Hi All, any advice or help greatly appreciated, I need to Process Dimensions and Cubes Overnight, what is the best and most reliable way of achieving this.
I need to design an SSIS package that processes three cubes within a SSAS database and all their related dimensions.
I also need to ensure this SSIS task is transactional (i.e users are able to browse and query the cube continuously throughout the day...even while the cubes are being processed).
I have noticed that simply adding an Analysis Services Processing Task, and having that task process the 3 cubes with the process options set to "Process Update" and the "Process affected Objects" (visible after clicking change settings) selected DOES NOT force the processing of the dependent dimensions of the cubes.
I have also tried changing the Process Options of the 3 cubes to "Process Full"
I also get errors implying that attribute keys in the fact table are not found in the dimension indicating that the cube is being re-processed before the dimensions have or the dimensions were not re-processed. I came to that conclusion because..If I manually (via management studio) process the dimensions and then the cubes immediately after this error...there are no errors.
I have worked around this by creating two tasks. The first processes the dimensions and the second processes the cubes. This however will not work for jobs run in the day..since it means the cubes may be in an invalid state when the dimensions are being processed.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice or standards that might help?
I've an SSIS packeage that genrates offline cube (.cub) files via an MDX query run against an Analysis Services cube. When I run the package through the Management Studio all runs fine and the cube files are generated and can be used by excel.
However when I run this package through a SQL Agent job the files are generated and the job completes successfully , but when I try to open them in Excel they appear to be corrupted and I the Data Link properties screen comes up. In looking at the files the ones generated by the SQL Agent are also a different size than those generated from running the package directly
Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior? As an FYI I'm adding the files to the SQL Agent step from the SSIS Package Store.
Sorry if this is old problem, newbie to these forums.
I have SSRS 2005 trying to connect to cube on AS2000. Getting an error of "Unable to recognize the requested property ID 'ReturnCellProperties'". Did google a little and tried a suggested workaround of adding ConnectTo=8.0 to the datasource with no resolution. 1. Has anyone been able to get it to work ? 2. Would it be possible to have SSRS2005 connect to SSAS2005 while the cube points to the tables on sql server 2000 ?
All servers/software are at the latest SP levels including hotfixes. (windows 2003 servers sp1, sql200 sp4, sql2005 sp2 + hotfix) Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
This might seems a little 'out there', but has anyone tried doing ETL from an Oracle 10g ODS into an Oracle 10g DW, and from there into SSAS2005 cubes?
I would like to have a SSIS package which loops through each xml file (.xml files) in a folder on the network. And then for each file pull out the data and insert into a sql server table. Please kindly guide me through this i.e. What task(s) are required, etc. Thanks
There is a function called "proactive caching" in Analysis services. It can: ----Automatic synchronization with the relational database ----No more explicit "cube processing
But I cannot have the latest data in the cube even I set the proactive mode as "real time"
Do I need SSIS to process cube in this case?
Following is the procedures I have done: 1. test the data 1.1 use the bi dev studio to browser the cube, ensure no new data are there 1.2 process the the cube and browser the data, ensure new data are there 1.3 delete new data from source database and reprocess the cube, ensure no new data are there 1.4 add new data again
2. configure the proactive setting of cube 2.1 use sql server management studio to open the cube and open the properties window 2.2 in the option of "proactive caching" select "low-latency MOLAP" (even real-time ROLAP later), then click ok
3. configure the proactive setting of cube 3.1 open the patitions view properties window
3.2 in the option of "proactive caching" select "low-latency MOLAP" (even real-time ROLAP later), then click ok
3.3 in the notification tab, select "sql server " and specifiy tracking tables to the "fact table", which is a view to get data from real fact table.
4. wait a period of time...
5. test the data again 5.1 use the bi dev studio to browser the cube, but no new data are there (even I selected real-time ROLAP later). I even tried the reconnect and refresh options in the tool bar
So my questions are : 1. Did I do the right thing to achieve the target "Automatic synchronization with the relational database "
2. Can I monitor the procedure of synchronization, such as monitoring the log of processing, viewing the schedule setting and status of the process?
OK, I just want to know if I can use SSIS to open one text file create a table with the info in SQL Server. Then open another fixed length file and insert rows in this table. I want to do this from an application in .Net. for e.g. I have a file that says "Col1 String 20, Col2 String 20,". This will create a table "Table1" in database DB1. then it will open a text file that has 200 rows for Col1 and Col2 with fixed length as 20. The table will be filled with the rows in the second text file. I want to give the user the ability to select the above files and when he clicks submit, the table will be filled. Is it possible?
I'm working with SSIS and I would add the Integration Service project to the daily build process but I need to know how to generate the <name>.SSISDeploymentManifest other then invoking the devenv.exe.
I have a command to decrypt a file that I can run from the command line and it works beautifully. However, when I stuff it into an execute process task, it errors out every time or does nothing.
Here is the command I can run from the command line:
I've pointed the execute process task object to the gpg.exe executable on my system and am stuffing the remainder in the arguments line. I have also tried changing around all the timeout settings and sucess values. I have found I can change the success value to 2 and it will show up as being green when complete, but the file doesn't decrypt. It just in turn will throw an error on the next piece because the required file is not there.
I will probably end up writing a script to get this to work and use a script task but I really want to know why this will not work.
Anyone seen this SSIS error when importing data? I have a 64bit quad processor with 8gb and am importing from Oracle 9 using 32bit DTExec.exe from the command line.

Either not enough memory is available to the pipeline because not enough is installed, other processes are using it, or too many buffers are locked.
I have a ETL ( SSIS ) Process in which i am loading around 150 tables in each run. ( Truncate and Insert ). I have four packages each from different sources. ( Each package loads different tables and different numbers )These are run on weekly basis one after the other. Each package is taking around 60 to 90 minutes each. Now i want to track the progress of the ETL on my front End application.
We want this in two ways.
First Way : I need to show the user how much percent of ETL Process is completed
Second Way : I need to show the No of tables completed and how many rows have been completed in the ongoing table ( which is in process )
It is possible to program part of the process of load of data within the SSIS. The origin is a Flat file (.txt and .dat) and the destiny a SQL Server 2005. All the fields of the file are not mapean origin with the destiny table and data are needed other tables that are in the Data Base.
At First sorry for my English. I have a Problem with a SSIS Project with a Process Task. If I start the Project in Visual Studio then it work with no problems. But when I start it in a Order with the Sql Server-Agent, its run infinitely.
There is no error message, the Server Agent says that the job work, I can see the .exe file in the task manager. but it will no really executed.
Right now I built an SSIS package to transform data from external source into local database server. I schedule it to be processed at that database server (ex Server A). Is there any difference performance if I replaced the SSIS package to be processed at another server (ex Server B) ? I'd like to separate the process because I want to reduce workload in Server A by removing the SSIS process to Server B. Am I correct ?
I have an Execute Process Task within my package that executes a BCP command which outputs the resultset of a query to a file in the network share. It works fine most of the time, however sometimes for unknown reasons, the following error message gets logged in my log table - In Executing "c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinncp.exe" "Select Comments, SoldToCustomerNbr, ProductGroupingCode, ProductGroupingName, RevSumCategoryCode, RevSumCategoryName, ValidFromDate, DTSCollectPct, DTSPrepaidPct, DTSPickUpPct, DCCollectPct, DCPrepaidPct, DCPickUpPct From ShipmentTypeCustomerBlend" queryout \xxxLOGShipmentTypeCustomerBlendLog_060719201440.txt -c -t" " -SDummyServer -T -e"d:SSIS Error LogsJob ExecutionBcpErrors.log" at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
The above error was captured from the System::ErrorDescription variable, by the error event handler, that was attached to the Execute Process Task. This error does not help me to debug the issue.
On running the below statement from the command prompt, i get the actual error message, which is the expected behavior -
This error message indicates that either the network path - \xxxLOG is not available for the output file creation or the file - \xxxLOGShipmentTypeCustomerBlendLog_060719201440.txt could not be created for some reason.
I 've tried to capture the error message from the StandardErrorVariable and the StandardOutputVariable properties of the ExecuteProcess Task, but in vain.
Is this a bug ? If so, is there a way to get the actual error message from the task ?
Trying to run a SSIS package from a SQL job, and the package itself has a step that calls a process task that runs a batch file. The syntax in the process task I have is the following:
executable: c:windowssystem32cmd.exe Arguments: /C e:SungardPTAencryptfile.bat Working Directory: e:sungardpta
I keep getting the following in my log:

I couldn't find an 'SQL Server Agent' Forum , so I'm posting this here...sorry.
I'm using a job to run a batch file with several robocopy commands in it. The step in the scheduled job runs a SSIS package saved in the Server Package Store. The SSIS package uses an 'Execute Process Task' control flow item. The 'Execute Process task' simply calls and execute the batch file. (WindowStyle property = Maximized) The package/job runs fine in both Visual Studio and in Management Studio. However when run from the latter (SQL Management Studio Job) the command prompt window (dos screen) doesn't open so I can't tell at what stage the batch file is in at any given time.
How can I get the window to open? By the way the window does open if I run the SSIS from Visual Studio.
Can any one give me a solution how to call exe. Also, i need to pass 1 input to that exe. I tried using Execute process task but it is not working.
My task is:
I have DFT , it generate a output file then after the output file generated i need to upload it SharePoint server. So i developed one .exe using .net, C#. ( it is running fine when cmd line)
Can a SSIS server, i.e. staging server be used to create packages that update SQL Server 2000 Analysis services objects on another server running SQL server 2000 OLAP?
It appears that the OLAP connection manager ion SSIS supports only connections (and thus updates) to 2005 OLAP objects. I work for a company that has a huge investment in a 3rd party DW that uses Analysis Services 2000. the DW tool vendor will not support an upgrade to SSAS 2005. We wish to extend the DW from other data sources. My thought was to use a staging server with SSIS, used solely as the ETL tool for all new development (thus no more DTS development), and to update the sql server 2000 operational data store on another box.
I can find no documentation on how to process sql server 2000 analysis services objects from within an SSIS package. Any ideas?
Now what i have to do is i need to make sure that ID,Name,City,County,Phone is there in flat file. if it is not there then i have to send mail to client saying that file is not valid.
Let me know how i will do it.I need to also calculate the size of flat file.
I have an execute process task set up to run ftp.exe and a script argument. The ftp.exe is referenced in the executable field without a qualified path. The package just seems to know it's there relatively. I need to change this to run a secured ftp executable that I recently installed on my pc. I put the new executable in the WindowsSystem32 folder where the old ftp.exe is stored. But when I put the new executable in the executable field, it says the 'File/Process "FTPS.exe" is not in path'. I get the same error when I fully qualify the path. Is there something I need to do with the new executable for SSIS to pick it up without having to fully qualify the path?
I'm trying to run a task that executes a script file (cmd). When i run it with in bids with my own users (domain admin) it works. When i start a cmd prompt and try to run the cmd file directly from the network location where it is it works (with my own rights and with the sql server agent user).
Now when i try to run in from smss > agent jobs > job and run job it never completes. Im not getting any error message either it just keeps on running on the step ??? It seems like a rights issue, but the account running the sql server agent is able to execute the cmd file directly from the command prompt.
There are no errors in any error logs anywhere and no error is displayed...
Ps. Im running the job step as a integration service pacgake.
A project I'm working on consists of a Main stored procedure which then runs about 30 nested procedures. The client wants to know when a certain nested SP fails, but wihtout rollbacks, as they may want to fix a data item manually (such as a missing Patient ID, that they have to call someone about). At this point, we don't want to roll back anything but halt the rest of the nested SP's and send out an email to someone that they have to check out a missing PatientID.
I'm wondering if an SSIS package would handle this better than just using a Stored Procedure. When that SP runs, it will also update a "Process tracking" table in the backend, that would update [Lastprocessran] with a number. I'm thinking that if they run the main SP again, after making a manual correction, that they could re-run the main SP, and it would bypass any step that already ran successfully based upon the [Lastprocessrun] number.
I am having a hard time setting the executable path for an Execute Process Task in SSIS. I have a variable that is initialized at package statup which holds the path to an executable in Windows. When I set the property "Executable" Path in an expression, I get a warning that the path for the executable is not set. One workaround was to try and initialize the variable with a bogus path with the hopes that the "correct" value will be written on run-time. NO LUCK. I still get the error and I cannot run the package until I put a static path.
