Reference Documentation On VBA In Relation To SSIS
Feb 21, 2006
Hi, I have heard alot of people talk about using C# for scripting withing SSIS and the answer to that question is no apparently. You can only use VBA but there is no extensive or in my respect any documentation as reference for using VBA in SSIS. I am new to VBA because i used to use jscipt and vbscript in early version of sql server. But in order to learn using VBA, I need to learn it in which there seems to be no reference in relation to SSIS. All the VBA references you find are in relation to MS Office. Is there anything i am missing or can someone show me where to go as my reference for VBA in SSIS. Its bad enough to change the scripting language but worse not to provide any reference materials for uses to get up to speed.
According to the book I am reading at the moment, there's supposed to be an SSIS documentation that ships with the product. I had the software installed by the IT guys but nothing with it apart from the books on line.
Does any one know of specific documentation on this?
i'm looking for a good method in order to document my ssis packages. i already tried this ssis documenter http://www.ssisdocumenter.com/ but was not very satisfied with it. what are your experiences with documenting ssis packages?
I have SSIS packages with the usual: source, destination, and mappings between the two. How can I export these mappings to, say, Excel / Word for documentation purposes?
I am sure this questions have been asked  but i was not able to find a useful information.Â
1. I am looking for a SSIS Standards document or source. A document developer can use for developing ssis package. This should include how to name each container, task , and how to organize things. Basics of SSIS. Is there some kind of source where i can find this information . We are starting out to migrate from informatica to SSIS but before we do that we would like to put standards in place so all SSIS development is consistent.
2. SSIS project documentation template that we can use to document each project. Â Is there anything out there that we can follow to document each of our project.Â
I have a .NET assembly that I need to reference and use within my SSIS script task. The only way I can acheive this is to strongly name my assembly and put it in the GAC. This is not possible as my assembly is already in production and uses other 3rd party assemblies that would also need to be registered in the GAC. As a workaround, I have created a .Net console application that references my assembly, that call from a SSIS Process Task. Does anyone know of another way I could use my .NET assembly within my SSIS package? Any help appreciated. Regards, Paul.
I never had to use DTS in MSSQL 2000 but I'm finding a need to use SSIS quite a bit in a new position. I know this is subjective, but I looking for suggestions for a reference book with good examples and tutorials.
I cannot add the reference to the following: "Imports Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient" in SSIS script task. All the objects that i declared become underlined because there is no reference to the above library. When i go in SSIS script task and open the code to add the reference it does not the list the above library. I am able to add reference in Visualstudio but not in SSIS.
Please adivse, it is very critical and urgent for my task
Consider the Conditional Split task. I can use a C-like language to create statements such as
Ltrim ([Col1] =€?A€?) || Ltrim([Col1] =€?B€?)
This sure ain€™t VB-like and the list of functions in the upper right-hand pane of the task (€œexpression editor€?) does not help me construct such statements.
Where is the reference manual describing this language?
TIA,
Barkingdog
P.S. I have found fragments in BOL but the info does not seem complete and the BOL topic fragmentation impedes learning.
P.P.S. Why MS uses this language instead of VB.NET, which they use in their Script tasks, is beyond me.
We are getting prepared to move from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. We have a lot of DTS's that will need to be converted to SSIS. Can you recommend a really good reference book or text book on SSIS that will help us out both with DTS conversions as well as SSIS development in general.
Is it possible to do this under SSIS 2005? How? I see I can add a reference to system.web.services.dll.. but then what?
The web service was developed in vb.net/vs.net 2005 and I have no problem adding and consuming it from a web page developed using vs.net 2005 - asp.net/vb.net.
OK, so I have an SSIS package that I build using the "test" database as the destination. Now I want to execute it using another database as the destination. This is basically for an installation script where the source is always the same, an access database.
Which works (sort of). It does try to import the data into "Test2DB", but what happens is all of the destination tables in the dtsx package have names like [test1db].[dbo].[tablename]
So my question is: is there a way to remove the databasename reference in the table names for all 195 tables in my database without doing it manually?
I am using vs 2010 to write my dtsx import scripts.I use a script component as a source to create a flat file destination file.Everything have been working fine,but then my development machine crashed and we have to install everything again.Now when i use the execute package utility to test my scripts i get the following error:
Error system.NullReferenceException: Object refrence not set to an instance reference.
In PreExecute section TextReader = new system.io.streamreader(" file name") In the CreateNewOutputRows: dim nextLine as string nextLine = textReader.ReadLine
[code]...
is there something which i did not install or what can be the error?
In visual studio 2005, I create a new Integration Services Project. It tries to create the first package by default "Package.dtsx". The "Package.dtsx[Design]" tab displays
Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
I try to create new SSIS package or edit an existing one (from tutorial), I get the same error in the SSIS graphical user interface tab.
I've created my own posting for this. The original post was here, I apologize: http://forums.microsoft.com/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2906512&SiteID=1
According to the poster it's not possible. But there has to be some way to do it? Reflection (don't know how)?
I need to get a reference to the task host in an SSIS Task component.
Basically the scenario is this:
I have a custom task I have created. However I would like to validate that the ExecValueVariable is infact a string variable during the validate event of the task. I know how to verify its a string variable. But I can't figure out how to read what the user selected (such as User::Myvariable). The only way I've been able to figure out how to do it, but it only works if you open my custom task UI.
What I did is this:
I've implemented IDtsTaskUI and during the initialize section I wrote:
Sub Initialize(ByVal taskHost As TaskHost, ByVal serviceProvider As IServiceProvider) Implements IDtsTaskUI.Initialize ' Store the TaskHost of the task. Me.taskHostValue = taskHost Dim myTask As CustomTask= CType(taskHost.InnerObject, CustomTask) myTask.myTaskHost = taskHost End Sub
My Task is named: CustomTask. I have a public variable in my task as follows:
Public NotInheritable Class CustomTask Inherits Task Implements IDTSComponentPersist Public myTaskHost As TaskHost = Nothing
Therefore I pass back the taskhost value to the CustomTask class, and voila I have it.
Problem is, this only works if the custom task calls the initialize method, and this only happens when you open the custom editor.
I then do the validation in my CustomTask class and it works fine, but myTaskHost is null/nothing until you actually open the custom task UI

Hello,I'm relative new to sql and databases and the last few weeks I learnedmyself a lot. I'm trying to make a hotel reservation application.I have a database with a table Booking, a table Room, a tableRoomsPerBooking. So a booking contains date/time etc and a fieldRoomsPerBookingID. The table RoomsPerBooking contains number ofpersons, unitprice etc. and a field ID and a field RoomID. The tableRoom contains data like name, notes etc.now i have two questions:First about relations:The table Booking has relationship: PK table RoomsPerBooking - ID <-->FK table Booking - RoomsPerBookingID.The table RoomsPerBookingID has relationship: PK table Room - ID <-->FK table RoomsPerBooking - RoomIDIs this relationset good for my purpose? I think it is, but I am notsure.The second question is:How do I get available rooms per nightI came this far.... what are the "some statements"?CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetAvailableRooms(@BeginDate DATETIME,@EndDate DATETIME)ASSELECT Room.*FROM RoomWHERE Room.ID NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT room.IDFROM Room room JOIN RoomsPerBooking roomsPerBookingON room.ID = roomsPerBooking.RoomID--Some statements--WHERE booking.FromDate <= @EndDateAND booking.ToDate >= @BeginDate)GO

When we have Table1 and Table2, then we link both tables using a third table Table3 that relates n records in Table1 to n records in table2, how do we call Table3? There is a name in dataBase modeling for that, right?
hi, If I want to make one to many relationship, I put the pk of the parent as a fk in the child . like this customer table (cust_id, fname,lname) customer_order table(order_id,cust_id,qty,price)
I do understant this, but what about look up table, can I consider cust_id inthe customer_order table as a lookup field to the customer table?
I have about six different entities that can have zero or more note entities associated with them. The easy way to do this is obviously to have a different "note" table for each of the entities i.e. WorkItemNote, CustomerNote etc.. But I would much rather have a single "note" table since they would all be identical, so I came up with this design:
CREATE TABLE WorkItem ( WorkItemGuid uniqueidentifier PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT (newid()), -- rest of table declaration removed for bravity )
CREATE TABLE Customer ( CustomerGuid uniqueidentifier PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT (newid()), -- rest of table declaration removed for bravity )
CREATE TABLE Note ( NoteId int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, ReferenceGuid uniqueidentifier NOT NULL, Text ntext NOT NULL, -- rest of table declaration removed for bravity )
This way I can get notes associated with a given entity, either Customer or WorkItem, by just selecting from the Note table with its WorkItemGuid or CustomerGuid.
My question is: Is this the best approach to what I am trying to accomplish?
(ps: Apologies if "many to one" is not the right terminology)
This is the stored procedure which I'm using. Don't get any syntax error, only not the correct output.
create procedure sp_Select_log_By_ProfileId @ProfileId int as select l.LogId, l.LogDescription, l.CreatedOn, l.LogAuthorId from Logs l inner join ProfileLogs pl on pl.LogId = l.LogId where pl.ProfileId = @ProfileId;
hi, I got confused for a moment about creating data structure for UMLcomposition (strong aggregation) relation one-to-many.I used Rose/DataModeler to do so.[Parent] <filled_diamond>-------- [Child]I got P/FK (primary key of my component is foreign key of it's container) inmy child table:Parent: PK Parent_IDChild: P/FK Parent_IDthat way I found out I got relation 1:1, I'm still not sure how to createdata structure realizing compositiona one-to-many.
Hi All, I have a little problem and i hope u will help me. Well, my problem is, i want to make a relation between 2 tables which r not in the same databse. Database D1 >>> Table T1 Database D2 >>> Table T2
So i want something like this: Table T1: ID >>> PK
Table T2: ID >>> PK Table1ID >>> FK from Table T1
so, i will have a relation between the 2 tables. Thanks in Advance,
there is two similar fields (Size) with the same datatype, I want to make a relation in a way if I change the value in (TableX.Size) the same value will be applied to (TableY.Size).
