similar location on another partition (D.
The problem is, that when I open VS I can see "Integration Service" as a known module on the splash screen (even in the Help->About dialog), but when I try to open a solution with an SSIS project (dtproj) an error dialog occurs with the message that this project type is not supported.
The user who installed BIDS does not run into my problems! So I've tried to run devenv /ResetSettings which didn't make it right, so I'm a little messed up.
Any ideas?

User Can Not Access Reports From BIDS
Jan 22, 2008Up to this point only two of use, both server administrators, have developed reports. Now we need to add two new report analysts to be able to develop reports in BIDS but limit their access to other server folders, etc. Our report source code is located at G:Visual Studio 2005 Source CodeProjects and all report folders, sln files, etc. are located under the Projects sub-folder. I have shared the Projects sub-folder and given read & execute / list folder contents / read / write / modify rights. They can see the report folders and sln files via BIDS or Explorer but get "access denied" when they attempt to execute one of them. Any thoughts on what I may be missing?
Cannot Open SSIS Project In BIDS
Apr 30, 2007Hi,
I have been working on an SSIS project for sometime now. The project files are located on a remote server. Suddenly I am not able to open the solution I get a lot of error messages and all the data flow taks are gone. I later found out that SSIS encrypts packages, so that other users will not be able to see them. Fine, but I have been using the same windows user account for months now. What could be the problem?
This is what I get when trying to open the solution:
There were errors while the package was being loaded.
The package might be corrupted.
See the Error List for details.
And the error list also contains messages saying "Could not load from xml".
Any pointers will be much appreciated.
TIA
