Db Diagram Of SS2000 In SS2005
Apr 30, 2007I have MS SQL Server 2005 Developer Ed. and try to make a database diagram of remote MS SQL Server2000 database in MS SQL Server Management Studio.
I receive an error "Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner.

SS2000 To SS2005 Transactional Replication Issues?
Nov 1, 2007Hi,
We are implementing push transaction replication from Production SQL Server 2000 database to SQL Server 2005 reporting server and SQL Server 2000 Test server.
SQL Server 2000 PROD to 2000 Test is simple but from SS2000 to SS2005 I have following questions:
Is it feasible to create push subscription from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 database?
When I am trying to setup publisher/subscription properties, It only give me options to pick SQL Server 7.0 or 2000 or heterogeneous databases.
When I am trying to register SQL Server 2005 database in EM of SS2000 it don't allow me to add it and through exception that I need to use Management studio, Is there any alternate way to register?
Thanks

Scheduling SSIS Packages In SS2005
Feb 21, 2008
I'm trying to create a SQL Agent job and schedule that executes an SSIS Package, but when I try to run the job I get the following error:
Executed as user: adApp1. The package could not be loaded.
The App1 user is the Identity used in the Credential for the Proxy which has the SSIS Packages Subsystem.
The package encryption is set EncryptAllWithPassword and that password is included in the Command line with the /DECRYPT option.
The package is stored on the server in the SSIS Package Store and was placed there via the Import package option. Does the method matter?
One thing that I haven't been able to track down is exactly what permissions the domain account adApp1 needs on the server or in SQL Server, if any, in order to run the package. Not sure if that has any affect anyway.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
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:

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

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?

Migrating Cognos DM ETL To SSIS?
May 29, 2008Hi 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?)

Oct 3, 2007I 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?

Migrating DTS Active X/ADO Script To SSIS
Aug 1, 2006Hi 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

Migrating SSIS Package To 64-bit Server
Apr 6, 2006Hi,
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.

Migrating SSIS Packages To Production And Job Scheduling
Apr 10, 2006I 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.
Migrating From SQLServer2000 To SQLServer2005 SSIS Solution
Mar 3, 2006Hi,
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

Migrating Scheduled SQL 2000 DTS Packages To SSIS 2005
Feb 13, 2008Below 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

How Do I Do This In SS2000?
May 6, 2004Hi all,
I have a simple query which returns all the names of products attached to a particular order.
select a.orderid, b.product_name
from orders a, order_items b
where a.orderid = b.orderidSay it returns this data: (sorry about the formatting!)
orderid product_name
===== =========
001234 Sweater (Black)
001234 Trousers (Large)
001234 T-Shirt (Pink)
What I want to do is, instead of getting 3 rows back, I want to roll up all matching values (of product_name) from the order_items table into a simple string seperated by a comma. So, for the data above I would get a single row with the orderid and a string containing something like this: "Sweater (Black), Trousers (Large), T-Shirt (pink)".
I'm sure there's an easy way to do this in SQL Server 2000 but I've not been able to work out how to do this and I couldn't see anytihng in SQL Books Online..
TIA for any help...

SS2000 Performance - Unconvincing
Mar 3, 2003Dear Listers,
Has anyone experienced performance degradation after converting / uprading from SS7 -> SS2000 ? .... wrt executing a reporting stored proc. that creates dynamic sql and makes extensive use of temporary tables.
If so, what measures were taken to progress towards a final resolution ?
Our scenario:
SS7 code was executed in isolation. ie. it was the only instance running on the box. When the SS7 job had completed, the SS7 instance was shutdown and the SS2000 instance was started .... then the SS2000 code was executed
- Identical h/ware (The SS7 and SS2000 were installed on the same box)
- Identical schema, indexes, triggers, views
- db files on identical RAID5 array
- Stats updated
- Tables reindexed
- data & procedure caches purged
Note that the temporary table(s) were NOT indexed.
TIA

Can All SS2000 Jobs Run As Owner Sa?
Sep 6, 2007We have several servers, each with many jobs. Some jobs run as Owner "SA", and some jobs running as various domain admin accounts. We have been told to modify all jobs to run with Owner "SA". Now, some of the jobs read or write flat files and I am a little concerned about this. Does the domain account which starts the SS2000 services determine the rights to read and write files? If so, I guess changing all jobs owners to "SA" has no real risk?
Thanks!

SS2000 Error: No Mapping Between Account Names And Security IDs Was Done
Oct 25, 2007Hello all;
I am trying to form a replication system but at the very beginning i couldn't pass an obstacle.
While trying to create the Replication it says i have to change the user which starts the SQL Agent because the current starter user account is a system account and this will make the replication between servers fail.
"SQL Server Agent on OZN currently uses the system account, which causes the replication between the servers fail. In the following dialog box, specify another account for the service startup account."
I change it in the properties dialog box of the SQL Server Agent. The new account is the one I formed and granted accordingly. But it gives the following error when I try to apply the changes.
" Error 22042: xp_SetSQLSecurity() returned error -2147023564, 'No mapping between account names and security IDs was done' "
I tried many things, searched in the net, changed the owner of the database, applied new accounts, many grants, applied service pack 4, etc...
If anyone helps it will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance...
