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.
In the Control flow tab, I have an Execute SQL Task that outputs full Result set into a variable of an object type. Now how can I write the contents of the Full Result Set into a text file using Script Task. I also want to format the following way while I output into a file:
Column Name 1 : Column Value
Column Name 2: Column Value and so on
I tried writing the contents of the Object Variable into a file, but the file had an output of single word: System.__ComObject.
Code for Writing the Full Result Set into a Text File
Dim RSsqloutput as String = Dts.Variables("objVariable").Value.ToString
Dim strVal as String = "File completed on " & Now() & vbCrLf & "------------------------------------------------------" & vbCrLf
I have a stored procedure that is executed via a sql script task that returns a full result set. I map this result set to a variable or object type. Is there a way to use this variable as a data source in a subsequent data flow task?
i need to know how many rows are in a certain table and store this value in a variable in order to process this variable later in the package. of course i can build a data flow task within a row count component but as far as i understand it's necessary to read all data from a data source in order to use the row count component. now the question is if it's possible to use a sql task in the control flow and put a select count(*) statement within the task and then write the result of this select statement into a variable. shouldn't that be much more faster than using a whole dataflow for this problem?
I have looked thru several similar threads with errors like this, but have not found a resolution. I have a SQL Task that runs this query:
Code Snippet select NetRevenue = cast(sum(Base_Price + AL + MI + PO) as dec(10,2)) from Lancelot.DataWhse.dbo.GrossMarginDetail where tran_date_key <= ? + ' 23:59:59' and label_group <> 'X' and not (ar_ship_key in ('S999991','S998101''S998102')) and Document <> 'Cust Bal Debit Memo'
There is a parameter mapping of "User::LastSaturday" of type date. I also have a result set with a result set name of "0" with a variable name of "User::GrossMargin," which is defined as a double in the package. The task has a resultset type of Single row, and at the moment the answer that is returned is 66228637.10.
If I change the package variable to a type of string it of course works, but then I cannot do comparisons against it. I have step by step manually copied this from an existing DTSX, so I am baffled why this isn't working, and I'm ready to throw myself under a truck!
I also tried to bring it in as a string, then convert it in a script task, but I cannot figure out how to reference the input and output variables. I can't seem to find any relevant docs on how to do that...
If anyone has any ideas, I and my sanity would greatly appreciate it.
I am building a simple package that looks at the results of a sql query, prior to running the next step.
Basically Outline and settings
SQL task
Result Set: Full result set
SQL Source: Direct Input
SQL Statement: Select Count (*) FROM X
Parameter Mapping
Variable Name: User::C
Direction: Return Value
Data Type: Numeric
Parameter Name: NewParameterName
Result Set = NewResultName: User::C
Precedence Constraint
Evaluation Operation: Expression and Constraint
Value: Success
Expression: @C > 0 ( I originally tried User::C and received an error message)
Execute SQL Server Agent Job
If step one results greater than 1, then execute the SQL agent job (SRS Report) Using this setup I receive an error message stating "
TITLE: Package Validation Error ------------------------------ Package Validation Error ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Error at Package: The expression "@C > 0" must evaluate to True or False. Change the expression to evaluate to a Boolean value. Error at Package: There was an error in the precedence constraint between "Execute SQL Task" and "Execute SQL Server Agent Job Task". (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)
Any thought or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
On an Execute Process Task, are there properties I can examine to determine the outcome of a process? I know that I can use a Success/Failure constraint to direct my workflow appropriately, depending on the outcome, but I would prefer the workflow continue on to the same task regardless, and then be able to change the flow later on based on the outcome of the process.
I see there is an ExecValueVariable property, and this may be what I'm looking for, but I have no idea what this is and can not find any documentation on it. I tried using it, but kept getting a runtime error trying to set it to a variable.
I know that a process returns a numeric value, and it would be nice if I could store this somewhere.
I am new to SSIS so I'm sure this is easy to do but I can't seem to figure it out. I created a SQL task that creates a result set. I would like to loop through each result of the result set and insert it into another table.
I'm not sure how to map the result set as input to the second SQL task that will do the insert. I can put the variable in the parameter mapping but I don't know what the SQL should look like to insert this into my table. Each row of the result set has five columns. Normally I have something that looks like INSERT...Values(?,?,?,?,?) but because my input parameter is just one result set object this doesn't work.
I am getting the following error when I execute my sql task:
An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "NullVar": " NO result rowset is associated with the execution of this query. "
I am executing a SP that has one input & one output parameter. The output parameter is returning a single row for debugging if the sp failes. I tried using Jamie's method:(http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/12/09/2480.aspx) to get it to work but keep getting the above error. I have the following variables:
In the execute sql task, I set the ResultSet to single row. I set SQLSourceType = variable & sourcevariable = user::SqlSource. In the result tab, I added a result set, NewResultName with the variable user::NullVar. I tried different configurations with the parameter mappings but nothing seemed to work. I didn't know if i still had to use this if I am using the sqlSource variable to drive the task.
So I am not sure what I am missing here. Anyone have any suggestions?
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] + ")
I have an Execute SQL Task that may return a result set. If it returns a result set, I'd like to log a failure in my package with the results visible.
I have logging turned on and that's working great. I've read about assigning results to a user variable of type Object and that's great. I can shred my results, thanks Jamie, with a Foreach loop no problem. Within that loop, I've got some VB that manipulates the values and will call Dts.Events.FireError as appropriate. However, VB is frowned upon here so my boss has asked that I push the VB logic into a Control Flow item.
I've built custom components already so I've got some familiarity with the process. Where I'm stuck at is figuring out _what_ the actual object type is in my code. The Connection manager is Native OLE DBSQL Native client. My Execute SQL Task uses a connection type of OLE DB with a Full result set. Results are stored in a variable named ErrorResultSet. Within the Execute method, I currently have this code set up in an attempt to pick apart the object and discover the available methods.
// Iterate through the variables that we were // able to lock. Assigning values to entities as // available. foreach (Variable _en in _variableCollection) { switch (_en.Name) { case "ErrorResultSet": Object _rs = _en.Value; System.Type _type; _type = _rs.GetType(); System.Data.DataSet _realResults; _realResults = _rs as System.Data.DataSet; // My expectation is that the cast of _realResults would // not fail. break; } } // unlock before we go _variableCollection.Unlock(); return DTSExecResult.Success;
At this point, my assumption is that the unboxed type of the recordset is not in the System.Data.DataSet inheritance chain as the cast failed. Anyone have insight into what it is? I can't seem to get any hits on google for what it's using behind the scenes in the Foreach ADO Enumerator.
Beyond the immediate question, anyone have thoughts on how else I can solve the problem? I had thought perhaps the task could raise an event if it returned rows but it didn't seem to have that functionality. Even if that had worked, telling the logging provider to capture the result set into the log might have been too much for native functionality. Another option I was thinking about would be to continue using the Enumerator and my custom component is a pure rewrite of the current Script task with the obvious downside being that I'd lose the generic-ness I was hoping to get with being able to hit my dataset.
I am using SQL Server 2005 Integration Services to create new values for my tables. One step I must do is execute a query and the script task that receive its constraint (it is set to completion) must do different things depending on the query result.
My question is: how can I know the result of the precedence constraint?
I wonder if you can help with the following requirement.
I want to be able to conditionally execute an 'execute process task' depending on the result of a query. I have a table which I will select one record/row from upon each execution, this record has a char 1 'type' field which is the indicator for what process to then execute.
This should be quite a simple package and will be run every 60 seconds so needs to be as efficient as possible.
I am thinking I should go along the lines of using an Execute SQL task to select my row in to a result set, and using a series of precedence expressions to determine what process to execute. But im not really sure how.....
I am a newbie to SSIS and 2005 in general so would appreciate any help you can provide
For our customer we are trying to create dynamically local cube files. Because the requirements are complex and we need to generate a lot of cube files, we can't use the MDX script CREATE GLOBA CUBE to create the local cubes and we have to use SSIS to have it done automatically. These are the steps we are following: 1. In a SSIS package, through a Script task, we generate the ASSL script in order to create the database and we stores the script in a column of the XML datatype in SQL Server through a stored procedure "SSAS_TEST.InsertASSLScript". The following code is use in the script task:
Code Block Imports System Imports System.IO Imports System.Data Imports System.Math Imports System.Xml Imports System.Data.SqlClient Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime Imports Microsoft.AnalysisServices Class ScriptMain 'Create writers and set formating for xml Dim myScripter As Scripter 'Represents a writer to write information to a string Dim myStringWriter As New System.IO.StringWriter() Dim myStringWriterTrans As New System.IO.StringWriter() 'Represents a writer that provides a fast, non-cached, forward-only way of generating streams or files containing XML data that conforms to the W3C Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 and the Namespaces in XML recommendations.

End Class
2. We manipulate the ASSL-script in order to create the cube that we want to have as local cube
3. We extract the final ASSL-script from the database through an "Execute SQL Task" with a XML Result Set. The SQL use in the task is:
Code Block SELECT cast(CUBE_XMLA as varchar(max)) FROM SSAS_TEST.CUBE_XMLA WHERE (COUNTRY_CODE = '500')
I have also tried
Code Block SELECT CUBE_XMLA FROM SSAS_TEST.CUBE_XMLA WHERE (COUNTRY_CODE = '500')
and
Code Block SELECT CUBE_XMLA FROM SSAS_TEST.CUBE_XMLA WHERE (COUNTRY_CODE = '500') FOR XML AUTO
I always get the same error: "Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "SELECT cast(CUBE_XMLA as varchar(max))
FROM SSAS_TEST.CUBE_XMLA
WHERE (COUNTRY_CODE = '500') " failed with the following error: "/ROOT/*[local-name()="Batch" and namespace-uri()="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine"][1]/*[local-name()="Create" and namespace-uri()="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine"][1]/*[local-name()="ObjectDefinition" and namespace-uri()="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine"][1]/*[local-name()="Database" and namespace-uri()="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine"][1]/*[local-name()="Cubes" and namespace-uri()="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine"][1]/*[local-name()="Cube" and namespace-uri()="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine"][1]/*[local-name()="MeasureGroups" and namespace-uri()="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine"][1]/*[local-name()="MeasureGroup" and namespace-uri()="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine"][1]/*[local-name()="Source" and namespace-uri()="http://schemas.microsoft.com/analysisservices/2003/engine"][1]

Does anyone know how to handle this?
If we could use this XML variable, we will use another Script task to generate our Local Cube(s). The script task looks like this:
Code Block Imports System Imports System.Data Imports System.Math Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime Imports Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient Imports System.Data.SqlClient Imports System.Xml Public Class ScriptMain ' The execution engine calls this method when the task executes.

I hope that someone can help us. We browse the net without result,
I have an sproc that gives an xml result set. I want to save this to a file but by using ssis and script task. Now, I do exec usp_myProc in execute sql task and get the result as xml. (I can get it as result set too but niether has worked). Now I pass this variable to my script task User::XRset.
In the script task I create a file and then I want to write xml result of User::XRset to my file. I am at loss.
I have a 'Execute SQL Task' in my 'control flow', my 'Execute SQL Task' will return a value which I am assigning to a variable. Based on the value of the variable, I need to control my other flows. If the variable's value is 1 then I should invoke a dataflow, else I should write a failure error message in event viewer. Please could someone provide some inputs on how this can be done.
'Execute SQL Task' ----->value 1 ------>data flow to be executed
'Execute SQL Task' ----->value !=1 ------> write some error message in the event viewer and no tasks should be executed after that.
Is there anyone who was able to successfully retrieve a full result set? I'm really having troubles getting the result after executing my query. Its really even hard to get sample codes over the net.
I am trying to have an Excecute SQL Task return a single row result set executed on SQL Server 2005.
The query in the Execute SQL Task is: select 735.234, 2454.123
I get a conversion error when trying to assign to SSIS variables of type Double. I have nothing configured in the "Parameter Mapping" tab. I have the two SSIS Double variables mapped to the Tesult Name 0 and 1 in the "Result Set" tab
I don't want to use a for loop enumerator since there is a single row returned.
I simply want to assign these two values to SSIS Double variables (double is the closest match)
I can't even hack this by converting the decimals as string and then using DirectCast to convert them to Double.
I am trying to create a SSIS package that will create a csv of a dataset for daily events in the database. However there will be days that there was no activity and thus an empty dataset. The package still runs fine but I want to stop the package if the dataset is empty.
FLOW:
DATA FLOW task: get daily data and put in CSV file
FTP TASK: upload the file to FTP server
MAIL/Copy file task: Move the file and then send a confirmation mail on task completion status.
Pretty simple and it all works great, I do have a few complexities in there. What I would like to add and I am at a loss is at the beginning, if the OLE DB Task resultset is empty then move to Mail Task otherwise process normally. I have tried conditional split, derived columns, the only thing I haven't tried in Script task and am not sure about that yet.
I cannot find the data type for parameter mapping from Execute SQL Task Editor to make this works.
1. Execute SQL Task 1 - select max(columnA) from tableA. ColumnA is varbinary(8); set result to variable which data type is Object.
2. Execute SQL Task 2 - update tableB set columnB = ? What data type should I use to map the parameter? I tried different data types, none working except GUI but it returned wrong result.
Does SSIS variable support varbinary data type? I know there's a bug issue with bigint data type and there's a work-around. Is it same situation with varbinary?
This is the first time I've tried creating an "execute sql task" with a "full result set".
I've read in the documentation that I must set the resultname to 0, which is done, and that the variable must be of type object. Also done.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "select * from blah" failed with the following error: "The SelectCommand property has not been initialized before calling 'Fill'.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Has anyone else had success with a full result set?
Kindly i need support in this issue, i create task flow import from flat file and store in database but i need to save all result for task into specific table
I set up a connection to mysql using ADO.NET's ODBC Data Provider. And I'm running a simple query to return one table's maximum ID(int32 unsigned). There is no problem to achieve that.
But when I bind the result to a variable and excute task. It gives out error message: "An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "MaxAuditLogID": "Result binding by name "MaxID" is not supported for this connection type. "
I tried to change the type of variable around but with no luck.

As the topic suggests I need the end results to show a list of shows and their dates ordered by date DESC. Tables I have are structured as follows:
SHOWS showID showTitle
SHOWACCESS showID remoteID
VIDEOS videoDate showID
SQL is as follows:
SELECT shows.showID AS showID, shows.showTitle AS showTitle, (SELECT MAX(videos.videoFilmDate) AS vidDate FROM videos WHERE videos.showID = shows.showID) FROM shows, showAccess WHERE shows.showID = showAccess.showID AND showAccess.remoteID=21 ORDER BY vidDate DESC;
I had it ordering by showTitle and it worked fine, but I need it to order by vidDate. Can anyone shed some light on where I am going wrong?
I am trying to code a WHERE xxxx IN ('aaa','bbb','ccc') requirement but it the return values for the IN keyword changes according to another column, thus the need for a CASE function.
WHERE GROUP.GROUP_ID = 2 AND DEPT.DEPT_ID = 'D' AND WORK_TYPE_ID IN ( CASE DEPT_ID WHEN 'D' THEN 'A','B','C' <---- ERROR WHEN 'F' THEN 'C','D ELSE 'A','B','C','D' END )
I kept on getting errors, like
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 44Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'WHERE'. which leads me to assume that the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN statement does not allow mutiple values for result expression. Is there a way to get the SQL above to work or code the same logic in a different manner in just one simple SQL, and not a procedure or T-SQL script.
