I am getting this error:
The variable "MyVariable" specified by VariableName property is not a valid variable. Need a valid variable name to write to.
This is my scenario:
I had a Row Count task on a data flow that was writing to a locally scoped variable (called MyVariable for this example.)
I needed to access the value of this variable at the Control Flow (global scope), so I deleted it and recreated it at that level.
My new variable has the same name as the old variable, just different scope.
Now I get this error every time I run the package.
BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
I have another Row Count step in the same data flow that is presently writing to a globally scoped variable called "ErrorRows."
If I change this step to write to MyVariable it works fine. If I change my other step to use ErrorRows, it works fine. If I change them back I get the error again.
I have tried deleting and recreating the step, and the variable, and using different names for them. Something is very jiggy with this variable!!
I'm trying to get a record count out of a databse using OLE DB Source and row count tasks but keep getting an error. I set up a variable as int32 and select the variable name in the row count task and when I go to the Input Columns tab to select a field to count, it gives me this error:
Error at Data Flow Task[Row Count[505]]: The component "Row Count" (505) has forbidden the requested use of the input column with lineage ID 32.
I was wondering, is there any way to have a stored procedure write to a file its resultant recordset?
i.e. I have this SP which fires a query, this in turn returns a single row recordset that I need to have written to a file. I realise this could easily be facilitated using an ADO client, however, can it be done by the backend i.e. the SQL7 & SP itself, directly?
I hope you can help me here! thanks for your time! Cheers Gaurav
I'm using a Row Count Task to count the number of records passing thru a particular path in my data flow. I created a package variable and referenced this variable in the Components Properties tab in the Row Count Task. I believe this is the minimum I need to do to get the row count.
However, as I explore the other tabs in the editor, I see there is something called Input Columns tab. What is this for? I didn't select anything in there and things are working fine. At first I thought that I had to choose the columns that I want to have available to me for further processing after the Row Count Task, but this isn't the case. I am able to see all my columns coming out of the Row Count Task even tho I didn't do anything in the Input Columns tab.
I receive the following error message when I try to use the Bulk Insert Task to load BCP data into a table:
Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 4. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.Bulk load data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 1 (rowno).".
Task failed: Bulk Insert Task
In SSMS I am able to issue the following command and the data loads into a TableName table with no error messages: BULK INSERT TableName FROM 'C:DataDbTableName.bcp' WITH (DATAFILETYPE='widenative');
What configuration is required for the Bulk Insert Task in SSIS to make the data load? BTW - the TableName.bcp file is bulk copy file as bcp widenative data type. The properties of the Bulk Insert Task are the following: DataFileType: DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_WideNative RowTerminator: {CR}{LF}
Any help getting the bcp file to load would be appreciated. Let me know if you require any other information, thanks for all your help. Paul
I am building this as an expression, but it is not working. I am trying to return the row count into a variable to use later in an update statement. What am I doing wrong? I am using a single row result set. I have one variable defined in my result set. I am receiving an error stating: Execute SQL Task: There is an invalid number of result bindings returned for the ResultSetType: "ResultSetType_SingleRow". Any help is appreciated!
SELECT count(*) FROM hsi.itemdata a JOIN hsi.keyitem105 b on a.itemnum = b.itemnum JOIN hsi.keyitem106 c on a.itemnum = c.itemnum JOIN hsi.keyitem108 d on a.itemnum = d.itemnum WHERE a.itemtypegroupnum = 102 AND a.itemtypenum = 108 AND b.keyvaluechar = " + (DT_WSTR,2)@[User::Branch] + " AND c.keyvaluechar = " + (DT_WSTR,2)@[User:epartment] + " AND d.keyvaluesmall = " + (DT_WSTR,7)@[User::InvoiceNumber] + ")
im very new to SSIS package .my package consists of Single Exceute task.
In Single Exceute SQL task i had 3 seperate queries to get the count of rows of 3 tables.
the Query goes like dis ...
select count(*) AS precheckcount1 from new_main_dts where cust_nbr like '875%'
like dis for another 2 tables i had written with the alias name precheckcount2 and 3
i mapped the variable user::precheckcount1 to precheckcount1 in the resultSet and for other two alias name i did the same.
while executing the package the error is thrown : [Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "precheckcount2": "Unable to find column precheckcount2 in the result set.".
I just had this happen twice in a row. The data flow task is showing a number of records almost twice as high as the actual data that is going into the table. This happened to me in two different DFT's with different data.
I am using an OLEDB source which uses a query something like:
select * from functiona()
In the DataFlowTask I see it had around 400,000 Rows go through the path all the way to the deastionation..
However I know that isn't right. If I do:
select count(*) from functiona() I get 200000 rows. Now the weird thing is if I check the table that it inserted to, it has the right number of rows, 200,000. (Numbers are not exact).
I have a data flow task that moves all the rows from 18 tables on a production server to a reporting services server. One table, which does not contain the most rows (about 650K rows) reports all the rows have been transferred. However, if I go in to the SQL Mgmt Studio and do a Select count(*) on the table, there are only 110k rows.
I am trying to create a simple BI Application for SSIS. In Visual Studio 2005 I just get a Data Flow Task from the toolbar and add it to the project. When I double click it I get the following error:
The task with the name "Data Flow Task" and the creation name "DTS.Pipeline.1" is not registered for use on this computer.
Then when I try to delete it it gives this other error:
Cannot remove the specified item because it was not found in the specified Collection.
I am creating this application in an administrator account in this computer, so I doubt the problem is related to permissions. I am running SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 in WinXP Tablet PC Edition.
Any suggestions why this is happening and how to fix it?
I have an File System Task that copies a file from one directory ot another. When I hard code the target directory (c:dirfile.txt) it works fine. When I change it to a virtual directory (\serverdirfile.txt) I get a security error:
[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path '\gracehbtest oS2TMM_Live_Title_000002.xml' is denied.".
I cannot execute a package by using Execute Package task. I supplied sa credentials to connection manager, and it shows the list of Packages on SQL Server but when running the task it says

I'm trying to use an XML Task to do a simple XSLT operation, but it fails with this error message:
[XML Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "There are multiple root elements. Line 5, position 2.".
The source XML file validates fine and I've successfully used it as the XML Source in a data flow task to load some SQL Server tables. It has very few line breaks, so the first 5 lines are pretty long: almost 4000 characters, including 34 start-tags, 19 end-tags, and 2 empty element tags. Here's the very beginning of it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ESDU releaselevel="2006-02" createdate="26 May 2006"><package id="1" title="_standard" shorttitle="_standard" filename="pk_stan" supplementdate="01/05/2005" supplementlevel="1"><abstract><![CDATA[This package contains the standard ESDU Series.]]></abstract>
There is only 1 ESDU root element and only 1 package element.
Of course, the XSLT stylesheet is also an XML document in its own right. I specify it directly in the XML Task:
I would like to fail a package depending on the error. The package extracts data from Excel files. I would like to continue processing if an Excel file is badly formatted, but stop processing if there is a serious issue. like the file server hosting the Excel files crashed. I was thinking about dynamically changing the MaxeErrorCount property based on the Error ID or description.

I have an Execute SQL Task that executes "select count(*) as Row_Count from xyztable" from an Oracle Server. I'm trying to assign the result to a variable. However when I try to execute I get an error: [Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "RowCount": "Unsupported data type on result set binding Row_Count.".
Which data type should I use for the variable, RowCount? I've tried Int16, Int32, Int64.
Hi, I'm having an SSIS package which gives the following error when executed :
Error: 0xC002F210 at Create Linked Server, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "exec (?)" failed with the following error: "Syntax error or access violation". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.Task failed: Create Linked Server
The package has a single Execute SQL task with the properties listed below :
General Properties Result Set : None
ConnectionType : OLEDB Connection : Connected to a Local Database (DB1) SQLSourceType : Direct Input SQL Statement : exec(?) IsQueryStorePro : False BypassPrepare : False
Parameter Mapping Properties
variableName Direction DataType ParameterName
User::AddLinkSql Input Varchar 0
'AddLinkSql' is a global variable of package scope of type string with the value Exec sp_AddLinkedServer 'Srv1','','SQLOLEDB.1',@DataSrc='localhost',@catalog ='DB1'
When I try to execute the Query task, it fails with the above error. Also, the above the sql statement cannot be parsed and gives error "The query failed to parse. Syntax or access violation"
I would like to add that the above package was migrated from DTS, where it runs without any error, eventhough it gives the same parse error message.
I would appreciate if anybody can help me out of this issue by suggeting where the problem is.

I try to get a Row Count from data flow - and get Error: [Row Count [724]] Error: The variable "User::COUNT_NEWIMGS" specified by VariableName property is not a valid variable. Need a valid variable name to write to.
I tried setting COUNT_NEWIMGS on Package Level, on Data Flow level (Int32 datatype) i tried specifying variable as "COUNT_NEWIMGS", "User::COUNT_NEWIMGS", "@[COUNT_NEWIMGS]" - still the same error
And then when I'm ready to crash my keyboard (again) - I found on another forum that Row Count doesnt even update that variable until the dft is complete. WTF!!?!!
hello, i have a working stored procedure SELECT CommentID, UserName, PictureID, DateCommented, COUNT(CommentID) OVER (PARTITION BY PictureID) AS 'NrOfComments' FROM Comments WHERE PictureID = @PictureID witch returns among others the number of comments for a picture i need to select the number of distinct users who commented that user too, so i added this at SELECT statement, COUNT(DISTINCT UserName) AS 'Expr1' i get that error: "Colum 'Comments.CommentID' is invalig in the select list beacuse it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause." what should i do, to select the number of distinct users who commented on a specific picture? here are the table rows, if you need that CommentID --- UserName --- PictureID --- DateCommented please help me, thank you
I have a Data Flow Task with an OLE DB Source containing this query:
SELECT Batch_Idx, Package, FailureSource FROM Audit.ProcessPackage WHERE (Status = 2) AND (Batch_Idx > ?) and FailureSource IS NOT NULL
At this point, before sending the data to the Recordset Destination, I would like to do a Row Count, and do something different depending on if there are any rows or not. When I try to put in the Row Count after the OLE DB Source, I get this error:
"The component has forbidden the requested use of the input column with lineage id xxx"
My variable for the RowCount results is RowCount and it is declared at package level. I have tried to use all each of the columns as input columns, and I get the error for every one. Do you know how I can fix this error? Thank you!
We have a table of students with fields for the ID of the school district and their school name. For example:
DistrictID StudentName SchoolName
10001 John Smith Washington Elementary
10001 Jane Smith Lincoln Middle
10002 David White Hill High
... ... ...
I want is a listing with the school district ID, the student name, and the number of schools in the district.
I believe the following statement should give me what I want:
SELECT DistrictID, StudentName, COUNT(DISTINCT SchoolName) OVER (PARTITION BY DistrictID)
FROM StudentData
However, I get the error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'distinct'.
If I take out the DISTINCT it runs fine, however it counts all the rows as expected, which is not what I want. If I remove the OVER clause it runs fine, however, it counds the schools across all the districts, which is not what I want. I can remove the OVER clause and use GROUP BY, but not while also retrieving StudentName.
The SQL 2005 Online Books don't seem to indicate that my statement is invalid. Here are the links just for reference: Count: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175997.aspx Over: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189461.aspx
Anyone have an idea one what I'm doing wrong or how to go about getting this information? Thanks! Matt Penner
OK. I give up and need help. Hopefully it's something minor ...
I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.
part number leadtime

Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
I am trying to run the plan analyser on a SQL query that I cut and pasted from a Siebel trace. I get the following error
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]COUNT field incorrect
There is no count in the SQL query, and there doesn;t seen to be a message number to look up, anyone got any ideas? I have done the obvious stuff like changing the DB name in the query, but to no avail....
I'm stuck. This is in C#. I am making the following query: string query = INSERT INTO region_info(prefix, region, last_update) VALUES ('" + RegionInfo.Prefix + "', '" + region + "', ???TIMESTAMP???);
and then executing query = query.Replace("???TIMESTAMP???", "'" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd") + "'");
Thus, an example query is: INSERT INTO region_info(prefix, region, last_update) VALUES ('907209', 'Alaska-Juneau', '20040921'); When I execute this query through my program(uses ADO.net), I get a "COUNT field incorrect or syntax error" exception, but if I run this same query through the query analyzer, it works fine.
I am trying to pass back the number of errors encountered by a child package to the Parent package. I have a script within the child package, which will set the value of the Parent package's variable (ChildErrCount). However, I have no idea how to access the Child package's Errors collection to get a count.
Any ideas? Has someone figured out a way to reference the current package's properties (besides what's available from Dts.* ?
