Has anyone attempted to perform a load test with SSIS? I am trying to saturate(100% processor utilization) a HP integrity rx4640 server with 60GB of ram and 4 processors, windows 2003 and Sql server 2005 in order to to build a sizing document?
How does one determine in a VS load test the exact limit of the number of users the report server can handle without failing?
If 200 users proces request reports simultaneously, what is the best configuration for a single box deployment. The reports are parametrized reports and do not run from cache.
Thanks

Hello,
I have searched the forum, and have discovered that the DTS method using IsNumeric to check for numierc values (ActiveX) is not valid in SSIS. Most of what I have seen prescribes using the script component to handle this.
So formerly, I checked to see if a column was numeric. If it was, then I needed to use the numeric value as is, or in some cases, I needed to perform a calculation on the value and use the result. If the value was not numeric, then whatever the value was needed to be changed to zero.
Here is an example of how I would use the current value, or set the value to zero:
If IsNumeric(DTSSource("Col003")) Then DTSDestination("ADepTrnx") = CLng(DTSSource("Col003")) Else DTSDestination("ADepTrnx") = 0 End If
This is an example of how I would use the current value in a calculation, or set the value to zero:
If IsNumeric(DTSSource("Col012")) Then DTSDestination("AlliStdFee") = CLng(DTSSource("Col012"))/100 Else DTSDestination("AlliStdFee") = 0 End If
Does anyone have an example of how I would handle both situations in a script component?
Thank you for your help!

I have been somewhat dismayed by the lack of information available relative to testing SSIS solutions. At a time when both managed code and db code are getting tooling (through VSTS) to help drive an automated testing mentality into developers everywhere - there seems to be little out there for those using SSIS. I have seen people talk about having SSIS packages that test the actual packages - there is always the manual way to write the tests in something like C# and then programmatically invoke the package and manually validate the results. Anyone out there have approaches that are working for them?

How to perform testing on SSIS packages?
I need to find out how the package progress and the re-entry takes place through c#.net.
Please provide me an appropriate code.
I am currently working on a project which needs to load over a 1000 xml files. The files are stored across 10 subfolders. I am using a foreach loop with a file enumerator, which is configured at the top of the folder structure and traverses the subfolders. This loops through the files, load the data and then moves the file to another folder. The package executes fine for a few 100 files but then hangs; this happens after a different number of processed files each time the package is run. While trying to resolve the problem we ran performance counters and noticed that the number open handles increased significantly just about the time Dtexec looked like it had hanged and DTexec also then started taking a lot of the cpu processing time. Has one else come across similar situations?

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....
Is it a SSIS problem???
Thank you for any help!!

I have an SSIS package that imports data. It's working fine except I've been told that the Load_Date field needs to have the same date for each record in the table (the table gets truncated and then loaded each time the SSIS package runs). I created the table with a default of getdate() for Load_Date but I've been told not to do it that way and to have a variable in SSIS to populate Load_Date to make sure it's the same for every record. I've set up a variable in SSIS. I made it a datetime type of variable. It defaults the value to the current date (at that time) but doesn't let me change it to getdate(). I think the way to use the variable is to have a derived columns step that uses the variable Load_Date and then in mappings, set the column equal to the variable. But how do I set the variable equal to getdate() so it can be used for each row?
Thanks
Hi All
I've created an SSIS package that loads data from source to destination, using Lookup and conditional Split to check New rows and changed rows for one table.
Now I want to take this father by loading data for multible table more that 100. I did it in T-SQL using dynamic sql and cursor.
How can I achive this using SSIS.
Hi,
I have a little experience with SSIS (but a lot with DTS) and none with CRM 3.0.
Is it possible to use SSIS to import flat files into CRM 3.0 ?
And how ?
I read something that CRM 3.0 uses SQL server 2000. Should I upgrade it SQL server 2005 ?
Any suggestion where to read about this ?
Thanks in advance

We are in the process of converting our existing incremental loads from DTS to SSIS.
Currently we get all the data for the past month into temp tables in the warehouse, compare with key fields add the new rows and update changed rows. All this is done using Execute SQL task.
Is there a better way to implement the incremental logic using SSIS any new objects that be used to avoid too much SQL codes? Performance is very important and we do a lot of aggregation after the load for the reports to run faster so that we can meet customer SLA's.
We have around 20 tables that needs to be loaded 4 have large amount of data between 20 and 40 million rows out of which we will be brining over around 100 thousand during each incremental run. The other tables have less than 100,000 rows so does not hurt truncating and reloading the entire table.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks!
Hi,
How to extract and Load Data using ADO.NET in SSIS.i hope to extract data we have DataReader source .but how to load (Insert) data with ADO.NET ?.and is ADO.Net quicker than OLEDB ?
Thanks

Hi everyone. I'm trying to figure out how to run an incremental load into a Staging table.
At this point I'm not trying to Conditional Split it between "New" and "Changed" records... just the load.
The logic in my head says that after each load, you can take the most recent "modified" date/time and store that in an incremental load table. That way, next time you run an incremental load, you just have to look up that "modified" date/time, and only load the source records with a "modified" date/time later than the record in your incremental load table. Does that plan sound feasible?
I think so far my problem is that my source is on an ADO.NET connection, and my incremental load table is on my SQL Server. So when I do my load from the ADO.NET database, I cannot read the data from the incremental load table.
Is my logic flawed?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much!
I loaded a vchar column using script trans (SSIS doesn't support XML data types :/) to format the XML data properly. Since the XML data in the vchar column was not encoded, when I try to alter the vchar column to xml after the table is loaded it fails. I assume this is because the parser is having trouble with the content of the data within the xml tags.
This is how I coded the XML rather than using a xml method. "true" places the element end tag.
newXML += FormatElement("CONFERENCE") _
+ FormatElement("NAME") + ConvertToESC(RTrim(Mid(Row.activity, 1, 34))) _
+ FormatElement("NAME", True) _
+ FormatElement("START_DATE") + ConvertToESC(RTrim(Mid(Row.activity, 35, 8))) _
+ FormatElement("START_DATE", True) _
+ FormatElement("END_DATE") + ConvertToESC(RTrim(Mid(Row.activity, 43, 8))) _
+ FormatElement("END_DATE", True) _
+ FormatElement("CONFERENCE", True)
My question is, can I either load the data, using T-SQL, into an XML data type from a vchar column or is there a way to alter the type from vchar to xml without encountering the following parsing error?
Msg 9421, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
XML parsing: line 1, character 64, illegal name character
Thanks for any suggestions!

Greetings all,
After moving all my packages to a new server, win2K3, SQL2k5, non of the SSIS packages run. They all ran fine on the other server.
The error is
"2006-03-07 13:09:38 - ! [LOG] Step 1 of job 'ExportXML' (0x4E0C7495EFE4034FA6EF94B7C7F77262) cannot be run because the SSIS subsystem failed to load. The job has been suspended"
These packages ran perfectly on the old system.
Running the package manually, using DTExec or from the Saved Packages tree in SQL is fine.
Package is saved in SQL.
Any ideas?
Especially interested in the CodePageConvert.
Installing the .msi just creates a project folder in my Visual Studio directory. I'm unclear how to get from this point to being able to choose this component from my Toolbox items in SSIS. There was a readme file that talked about gacutil.exe and .snk files that was a above my head.
Can anyone dumb it down for me?
Hi
I am new to SSIS and am looking to load XML files (with a DTD definition) into tables via a SSIS package. I have created a XML task and am able to load the XML and output it to file. I have also stripped out the DTD definition and am able through a dataflow using XML source an OLE db Destination load and map the XML to table sin my DB. But have no idea how to get the data in when it has a DTD definition included. I either want to put each file into a row in a table then query it. Or from the SSIS package input the relevant info into a set of staging tables or the real tables.
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
HI All,
I have Uzip Files to be downloaded From ftp.companyname.com, the zip files get updated everyday thus i have to download the newly added files, the Zip file has got 13 text Files within it, the issue is:
1. how do i download it for the new zip file only, the zip files are shown below, i am trying using FTP Task, but need more info or other alternative.
2. (Optional) How do i UnZip it and and take the text files and then load them to sql server 2005, each text file has to be loaded to sql server tables.
3. How do i automate it, i mean every time i run the package (on Job based) it has to look the new file only, see the zip file below to understand what i am saying about.

03/04/2008 04:49PM 3,238,121 CompanyName_2008-03-03.zip
As you can see the Zip file names are the blues color, they are added at different time, when you browse the ftp.companyname.com you will get the blue color files, thus what i need is to download only the current Zip file (i mean i have to downLoad only the newly added Zip file (recent one)). Thus the SSIS Task has to go to this FTP server and look the newly added zip file. (Optional) if possible, After that i have Unzip it b/se i have 13 text files there, and then Load them to Sql Server 2005.
Please get help on this, the deadline is near by time, if possible try as soon as possible, I would like to say Thank you for every help you do and try.
Thanks,
Now that we have a good programming model in SSIS - the question is whether to write automated unit tests for your packages, and would it generally be a good idea for packages?
Also - if yes to write tests - then where to find more informations regarding How to accomplish that?
I am trying to load a SQL 2005 table that consists of two guid values in two fields. I have a flat file in tab delimited form that has guid values as strings to load into the table. I used a flat file source module in SSIS; which then goes to a Data Conversion module that takes the flat file and does a conversion to type unique indentifier [DT_GUID]; this goes to a OLE DB destination which is a SQL 2005 table that has no records and only those two fields. I get this following primary error:
[Data Conversion [498]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column "Column 0" (373) to column "Copy of Column 0" (511). The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
An example of the two values in the .txt flat file source:
84d92cbb-4b4b-435b-8d8a-789ea930283c 328340cd-85fd-4210-8d82-000024093d7c
Any ideas what may be causing this? This should be pretty straight forward load. But it is guid which seems to always cause cast issues.
I want to create a SSIS package as follows
Conditions
If there are about 100 records in text file, if there is an error at 43 and at 67 record respectively , it should capture 43 and 67 record in failure folder and remaining 98 records , should be processed
1) Successful record into table and move the success record from the folder
to new path say( Success folder) (98 records to table)
2) Unsuccessful records to new path (Failure folder) (2 lines )
3) Error message to capture the failed records and store them in another folder(Error log) (2 line failure information)
While writing the 3rd condition to error log table , it has to point out the record which is failed for what reason, say it may be due to invalid data type for column 10 for 43 record, and incorrect syntax error at 67 record.
I have created a package that loads data . I need advice on a quik way to schedule this baby .

Hey,
I seem somehow stuck in some Script Task problems in SSIS on a x64-environment which has SP2 installed already.
If I'm running the package in 32-bit mode, I'm continuously getting the following error
"Warning: Precompiled script failed to load. Attempting to recompile. For more information, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article, KB931846 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=81885)."
on one of the package's scripts --
the given links advises to install SP2... what a useless hint.
And if I switch the project to run in Run64BitRuntime=True , another script tasks complains
"ScriptTask_78888010d24c477ea7c8d69f4f5568a5 is not a valid Win32 application. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700C1)
-- whatever that might mean...
Maybe I should add that the packages were running in 32-bit mode for the last 12 months now. Without any problems like that.
Those effects are occuring since we put SP2 onto the server...
Any comments on this topic? Similar experiences? Maybe yet some solutions too?

I have this data in a flat file and I'm doing a data dump to a SQL table. I created a SSIS package which ran successfully but only exporting 2 rows out of 4 rows to the SQL table. For some reason my package ignore two other rows where "col4", "col5" and "col6" do not have any data. No conditional component was used in this package to not to load those records.

Hello !
Please, this is an urgent call; May be someone issued the sama probleb I do :
When I'm trying to import a XML file, that contains diffgram, using the XML Source task in SSIS, I choose an Inline Schema Option - everything goes well...the tables and columns are displayed, and the Import task into a Database's table succeds.
The problem is that , it doesn't load any data into the table, though there are plenty .
Hello,
I don't have a specific problem, I'm looking about resources because this is the tipical case when something is working but I don't know why ..
On particularly I have to load and run a dtsx package from a window application and the package is located on the server.
I decided to use .NET Remoting.
I developed my "Remotable Object" which contains:
package = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application.LoadFromDtsServer()
package.Execute()
etc....etc...
The window application calls the Remotable object, call the specific method and the package is loaded and run successfully.
When I studied the .NET Remoting there is also Server that expose the Remotable Object.
In this case the Server is SSIS Service but I would like to know witch port is used, which method( singlecall or singleton ) is used and so on!
where I can find this info?Someone knows some resource to advice?? or I'm working with SSIS not on a remote way?
Thankx

Hi All,
I am just curious to know how I can load data from a data warehouse to an Analysis Service Cube (both to the fact tables and dimensions).
Does any body have some way to achieve this?
I appreciate if any body provide me a good material which describe this scenario.
Sincerely,

It is possible to program part of the process of load of data within the SSIS. The origin is a Flat file (.txt and .dat) and the destiny a SQL Server 2005. All the fields of the file are not mapean origin with the destiny table and data are needed other tables that are in the Data Base.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo i have about 80 different SSIS PAckages that load different text files into tables. each package has a config file that contains password, server name and user id. I want to forward these packages to a use who will execute them. So instead of giving the user 80 packages to execute manually, how do i put these packages into one parent package so that the user has to only execute this parent package instead of executing 80 different packages NB. package exec is manually. (we will automate later) so this is a temp measure.
