Reference To Preceeding Component From Custom Dataflow Transformation Component
Mar 30, 2006
I am writing a custom dataflow transformation component and I need to get the name of the preceeding component.
I have been trying to find a way to get a reference to the Package object, MainPipe object or IDTSPath90 object (connecting to the IDTSInput90 of my component) from my component because I think from there I can get to the information I want.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA . . . Ed

This is trivial I'm sure but I'll be dogged if I can find someone who mentions how to do it. I am attempting to develop a Data Flow Transformation that appends a new column (a string value) into the current stream.
I have found plenty of references on how to replace an existing column but I'd really like to just add my new column in there. It doesn't need to be configurable, it can be a static column name. I'll take a solution that allows the column name to be set at design time, don't get me wrong but the magic I'm looking for is how to implement a new column in a stream.
Yes, I am well aware of the derived column task but I will be replacing a few hundred instances and I'd much rather just drag an item onto the designer than to drag a derived column, double click it, type in the column name, set the expression and then set the datatype, etc.
Anyone spare a moment to enlighten me?

I have a custom component that takes in unicode stream and converts it to ascii text. However I would like to make my default string length and code page editable in the standard GUI editor. Right now I can set the default to 1000 characters, but when I try to change it, it says "Property value is not valid"
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
I've created a stand alone custom dataflow component in VB and I need to set up the connection to the Input and Output components and instantiate it. The only way I've seen this done is to create an entire package and Task then use the TaskHost wrapper object to instantiate the Mainpipe (IDTSPipline90 interface) so that you can create the IDTSPath90 interface and setup the connection to the input and output components...
After all that, all that I would like to know is whether it is possible to instantiate the mainpipe interface without creating a package programmatically? I've seen something Darren Green put in an answer to a thread, about accessing the Mainpipe interface in the UI, to the effect that you can access it through IServiceProvider using the interface IDTSPipelineEnvironmentService - I think that's it... But I'd like to know if there is a more straightforward route to instantiating and accessing the Task or data flow directly?
Thanks in advance,
Will.

I've been trying to figure this out on my own for pretty much all of today, and part of last week. I've downloaded samples, searched this forum, blogs, etc. So I figured I would post, since it's the end of the day, and I'm not much further along.
I'm working on a custom transformation component, whose main function is to use SQL encryption/decryption to encrypt/decrypt data from the input columns, into the output columns. The component needs two strings, a key name and a certificate name, as well as the connection manager it should use to connect to SQL which will do the encryption/decryption.
Here's where I'm stuck:
1) How can I provide the key/certificate names via properties? What I'm expecting/looking for is a way to add these two properties at the component-level, which would show up under the "Custom Properties" section of the properties pane (currently, this only has one property, "UserComponentTypeName"). These key/certificate values will be used for all input columns.
2) How do I access the connection managers from within the component? What is the best way to go about using a connection manager from within my component to connect to SQL and perform the encryption/decryption? In a custom task, this was fairly simple, but it seems that same concept won't work on a transformation component.
3) Is there a better way to go about accomplishing this (column encryption via SQL from within SSIS)? Am I going about this all wrong?
As I said, I've searched for direction, but there seems to be next to nothing in the regards of a good reference for creating custom transformation components. I've looked at two MS samples, but can't seem to make any sense out of them.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have implemented a custom source component that can be used as the data source in the Data Flow task.
I have also created a custom UI for this component by using the IDtsComponentUI .
But my component does not have the capability of setting the custom properties via the DTS Variables using the Expression Builder.
I have looked around for samples on how to do this, but I can only find samples of how to do this for custom Control Tasks, i.e. IDtsTaskUI.
My question is, How can implement the Expression Builder in my custom Source component + custom Source UI. Or do you know of any samples which I can look at.
Thank you,
Jameel.

Hi all
I'm into a project which uses a lot of views for joining 2 or more tables. Using the MERGE component in SSIS will be a huge effort coz it only has 2 inputs and I gotta SORT the input too.
Isnt it possible to have a VIEW like component that joins more than 2 tables and DOESNT need sorting??
(I've thought about creating views in database engine but it breaks my data floe in SSIS and is'nt a practical solution)

Hi,
I have a package which reads an Access file from a folder. My connection manager to this file is .NET providers for OledbMicrosoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Package works from my computer. But when I execute it on the server as a SQL Agent job, I get
The component metadata for "component "DataReader Source" (1) could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed.
I copied the mdb file to a folder on the server which my packages have no problem reading data from.
My packages run under the same domain account as defined in proxies.
Appreciate a help.

Hi guys,
I need to use a SQL statement to lookup a value from a SQL server database table that relates to a column in my dataflow.
Imagine a SQL database table called 'cars' with values of
Year | Description
2005 Ferrari 355
2005 Ferrari 355 Spider
2006 Ferrari 355 F1
In my data flow I have Year and Model eg.
Year | Model
2005 355
2006 355
In my SQL statement I want to select from the 'cars' table where the years match exactly but the 'description' is like the 'Model'. eg. %355%
So essentially, how do I construct the 'like' clause in the select statement to reference the 'Model' column please?
thanks for your help,
Chris

I've created a custom data flow tranformation and it isn't showing up in the Tool Box Items to be added under the Data Flow Items tab (right click on tool box, 'Choose Items...', then clicked Data Flow Items).
I have done the following:
signed the assembly,
added to GAC,
copied the dll to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPipelineComponents.
It worked previously when I was just starting out, however now I cannot see it. What would cause it to not show up? Everything compiles fine. How would I determine how to fix it so that it shows up?

Hi,
I've created a Custom Data Flow Component and added some Custom Properties.
I want the user to set the contents using an expression. I did some research and come up with the folowing:
Code Snippet
IDTSCustomProperty90 SourceTableProperty = ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertyCollection.New();
SourceTableProperty.ExpressionType = DTSCustomPropertyExpressionType.CPET_NOTIFY;
SourceTableProperty.Name = "SourceTable";
But it doesn't work, if I enter @[System:ackageName] in the field. It comes out "@[System:ackageName]" instead of the actual package name.
I'm also unable to find how I can tell the designer to show the Expression editor. I would like to see the elipses (...) next to my field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Hi,
I'm trying to enable Expression for a custom property in my custom data flow component.
Here is the code I wrote to declare the custom property:
public override void ProvideComponentProperties()
{
ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection.RemoveAll();
RemoveAllInputsOutputsAndCustomProperties();
IDTSCustomProperty90 prop = ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertyCollection.New();
prop.Name = "MyProperty";
prop.Description = "My property description";
prop.Value = string.Empty;
prop.ExpressionType = DTSCustomPropertyExpressionType.CPET_NOTIFY;
...
}
In design mode, I can assign an expression to my custom property, but it get evaluated in design mode and not in runtime
Here is my expression (a file name based on a date contained in a user variable):
"DB" + (DT_WSTR, 4)YEAR( @[User::varCurrentDate] ) + RIGHT( "0" + (DT_WSTR, 2)MONTH( @[User::varCurrentDate] ), 2 ) + "\" + (DT_WSTR, 4)YEAR( @[User::varCurrentDate] ) + RIGHT( "0" + (DT_WSTR, 2)MONTH( @[User::varCurrentDate] ), 2 ) + ".VER"
@[User::varCurrentDate] is a DateTime variable and is assign to 0 at design time
So the expression is evaluated as: "DB189912189912.VER".
My package contains 2 data flow.
At runtime,
The first one is responsible to set a valid date in @[User::varCurrentDate] variable. (the date is 2007-01-15)
The second one contains my custom data flow component with my custom property that was set to an expression at design time
When my component get executed, my custom property value is still "DB189912189912.VER" and I expected "DB200701200701.VER"
Any idea ?

I can't find anything on how to get to a global variable in a script component in the dataflow. I can get to it in a script task with no problem by using dts.variables but i doesn't appear you can do the dts variables in the script component.
I did add it to the readwrite variable list but I haven't been able to access it.

Hi,
I'm on writing a custom data flow component (transformation). For this I need access to an external datasource. As best practice, it seems that you should use a connectionmanager in the package.
But I don't really know how to access them.
I've overwritten the AquireConnections() to lookup in the RuntimeConnectionCollection for the connection managers. But It seems it doesnt get called. If I call it my own, for example in validate (just for debugging purposes) the collection is empty, although there are two connectionmanagers in the package.
What am I doing wrong or has someone a code snippet for me.
Thanks T.

Hi all,
I am missing something simple. I have added a new Transformation Script, put in my code to read the input rows, defined my outputs. I have tried to change the SynchonousInputId to 0, but I only get the option of None or input "Input 0" (91). What have I missed?

I am developing SSIS dataflow component.
Extended user interface is based on class IDtsComponentUI. Connection properties are created in both standart and my extended editor (Extended user interface). To set up designtime connection I use standart and my extended editor.
A main PipelineComponent component have two runtime connection:
IDTSRuntimeConnection90 adoConnection1 = ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection.New();
adoConnection1.Name = "Connection 1";
IDTSRuntimeConnection90 adoConnection2 = ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection.New();
adoConnection2.Name = "Connection 2";
----------------------------------------------------------------------
IDTSComponentMetaData90 dtsComponentMetaData; // current designtime component
....
In IDtsComponentUI I use follow fragment of code (for example):
_dtsComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection[0].ConnectionManager =
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(_connections[0]);
to set up IDTSRuntimeConnection90[0] connection using connections from a current package. After this operation
the RuntimeConnectionCollection[0] is not null within the method PipelineComponent.AcquireConnections((object transaction)). ! But during next launching of Extended user interface the RuntimeConnectionCollection[0] is null within the method PipelineComponent.AcquireConnections((object transaction)).
Why do I lose the connection? And why the connections which set up in my Advanced editor do not save in standart editor?
Thanks in advance.

I€™m trying to populate a table with fields of date type [DT_DATE] using the Slow Changing Dimension Transformation component. When I add the date fields to the component it would not build the stream. The wizard fails and tells me the date fields are not of the same type. The fields in the destination table are of type €œdate€? and the input columns are of type [DT_DATE]. Am I missing something?

Hello,
Using the following documentation as a guide:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/zh-cn/library/aa337080.aspx
I instantiated a new script component into an existing Data Flow in my SSIS project.
In the Script Transformation Editor, under the Connection Managers section, I associated the name dbConnManager to an already existing Connection Manager in the project.
My Connection Manager is of the type oOLEDB.
I then opened up the script designer and added the following lines of code where it said "Add your code here"
Dim myConnManager As IDTSConnectionManager90 = _
Me.Connections.ECFconnection
Dim dbConn As OleDb.OleDbConnection = _
CType(myConnManager.AcquireConnection(Nothing), OleDb.OleDbConnection)
When I test run the project I get the following error and the new script component is red:
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection'. Instances of types that represent COM components cannot be cast to types that do not represent COM components; however they can be cast to interfaces as long as the underlying COM component supports QueryInterface calls for the IID of the interface.
I know the database connection works since I am using it in a component that executes before this new script component.
I am stuck...Any suggestions?

I have created this c# dll for one of my packages and I was planning on calling it from the script component, but for some reason when I try to call it I get the following error.
Could not load file or assembly 'VRS.Utilities.Dates, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I've dropped the dll file in the WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727 folder and it shows up when I go to add the reference however when I try to implement it I get the error.
Any idea's on how to fix this?

Does anyone have any examples of programmatically creating a Transformation Script Component (or Source/Destination) in the dataflow? I have been able to create other Transforms for the dataflow like Derived Column, Sort, etc. but for some reason the Script Component doesn't seem to work the same way.
I have done it as below trying many ways to get the componentClassId including the AssemblyQualifiedname & the GUID as well. No matter, what I do, when it hits the ProvideComponentProperties, it get Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0048021
IDTSComponentMetaData90 scriptPropType = dataFlow.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New();
scriptPropType.Name = "Transform Property Type";
scriptPropType.ComponentClassID = "DTSTransform.ScriptComponent";
// have also tried scriptPropType.ComponentClassID =typeof(Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponent).AssemblyQualifiedName;
scriptPropType.Description = "Transform Property Type";
CManagedComponentWrapper instance2 = scriptPropType.Instantiate();
instance2.ProvideComponentProperties();
Any help or examples would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
I have 56 fields coming into the input of an script component, The need for script component was to just to check if one of those 56 columns has a valid date or not, If valid it will parse and put in an output date column, if not, it will put in NULL.
The 55 fields should be passed on. I dont really wanna write code and define output columns. How do I do this ?
Any input in this would be appreciated.

Hi
Finding this forum really useful...I wonder if you could help me with this.
I've got a very simple script component and I just want to use a Dataset in it.
When I declare the Dataset i get a warning and then consequently an error. herers an image grab of whats happening:
http://www5.webng.com/hopelist/error.jpg
If you can't see the image please let me know.
Essentially VS gives me a hint to add a required assembly which it needs....but when I click to add I get a 'Visaul Basic Compiler has encountered a problem and needs to close' type error.
Anyone got any idea whats going on and why I'm having such a hard time just accessing a Dataset??
thanks
