I am trying to move an entire SSIS project from one machine to another (with a different directory structure) in a Development environment. In addition to the packages themselves I have Data Sources and Data Source Views defined. I also have connection managers for Excel and SQL Server that use those data sources, and connection managers for flat files for my error logs. Finally, I have saved my package configurations in an XML file.
I've followed the steps in the following post to move my packages:
What else exactly do I need to do, though, to move my complete project. My objective is to start up BIDS on the new server, File -> Open -> Project/Solution and point it to the new <project>.sln file and have it work. I know I need to edit my config XML file, but other than that, how do I properly move/recreate the data sources, data source views, and solution files in the new location. I've tried several things, but with no luck.
For some reason in a Team Foundation Team Project that has multiple project types (SSRS, SSIS, WebSite, C# Business DLL...), the SSIS project makes itself the startup project to the team project. If I explicitly set another project as the startup project to the team project and then select an SSIS package in the SSIS project in the team project, the SSIS project becomes the startup project automatically.
I have a Visual Studio 2005 solution which contains a Sql Server Integration Services (SSIS) project.
In this solution I have explicitly set a Web application project as startup project, but whenever I edit a DTS package within the SSIS project, VS automatically sets the SSIS project as startup project and the package I edit as startup object.
Needless to say, this may cause some really unwanted incidents when running the solution - thinking that you're about to run the Web application project (that was explicitly set as startup project), but instead, you run the edited package in the SSIS project.
Is there any way to avoid having the SSIS project automatically setting itself as startup project, any workaround here at all? :)
in order to maintain a deployed project into an Integration Services Catalog I'd like to know if it is possible to import it into a new project inside SSDT.
I've got an SSIS solution file with project deployment model in VS 2013 and would like to deploy that to SSISDB on different environments.All these days I followed the regular way to create a project in SSISDB and deploy it to that. Now want to find out if i can automate this process and so got some questions
1. Can we automate the process of creating a project on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name? This will be like when we do a deployment it should check if the project exists or not on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name, if the project exists we just deploy the packages in the project and if the project does not exists in SSISDB it will create that project and deploy the packages.
2. Can we also automate the process of creating environments? In traditional way we manually create the environment variables under environment tab of SSISDB, but can we make that also as part of deployment? Like when we are releasing to Dev server we look if that particular Dev variable exists on that server, if it exists we just update the existing stuff and if it does not exists we just create it.
Hey, I have copied a C# express edition project from another machine and have opened the project up and changed the connection string but the project is not updating the database when I try to insert values from textboxes in forms. They seem do be getting into the dataset but not the sql datatabase. I am getting alot of messages saying that it could not find the schema information for the dataset. Could these errors have anything to do with the project? What else do I have to change in the project?
My old database server runs SQL 2000 and has the CRM 3.0 app and database, our corporate web site (SharePoint Services 3.0) database, and Project Server 2007 database. The corporate site and project apps and web sites reside on our file server.
I want to move, upgrade or migrate the databases, corporate site and Project site to this new SQL 2005 server. I am a little unsure the best way to do this.
Should I move all the database first, then move the apps?
Should I do a restore of everything on the new server, and after I know it works just turn off the other server?
Is there a way to include, edit, and organize the scripts to create functions, stored procedures, and views in an Integration Services project? If not, does anyone have suggestions on how to organize all the code that would surround a SSIS solution?
Is there any use of creating an SSIS Setup project? Since the Package Installation Wizard already does a good job of it?
Which brings up a question - why dont SSIS Packages compile to a dll just like any other .NET project? It seems interpreted from the .dtsx file except for the Script Tasks of Components which are pre-compiled.
Why did MS change the design language all of a sudden?
But please answer - is there any use of creating an SSIS Setup project?
I installed BIDS, but I don't see any SSIS projects to create.
When I click File - > New Project I see the following options under "Business Intelligence Projects" section.
1. Report Server Project Wizard 2. Report Server Project
No where do I see anything about SSIS or integration services projects. Am I missing something? Did I not download something?
I have Windows XP SP2 Visual Studio .Net 2005 SQL Server 2005 Express SQL Server Management Studio Express Installed Business Intelligence Development Studio
My company has a SQL 2005 server that I connect to in which I want to run SSIS projects off of.
I'm sure I'm just missing something small. Can someone point me to the right direction?
When I start a new project the BI environment cannot open the DTSX package and I get only one tab with the message:
"microsoft visual studio is unable to load this document. Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
I tried uninstall and install of BI Development Studio as well as a repair install of Visual Studio 2005. None of which helped. Please help me to get this fixed.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I'll try...
I have to execute an integration service package in an .adp project. In other words, click of the button on the adp window has to start a package or a job.
Can that be done? And if yes, how? I've been searching the Web but without success.
Our team has the following problem: I create a SSIS project in VS and add it to Team Source Control. When the project and all it's files exist on a machine and I want to open the project from Source Control, everithing works fine, but when another developer, who doesn't have the files on his machine, wants to open the project from Source Control he is required to check out the project file.
I've investigated the problem and found out that each project has a database file (with .database extension) and project file contains a reference to it. Once the user opens from Team Source Control a project that isn't presented on a target machine, the VS creates a new database file on a local machine and insists to change the reference in the project file.
Hi, 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".
In solution explorer under SSIS Packages there are many packages. I name them specifically so that they should be ordered with their names, but no the solution explorer shows them in the order I added them, I couldn't figure out a way but removing all the packages and adding them in the right order to fix that problem. I have to kinda redo this if I want to add a new package not to the end.
This is really a question for MS. Will the VS2005 project types for SSIS projects be installable in VS2008.
A lot of work has gone into VS2008 to allow developers to develop .net2.0 - .Net 3.0 applications in the same environment. It would be a same if us data folk have to keep VS2005 around to support SSIS 2005 projects.
I have written package which goes through a directory and load all the files with certain criteria. I have set the package to run using package configuration. It does work fine.
In my local client installation of the BI tools, I get the following error when simply creating an SSIS project and the default empty Package tries to display on the screen.
Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.
I can use the Reporting Services designer with no problems, and I can use SSIS from the client tools on the server. It is just on my local PC that I get this error. I have completely uninstalled all the tools and reinstalled with no luck.
I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 and Visual Studio 2008. However, after several installations and un-installations. I could no longer use the SSIS to create New Projects. I cleaned out the registry with a Registry cleaner from Wise. I deleted the SQL Server and Visual Studio folders as well.
When I create a New SSIS Project, I immediately get an error as follows:
"Microsoft Visual Studio" "An error prevented the view from loading." "Additional information:" "Specified Module cannot be Found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)" "(System.Windows.Forms)"
What this means is that I cannot create any new SSIS Projects.
When you create a SSIS Project in Visual Studio and start adding many, many SSIS and several people do it, they are not being sorted when they get loaded into Visual Studio environment, unlike other objects such as web forms in ASP.NET or classes. as you can imagine, if you have about 100 of SSIS, it makes it very hard for anyone to find one SSIS to alter it.
all these packages are being stored in some xml file, right? so, my boss wants me to write a tool that will open this file and order SSIS by names to make it easier for anyone in a team. i was wondering if anyone has done something like this already, or started. any leads, comments will be appreciated.
This may be a very easy question to answer, but I cannot figure out the answer for the life of me. I have set up a simple SSIS project based on a template that gathers information from several servers. I would like for this package to be almost completely automated and run nightly. Is there a setting I can add to make it run everyday?
1)I usually connect to my remote server via TS using a specific login (it belong to Admins) and through that user I open my SSIS projects (30 packages). Now, I have a new user and the same operation take a long time and I don't know why (same permissions) the reasons for this big delay.
2)When I'm gonna to press "Delete all Breakpoints" from Debug menu BIDS is closed. Previously appears a Microsoft dialog (Microsoft has encountered an error...) asking if you inform or not of these errors.
At First sorry for my English. I have a Problem with a SSIS Project with a Process Task. If I start the Project in Visual Studio then it work with no problems. But when I start it in a Order with the Sql Server-Agent, its run infinitely.
There is no error message, the Server Agent says that the job work, I can see the .exe file in the task manager. but it will no really executed.
I have a mixed solution with a C# project and an SSIS project. Now matter how many times I set the C# project as the startup project, it seems that as soon as I make a change to the SSIS package, it decides that it's so unbelievably important that it HAS to be the startup project. Is there any way to disable this?
I've not really used SSIS for a while, and I'm now building some in 2012 and trying to utilise some of the features in the 2012 SSIS catalogue; however I've hit a bit of a stumbling block.
What I'm trying to do is have a master/child package relationship, with several child packages and where the child packages themselves are dynamically called (i.e. the master package may call a different child package based upon some value or state of data already processed.)
When I try and create an expression for the PackageNameFromProject property... well, that property doesn't appear to set dynamically. I know how to do this for old style packages by creating expressions for the package name etc; but that way I can't use the package parameters I have from my master package.
while working on deployment to production server of an SSIS project, I have noticed that development priject has "disappeared" from my development machine which, obviously, was not my intention, at all. I now get the error prompt saying this:
what am I suppose to do in order to RESTORE it on devel machine like it used to be?
I had a package that was deployed to the SSIS server. That server went away. I would like to now deploy the package to a file system. What settings do I need to change in the package so that it will not attempt to deploy to a non-existant server?
