I'm trying to use DTS to copy data from an Accounting system to a SQL table. A login is required by the proprietary ODBC driver to the database-which includes company, user name, password. Is there code that I can put in the DTS package to pass this to the database so it can run automatically?
Thanks.
Hi,
I deleted standard sql login (a123) few days ago.
Since delete I see multiple login
fail for a123 in sql server log files
Is any way to get host name or application that trying to login using
a123
I did not now password for a123, so I can't restore it
Thank you

Hi all.
The new feature of login encryption still tortured me and my company's fellow :(
We can't use the server's profile nor server's login audit functionality.
The reason is.. they do not want any additional feature to the server even if it's just a small task.
So..
I know that self signed certi generated whenever the MSSQL server started. My question is..
1. Where is that self-signed certification. Is it loaded to memory or physical hard disk.
2. Is there any special 'store' for this self-signed certification?
I tried to find this certi from all of my store using the certutil.exe but couldn't find this certi.
3. Is there any api that find and decrypt this login info?
Thank you.
I want to be able to see the last login for every user, even if it was
before today in any user database combinedly listing all. Tried to query master..sysprocesses but the last_login or last_batch shows just for today. Can someone help with code or table query how to get this information. Auditors want to see when any user has last logged into any database. Any help is appreciated
Hi friends,
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 ?
Thanks

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?
Hi,
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.
Is this possible?
Thanks for your help.

Hi
we have one 'application'-user in sysusers that makes the connect to SqlServer for all users, for example:
Application Login-User: Thomas
DB-Connect-User: AppUser
With this solution, in Activity-Monitor or with sp_who I don't know, what is the real name of the connected user.
Any possibility to change the login-information after the connect, so that i can see 'Thomas' in Activity-Monitor or with sp_who?
Thanks for your help.

hi,
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...
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help in advance..

I just spent the past 3 or 4 hours trying to figure out how i could represent carriage returns and line feeds properly in package configuration variables that an SSIS package can properly handle, so i figured I'd post my results in case anyone else has struggled with this.
Initially, I thought I would be able to just represent the delimiter as the same value that you can pick from in the flat file connection manager dialog, i.e. {CR}{LF}, {CR}, {LF}, etc. nope.
Then I decided to try actually storing the characters as hex, i.e. _x000D__x000A_ for {CR}{LF}. nope.
After scanning the .dtsx packages for a while, I finally found something that works: you have to represent the curly brackets in hex, and you can simply use the CR or LF string literals. so if you wanted to have a row delimiter that was {CR}{LF}, you would need to set your variable to: _x007B_CR_x007D__x007B_LF_x007D_
Hope this saves some people the pain I had to endure.
I want to loop through a recordset of email addresses, and for each value in the recordset, I want to perform a set of task which includes creating an Excel spreadsheet and emailing it through to those email addresses.
I have 2 DTS package.
Package 1 - This contains an ActiveXScript task. The purpose of this package is to do the looping through of the recordset, and passing the email address variable to package 2.
Package 2 - Receives the email address from package 1. Package 2 contains the creating Excel spreadsheet and emailing it through to the recipients function.
I am having difficulty passing the variable from package 1 to package 2.
The code I have to date for the ActiveXScript task in package 1 is:
'************************************************* *********************
' Visual Basic ActiveX Script
'************************************************* ***********************
Function Main()
Dim oPackage
Dim oStep
Dim oTask
Dim oCustTask
Dim oGlobal
'Initialise package

oStep.Name = "TestStep"
Set oTask = oPackage.Tasks.New ("DTSExecutePackageTask")
Set oCustTask = oTask.CustomTask
oCustTask.Name = "TestCustTask"
oStep.TaskName = oCustTask.Name
oPackage.Steps.Add oStep
oCustTask.FileName = "C:TempVeraTest1.dts"
oPackage.Tasks.Add oTask
set oGlobal = oPackage.GlobalVariables.New("CurrentAirlineCode")
oGlobal.value = "SIA"
oPackage.GlobalVariables.Add oGlobal
'Execute package
oPackage.Execute
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
This does not work. Can anyone please help?
Thanks very much in advance.
Need to create same login on 100s of servers using local admin login create on the OS. (for xp_cmdshell proxy setup)
Normal command works fine but I meed to make <svr_name> a variable.
CREATE LOGIN [<svr_name>DBALocalUser] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[master], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english]
GO
When I try various efforts to pass in the <svr_name> portion it fails every time.
declare @cmd varchar(200),

I have a table with embedded files in it and also ftp server/user/pwd fields so that each record has all the data and information required and need to configure an SSIS package to to FTP them to the destination as specified in the record within the databaseAt the moment I have a data flow task which uses a Derived Column and an Export Column transformation which creates the files to a temp folder then it runs a ForEach loop container back on the control flow to FTP each file and to then move each file to an archive folder.
All I think I need to know how to do is to somehow control the FTP connection settings with the fields from the database within this foreach loop, but it is a for each file collection. I also need to update each record saying it has been FTP'd as well
Do I need to have an initial query outside of this foreach loop to populate an array which can be used for the 4 FTP connection fields (server/user/pwd/directory), if so how?
Any ideas as to how to correctly finish this package.
Thanks
Hello All,
I am executing a DTS package from an asp page using the following code. I would like to also pass DTS Global variables along. i assume this is possible but can't seem to find an example.
Set oPkg = Server.CreateObject("DTS.Package")
oPkg.LoadFromSQLServer "HOFDBMCRM4","TraubGar","ripley",DTSSQLStgFlag_Default,"","","","DSC_CalculateBOS"
oPkg.Execute()
Thanks, Gary
Well is there a way to pass the hardcoded values in a package externally
like for example if in a file system task i have specified the location for moving my files after processing, this will be a harcoded value how can i pass it externally so i have not to go into the package if in case i have modify it to some other location.
When someone executes my ssis package, I want the user to be prompted to fill in a few parameters. How do i do that?

I need to have scheduler passing the latest datetime to my Package at the time it kicks it off.
Also, How would I receive the argument in my package ? I mean, in some variable or there are some other construct in SSIS.
Any help in this will sincerely be appreciated.

I'm developing an SSIS package that will theoretically be run in two different ways. One is as a nightly job, called by a SQL job. The second is from a web application. When run as a job, it will be looking for a flat file in a known location. Run from the web, the file name and location are determined at runtime. I've tried to handle this by using a variable to hold the flatfile connection string, and setting the variable value to the known location. Then, when called to the web, I determine the file location/name at runtime, and pass it to the package. I'd assumed that if I pass the value into the package, it would override the variable's value that I'd set, but this doesn't seem to be happening. I realize this could very well be due to a coding error, but I thought I'd check to see if this is even a viable approach to be taking. If a variable's value is set in the package itself, will it be overwritten by a value passed to the package (assuming no stupid mistakes)? Or is this entirely the wrong approach to be taking for what I'm trying to do?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to pass variables to the package before it is executed (e.g. I am calling the bcp utility and I need to pass a password to the command line), so that at runtime a variable is set and then used.
Does anyone has some hints for good approaches? Every idea is welcome.
FYI: I do not use the bulk insert task as I need an errorlog file and the command is buggy with the errorfile option, therefore I chose the bcp approach. My connections are dynamic as far as servername and userid is concerned, but I did not find a solution for the password issue.
We have a package with a package variable.
This variable is of data-type 'DateTime'.
However, when i try to pass the value 'NULL' the package fails... i use the following statement with 'dtexec.exe'
/SET Package.Variables[MyDate].Value;"NULL"
What's the correct syntax for passing null-values? But maybe (because i cannot find anything on this) i should ask if this is even possible...
Hi,
I'm exporting some data from a table to fixed-width file using SSIS.
The query inside the package is:
SELECT col1, col3, col6 FROM Table1
WHERE code = 5 AND status = 'S'
The 'code' value will be passed from the front-end.
How can I make the query dynamically take the 'code' value and export to a file?
If a user selects 'code' as 7 , then the query should change to
SELECT col1, col3, col6 FROM Table1
WHERE code = 7 AND status = 'S'
and with this it has to export to a file.
Is this possible? If so, any suggestions on how to do it? !!!
Thanks,
Siva.
I am having a problem with passing variables into my SSIS package from C#. The variable names match ("Variable1, ...), however they do not seem to be assigned the proper values once the package is executed. The package does run and returns a FALURE notice saying there is a problem with my expressions.
When I added a new data flow, derived all the variables into columns and wrote their values to a flat file I noticed that the values still contain my default values from the SSIS package itself as though nothing was passed in from C#. I am hoping that it is a simple configuration/user error.
Any ideas?

Hi:
I created a fairly simple SSIS package to move data from a remote server which uses SQL Server Authentication to a local server that uses Windows Authentication. Everything works fine when executing the package within BI studio and if I execute the package by connecting to SSIS. If I schedule it as a SQL Server Agent Job, however, the non-integrated security fails unless I manually edit the connection to include the password. Obviously this is insecure because it is in plain text. What can I do?
Thanks.
Starting with "How to: Use Values of Parent Variables in Child Packages" in the SQL Server 2005 Books Online (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345179.aspx), it seems I need to create a separate package configuration in the child package (of type parent package variable) for each variable I want to pass from the parent to the child. Is that really so? The XML configuration file type allows me to specify any number of variables; how do I do that with the parent package variable?
For that matther, why doesn't the Execute Package Task simply allow me to specify the values of child variables (or other properties) directly? It seems SSIS has made something as trivial as a series of function calls completely opaque:
MyChildPackage(var1=1, var2="foo");
MyChildPackage(var1=2, var2="bar");
MyChildPackage(var1=3, var2="baz");
Hi
I have having trouble getting my hands around how to retrieve variables from a parent package. I read about the Environment variables and Configuration File at the parent package level and the Parent Package variable at the child level.
Here are my questions:
1. Can you only store/retrieve 1 variable in a config file at a time?
2. Does the child package have to define the variables and if so, do they have to be the same names as the parent package?
This seems so more more complex then the DTS2000 way of passing variables to and from packages.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I've got an SSIS package that works fine. It does extracts from a foreign ODBC source and moves it to SQL Server. It has 3 variables, a customer ID, a fromDate and a toDate. Those variables are used to complete a SQL statement expression. So far so good.
I now want to provide a web interface in a web page that will enable the user to provide values for those variables. How can I execute my package passing the user's input?
Thanks for any advice.

Hi,
I'm looking into the idea of building an enhanced version of dtexec.exe that builds in some extra logging features. My utility will execute packages using the Package.Execute() method.
Thing is, I'd still want to support all of the command-line options that dtexec supports. For example, my utility should accept "/set package.variables[myvariable].Value;myvalue" and pass it through to the executing package but I can't find a way of doing it using Package.Execute().
Am I missing something or is this just not possible?
Thanks

Hi
I was wondering how I could pass on the following parameters from an ini file to a stored procedure within a DTS package. The parameters in the ini file look like:
[DatabaseCleaner]
! -- TableToBeCleaned_N=<table name>,<months to hold on db>,<months to hold on hd>
! -- <N> must be a successive number starting from 1 ...
TableToBeCleaned_1=Transactions,24,24
TableToBeCleaned_2=Payments,24,24
TableToBeCleaned_3=PresenceTickets,24,24
As I do not know how many tables that will be declared in the ini file I have to loop through until the last parameters and pass it over to the SP.
How can I do that? Any idea?
Thanks

Has someone managed to pass successfully a variable from a parent package to a child package? I€™ve tried a zillion permutations and I can€™t get it to work. The strange thing was that I was able to successfully do this with pre-RTM builds. Basically, what I am trying to do is:
The parent package has a variable, e.g. ExecutionID which I set using a script to System::ExecutionInstanceGUID. I verified that the variable is set correctly by dumping it to a SQL Server table.
I created a child package variable with the same name.
In the child package, I€™ve created a parent package configuration that points to the ExecutionID variable.
I am trying to read the variable in a Derived Column Task in which I have a column linked to @ExecutionID.
This doesn€™t work. Step-by-step instructions from someone who managed to concur this will be greatly appreciated.
Oh, I didn€™t have any luck hitting a breakpoint in a script task inside a child package with both in and out of process execution also.
I've created a varible timeStamp that I want to feed into a stored procedure but I'm not having any luck. I'm sure its a simple SSIS 101 problem that I can't see or I may be using the wrong syntax
in Execute SQL Task Editor I have
conn type -- ole db
connection -- some server
sql source type -- direct input
sql statement -- exec testStoredProc @timeStamp = ?
if I put a value direclty into the statement it works just fine: exec testStoredProc '02-25-2008'
This is the syntax I found to execute the procedure, I don't udnerstand few things about it.
1. why when I try to run it it changes it to exec testStoredProc @timeStamp = ? with error: EXEC construct or statement is not supported , followed by erro: no value given for one or more requreid parameters.
2. I tired using SQL commands exec testStoredProc @timeStamp and exec testStoredProc timeStamp but nothing happens. Just an error saying unable to convert varchar to datetime
3. Also from SRS I usually have to point the timeStamp to @timeStamp and I dont know how to do that here I thought it was part of the parameter mapping but I can't figure out what the parameter name and parameter size should be; size defaults to -1.
Thank you, please help.
I want to be able to see when records have been added to a table. The issue is we have a DTS job scheduled to run every night. The developer who wrote it password protected it and doesn't work here anymore. I want to add a step to this series of DTS jobs and want to run it just prior to his job. Is there a way to see when the records are being added or when this job is being run? Thanks again, you guys are the best.
