SQL 2012 :: Master / Driver Package And Expression To Set Variable
May 5, 2015
I have been using SSIS for a while now, originally in SQL 2008 but more lately SQL 2012.
I discovered the GETDATE() function in SSIS so I thought I would use this in a variable expression in a Master/Driver package with the child parameters mapped to this variable. A big mistake. The value is not persisted, it gets updated each time the variable is read, so it's back to setting the variable value using a script task in the Master/Driver package.

I have a master package which calls two package one after an other.
1) I will be passing parameters to master package using dtexec with /set property to set the variables in the master package. I would like to know how can child package access these variables.

I have created a variable in a SQL Task and assigned it to a string variable. When I debug the container with a breakpoint, I can see the correct date value being assigned to the variable.
I have an ADO Net source setup to an Oracle connection. I need to pull the Oracle data down that has an updated date greater than the updated date in my ODS.
My issue is that the variable is not being passed through to my expression that I use for an ADO Net source.
"SELECT * FROM BI_EDW.GL_JE_HEADERS WHERE LAST_UPDATE_DATE > To_Date('" + (DT_WSTR, 19) @[User::varLastUpdateDate] + "','yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')"

Hi there
We have a SSIS run which runs as follows
The master package has a configuration file, specifying the connect strings
The master package passes these connect-strings to the child packages in a variable
Both master package and child packages have connection managers, setup to use localhost. This is done deliberately to be able to test the packages on individual development pc€™s.
We do not want to change anything inside the packages when deploying to test, and from test to production. All differences will be in the config files (which are pretty fixed, they very seldom change). That way we can be sure that we can deploy to production without any changes at all.
The package is run from the file system, through a job-schedule.
We experience the following when running on a not default sql-server instance (called dkms5253uedw)
Case 1:
The master package starts by executing three sql-scripts (drop foreign key€™s, truncate tables, create foreign key€™s). This works fine.
The master package then executes the first child package. We then in the sysdtslog get:
Error - €œcannot connect to database xxx€?
Info - €œpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
The child package then executes OK, does all it€™s work, and finish. Because there has been an error, the master package then stops with an error.
Case 2:
When we run exactly the same, but with the connection strings in the config file pointing to the default instance (dkms5253), the everything works fine.
Case 3:
When we run exactly the same, again against the dkms5253uedw instance, but now with the exact same databases defined in the default instance, it also works perfect.
Case 4:
When we then stop the sql-server on the default instance, the package faults again, this time with
Error - €œtimeout when connect to database xxx€?
Info - €œpackage is preparing to get connection string from parent €¦€?
And the continues as in the first case
From all this we conclude, that the child package tries to connect to the database before it knows the connection string it gets passed in the variable from the master package. It therefore tries to connect to the default instance, and this only works if the default instance is running and has the same databases defined. As far as we can see, the child package does no work against the default instance (no logging etc.).
We have tried delayed validation in the packages and in the connection managers, but with the same results (error).
So we are desperately hoping that someone can help us solve this problem.
Thanx,
/Nils M - Copenhagen

Is it possible to call a package through the 'Execute package task' and force it to run in 32 bit while the master package runs in 64 bit?

I'm working on an SSIS package that uses a vb.net script to grab some XML from a webservice (I'd explain why I'm not using a web service task here, but I'd just get angry), and I wish to then assign the XML string to a package variable which then gets sent along to a DataFlow Task that contains an XML Source that points at said variable. when I copy the XML string into the variable value in the script, if do a quickwatch on the variable (as in Dts.Variable("MyXML").value) it looks as though the new value has been copied to the variable, but when I step out of that task and look at the package explorer the variable is its original value.
I think the problem is that the dataflow XML source has a lock on the variable and so the script task isn't affecting it. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem, or know a workaround?

I want to call a stored procedure that has a table variable as its parameter. I am using the MSFT SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver 1.1, however I don't know how to construct a table variable from the Java side to place within a CallableStatement. The CallableStatement interface allows me to set various types of parameters (e.g. Boolean, Byte, Blob, Array, etc.) but I don't see anything for table variable.
Is there a way to do this?

Hello,
I have a DateTime variable called CurrentDate that needs to reflect the current date, but the date portion only. I checked several functions in the Expression Builder to use with GETDATE() so that I could just get the date portion, but I didn't see anything that really fit. In a SQL query I would normally use CONVERT to do this.
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help!

What would be the correct syntax if I wanted to add the following lines into a variable using an expression? The lines should be the first two rows before my XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataroot xmlns:od="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:officedata">

Thanks,

Hi all of you,
That's an easy one. I've got a Send Mail task which might send a message in plain text along with a SSIS variable.
Something like that:
'La tabla "' + SUBSTRING( @[System:ackageName], 3,20) + "' se ha cargado correctamente'
TIA for that,

Hi
I have some SSIS variables of type System.Object (they have to be this
type because they are used to hold the results of a single row result
set in an Execute SQL task which is querying an Oracle database.
Although I know the Oracle table columns are Numeric, this was the only
SSIS type that worked).
My problem is that I want to use these variables in expressions, but
can't - I get the error "The data type of variable "User::varObjectVar"
is not supported in an expression".
The only workaround I can think of is to use a script to assign
the numeric values (integers, in fact) that these variables hold to
other variables of type Int32.
Is that my only option, or am I missing something?
thanks

I have been successful using comments (to help remind me that the SQL is coming from a varaible which is set via an expresion) within the variable expression passed to a Source or Destination. I have been unable to get this to work in an ExecuteSQL control flow task when parameters are used within the query. I am not sure what is causing this not to work the fact that it is an ExecuteSQL control flow task or that the SQL has parameters (or perhaps that it also uses an OUTPUT parameter).
Any thoughts to share? Am I missing something?

I'm trying to do something very simple, and having a tough time with it.
I've got a Global Variable that gets a string value assigned to it in a Script Task, and then I need to access that value in Execute Process Task Expression. When running, by the time it gets to the Process Task, the global variable's value in the expression is still blank, even though a breakpoint on the task shows that it does have a value.
What am I doing wrong? This seems too simple to give me this much problem.

Greetings my SSIS friends
I am attempting to create an expression as follows:
"Select * from someTable where someColumn >= " + (dt_str, 25, 1252) @[User::DateTimeVariable]
The problem is that my variable is a Datetime field and when I convert it to string, the string will not execute correctly.
How to solve this problem?

First and foremost, I'm officially and thoroughly confused between Variable, Expression and settings. I need help clearify this up for me.
I'm going to use the Flat File Connection as an example.
I have:
> A global variable named: FileToImportFullPath (string) that stores the full path of the file I want to import. Note: the file path will change has the package executes (the location of the file depends on a number of conditions, namely the Date and Time of the package execution)
> A Flat File Connection Manager used by a Flat File source in the package's main Data Flow
So ideally, I want the Flat File Connection Manager's ConnectionString to be set to whatever the value of FileToImportFullPath variable is at the time. To accomplish this, I set the ConnectionString Expression to equal to FileToImportFullPath. First question, if I set the ConnectionString Expression, is it okay for me to leave the ConnectionString property (i.e. in the Editor or the Property Editor) blank? Second, whenever I leave the ConnectionString property blank, I will get a warning stating: "A valid file name must be selected". Since this is a warning, I ignored, but during exeuction, the value really is blank. Also, I'm 100% certain that the FileToImportFullPath variable is set correctly before the Data Flow step is executed.
All in all, I'm just confused if an object's property must be set if there is already an express for it (e.g., in the file move task, the source and the destination properties).
Thanks,
Jason

Hi all.
I've previous posted a message with error building the expression of the dtexec.exe string. But now, the problem is other, and I've decided to create other threat.
Here is what I'm doing:
I've a SP that receives every parameter so I can build my dtexec.exe statement to be executed by a variable with something like this exec @rc = master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @CMD
Till now I have no problem executing it, not from a variable, but just with the statement itself, like this:
exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'C:PROGRA~2MICROS~290DTSBINNDTEXEC.EXE /SQ PACKAGE /SET "Package.Variables[PERIOD].Value";20070101'.
But now, I have this SP that builds the string into a variable and then I just want to execute it throught the variable like this: exec @rc = master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @CMD.
When I make a SELECT @CMD just before the exec @rc = master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @CMD, so it prints the builded string, copy it and pasted to exec master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'copied string' it works fine. But the step of exec @rc = master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @CMD returns the error:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Why is this, if I copy the generated string and execute it by the other way it works fine, but executing the generated string throught the variable it gives me that error?

I need to re-write some SQL 2000 DTS packages in SSIS to pull data from our db2 system into SQL. I would like to use Microsoft's DB2 OLE DB driver. I'm new to SSIS and the db2 provider, so it may just simply be that I'm setting things up incorrectly.
What I've done:
- created the udl via the Data Access Tool that comes as part of the DB2 provider - connection tests successfully
- created the data source in the SSIS package explorer - connection tests successfully
- added a connection in the connection manager in the SSIS package - connection tests successfully
When I try to set up a data flow, I pull in an ODBC source and edit the source to use the db2 connection. I can get so far as to select the desired table from the drop-down list and then when I try to view columns or just click the okay button, receive the following error :
Error at Package [Connection manager "UDLFilename.catalog.username"]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80070057.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80070057
Description: "The parameter is incorrect.".
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Souce [1]]: SSIS Error Code
DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "ULDFilename.catalog.username" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
Additional information:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC020801C (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
I've been working on this for a week and just can't seem to make any headway or find any existing help on the internet. Can anyone give me any idea what parameter the error is referring to or any clue as to what to try next? I only have two weeks left before we implement...
Thanks much for your help!!!!

I have tried with this thing for hours and I can't get it to parse.
Trying to get last year so the expression should evaluate today as of "12/31/2014"
I looked all over on Google and couldn't find an expression to copy so I've been playing with it.
Here is what it is in SQL Server:
SELECT DATEADD(dd,-1,DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy,0,GETDATE()),0))
Absolutely could not get it to parse..even with DT tags, etc...

I'm using a file Task to rename files to include a Month and Year in the FIle. Part of the requirement in the file name is a two digit month. I have the following query built which will return a two digit month regardless if it's a one or two digit month.
SELECT REPLACE(STR(MONTH(DATEADD("Month", -1,GETDATE())), 2), ' ', '0')
This works perfect when running in T-SQL, but when attempting to define a variable in the expression
REPLACE(STR(MONTH(DATEADD("Month", -1,GETDATE())), 2), ' ', '0') expression keeps failing the evaluation?
Anyone run into a simliar issue or have a suggested work around?

Greetings once again SQL friends,
Sorry to bug you with my silly questions but this little problem has been driving me crazy for the last hour or so!
I am attempting to change the data type of a variable in an expression but I keep getting an error saying that the expression can not be evaluated.
The syntax I am using is as follows :
(dt_str) @[User::MAX_OFFER_PRICE_ID]
My variable MAX_OFFER_PRICE_ID is type int32 and I am attempting to cast it as a string.
What am I doing wrong?!
Thanks for your help in advance.

I have an integer variable which i had to cast as a string in order for it to show as an integer in the sql expression which is a string in order for it to INSERT as an integer? Read that 5 times fast!!!
"INSERT INTO Table( SourceFileName, ProcessStartTime, ProcessEndTime, Processed, RowCountFlatFile, RowCountCleanInsert, RowCountDataConversionErrors, RowCountPKViolation, RowCountDuplicateInvoiceIDInSourceFile, RowCountISNULLCase1, RowCountISNULLCase2, RowCountConditionalSplit)
VALUES( '"+ @[User:aymentFileName] +"',
'"+ (DT_STR, 20, 1252)@[System:tartTime]+ "',
'"+ (DT_STR, 20, 1252)@[System:tartTime]+ "',
1,
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcSourceFile]+",
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcCleanInserts]+",
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcDataConversionErrors]+",
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcPKViolation]+",
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcExistingInvoiceID]+",
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcISNULLCase1] +",
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcISNULLCase2] +",
"+(DT_STR, 4, 1252)@[User::rcConditionalSplitErrors]+"
)"
all the variable beginning with rc are Int32 variables being loaded using the Row Count task. they are being inserted into an integer field in the table. Is this whack or what???
I was trying to cast is using DT_I4 but couldn't find any samples nor could I get it to work. The above is successful!!!

I have one package that executes 4 child packages (5 total). All 5 packages are set to log information using a connection string with a variable set at runtime for the location. The child packages use a parent variable to get the log connection string from the parent package.
The parent package logs fine, but a strange behavior occurs with the child packages.
The child packages all log data to the location used in the configuration file variable during runtime (like it's supposed to). However, I would get an error right before the first child package finishes execution saying path not found. Just for giggles, I created the folder I use in my development environment on the production environment. The error goes away, but the log file is created in that folder with no data in it. Subsequently, the log file with the data is created in the location set in the configuration file. Now I have two log files!!!!
Anybody know how to fix this?!

Hi
We have set up an SSIS package which goes to an FTP site and downloads files.
Everything is fine... EXCEPT (lol) when there are no files to download. This then fails the task.
However, I want the package to continue to run.
Is there away of assigning the error message given to an expression and then using the expression in the precedence contraint?
thanking you in advance

I have created a SSIS package with a Foreach Loop including a Data Flow Task, which in turn include a Row Count component which pass the row count value to variable with package scope. The variable is used in an Execute SQL Task following the Data Flow Task.
The package executes successfully when executed on its own, but when executed as a child from a parent package (which only include an Execute Package Task) the variable from the Foreach Loop becomes NULL.
There are a lot of other variables in the package receiving values dynamically without any problem, the row count variable however is the only variable in the package that receives a value as part of a Data Flow (and used in following tasks within the Foreach Loop).
Why does the variable become Null? For your information, I am using a variable with package scope and no variables from the parent package are used or passed from the child package to the parent package.
(For your information, we are running the 64 bit version)

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.

Hi,
I have packages stored in SQL store. I was letting users run the packages from a .net app that I made with
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Now I have noticed this causes the packages to run on the client pc cpu, as well as the network traffic is done via the client pc, in my particular case this is slow.
From the doc and in this forum I have found that you can run a package on the Server cpu through sql agent, let packages be run in a sql job. after that you can start a package from an application with the SQL sp_start_job .
But How do you set a user::varibale in a package if you have to start the package from a sql agent job ?
