After designing a SSIS package in Visual Studio 2005 that had two connection manager defined to keep the password. After I deployed the package to a file system. I then Imported the .dtsx file after making a Integration Services connection in Sql Server Management Studio. When I tried to run the package it failed when it tried to make the connection. When I edited the connection manager connection string and added the password and the package ran fine but it does not retain the password!. I need to have this package scheduled to run daily so I need to know how to have the package keep the password in the connection string. I have seen other posts on this issue but not seen a good solution. Could someone point me to the proper MSDN article that would explain how to implement this ? Is it a SQL Server configuration issue or a property in Visual Studio SSIS design time ?
I posted a thread here: http://forums.devshed.com/showthread.php?p=1061405 but was told it might be more useful for me to post something here... should have thought about it to begin with!
The picture is in that thread so do please look at it! http://forums.devshed.com/attachmen...tachmentid=7431 should be the URL.
As you see the top 3 records start and finish at the same time, as do the last 3 records. This can then also be repeated for the next day etc etc. What I want to happen is that the top 3 courses to appear on a single line and the 2nd set of 3 to appear on a single line also.
The main SQL to retrieve the records is as follows: Code:
sqlqry = "SELECT * FROM t_sessions a INNER JOIN t_session_times b ON a.session_id = b.session_ID" sqlqry = sqlqry & " WHERE right(left(convert(varchar,a.session_date,113),11),8)='"+displaym +"'" sqlqry = sqlqry & " AND a.session_supplier_id=61" sqlqry = sqlqry & " AND a.session_status ='A'" sqlqry = sqlqry & " ORDER BY a.session_date, b.session_start, b.session_end"
then while this recordset hasn't come to an eof(end of file) I execute: Code:
query = "SELECT course_name,outline_name" query = query & " FROM t_course_ref" query = query & " LEFT JOIN t_it_outlines ON t_course_ref.course_id=t_it_outlines.course_id" query = query & " WHERE t_course_ref.course_id="+cstr(rs.fields(1).value)
Good morning, everyone. Maybe I'm just having a brain fart, but I'm totally new to SSIS (I dabbled very little with DTS in the 2000 days) and cannot for the love of me figure out how to achieve my goal with it:
My company needs to extract data from a variety of sources; tab-delim files, Access databases, other SQL tables and the like. I know how to do this. However, I need to perform data manipulation queries on this data before I place them into SQL tables, as I want to avoid having umpteen temporary tables that I'll need to add checking for. My predecessor did everything in Access, and has a 76-step process (yikes!) that basically will grab all the data, do some minor manipulation, and plop it into a temp table (this is still in Access, not SQL), then repeat the same thing dozens of times.
To give you an example, here's a sample of what I want to do:
- Extract several columns of data from a tab-delimited file on the local drive. This I know how to do already. - Perform some data cleanup and manipulation functions on this data (specifically, obtain the lowest value out of three columns, with the added caveat that I make sure it's not zero to begin with). I have the SQL code for this already written. - Store the results of this data somewhere, so I can pull it and apply additional logic to it; for example, take the lowest value I've retrieved, and update the corresponding column in another database table with it.
Basically, is there any way to avoid the use of dozens of temp tables? There's a lot of data which needs to be pulled in, manipulated, and spit back out to be manipulated by something else a little later on, and the way my predecessor did it was, as I said, to use dozens of Access "Make Table" queries for every minor thing. It's not a big deal if I need to do it, just I'm trying to consolidate the steps needed, as the old way is very inefficient. I've been at this job a month and I'm still trying to wade through all of his queries to discover just what they do, and look into combining several of them.
Forgive the slightly newbish question, but as I stated I've not worked with SSIS really. I'm in the process of learning it better, as I'm sure it can fit our needs.
I am in the process of importing data that is in a text format to thesql server, I want to add couple of fields and insert general data inthe fields added, this data is going to be similar to all the recordsimported. Your help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
I have imported some tables from msaccess but as the datetime field from access is different from SQL Server I had to change all columns type from datetime to varchar...
Now in SQL Server i'm trying to convert this data into datetime, and I'm using cast(field as datetime) and sql give me this message..."The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value."
how can I select these rows that are giving me errors ??? OR is there a way to convert this data ??
I don't know if in this data it will give the error... but as the table is too big...I can't post everything here...
------------------------------- EDIT
I got the problem...
I have data like 4/11/2006 9:23:19 AM and others like 11/21/2005 6:02:13 PM
So the first one 4/11/2006 9:23:19 AM it converts without problem, but wrongly...cause the month is "4" and not "11" the other one 11/21/2005 6:02:13 PM it tries to convert the month as 21 and not as 11....
, Hi In this code how can I create a new data source and new data source view and model and structure that it run dynamic. In this code I have a lot of errors, that they are about server and database don€™t have in current code, In this code, first I should definition server or no?
How can I create data source and data source view and model and structure? Please say code of that, and guide me. databasename and srv is unknown. Do I add other reference with analysis services? Please explain about these codes: ************************************************************************ 1) RelationalDataSource dsNew = new RelationalDataSource( datasourceName, Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID( datasourceName, typeof(RelationalDataSource)));
I have set up a new connection as a connection from data source, but I cannot see how to use this connection to create my Data Flow Source. I have tried using an OLE DB connection, but this is painfully slow! The process of loading 10,000 rows takes 14 - 15 minutes. The same process in Access using SQL on a linked table via DSN takes 45 seconds.
Have I missed something in my set up of the OLE DB source / connection? Will a DSN source be faster?
I'm importing floor machine data from SQL7 into SQL2005 using SSIS. I import the SQL7 data into a SQL2005 master table and then attempt to match the import data with the data in a current table for either update or insert of new machines. The SQL2005 master table was imported from a SQL2000 database. When I run the first Lookup import, it does not recognize the PK matches between the SQL7 import and SQL2005 master and imports all the SQL7 as new machines. The first Lookup branches to a second lookup that checks for changes in the SQL2005 master. When I run the package a second time, the second Lookup treats all the records as updates when it gets to the second Lookup, but should treat these as found. Any suggestions as to why this process is not working properly would be appreciated. Is there a way I can embed a picture of the process from SSIS in this post? Thanks
I have 1 table with a huge amount of data that I recive from someone else in a flat file format. I want to be able to filter through that data and scrub it and find out the good data and bad data from it.
I'm scrubbing the data using different stored procs that i've created and through a web interface that the user can pick which records they wish to create.
If I were to create a new table for clean records, what is the syntax to keep Appending to that table through the data that i'm obtainig via the stored procs that i've created.
Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appriciated in advance
hi everybody, i want to create data source and data source view for data mining, with using C Sharp. i have create data source and data source view and export to XML file, but when i change to another computer, run those XML file, it return error, when i run statement to create and biuld mining model, what can i change on xml or how to run XML on another computer sucessfully, and have i build data source and data source view, how to do it.?
Today I was making a few reports. When I tested the reports in Visual Studio, they worked great: I got the expected result. But when I deployed the reports to our reportserver the problem started. When I click on the directory in which my reports are deployed, I got my 4 reports. Till now everything worked correct. But when I click on a report to view the results it went wrong. I got an error: "Cannot create a connection to data source 'Live'" (Live is the name of our data source).
We are using the Windows Logons and I am sure that I have all the rights on the server, I gave myself 'sysadmin' rights, so it should work. I also have tried it with all the roles assigned on my account, but then it still won't work.
When I modify the data source, and set it to another server en database it works. The datasource 'Live' exists on a x64 MsSQL server, en the other datasource is on a x86 MsSQL server. Maybe that is the problem?

I've question about how to handle structural datamodel changes in a datasource of PowerPivot. Suppose I'm developing a starmodel in SQL Server and sometimes a datatype changes or a name of a field changes in a table. It seems to me that PowerPivot handle this not gracefully as Analysis MD does (mostly). I received an error because of a wrong fieldname or even no error when a dattype changes in PowerPivot. Is this common or do I something wrong here. Does this mean that every time the datamodel changes the PowerPivot should be recreated? Or am I missing the clue here?
Was wondering if there was a best practice minimum permissions for creating a SQL login to use when setting up a new shared Data source for SSRS report manager?
Something along the lines of them being a data read for the DB and permissions to update tempdb?
Would have thought it not advisable to have the login be able to update the main db...
I have 4 Tablix and 2 of the Tablix get data from Server 1 and other 2 get the data from Server 2.I have set NoRowsMessage "=Data Not Available for the Selected Values"  for all the 4 Tablix.Now if data is not available from Server 1 then I must show "Data Not Available for the Selected Values" only once in the  outputbut now its appearing twice in the output because of the 2 tablix that had no rows.Similarly if data not available from Server 2 then it should show "Data Not Available for the Selected Values" only once in my output.If Data not avilable from all the Tablix then also i t should show only once as "Data Not Available for the Selected Values" in the report output.
A data reader is using a connection manager to connect to an ODBC System DSN . A query in the SqlCommand property is provided. Data is being truncated in the only string column . The data type in data reader output-->external columns shows as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] Length 7.
The truncated output in a text file is the first 3 characters from left to right . Changing the column order has no effect.
A linked server was created in SQL Server Management Studio to test the ODBC System DSN using the following:
Data returned using "OPENQUERY" does not truncate the string column indicating that the ODBC Driver returns data as expected with sql 2005, but not with the Data Reader.

Hi i am trying to do a straight forward load from a Flatfile source , i have defined the columns according to the lenghts defined in the Data Dictionary Provided but when i am trying to run the Task i am encounterring this error
The column data for column "Column 20" overflowed the disk I/O buffer.
I tried to add another column 21 at the end and truncate or leave that column unmapped to destination but the same problem occurs for column 21 what should i do to over come this .
In case of Bad Data how to clean up the source.. Please help me with this
I've got a report that is using a cube as a data source and I can't get the report to show all the data. Only data at the lowest level of the cube is displayed. The problem is that most of the data I'm concerned with is at higher levels. There's no problem with the MDX. I get the correct results when I run the query.
I'm using a table to show the results. I've also tried a matrix, but I get the same results. I'm using SSRS 2005 and SSAS 2000.
Anyone have experience with this? Am I missing something simple?
I am pretty new to SSIS. I am trying to create a package which can accept data in any of several formats. i.e. CSV, Excel, a SQL Server database/table and import the data into my destination database.
So far i've managed to get this working OK. However I am now TOTALLY stuck. I'm currently trying to just concentrate on the data sources being a CSV (using a Flat File Data Source) and/or an Excel Spreadsheet.
I can get the data in and to my destination using a UNION ALL component and mapping the data sources to it so long as both the CSV file and the Excel spreadsheet exist.
My problem is that I need my package to handle the possibility that only the CSV file might exist and there is no Excel spreadsheet. In which case i'd like the package to ignore the Excel datasource completely. Currently either of my data sources do not exist I get errors and the package terminates.
Is there any way in SSIS that I can check all my data sources to see which ones exist (i.e. are valid). If they exist I want to use them. If it doesn't exist i'd like to disgard it (without error - as long as there is a single datasource the package should run)
I've tried using the AcquireConnection method in a script task on each of my connections, hoping that it would error if the file/datasource did not exist. It doesn't though (in the case of an Excel datasource it just creates a empty excel file for me).
The only other option I can come up with are to have seperate packages depending on the type of data we want to import and then run a particular package depending on the format of the source data. This seems a bit long winded. I am pretty sure I must be able to do what I want to achieve but I can't work out how.
I'll be grateful to anyone who can send me any tips/hints/links on how I can achieve this.
I am new to SSIS programming, so bear with me if my question seems naive to you gurus. I have a situation that needs to set the data source for a data flow from external .NET application ('external' means that the application will run on different process than the SSIS). I am trying to set the data source on which the data flow works from my C# application in a DataSet format. Ideal solution is not to save the DataSet to any file on harddisk (I know that will work, but has the overhead of writing, reading and managing the temp file). What I want to achive is that the business logic of picking data for SSIS Data Flow to process is controlled inside my C# application, the Data Flow just does what it does best - Transformation. Have any of you successfully done this before?. Thanks!
I have a stored procedure that receives an input parameter of ReporID and then sends back the appropriate dataset to the data-driven subscription. In the stored procedure, there is some concatenated sql in producting the final select statement to send to the subscription, but it is generating the following error:
The dataset cannot be generated. An error occurred while connecting to a data source, or the query is not valid for the data source. (rsCannotPrepareQuery) Get Online Help
Insert Error: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition. Because there are some optional columns that need to conditionally appear based on the report, I can't avoid concatenation. My only other option is to have hundreds of individual tables to source all our reports, which I don't have time to manage.
Please let me know how I can allow the data-driven subscription setup process to discover the columns for my concatenated SQL so I can seutp my schedules based on the single stored procedure with all my logic nested in my table structure.
I'm new to sql server. Last week I made my first cube. Everything went fine. But when I want to explore the cube (from the explore panel in Visual Studio 2012) in Excel then I'm getting the error "Initialization of the data source failed".
Check your database server or contact your database administrator. Make sure the external database is available, and then try the operation again. If you see this message again, create a new datasource to connect to the database.

Hi, i'm wondering which is the best way to search data in a SQL Server. I reach data using Data Sources and Data Views and also with OLE DB Source with a Data access mode: Named query. I have to write the data into a Flat File. So, does any one knows which is the best practice for this? Or any one of the two are good choices? Thanks for your help.
I have created a SSIS package that transfer data from a Foxpro database to an instance of SQL Server 2005 Express. I used the wizard to create the package but I load and execute the package within a custom application that I have written in C#.
The way the custom application is intended to work is that the user can have the database in any location on the computer and all he has to do is specify the location then the application programatically changes the location of the source on the package that it has loaded and then execute it. When I initially run the package the first time (using the original path), it works fine and transfers the data. However, every subsequent time I run the application and specify a different path, the database on the SQL Server side gets created as expected but the data is not transfered!
Where am I going wrong? Do I need to save the package after I modify the source then reload and run it again or do i need to change something else in the Data Flow to make this work?
