Programmatically Add Package Configuration - Parent Variable
Oct 1, 2007
How can I specify the target object when trying to set a parent variable package configuration programatically?
I am trying to set the Target Object to be "ParentLogID" and the Target Property to be it's "Value". I think this is how I'd add the configuration and set the source.
'Add a Configuration
Dim config1 As Configuration
config1 = package.Configurations.Add()
config1.Description = "Set ParentLogID"
config1.ConfigurationType = DTSConfigurationType.ParentVariable
config1.ConfigurationString = "User::LogID"

Hi guys,
Here's the deal. I have a child package, (say, pack01.dtsx), which uses a dtsconfig file for its connection string, which can be called from other packages, but which also can be called by itself.
However I also have another package (say, pack02.dtsx) which uses the same dtsconfig file for its connection string. It calls on pack01.dtsx.
When I use DTEXECUI and run pack01.dtsx, specifying the proper .dtsconfig file, it goes well. But when I try and run pack02.dtsx, an error occurs saying pack01.dtsx connection cannot be established.
How do I pass the connectionstring being used by pack02 to pack01, without having to remove the configuration file setting of pack01? Can a Parent Package configuration and a configuration file try and map to the same property?
Hope someone could help. Thanks.

Hi everybody,
I moved my packages to the new machine, and have problem with parent variables.
When child package tries to get parent variable value I get an error:
Information: 0x40016042 at LoopPackage: The package is attempting to configure from the parent variable "MAIN_SesId".
Warning: 0x80012028 at LoopPackage: Process configuration failed to set the destination at the package path of "Package.Variables[User::MAIN_SesId].Properties[Value]". This occurs when attempting to set the destination property or variable fails. Check the destination property or variable.
Thanks, for any information.

Hi,
I have a child package running under main parent pakage.
I am passing value of integer & string type variables from parent package to child package's variables ( as disscussed in following artical http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345179(SQL.100).aspx) ,values assigned in child package variables are futher used to build connection string for flat file connection manager in child package.
I have been using this whole SSIS package sucessfully for last three months,but suddenly the following error arises
"OnError,,,,,,,The result of the expression
Code Snippet
"@[User::StrTextFileImpDirectory] +"SomeTextStringHere"+ @[User::StrANTTextFileName] +(DT_STR,30,1252) @[User::Staging_Date_Key]+ "SomeTextStringHere"
on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property."
When I see the result of above mentioned expression through Log file than it appears that my string variable
Code Snippet"@[User::StrTextFileImpDirectory]
in child package has not been populated with any value from parent package variable, I.e it has been populated with empty string(While this is not desired value).
Same problem arises with my integer type variable
Code Snippet@[User::Staging_Date_Key]
,it has ben populated with value zero (i.e default value at design time for integer type),while this is not desired value.
Can some one guide me how to figure out the cause for error....
Is it possible that such kind of error may arise due to any change in enviornment of server....

We
have one main package from which 7 other child packages are called. We are using
ParentPackage variables to assign values for variables and database connections.
While the values from ParentPackage variable get assigned to some of the
packages properly, to others it doesn€™t assign the value.
For example:
Except for one of the packages the database connection string gets assigned
properly to all other packages.
Similarly, in another package one of the
variables doesn€™t get assigned. In other packages it is assigned properly.
We
have checked all the other property values and they are exactly the same.
We cannot make any head or tail of this erratic behavior.
Please Help.

Hi,
I've found this problem that when I change settings in my configuration file it does not automatically apply to all child packages which uses the same configuration file if run from a job in SQL Server Agent. I need to open the package and save it again from BIDS. I use one "load group" package to execute all other packages.
Is there a way from the job configuration to set a setting so the package allways will have the newest configuration?
Regards
Simon

I have noticed an issue with parent package variables. I have a package with multiple parent package variables defined, call them X, Y, and Z. I also have a parent package that calls this other package. The parent package has variable definitions for X and Z. It seems that the value for X will be passed along, and Y will give a warning since there is no variable of that name in the parent. The issue is that Z will not be passed along. It seems like the parent package configuration process stops after it encounters one missing variable.
Is this a know issue? Is it by design?

I have a parent package that calls a child package, when I run the parent package the child package picks up a variable value from the parent in a script task and runs fine, the problem I'm facing is when I run just the child package, the script task fails because it doesn't know about the parent variable. The dilemma I'm facing is in my child script task, if I add the parent variable to the ReadOnlyVariables list then the task fails because the parent variable doesn't exist when I just run the child. If I don't add the parent variable to the ReadOnlyVariabls list then if I try to use it then the task fails saying that the variable doesn't exist in the variables collection.
Is there a way to check for the existence of the parent variable, so when I just run the child package I don't get an error and I don't have to change my task every time I choose to run the child package only vs running the parent/child?
Thanks.

Hi
I have having trouble getting my hands around how to retrieve variables from a parent package. I read about the Environment variables and Configuration File at the parent package level and the Parent Package variable at the child level.
Here are my questions:
1. Can you only store/retrieve 1 variable in a config file at a time?
2. Does the child package have to define the variables and if so, do they have to be the same names as the parent package?
This seems so more more complex then the DTS2000 way of passing variables to and from packages.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Gordon Radley

I've created an SSIS package that uses parent package variables at several steps in the data flow. However, those parent package variables are only visible during runtime, making debugging the package practically impossible. Let me give you a simplified example:
In the parent package, I have a string variable named "sqlLookup" that looks like this:
"SELECT * from tblTest WHERE city = " + @city
Also in the parent package is a variable named "city" which I can set to the name of the city that I want to query on. This dynamically updates the sqlLookup variable, which is being evaluated as an expression.
In the child package, I have an OLE DB Source control which is using the "sqlLookup" variable for its query. I have set up my parent package variable configuration, and it works when I run the package.
The problem is this...when I open the child package, I get an error on the OLE DB Source control using the parent package variable, "Command text was not set for the command object". Presumably, this is because the parent package variable is only available during run-time, and not at design time. And, if metadata changes (which it has), I can't get into the OLE DB Source control to edit it, because it throws the error.
So, my question is this: are there any workarounds for this problem? Is there a better way to do this? This seems like such an obvious problem that I'm wondering if I either missed a step somewhere, or if I'm just doing it the wrong way.
Thanks!

Has someone managed to pass successfully a variable from a parent package to a child package? I€™ve tried a zillion permutations and I can€™t get it to work. The strange thing was that I was able to successfully do this with pre-RTM builds. Basically, what I am trying to do is:
The parent package has a variable, e.g. ExecutionID which I set using a script to System::ExecutionInstanceGUID. I verified that the variable is set correctly by dumping it to a SQL Server table.
I created a child package variable with the same name.
In the child package, I€™ve created a parent package configuration that points to the ExecutionID variable.
I am trying to read the variable in a Derived Column Task in which I have a column linked to @ExecutionID.
This doesn€™t work. Step-by-step instructions from someone who managed to concur this will be greatly appreciated.
Oh, I didn€™t have any luck hitting a breakpoint in a script task inside a child package with both in and out of process execution also.

Hi,
I having a problem getting the child package variable values into a parent package. Here is the scenario;
I have parent package(Master) calling two child packages using execute package task. I have no problem to pass variable values from the parent to child using the parent configuration but not able to get the variable values from the child to parent. I am setting the package status in each child package based on certain conditions and determine the final status in a parent based on child package variable statuses. Does any body have any idea? I will appreciate your thoughts.Thanks..Mako

Hi,
I have issues with the Connection Manager in the SSIS package when using package configs thru environment variable.
Here goes..
SSIS package1:
Connections used: devcon1, devcon2 - Dev Env and testcon1,testcon2 - Test Env. Now using all four. Ideally either devcons or testcons should reside at a time.
Environment variable:
Pckg_config = <location of config file which has testcon1 and testcon2>
I need to use only devcon1 and devcon2 in Dev env. In test i need to use only testcon1 and testcon2
Hence i set the values of devcons in devEnv.dtsconfig and testcons in testEnv.dtsconfig
Now i remove both testcons from ssis package. If i try to run the Test Env and my testcons which are marked in testenv.dtsconfig are not found as connections in ssis package then the ssis gives error wanting for those connections.
SSIS maintains the connections in the Connection Manager per package. Although internally it is a pool of connections.
Ideally i should be able to play around with the connection at run time. My package now works, if it is deployed with all the devcons and testcons together. However, ideally it should be either devcons or testcons. I am trying to be more explicable to reach to the masses here.
Am i doing something wrong? All your efforts in solving this puzzle will be greatly appreciated. Please participate.
Thanx,Tushar

We are using Package configuration with environment variables. The problem we are having that if we try to open project from other PC (PC 2) it gives the error:
Error 1 Error loading F0005.dtsx: Failed to decrypt protected XML node "DTS:Password" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state.". You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available. z:visual studio 2005projectssales data martextract to staging areaF0005.dtsx 1 1
We are using environment variable named DWConfig and have configured correct path in each PC. If we edit package configuration in PC 2 and go thru the same procedures without any amendments the errors is removed for that PC and if, again we OPEN that project in PC 1 it gives same error and if we go thru package configuration wizard again error is removed.
Can any one tell me is there any solution of that problem?
Note: Our project is saved on server (neither PC 1 nor PC 2)
regards,
Anas.

Okay - this one is driving me batty.
I have a package that uses an environment variable package configuration of value X for a connection string. I close BIDS. I change the value of the environment variable to value Y. I open BIDS and the package, and the value of my connection string is Y. I save my package with the new configuration. if I look at the dtsx file, I see connection string with value Y. All as expected.
I move the package to my server (I've tried Import package from SSMS, using the deployment manifest, and save copy as). On the server, the environment variable is set to value Y. If I run the package or export it; however, the value of my connection string is X!
Does anyone have any suggestions of things to try or some reason that this is not working?
Thanks,
Jessica

Hello All -
Have you ever seen the error message below?
Description: The package path referenced an object that cannot be found: "Package.Variables[User::<variable_name>].Properties[Value]". This occurs when an attempt is made to resolve a package path to an object that cannot be found. End Warning Could not load package "<package_name>" because of error 0xC0010014.
Basically, I create a package variable under my User Namespace and this variable will tell what server the SSIS is running at. We first create a system variable locally and the SQL Server will have a variable with exactly the same name so that the server name will be evaluated through the package variable/package configurations when the SSIS is executing from a SQL Server job.
This way we do not hard code the server name... We always succeeded on doing that with DTS as well as SSIS packages but just now my package is running into this issue...
Since I did not change ANYTHING in the package, I am guessing this is not programming related and that something was changed in the server. However, the DBA was helpless over here and I have no clue of what this error means.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Gabriel.

Hi All,
I though i'd been going about setting up my SSIS package to run via a SQL job in the correct way. It would appear however that is not the case.
I have 4 SSIS packages, one of which is the parent package which calls the other three in sequence. I want to run this from a SQL job so that it calls the parent package and it deals with the others. There are connection managers in the package which use a SQL account to access the relevant databases. In addition i have encrypted the package.
I have set up a configuration file which holds the password package and the BillingSystem connection manager password. This file is re used by each package.
After deployment i have set up the SQL agent job to run the parent package. The job returns an error. Looking at the SSIS logging it appears that it completes the SQL task in the parent package and then fails when trying to launch each of the sub packages with an error stating that the SQL account used in the connection manager login failed. It looks as though the sub packages are not getting the password value from the configuration file and this is causing the failure. I though that each package would automatically pick up the config file as it has been setup to do. I have specified the configuration file in the SQL job but this appears to make no difference. Running the integrations seperately i have to add the configuration file in manually to the Run Package dialog box before they will work. This is not saved for the next run.
Can anyone help me get around this problem as i think i have the wrong idea as to how it is supposed to work.
Cheers,
Grant

Hi,
I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.
I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.
if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.
To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".
My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.

hi,
I am interested in Passing value from a child Package variable to the Parent package that calls it in ssis.
I am able to call the Child package using the execute package task and use Configurations to pass values from the parent variable to the child, but I am not able to pass the value from the child to the parent.
I have a variable called datasetId in both the parent and child. it gets computed in the child and needs to be passed to the parent...
Any suggestions?

Hello All,
I have a SSIS Package with a "Execute Package Task" to call a child package. I am trying to have the master/parent package complete its execution regardless the outcome (failure or success) of the child package. The overall structure of the master package is:
1. Perform Pre-load tasks (stored procedure).
2. Execute Package Task (call child package)
3. Perform Post-load Tasks (stored procedure)
I have try everything and cannot get the results that I want... I have tried the combination of "failparentonfailure", "forceexecutionvalue", etc. The master package stops at childs failure. I would like to resume to completion
Any ideas out there?

I have two SSIS packages in a project, one calling the other. The parent package works fine in my local mechine. After they are deployed to the production, I schedeul jobs to run the packages in the SqlServer. The child package works fine if I run it alone, but the parent package could not find its child package if I run the parent package . As I checked, all xml config files and the connection string pointing to the child package were set correctly. It seems the parent package did not use the xml config file. Can someone help me?

I have a parent package which calls a number of child packages. Occasionally, I have one child package which starts up and appears to finish but the parent package never gets notification that the child has finished. If I view this in Management Studio's in Integration Services, I can view the packages that are running and only the parent package is running. Because it never gets control back, the next child package will never get started and the parent package will continue to run and never finish.
Any idea what could be happening??

Hello All,
I have a Master Package which calls a group of other packages out on the SSIS Package Store using parent / child and a number of variables. These seem to work when passing various audit information (audit key, record counts, etc) but when I try to pass a variable for the connection string and assign it via an expression to the connection manager, I get the Master Package writing to the correct database and the children package writing to their "default" database which is supplied as the default value in the variables which should be populated by the parent task.
i.e., I end up with my master package audit information in database a and child package audit and transactions in database b, even though the packages associated with these transactions are supposed to be reading the connection string from a parent variable. Any clues or suggestions?
Edit: It is still passing along the correct parent audit information and record counts, it's just not connecting to the correct database by the variables holding the connect string
Thanks for your time.

I run into some issues and really need some expert help here.
Here is the problem. I have two packages (parent.dtsx and child.dtsx). Both package have its own configuration file (parent.dtsConfig and child.dtsConfig). The file Child.dtsConfig contains a variable (i.e. "X") that is to be used by Child.dtsx.
Inside parent.dtsx. there is a package-task that calls into Child.dtsx. It worked perfectly well if I run parent.dtsx using Dtexec or from inside SSIS's IDE.
Now I want to programmably call "parent.dtsx" from my C# code. I loaded package using "app.LoadPackage"... Inside C# code, I want to reconfigure Child-package's variable ("X"). I then loaded in "Child.dtsx". However when I run "parent.dtsx" and child.dtsx still loads the original value for "X". The reconfigured value for "X" is not updated.
Please help on how to get around this issue.
Thanks.

Hello,
I'm having problem to pass variable from a package to a another one.
I having 2 packages: the parent (parent.dtsx) use a Execute Package Task to execute the child package (child.dtsx).
In the parent package, I have a variable named var1 (data type String) with value=test
In my child package, I having a script task using the variable var1 to make a MsgBox (var1 is in readonly in the script):
MsgBox(CStr(Dts.Variables("var1").Value))
In this case, I having an error (cause the variable may no exist) but i can see the value of the variable in the MessageBox and the execute package task fail because of this error.
After I tried this solution: (Found in this Forum)
In the child package, I create the variable var1 (same type, no value). Then in the control flow, I right click on the background and select "package configurations".
I enable package configurations.
Then I add a new one. I change the configuration type to "parent package variable."
Then, in the specify configuration settings entry, I enter the name of the variable in the parent package.
On the following screen, I select the "value" property of the variable created in this package (Child package). At last, I give the configuration a name and hit finish.
If I execute my parent package, the result is no value in the MessageBox.
I also tried the same thing (with the package configuration) to pass a a variable with the connection string from a package to the connection of an another one (I set the connection string of the connection) and it doesn't work.
What did I miss ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
When I try to execute a Integration Services with parent variables, always appears this warning for each parent variable:
Configuration from a parent variable "%1!s!" did not occur because there was no parent variable collection.
The IS is executed correctly, but we don't know the reason why this warning appear, if the value is correctly assigned.
