I was demonstrating some of SSIS's capabilities to our Software Development Manager and VP of IS. (We are deciding which ETL tool to use for our DW project. So goes this project goes the house).They liked what they saw and were crazy over Fuzzy lookup but commented that SSIS seems very much oriented toward the programmer side of the house. It was, maybe, not the best tool for the Business analysts who are working closely with us on this project.
Any comments on their comment?
I wonder if SSIS "data source views" (which I haven't looked at at all) address their concerns?
I'm trying to design a site for parent conference scheduling. Usually we have a couple of days appointment time, for example 5/8/2008, and 5/9/2008. and the time usally start at 7:00 and ends at 9:00. one appointment time lasts about 20 minutes. I would put a page something like this, after parent or student login, 1. they are asked to choose a date, 2.after the date is chosen, show available teacher names, 3, after the teachers are selected, for each teacher, it will show a list of radio buttons for parents to select the time period open, For example: teacher: John smith. time: 7:00; radio button 7:20 radio button 7:40 Booked............... 8:40 radio button 4, the student choose the available time, and then enter student name, then submit. I would like to know how to setup the database table and present to the users. Currently for this scheduling part I have tables like teachertable, scheduling table, Appointment table. Teacher table: teacherID, name, email, course,Scheduling table: appointD, TeacherID, room, appt date I think I will prepopulate the two tabels before conference time. and after user submit the selection, insert into Appointment table the other fields like scheduling ID, appoint time, and studentname. The things confuse me, is how can I deal with the appointment time fields, shall I add another table for appt time? should this field be prepopulatd to the table and pull from the table for student to select or something else? HOw can I do with this: if a teacher not available after 8, how can I excluded the time period for the teacher? Thanks
I need to report on what users have what permissions. This is the way we have it stored currently. There must be a better way to store or retrieve this info. in a warehouse. Ideas?
Thanks,

Is there a way to retrieve a returned value from a stored procedure w/out binding do a data presentationi control? I have the following sqldataprovider... <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" SelectCommand="f_GetUser" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:MyServer %>" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure"> <SelectParameters> <asp:formparameter name="username" formfield="txtusername" /> <asp:formparameter name="password" formfield="txtpassword" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> Do I have to make a gridview to get the value that is returned from this stored procedure? The SP only returns one value (a count of records) and I want to set it to a variable. Is there a way, similar to a recordset in ASP, that I can access that one value? here is my stored procedure... CREATE PROCEDURE f_GetUser @username varchar(50), @password varchar(50)
AS SELECT COUNT(*) AS numusers FROM f_Users WHERE username=@username AND password=@password I just want to retrieve "numusers" and use it in a conditional.... tia for your help

I was just messing around with some ad hoc views and table returningUDFs today so I could look at and print out data from a small tableand noticed something strange.If I stick my select statement into a View the columns are returned inthe order I specify in the SELECT, but if the same statement is in a UDF(so I can specify a parameter), the columns are not returned in theorder specified in statement.I know that relations don't have a specified column order, but it was myunderstanding that a SELECT statement could be used to define how youwant your data presented. Views seem to respect the order specified inthe SELECT, but functions don't.What am I missing? Is there some way to force the order of the columnsreturned from a SELECT?View:CREATE VIEW dbo.View1ASSELECT Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, ForStmt, IfStmt, ChildStmt,ThenStmt, ElseStmt, NextStmtFROM dbo.tblStmtWHERE (Ident LIKE '4.2.%')Column order from this view:Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, ForStmt, IfStmt, ChildStmt, ThenStmt,ElseStmt, NextStmtFunction:ALTER FUNCTION dbo.Function1(@SearchPrm varchar(255))RETURNS TABLEASRETURN ( SELECT Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, ForStmt, IfStmt,ChildStmt, ThenStmt, ElseStmt, NextStmtFROM dbo.tblStmtWHERE (Ident LIKE @SearchPrm) )Column order from this function:Type, Text, ElseStmt, NextStmt, IfStmt, ChildStmt, ThenStmt, Ident,ParentStmt, ForStmtTable:(I know that this table isn't entirely normalized, but it serves mypurposes to have a matrix instead of a fully normalized relation):CREATE TABLE dbo.tblStmt (StmtID INT IDENTITY(1,1) CONSTRAINT PK_Stmt PRIMARY KEY,Ident VARCHAR(255),Text TEXT,ErrorText TEXT,Type INT,ParentStmt VARCHAR(255),ChildStmt VARCHAR(255),IfStmt VARCHAR(255),ForStmt VARCHAR(255),ThenStmt VARCHAR(255),ElseStmt VARCHAR(255),NextStmt VARCHAR(255),FullName VARCHAR(255),LocalName VARCHAR(255),Method INT)INSERT INTO tblStmt Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, NextStmtVALUES('4.2.1', 'LineNumberOfResp := EMPTY' 64, '4.2', '4.2.2')INSERT INTO tblStmt Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, ChildStmt, ForStmt,NextStmtVALUES('4.2.2', 'FOR K:= 1 TO 2', 128, '4.2', '4.2.3','4.2.7')INSERT INTO tblStmt Ident, Text, Type ParentStmt, ChildStmt, ForStmt,NextStmtVALUES('4.2.3', 'Person[K].KEEP', 16, '4.2', '4.2.3.1', '4.2.2', '4.2.4')INSERT INTO tblStmt Ident, Text, Type, ParentStmt, NextStmtVALUES('4.2.3.1' 'AuxInterviewerName := DOSENV', 64, '4.2.3', '4.2.3.2')
create table #datatable (id int, name varchar(100), email varchar(10), phone varchar(10), cellphone varchar(10), none varchar(10) ); insert into #datatable exec ('select * from datatable where id = 1') select * from #datatable
I still want to retrieve the data and present it in the software's presentation layer but I still want to remove the temp table in order to reduce performance issue etc.
If I paste the code DROP
TABLE #datatable after insert into #datatable exec ('select * from datatable where id = 1')
Does it gonna work to present the data in the presentation layer after removing the temp table?
The goal is to retrieve the data from a stored procedure and present it in the software's presentation layer and I still need to remove the temptable after using it because I will use the SP many time in production phase.
Based on a table like below I have created a report so that I can compare number of items in the main warehouse (LOCATION1) and the outlets (LOCATION2 and LOCATION3).
___________________________________ | ID | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION Â | VALUE | ___________________________________ | 1 Â | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION1 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 2 Â | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION2 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 3 Â | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION3 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 4 Â | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION1 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 5 Â | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION2 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 6 Â | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION3 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 7 Â | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION1 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 8 Â | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION2 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 9 Â | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION3 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________
The way I present data in my Report is as such. I want to show items that are available in the warehouse that should be moved to the outlets.
select  a.PRODUCT_INDEX , a.LOCATION1(VALUE) , b.LOCATION2(VALUE) , c.LOCATION3(VALUE)  fromÂ
[Code] .....
__________________________________________________________________ | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | LOCATION3 (VALUE)| __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________
I have added some parameters in my report to filter out products that are not available in warehouse (LOCATION1) and this works great.
select * from VIEW where 'LOCATION1(VALUE)' > 0 and ('LOCATION2(VALUE)' = 0 or 'LOCATION3(VALUE)' = 0)
__________________________________________________________________ | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | LOCATION3 (VALUE)| __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________
Now the issue starts when I add a parameter to my report for user to choose which outlets (LOCATIONs) he wants in the equation. I know how to make a column disappear based on parameter value but how to take it out of equation? At the moment when user selects only LOCATION2 and not LOCATION3 then data is not filtered correctly:
__________________________________________________ | JOIN_ON_VALUES | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | __________________________________________________ | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________ | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________
Ideally I would like a user to select random outlets (warehouse would be static on the report) and compare one or multiple and only show records that are 0 in the outlets.
I want to achieve the following in (SSIS/SSDT for SQL 2012) -Â
I have a generic SSIS package which simply sends out email notifications using SMTP email task (this package is within its own project, and has project level input parameters).
I need to be able to call this package in the Event handler section of every package (numbering in about less than 60) that we have. These packages are within their own respective projects.
I thought I could use the "execute package task", but it turns out , using this, I cannot call a package that is part of some other project. I also cannot call a package that is stored in the CATALOG. Is there any way I can do this ?
When I call the child package , I should be able to send in parameters like - error information and package name of the Parent package.
I have an SSIS package (TransAgentMaster) that I recently modified to include a call to a child package via the file system. The child package creates a text file. When I run the package in dev studio then the child package/text file is produced.
I then imported the TransAgentMaster as a stored packagesfilesystem package into SQL SSIS and executed the package. The child package produced the text file.
I then ran the SQL Server Agent to see if the child package would work and it did not generate the text file. Thus after updating a SSIS package importing the package into SSIS the job that calls the package will not call the child package. Please not that the TransAgentMaster package calls 7 children packages €¦ just not my new one.
Any thoughts why the agent will not run the child newly crated childe package?
p.s. Does anyone have any needles I can borrow? I think sticking them in my eyes would be nicer than working with SSIS.

Hi. I need to import excel file in database. i first need to do an unpivot task. the column names are dates and SSIS seems to be unable to pick up the column name as it is replaced by F2 F3 F4etc Can you advise of a solution. thanks ken
I'm finding that the standard components often just don't quite meet my needs, but would only need some fairly minor changes to save me and my team a lot of work (and produce more elegant solutions). So I was just wondering whether the source code was available for the standard components that come with SSIS, or if there is anyway to extend their functionality? Or do you just have to start form scratch?
I need to build an asp.net/C# application to read values from an Excel spreadsheet. Once the values are read from the spreadsheet, the C# code will do some elementary statistics on the values read. Then the values read and their computations will be written to a sql server database. My manager suggested that SSIS might be a good candidate technology for doing this type of work. Does that sound correct? My only hesitation with using SSIS is that I want to keep the application as simple as possible, so that the code can be more portable. Maybe might argument is not a good one, but maybe someone can help me out here. Ralph
Dear Friends, I store several configurations in the main database of my SSIS packages. I need to get the servername from a xml or txt file in order to get those configurations stored in my database. How you think is the better way to do that? Using a FlatFileSource to read the file and a script to save the value into a SSIS variable? Using the package configuration I cant do that... maybe I dont know, but I can save the SSIS variale in the configuration file, but what I need is to do the inverse, read the configuration file and save the value in the SSIS variable. How the best way you suggest?! Regards!! Thanks.
We have SQL 2008 in development but only SQL 2005 in production. I have an SSIS package that was created in 2008 but need to deploy it to a SQL 2005 server. The '05 server will not import the package because of its version. Is there a way to convert back or 'save as' SSIS '05?
I have two questions to ask in this one thread. I would appreciate any feedback.
1. Is it possible to create GUI from SSIS using macro so that it can display forms or dialogs? If so how can I create a form that can be used to pass the parameters for the execution of the SSIS??
2. Is it possible to pass parameter(s) to SSIS? If yes, how can we do it...Please provide me with any example.
Scenarion: 1.- SSIS Package execute tasks on 2000 SQL Server Database 2.- Execution takes places using Business Intelligence Studio Question: 1.- How can I tracked that SQl 2000 tasks took place using a SSIS Package?
I am new to SSIS. I am trying to install just the SSIS in one machine("SSIS Machine") and just the DB Engine ("SQL Server Machine") in another machine. What I am trying to do is, separating the SSIS service and packages from the Database Engine and trying to run in in another machine. I have few questions on this topic. I searched on this forum but I couldn't find a concrete answer to those questions. Forgive me if it already answered/asked multiple times.
1. When I install SSIS in "SSIS Machine", do I need to install client components also in the same machine? 2. I already established this setup (SSIS with client components in one machine and SQL Server in another) but when I tried to connect to the SSIS thro' Management Studio from Sql Server machine, I keep getting "Access Denied" error. Is it possible to connect to SSIS server from another machine (using Management studio)? I tried the DCOM security permission options I found in the internet(I don't have domain id so I gave "Everyone" full access) but still I get the same error. Any help would be appriciated. 3. Do I need 2 SQL Server Licenses (Enterprise) if I go with this environment? 4. Is it possible to configure SQL Job to run SSIS installed in another machine?
I am completely new to SSIS and have been given a large project (of course with a tight deadline) that has the absolute requirement of using SSIS. I am/was very, very good with DTS and could easily accomplish what I need to do with an ActiveX script task in DTS in no time, but as this is new development, we are not to use ActiveX script tasks within SSIS since it will not be supported in the next SQL Server release. I'm thinking script task, but please give some comments on how you would accomplish the following in SSIS (please remember I'm new to SSIS, so don't assume I know anything. )
I must accomplish this: in a nutshell, I need to create separate tab delimited text files of customer informaion. One for each region. Each region consists of X amount of states and we have X amount of regions. (Pseudo code followed by standard explanation)
Select a max value from region lookup table in SQL (this is the # of regions)
for N=1 to MyMaxValue
select states from region lookup table where region code = N (the current region we are on) 'this returns a list of states in a region, need these in array or recordset object or something Open an output file which will be a tab delimited text file we will write results below in loop to (in DTS I would programatically kick off a transformation task in the package) 'loop thru states returned, so if in a rs object... do while not rs.eof
execute customer stored procedure, passing as a variable the current state we are on 'this will return all customers within a state, this whole result set (approx 1 million) needs to go to the tab delimited file 'I have to execute this stored procedure for each state & then write results to the SAME file, until we are onto a different region
rs.movenext close file loop next
OK, so basically, as you can see, Its sort of simple in a way what I need to do, i just have no idea how to go about doing this in SSIS. I can not hard code any state or region values. I MUST read them in from the lookup tables as region codes are constanatly changing and we are constantly adding in new states and new regions, so with above coding idea, it would always dynamically pick up any new states, new regions or changes.
So in a nutshell, I need to create separate tab delimited text files of customer informaion. One for each region. Each region consists of X amount of states and there are X amount of regions. Pretty strait forward, huh? The requirements are strait forward, but SSIS is throwing me for a loop... it does not seem flexible enough to be as dynamic as I need it to be to do this. I'm sure it is, just my understanding of it is very basic so far.
Please provide your suggestions! I think a lot of newbies would benefit from some SSIS design info... how to do common things in SSIS, but beyond just retrieving a recordset and writing it to a file... what do you do when you need to add just a few layers of decision processing, and retriving recordsets and writing files based on that decision processing?????
Hey, I've a few jobs which call SSIS packages. If I run the SSIS package, it runs fine but if I try to run the job which calls this package, it fails. Can someone help me troubleshoot this issue? None of my jobs that call an SSIS package work. All of them fail.
I've been looking into ways to accomplish a fuzzy search and SSIS makes that possible if I want to do a bulk import or something like it. But what it I just want to look stuff up at any given time not haveing to run the package?
Is it possible to expose the fuzzy lookup outside of SSIS to for example t-sql?
Here's an example: I want to lookup the music artist "Notorious BIG" but in the database it is "Notorious B.I.G." if I use the SSIS fuzzy lookup I basically get what I'm looking for. But how would I call this from a web application? So then I tried Full text search but this doesn't really work out as well.
Will I have to re-write the logic that the fuzzy lookup uses to enable it to work? i.e. using Full Text Indexes and FreeTextTable, ContainsTable, SoundEx and the like to somewhat even come close to what the Fuzzy Lookup has?
I am new to using FTP and executing .bat files in SSIS. First, the .ftp file should run. When it runs the FTP process, the user should be prompted for username and password. Then, it should run the .bat file. What all are the steps I need to do and how to set the properties for FTP and the Execute process task (which holds the .bat file).
And there is a task (Execute SSIS package) in First package that calls the execution of second package.
I m continuously receiving an error "Failed to decrypt protected XML node "PackagePassword" 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."
As we are running first package by job, job runs successfully logging above error
The protection level of second package is set to "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey"
According to microsoft, we can cluster SSIS service but it is NOT RECOMMENDED. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345193.aspx
Now this is the situation that I have where I need to understand how SSIS works?
Enviornment: Active Active cluster enviornment for SQL server with SSIS server installed as stand alone as default on both node.
Name: Node 1 Node 2 --------- -------------- --------------------- Server name: Nd1 Nd2 SQL server name: cs-nd1in01 cs-nd2in02 SSIS server name: Nd1 Nd2
BTW, this is cosolidated enviornment so there are more than one application expected and resides on each instance of SQL server.
The question is around SSIS, what would be the best practice to develop SSIS package that can work with above envoinrment.
Secnario: What if my Nd1 fails. SQL server cs-nd1IN01 will be failover to Nd2 and it will be available. But How about SSIS packages? How that understands to use Nd2 SSIS as Nd1 SSIS is not available. Is anyone has similar experience to setup SSIS in cluster envionrment but as non-cluster service?
