First off, can you post .dtsx packages to the forum? I always end up cutting and pasting code, which is by is nature incomplete, as it generally has external dependencies (connections, variables).
Perhaps you cannot do so for security reasons?
Second, is there a good blog site that allows you to post .dtsx packages?
I'd rather post .dtsx links than cut and paste code (which half the time formats the code un-recognizably), or even worse, post package xml, which contains the layout information and possibly IL that makes it all but unreadable.
I just got the bellow error twice: "The post you requested cannot be found or no longer exists. The administrator or moderator may have deleted the post."
Am I the only one that see this? or is it a know problem.
Is there a forum moderator that can check this out (I didn't saw any contect options on this page).
This forum is intended for users who are new to SQL Server, and have basic usage questions. If you have setup or installation issues or questions, you should check out the Setup forum.
I have spent the last couple of weeks going through about 15-20 different examples/tutorials on running DTS packages from inside a C# Windows app (and even asp.net). I must have a mental block, because I can't seem to make it click in my head. I have hundreds of DTS packages saved as .dtsx files. I can double click on them and run them perfectly. What I need to do is be able to run them conditionally from inside a windows app. Could anyone point me to a tutorial or example that could help me with this? I've even looked at some VB source to see if I could work it out, but I keep running up against a wall. I'd appreciate any help anyone can provide.
I have some familiarity with DTS packages, and find them easy ( generally) to debug as you can run them step by step and simply find the offending step. when they fail they also put a message box with the error in the centre of the screen. My system has recently been updated and now uses DTSX packages. I can open and veiw these in visual studio, but i cannot run them one step at a time, and they dont give a nice error message when they fail. how do you debug a DTSX package, or at least make debugging it a little easier?
I am trying to build a package that is comprised of 100+ dtsx packages but cannot seem to get it to work. I have created a new connection where the connectionmanagertype = file and the file path is equal to the folder in which my dtsx files are located. I (location = fileSystem). No matter what I do I get an access denied error that shows the folder location but no package. I manually typed the name of the package in the PackageName property and have pasted in the PackageID in the appropriate property as well but I don't see anything in the PackageNameReadOnly. I have read the MSDN information but I don't see a step by step way to build a package of packages against which I can compare. Can anyone set me straight?
I'm experiencing some frustration with my active/passive SQL cluster not running my .DTSX packages. I am hoping someone can shed some light on what I need to do.
I've created some .DTSX packages with the SQL Server Business Intel Dev Studio. I initially built & tested these packages in a non-SQL cluster environment without any problems. I'm now re-creating them to work on our SQL cluster. If I run the package through the Dev Studio it works great.
The packages basically grab .txt files from one of the shared drives (which is a resource of the sql cluster group) and imports the data into the one of the databases. The database does not have any special settings (right-click -> new database... -> enter name -> click ok).
I've setup a SQL Server Agent Job with 1 step with the following properties. Step name: I Offices Type: SQL Server Integration Services Package Run as: SQL Agent Service Account Package source: File system Package: G:ImportRAGFLOffices.dtsx
When I run the SQL Server Agent Job through MSSQL Server Management Studio (right-click -> start job) I get an error on "Execute job 'RAGFL TestJob'".
These are the 2 messages that show up when I view the history of the SQL Server Agent job.

Based on advice from this board, I am setting up our newly-converted DTSX packages (sql server 2000 (DTS) to 2005 (SSIS) package conversion) to utilize package configurations to make it easier to run them in multiple environments (dev, testing, production, etc...). This seems to be working just fine, but I now have another question.
We have approximately 12 DTSX packages which need to be executed in a specific sequential order. I was wondering what the best / most widely accepted method is to allow for running them as an automated process. If you double click on each DTSX file individually, the "Execute Package Utility" pops up, and you can run the package. I'd like to know the best way for us to be able to run each package, one after the other (each one waiting until the previous one completes before it begins), until they have all processed. It would be nice if it did not rely on SQL Server being installed on the machine on which it is being run...
I am unclear on Microsofts policy regarding support for DTS and packages that have been imported (but not migrated) to SQL 2005.
The upgrade advisor states SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services Advisory SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services is deprecated You must completely migrate existing SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS) packages to SQL Server 2005 Integration Services packages before support is withdrawn.
Source Type: MSDB Package
What does this really mean? What will happen to the importing of legacy packages and this whole area within Management Studio? Will these 2005 features no longer be supported? What will happen to the Execute 2000 task? If I upgrade a SQL 2000 instance post 08/04/08 does this mean that I won't receive support from Microsoft even though the package post installation is in SQL 2005. Will the new dts designer in the feature pack be taken away/withdrawn?
To say DTS packages will no longer be supported is a very dramatic statement with far reaching consequences. How is this going to be effectively implemented? Is there really going to be no backward compatibility support in Katmai?
--------------------------------------------------------------- My Original Post I have to query n table(NLRImports) using the Distinct keyword, to retrieve a set of ID numbers. ( "Select DISTINCT id_nbr from NLRImport" ).
Now i want to use those values i retrieved, to process the records in the table(NLRImports) 1 by 1. How do i use those ID no's i retrieved as Variables or parameters for my next query?? If this makes sense? ----------------------------------------------------------------
First, thanks for the response.... now here is what im trying to do. I created a simple application in delphi to import information to a table in MSSql2005. This is some of the resulting columns...
Now there will be several entries with the same id no but on different dates, so i take it dates would rather be my pkey.
Then i need to take one person's entries(i work on id_nbr) and go thru all the entries taking the earliest date and comparing all the other entries for that person to the first date and select all the dates more than 19 days after the first date and less than 91 days from first date and place it in a new table. I used cursor s and while loops to kind of get it going but i know that cursors are not really recommended use but the performance implications dont bother with this particular job.
What other ways should i be using to accomplish this?
I have a dtsx package that is calling another dtsx package, however, if the called upon dtsx package fails with errors or what not, then the calling package does not continue as well. Is there any way to override this such that if the called upon package fails, the downstream actions in that package can stop, but the calling packages downstream actions to continue?
Our company plans to redesign the forum. we currently stores all posts in text files. someone suggest that we can use xml. I am not familiar with using xml. Is XML better for the forum design and data retriving?
Can anyone tell me , For instance : if someone has posted new post and If I want to answer to that post, how can I answer that. Or How do I know that there is some new post which people can response to it, please give me your feed back on this
Where is the list for forums, When i started to write for Sqlserver, i never searched or looked for forum. Same did when i was working with the c#. Now I have to find the correct forum. So where is the list of those forums, thanks.
I have had countless email alerts thru today alerting me to people replying to threads I have commented on. And I can see the person's comments.
1) WhenI click on the link it takes me to a page saying the post doesn't exist
2) When I try and browse to the thread manually I can't see the reply.
3) On one occasion I replied to one of these threads asking if someone had posted something and then deleted it. After I submitted the post I could see all the other posts in the thread which were supposedly missing before. The next time I browse to the thread (in a new browser window) I can't see any of the posts.
BROKEN!!!! I for one won't be coming back here until they fix it. Its pathetic.
I have posted something on the bug report forum by the way.
Our website provide users with a forum where they can enter messages. So, typically, a user would enter a message, click submit, and their message would be displayed on the forum.
The db that stores these msgs uses a varchar field. Now, we're adding a facility to convert any urls that are entered to links by adding 'a href' tags, so that when users see messages with urls, those urls appear as links, and they can click on them. The problem is that if a user enters a message of 8K chars, then we add 'a href' tags to any urls they have, that makes the message length > 8K, preventing us from storing it in our db. (Please note that we do need to add HTML tags for other reasons as well, not just to convert urls to links.)
We thought about adding 'a href' tags during pre-render, thus avoiding storing html in the db, but found that doing such string manipulations, while a user is waiting to see their post displayed on the forum, was expensive. Timing tests revealed that the time to render such pages more than doubled.
I have solved such problems previously by adding an extra field in the db to store any overflow data, that is, data that appears after the first 8K chars.
However, I learnt of sql server 2005's varchar(max) datatype, and 'am wondering if the best way to solve this problem would be to replace the varchar field with varchar(max).
i have a main pallet inventory table, kinda like: key location sku qty datercvd1 W9A03 12345 500 5/5/072 W9A04 12345 500 5/5/073 W9A05 12345 500 5/5/07 Now, if i say:Select loc,sku,qty,datercvdFrom TableWhere sku=12345 it works great, now say my order only requiers 700 of that sku,I only want to pull pallets that i need, how can i say:Select loc,sku,qty,datercvdFrom TableWhere sku=12345 (that qty summed is not more than 700?) not sure if i can or how to make it like a formula. Thanks in advance. Jeff
I have got MSSQL 2000 set up on a machine in my rack at my local telehouse, and a web server set up at home on an ADSL line.
Both servers can see (ping) eachother fine , so you can rule out any kind of connectivity issues straight away, but when i try to get my forum to connect to the mssql database using the correct credentials it just fails saying that the credentials are incorrect ot the server does not exist.
I also installed an SQL database tool on my web server (Shusheng SQL Tool) and attempted to connect to my SQL server using that tool, and got the following message: '[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.'
The server is currently using mixed mode authentication (SQL/Windows) and has both TCP/IP and Named pipes enabled.
Is there some kind of 'Enable remote connections' option in SQL? I need to be able to allow connections to my SQL server from any system, anywhere...
I'm just about to launch a forum, and right now its built in ASP classic with an Access db. I origianlly used Access because most hosts charge extra for MS-SQL server. Recently I switched to Jodohost who offers Access, MS-SQL and MySql for at no additional cost. So now that I have the option, I would like to pick the best solution before I launch.
* My questions are...
- What is the best db solution to go with for a currently small forum?
- How problematic do you think a data migration would be in the future if I stayed with Access for now and upgraded to MS-SQL with a full forum?
- Is it just smarter to go with MS-SQL now, with an empty forum, regardless of any preformance issues because potential migration problems are a greater risk?
- At what point does the speed of MS-SQL at high volumes over come the potential lags in accessing MS-SQL if it is hosted on a different machine from the one hosting the webpages?
* And please keep in mind...
- I have no db training. I can muddle through Access well enough, but administrating MS-SQL I think might be another story
- This fourm will start off very small, but could grow to be quite large
- I may not stay with jodohost, and would therefore likely have to pay more for MS-SQL (which I woudl rather not do)
I'm creating a discussion forum for my website, using Sql Server 2000. I need to display 'Number of threads', 'Number of posts', 'Last post by' (username/id and date) for each forum, and 'Number of replies' and 'Last post by' (username/id and date) for each thread.Here are a couple of ideas I have come up with to solve this problem:1) Poll the database (using a stored procedure that returns the number I'm looking for) for each forum when I loop all the fourms. - I suspect this approach isn't optimal, since it creates more traffic to the database.2) Have fields in my Forum and ForumPost tables for 'Number of threads' and so on. Now, create triggers that updates these fields every time a post is made. - I guess this would be much more effective than the first apporach, since everything is done on the database server directly.Are there any other ways that are better? Please advice! Thanks a bunch for any help!
I have been helped greatly by people in this forum for SQL7, but I have some questions about 2000. Is this a place where 2000 is being discussed at all? If not I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.
i am building a forum in asp (just for fun). i have a mssql 2005 server, and i want to mergeimport data from another mssql 2000 server. but i dont know how to do it correctly.
i have some tables like this [forum_c] forum_c_id (PK, int, not null) forum_c_name (varchar, not null)
[forum_sc] forum_sc_id (PK, int, not null) forum_sc_cid (int, not null) forum_sc_name (varchar, not null)
etc...
forum_c meaning "forum categories", and forum_sc "forum sub categories". forum_sc_cid has the value of forum_c_id to know to what categorie it belongs to.
but i dont know how to import it and keep the correct id's. can somebody please tell me what i need to do???
When running practically any report in FRx (we use it to generate reports in Solomon) we are getting the following error:
FRx Reporting Engine:
01000: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The statement has been terminated.
This just recently started happening. Is anyone familiar with this? It doesnt give much information after that, it just will not generate the report after the message pops up.
