Passing Variable Value Through Environment Variable
Feb 15, 2008
Hi All!
I have a parent package that contains two children... The second child depends on the succes of the first child.
THe first child generates a variable value and stores it in an Environment variable ( Visibility - All ) ...After the first succeeds, the second will start executing and will pick up the variable value from environment variable( through package configuration setting )...
Unfortunately, this doesn't work...As the second child picks the stale value of the environment variables...Essentially it assigns variable value not after the first child is finished, but right at the beginning of parent execution...
I tried to execute coth children as Out Of Proc as well as In Proc...The same
Would anybody have an idea how to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have a SQL Task that updates running totals on a record inserted using a Data Flow Task. The package runs without error, but the actual row does not calculate the running totals. I suspect that the inserted record is not committed until the package completes and the SQL Task is seeing the previous record as the current. Here is the code in the SQL Task:
DECLARE @DV INT;
SET @DV = (SELECT MAX(DateValue) FROM tblTG);
DECLARE @PV INT;
SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I've not been successful in passing a SSIS global variable to a declared parameter, but is it possible to do this:
DECLARE @DV INT;
SET @DV = ?;
DECLARE @PV INT;
SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I have almost 50 references to these parameters in the query so a substitution would be helpful.

Hi,
I have issues with the Connection Manager in the SSIS package when using package configs thru environment variable.
Here goes..
SSIS package1:
Connections used: devcon1, devcon2 - Dev Env and testcon1,testcon2 - Test Env. Now using all four. Ideally either devcons or testcons should reside at a time.
Environment variable:
Pckg_config = <location of config file which has testcon1 and testcon2>
I need to use only devcon1 and devcon2 in Dev env. In test i need to use only testcon1 and testcon2
Hence i set the values of devcons in devEnv.dtsconfig and testcons in testEnv.dtsconfig
Now i remove both testcons from ssis package. If i try to run the Test Env and my testcons which are marked in testenv.dtsconfig are not found as connections in ssis package then the ssis gives error wanting for those connections.
SSIS maintains the connections in the Connection Manager per package. Although internally it is a pool of connections.
Ideally i should be able to play around with the connection at run time. My package now works, if it is deployed with all the devcons and testcons together. However, ideally it should be either devcons or testcons. I am trying to be more explicable to reach to the masses here.
Am i doing something wrong? All your efforts in solving this puzzle will be greatly appreciated. Please participate.
Thanx,Tushar

is this possible?
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Variables[User::varFolderName].Properties[Value]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>%enviroment variable%</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>
it would be really useful. it looks like the .dtsconfig file needs to be maintained on each install independently. This makes maintenance a nightmare. it would be a lot nicer if the .dtsconfig files were more like templates rather than hard coded values to specific system resources.

I am doing SSIS package configuration using environment variable.
I have created a system environment variable that points to the dtsConfig file.
I opened the package and choosen the configuration type as environment variable and specified the environment variable
When I click the next button , it doesn't allow me to choose the configurable property.
Please suggest

We are using Package configuration with environment variables. The problem we are having that if we try to open project from other PC (PC 2) it gives the error:
Error 1 Error loading F0005.dtsx: Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Password" 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. z:visual studio 2005projectssales data martextract to staging areaF0005.dtsx 1 1
We are using environment variable named DWConfig and have configured correct path in each PC. If we edit package configuration in PC 2 and go thru the same procedures without any amendments the errors is removed for that PC and if, again we OPEN that project in PC 1 it gives same error and if we go thru package configuration wizard again error is removed.
Can any one tell me is there any solution of that problem?
Note: Our project is saved on server (neither PC 1 nor PC 2)
regards,
Anas.

Okay - this one is driving me batty.
I have a package that uses an environment variable package configuration of value X for a connection string. I close BIDS. I change the value of the environment variable to value Y. I open BIDS and the package, and the value of my connection string is Y. I save my package with the new configuration. if I look at the dtsx file, I see connection string with value Y. All as expected.
I move the package to my server (I've tried Import package from SSMS, using the deployment manifest, and save copy as). On the server, the environment variable is set to value Y. If I run the package or export it; however, the value of my connection string is X!
Does anyone have any suggestions of things to try or some reason that this is not working?
Thanks,
Jessica

I'm trying to figure out the best way to write a script to deploy environment variables to different servers. To create the variable I'm currently using catalog. create_environment_variable. I want to wrap that in an if not exist statement.I had thought about just blowing away all the variables and recreating them but I thought that wouldn't go over well in prod. I wasn't sure if by deleting the variable, references to the variable would be lost.

Hello All -
Have you ever seen the error message below?
Description: The package path referenced an object that cannot be found: "Package.Variables[User::<variable_name>].Properties[Value]". This occurs when an attempt is made to resolve a package path to an object that cannot be found. End Warning Could not load package "<package_name>" because of error 0xC0010014.
Basically, I create a package variable under my User Namespace and this variable will tell what server the SSIS is running at. We first create a system variable locally and the SQL Server will have a variable with exactly the same name so that the server name will be evaluated through the package variable/package configurations when the SSIS is executing from a SQL Server job.
This way we do not hard code the server name... We always succeeded on doing that with DTS as well as SSIS packages but just now my package is running into this issue...
Since I did not change ANYTHING in the package, I am guessing this is not programming related and that something was changed in the server. However, the DBA was helpless over here and I have no clue of what this error means.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Gabriel.

We're attempting set the ConnectionString for our configuration database connection manager from an environment variable, but SSIS seems to ignore the environment variable value. Deployment process:
Create the Connection Manager
Create an Environment Variable type configuration with the Target Property: Package.Connections[acConfigDBManager].Properties[ConnectionString]
Build the package
Copy the package and the manifest from the project's inDeployment folder to a folder on the server
From the SSIS server's console, Import the package from the File System.
Run the package, after first inspecting the ConnectionString in the Connection Managers collection
In all cases, the ConnectionString variable for our configuration database is the value in the package at build time.
So far we've tried the following variations:
confirmed that the spelling and case of the environment variable is identical on the XP development computer and the Win2003 server.
restarted SQL Server and SSIS
rebooted the Win2003 server.
built the package with a blank ConnectionString value in the connection manager
re-imported the package, overwriting the old one
deleted the old package before reimporting
renamed the package and imported
run imports from SQL Management Studio from the server console
assign the connection string from an arbitrary system environment variable
assign the ServerName and use an expression to build ConnectionString
What now? Has anyone been able to set a Connection Manager property from an environment variable?

I've created a SSIS Package and it's connection is based on Environment Variable(please seeprocedure).
Now, I'm trying to create a job that calls this package and it seems that when you view Data Sources, it still pointing to the old server.
But when you open-up the package through BIDS in the same server, it's using the new reference that I have specified in the environment variable (please refer to the first image).
I came across this blog with the same issues as mine. He suggested to re-start the SSIS Service which I already did but nothing happens. I even re-started the SQL Agent but still no luck.
I'm not sure what else is missing except for re-starting the machine which is the last thing I want to do as this is PRODUCTION server.

I have a Master Package that executes a number a child packages.
In my SSIS Package Configuration:
1. I have an SSIS Configuation table that holds the connection string.
2. An XML Configuration File with a setting of configuration location stored in an enviornmental variable.
3. And finally, an Eveniornmental variable with the setting of ProjectFolderAbsolutePath value, where it is the full path of the project folder.
The project functions normally but everytime I open it I get the following error.
" Warning loading MasterPackage.dtsx: The configuration environment variable was not found. The environment variable was: "EnviorVariable". This occurs when a package specifies an environment variable for a configuration setting but it cannot be found. Check the configurations collection in the package and verify that the specified environment variable is available and valid."

Dear all,
I have a problem with SSIS reading an environment variable after deploying the packages to a server. I explain.
I have an Parent Packages ETL_MAIN_PACKAGE.dtsx that reads the child packages from a record set and loops on it to execute them with the Execute Package Task task. The first child package to be executed is called DIM_PERIODIC.dtsx.
On my local machine, the Parent Package is configured to read its database connections from an XML file SSIS_configfile.config located on my C: drive. The path (C:SSIS_configfile.config) to this file is stored in the environment variable BI_ETL.
When I run the Parent Package inside SSIS only machine, the connections are read and the package executes perfectly. Now, I want to deploy the packages on our server.
I copied the XML configuration file to the server C drive, I created the same environment variable BI_ETL and set its value to C:SSIS_configfile.config and I rebooted the machine (in case).
The execution of the Parent package is managed by a stored procedure. I use xp_cmdshell command. The command line generated is :
cmd.exe /c dtexec /file "C:ETL_DeploymentETL_MAIN_PACKAGE.dtsx" /CHECKPOINTING OFF /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /SET Package.Variables["P_PACKAGE_PATH"].Value;"C:ETL_Deployment" /SET Package.Variables["P_LOOKUP_PATH"].Value;"C:ETL_DeploymentETL_LOGS" /SET Package.Variables["P_SCHOOL_CODE"].Value;"007"
This command generates an error telling that the Environment variable is not found and it throws this error:
Error : 2007-08-23 18:59:10.25
Code : 0x80019003
Sourse : The configuration environment variable was not found. The environment variable was: BI_ETL. This occurs when a package specifies an environment variable for a configuration setting but it cannot be found. Check the configurations collection in the package and verify that the specified environment variable is available and valid.
End Error
Error: 2007-08-23 18:59:10.25
Code: 0xC001401E
Source: ETL_MAIN_PACKAGE Connection manager "Package Path Execute"
Description: The file name "C:ETL_Deployment" /SET Package.Variables[P_LOOKUP_PATH].Value;C:ETL_DeploymentETL_LOGSDIM_PERIODIC.dtsx" specified in the connection was not valid.
End Error
I run the package on the same server with a command line directly in a DOS window:
C:>cmd.exe /c dtexec /file "C:ETL_DeploymentETL_MAIN_PACKAGE.dtsx" /CHECKPOINTING OFF /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /SET Package.Variables["P_PACKAGE_PATH"].Value;"
C:ETL_Deployment" /SET Package.Variables["P_LOOKUP_PATH"].Value;"C:ETL_Deplo
ymentETL_LOGS" /SET Package.Variables["P_SCHOOL_CODE"].Value;"007"
I don't have anymore the error saying that the Environment variable is not found, but I still have the same second error :
Error: 2007-08-23 18:59:10.25
Code: 0xC001401E
Source: ETL_MAIN_PACKAGE Connection manager "Package Path Execute"
Description: The file name "C:ETL_Deployment" /SET Package.Variables[P_LOOKUP_PATH].Value;C:ETL_DeploymentETL_LOGSDIM_PERIODIC.dtsx" specified in the connection was not valid.
End Error
I conclude that the environment variable is not read at all.
Does anybody have an idea on how to solve this problem ?
Many thanks.

I'm doing a simple ETL that reads a database table and dumps the content to a text file. The text file will be named Employee.txt. This file name will remain the same across my environments, but I may want to vary the directory location to where I want this file dumped.
So, I defined an environment variable called "DataTargetDir" in all my environments. Now, I want to utilize this variable in the "File name:" box within the Flat File Connection Manager Editor. How do I do this? I'm thinking I can write something like "%DataTargetDir%Employee.txt" in the "File name:" box, but it's not working.
Am I approaching this the right way?

Hi,
This is pretty simple but I am doing somethin really stupid somewhere, I am trying to pass a value to a variable declared in a package using some SQL code, I declared a variable "var1" and assigned the scope to the package , then I dropped a execute SQL task within the package and wrote a simple sql code that would get the maximum id from a table, "select max(id) from table" , now I want to assign the variable this max value.so in the parameter mapping tab I select the variable give it a parameter name of 0 and size of -1 along with direction of "output". everythin looks simple but when I try to use this variable value in my next execute sql task it behaves weirdly, I am trying to update anothet table using this variable value, so I add another task and put this code in there " update table2 set id = ? " , and on the parameter mapping tab I set the direction as input, however when I look at the column it updated th column with a weird number , xomethin like "230072408" which doesnt mean anything. I know that tha max value of ID is 10.
Please help.
Thanks

hi guys what is the syntax for using the passing variable part into the name of a table in a store procedure. in particular: (assume already declared the variable periodseq.
select *
into Temp_Usage_@periodseq
from Master_usage
where Master_usage.PERIODSEQ = @periodseq
in particular the Temp_Usage_@periodseq line of code, how do i "add" the periodseq (which is a number) to the end of the name of Temp_Usage, i.e: Temp_Usage_112
is the syntax an & like Temp_Usage_&@periodseq?

I've been coding a few years and SSIS makes me feel more stupid than any program I've ever used.
I've read BOL and bought a book. Can't say either one has really helped.
I'm still a complete idiot after one week of working with it. I apologize for asking so many stupid questions.
What I'm trying to do now is parameterize a SQL statement.
I have a variable that's a string. I have a DataFlowComponent as a data source. I find references all over the Internet and this forum to something called an "ExecuteSQLTask" but I sure can't figure out what that is. In my toolbox I have data flow sources for DataReader, Excel, Flat Files, Old DB, Raw file, and XML but no Execute Sql Task.
Anyway SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE COLUMN='Value' in the SQL Command property is simple enough. Now I want 'Value' to be a variable. You know, like in T/SQL DECLARE @Foo VarChar(25). Creating the variable is easy as pie.
I have found at least 10 different examples of specifying variables on the web, all of which claim to be SSIS examples, Is it User::Variable? @[User::Variable]? @Variable?
I want to read rows from a table, with a a variable value in the WHERE clause, and pass them to the fuzzy lookup task.
Is my approach fundamentally flawed in some way?

Hello,
I can't figure out how to pass values from report parameters to a variable in custom code.
I have a Report Parameter called Parm1 of type string. It contains the following:
Label: Value:
Labell1 Value1
Label2 Value2
In custom code I have declared a variable thus:
Public Dim ParmValue As string = Parameters!Parm1.Value
What I want is this: When a user select a report, they will have to choose a parameter from a dropdown-list (created automatically when creating a paramete). The chosen parameter will be passed to the variable ParmValue which I use as one of the parametes in a text-box like this:
=code.InstanceName.MethodName(ParmValue)
InstanceName is the instance of a class from a dll I reference.
It works fine if I hard-code the paramter like this:
Public Dim ParmValue As string = "SomeString" instead of:
Public Dim ParmValue As string = Parameters!Parm1.Value
The error I get is this:
[rsCompilerErrorInCode] There is an error on line 0 of custom code: [BC30469] Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.
I don't know if I'm at all on the right track here.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi:
I'm not an expert with using batch files, or using them with SSIS, but I am trying to use two batch files in my SSIS package. I want the first one to map the first available drive on the server and pass that drive letter as an output variable to the package, and then to pass this variable to the last batch file and unmap.
I already have execute program tasks set up with a hardcoded drive letter, but that is not going to work as I don't know what drive letters will be mapped on this machine.
I did find sample code for using variables in a batch file that maps drives:
Code Snippet
@ECHO OFF
rem Map \serverfolder to the next available drive letter and save
the driveletter as DRIVELETTER
FOR /F "tokens=2" %%A IN ('net use * \serverfolder) DO IF NOT %
%A.==command. SET DRIVELETTER=%%A
rem Unmap DRIVELETTER
net use %DRIVELETTER% /del
rem Clear your env variables
set DRIVELETTER=
Questions:
1. Is this the type of code I want to use with the SSIS package?
2. How do I use the batch file with SSIS? I see the Execute Process Tasks has a "StandardInputVariable" and "StandardOutputVariable". Will these work?
Thanks,
Kayda

I have cursor that loops through a table (the table only contains columnnames of several tables) the cursor has a variable declared @columnname. when i run the following it works fine
select @columnname,0,0,0,0
from temp_prt
it gives me my expected output
mtr_5120,0,0,0,0
mtr_3247,0,0,0,0
mtr_5160,0,0,0,0
etc........
now i want to get the min of each column name like so
select @columnname,min(mtr_5120),0,0,0
from temp_prt ------> this works for min(mtr_5120)
mtr_5120,34.5,0,0,0
now I want to generalize so I try to pass in the variable name and I do the following
select @columnname,min(@columnname),0,0,0
from temp_prt
(the columname (@columnname) exists in the table temp_prt)
but now i get an error
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 29
Error converting data type varchar to decimal.how can i pass the colunmame into the min and max functions or is that at all ppossible. I also tried the following:
select @columnname,'min(' + @columnname + ')',0,0,0
from temp_prt
but i get the same error
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 29
