SQL DTS Packages Data Transform Task
May 25, 2006
Hello, I am working on a module to extract data from a Teradata server to SQL database. I am using a DTS package to extract the data and need to make the data source name (database name and object name) configurable at runtime and to be read from a Config table in the SQL database. What do you suggest is the simplest and most efficient method to do this?
I am trying to use a dynamic SQL query in the data tranform task with the data source as a query. But its giving me a strange syntax error. Can we use a dynamic SQL in the query option of DTS transform task source?
Thanks, Meriya

Hi
I need to Transform Data from a Transoft Data Source (ODBC) into an OLE DB Connection.
The Solution that I Currently have is to Transform using the DTS 2000 Package Task.
Is there a way that I can perform this task by using SSIS

I am importing data from xls file to a db table with a dts. In the time of the dts creation I am using 'Transform Data Task Properties' GUI window to map incoming xls fields (source) to the table columns (destination).
Question: Is there any way to invoke the 'Transform Data Task Property' GUI window in dts runtime and use it to change the mapping dynamically in the run time?
Thanks, Vadim.

Hi everybody
I'm still trying to learn the advantage of having stored procedures. I have a DTS that uses a Transform Data Task to append the result of a view into a table. All operations are done locally in the server.
Do I have any advantage if I write a stored procedure to insert the view into the table, and then call the stored procedure in the DTS, in stead of using the Transform Data Task ?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts

Hi All,
I'm stuck up with a strange problem.
When i try to setup a Transform Data task in DTS, the table drop down shows fully qualified table name.
i.e. <database name>.<schema name>.<table name>
as you can see in the attached screenshot. With this I cant see the full table name and am not able to make the correct selection.
Where can i change the properties so that it displays only the table name?
Thanks
Rohit

I am trying to read in a flat file, transform the fields and store into a destination database.
In DTS, this works using Transform Data Task Properties. I define the columns and then have a VB script on the Transformations tab that changes any bad data.
Is there a way to do this in SSIS that I can define the column transformations and re-use my VB scripts?

I have an Access 2.0 database that holds call data on a mapped drive. I am running MS SQL Server 2000. I can open it and view the records inside. I can even run the query below and get results, if I removed the CallDate and CallTime parameters.
SELECT CallDate, CallTime, Mid(CallRecordData, 68, 3) AS Extension, 'I' AS Direction, Mid(CallRecordData, 34, 11) AS Called,
Val(Mid(CallRecordData, 18, 2)) + Val(Mid(CallRecordData, 21, 2))/ 60 AS Minutes, Val(Mid(CallRecordData, 21, 2)) AS Seconds
FROM CallRecords
WHERE (CallDate = ?) AND (CallTime >= ?) AND (CallTime < ?) AND (Mid(CallRecordData, 30, 1) <> '9')
When I preview in the Transform Data Task, I get:
Package Error
Error Source: Microsoft JET Database Engine
Error Description: No value given for one or more required parameters.
When I look at the parameters, they are listed. I check their values, and they have the appropriate values (DateCalled, String, 07/14/2005) (StartTime, String, 06:30) (EndTime, String, 07:00)
When I run it in the build query or in Access with a linked table to the source, I can enter the values when asked for them and it works.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

i have too many DTS packages to migrate to SSIS, and while examining a DTS package in BIDS (converted with the migration utility) i tried to edit the resulting migrated package, which opened the DTS interface with the two connection icons joined by the big fat arrow with a gear on it...not exactly what i had in mind, iow, it looks like SSIS on the outside, but its still DTS on the inside.
So I stripped out a series of components from a more complex package hoping that simplifying it would reveal the contents of old DTS Transformations tab at least partially set up in a Derived Column transformation.
Can i get there from here, or must i recreate every stinking definition in a derived column manually from the ground up?
thanks very much for your help

Hi JayH (or anyone). Another week...a new set of problems. I obviously need to learn .net syntax, but because of project deadlines in converting from DTS to SSIS it is hard for me to stop and do that. So, if someone could help me some easy syntax, I would really appreciate it.
In DTS, there was a VBScript that copied a set of flat files from one directory to an archive directory after modifying the file name. In SSIS, the directory and archive directory will be specified in the config file. So, I need a .net script that retrieves a file, renames it and copies it to a different directory.
Linda
Here is the old VBScript Code:
Public Sub Main()
Option Explicit
Function Main()
Dim MovementDataDir
Dim MovementArchiveDataDir
Dim MovementDataFile
Dim MovementArchiveDataFile
Dim FileNameRoot
Dim FileNameExtension, DecimalLocation
Dim CurMonth, CurDay
Dim FileApplicationDate
Dim fso ' File System Object
Dim folder
Dim FileCollection
Dim MovementFile
'======================================================================
'Create text strings of today's date to be appended to the archived file.
FileApplicationDate = Now
CurMonth = Month(FileApplicationDate)
CurDay = Day(FileApplicationDate)
If Len(CurMonth) = 1 Then
CurMonth = "0" & CurMonth
End If
If Len(CurDay) = 1 Then
CurDay = "0" & CurDay
End If
FileApplicationDate = CurMonth & CurDay & Year(FileApplicationDate)
'=====================================================================
' Set the movement data directory from the global variable.
MovementDataDir = DTSGlobalVariables("gsMovementDataDir").Value
MovementArchiveDataDir = DTSGlobalVariables("gsMovementDataArchiveDir").Value
fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
folder = fso.GetFolder(MovementDataDir)
FileCollection = folder.Files
' Loop through all files in the data directory.
For Each MovementFile In FileCollection
' Get the full path name of the current data file.
MovementDataFile = MovementDataDir & "" & MovementFile.Name
' Get the full path name of the archive data file.
MovementArchiveDataFile = MovementArchiveDataDir & "" & MovementFile.Name
DecimalLocation = InStr(1, MovementArchiveDataFile, ".")
FileNameExtension = Mid(MovementArchiveDataFile, DecimalLocation, Len(MovementArchiveDataFile) - DecimalLocation + 1)
FileNameRoot = Mid(MovementArchiveDataFile, 1, DecimalLocation - 1)
MovementArchiveDataFile = FileNameRoot & "_" & FileApplicationDate & FileNameExtension
If (fso.FileExists(MovementDataFile)) Then
fso.CopyFile(MovementDataFile, MovementArchiveDataFile)
' If the archive file was coppied, then delete the old copy.
If (fso.FileExists(MovementArchiveDataFile)) Then
fso.DeleteFile(MovementDataFile)
End If
End If
Next
fso = Nothing
folder = Nothing
FileCollection = Nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function

I am able to use the Import task and then run a query on db2, save the package and execute the package.But when i try edit the transform task i get a mmc.ese application error...it says that the instruction at addres "" tries referencing memory at address "". The memory could not be read...

The thing is I am using a DTS package to get data from db2 residing on a s390-mainframe and put it in a sql 2000 db on windows 2000 server..
I have the odbc driver that the server guys gave me..I installed it and then run a batch pgm, which i think does the database set up...in short i set up the DSN's in my local machine..I can use the dsn when i use the sql client...
I can't create a new package and then complete the task..Problem is when i try set up a transform task, i get a memory error...it says that the instruction referenced a memory location that can't be read...
So what i do is i use the import task in sql...which inturn uses the same odbc connection and runs the query on db2..inserts the results into a table in sql..then save the package...Only problem is that i can't edit the transorm task...same memory error...
Any idea why this happens ?? I would like to see how i can get past this using Odbc...

Hi. I have read most of the threads on not being able to run packages outside the Designer, in Agent. I believe my problem is different:
I am able to run some packages with Agent. In fact, we have a couple scheduled and running every night.
However, when we try to run a package that contains an FTP task it only runs in debug mode. If we import it into our server or run it without debugging it keeps failing and giving us the now famous:
The task...... cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition.
So, we have some packages already scheduled and running, but we can't run this specific package with the FTP task. We (two of us) have created this package in the same way we created the other ones. We have created different versions to see if one gets a hit, with no success.
Any thoughts would be greately appreciated.

I have SQLServer 7, and have used Enterprise Manager to schedule local packages. The package that I'm trying to do is run a SQL script on a nightly basis. The problem that I'm having is that I need to be able to install the scheduled script customer box using an installer. I have access to execute command line programs in the installer. Do anyone know if you can schedule local packages (using SQL Scripts) from the command line? Or if a 3rd party application can do this. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I've tried to use sp_add_job and sp_add_jobschedule, but haven't been able to get them to work.
Thanks

Hi,
On my MS SQL Server 2000, I am trying to create a generic way to load tables into my datawarehouse.
I have as input to the process a large number of table definition(s) stored individually as files on my server. And, ascii delimited data files in various locations but mostly accessible via NFS mounts.
I created two DTS package in MSSQL2K that in theory represents what I want to do:
package1
... invoke package2 with global variables to load a system of related tables
package2
... check for a trigger file
... set the "Execute SQL Task" statement to my first file
... run the "Execute SQL Task" which drop/add's a table
... set a "Connection" to a data source file that I want to use
... run the transformation
and, with that my package starts to fall apart
... set the "Execute SQL Task" statement to the next file, and
...... goback and execute it
I can't figure out how to set the table in the transformation section to the table I want to use. And, I assume next to have the transformations links between the source and new table relinked.
The source files contain in the first row the column names as found in the tables I just created.
thanks,
Dave Rowsome

Hello,
I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of any sample code or documentation that allows you to execute SSIS packages from within a Script task?
In SQL Server 2000 DTS this was accomplished by instantiating the DTS.Package object and calling either the LoadFromSQLServer or LoadFromStorageFile method.
I have not been able to find any similiar logic in the SQL Server 2005 SSIS environment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Gordon Radley

Okay all I have a problem. I have two list of adresses and phonenumbers. I do not have control over the contents of the lists The onlyunique field between the two is the phone number. I need to be able toinner join the two lists on phone number.This would normally be straigt forward but the problem is that they areformated different and one of them does't even have a control on theformating.*Phone numbers are US phone numbers only.The one list (table) that does have a control uses this formatAAA3334444where AAA is the area code333 is the 3 digit prefix4444 is the four digit suffixthe second list (table) does not have any standardized formating andcan be filled with extraneous spaces, parentheses and dashes not tomention the leading 1 in some instances.I thought that I could do some kind of regular expression to do acomparison but I havn't as yet found a good resource to tell me how todo it or if it is even possible. Or maybe break up the one I know hasa standardized format into something like this:'%AAA%333%4444%' and doing my comparison that way. however It is veryimportant that only those list items in both list that are truly thesame place be listed.suggestions and solutions are apreciated

I've been executing a package and passing a parent variable to the child using package configurations but I'd now like to do this using a script task. The script task would then programmatically load the package and execute it.
How do I do this and still use the parent variable?
I've found examples of how to load a package but I haven't been able to find out how to I load it specifying the parent variables.
I think it's possible. MSDN shows the available methods but the example is for the base method.

High all,
I have a very simple SSIS package that is moving data from a DB2 database to a Teradata box. I've run it around 10 times, twice it pushed data over, the balance of the time, it executes with no error, but moves nothing over. In the "incomplete" runs, a command line box pops up for half a second, then the package ends.
Does anyone have ideas as to why this behavior is occurring?
Thanks,
Mark

I have a package that works fine in development. I move the package over to test and it fails validation in the lookup transform.
Error 46 Validation error. Data Flow Task - PO Lines Interface: Lookup - LIST PRICE [29621]: output column "LIST_PRICE_PER_UNIT" (29667) and reference column named "LIST_PRICE_PER_UNIT" have incompatible data types. SPO_TO_ORACLE_PO.dtsx 0 0
What strikes me as odd is the fact that I don't have a way of specifying the data types. I just specify the column I wish to return as a new column with the same name. Anyway, why would this work in one instance but not another?
thanks
John

Hi I have completed my first SSIS master package which runs a whole lot of child packages depending on value of expressions on workflow. (refer http://www.sqlis.com/306-3.aspx)
Each of my child packages is .dtsx file location and each Excute Package task uses the file connection.
The master parent package is also a dtsx file location which will be run by a SQL Server 2005 Agent
All good--problem is testing from BIDs--each time a Excecute package task is run--turns yellow a new tab appears apears in the design window --showing you that particular .dtsx file control flow detail. DTS never had this behaviour --can I turn this off in the BIDS ie as I have dozens of new tabs at run time which makes it very hard to keep track of the master package. All I want is the master package running from BIDs, and no new tabs appearing at run time???
Thanks kindly
Dave

I have created for each container to call all the packages in a folder like below, also created a variable.
Then I add execute package task inside of foreach container and selected file system in a location and in connection called currently creating package name finally in connection properties i added variable in expression which i created and mapped into for each loop container. I referred below link

All the packages are running but its not ending once all the packages executed its re run and continue the running process, how to stop once all the packages execute.

W2k3 server, SQL 2005.
@@version = Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86)
Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2
(Build 3790: Service Pack 1)
I have my first SSIS package almost working, but I'm having an odd problem and can't find any information to help resolve it.
I'm importing from a flat file (csv) to an existing table (append). I've got a Derived Column transformation in the middle to do some data cleanup. It's all working except for one little problem...
One of the transformations is 'REPLACE([Column 3],"^","; ")', output to a new column. (The input file has a field that uses carets as delimiters between an unknown number of items; I'm changing that to semicolons for easier reading.) Not all rows have data in this column, some will have one item, some will have multiple items.
The REPLACE works except that it fills in repeated data for all the blank rows.
Example:
Incoming data is:
1 Smith,Jane^Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3
4 Adams,James^Adams,Jim
5
6 White,Debra
Data inserted into the table is:
1 Smith,Jane; Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3 Brown,John
4 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
5 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
6 White,Debra
I've tried to use a Conditional to skip the empty rows, but I can't get that working at all (get syntax errors no matter what I put in).
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be most appreciated!
Thank you.

Hi,
I am trying to create a simple BI Application for SSIS. In Visual Studio 2005 I just get a Data Flow Task from the toolbar and add it to the project. When I double click it I get the following error:
The task with the name "Data Flow Task" and the creation name "DTS.Pipeline.1" is not registered for use on this computer.
Then when I try to delete it it gives this other error:
Cannot remove the specified item because it was not found in the specified Collection.
I am creating this application in an administrator account in this computer, so I doubt the problem is related to permissions. I am running SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 in WinXP Tablet PC Edition.
Any suggestions why this is happening and how to fix it?
