Problem Saving Annotation In SSIS Packages .
Feb 28, 2008I have problem saving annotation in SSIS packages .
I notice that when I change or add an annotation without any other change , when I save the package and re-open it
most of the times (but not always) the annotation I just added is removed from the package ,,
and when I look into "versionBuild" property I can see it is not changed .
note that when I do something else (such as , add new data flow)
the annotation is also saved ,
it seems that sometime annotation does not get saved.
1) is it a known issue ?
2) does it only occurs when using annotation.
note that I using sql server 2005 SP2 , and I add this problem both on 32 bit and 64 bit.
thanks in advance

Running A Large Number Of SSIS Packages (with Dtexec Utility) In Parallel From A SQL Server Agent Job Produces Errors
Jan 11, 2008Hi,
I have stumbled on a problem with running a large number of SSIS packages in parallel, using the €œdtexec€? command from inside an SQL Server job.
I€™ve described the environment, the goal and the problem below. Sorry if it€™s a bit too long, but I tried to be as clear as possible.
The environment:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition, SQL Server 2005 32bit Enterprise Edition SP2.
The goal:
We have a large number of text files that we€™re loading into a staging area of a data warehouse (based on SQL Server 2k5, as said above).
We have one €œmain€? SSIS package that takes a list of files to load from an XML file, loops through that list and for each file in the list starts an SSIS package by using €œdtexec€? command. The command is started asynchronously by using system.diagnostics.process.start() method. This means that a large number of SSIS packages are started in parallel. These packages perform the actual loading (with BULK insert).
I have successfully run the loading process from the command prompt (using the dtexec command to start the main package) a number of times.
In order to move the loading to a production environment and schedule it, we have set up an SQL Server Agent job. We€™ve created a proxy user with the necessary rights (the same user that runs the job from command prompt), created an the SQL Agent job (there is one step of type €œcmdexec€? that runs the €œmain€? SSIS package with the €œdtexec€? command).
If the input XML file for the main package contains a small number of files (for example 10), the SQL Server Agent job works fine €“ the SSIS packages are started in parallel and they finish work successfully.
The problem:
When the number of the concurrently started SSIS packages gets too big, the packages start to fail. When a large number of SSIS package executions are already taking place, the new dtexec commands fail after 0 seconds of work with an empty error message.
Please bear in mind that the same loading still works perfectly from command prompt on the same server with the same user. It only fails when run from the SQL Agent Job.
I€™ve tried to understand the limit, when do the packages start to fail, and I believe that the threshold is 80 parallel executions (I understand that it might not be desirable to start so many SSIS packages at once, but I€™d like to do it despite this).
Additional information:
The dtexec utility provides an error message where the package variables are shown and the fact that the package ran 0 seconds, but the €œMessage€? is empty (€œMessage: €œ).
Turning the logging on in all the packages does not provide an error message either, just a lot of run-time information.
The try-catch block around the process.start() script in the main package€™s script task also does not reveal any errors.
I€™ve increased the €œmax worker threads€? number for the cmdexec subsystem in the msdb.dbo.syssubsystems table to a safely high number and restarted the SQL Server, but this had no effect either.
The request:
Can anyone give ideas what could be the cause of the problem?
If you have any ideas about how to further debug the problem, they are also very welcome.
Thanks in advance!

Saving DTS Packages In The Repository...
Sep 29, 2000... and not being able to open them anymore.
I am working with SQL Server 7.0 SP 1. Everything seemed to be running OK but from some days ago when I create a new DTS package and I save it in MS Repository, the package doesn´t appear under the "Repository Package" folder even when I refresh it.
I know it is there because I can see it in the Metadata folder, but there I can not modify it. What happened? Are DTS packages secure? Should I better use local packeges and save them in SQL Server?
Thanks a lot.
Saving Packages And Custom Component Data
Mar 14, 2007I am looking for some advice regarding saving custom component data when saving packages.
For custom "properties", this is not an issue, as saving the package will save these properties. Howver, I also have information for each column (besides the properties that columns provides, like Name and DataType) that I need to save if a package were to be saved, and right now it does not save because I am using my own objects to store the data.
I am wondering as to how I can save this information. I have looked up on serialization, but I would like to know if there is another way besides serialization to save this inforamtion as I'd rather not save this to a seperate file.
Thanks
Any Problems With Large Packages?
Aug 28, 2007I've been suffering with a variety of symptoms lately, and I don't know why:
Can only debug once in BIDS. After that, it can never attach to DtsDebugHost.exe. DtsDebugHost.exe never receives any CPU time, and never grows past its initial memory allocation.
Save takes a long time with 100% CPU usage. This can be as simple as openning a SQL Server Destination component to correct the metadata due to an added column in the underlying table, then saving. It takes several minutes at 100% CPU.
I've had several Visual Studio crashes today (DW has reported these)
I've read here about people with 10MB or 17MB packages, so I feel badly complaining about my 3.2MB package! However, something is going on, and I'd like to know what it is, so I can debug again.
Thanks for any help.
Calling SSIS Packages From ASP.NET - Packages With File System Tasks End Abruptly
Jan 9, 2007I've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
Anybody got any idea on how to go about this?
Integration Services :: Remotely Execute Packages On SSIS Server - Packages Are Deployed In File System
Apr 22, 2015We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
Saving SSIS Package Connection Passwords
Jul 11, 2007Hello All,
I'm new to SQL 2005. I am setting up some SSIS packages which will connect to an Oracle database and copy some tables from it. These packages will then be scheduled to run on a daily basis. Because they will run automatically, it is required that passwords be saved along with the connection string. However, even though the password is saved (and encrypted, I checked the .dtsx in notepad), when I run the package, the connection to Oracle fails. Only if I respecify the password does it run correctly. How can I correctly save this password so that I can schedule automatic execution? Thanks for any info.
SSIS Loses Layout Of Precedence Constraints When Saving.
Oct 29, 2006This is more a medium level annoyance than a problem. When I save a package, close it and later re-open it, the precendence constraints end up all over the place making my neatly layed out diagram a shambles.
Call me anally retentive if you like (you wont be the first ), but I find this extremely annoying. Does anybody else have this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

Automating A Query And The Saving Saving Of Subsequent Results
Dec 13, 2007Hi Guys,
I am trying to automate a basic task using SQL Server 2005 Express.
Currently I have a query script that I run and then save the results as a CSV file. I need to do this on a daily basis and so I am looking to find out how best to go about this. There are a multitude of third party tools that claim to be able to do this - can anyone recommend this or enlighten me of the best way to set up this automation.
All ideas gratefully received!
Large XML File Source In SSIS????
Jan 19, 2007Hi,
I have a problem where I want to import a 1.6 GB XML file with SSIS into a SQL Server database. My hunch is that SSIS is not very good with handling such large amount of XML data. My test shows that SSIS tries to read all of the file into memory.
Does anyone know if there is any solution of solving this memory problem. My problem is that I want to take this source XML file import it into a database, make some transformations on it (eliminate duplicates etc) then produce a NEW XML file as output in a different XSD-format.
Is really SSIS the right tool for this operation?
The source XML file also have mixed content on Complex Types which seems to be a problem for SSIS as well.

Import Large Field From SSIS
Apr 20, 2007Hi,
I am making a SSIS package that imports data from a application using a custom ODBC driver. The field in the application is set to be a "longvarchar" type field and can be from 2 characters to 2MB of data.
I've created a ODBC data connection in the SSIS package and use a "DataReader Source" to read the data I need. The sql statement is very simple
Select log from tablename
When I try to run the SSIS package with that statement it just goes to yellow on the DataReader Source and stops. It stays like that until I stop it. If I select other fields except for that field it works fine. Also I've been able to get it to succeed getting the log field if I select a log record that's not too big. The largest one I've been able to get is 800 characters, but I got one with 2500 characters that just stops on yellow.
In the Progress log the last line says:
[DTS.Pipeline] Information: Execute phase is beginning.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?
SSIS Break Up A Large Package
Jan 2, 2008Hello,
I have a package that has over 80 sequence containers and as I added more sequence containers to the package I started encountered System.OutOfMemoryException error. I am planning to break up this package to six small packages. Is there a quick and safe way to do this? I have tried to use the copy and paste method by creating a new project and move a list of sequence containers over, that seemed to create even more work. Also, if the main package is splitting up to six smaller packages (the main package has the global variables that need to pass the values to the other child packages) how do the variables values pass onto the child packages?
Thank you so much in advance,
Andrew

SSIS Packages Run Twice After SP2
Mar 12, 2007Hi,

After removing SP2, they work fine. Any ideas how to make this work with SP2?
SSIS Packages
Aug 24, 2006I am writing a vb application that is supposed to let the users set the connection string for the datasources in the package. After new connection strings are entered the application is supposed to run 8 packages in a certain order, but I haven't been able to set a new connection string successfully. Is there a way to programmatically modify the connection string of a package's datasource? (the packages are moving data from a D3 database to sql server 2005)
Here is what I have tried so far:
A.
Dim pkgLocation As String
Dim app As Application = New Application()
pkgLocation = "c:Package1.dtsx"
Dim pkg As Package = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, Nothing)
Dim myConns As Connections = pkg.Connections
MessageBox.Show(myConns(0).ID.ToString)
Dim myConnMgr As ConnectionManager = myConns(0)
Dim connProperties As DtsProperties = myConnMgr.Properties
connProperties(0).SetValue(myConnMgr, "notsupposed=towork;")
MessageBox.Show(myConnMgr.ConnectionString)
B.
ConMgr = p.Connections.Add("OLEDB")
ConMgr.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=192.168.0.233; User ID=sa; Initial Catalog=Rmt_New"
ConMgr.Name = "SqlDatabase"
ConMgr.Description = "Sql Connection"
Any help would appreciated.
Can't Seem To Run SSIS Packages On The 64 Bit...
Feb 28, 2006I am connecting to a DB2 mainframe to pull data into SQL 2005. Very simple import. SSIS package works fine on 32 bit. However, once deployed to the 64 bit machine, I get "invalid product license" on the Acquire Connection method.
I've worked with IBM support. I have the correct version of the DB2 Connect client installed. The license is there and in the right place. I can connect to the mainframe from the 64 bit server using the DB2 client tools. I just can't seem to execute the package from Integration Services or run a job in SQL Server that executes the package.
According to BOL, the package should automatically detect the 64 client I installed. It and the 32 bit client I developed with share the same name/id.
Am I missing something? Any hints?
Ssis Packages
Feb 7, 2007Where are SSIS packages stored and how can I see them in SQL Server Management studio?
View 6 Replies View RelatedDTS Packages In SSIS
Sep 15, 2006I read in Kirk Haselden's book "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services" that if SQL Serfver 2005 and 2000 are installed on the same machine as seperate instances then you can view the SQL Server 2000 DTS packages in 2005 Management Studio under the Management tree, Legacy, Data Transformation Services node.
But in my case, I am not able to see DTS packages in Management Studio. Is there a property or a setting that we need to configure for that?
Thanks.
SSIS Create Large Temp Files!!!
Oct 22, 2007
Hello,
I created a SSIS solution for reading data from dbase and storing them in SQL Server. In a ForEachDirectory-Loop up to one thousand dbase files are read and stored. The system where the packages are running has 16 GB RAM.
For the first few hundred dbase files everything goes fine, but then, the RAM seems not to suffice any more and a temp file is created (I changed the path in BufferTempStoragePath).
How can it be that there is a need to create temp files if there is so much RAM available?
Why is the RAM filled more and more during the SSIS package execution?
Is there anything I can do to release some of it? (it is running in a loop and there is no need to store all the data)
Could it be caused by dbase?? (I use Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider)
Another thing is that the temp file is not stored in the path I set in BufferTempStoragePath.
There are sufficient permissions set, but temp file is still created in user temp folder...
Any kind of help is very much appreciated!
Best Regards,
Stefan

SSIS Packages In A Cluster
Jan 17, 2007I'm still new to SSIS packages and I'm NOT a developer. I am in the process of doing preliminary/prepatory work for migrating our SQL 2000 platforms to SQL 2005.
I am having a REAL headache with migrating/moving DTS packages from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. Here are things that I know :
1. I know that some packages cannot be migrated due to ActiveX issues and other issues. Fine.
2. I know that I can install DTS backwards compatibility components on the server in order to be able to edit the DTS packages using a SQL 2000 DTS GUI. Fine.
3. I know that I can use the Migration wizard to migrate packages (and that some of them can't be migrated this way). Fine.
Here's what I don't know/or am conjecturing:
1. In a clustered environment, I have to edit the <%Install Path%>/90/DTS/Bin/MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml file to set the <ServerName> property to the Virtual Server name. Correct? Why can't M$ do this for me?
2. Do I HAVE to export the SSIS package to a .DTSX file in order to be able to edit it with Visual Studio? Is there ANY way around this?
3. If I am running in a clustered environment and I use the File System for storing packages, then the pacakges must be stored on a shared volume, right?
4. I did not find SQL Server Integration services on the B- (Passive) node. Do I have to install it separately onto the B server (much like having to install the Client Tools)?
If anyone has some guidance or tips on running SSIS in this brave, new, wonderful world, I would sure appreciate it.
And yes, I am going to go out right now and order a new book on SSIS.

I've created and saved the packages using the export wizard.I saved the Packages as Integration Services Packages(On file System).
Now he wants me to execute the packages using SSIS But in different time,like maybe after 5min.Other package runs.
I really have no clue how to do that,I've added Both packages in SSIS,But i really dont know how to run them in different time.
If anyone could help please do so!
