Hi all - just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how arduous this task would be (migrating Cognos Data Manager scripts to SSIS). I realize it wont be a trivial endeavour, but wondered how much of a headstart having the initial validated Cognos catalog would be to this project (or would it be pretty much useless?)
Thanks
We are trying to investigate the ETL tools available in the market and have narrowed down to two
COGNOS - ETL (Data Manager Tool)
Microsoft - SSIS
Is there a comparison study out there which would help us in this process. Also a list of things we need to look out for in a ETL tool will also help.
Thanks

I am tasked with migrating a few DTS packages to SSIS from 32bit 2000 box to 32 bit 2k5 box. These DTS packages contain simple processing of AS cubes. When I run the wizard to migrate the package on my sql 2k5 box, I get the following error during processing:
Could not load file or assembly "Microsoft.SqlServer.Exec80PackageTask, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
and the wizard shows the status being "Stopped". I found the Microsoft.SqlServer.Exec80PackageTask.dll on a 64 bit server located in C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSTasks and copied it to the 32 bit 2k5 box. This still did not work and the error log produces

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog].
I also tried re-installing the backward compatability components to no avail. Any ideas?

I have created a SSIS package to load data into a destination table.
Now I cheked that package into main server. Then I tried to change path for both source and destination connection managers. I'm not sure whether I can do that.
But now what I want is load data into a data base which is in another server (Perforce).
Can I do this? Or Am I doing smthing wrong?
If so, Which is the correct way?
I have migrated DTS to SSIS through migration utility. The origional DTS has lots and lots of VbScript.
SSIS has converted it into 8 to 10 Activex script task. When I run the package it gives error in the first activex task.
I found on net the SSIS does not understand Vbcript and this needs to convert into .Net.
Please guide.

Hi All,
In SQL Server 2000 DTS, I had an Active X script that, using ADO, performed the following basic operation:
Retrieve a list of account numbers through Recordset1
While Not Recordset1.eof
Build a sql statement based on fields from current row of Recordset1
Open Recordset2 based on the sql statement built
Run an update query based on results from recordset 2
Loop
I want to bring this over to SSIS, but i'd like to take advantage of the most current "ways of doing things" instead of just using SSIS's activex script.
Does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to handle this type of thing in SSIS? A script task? A script component? I've never really worked w/ ADO.net so if it involves that I'd have to pick up some pointers... any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have created a simple SSIS package in a 32-bit server and I'm able to execute it using dtexec command in the same server.I copied this package to the 64-bit machine and when try to execute the pacakge using dtexec /f <package path> ,it is giving me the following error
"The connection manager "10.101.24.230.master 1" will not acquire
a connection because the package OfflineMode property is TRUE. When the Offline
Mode is TRUE, connections cannot be acquired."
But in SSIS designer OfflineMode property for the package is by default set only to false but still I get this error in 64-bit.
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
In my script 'm using
Set oPkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent
Set oBeginStep = oPkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1")
I guess becoz of using DTSGlobalVariables.Parent in activex,the script is not working.
Can anyone please suggest a solution to run it in SSIS.
Thanks in Advance
I have migrated several (7) DTS packages to SSIS in a development environment. In this environment these packages all work as designed. I am now in the process of placing the .dtsx files on the production server and scheduling jobs around them.
I am encountering problems in 3 of these 7 packages. I get the following error:
Message
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User <domainuser>. The last step to run was step 1 (Create and Transfer Credentialling Data).
This is not what I would call very informative. I have opened the dtsx files in question in BIDS on the production server and each has the following error reported:
Error loading <name>dtsx; Failed to decrypt protected XML node "PassWord" with error 0x8009000B" Key not valid for use in specified state." You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available.
I have looked at the package setting "Protection Level" and all seven packages have the same setting: EncryptSensisitveWithUserKey
Each of the connections within the packages have been defined to utilize Windows Authentictation. And the jobs are set to run under the SQL Agent Account.
What I find most puzzeling is that each of these packages are defined exactly the same and some work correctly and others do not.
Thanks for taking the time help me with this issue.
Hi,
We need to migrate data from Sqlserver2000 database to Sqlserver2005. The SQLserver2000 DB was poorly Normalized and the DB was redesigned inSqlserver 2005. Both the databases are operational.Currently we have around 90 tables that need to migrate the data from the OLD DB to NEW DB, all the table mappings between the old schema and new schema have been successfully established.
Each Table is treated on its own merit and applying its own business rules which allows the data to be transformed to the new tables.The client wants us to build a SSIS solution that needs to performs the following
a. Import all Look Tables.
b. Import all master Tables ( One time import of some tables data and other tables may need to import every 4 hrs)
c. Import all Transaction tables( One time import and other tables may need to import every 4 hrs of data)
My Question is how to apporoach this scenario of pulling one time lookup, master and transaction tables and scheduling 4 hrs data importing process, how to build a SSIS solution for this type of scenario.
Thanks

Hi,
I have to create a migration package ..means package should migrate the sql server 2000 tables to 2005 tables (Not dealing with data at this point of time and ignoring SPs,DTS packages).But there are lot of normalisation ans schema changes in 2005 compared to 2000.Like,
- One 2000 table devided into 3-4 tables in 2005
- Lot of changes in the filed names
- Handling integrity relationship between the newversion tables
Being new to SSIS ,iam in confusion like how to start and where to start.can you pls tell me the steps(Structured way) i have to fallow
-- I have around 8-9 tables in 2000 ,I have to migrate them into 18-19 tables (with some new fileds )
-- For each table i have to create one package(bcoz lot of transformations are there) or I can create one package for all of those ? but the finally i have to handover one package to the client
pls ask me if u need any further info to come up with the explanation..bcoz iam not sure whether i provided enough info or not
Thanks for ur help

Below is a migration plan that I've compiled to migrate SQL 2000 DTS packages to SSIS 2005. Once these DTS packages have been migrated i will need to create a job and schedule them in SQL 2005.
I would appreciate and feedback or questions on this migration plan.
Migration DTS 2000 packages to SSIS 2005:
1. Will need to save the current production DTS package as structure storage file. We do not have a UDL file. We set the data connections within each DTS package.
2. Go to Sql 2005 - ManagementLegacyData Transformation Services - right-click and open previous saved structure storage file.
3. Modify the DTS data creditentials to reflect the SQL 2005 connection data. Modify any SQL 2000 MAPI settings to utilize SQL 2005 new database mail. Save the package on SQL 2005.
4. After the modified DTS package has been updated and saved on SQL 2005, save this file as a structure storage file.
5. go to BIDS. Create a new SSIS project. Right-click on SSIS packages and select Migrate DTS 2000 package. This will migrate over the DTS 2000 package with the updated SQL 2005 data creditentails.
6. click on the package properties - protectionlevel and change it to dontsavesensitive.
7. right-click and select package configurations..., select to store data creditentials in xml format.
8. right-click on execute DTS 2000 package task, select Edit... and click on Load DTS2000 package internally. This will embed this task into the new SSIS package. Test the package. Continue if successful.
9. Use SSIS deployment functionality to move the package over to SQL 2005 Integration Services. Right-click on package and select Run Package, if successful, create a job and schedule it to run on SQL 2005 Agent.
10. When creating the Job under SQL Agent, change the Owner: of the job to reflect the owner of the new SSIS package. Schedule the job.
I've just coming up to speed on SSIS 2005. Therefore, this is what i've been able to piece together up to this point and I'm looking for some industry advice/feedback on whether or not this is a good migration plan. I need to provide a migration plan to management by 2/18. Thanks

Hi,
We are having performance issue (too slow) compiling cubes utilizing Cognos over SqlServer database. The driver used is Microsoft Sql Server (OLE DB). Is that the right driver to be used?
Any idea what could be the problem?
Thanks
I am a Cognos developer (10 years) and am frustrated with the apparent lack of MSAS ability to replicate Cognos measure scope / allocation features.
I have built three cubes, Sales Info, Store Count, and Date Count and wrapped these into a virtual cube (Sales Reporting). Both the Store Count and Date Count cubes have just a single dimension and a single measure each (Distinct counts of Stores and of Days respectively), this is my attempt at replicating the use of several fact queries with differing scope in Cognos Transformer. In my virtual cube I wish the distinct counts to be allocated constantly within dimensions that are out of scope. For instance if I have product categories as rows and my measures as columns then I wish to see the total number of stores on each row and the number of days in the date range so that I can calculate a few ratio's. I do not wish to see the number of stores that sold products in each category or the number of days products in that category were sold, which is what I see if I use distinct count measures in a cube with the exact same dimensionality.
All that I have been able to achieve is something similar to Cognos's 'do not allocate', zero's appear down the list of categories in out of scope dimensions.
TIA
Hi. We've got hundreds of Cognos reports and catalogs and we'd like to convert them to SSRS reports and models. Is there a tool to do this? We're converting our reporting to SSRS and need help. Thanks.

I am unable to crosstab different alternate hierarchies of an MSAS cube from a single dimension, I'm using Cognos Powerplay (7.3 web and client) to browse the data. v 7.1 displays the same behaviour.
When I try to create the crosstab the display replaces both rows and columns to the alternate path, it overwrites the original path. Can anyone tell me if this is a Cognos issue or an Analysis services one and if there is any way around it. The only solution I have at the moment is to bodge it by creating seperate dimensions for each alternate hierarchy however this is ugly and difficult to use.

In using SSIS to migrate data from mainframe to SQL 2005, I had a situation where only group level data was exposed through the ODBC to SSIS, so I pulled this information as varchar on the SQL destination side. Now I would like to break that group into the individual numeric columns I need on SQL Server. However, the positive and negative sign did not convert because it came of character. I can write something to convert the positive signs to positive numbers; however I cannot do the negative because I would need get rid of the leading zeros in order to place the negative sign before the number. Is there anything I could have done to get SSIS to do the conversion like it did for every one-to-one mapping?

I cannot get the SQL Server Upgrade Wizard to work!!
I have one machine with NT 4 (SP4) and SQL 6.5 and another machine with NT 4 (SP4) and SQL 7.0 (new install, never had SQL 6.5 one it). I want to upgrade a database to 7.0.
Each machine can 'see' the other via shares and even trying to register a SQL database in each other machines Enterprize manager (although that fails because they are different versions of SQL)
Using the Upgrade Wizard, on the third screen, where you specify the Server Name for the export server, it even has the other server's name in the dropdown list {I never even put it in}. And yet, after I set the export server name and put in the database SA account password and then put in the SA account password for the local server (the one that is running the Upgrade Wizard).
After I select next, I get a message that states...
'Unable to connect to Export Server. Please verify that you are an NT administrator on that machine.'
These are standalone servers. Not BDC's. I am logged into each machine as the administrator.
I have tried adjusting the SQL services to allow logging as the System Account and the administrator account and a whole bunch of options....
but I can't get it to work.
HELP!!! This shouldn't be this hard.... should it???
