Moving Text File Properties For Sql2k Dts To Sql25k Ssis Packages???
Jun 2, 2006
Hi everyone,
We€™ve got almost 250 old dts packages which simply loading data into Sql tables from plain files or at the reverse point. Most of them are defined with fixed fields and its fixed positions one after one. We don€™t want to migrate them using Import wizard, on the contrary we€™re producing them from the beggining taking advantatge of SSIS architecture to the full.
And now, we€™re trying to imagine how to migrate automatically that valuable info from Sql Server 2000 to Sql Server 2005 without efforts€¦ You know, any program be able to move that detailed info
to SSIS.
So we would avoid to select again all these positions per each file -very tedious and we're lazy
I don€™t see how except, of course, migrate them directly
Let me know if you need further explanations or more clarity on that.
Happy 2008!!!! I am inserting data into a tab delimted text file using SSIS package. After data insetion some extra tabs get added between columns in some rows in the text file. Can we programmatically delete the extra tabs from the text file, if so how to use/implement the code inside the SSIS package? Any pointer/suggestions are welcome.
I have a requirement of logging the failure and the error of a job executing a SSIS package to text file. However, when I go to job step -> Advanced, in the section "SQL Server Integration Services Package" where that info to setup logging is, it is blank and just says:
"There are no options for this command type"
Any ideas?
I thought that this might not be supported in Standard Edition as I am running standard edition. Then I checked on two other servers, where I have Enterprise edition with SP2. On one of the installations, I am able to give the log file, the other one still shows,
"There are no options for this command type"
What is the problem? Both of them I am using the sysadmin role account. I have proxy account created on both the SQL instances. I don't think this is the problem, but still I checked this.
hi, does anyone know how can i move a group of ssis packages from the original path into another one in the same server???? from ssis services? just like we do it with the windows explorer????
Hi JayH (or anyone). Another week...a new set of problems. I obviously need to learn .net syntax, but because of project deadlines in converting from DTS to SSIS it is hard for me to stop and do that. So, if someone could help me some easy syntax, I would really appreciate it.
In DTS, there was a VBScript that copied a set of flat files from one directory to an archive directory after modifying the file name. In SSIS, the directory and archive directory will be specified in the config file. So, I need a .net script that retrieves a file, renames it and copies it to a different directory.
I've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
I have a text file and moved the data to sql server using import and export data. These are step I am doing.
1. Open Microsoft Sql Server and select DTS Import Export Wizard 2. Using the wizard , I am selecting the Data Source as Text File and provided the file name. 3. In the next option, I am choosing Delimited , followed by Tab option.
4. Then, I am selecting the required Destination and the required Database also. 5. I am choosing the files specified and Run the file.
This method works perfectly.
However, I want a method, where I could avoid steps 1 thru 5 and provide the user a singe step. I mean just an execute of a stored procedure should do the steps 1 thru 5. Is that possible.
I am moving a SQL 2k database from a Windows 2000 server to a Windows 2003 server (seperate appliances) and would like as little SQL downtime as possible.
I have several applications that I believe are connecting to servernow by servernow€™s name and don€™t want to have to figure out how to change them to servernew. Would it work if I built servernew and copied/moved the SQL database to servernew, then take servernow off line and change servernew€™s name to servernow?
I am open to any suggestions on other more appropriate methods.
So 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.
I am not able to open the package in BIDS. When I open the package I am seeing only the XML. Below I had given what I have done.
First I have installed Visual studio 2008 Professional and next I installed SQL Server 2005 with Integration services, database services, workflow components.
I am able to see the BIDS in Start --> All Programes --> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 --> "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio"
Greetings all,This should be an easy task, and Im sure it is, but as many times as I havetried, I cant seem to get this to work properly.We changed ISPs recently from a shared host to a co-located server, and ourformer host was nice enough to send us a backup of our old SQL2000 database(about 5MB).I went into Enterprise Manager, created an empty database with the same nameand used the Restore Backup tool successfully. I took a look at the db andsaw all the Tables and data intact.Next I wanted to re-create the DSN to match the old one so that I wouldnthave to fiddle with any of the old connection strings in my asp pages.Thats where the fun began. The old DSN was created by our host via an emailrequest and I never got a look at the actual creation process of that DSN.I created one on our colo server with the same name, but it would only passthe connection tests when I used the Windows User Authentication rather thanSQL Server Authentication. No big deal I figured, and just went ahead andset it up using the same DSN name.Next I tried the main.asp page to test the DSN and lo and behold I got theODBC connection errors. I tinkered with the connection strings a bit andmanaged to get a wide variety of connection errors and fine-tuned to thepoint that it said "Unable to login with user 'SERVER169/nacog'". At thispoint, I went into Enterprise manager and added 'nacog' to the User list andthe connection string no longer produced errors. (By the way, my connectionstring simply contains "DSN=YAVAPAICONNECT;")My next step was to actually execute a SELECT statement which produced thefollowing error:Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e09'[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]SELECT permission denied onobject 'ADMINS', database 'YAVAPAICONNECT', owner 'dbo'./nacog/admin/main.asp, line 189Why was I not surprised?I went back to Enterpise Manager, saw the all the tables had 'dbo' as theowner, and tried to give 'nacog' all the permissions at the table level, butthe error persists.To preserve my sanity I stopped there, because I spun my wheels for hoursand days the last time this happened. and my eye has not stopped twitchingsince ;)I am quite sure that this has something to do with one or all of thefollowing:1) The way SQL2K was installed (it was installed by someone else)2) My creation of the db with the windows login, rather than SQL auth, priorto import3) My creation and handling of the DSNMy background is mainly in ASP programming, and I understand bits and piecesof this puzzle, but for the life of me I cannot piece this thing together.Can anyone help point me in the right direction or suggest a good tutorial?I would be very thankful to anyone who could help put me on the right track.Best Regards,Ben M.
I need to open a File through File connection manager and want to assign these file properties to SSIS precreated varibale or Newly created varibale. I want to show file properties in Propertygrid. Properties grid will conatin File Propeties Column and SSIS varibale Combobox column. The combo box will contain New variable field. When user select New Variable field, then a new SSIS varibale window will open and we can able create New variable and that Newly created variable should add to that property comboBox.
For Instance if we create a new varibale Name "Creationdate" by clicking on New Varible in ComboBox, then that CreationDate variable should add to Property ComboBox in PropertyGrid. After adding when we select that variable Name "Creationdate" then that selected file Creation date should assign to SSIS varibale "Creationdate" field.
I am trying to utilize DTUtil command to automate deployment of SSIS Package from the Build Server to Dev Server. I am getting an invalid option error, when I try to run the following command:
Currently I have a .CMD file, in which I have the above command, and I am trying to run the CMD file and it returns an error. Can someone help me the DTUtil switches. My goal is to move a DTSX file from Server A(Build Server) to Server B(Dev Server). Also is there a switch to specify the server name, if UNC path is not supported. Also I am using File System Deployment, and running the file as an Administrator. I have admin privs on both Build and Dev Server. Thanks and I appreciate some help on this.
Hi, newbie to sql2005. I am trying to write a VB.NET program to list all ssis packages we have stored in a file folder (not in MSDB) where both SqlServer and ssis servers are located. These packages currently running on daily basis by automated jobs with no problem.
I have found the following link on the web that includes VB.Net program. If you scroll down under Example (SSIS Package Store) , you'll see a VB.NET program that I am trying to get it to work for me but keep getting error message like "Cannot find folder......"
My goal is to: 1. List all ssis packages stored in the file systems (.dstx) 2. List DB source and distination providers(tables in/out) in a ssis package 3. List properties for DB providers 4. List FlatFile & Excel file provider properties in a ssis package. My assumption, but not sure, is that I may need to register this file folder (where packages are located) to the SqlServer if that is not done already. Any command or sys table in Sql2005 to figure this out?
I would appreciate any help on this in advance. Thank You.
I have an SSIS package, that move file from one folder (Download) to another folder (Working), where it will be processed and passed to (Processed) folder. The folder (Working) is created at run time and deleted after finishing process. I ran this package using SQL Server Agent (I created a sql job). My problem is that the package fails to move the file from Download to Working, Although it can move it to other folders (say I skipped Working and move it directly to the already-created folder "Processed").
I traced the problem and found the error "Access is denied", when run the package without Agent (double click). I provided the necessary permissions to all levels of folders to the user XX, which I made it the (SQL Server Agent Service Account) as well as the Job Owner. By this, the package executes successfully (again by double clicking it), but with Agent it FAILS.
Why Agent cannot move the file to the run-time-created folder (Working) ?
Hello Experts, I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle). PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not.. What should go here ? ->Under Class A
Since I can't seem tofind the Microsoft SQL 2000 forum, I will post this here:
I currently have logging enable on several of my packages. However, we are still in development of our packages and are reaching upwards of 100 and logging will eventually need to be active on all of them. In production, there will still be a development server and a production server, both with different server names and user id/pwd.
I am looking for a way to dynamically change the logon information for the logging so that we do not have to have someone go through and manually change the options. I have tried using Dynamic Properties Task, but this only works on the 2nd run of the package.

As a second question: can anyone explain to me why the errordescription field in sysdtssteplog is cut short?
I have around 500 packages (SQL 2005)Â deployed in file system & all this packages are running on daily basis via SQL agent. Now I need to migrated all 500 packages into SQL server 2008 R2.
There is no inventory to track which package belogs to which team and any other information.
Now, I need a method to query the pakages connection string details with database respective. Is there any method?
Hi, I am using custom dll in script component in SSIS package. This dll is looking for some configuration settings and dsplays the message as "Configuration section could not be found in the configuration source" . Please tell me the configuration source it looks for.
After DTS Migration is "successful", I opened up dynamic properties step but I saw codes were all commented out inside the public class ScriptMain. Since I am not familiar with Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime, I'm not sure what methods I should use as there aren't much examples available online. How do I do the following in SISS way?
A common issue that I run across with clients is they want only want to process a file if it's finished transmitting to the server. This SQL Server 2005 task reads the properties of a file and writes the values to a series of variables. For example, you can use this task to determine if the file is in use (still be uploaded or written to) and then conditionally run the Data Flow task to load the file if it's not being used. You can also use it to determine when the file was created in order to determine if it must be archived.
Issue1: I have a sql 2k machine. I hav enabled full text indexing on this machine. There after, i inserted and updated so many records. When i do a search using the below query: It gaves me nothing
select * from table1 where contains ( col1,'"keyword"' )
Issue 2: Another issue is when i gives multiple columns in the below query for search, it throws up a syntax error message at (
select * from table1 where contains ( (col1,col2,col3),'"keyword"') )
Do sql 2k does not allow this format of query(above). But, the same is working fine with one column.
Any inputs on this is highly appreciated. Thanks! Santhosh
I'm attempting to import a UTF-16 BE (Big Endian) encoded text file via SSIS. The column delimiter is comma, and the row delimiter is a {LF}.
When I select the file in the "Flat file connection manager editor", the Unicode checkbox is automatically checked, the Format option is "Delimited"; I change the header row delimiter to {LF}, and check the box 'column names in first data row.
I then click on the "Columns" tab, change the row delimter to {LF}, and hit refresh, however the error comes up that the delimiter could not be found in the file.
The file does contain the UTF-16 BE Byte Order Mark.
If I convert the file to UTF-16 LE (Little Endian), the file is read successfully, with {LF} being detected as the row delimiter.
Two questions: - Does SSIS support import of text files that are UTF-16 BE encoded? - If yes, how can I get this to work.
I found an error message in the Books Online, when I searched for Endian "HResults.DTS_E_UTF16BIGENDIANFORMATNOTSUPPORTED Field - The file format of UTF-16 big endian is not supported. Only UTF-16 little endian format is supported." Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS (in microsoft.sqlserver.manageddts.dll)
However, I'm not sure as to what the above error applies to.
I am looping through a set of files and on each loop i process the file and move it to another folder. I am using File System task to do so and variables with destination path and name. It works fine.
Requirement :
However now I want that after processing the file, instead of moving it, I create an empty text file at the destination containing the file name. I want to do this with minimum effort. Can anyone suggest me the way.
I have been trying to move dts packages from one server to another server. I used the DTSBackup Utility to backup all the packages. The restore will not work.
If you know how to transfer Packages please let me know.
Hi boys and girls, I am a total newbie to ms sql. So please be gentle.
I have a ms sql database on one server but I need a duplicate of the ms sql database on another server with all packages and jobs duplicated on the new server.
I was able to export the database over to the new database on the new server no problems there.
The problem is under DTS I have "local packages" that all need to be moved to the new server. I am able to export them into my computer. But on the new server there is no import for the local packages. How do I get these packages onto the new server into my server's ms sql???
Also under the management and sql agent manager, there are jobs that are on the old db, that I need to go to the new server in ms sql.
