I have been using a 180 day trial version of VS2005 Pro. It was due to expire so instead of purchasing that version, I got VS2008 Standard.
Problem: cannot run/edit SSIS 2205 projects within VS2008. Okay, so I uninstalled the VS2005 Pro trial version and reinstalled VS2005 IDE component that somes with SQL Server 2005. My idea: use VS2005 for SSIS work and VS2008 for everything else)
Seemed to install correctly. I can open VS (as SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio). Everything looks normal, except when I try to view a SSIS package. I consistantly get the following error message:

My software and OS is all licensed properly.
Any thoughts?
The only reason why this stuff doesn't give me grey hair is that I am bald...
I need to deploy some SSIS packages onto a remote Integration Server machine. Hence I wrote a VS 2005 Setup with Custom Action (C# Installer class) which uses the SSIS DTSX Dlls to deploy the Packages onto an Integration Server. I am shipping all the necessary DLLs in the MSI itself, so that the MSI can run on any client machine having just .NET 2.0 Framework installed.
When I run the Setup on a Machine having Integration Server, the Setup works fine and the Packages are deployed.
However, if I try to run the MSI on a machine which just has the .NET 2.0 Framework installed, I get the following error.
SqlServer.DTS.Runtime.Application could not be created. Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {E44847F1-FD8C-4251-B5DA-B04BB22E236E} failed due to the following error. 80040154
I am not sure whether any of the DLLS are COM components. I believe all are Managed DLLs.I believe SSIS 2005 looks like a pre-requisite but I don't need that.
Please help. I am posting this query here, as I believe ppl writing SSIS Packages may have faced this issue.
BIDS hangs when I open any SSIS packages. "Microsoft Visual Studio Is Busy" message displays in the system tray. It indicates that Microsoft Visual Studio is waiting for an internal operation to complete; however, it never seems to complete. I have recycled the server hoping to break it loose, however nothing seems to free it up. I have not had this situation before and I cannot figure out why it is having problems. BIDS shows it is "Validating Data Flow Task". Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Would it be a true statement that whenever you use BIDS to alter a SSIS package the source has to be available because verification and validation is always done on the source and destination? If the source were not available could that cause the hang in BIDS???
I am not able to open the package in BIDS. When I open the package I am seeing only the XML. Below I had given what I have done.
First I have installed Visual studio 2008 Professional and next I installed SQL Server 2005 with Integration services, database services, workflow components.
I am able to see the BIDS in Start --> All Programes --> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 --> "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio"
I have SQL Server 2005 installed on a Vista Home Premium edition machine. I want to open my DTS packages on this machine in order to have a look at them.
I have installed the SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer components on this machine. I have also rebooted after the installation.
However, I still get the message
"SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer components are required to edit DTS packages. Install the special Web download, "SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components" to use this feature"
I have previously done this on an XP machine with no problems. Does anyone know if this is an issue and what the possible solution is?
Hi, I have been developing SSIS packages and recently I found a strange thing happening. When executing chilld packages from the parent packages the child packages dont open automatically in the Package Designer window. Hence I cant monitor the places where the errors/ row movement have happened in child pkgs without manually opening the them first and then executing the parent.
I am able to connect to Integration Services in MSSMS. However, when I try to expand and click on MSDB under Stored Packages, I get a Login Timeout expired error. I get this error both locally, and remotely. Error message suggested "does not allow remote connections", but I checked Surface Area Configuration, and remote connection is already enabled. Moreover, I get the same error even when connecting locally.
I'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.
We 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.
Is there a way you can open an SSIS package without validating it?
The reason is - when I take a package from PROD and open it in DEV - initially all settings-variables are wrong - and the validation takes heck of long time in that case. And then I need to change the variables and reload the package. And bloody hell - if I forgot to change a variable - I sometimes have to validate package 3 times. And sometimes - I only need to get visual look of package - so why do I always need to wait for validation...
We need duplicate a large number of SSIS packages , changing only server connection and database name inside the OLE DB Source sql command. Is there any easy way to do it , I mean without opening every package individually?
I'am relatively new to SSIS-programming and experiencing a serious problem with a package (6618 KB large) containing 5 dataflows. These dataflows all start from a datareader-origin and flow trough multiple transformations. While editing the fifth dataflow the developmentenvironment suddenly became unworkably slow. After any modification made to the dataflow it takes several minutes before I can continue editing. Meanwhile in the task manager the process devenv takes a very large portion (50 to 100%) of CPU.
Building the package,shutting down SSIS and even rebooting the PC don't make any difference. When you close the package ands reopen it, this takes at least 10 minutes.
We work with Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer Version 9.00.1399.00.
Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of transformations in a flow or the size of a package? Could that be the problem?
Before this problem occured I was multiplying transformations by copying ,renaming and altering them within a dataflow. Could SSIS have some problem with that?
Any suggestion for solving this problem, other than chucking it all away an restarting, will be gratefully accepted.
I am getting the following error when I try to open my SSIS package
Error 1 Error loading CCTAdvocateList.dtsx: The connection "DestinationConnectionOLEDB" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found. j:cct db migrationcodecct db migrationCCTAdvocateList.dtsx 1 1 Error 4 Error loading CCTAdvocateList.dtsx: The connection "SourceConnectionOLEDB" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found. j:cct db migrationcodecct db migrationCCTAdvocateList.dtsx 1 1
The connections which BIDS is complaining about are not even there in the package. I had created these two connections some time ago but then I had removed them from the package and it was working ever since.
Suddenly I have started to get these error messages.
I have been handed a datawarehouse environment to look at however I cannot find the ssis packages (.dtsx).
I see that the packages have been deployed to SSISDB but I can't find the files to load into Datatools.
Once the files have been deployed is it possible to remove the package files? Is there a way of retro'ing the deployed packages out of SQL so I can view them in Datatools?
I have an IS package containing approx. 10 tasks in the control flow - one of these tasks is a rather large data flow containing around 50 transformations plus 3 sources and two destinations. Around 10 of these are script components and another 10 are Union All transformations. The rest are primarily lookups, conditional splits and derived column transformation.
The XML file containing the package is approx. 4.5 MB. As I am developing the package, it is becoming increasingly slow to work with as more transformations are added to the data flow. Now, it takes 8 minutes every time I have to open the package for development (DelayValidation is even set to true) and DTExec (not the debugger) uses the same amount of time before it starts executing the package. It also takes a very long time to edit the data flow, as I typically have to wait 1-2 minutes every time the designer has to "commit" a change.
Does anyone have any idea what can be done to speed up the package - both with regard to development and execution?
I have an excel sheet that has a bunch of columns. Some of these columns have static data but there are a few of the columns that retrieve data by making calls to servers and returning values that populate these columns. Usually about 30 mins before the columns are populated.
I then need to to load the excel sheet into a table.
I was wondering if there was anyway by which we can make the connection to the excel sheet and then force a delay of about 30 mins before it starts retriving the data?
Is this possible in ssis? Or can I achieve it by some other means?
After I had transfered SSIS package to another PC I tried to open package and I got an error. ".. Failed to decrypt protected XML node "PackagePassword" with error . ". It turned out, that the password wasn't saved in a OLEDB connection manager of the Package. However "save password" options checked! But password field was empty.
As soos as I enter password the package executes successfully.
Question: How can I transfer a password for OLEDB Connection within a SSIS package to another developer's VS2005?
I have a solution with a couple of ssis projects in it. Everytime I open the solution, Visual Studio creates an extra .database file for the project's existing xxx.database file. The solution is under VSS control and VS2005 checks out the project and shows the file as a newly added file.
What causes this and how can I prevent this from occurring?
There are 2 of us working on the solution and the other fellow does not see this behavior.
The files do not show up in the VS2005 solution explorer. If they are user specific as I suspect (impersonation info?), then they should not be added to the .dtproj project file.
We're experiencing a problem where intermittently our SSIS packages will hang. There are no log errors or events in the event viewer. It will happen whether the package is executed from the SQL Job Agent or run from BIDs. When running from BIDs it appears to hang inside one of the data flows (several parallel pipes with sorts, merge joins etc...). It appears to hang in multiple pipes within the data flow component. The problem is reproducable, we just kill it and re-run, and it appears to hang in the same places.
Now here's the odd thing: as we simply open and close some of the components in the pipe line after the place it hangs, a subsequent run will go further in the pipeline before hanging. If we open and close all the components after the point it initially hung, the data flow will run fine, from there on out. When I say "open and close" I mean no changes are made, we simply double-click the component, like a merge join, then click 'close.'
To me this does not seem like a memory problem but likely something is wrong with the metadata, where opening a component and closing it somehow alters the metadata to "right it".
This seems to occur intermittently after we make modifications to the package. It's like if you make any mod, even unrelated to the data flow, you then have to go through and open and close every component in your package to ensure it will work. Again, no errors or warnings are fired.
I have VS 2013 installed in my machine with SQL server 2012 ,I have installed Microsoft data tools for VS 2013,In the integration service project  i used script component when i try to pen the script task its not opening VSTA projects ,its simple ideally without any action.I am facing this issue for past 2 months i tried fixing this problem but no use.
The script  task editor has "Access VSTA to write script using VS 2012".So i installed VSTA tools for 2012 and 2013 but no issue.
But the script component works for VS 2010.I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio tools for VS 2012,VS2012 AND VS 2013.
I have created SSIS (.dtsx) files and have stored in different servers. Now my query is I want to move all dtsx files from filesystem to Sqlserver2005 database how should i do it.
I need to create the ssis package in business intelligence developement studio i am need to sqlserver 2005.When i opened the BID studio i am not able to see the integration services packages type.. Please help the steps to design the package.
I have experience of using the 2000 in dts designer mode.
I upgraded to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 and now when I run the master SSIS package( that has several packages in it), all the packages run twice.
After removing SP2, they work fine. Any ideas how to make this work with SP2?
I 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
I 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.
I 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?
I'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.
Hello, When I try to save modifies in packages with many components the system show me a information dialog telling me that there was a System.OutOfMemoryException
Anyone knows how to solve this problem without divide the package in 2 or more packages?
