I am currently reading Ralph Kimball's "The Microsoft Data Warehouse Toolkit". In the book it mentions creating template packages to speed up the creation of future packages. In the book they also mention creating solutions and projects.
All sounds fair enough but I am confused a little.
Where should the template package be stored?! I created a Project and renamed the default package as "TemplatePackage". I setup some standard data sources and package variables. Do I now create a new package and place it in the same project? Or should my template package be deleted from the project?!
Is there any way to change variable scope while using package templates?
I have created a package template that has several variables, a "typical" control flow and data flow. My goal was to try and use this as a starting point to create other packages within the same project and edit as required in the new package. I couldn't find any way (yet) to change scope of variables...these still show as belonging to the scope of package used to create the template.
i hear of a feature called TEMPLATES where you can save the data thats entered into any particular Dynamics SL screen and paste the data in to the same screen at a later time (saves time if there is data that is constantly inputed into the same screen over and over). my question is, where are the templates saved at on the hard drive? and can it be opened/edited in notepad or something else if say we want to make changes to the data before pasting/loading it back?
I've created a new Stored Procedure template and saved it to .Microsoft SQL Server90ToolsShellTemplatesSqlStored Procedure. I can view (and use) the template via the Template Explorer, however, I want this new template to become my default template.
What do I mean by this? - I want to be able to right-click on stored procedures in my object explorer, click New Stored Procedure, and be forced to use my new template, rather than Create Procedure (New Menu).SQL.
I've got several templates that we use for creating stored procs and such and they all include a standard header for author and version information. One of the fields is the creation date. Is it possible to have the template automatically populate that field with the current date when a new file is generated from the template?
I just installed SQL2005 (and VS2005). When I run VSSQLCLRTemplates.vsi from the SQLCLR Project all the templates fail to install. It gives the error "Installation stopped because the directory for the ProjectType value did not exist. The project type is invalid for your installation of Visual Studio."
I do have a my documentsvisual studio 2005 directory. I am trying to start writting user defined aggregates. If I can install the templates manually, that'd be fine.
I'm currently working on a project that I'm having some design difficulties with and I was hoping that some of you could help me out. What I'm designing is sort of a webbased directory service based on different custom made templates. Imagine the yellow pages with different column requirements for each branch. Example:
I have designed a few tables that look like this: DECLARE @templates TABLE (TemplateID INT IDENTITY(1, 1), TemplateName VARCHAR(50)) DECLARE @attributes TABLE (AttributeID INT IDENTITY(1, 1), AttributeName VARCHAR(50)) DECLARE @template_attributes TABLE (TemplateID INT, AttributeID INT) DECLARE @values TABLE (ValueID INT IDENTITY(1, 1), TemplateID INT, AttributeID INT, Value VARCHAR(200))
INSERT INTO @templates SELECT 'Restaurant' UNION ALL SELECT 'DBAForHire'
INSERT INTO @attributes SELECT 'Name' UNION ALL SELECT 'Adress' UNION ALL SELECT 'TakeAway' UNION ALL SELECT 'YearsExperience'
INSERT INTO @template_attributes SELECT 1, 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1, 2 UNION ALL SELECT 1, 3 UNION ALL SELECT 2, 1 UNION ALL SELECT 2, 2 UNION ALL SELECT 2, 4
INSERT INTO @values SELECT 1, 1, 'Lumbagos TexMex' UNION ALL SELECT 1, 2, 'Mainstreet Oslo' UNION ALL SELECT 1, 3, 'Yes' UNION ALL SELECT 2, 1, 'Peso' UNION ALL SELECT 2, 2, 'Somewhere IN Sweden' UNION ALL SELECT 2, 4, '10'
SELECT TemplateName, AttributeName, Value FROM @templates a INNER JOIN @template_attributes b ON a.TemplateID = b.TemplateID INNER JOIN @attributes c ON b.AttributeID = c.AttributeID INNER JOIN @values d ON b.TemplateID = d.TemplateID AND c.AttributeID = d.AttributeIDThe problem I need help with is that with the current design all "Values" are defined as varchar(200)...is it possible to change the design so that it's equally flexible but also fasilitates different datatypes? In some cases I would like to have a description column with way more than 200 characters, and I'd also like to save numbers as actual numbers...not like my example above with "YearsExperience". Is it at all possible?? I would appreciate your insight on this...

Hello, I'd like to use OLE DB consumer templates, but I have troubles with changing values in my test DB. I've created a simple MS access DB 'ZK2Test.mdb' with one table 'pokus'. This table consist of one column with number (short integer). I can read values, thats works fine. But when I try to write something, it is not propagated into DB. I call SetValue and Update on cTable object and every call returns S_OK. When I try to read value of first row after my write, I get my new value of first column. But after moving cursor somewhere else and back to first row, reading first column of first row returns again the previous value.
In code example is my attempt to change value 1 from first row to 421 Sequence of commands is (C1 means Column 1):
// Open DB res = DTSrc.Open (L"Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0", "..\ZK2Test.mdb"); CHECK_RES(res); res = DTSession.Open(DTSrc); CHECK_RES(res); CDBPropSet propset(DBPROPSET_ROWSET); propset.AddProperty(DBPROP_IRowsetUpdate, true); propset.AddProperty(DBPROP_UPDATABILITY, DBPROPVAL_UP_CHANGE | DBPROPVAL_UP_INSERT | DBPROPVAL_UP_DELETE); res = cTable.Open(DTSession, L"pokus", &propset); CHECK_RES(res);
// Move to first row res = cTable.MoveFirst(); CHECK_RES(res);
dataPtr = cTable.GetValue(1); x = *((SHORT*)dataPtr); // Now the value of x is 1
x = 421; if (!cTable.SetValue(1, x)) { return FALSE; } res = cTable.Update(); CHECK_RES(res);
dataPtr = cTable.GetValue(1); x = *((SHORT*)dataPtr); // Now the value of x is 421
// Move cursor to the second row and back res = cTable.MoveNext(); res = cTable.MoveFirst(); dataPtr = cTable.GetValue(1); x = *((SHORT*)dataPtr); // Now the value of x is 1 (the original value, WHY!?)
I want to be able to create business intelligence project for reporting but the business intelligence project option is not there when I go to file/new/project.
When I first installed visual studio I chose visual basic/web development as the preference would this prevent other project types from being displayed?
I have a question regarding oledb templates in Visual Studio 2005. For some time I was trying to get through but I can't. Can anyone tell me how can I read the properties of the DataSource class being inside Rowset or Command class?
I mean: DataSource class is creating Session class. Session is creating Rowset or Command and so on.. But how can I read the INIT_DATASOURCE property of the DataSource class while for example a Command is called?
Could you give me a sample of code which retrieves the INIT_DATASOURCE property in the Execute method of the
CRowsetImpl class?
class ColedbRowset :
public CRowsetImpl< ColedbRowset, ColedbWindowsFile, ColedbCommand>
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows Desktop and Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 yet there are no project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services available when I attempt to create a new project.

We are using Reporting services 2005 and have been for some time. Recently we have started using the subscriptions as well. However we have come across a problem with this.
Currently we are updating our report templates by removing them and then creating them again. This worked fine until we started using subscriptions. Now, when the reports are removed, the subscriptions that are associated with the reports are also removed.
Is there a way to update a report template, without having to remove the report first? And can this be done programmatically? The code is currently publishing the reports by calling ReportingService2005.CreateReport(name, "/" + reportFolder, false, template, null);
I could not find The Reporting Service Project Template with Visual Studio 2008. It was available with Visual Studio 2005. How i can add the reporting service project into VS2008?
We are setting up developer machines with Visual Studio 2005 and SQL SERVER 2005 Client tools. My question is how do I get the templates for Integration Services into Visual Studio 2005 without installing BIDS?
I desperately need to setup the AD-HOC reporting on SQL server 2005. I think one of the templates that I need is in Business Intelligent Project Templets Reporting Model Template in Visual Studio Templates.
But I do not see it in there. Can some one please let me know where can I get the Reporting Model Template, or a link to where I can download or how to create it.
I have an application that uses SQL Report Builder to edit templates. When I go to add a dataset to add a custom field to the report, I get a permissions error (screenshot Error). When I check the credentials for the shared datasource, they are all grayed out, so I can’t verify the credentials being used (screenshot Error 2). According to SQL Management Studio, the user credentials have the right permissions. The weird thing is, I can access the datasets and shared datasource embedded in the report just fine. I just get a permissions error whenever trying to create a new dataset.
Hello, I tried to use bookmarks in OLEDB consumer templates and I have problems with using MoveToBookmark. This method sets cursor position correctly on bookmarked row, but it seems to me it doesn't set the right cursor position in DB. When I call MovePrev after MoveToBookmark, I will not get previous row of the bookmarked row. Simplified Example - I get bookmark of the first row, then move to the 3th row. Call MoveToBookmark (current row is no the first row). But when I call MovePrev I'will not get DB_S_ENDOFROWSET but the second row:
MoveFirst() bk = GetBookmark() MoveNext() MoveNext() // Now I'm on third row MoveToBookmark(bk) GetData() - Now I get data from 1st row MovePrev() GetData() - Now I get data from the second row!!
All calls to OLEDB returs S_OK. Does somebody now, whats wrong?
I copied and added an existing package as a new package to a project and have been having trouble with settings reverting to those for the original package after I modify and save the changes for the new package. Sometimes happens with the save itself, other times it happens when I close and re-open the package. Most cases are with connections that revert back to the original file reference, but there are also control flow and data flow elements that keep reverting back to either settings from the original package or defaults that result in the re-opened package being in error. Not sure how to get around this issue short of developing the new package from scratch which I'd rather not do since it is fairly complex. Any help anyone can provide is appreciated. Thanks.
I have a for each loop that populates from a set of flat files into a Sql Server table, I run the Flat file Import via a dts package embedded into Execute DTS 2000 Task. I want to pass the Sourcefile Name that is fetched by the For Each Loop to assign it Global Variable in DTS. how this can be made ?
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 created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.
I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.
if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.
To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".
My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.
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.
While Creating a script task in Control Flow, I am getting "Package Validation Error". Here is the complete message:
Error at Validate File and Load Data: The task is configured to pre-compile the script, but binary code is not found. Please visit the IDE in Script Task Editor by clicking Design Script button to cause binary code to be generated. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)
As mentioned in the message, I opened the script IDE and added the code I need. When I close the VSA IDE, package designer displays the same error message.
The worst part of whole story is that if I close the package designer and reopen it, I find that all the code I wrote in the script task has been deleted by the package designer. This is not at all acceptable as I saved the package the and still lost all my work. I did all the coding from scratch for that task.
Please respond if anyone faced similar problem.
Thanks in advance!

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 have created one package in production server called User_Import,It will fetch the info from excel file to the Sql table, I have executed this package in ssis console successfully,But i have to schedule one job using this package on daily basis for that i have created on sql job using this package, Then it is failing i dont know the exact problem,I have full access to my database and full access to the sql agent to exuete any jobs,I have sharing the error message which am getting in the sql agent level, Please find the error msg:

I am new to SSIS. I followed the direction of the tutorial Creating Simple ETL Tutorial package in BooksOnline. I have tried more than five times and have done exactly as suggested in the tutorial but it does not work.
1)[Lookup [30]] Error: Row yielded no match during lookup.
2) [Lookup [30]] Error: The "component "Lookup" (30)" failed because error code 0xC020901E occurred, and the error row disposition on "output "Lookup Output" (32)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
3) [DTS.Pipeline] Error: The ProcessInput method on component "Lookup" (30) failed with error code 0xC0209029. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running.
4) [DTS.Pipeline] Error: Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0209029.
Can someone help me with this tutorial error? or Am I doing something wrong.
I'd like to know if there's a way to pass parent package parameters to a package executed by SQL Server Job Agent? It appears that sp_start_job doesn't have any variable that could accomodate this.
I am planning to develop a single package that will download files from ftp server, move the files to internal file server and upload it in the database. But I want to run this package for multiple ftp file providers. For each provider the ftp server might be different and the transformation to upload the files into a database table might be different.
So can I create a single package and then multiple configuration files (xml), which will contain the details fo the ftp file providers and then pass the xml file as a parameter while executing the package. The reason being that the timings of fetching the files is different for each ftp file provider and hence cannot be combined into one.
