I have a table which contains a column ([Connection String]) that has every connection string for the SQL instances on our estate.
I have a package which will import data from a single instance, but how do I set the connection manager so that it uses a variable and is populated by a selecting the connection strings from my central database?
Do I use a cursor to select the next connection string?
How to use variables in Connection Manager's properties? I see some replies through Configuration Package. But what if, it is still in development stage? I mean, can I use the Variable tab and create some variables like
User::DBUserNameSource, User::DBPasswordSource,
User::DBuserNameDestination, User::DBPasswordDestination,
Then put them in Password and UserName property of Connection Manager? If this is possible, how and how can I set the values of those variables I mentioned when I am going to deploy the package in the Production?

I am running SQL Server 2012 on a VM and am trying to pull data from a network drive (S: or misvnascfs0003).I can import data using the Import Wizard and save the package as an SSIS package. When I try to Run the Package I get The Acquire Connection method call to the connection manager "SourceConnectionExcel" failed with the error...
If I save the file to the VM local drive the SSIS package run fine.When I log into SSIS through SSMS i have to run as "Administrator".
I need to process a 2012 Excel file. In SSIS Connection Manager, I am only given an option until Excel 2007 version. When I use this in my connection for Excel Source, I am prompted with this error when I attempt to select the name of the sheet:
"Could not retrieve the table information for the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'.
Failed to connect to the source using the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'"
Also my Run64BitRuntime is set to false.
Hi,
View 33 Replies View RelatedWithin an SSIS Package, we are trying to change the connection string of an output file connection manager at runtime (used for package logging).
To do this, we have defined variables with package-level scope and set the connection manager connection string to this variable. The first step of the package is to set these variables. The second step begins the rest of the package operations (moving data). The package executes successfully, but the log file is never created/appended to.
When the package is debugged, I can verify that the variables are being set correctly in the script task and that the variable values are being passed to the connection manager data sources.
Any ideas why this isn€™t working?
When running the project in debug mode or non-debug mode, I get the following error from MS Visual Studio:

I do not know the Excel file name to load in design time.
Would like to pass the value to a variable in the package in run time?
How to do this?

I'm doing a simple ETL that reads a database table and dumps the content to a text file. The text file will be named Employee.txt. This file name will remain the same across my environments, but I may want to vary the directory location to where I want this file dumped.
So, I defined an environment variable called "DataTargetDir" in all my environments. Now, I want to utilize this variable in the "File name:" box within the Flat File Connection Manager Editor. How do I do this? I'm thinking I can write something like "%DataTargetDir%Employee.txt" in the "File name:" box, but it's not working.
Am I approaching this the right way?
Hi,
I have a data flow task within a foreach file loop. My problem occurs when I tried to make up an expression for the connection string of the Excel connection manager. Somehow I can see only system variables and none of the variables which I set up within the scope of the foreach file loop.
Can anyone provide me any insight into this mystery? As far as I can see, all the variables I created in the foreach file loop are still showing on the variable windows (without the Show All Variable button clicked).
Thank you very much and hope to hear from someone soon!

Once you open the SSIS execute package utility and select a package from a SQL server location, even if you go to the connection managers item (on the left in execute package utility) and change a connection string, it doesn't make a difference.
I have this package that reads flat files into a database. So when I run the package, even if I change the connection string for a connection manager to read a particular flat file and run the package, it still uses the old connection string that was used when the package was initially saved. As always I hate Microsoft for releasing features without even checking if it works.
I am using SSIS 2005 on Windows 2003 server. Using Excel Source to dump the data for staging database.

I am trying to run a package outside of the Business Intelligence development Studio. It continuously fails and tell me that my username cannot logon due to a password failure. When I check my connections the password never shows in the connection string and remains blank in the connection properties although I have checked Save Password in the connection properties. Does anyone know how I can save the password in the connection string being utilized in the SSIS package?

Hello,
I am attempting to set up a Connection Manager for a Flat File Source.
Data in my flat file is like this, for example:
"038188306","03/02/2007"
"038C88328","9A9990846","INFY-SW ","L","Z98ZVL97R","2006-06-02"
Row 1 has two columns, Row 2 has six columns (as delimited by the double quotes).
Format: Delimited
Text Qualifer: {""}
Header Row Delimiter: {CR}{LF}
But when I click on the Columns button, it only shows 2 columns. For example, it shows the first row correctly, but Row 2 shows as:
Column 1
"038C88328"
Column 2
"9A9990846","INFY-SW ","L","Z98ZVL97R","2006-06-02"
which is NOT what I want.
I really need help here.
THANKS
I am having a strange problem in that when ever I create a connection to an OLE db source and use SQL Server authorization and save the password, the connection manager seems to "forget" the password. That is, when I click the 'save password' check box, and do a test connection, it connects fine. But as soon as I close that connection window, and reopen it, the password box is empty, and the 'save password' box is still checked. Even if I do a test connection at this point, it wont connect because it does not have the password.
Is this some sort of bug? Is there a workaround?

Hi,
I have been working with a client on a legacy application migration to SSIS and I found SSIS to be very helpful, as this is my first project using integration services I found myself in a situation where multiple solutions can work but I cannot assess the risk of using one or the other and the effort required for the implementation.
The situation is as following, we cannot touch the input files that come from the other legacy systems so I need to get information that is packaged following the next multipart schema:
&Header with context information from the source
&BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format N)
- Data in format N
&BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format K)
+Data in format K
&BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format P)
=Data in format P
Etc... Needless to say that they can come in whatever order and they need different processing depending on the format. I have been tempted to use the techniq shown in "Handling Different Row Types In The Same File" from http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?54.
However, there are multiple issues that I have to resolve to do that: First is how to feed the pipeline with the Data in format N and then reparse them in an easy way cause the data that comes from the other system is very wide (aprox 120 columns), so using a parsing script is by no means a viable solution (I have multiple formats to handle). So I do not see a way to treat the data without using a Custom Connection Manager. Here comes my first question: Is there anyway someone can use the already provided managers to handle an scenario like this one?
Next comes the separation, which one is the wisest thing to do: Write again that to disk in as easier format or pass along that information to the next task in memory? The volume of data is in the order of hundreds of megabytes (100 to 200), maybe half a Gigabyte in the extreme cases. How about uploading that to SQL Server and work from there?
BTW, the production servers will have 6 to 8 Gb of memory and 4 to 8 processors (more or less).
Thanks in advance.

hi all,
I m new to this forum and hope i ll get warm welcome from all of you.... thank you
I m Praveen kumar Dayanithi... a master student doin my assistantship in a Company. Kindly help me with this...
Here is my issue.... i would like to know how can i pass arguments to connection manager programmatically. In other words how can i acquire connection manger through SCRIPT task(Vb script). I know it is very easy to manually select n specify database name, table name by right clicking in dataflow task but in my company if i do that it will be very cumbersome for production people to change all the database and table names manually when the project is moved to production. Rather if i programmatically acquire connection manager using global variables it will make production people's job very easy. They have to just change the value of the variables. So can any one help me with this issue.
Thanks n regards

Hi everyone
I´m using the Flat File Connection Manager to access a flat file, tab delimited. The flat file has 200 columns, and when I'm editing the columns, I only preview columns from 0 to 97.
Does the flat file connection have a column number limit? How could I increase it?
Thank you for your answer.....

I use Sql server 2005 standard edition in a 64 bit machine.I tried to create a SSIS project with an Analysis Services Processing Task. In connection Manager, the test connection succeeds but when I try to add the analysis services connection manager it gives following error.-The new connection manager could not be created,Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0010014 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSRuntimeWrap). This is a production server and we cannot reproduce this in other servers , so troubleshooting is difficult. This error appears when connecting to other sources like MS excel in Export task of Enteerprise Manager as well. Cubes can be processed manually without any problem.Pls give me a solution.

While using the connection manager name in the SSIS component (say script task) the connection is failing . As a workaround, the whole connection string has been put in a variable and used that variable in the SCRIPT task.
Is it a bug or some other property need to be set to use ConnectionManager Name .
