Multi-Merge Transform
Jun 14, 2006
I would like a component that has the following functionality (if this already exists, let me know):
Pretty much, I want a multiple input merge join transform that joins X number of inputs so long as they have the same sorted key value. I only care about inner joins.
The reason for this component is that I have a data flow that is having to perform a LOT of lookups. Having to do them one after another is incredibly slow, so I thought that I could multi-cast them and perform several at once, which works fine, but merging the army of split inputs is messy with multiple sorts and merge join transforms. I can live with it this way, but having a single transform to collect all the inputs would look a lot nicer and a lot less to configure.
Cheers!

I have used the following useful article regarding exporting a multi-record file:
http://vsteamsystemcentral.com/cs21/blogs/steve_fibich/archive/2007/09/25/multi-record-formated-flat-file-with-ssis.aspx
I have created the 9 datasources, ordering each on a field commmon to all.
I have created the required derived columns headers and have merged all the record types into a file.
The resulting file looks fine, except for the odd blank line between record types. Any ideas regarding cause and what to do to fix?
Any help is most appreciated!

I have created the 2 datasources, ordering each on a field commmon to both.
I have created the two derived columns headers and am now moving on to the merge.
It is failing with the following error:
"the input is not sorted"
And whilst I definitely have an order by on the query, when I look at the metadata between the datasource and the derived column, the Sort Key Position items displays "0" for all my fields, I was expecting the sort field to have a "1" in this column. What am I missing?
Any help would be most appreciated!

Disaster Recovery Options based on the following criteria.
--Currently running SQL 2012 standard edition
--We have 18000 databases (same schema across databases)- majority of databases are less than 2gb-- across 64 instances approximately
--Recovery needs to happen within 1 hour (Not sure that this is realistic
-- We are building a new data center and building dr from the ground up.
What I have looked into is:
1. Transactional Replication: Too Much Data Not viable
2. AlwaysOn Availability Groups (Need enterprise) Again too many databases and would have to upgrade all instances
3. Log Shipping is a viable option and the only one I can come up with that would work right now. Might be a management nightmare but with this many databases probably all options with be a nightmare.

More often than not, I typically don't touch DTC on clusters anymore; however on a project where the vendor states that it's required. So a couple things here.
1) Do you really need DTC per instance or one for all?
2) Should DTC be in its own resource group or within the instance's group?
2a) If in it's own resource group, how do you tie an instance to an outside resource group? tmMappingSet right?

Hello,I am trying to construct a query across 5 tables but primarily 3tables. Plan, Provider, ProviderLocation are the three primary tablesthe other tables are lookup tables for values the other tables.PlanID is the primary in Plan andPlanProviderProviderLocationLookups---------------------------------------------PlanIDProviderIDProviderIDLookupTypePlanNamePlanIDProviderStatusLookupKeyRegionIDLastName...LookupValue....FirstName...Given a PlanID I want all the Providers with a ProviderStatus = 0I can get the query to work just fine if there are records but what Iwant is if there are no records then I at least want one record withthe Plan information. Here is a sample of the Query:SELECT pln.PlanName, pln.PlanID, l3.LookupValue as Region,p.ProviderID, p.SSNEIN, pl.DisplayLocationOnPCP,pl.NoDisplayDate, pl.ProviderStatus, pl.InvalidDate,l1.LookupValue as ReasonMain, l2.LookupValue as ReasonSub,pl.InvalidDataFROM Plans plnINNER JOIN Lookups l3 ON l3.LookupType = 'REGN'AND pln.RegionID = l3.Lookupkeyleft outer JOIN Provider p ON pln.PlanID = p.PlanIDleft outer JOIN ProviderLocation pl ON p.ProviderID = pl.ProviderIDleft outer JOIN Lookups l1 ON l1.LookupType = 'PLRM'AND pl.ReasonMain = l1.LookupKeyleft outer JOIN Lookups l2 ON l2.LookupType = 'PLX1'AND pl.ReasonSub = l2.LookupkeyWHERE pln.PlanID = '123456789' AND pl.ProviderStatus = 0ORDER BY p.PlanID, p.ProviderID, pl.SiteLocationNumI know the problew the ProviderStatus on the Where clause is keepingany records from being returned but I'm not good enough at this toanother select.Can anybody give me some suggestions?ThanksDavid

I am new to Reporting Services and hope that what I am looking to do is within capabilities :-)
I have many identical schema databases residing on a number of data servers. These support individual clients accessing them via a web interface. What I need to be able to do is run reports across all of the databases. So the layout is:
Dataserver A
Database A1
Database A2
Database A3
Dataserver B
Database B1
Database B2
Dataserver C
Database C1
Database C2
Database C3
I would like to run a report that pulls table data from A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3
Now the actual number of servers is 7 and the number of databases is close to 1000. All servers are running SQL2005.
Is this something that Reporting Services is able to handle or do I need to look at some other solution?
Thanks,
Michael

I have database on SQL Server 2000 set up with a merge publication.This publication is configured with a number of dynamic filters toreduce the amount of data sent to each client. Each client has ananonymous pull subscription. The merge process can be triggered by thewindows sync manager and my application.To improve performance I have created some helper tables to hold themapping between user login and primary keys of selected entities.For the replicated data to be correct the contents of the helper tablesneeds to be up to date.I need to fire off a stored procedure on the publisher beforereplication starts to verify that this data is up to date. I can notsee any documented way of doing this however I have been experimentingwith some unorthodox systems.Firstly has anyone any ideas?I have been considering adding a trigger to some of the tables used bythe Microsoft replication code - yes I know this is very nasty.My problems arise because executing this stored procedure will causesome data to be updated. In updating data we could create a newgeneration in the database. I must therefore run my stored procedurebefore any the Microsoft code makes any generation checks / updates.Anyone done anything similar, Anyone have any better ideas?Any comments would be gratefully received.

Hi,
I'm using merge replication to maintain a backup copy of my main (publisher)MSDE database. A push subscription periodically (1 per minute) updates the backup DB.
It's intended that if the main db goes down then the backup (subscription) db can be configured as a publisher. This must all be performed via scripting.
The initial configuration of the main publisher and subscription is controlled via scripting, which works fine.
The problems occur when I try to configure the subsciber to become a publisher. A script is executed on the subscriber but fails at the point when it's configuring the publisher detail. The error is something like "unable to configure a publication for a database setup as an anonymous subscription".
I'm guessing that there are subscritpion artifacts added to the database which need to be removed before it can be configured as a new publisher.
Please help,
Jez W

I am importing data from Excel to a SQL table using a simple DTS. At times the DTS fails because one of the columns in the Excel file may have an invalid time date entry. Sometimes the time will be an invalid negative number and will cause an overflow error durring import to the SQL table column.
Is there a way to capture the data before writing it to the table and validate it and if it is invalid, or more specifically a negative nuimber, enter a default value or a null value?
If there is could you be specific in how to setup the DTS transformation script.
TIA

Hi,
My requirement is to check whether value of a particular column is null or not. if it is null I have to enter warning messages into the temp table I have created.
For this I am using Script Transform
Now I want to know how to write info from script transform to a table using SSIS.
Currently I am using the following code in script component
[Code]
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
Dim ConnString As String
ConnString = "Data Source=ABC;Initial Catalog=XXXX;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
Dim sqcn As New SqlConnection(ConnString)
''Dim sqlCmd As New SqlCommand(ConnString, sqcn)
'sqcn.Open()
if Row.Col1_IsNull Then
sqlCmd.CommandText = "Insert into AuditLog values('ERROR','Missing','" + Row.Col5 + "','" + Row.Col6 + "') "
sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
end if
End Sub
[/Code]
Without using SqlConnection and SqlCommand is thereany way I can get the Connection Obj and able to insert rec in the table.
Thanks

Hi All ,
I am creating packages from a template package whicg I have built ,I have managed to implement basically everything sucessfully .Setting Properties on all the different tasks ,Connections etc except for the OLE DB Command transform.
I have not been sucessfull in getting to the properties or collections which allows me to do the mapping of the Command to parameters (Command Below),I am aware that the command executes for every row . I really need help with how to now do the mapping between the columns and the Paramaters programmatically in c#
I have set the sql command properties of the OLE DB Command Transform,as below
//Setting Update Comand ComponentProperties
IDTSComponentMetaData90 oledbCMDUpdate = dataflow.ComponentMetaDataCollection[0];
oledbCMDUpdate.Name = "name" ;
oledbCMDUpdate.RuntimeConnectionCollection[0].ConnectionManagerID = pack.Connections[0].ID;
CManagedComponentWrapper instanceCMD = oledbCMDUpdate.Instantiate();
instanceCMD.SetComponentProperty("SqlCommand", GetUpdateSQL(tablename)) ;
The Sql that is returned by the GetUpdateSQL(tablename)) method is below
UPDATE [ADM_AdjustmentAction]
SET AdjustmentActionCode = ?
,AdjustmentActionName = ?
,AdjustmentActionDescription = ?
,AdjustmentActionEFD = ?
,AdjustmentActionETD = ?

I'm new to SQL Server 2005. I used the TRANSFORM query in Access to display the data I had stored in columns into rows. I want to do something similar in SQL Server 2005 but it doesnt let me. I have used the same query here, but it gives an error.
This is the query I was running in Access and it was working:
TRANSFORM Max(Schools.Expense) AS MaxOfExpense
SELECT Schools.[FiscalYear], Max(Schools.[FIPS]) AS [Total Of FIPS]
FROM Schools
GROUP BY Schools.[FiscalYear], Schools.[FIPS]
PIVOT Schools.[DataID];
If there some other syntax for SQL Server or it doesnt support this command or what???

I have a very simple problem I am trying to solve.
I have a table with a "DateEntered" field, and I have an ssis pkg set up to load data from a file into the database table. I just want to make sure that no one loads the same file twice in one day.
For example, if today is 8/22/07, and "DateEntered" is "2007-08-22", then I want to add a Lookup transform to run a query that will check and see if there's any rows in the table with a "DateEntered" is "2007-08-22". If so, don't load the file again!
Here's my query:
SELECT Code
FROM myTable
WHERE DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, DateEntered), 0) = DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
(all the dateadd stuff is doing is removing the time portion from the DateEntered field, so we are comparing apples to apples).
Now, if the query returns a bunch of "Codes" then we know that the data has already been entered for the day! So far, so good.
Now, how do I set up the Lookup to get it to work? I'm getting this error message:
Error 1 Validation error. Data Flow Task: Lookup [1299]: The lookup transform must contain at least one input column joined to a reference column, and none were specified. You must specify at least one join column. FXRateLoader.dtsx 0 0
But I thought I did this! On the columns tab, I have:
Lookup column: code
Lookup operation: Replace 'code'
Output alias: code
I have my error output set to:
Lookup output - redirect row
I don't know what I'm doing, obviously..........!
Need assistance :-)

I am in the process of creating a simple managed stored procedure using C# and VS2005. The goal is to transforms an Xml document with a Xslt file that may contain a very simple script .
<msxsl:script language="C#" implements-prefix="user">
<![CDATA[
public static string Lower(string value)
{return value.ToLower();}
]]>
</msxsl:script>
At this stage my stored procedure code is extremly simple.
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
public static void Manufacture(string xsltFile, string xmlFile)
{
XslCompiledTransform xslt = new XslCompiledTransform(false);
PermissionSet ps1 = new PermissionSet(PermissionState.Unrestricted);
XmlSecureResolver resolver = new XmlSecureResolver(new XmlUrlResolver(), ps1);
xslt.Load(xsltFile, XsltSettings.TrustedXslt, resolver);
....more code....
xslt.Transform(xmlFile, xslArg, ms);
}
If I execute the SP above and the script exists in the Xslt file, I get the following error upon loading the Xslt file. If I remove the script it transforms perfectly.
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'Manufacture': System.Security.SecurityException: Request failed.
System.Security.SecurityException:
at System.Xml.Xsl.Xslt.Scripts.CompileClass(ScriptClass script)
at System.Xml.Xsl.Xslt.Scripts.CompileScripts()

at System.Xml.Xsl.XslCompiledTransform.Load(String stylesheetUri, XsltSettings settings, XmlResolver stylesheetResolver)
I have tried messing around with CAS and giving virtually everything full trust. Nothing resolves the issue.
Any ideas?

When I first try to lookup the date 17-04-2006, doesnt give me any records... and I need to create a new lookup for the next date from 17-04-2006. And in this example the next date is 18-04-2006.. How can I do it??
I made a sql query date gives me the next date with 2 parameters ... but I'm having some errors...
SELECT TOP 1 Data
FROM Spot_Rates
WHERE (Currencies_Name = ?) AND (Data > CONVERT(DATETIME, ?, 102))
ORDER BY Data DESC
In this exampple, the parameters returned from lookup1 is:
Currencies_name= 'DOLAR ESTADOS UNIDOS'
DATE='17-04-2006'
I need to create a second lookup transform to return the next date/currency for each row that didnt match in the first lookup...

Pedro

I want to do something relatively simple with SSIS but can't find an easy way to do this (isint it always the case with SSIS )
I have a column lets say called iorg_id, and I want to lookup the matching rows for this col in a table.
In this table iorg_id may have several potential matching rows. In this table there is another col called 'Amount'.
I want to retrieve for each iorg_id the matching iorg_id in the other table but only the row with the largest value in the 'Amount' col.
I couldn't find a way to do this all in the Lookup Transform.
I can match the iorg_ids and retrieve the Amount column, but can't find a way just to retrieve the matching row with the largest value in the Amount col. The only way I can think to do this is then run the output from the Transform through an Aggregate function and determine the Max (although haven't tested this yet).
Seems strange to me in that the SQL in the Advanced tab gives me something like:
select * from
(select * from [dbo].[Table1]) as refTable
where [refTable].[iorg_id] = ?
where I believe the first 'select *' is retrieving all the cols that are listed in the LookupColumns list in the Columns tab.
I thought I would be able to amend this to something like:
select max(amount) from
(select * from [dbo].[Table1]) as refTable
where [refTable].[iorg_id] = ?
but I get a metadata type error.
So, questions are:
Is it possible to do this all in the Lookup Transform are do I have to use the Aggregate function as I think ?
Why is it not possible to amend the sql in the Advanced tab to manipulate the returned data ?

Hi,
On my MS SQL Server 2000, I am trying to create a generic way to load tables into my datawarehouse.
I have as input to the process a large number of table definition(s) stored individually as files on my server. And, ascii delimited data files in various locations but mostly accessible via NFS mounts.
I created two DTS package in MSSQL2K that in theory represents what I want to do:
package1
... invoke package2 with global variables to load a system of related tables
package2
... check for a trigger file
... set the "Execute SQL Task" statement to my first file
... run the "Execute SQL Task" which drop/add's a table
... set a "Connection" to a data source file that I want to use
... run the transformation
and, with that my package starts to fall apart
... set the "Execute SQL Task" statement to the next file, and
...... goback and execute it
I can't figure out how to set the table in the transformation section to the table I want to use. And, I assume next to have the transformations links between the source and new table relinked.
The source files contain in the first row the column names as found in the tables I just created.
thanks,
Dave Rowsome

Hi all, new to SSIS so please bear with me on the noobie question:
Situation: have a SQL database with several tables, each table has several char fields that represent dates (ex. YYYYMMDDHHMMSSMS)- this SQL database is created weekly from an extract of an old Oracle RDB database maintained by a third party vendor.
Need to copy the data to a new database and tables
Then for each table:
1. check each char date column and if the value is '1858111700000000' (Oracle dummy date) then change to SQL low date, if it's not then transform the date into SQL server date format. I' ve tried some of the data controls - just need to know which ones to use and in what order.
What would be the best controls to do iterative processing in an efficiant manner? Some tables have upto 5 million rows
Any Ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,this is easy with OLAP tools, but I need to do it just with MS-SQLserver:fatTableyeartypeval97a197b297c398a498b598c6....yeartype_atype_btype_c971239845699...The problem is number of different types - not just 3 like a,b,c butmore than 100, so I don't want to do it manually likeselectyear, a.val, b.val, c.valfrom(select year, val from factTable where type='a') afull join (select year, val from factTable where type='b') bon a.year = b.yearfull join (select year, val from factTable where type='c') con a.year = c.yearis it possible somehow with DTS or otherwise? I just need to presentthe data in spreadsheet in more readable form, but I cannot find anyway how to export the result from MS-SQLserverOLAPservices to Excel...Martin

I am trying to digest this logic, and have been unsuccessful so far. I am designing a package for incremental loads, but the destination table has a composite primary key on 2 columns, one of which is nullable. The source data comes from a SPROC. Uptill now, I have been banging my head trying to get this logic to work via the Lookup transform with a conditional split, but it doesn't work. Am I on the right track, or should I be using the SCD Wizard?
As a side note, I have been trying to work a solution using Andrew's blogpost on doing incremental loads: http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andy_leonard/archive/2007/07/09/ssis-design-pattern-incremental-loads.aspx
Thanks.

Hey, did someone try to use the pivot transform?
It's not what you would call easy to configure...
In BOL there is the following section:
ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/extran9/html/55f5db6e-6777-435f-8a06-b68c129f8437.htm
I have followed the instructions there and I get an error when I try to map the new output column to the pivotkey:
"Output column "Yellow" (69) cannot be mapped to PivotKey input column"
So I mapped the new output column to the column holding the quantity values. This worked.
May this be a bug in BOL?
Further on I got some strange behaviour of the pivot transform:
My input is the following CSV-Flatfile:
sk1;sk2;pk1;qty
A;1;Yellow;2
A;1;Green;1
B;1;Yellow;5
A;2;Blue;3
A;2;Green;9
A;1;Green;5
If I omit the last line, everything is fine.
When passing the file as is into the pivot transform the output is:
SK1 SK2 Yellow Green Blue
A 1 2 1 NULL
B 1 5 NULL NULL
A 2 NULL 9 3
A 1 NULL 5 NULL
As you can see the key a;1 is duplicate. The cols SK1 and SK2 are my primary key of the destination table.
When the input is sorted by the first two colums the pivot transform throws an Error:
Error: 0xC02020CF at Pivot w sort, Pivot [39]: Duplicate pivot key value "Green".
I expected to have a sum over all Green for the key A;1. It seems that I have to use an aggregate which in my opinion should
be obsolete here.
As a conclusion I have to say that this task is far away from perfect but not bad for a start.
Regards
Fridtjof
