Outputting Status To Job Log From SSIS ActiveX Component
Apr 29, 2008
I have an ActiveX component in my SSIS package, and it is written in VB. Something is going wrong, and I'm not sure what. I works fine when run from Visual Studio, but when I move it to our server and try to run it from a job there, it fails. I'd like to know WHERE in the component it is failing, so I'd like to send output to something as it goes along, so I can see how far it is getting.
How do I send text to an output or log file?
I can't use MsgBox, because, of course, when it runs as a job, it is putting that message box up on the server, where there is no-one to respond to it, so it hangs. I'm in the process of converting it from a DTS to SSIS, and it does have several instances of MsgBox now. And it's locking up -- on one of them.
I have logging turned on for the job step, and it is writing to a dbo.sysdtslog90 table, but all it tells me is that it is starting that ActiveX script task.
What can I replace the MsgBox with, so that it outputs somewhere to a file? Is there a simple command, like WScript.Echo or Console.WriteLine (neither of which I can get to work)?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi Folks,
Always sorry to have to ask what is most likely such a simple question. However I'm in no way a programmer, I'm just patching something together using scripts I've found all over the shop.
I'm reading in an excel source using a dataflow script component. I build up a SQL String in Vb.Net using the output column names and query the spreadsheet via microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 then processing it in code. I don't want to use the Excel Source task btw, more for the fact I want to learn from this as well as other less important reasons.
This all works fine. Adding new columns to the output means the query string dynamically changes without the script ever having those columns defined in code. Easy stuff so far.
The issue I have is writing back into the outputbuffer the results without explicitly mapping the result to the output column names.
An easy example to see is..
Excel Spreadsheet Looks like..
ServerName
Server1
Server2
Server3
Output Column Names..
ServerName
Code Snippet..
While Reader.Read
With OutputBuffer
.AddRow()
.ServerName = Reader.GetString(0)
End With
End While
Instead of defining what the column name (servername) is, I want to map back by matching the source column header to the output column name. By doing this I won't ever need to change any code when I add or remove output columns.
Could someone lend a hand with this, and I'll buy you a virtual beer or two. I've already spent more time searching for an answer than I have writing the code thus far, and I think my heads getting more and more muddled by it.
Many thanks,
Jode

Does anyone have any examples of using VB to automate a DTSPumpTask to import and transform a flat file. How do you use the dtsffile.dll OLE DB provider for an ADO connection or command object? I would like to create a task to transform a flat file and be able to pass in various parameters to make the load flexible. If possible respond to ScottMiles@Epotec.com
Thanks for any help.

In a Data Flow, I have the necessity to use a SSIS variable of type €œObject€? inside Script Component and assign to it the content of 'n' variables of string type.
On exiting from the script the variable of type object should contain something like in the following lines:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
On exiting from the data flow I will use the variable of type Object in a Script Task, by reading each element in a cyclic fashion.
Is there anyone who have experienced something like this? Could anyone provide any example of that?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all
I'm into a project which uses a lot of views for joining 2 or more tables. Using the MERGE component in SSIS will be a huge effort coz it only has 2 inputs and I gotta SORT the input too.
Isnt it possible to have a VIEW like component that joins more than 2 tables and DOESNT need sorting??
(I've thought about creating views in database engine but it breaks my data floe in SSIS and is'nt a practical solution)

This error occurs when the ActiveX task tries to execute:
[ActiveX Script Task] Error: Retrieving the file name for a component failed with error code 0x001B6438.
Anybody know how to troubleshoot these errors? I can't find anything on this error code. The same script works in DTS.

I migrated the DTS from 2000, and the migrated SSIS which includes ActiveX script is 11KB, takes 00:00.125 running. I rewrote the SSIS using some new features provided in BIDS, and the new package is 50KB, takes 00:00:6.016 running. Is that normal or maybe because of the efficiency of my code?
thanks.

In good old fashioned DTS there was the ability to perform custom transformations using activeX / vbscripty type language - does this still exist or are we stuck with the derived column editor?

I have a flatfile source to which different flatfiles will be passed as input,this is connected to an OLEDB destination which changes along with the sourcefile.
But when the new file is given as input, the OLEDB mappings are not getting refreshed.It is showing an error.
Actually this was implemented in DTS, and they have used an activex script for the transformation.
what shd I use in SSIS?
Please help me..

Within a SQL 2000 DTS Package I have an ActiveX Script that would go within my transform tasks and update the queries by concatenating a "Where" clause with a date from a database table. This way I could keep track of when the last time I updated the table so that I could only bring down the rows since the last run. How can this be done within SSIS? I've been looking and I'm getting confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My ActiveX code wrote:
Function Main()
msgbox "Hello" & DTSTaskExecResult_Failure & DTSTaskExecResult_Success
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure
End Function
However - it displays "Hello10" - but SSIS will not throw an error - it executes successfully.
Any ideas?

Hi,
In my script 'm using
Set oPkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent

I guess becoz of using DTSGlobalVariables.Parent in activex,the script is not working.
Can anyone please suggest a solution to run it in SSIS.

Dear all,
I€™ve made a SSIS package which might take source columns from a plain text file and copy them to the Sql table.
A long time ago, when you did the process I did by dts and that stuff included a pump task which had ActiveX Script transform column with VbScript stuff inside so that, how do I for to do the same with SSIS??
I€™ve got a couple of tasks: Flat File Source and OleDb Source Destination but it€™s useless at all for that goal.
Does anyone have ever used or faced this hended?
Thanks for any input,

I am re-writing old DTS packages(from sql 2005) to convert them to SSIS packages(sql 2014) and in one of the script task, the old activex script does not run.
The script is :
'************************

'************************
Function Main()
mydate = now()
yrs = ""
mth = ""
mth = Month(mydate) - 1
yrs = Right(Year(mydate), 4)
If Month(mydate) = 1 Then mth = "12"
[code].....
Not sure how to proceed forward? I am quite new to package migration

I need to retrieve the Global Variables set in my package configuration file within an ActiveX Script Task within an SSIS package. In DTS, I could access the Global Variables to execute a SQLXMLBulkLoad for the following statement:
==========================================
Function Main()
Response.Expires=-1
set objBL = CreateObject("SQLXMLBulkLoad.SQLXMLBulkLoad")
objBL.ConnectionString =
"provider=SQLOLEDB.1;server=ABC123;database=MyDB;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
objBL.KeepIdentity = False
objBL.CheckConstraints = False
objBL.Execute DTSGlobalVariables("gv_XSDSchemaFile").Value, DTSGlobalVariables("gv_XMLFullPath").Value
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
set objBL=Nothing
End Function
=========================================
I have tried using the Script Task to write this in VB.NET, however the MSXML4.0 is not exposed within the limited object model of the Script Task Designer. I have written a Data Flow Object using the XML Source, however it requires quite a bit of effort to have the Data Flow Component parse the XML (with 10 hierarchical nodes), transform each and provide a SQL Server Destination. This works, however the XML Source Component requires a hardcoded reference to the XSD Schema file and does not allow for a Global Variable to used. (They do provide this functionality for the XML file source though).
My requirement is to allow for the Global Variable to be passed for the Schema file at runtime. The only way I can think of is to recreate what I was doing in DTS where I could simply pull in the XML and XSD Global Variables and execute the SQLXMLBulkLoad in VB Script.
Any ideas on how to write this in VBScript within the ActiveX Script Task in SSIS?...

I have a SQL2000 DTS package that executes vbscript to loop through a recordset which:
- runs a stored procedure and populated tables
- builds a recordset from the populated tables to write records to an Excel file
- writes status to text files with either the error or success notices
I use FSO to set up the success and error files, but the scheduled job in SQL2005 which calls the SSIS package returns the following error:
"Retrieving the file name for a component failed with error code 0x0015F74C"
I can successullly run this (vbscript) in both the SSIS package via the BI Development Studio and in MS Access (exactly the same code in both) - but not as a SSIS package called in a scheduled job in SQL2005.
I am at an impasse with this ... any and ALL assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
TIA,
Bob

Hello,
I have a package that has a data lfow task. this task imports data from a db2 database (using the IBM Ole DB provider fro db2) and adds it to sql server database table. This package was created on the server. then though version control (using TFS source control) I check out the package on my local machine. and when I open the package I get the foll 3 errors.

I want to customize database maintenance to run only on selected databases based on their status in sys.databases, without having to statically select them in the GUI.
I'm trying to write an SSIS package that will do the following:
1. Query for a list of databases that are not read-only or recovering, etc.
2. Perform database maintenance tasks (e.g., rebuild indexes) on those databases.
I'm doing this because the database maintenance tasks do not provide a way to select databases based on criteria or a SQL query filter.
My package includes an Execute SQL task to get the list of databases, a Foreach loop container to loop through the databases, and then...this is where I get stuck. I can't use the existing maintenance tasks (Rebuild Index, Update Statistics, etc.) because I don't know how to provide an input variable for the list of databases. I'd rather not write dynamic SQL to generate commands for each database object.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks much.

Hi all,
i am not very experienced with the SSIS. I am just wondering if there is something like a "if-then-else"-componente like the foreach-component in SSIS.
I want to delete the values of all tables in one database. So I took a foreach-component and selected the smo-enumeration with all tables. I store the tablename in a variable and execute a sql-task with "delete table.." with the variable tablename as parameter. Now I want to delete all except one certain table. I would like to add a selection where the variable tablename is checked. If the tablename is this certain table, I don't want to execute the sql-command, else I want to excecute the delete-command.
Are there any suggestions?
Thank you very much

I have just migrated a DTS 2000 package
as an SSIS package.
one of the features that failed to migrate, was a transformation
that , selected 2 colums of data with a stored procedure,
file name, and full path of filename,
Then the file name only was written to a txt file,
Then there was an ActiveX transformation task that used the other
column (full file path) to copy said file to another location (specified as a global str variable eg \127.0.0.1directory..etc)
Now my question is this, with SSIS script task
can i save the path name (2nd column) to a variable and then
using this variable copy the file to another location (global str variable) ?
Is there a CopyFile function like there is in ActiveX ?
And can i add this script task along with the DATA FLOW ?
because if i add it outside the DF , it will only (im assuming) copy the last line (path) into the variable...

Dear all,
Such a pain, I know. Yesterday I did a couple of questions regarding transformation rows and very kindly I obtained answer (Thanks Jamie and Michael)
But now I face another stupid issue and is how to map source with destination columns inside Script Component Task.
On my Flat File Source I€™ve got defined thirteen columms (from Column0 till Column13); that€™s fine. And then, I€™ve got a sql table as destination with another names, of course€¦
Inputs and Outputs option from Script Component Editor leaf has been commited both (Input 0 and Output 0) but I wonder how the hell I€™m refer to them here:
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
** snippet of old code sql2 to migrate€¦
'If DTSSource("Col010") = "N" Then
' DTSDestination("ImpBase") = -1 * CDbl(DTSSource("Col011") / 100)
'Else
' DTSDestination("ImpBase") = CDbl(DTSSource("Col011") / 100)
'End I
.Net Script
If Row.Column10 = "N" Then
¿??????????????
End If
End Sub
Thanks a lot for your comments and thoughts,

Informatica has an XML parser component that allows me to read an xml file from a data source (Oracle Clob attribute in table in this case), parse it out in our mapping, and then transform the parsed date.
Does anyone know if SSIS has similar functionality?
Flow:
DataSource --> XML Parser --> Expression Component (Transform) --> DataTarget

Hello,
My SSIS design: Source OLE DB -> Script Component -> Destination OLE DB
I have a script component that reads and proceeds each row in input. But I have no rows in output. How can you explain that ? with the viewer, I see the rows in input but in output, I have nothing after the script.
The script function: read the value of the ROW.column and flag like this :
ROW.columnout = TRUE (columnout is added in output columns)
What should I define at the component to retrieve the rows after the script component ?
Thanks !
