Does anyone have any experience setting up paramters when using a Teradata data source? I am specifically looking for how to set up dates and multi-select drop down boxes as parameters. Using a fixed query against Teradata using SSRS is straight forward and is working well. Parameters, not so much.
I am building a report that takes a web service as data source. This web service does not take primitive types as parameters. The signature is something like this:
In the data tab of my report (Reporting Services for SQL Server 2000), I'd like to run a query that requires parameters be passed to it. Is there a way to pass the parameters of the report to that query?
This seems to be much more difficult than it was in DTS (or perhaps I just need to adjust to the new way of doing things).
Eventually I found that I needed to use "SQL command from variable" and using two other variables as input parameters. The expresion for the command is
This previews correctly and the resulting columns are available for mapping to a destination. So far so good.
By the way, is this the best way to call a stored procedure with parameters?
I have pasted the stored procedure at the end of this posting because I have come accross a puzzling problem. The query as shown below works correctlly but if I un-comment the delete statement, the preview still works and the columns are still avilable for mapping but I get the following errors when the package is executed.
Error: 0xC02092B4 at Data Flow Task, OLE DB Source [1]: A rowset based on the SQL command was not returned by the OLE DB provider.
Error: 0xC004701A at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: component "OLE DB Source" (1) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC02092B4.
I realise that I could execute the delete query in a separate SSIS package step but I am curious as to why there is a problem with the way I tried to do it.
At one stage the stored procedure used a temp table and later I also experimented with a table variable. In both cases I got similar errors at execution time. In the case of the temp table there was another problem in that, while the preview worked, there were no columns available for mapping. Using a table variable seemed to overcome this problem but I still got the run time error. eventually I found a way to avoid using either a temp table or a table variable and the package then worked correctly, copying the data into the desitnation table.
It seems to me that if there is any complexity at all to the stored procedure, these errors seem to occur. Can anyone enlighten me as to what the "rules of engagement" are in this regard? Is one solution to use a wrapper stored procedure that simply calls the more complex one?

How can I pass a parameter used for the DataSet query? I'm using this DataSet file as data source of my .rdlc report for Windows Forms.
I've already done a .rdlc report to Web Forms where I passed the query parameter by ObjectDataSource.SelectParameters, but in Windows Forms this object was not created. I just hava the following created objects:
I have three databases which have the identical data structure. When the user runs a report, he has to select a database. For example, my report query would look like:
Select * from <theDatabase>.dbo.MyTable
How could I assign the value of <theDatabase> at run time depending on what the user selects from the list? In my datasource, I have only specified the server name and no value for initial catalog.
In many DTS packages I have used parameterised queries for incremental loads from Oracle database sources using the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle.
Now I want to migrate these packages to SSIS, but the OLE DB connection for Oracle does not support parameters.
I cannot use the "SQL command from variable" data access mode because of the 4000 character limitation on the length of string variables and expressions.
I am building a webapp that calls an SSRS instance to display a report based on another servers web service.I can make a call from the ssrs server using this in the RDL:
<Query> <Method Namespace="http://machine/webservices" Name="HelloUser"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <Parameters> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <Parameter Name="user"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <DefaultValue>Craig</DefaultValue> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â </Parameter> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â </Parameters> </Method> <ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">*</ElementPath> </Query>
This works no problem. but.. I want to have the user parameter "Craig" be a parameter passed in from the web app. If it were a regular SQL data source you would put @user in the query. How do you do it with XML text queries?
We have been a Crystal shop for ages; we are currently doing a proof-of-concept for a conversion to MS Reporting Services. As such, we are developing some Analysis Services 2005 cubes to drive some new SSRS reports, which our users will access through Report Manager. Unfortunately, we are all MDX noobs here, so we are making heavy use of the Wizards until we can come up to speed.
The problem we are running into is when we develop a report with Date Parameters. When we deploy this report, the date parameter box is a dropdown box instead of a date picker. I've seen a couple of other posts on this topic, but when I try to apply the fixes mentioned in them, I throw errors.
I have two quick questions:
Why does this happen? Is it a limitation in the MDX language, in SSAS, or SSRS? Are there any planned fixes? Can someone please show me how to fix this on my actual query string for one of our basic reports? I've highlighted the date parameters.
Code Snippet
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Lead] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Store].[Store ID].[Store ID].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LeadSourceTypeLeadSourceType, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@StoreStoreID, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOMEMBER(@FromLeadCreationDateCalendarDate, CONSTRAINED) : STRTOMEMBER(@ToLeadCreationDateCalendarDate, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Referral Leads]))) WHERE ( IIF( STRTOSET(@LeadSourceTypeLeadSourceType, CONSTRAINED).Count = 1, STRTOSET(@LeadSourceTypeLeadSourceType, CONSTRAINED), [Lead Source Type].[Lead Source Type].currentmember ) ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
I'm afraid, given my user community, that if I can't get the date picker to work properly, it could be a deal breaker.
I am attempting to pass report parameters to my query. My report's data source is a WCF web service. I can run normal queries fine, but I have found that without the know-how to pass parameters to my query I am limited with my capabilities.
Assume a string parameter named "Name" with a specified default value of "Jmachol90", how would I pass that into the following query at the designated place: Â Â <Query> Â Â Â Â Â Â <Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/masterdataservices/2009/09" Name="SecurityPrincipalsGetRequest"> Â Â Â Â Â Â <Parameters> Â Â Â Â Â Â <Parameter Name="Criteria" Type="XML"> <DefaultValue>
It's well known issue, that one can't use any dataset fields in a report header/footer directly. One of the approach is to create query-based parameter that basically equals =First(Fields!@FieldName@.Value, "@DataSetName@") and use that parameter value instead. But it doesn't work in my case!
My report displays some entity description and is parametrized with EntityID param. Its header contains entity name that, according to the approach, is queried from the data source through the EntityName report parameter. There's important issue: the report is displayed in ReportViewer control, that is embedded into my application and entity ID parameter isn't ser by user in ReportViewer parameters area. Its default value is changed by the application with SetReportParameters() web method every time a user wants to view the report according to the entity the user is exploring in the application. But after the report has been rendered, its header always contains not actual (outdated) entity name. Nevertheless, the report body contains actual data (including entity name). If I alter entity ID parameter in ReportViewer or in web-based Report Manager and refresh report, header displays correct entity name.
My requirement for the parameter is multivalue parameter with a text box. for example when user enters aa15 it need to include product aa15. when the user enters aa15, aa16, zz15 than it needs to include all the three products. the last case is when the user enters AA** than i need to inclued all the products start with AA. when i use default multivalue parameter with data source analytical services than i am getting a drop down box. I dont want that. I need a text box where user can enter the value. 1. In sql we have a like key word to query . for example select * from product where product like "AA%". what is equavalent mdx query to get such results ? 2.How to impliment the multivalue parameters without using dropdown box?
, Hi In this code how can I create a new data source and new data source view and model and structure that it run dynamic. In this code I have a lot of errors, that they are about server and database don€™t have in current code, In this code, first I should definition server or no?
How can I create data source and data source view and model and structure? Please say code of that, and guide me. databasename and srv is unknown. Do I add other reference with analysis services? Please explain about these codes: ************************************************************************ 1) RelationalDataSource dsNew = new RelationalDataSource( datasourceName, Utils.GetSyntacticallyValidID( datasourceName, typeof(RelationalDataSource)));
I have set up a new connection as a connection from data source, but I cannot see how to use this connection to create my Data Flow Source. I have tried using an OLE DB connection, but this is painfully slow! The process of loading 10,000 rows takes 14 - 15 minutes. The same process in Access using SQL on a linked table via DSN takes 45 seconds.
Have I missed something in my set up of the OLE DB source / connection? Will a DSN source be faster?
I will like to be able to call a DTS to which I pass in parameter the name and the path of a DBF file of which the function will be to create a table in my SQL server identical by the structure and the contents to the DBF. The problem is that I never know in advance the structure of the DBF. But, in DTS designer I am already obliged to inform the name and the structure of the target then to make the correspondences of column.
PS: I know how to pass parameters to a DTS via utility DTSRUN... / A... etc in order to provide him the name and the path of the DBF
Hello, I have a DataReader souce configured to an ADO.NET connection manager that uses a .NET ODBC Data Provider. The DSN configured in the connection manager uses the IBM DB2 ODBC Driver.
I have a package variable, the value of which I want to use in the WHERE clause of the query contained in the Data Reader source. The query is as follows:
SELECT T1."IRK_ACCT_CD", T1."IRK_COMPANY_NBR", T1."IRK_ACCT_NAME", T1."IRK_ADDRESS_1", T1."IRK_ADDRESS_2", T1."IRK_ADDRESS_3", T1."IRK_STATE_CD", T1."IRK_POSTAL_CD", T1."IRK_AR_TYPE", T2."RK502_ITEM_RE_NO", T2."RK502_TRANS_CD", T2."RK502_TRANS_TYPE", T2."RK502_ITEM_AMT", T2."RK502_ITEM_DT", T2."RK502_PURCH_ORD_NO", T2."RK502_GL_EFF" FROM "CBDBOW"."IRK_RECORD" T1, "CBDBOW"."RK502_OPEN_ITEMS" T2 WHERE T1."IRK_COMPANY_NBR" = T2."RK502_COMP_NO" AND T1."IRK_ACCT_NUMBER" = T2."RK502_ACCT_NO" AND T2."RK502_ITEM_DT" < ?
I'm not very sure as to how to map the package variable this way. I think for ODBC parameters, I need to represent the parameter with a question mark.
I am using an OLE DB Source with SQL command for the data access mode. I defined parameters, then added a complex query with subqueries. It seems like the parameters for a query are not being filled correctly (because I am getting too many rows returned). At one point I saw an error message the said something to the effect that the parameters would be ignored when there was a subquery in the SQL.
Firtsly - I am new to SSIS if my approach could be improved then I welcome suggestions.
Scenario: I have a large SSIS package that consolidates / summarizes work week information from several data sources. Currently each data flow task in the control flow calculates the from and to date that is filtered on, for example:
DECLARE @FromDT AS DATETIME SET @FromDT = CAST(FLOOR( CAST( DATEADD(D, -7, GETDATE()) AS FLOAT ) ) AS DATETIME)
DECLARE @ToDT AS DATETIME SET @ToDT = CAST(FLOOR( CAST( GETDATE() AS FLOAT ) ) AS DATETIME)
I would like to remove these statements that appear in most steps and replace them with a global variable that is used throughout the package. This statement would only appear once & it would make the package much easier to run after failure etc.
Problem: I am using Data Reader Source with the 'SQLCommand' property specified. It looks like parameters are only supported if an OleDB connection is used?
So I switched to an OleDB connection and no parameters are recognised in the string - a forum search reveals that parameters in sub queries are not always found properly. The solution to this problem appears to be, to set 'Bypass Prepare' to True but this is a property for the Execute SQL task, not the Data Flow Task source.
Questions:
Does the Data Reader Source control from Data Flow Source toolbox section support parameters? Can anyone suggest a fix to the OleDB Source issue with Parameters? Is there a better way to solve my problem e.g. Using Execute SQL Task instead of Data Flow tasks etc
Example SQL:
This SQL is an example of the SQL for the OleDB Data Source (within a Data Flow task)
------------------------------ --RADIUS LOGINS ------------------------------ DECLARE @FromDT AS DATETIME SET @FromDT = CAST(FLOOR( CAST( DATEADD(D, -7, GETDATE()) AS FLOAT ) ) AS DATETIME)
DECLARE @ToDT AS DATETIME SET @ToDT = CAST(FLOOR( CAST( GETDATE() AS FLOAT ) ) AS DATETIME)
DECLARE @Attempts AS BIGINT SET @Attempts = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.Radius_Login_Records WHERE LoggedAt BETWEEN @FromDT AND @ToDT)
DECLARE @Failures AS BIGINT SET @Failures = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.Radius_Login_Records WHERE LoggedAt BETWEEN @FromDT AND @ToDT AND Authen_Failure_Code IS NOT NULL)
DECLARE @Successes AS BIGINT SET @Successes = @Attempts - @Failures
DECLARE @OcaV1Hits AS BIGINT SET @OcaV1Hits = (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT LoginName) FROM dbo.Radius_Login_Records WHERE LoggedAt BETWEEN @FromDT AND @ToDT AND EAPTypeID = 25)
DECLARE @OcaV2Hits AS BIGINT SET @OcaV2Hits = (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT LoginName) AS OcaV2Hits FROM dbo.Radius_Login_Records WHERE LoggedAt BETWEEN @FromDT AND @ToDT AND EAPTypeID = 13)
SELECT @Attempts AS ConnectionAttempts, @Failures AS ConnectionFailures, (CAST(@Successes AS DECIMAL(38,2)) / CAST(@Attempts AS FLOAT) * 100) AS SuccessRate, @OcaV1Hits AS OcaV1Hits, @OcaV2Hits AS OcaV2Hits
Please remember, I'm new to SSIS - so be detailed in your response. Thanks for your help!
I have an OLE DB Source that talks to an Oracle Db and returns back some data. I need to be able to pass some parameters to my query from the SSIS variables.
How can accomplish this ? Do I need to create a stored proc in my Oracle DB..is that the only way I can pass parameters ? Is so how ?
I need to use some parameters in an OLE DB Source like that:
select * from mdm.mdm_pos_hierarchies where dbo.fkt_get_guelt_von (posh_valid_fr) <= dbo.fkt_get_guelt_von (?) and dbo.fkt_get_guelt_bis (posh_valid_to) >= dbo.fkt_get_guelt_bis (?)
The function returns a valid datetime. These parameters normaly works fine, but not with use as funtion-paramerters. I get feeble error messages (by trying to map the parameters) like that:
"Falsche Syntax in der Nähe von ')'. (Microsoft SQL Native Client)" - what means "Wrong syntax near ')'" and says nothing. If i replace the parameters with the mapped value (i.E. '200601') it works fine.
What is the reason for that? It there any solution or a workaround?
I understand that the parser is having issues parsing my second command but I was wonder if anyone had stumbled on a work around for this:
-- OLEDB Source has no problem with this: SELECT * FROM some_table where last_update_dt = ?
-- OLEDB Source errors on this: SELECT * FROM some_table where Convert( char(12), last_update_dt, 112 ) = Convert( char(12), Cast( ? as DateTime), 112 )
The first SQL statement won't return the desired rows because of the wonderful time stamp, the second works well but the provider won't parse it. I have used the "SQL command from variable" to work around this but we have some tables with 200+ columns, so the only way to use the "SQL command from variable" is to do a select *, which I'm trying to avoid, for both performance reasons and company standards.
Provider cannot derive parameter information and SetParameterInfo has not been called. (Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle)
I am getting the above error while opening the parameter box at OLEDB source for Oracle using SQL command option at Data Access Mode?? Can you any one please help me in this regard and trouble shoot this problem..
hi everybody, i want to create data source and data source view for data mining, with using C Sharp. i have create data source and data source view and export to XML file, but when i change to another computer, run those XML file, it return error, when i run statement to create and biuld mining model, what can i change on xml or how to run XML on another computer sucessfully, and have i build data source and data source view, how to do it.?
Today I was making a few reports. When I tested the reports in Visual Studio, they worked great: I got the expected result. But when I deployed the reports to our reportserver the problem started. When I click on the directory in which my reports are deployed, I got my 4 reports. Till now everything worked correct. But when I click on a report to view the results it went wrong. I got an error: "Cannot create a connection to data source 'Live'" (Live is the name of our data source).
We are using the Windows Logons and I am sure that I have all the rights on the server, I gave myself 'sysadmin' rights, so it should work. I also have tried it with all the roles assigned on my account, but then it still won't work.
When I modify the data source, and set it to another server en database it works. The datasource 'Live' exists on a x64 MsSQL server, en the other datasource is on a x86 MsSQL server. Maybe that is the problem?
I was trying to load data using SSIS, Data Flow Task, OLE DB Source, source was a view to a OLE DB Destination (SQL Server). This view returns 420,591 rows from Query Analyzer in 21 seconds. Row length is 925. When I try to executed the Data Flow Task from SSIS, I had to stop the process after 30 minutes, because only 2,000 rows had been retrieved. I modified the view to retun top 440, 000 and reran. This time all 420, 591 rows were retrieved and written in 22 seconds. Next, I tried to use a TOP 100 Percent. Again, only 2,000 rows were return after 30 minutes. TempDB is on a separate SAN Raid group with 200 gig free, Databases on a separate drive with 200 gig free. Server has 13 gig of memory and no other processes were executing.
The only way I could populate the table was by using an Execute SQL Task and hard code an Insert into table selecting data from the view (35 seconds) from SSIS.
Have anyone else experience this or a similar issue? Anyone have a solutionexplanation?
(I have searched this forum extensively, but still can't find the solution to this problem)
Here it is:
I have step in my ETL process that gets facts from another database. Here is how I set it up:
1) I have to package variables called User::startDate and User::endDate of data type datetime
2) Two separate Execute SQL Tasks populate those variables with appropriate dates (this works fine)
3) Then I have a Data Flow Task with OLE DB source that uses a call to a sproc of the form "exec ETL_GetMyData @startDate = ?, @endDate = ?" with parameters mapped accordingly (0 -> User::startDate, 1 -> User::endDate)
When I run this I get an error 0xC0207014: "The SQL command requires a parameter named "@startDate", which is not found in the parameter mapping."
It is true that the sproc in fact requires @startDate and @endDate parameters, so next thing I tried to do is call the sproc the following way: "exec ETL_GetMyData @startDate = ?, @endDate = ?"
To no avail. It gives me the same error. Incidentally, when I hard code both dates like "exec ETL_GetMyData '2006-04-01', '2006-04-02'" everything works well.
Also, I want to mention that in the first two cases, I get an error right in the editor. When I try to parse the statement it gives me "Invalid parameter number" message.
This has been such a pain in my neck. I've waisted the whole day trying to monkey with the various parts of package/statements to get this to work and it still doesn't. I dont' want to say anything about Integration Services design right now, but you probably know what I'm thinking...

How can I run a single SP by asking multiple sales question eitherby using the logical operator AND for all the questions; or usingthe logical operator OR for all the questions.

The only solution I can think oflooks pretty bad to me. I would use a cursor, run each row at atime, store a TRUE, FALSE value to stop processing or not andstore the result in another detail table. Then if all ANDquestions have ended with TRUE do a union of all the result andreturn the common list of employees. It sounds pretty awful as anapproach. I am hoping there's a simpler method for achieving this.Does anyone know if any SQL book has a topic on this type ofquery? If so I'll definitely buy the book.I appreciate any help you can provide.Thank you
