SQL 2012 :: SSIS Project Deployment Model Miscellaneous Files Not Being Deployed
Jul 9, 2015
I have an existing project that I have added a simple text file. I am using the Project Deployment Model for this project. I save the project, close it and open the project and the file is there under the Miscellaneous folder. I successfully deployed the project to the server. When I retrieve the project using the Integration Services Import Project Wizard, all of my package modifications are there and the packages up to date but the txt file I added to the Miscellaneous folder is not there.
I have an SSIS package that was originally written for SQL Server 2008 that needs to be updated. I am interested in moving it to 2012 and using the project deployment model, but it includes a plain text script file in an Execute Process Task call to WinSCP for an SFTP transfer. It appears that by moving from package deployment to project deployment that this file would no longer be bundled with the deployment package.I guess I could copy the WinSCP script to an external file path, but I'd prefer to keep them together for version control if possible.
I'm wondering how to use the dtUtil command to deploy an ssis package but also include any of the miscellaneous files, such as some dtsconfig files. I'd like to be able to use the dtUtil command to specify where to put any "dependencies" that I have. If I create a deployment utility from BI Studio, I have the option on the third screen to choose the folder for dependencies, how come I don't see any parameters for that on the dtUtil command? Is it possible, or do I HAVE to deploy using the deployment utility created for me by BI Studio?
in order to maintain a deployed project into an Integration Services Catalog I'd like to know if it is possible to import it into a new project inside SSDT.
I have a VS 2012 SSIS project with more and more packages being added. I've got project parameters so I'm committed to the project deployment model (which is pretty convenient BTW). My question is how we're supposed to occasionally limit the packages we want deployed. There are times when 2 or more packages may be in development and 1 is deployable and the other not. I can temporarily exclude the not ready package and then deploy. It seems cumbersome bringing it back in. BIDS complains that all the tasks have lost their connection managers; even though they're are present in the editor. And it makes a copy of the .dtsx.
what's the recommended way to work in this environment?
We have an SSAS project that we want to auto deploy. I am not sure how to handle the external data sources in the project. This one in particular has a single external data source defined to Microsoft SQL Server.
I would like to be able to change the data source based on the environment. In SSIS projects I can do this by setting up environments in the SSISDB and linking them to project parameters in the SSIS project but SSAS projects don't seem to have a similar mechanism.
How to handle this? I would like to be able to have the build/deployment agent pass in server / database information to the data source based on environment (dev, QA, production).
The only way to automate this that I've discovered is to have an intermediary process that executes after the build that updates the generated .asdatabase and .configsettings files in the bin folder replacing the connection string information.
I have deployed a project with multiple packages to SSIS 2012 db. I am able to configure the project parameters fine. But, I am not able to replace the package variable values with the 'Environment' variables.
I had a package that was deployed to the SSIS server. That server went away. I would like to now deploy the package to a file system. What settings do I need to change in the package so that it will not attempt to deploy to a non-existant server?
I have been handed a datawarehouse environment to look at however I cannot find the ssis packages (.dtsx).
I see that the packages have been deployed to SSISDB but I can't find the files to load into Datatools.
Once the files have been deployed is it possible to remove the package files? Is there a way of retro'ing the deployed packages out of SQL so I can view them in Datatools?
Based on some of the threads, when I enabled package configuration, I changed the path from C:Karunakaranfolder1folder2Configcommon.dtsconfig -> common.dtsconfig
Once I did this, when I open the project I get a dozen of warning similar to the one below
Warning loading <package1>.dtsx: Failed to load at least one of the configuration entries for the package. Check configurations entries and previous warnings to see descriptions of which configuration failed.
What am I doing wrong here? If I have to deploy this to another box, what should I do to ensure that nothing breaks once its copied / installed?
When you create a SSIS Project in Visual Studio and start adding many, many SSIS and several people do it, they are not being sorted when they get loaded into Visual Studio environment, unlike other objects such as web forms in ASP.NET or classes. as you can imagine, if you have about 100 of SSIS, it makes it very hard for anyone to find one SSIS to alter it.
all these packages are being stored in some xml file, right? so, my boss wants me to write a tool that will open this file and order SSIS by names to make it easier for anyone in a team. i was wondering if anyone has done something like this already, or started. any leads, comments will be appreciated.
Been practicing DR strategies with a test SQL instance by following the scenarios listed here: [URL] ....
> Took a backup of the Model database > Stopped SQL Server > Deleted model database data & log file > Started SQL Server and it obviously wouldn't start because TempDB needs a model database present. > Started SQL instance with trace flags 3608 & 3609 > Connected to SQL instance using command prompt. > Issued restore command but was met with this error:
Shared Memory Provider: The pipe has been ended. Communication link failure
And found this in the SQL log..

I have a solution with a couple of ssis projects in it. Everytime I open the solution, Visual Studio creates an extra .database file for the project's existing xxx.database file. The solution is under VSS control and VS2005 checks out the project and shows the file as a newly added file.
What causes this and how can I prevent this from occurring?
There are 2 of us working on the solution and the other fellow does not see this behavior.
The files do not show up in the VS2005 solution explorer. If they are user specific as I suspect (impersonation info?), then they should not be added to the .dtproj project file.
I need to import multiple flat files with different formats into different tables of the sql server database and not able to figure out the best way out in ssis to do so...
What are the possible methods in ssis to do so and if possible the process which can be dynamic as file names or columns might change in future.
Adding a value to a non-queried default report parameter value does not update on the target server after deployment.
To recreate
1. Create a report in Visual Studio and add a report parameter with the following properties:
Multi-value is checked Available values = "From Query" Dataset = [create a dataset that returns a table w/ a Id and Description column] Value field = [the Id field from the table] Label field=[the Description column from the table] Default values = "Non-queried" (add several values the match the IDs from the table so that some of the values in the report dropdown will show up as checked when rendering the report)
2. Build and deploy the report to the reporting server. View the report and verify the specified items are checked in the report parameter.
3. Go back to Visual Studio and add a value to the Non-queried Default values.
4. Build and deploy the report again. View the report. The newly added item is not selected.
Notes
I verified that the newly added ID exists in the rdl file (as xml) on both the development box and the server where the report was deployed. However, when I view the report parameter using Management Studio (connect to the reporting server), the newly added value for the report parameter does not exist. I verified that changes are being deployed by adding new parameters and changing other properties of the parameter. I thought maybe the rdl itself was being cached somehow - I tried restarting IIS, SQL Server, and SQL Reporting services. None worked. Note that running the report on the development box by running the project through Visual Studio DOES reflect the change to the parameter.
Work-arounds
1. Create a dataset for the report that returns a table of the Ids that you want pre-selected. The query could be something like this:
SELECT '4' AS SelectedId UNION SELECT '5' AS SelectedId UNION SELECT '6' AS SelectedId
2. Delete the report in Management Studio, then redeploy.
I have issue w/ both workarounds because for 1) it is not intuitive and you have to remember to do this for every similar case, and 2) this extra step has to occur each time the report is deployed w/ changes to the report parameter.
For some reason in a Team Foundation Team Project that has multiple project types (SSRS, SSIS, WebSite, C# Business DLL...), the SSIS project makes itself the startup project to the team project. If I explicitly set another project as the startup project to the team project and then select an SSIS package in the SSIS project in the team project, the SSIS project becomes the startup project automatically.
Hello, I've created a Report Model Project that can be used by Report Builder to generate ad-hoc reports. I'm trying to create a connection string in my Report Server Project that points to the Report Model Project data source view.
All I can do is create a regular datasource, which bypasses the metadata contained in the Data Source View.
Basically I want my Report Server Project and my Report Builder reports to leverage the same metadata. Is this possible? If so how do I get the connection string?
I've not really used SSIS for a while, and I'm now building some in 2012 and trying to utilise some of the features in the 2012 SSIS catalogue; however I've hit a bit of a stumbling block.
What I'm trying to do is have a master/child package relationship, with several child packages and where the child packages themselves are dynamically called (i.e. the master package may call a different child package based upon some value or state of data already processed.)
When I try and create an expression for the PackageNameFromProject property... well, that property doesn't appear to set dynamically. I know how to do this for old style packages by creating expressions for the package name etc; but that way I can't use the package parameters I have from my master package.
We are using MSBuild with a custom activity to build and deploy ISPACs from SSDT BI 2012. We are building the ISPAC by calling the invoke process activity which inturn performs a build of the solution using devenv.exe.
All of this is working fine until we have solutions/ projects (dtproj) with complex names. We have a solution named Company.Project.SSIS.Package.sln when we do a build it creates an ISPAC as expected however it is named incorrectly - Company.Project.ispac.
When we subsequently deploy the ISPAC, it creates a project in the catalog called Company.Project.SSIS again this is wrong. This also happend if i perform a manual build in VS2012.
The issue is, the automated deployment of the ISPAC fails as it is looking for a file with a different name. Is there a way of changing these settings?
I am building a bunch of packages on our new server and all was going well until I edited the project using the client tools on my PC. I now receive the below error if I try to execute any of the packages on the server (all is still fine on the client). I have scoured the net but I don't seem to be able to come up with a solution. I have tried altering the folder & object permissions for my login (that created the project on the server and edited using the client) but I still get the error.

We had some problems in deploying the reports to the client. Previously we used to deploy the reports in our development environment through reporting project but now we need to physically deploy the reports to the client on 14 different servers. We don't have access to the reporting project on site. Is there any way to deploy the reports outside reporting project?
Hello, I have created a report model project using BI studio, to try ad-hoc reporting. In that project, i have also created a report model for a database named Galactic that resides in my sql server instance. When i want to deploy the project to the report server it gives following error:
Error 1 The path of the item '//GDS/Models' is not valid. The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with slash. 0 0
Properties of my project are as follows: OverriteDataSources : False TargetDataSourceFolder : /GDS/Shared Reports TargetModelFolder : /GDS/Models TargetServerURL : http://localhost/ReportServer
By the way, i have a second problem. When i try to open the url "http://localhost/ReportServer" it asks for a user name and password. altough i provide my windows account's user name and password which have administrator rights, they are not accepted.
I have a Visual Studio 2005 solution which contains a Sql Server Integration Services (SSIS) project.
In this solution I have explicitly set a Web application project as startup project, but whenever I edit a DTS package within the SSIS project, VS automatically sets the SSIS project as startup project and the package I edit as startup object.
Needless to say, this may cause some really unwanted incidents when running the solution - thinking that you're about to run the Web application project (that was explicitly set as startup project), but instead, you run the edited package in the SSIS project.
Is there any way to avoid having the SSIS project automatically setting itself as startup project, any workaround here at all? :)
I've got an SSIS solution file with project deployment model in VS 2013 and would like to deploy that to SSISDB on different environments.All these days I followed the regular way to create a project in SSISDB and deploy it to that. Now want to find out if i can automate this process and so got some questions
1. Can we automate the process of creating a project on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name? This will be like when we do a deployment it should check if the project exists or not on SSISDB based on our SSIS project name, if the project exists we just deploy the packages in the project and if the project does not exists in SSISDB it will create that project and deploy the packages.
2. Can we also automate the process of creating environments? In traditional way we manually create the environment variables under environment tab of SSISDB, but can we make that also as part of deployment? Like when we are releasing to Dev server we look if that particular Dev variable exists on that server, if it exists we just update the existing stuff and if it does not exists we just create it.
In order to deploy the replication implementation along with the software that has been created,how to package the correct set of necessary assemblies along with our client to ensure that the software can function correctly?
When i deploying a report model by visual studio, a login window popped , a '' char in the user name textbox. I input my username and password ,then click "OK",but nothing happened.the window showing yet.I view the RS log, there is a message: "login failed". But, deploy report project is very well. Has any idea with this problem?
There are my RS configurations: Sql Server 2005 sp2. Visual studio 2005 sp1. Reporting Services with Form Authentication.
I did make changes in to webconfig with time out = 1200 and maxrequestlength = '102400' ( i think it is 10 mb)
I also made changes to machine.config.comment requestLimit = "50147483647" [number] ( does it mean 5 MB or G)
My report model is 4 MB and it still keep getting error of
Error 2 There was an exception running the extensions specified in the config file. ---> Maximum request length exceeded. c:documents and settingspdesaimy documentsvisual studio 2005projectshrintegral_reportmodelHR Integral1.smdl 0 0
