Propery Expressions: Values Not Updated
Sep 20, 2006
I see some strange behavior when running a package using the SQL Server Agent. The package I run calls a number of child packages, in which I use property expressions to set - among other things - the path to text files I read into a database.
The property expressions are in the form: @[User::ThePath] + "\TheFile.txt". The variable ThePath is read from an XML configuration file at runtime from the "master" package and passed on to the child packages using a parent package variable configuration.
My problem is this: When the package is executed by the SQL Server Agent, the properties for the path of the text files are not updated, and the package fails, as it cannot locate the files. When using DTExecUI to execute the same package, everything runs fine.
Could it be a permissions issue? I don't think so, as the SQL Server Agent runs under the same account as I am logged in when executing with DTExecUI.
Anyone?

I have written a few custom tasks and I've noticed that they don't behave exactly like the built-in MS tasks when in design mode. Specifically, they don't update themselves with the values of expressions that have been assigned to their custom properties.
Here's an example. My task exposes a property called JobNumber. Let's say I make a variable called @[User::JobNumber], give it a value, and assign the variable as an expression to the JobNumber property. When I look at the properties in either the property window or my custom UI editor, the value assigned to the variable never shows up in the property itself. If, on the other hand, I were to assign a variable to the ServerName property of an OLEDB connection manager, the next time that task validates itself I will see the value of my variable in the ServerName property.
Everything works fine at run-time; it's just design-time that the behavior is undesirable.
I'm sure this is because I need to be doing something myself, but the question is what, and when?

Is it not possible for expressions to work with variables that contain more than 4000 characters? I've heard of a limitation of expressions and 4000 characters, but I thought this meant that the expression itself cannot be more than 4000 characters -- not that the expression cannot work with values of more than 4000 characters.
For example, I have a two variables:
Test1 (type = String):
Value = [Some really long string whose length is > 4000 characters]
Test2 (type = String, EvaluateAsExpression = True):
Expression = "-" + @[User::Test1] + "-"
Test2 throws the following error:
The variable User::Test1 contains a string that exceeds the maximum allowed length of 4000 characters.
Reading the variable "User::Test1" failed with error code 0xC0047100.
Why is there such a limitation when working with string values? This seems really restricting. Are there any possible workarounds?
Thanks in advance.

I may be looking too hard for this but I can't find a way around it.
I have an Expression and in that expression, I want to access a property on the same object (it would be great to get the properties of other objects as well).
Example: I have a flat file connection where I defined the name of the flat file in my ConnectionString. I also have a variable that I have it linked to my dtsConfig which points to the proper folder name at run time.
How can I create an expression similar to this:
@[User::strFolder] + @[Connectionstring]
where @[User::strFolder] is my variable and points to the correct folder for the given server the package is running on and @[Conenctionstring] is my made up name to access the VALUE of the Connectionstring that I have for this flat file.
So if I have the following:
in my connectionstring property: flatfile.txt
in my strFolder derived from dtsConfig at runtime: E:etl_data
I would like my final connectionstring to look as follow:
E:etl_dataflatfile.txt
So far I know I can do it with two variables but it would be great if I could reuse the property values of the current object for my expressions or any other object.
Perhaps this value is available thru the script where I can access "any" property in my dtsx and store it into another variable and then use it. This option at least allows me to reuse code instead of hardcoding table name (connectionstring) into my variables.
Did I make this too difficult and there is a simple way to access an object's property inside the expression builder?
Thanks

I have a table with constantly changing data - stock.
I want to start monitoring the value of stock at the end of each month. I can do this with a simple query, export the results to Excel and store on the network.
My question is:
Are there better ways to do this with SQL Server?
I thought of a monthly "job" that does the query and outputs to a file. (Need to be able to look at each month separately though for trend monitoring.)
Then wondered, if I should have an extra table to store the data and write queries on that in the future?

Hi SQL fans,I realized that I often encounter the same situation in a relationdatabase context, where I really don't know what to do. Here is anexample, where I have 2 tables as follow:__________________________________________ | PortfolioTitle|| Portfolio |+----------------------------------------++-----------------------------+ | tfolio_id (int)|| folio_id (int) |<<-PK----FK--| tfolio_idfolio (int)|| folio_name (varchar) | | tfolio_idtitle (int)|--FK----PK->>[ Titles]+-----------------------------+ | tfolio_weight(decimal(6,5)) |+-----------------------------------------+Note that I also have a "Titles" tables (hence the tfolio_idtitlelink).My problem is : When I update a portfolio, I must update all theassociated titles in it. That means that titles can be either removedfrom the portfolio (a folio does not support the title anymore), addedto it (a new title is supported by the folio) or simply updated (atitle stays in the portfolio, but has its weight changed)For example, if the portfolio #2 would contain :[ PortfolioTitle ]id | idFolio | idTitre | poids1 2 1 102 2 2 203 2 3 30and I must update the PortfolioTitle based on these values :idFolio | idTitre | poids2 2 202 3 352 4 40then I should1 ) remove the title #1 from the folio by deleting its entry in thePortfolioTitle table2 ) update the title #2 (weight from 30 to 35)3 ) add the title #4 to the folioFor now, the only way I've found to do this is delete all the entriesof the related folio (e.g.: DELETE TitrePortefeuille WHERE idFolio =2), and then insert new values for each entry based on the new givenvalues.Is there a way to better manage this by detecting which value has to beinserted/updated/deleted?And this applies to many situation :(If you need other examples, I can give you.thanks a lot!ibiza

Hi,I want to save the last modification date when the row is updated. I have a column called "LastModification" in the table, every time the row is update I want to set the value of this column to the current date. So far all I know is that I need to use a trigger and the GetDate() function, but could any body help me with how to set the value of the column to getdate()? thanks for your help.

When creating expressions we have access to a list of functions. It is my understanding that while these functions seem to have the same names and parameters as SQL functions, they are not so. They are implemented in the package libraries themselves. It is also my understanding that this function library cannot be extended to add new ones.
Am I correct? If so... why not?
Leaving alone the fact that they follow the same screwy names as SQL (instead of .NET on which SSIS is built on) and what seems to be a limited library (i.e. You have YEAR(), MONTH(), DAY() functions but no HOUR(), MINUTE(), or SEC() functions -- instead you have to use DATEPART())
I mean honestly... a common expression for most people is using date and times for folder and filenames... So instead of a simple .NET type expression of DateTime.ToString("yyyyMMdd") or Format(DateTime.Now, "yyyyMMdd_hhmmss") I end up with the very complex:
(DT_STR, 4, 1252) YEAR( GETDATE() ) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) MONTH( GETDATE() ), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DAY( GETDATE() ), 2) + "_" + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("hour", GetDate()), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("minute", GetDate()), 2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DATEPART("second", GetDate()), 2)
Personally I find myself using Script Tasks and Variables to "build" my expressions and just use Expressions to set the property to the variable. (Which I think may defeat the full purpose of expressions.)
Any thoughts?

Hello all,
I have come across a road block once again and it is probably something fairly easy to do. I have 3 queries that give counts with different criteria. They are:
SELECT building, COUNT(asmt_number) AS Cnt FROM dbo.mr_gb_asmt WHERE (school_year = 2008) AND (due_date <= CONVERT (DATETIME, '2007-10-26 00:00:00', 102)) AND (publish_scores = 'N') GROUP BY building ORDER BY building SELECT building, COUNT(asmt_number) AS Cnt FROM dbo.mr_gb_asmt WHERE (school_year = 2008) AND (due_date <= CONVERT (DATETIME, '2007-10-26 00:00:00', 102)) GROUP BY building ORDER BY building SELECT building, COUNT(asmt_number) AS Cnt FROM dbo.mr_gb_asmt WHERE (school_year = 2008) AND (due_date <= CONVERT (DATETIME, '2007-10-26 00:00:00', 102)) AND (publish_asmt = 'N') GROUP BY building ORDER BY building
My question is how can I combine these three queries into one so that I only get one record set?
Thanks for all the help!

Hi, the Microsoft SQL Server version is 2000
Basically I want use a basic regular expression but can't seem to get the syntax right.
i want to compare ID_short = ID_Long
ID_short is a truncated version of ID_Long, and I want to search on the beginning only (hence I can't use the 'LIKE' comparative on it's own).
What is the syntax to use Reg Expressions (or if anyone knows a non RegExp way of searching the beginning please let me know).
Thanks

I'm building SSIS packages through code and I would like to set the properties of some custom tasks (not data flow tasks) to expressions. I've done some searches but turned up nothing. This is the only thing I'm hitting a brick wall on at the moment; Books Online has been excellent in detailing how to create packages via code up to this point.
For the sake of argument, let's say I want to set the SqlStatementSource property of an Execute SQL task to this value:
"INSERT INTO [SomeTable] VALUES (NEWID(), '" + @[User:omeStringVariable] + "')"
What would the code look like?

Hey everyone,
I know that you can make an expression that will make it one color if a certain condition is met and a different one if it is not but is there anyway to make it so that if a number is less than another it's one color, if it's greater it's a different color and if they're equal it's a third color? Thanks for the help.

end AS price_top_number,
before it goes to the destination column?!

I have a unusual problem, well it is unusual becaue i cannot understand it.
I am retrieving the following data, Revenue, Sales, Commission, and calculating Commission Rate in the report itself.
I got warnings that a textbox that was attempting to calculate the Commission Rate was trying to divide by zero.
When I analysed the data, I realised that indeed there were instances when Revenue was 0.00 and therefore when calculating the commission rate, commission/revenue it returned an error.
I then thought I'd do the following in the expression field
=iif((Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00), "Zero", (Fields!Commission.ValueGbp/Fields!RevenueGbp.Value))
However this does not work. However if i tried the following Boolean query
=iif((Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00), "Zero", Fields!CommissionGbp.Value)
it does work. In fact if I use any other identifier or use two field thats add, subtract or multiplied with each other it will work. The problem only arises is when I decide to divide two fields together.
Strangely if the condition is satisfied - [Fields!RevenueGbp.Value = 0.00] - it will still try to work out the division even though it should just return Zero!
Anyone help?

I need to create a While Loop with the FOR LOOP task.
According to my SSIS book, "to set up a While Loop in the For Loop, simply create an expression that tests a variable that can be modified by some workflow either inside or outside the For Loop"
What I want to do is, put an FTP task (whose job it is to receive a file) inside the For Loop.
I want the control flow to go like:
FOR LOOP --> FTP task --> file received? --> NO --> set variable 0 --> FOR LOOP --> check for variable --> is variable 1? --> NO --> FOR LOOP --> FTP task
and so on, until the variable is set to 1, indicating the successful transfer of the file
According to my book, this can be done simply with the use of expressions.
My question is, how do I write the expressions, both for the FTP task (which will set the variable to 0 or 1), and then the expression for the For Loop, which will evaluate the variable in its expression?
So, seems like I need to write 2 expressions, but not sure how.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I have a table with about 20,000 records that have a date field, stored as a datetime in the database like '8/28/2006 8:42:14 AM'. The dates range from March 2004 to current. What I would like to do is retrieve the dates in that format (month year) and put them in a dropdown. I have this so far:SELECT DISTINCT DATEPART(month, dte_date) AS Expr1, DATEPART(yyyy, dte_date) AS Expr2 FROM myTable ORDER BY DATEPART(yyyy, dte_date), DATEPART(month, dte_date)And the query returns the information that I want, but I can only bind one field to the dropdown. I was thinking that if I return the results a single expression (concantenate?) then I could bind that to the dropdown. I'm not sure as how to go about this. Also, the month returned is numeric and I would rather have the name of the month returned (like "July" instead of "7"). Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me.

I'm in the process of building a site and converting views/tables/queries from an Access database to SQL. I've done this quite a few times, and never had any significant issues I couldn't figure out on my own.
In Enterprise Manager, I've created a view and in the query, I need to create an alias that is similar to below:
SELECT ((monthmult) + ((b2avg*15)-(av2*10)) + (lp1+lp2) + ((b1avg*30)-(av1*20))) as PIndexValue
which is how the formula reads in the Access view.
However, when I got to run the query, SQL strips out all of the parentheses and calculates the value in left to right order:
(monthmult + b2avg*15-av2*10 + lp1+lp2 + b1avg*30-av1*20) as PIndexValue
Which gives me an incorrect value.
Does anyone know why this is happening, or am I just unaware of the right way of doing it?
Thank you,
Derrick

I tried using dtsconfig and setting EvaluateAsExpression with value 1( true ) and Expression UPPER[Column 2] but i get an error saying that Column 2 is not a variable.
There is a way to do it?
I don't know if i explained the problem well.
Thanks in advance
