I have been working with DTC packages together with analysis service, and are
now begining on SSIS.
But I have some demands that's been giving me headache before, so I hope
there's a solution in the SSIS for the following.
My DTC packages was build to be executed i 5 steps/Packages
1. Transfeer data from my Oracle 9.2.0.4 to SQL 2000
2. Transform data
3. Quality check
4. Process dimension
5. Process cubes
BUT in 2005, I want a little more flexibilty. I want to execute smaller
packages, let's say, only my "general ledger".
This way I will be able to update some of my important cubes quicker. And
not wait until all data
is transferred.
So what I have done until now is that I have created SSIS packages per module. I
have a General_ledger.dtsx and a Sales.dtsx. Which I can execute separately.
I also have a MasterFlow.dtsx which contain an "Execute package Task"
for each package.
I can run the MasterFlow and it will run through all packages once every night.
Each package contains
1. Truncate package tabels
2. Transfer package
tabels
3. Execute dimensions
data
4. Execute cubes
5. Process
Dimensions
6. Process Cubes
Is this the best way?
I'm not satisfied
myself because,
when I run MasterFlow. I would like to execute all
"step 1" in all packages, before "step 2" and so forth.
Then I would be sure that all data is OK when all Cubes are processed, if I
have a virtual cube that contains data from 2 packages.
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'd like to know more about data warehouse. I've known some for SSIS working with SSAS. But it's existing data warehouse. I just transfer data to data warehouse using bussiness rules. I have no idea about data warehouse, how to design data warehouse from transactional database, how to generate the table structure. Any tips or books for that? Thank you very much.
I have all the config files for my various packages in a folder call configs. It seems that I cannot add folders to the SSIS solution. I can add config files, but they get copied into the root folder, which breaks the directory structure that I have.
Am I missing something? Is there a recommended to manage config files, and other external files used by the SSIS package, in SourceSafe and in the SSIS solution? Thank you.
Say I do File -> New -> Project and make a new project called RedApple under C:. For simplicy, I chose root, but I would designate location for all my SSIS projects. I also check the box "Create directory for solution".
I see that this creates C:RedApple
Under this, I have another RedApple directory with a .sln and .suo files. In this 2dn RedApple directory, I have .database, .dtproj, and .dtproj.user files.
I deleted the default package1, so I don't have any .dtsx files yet.
As far as the above files are concerned (.sln, .suo, .database, .dtproj, .dtproj.user), I understand these are some kind of system or meta data files and I shouldn't be messing around with them. And that's as far as I need to concern myself on these files.
As I add packages to my project, I see that it is creating .dtsx files under the 2nd RedApple directory. So, I'm thinking these are the package files, one for each package I see in my solution explorer, correct?
MY QUESTION: Now, I am looking at another SSIS directory tree for a project that I created before I started to pay attention to all this. In this other directory tree, I see that there is also a bin directory, which I do not yet have in C:RedAppleRedApple. In this bin directory I see more .dtsx files, the same ones as I see in the directory above it, but also other .dtsx files that have the names of other packages that I onoce created and deleted along the development of this particular project. What are these .dtsx files?
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"
I have a SSIS package that simply moves data from a SQL database A to another SQL database B. I have update (increased) the size of a nvarchar column, on both A and B.I am wondering if there is a way to "refresh" somehow the SSIS package so I don't have to rebuild and redeploy it.The error I get now is a truncation error: "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
I have a SSIS job, one of the last steps it performs is to execute a SQL 2000 DTS package. This has to be done as a SQL 2000 DTS package as it is performing rebuilds of SQL 2000 Analysis Services dimensions and cubes. We've found that when the DTS fails the SSIS job is happily completing showing as a success, we would prefer to know it went wrong.
As far as I'm aware SSIS merely starts the DTS off and doesn't care about it's result. I've taken a look in to turning on the logging for the execute DTS package and thought that the ExecuteDTS80PackageTaskTaskResult would give me the answer I need...but is merely written to the log not available as an event-handler. It also looks like it is not safe to put a SQL task in as the next item to go look at the SQL 2000 system tables to look at the log for the DTS package as the SSIS documentation warns that the DTS package can continue to run after the execute DTS package task has ended.
Ideally I want any error raised within the DTS package to cascade up to be an error in the SSIS job, I can then handle it appropriately. I cannot find a way to do this. Is there a way?
If not, can anyone suggest how in the remainder of the SSIS tasks I can be sure that the DTS has completed before I start any other tasks that will check for the SQL 2000 log of its execution?
I have developed an SSIS package for ETL purpose. I am invoking the SSIS package through .Net console application by referencing the ManagedDTS Assembly. I am able to execute the package in Sql Server 2005 Developer Edition and it runs fine till completion.
But when i try to execute the packahe in Sql Server 2005 Standard edition, by invoking the package through .Net console application the status of the package is failure.
Can any one help me how to over come this problem.
I am in the process of moving from a 32-bit SQL Server 2005 Enterprise (9.0.3054) to a 64-bit SQL Server 2005 Enterprise (9.0.3054 with 4 CPUs and 8GB of memory on Win 2003 SP2) and the process has been very frustrating to say the least. I am having a problem with packages that I created on my 64-bit SQL Server. I am importing a few tables from the 32-SQL Server into the 64-bit SQL Server using the Task --> Import to create the package.
Sometimes when I am creating a package I get the following error in a message box:
SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
The SSIS Runtime object could not be created. Verify that DTS.dll is available and registered. The wizard cannot continue and it will terminate.
Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. (System.Windows.Forms)
Other times when I run a package that has run successfully before I get the following error:
Faulting application dtexecui.exe, version 9.0.3042.0, stamp 45cd726d, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, stamp 00000000, debug? 0, fault address 0x025d23f0.
The package appears to hang when running. By this I mean that the Package Execution Progress shows progress up to a point then it just stops. (The package takes about 17 seconds to run normally) CPU usage is at 1% and the package cannot be stopped.
I have deleted and re-created the package several times and I have also re-installed the service pack on the SQL Server (9.0.3054) but that did not help.
I would like to standardize SSIS development so that developers all start with the same basic template. I have set it up so it is an available template ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908018 ) but I would like it to be the default when a new project or package is created. Is this an option?
I would like to fetch the data flow component name while package is executing. Since system variable named [System::SourceName] only fetches name of the control flow tasks? Is there a way to capture them?
The master package has a configuration file, specifying the connect strings The master package passes these connect-strings to the child packages in a variable Both master package and child packages have connection managers, setup to use localhost. This is done deliberately to be able to test the packages on individual development pc€™s. We do not want to change anything inside the packages when deploying to test, and from test to production. All differences will be in the config files (which are pretty fixed, they very seldom change). That way we can be sure that we can deploy to production without any changes at all.
The package is run from the file system, through a job-schedule.
We experience the following when running on a not default sql-server instance (called dkms5253uedw)
Case 1: The master package starts by executing three sql-scripts (drop foreign key€™s, truncate tables, create foreign key€™s). This works fine.
The master package then executes the first child package. We then in the sysdtslog get:
Error - €œcannot connect to database xxx€? Info - €œpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
The child package then executes OK, does all it€™s work, and finish. Because there has been an error, the master package then stops with an error.
Case 2: When we run exactly the same, but with the connection strings in the config file pointing to the default instance (dkms5253), the everything works fine.
Case 3: When we run exactly the same, again against the dkms5253uedw instance, but now with the exact same databases defined in the default instance, it also works perfect.
Case 4: When we then stop the sql-server on the default instance, the package faults again, this time with
Error - €œtimeout when connect to database xxx€? Info - €œpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
And the continues as in the first case
From all this we conclude, that the child package tries to connect to the database before it knows the connection string it gets passed in the variable from the master package. It therefore tries to connect to the default instance, and this only works if the default instance is running and has the same databases defined. As far as we can see, the child package does no work against the default instance (no logging etc.).
We have tried delayed validation in the packages and in the connection managers, but with the same results (error).
So we are desperately hoping that someone can help us solve this problem.
I am interested in Passing value from a child Package variable to the Parent package that calls it in ssis.
I am able to call the Child package using the execute package task and use Configurations to pass values from the parent variable to the child, but I am not able to pass the value from the child to the parent.
I have a variable called datasetId in both the parent and child. it gets computed in the child and needs to be passed to the parent...
Deployed Report having SSIS package as source do not work when Indirect Package configuration is used in ETL package. It seems ETL package when called/executed from Report manager does not recognize environment variable to pick up the dtsconfig file.
The Report works when Direct package configuration is used to same dtsconfig file.
What could be the reason? Any solution for this? This will cause our build/deployment to QA and Prod very difficult.
I now have two SSIS package, "TESTING" and "LOADING". The "TESTING" package have an execute package task that call the "LOADING" package. When I want to execute the TESTING package, how can I setup the connection string so that I can edit the password of the database connected by the "LOADING" package?
I have two SSIS packages in a project, one calling the other. The parent package works fine in my local mechine. After they are deployed to the production, I schedeul jobs to run the packages in the SqlServer. The child package works fine if I run it alone, but the parent package could not find its child package if I run the parent package . As I checked, all xml config files and the connection string pointing to the child package were set correctly. It seems the parent package did not use the xml config file. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.
I have successfully created a SSIS package which execute a DTS 2000 package and with no problem to execute the task. But I failed to schedule this package. I was not success in setting the logging. When running the package in command line:

I am making use of the DtUtil tool to deploy my package to SQL Server. Following is my configuration: 32-bit machine and 32-bit named instance of Yukon.
I have some package variables which need to be set in the code.
Previously I did it as follows:
Set the package variables in the code. For example:
Here the package was successfully deployed and when i open those packages using BIDS, I am able to see that the variables are set to the values as doen in teh code.
Because of oen problem I am not using SaveToSQLServer method. So I switched to DTUtil tool. Now I am doing it this way:
Set the package variables as before. Deploy the package to SQL Server using DTUtil tool.
Now is the problem: The package is successfully deployed. But the variables are not set to the value that I have specified in the code.
I also tried DTexec utility to set the package variable. Even that does n't work. Can anyone help me out? Is there any alternate method to set package variables?
when i run the job using network service account credentials job is failing. But when i run the package individually, it is tasting success. when it runs as job, this is the error message i am getting
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
I have changed to 32-Bit run time and ran the excel package, even then it is failing...i tried to use my credentials (i am admin on the box), even then it is failing...please suggest
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?
Hi,I'm using DB2 UDB 7.2.Also I'm doing some tests on SQL Server 2000 for some statements touse efectively.I didn't find any solution on Sql Server about WITH ... SELECTstructure of DB2.Is there any basic structure on Sql Server like WITH ... SELECTstructure?A Sample statement for WITH ... SELECT on DB2 like belowWITHtotals (code, amount)AS (SELECT code, SUM(amount) FROM trans1 GROUP BY codeUNION ALLSELECT code, SUM(amount) FROM trans2 GROUP BY code)SELECTcode, SUM(amount)FROM totalsGROUP BY code.............................Note: 'creating temp table and using it' maybe a solution.However i need to know the definition of the result set of Unionclause. I don't want to use this way.CREATE TABLE #totals (codechar(10), amount dec(15))GOINSERT INTO #totalsSELECT code, SUM(amount) FROM trans1 GROUP BY codeUNION ALLSELECT code, SUM(amount) FROM trans2 GROUP BY codeGOSELECT code, sum(amount) FROM #totals GROUP BY codeGOAny help would be appreciatedThanks in advanceMemduh
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.
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 have a big problem and i'm not able to find any hint on the Network.
I have a window2000 pc, VS2005,II5 and SQLServer 2005(dev edition)
I created an SSIS Package (query to DB and the result is loaded into an Excel file) that works fine.
I imported the dtsx file inside my "Stored Packages".
I would like to load and run the package programmatically on a Remote Scenario using the web services.
I created a solution with web service and web page that invoke the web service.
When my code execute: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application.LoadFromDtsServer(packagePath, ".", Nothing)
I got the Error: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DtsRuntimeException: The package failed to load due to error 0xC0011008 "Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored.". This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.
The error message doesn't help so much and there is nothing on the www to give me and advice....
Hi, I am used Visual Studio SSIS wizard to transfer some data from one database to another with the same table structure. This is the first time I use SSIS. I see two objects created. OLE DB Source extracts some data based on the create date and OLE DB Destination object is a corresponding table.
So query in OLE DB Source: Select ID,[Desc],[CreateDate] from TableSrc where ],[CreateDate] between ‘1/1/2006’ and ‘1/31/2006’
OLE DB Destination has TableDest as the destination. TableDest has the same structure as TableSrc.
My problem is that when I run the package twice the data will be imported twice. I need to use this package for both new records and updated records in TableSrc . Is there any way I can check if the ID is available in the TableDest, I perform update otherwise perform insert into TableDest. Thanks,
how can i run an SSIS Package from an ASP.net file? currently, i'm using a stored proc to run my ssis package. is there a way to directly run the ssis package from the asp.net file? thnx in advance.

Could not load package "Package Name" because of error 0xC0014062. Description: The LoadFromSQLServer method has encountered OLE DB error code 0x80004005 (Login timeout expired). The SQL statement that was issued has failed.
Is it something to do with installing Office on the server
I need to establish a good method of deploying SSIS packages to my LIVE server from my DEV server. Some questions:
1) What does the Package Installation Wizard (file system deployment method) do for me that copying the .dtsx files manually doesn't?
2) Does SQL Server Deployment method in the PIW add them to MSDB instead of the file system?
3) I need to source-control the SSIS packages too but am not using Sourcesafe so can't use the built-in BIDS features for that. Instead I anticpate that I'll be manually source-controlling the .dtsx xml files and probably manually copying them to the file-system on the live server.
4) Does this scenary work? - ideas / improvements welcome: Use the Package Installation Wizard (file-system) for the initial deployment and any subsequent changes, just re-copy the files manually to the live file-system - would this work??
