SSIS, BIDS And Temporary Files
Feb 1, 2007
Why are some SSIS files, generated by the Import/Export Data wizard put into the local users temp folder? Why are these not compiled with the package when the solution is built?
Is there some setting I am missing?
This architecture is kind of silly, as the server always needs access to the temp folder on the local machine to run.
How can I get these temp files packaged with the rest of the package and deployed to the server so the server can run independent of the machine I develop the package on?
Thanks,
Jeff

I have created a package within SQL Server SSIS which includes an FTP Task, deployed it to our SQL Server (2005 SP1) msdb database and am running this job under SQL Agent on Windows Server 2003. Due to company security requirements this job has to be run under a service account within SQL Agent. The problem with this is that even though a directory is specified within the FTP Task to place any downloaded files into, the files are first written to the TIF (Temporary Internet Files) directory of "Default User" which is on the system drive. Based on corporate standards the system drive (C:) on our servers are only configured with enough space for the OS and other system files. All of the files being transferred are compressed, but some are still well over 1GB in size. The result is that many of our downloads are failing due to the system drive running out of space.
I have attempted to run IE by using "Run As" with the service account credentials, and have changed the location of the TIFs to a different drive, rebooted and verified the settings. When the SQL Agent job was run again, the files were still being written to the "Default User" directory on the system drive. I also created a new template account with the TIFs pointing to a non-system drive and used the User Profiles functionality of System Properties to copy the new template account to "Default User", but still the files are being written to the system drive.
My questions are:
is there a way to stop the FTP Task from using TIF (i.e. just directly write the file to the location specified)
is there a best practice around how to setup a service account and have it create a proper user profile that can be managed separate from "Default User"
short of specifying during the OS install, is there a way to move the "Default User" profile directory to a different drive

I'm currently experiencing major problems with SSIS when opening and editing large .DTSX package files that contain Exec DTS 2000 Tasks which have the package data loaded internally. I have no issues if I point the task to a .DTS file, or to an actual DTS package on a SQL 2000 server - but if I load the package internally then once the underlying .DTSX file gets over around 17MB or so in size (which doesnt take long making a few edits to even fairly simple packages now and then), I start to experience major issues with VS/BIDS 2005 crashing randomly when I try to perform any action with the package (open, save etc). Things like OutOfMemory exception errors, followed by the properties of Exec DTS 2000 task being deleted, and also sometimes accompanied by messages about the application not being installed properly.
Again its ONLY when the underlying .DTSX file reaches a certain size limit, and only when I've got an Exec DTS 2000 task with the package loaded internally. I've replicated the issue using several different package files on several different machines (even on servers with lots of memory, fwiw).
Can anyone out there help me with this? SSIS - namely SSIS Exec DTS 2000 package tasks - are our lifeblood at my company and this trend of random and serious crashing on large package files is very disturbing to say the least.
thanks,
Wil

I've been using replication for a long while now but have never come across this error. It's a basic transactional replication from ServerA to ServerB, where ServerA is also the distributor. Everything had been running fine on it until yesterday, when this error started popping up and no further transactions could be delivered.
After some quick googling I was able to determine that the distribution agent account needed write access to C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100Com. According to the MSFT article it's because the distribution agent is running under a non-default profile. I didn't change this. However, what I did change around the time that these errors started occurring was the server's Replication Max Test Size setting. It would be far too coincidental for this to not be the cause, but what I don't understand is *why* that would have changed it.
how do I change this? It is definitely not preferable to create temp files in this directory in our environment.

I would like to report what appears to me to be a bug. I found it while researching an answer for another thread. http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=554926&SiteID=17
Since that thread has not received any further replies I thought I would start a new one to see what answer we can get from MS as well as if anyone else would care to reproduce.
The bug is not a major one and the work around is easy, but it can be annoying.
The bug is this: if I open an SSIS package in BIDS (RTM or SP1) and the only change I make is adding or modifying an annotation and then click on Save and then close BIDS does not save the new annotation or changes made to existing annotations. If I change something other than an annotation then BIDS does save the annotations with the package.
A careful observer will notice that when opening a package and then modifying or adding an annotation that BIDS does not even register that the package has been changed. This is evident by the lack of the trailing asterisk in the title bar after the package name.
In summary if I go into a package for the sole purpose of adding and/or modifying annotations they will not get saved. Workaround: modify something else in the package and then save.

I have a virtual machine that previously had SQL Server 2005 installed. Since I changed the computer name, I have to reinstall SQL. I removed all the SQL components and am trying to reinstall the database and reporting components. The installation is failing on the "Removing temporary files" step. According to the setup progress screen, the following components have been installed:
OWC11
SQL Server Bakcward-Compatibility Files
SQL Server Database Services
Reporting Services
Visual Studio Integrated Development
SQL Server Books Online
SQLXML4
Workstation Components, Books Online - this step is still in "configuring components" status.
The virtual machine is running Windows 2003 Server SP1 with all current patches, using just under 2 GB of memory (1920 MB of RAM), the host is Windows XP SP2 with all current patches, with 4 GB of memory.
I had no problem doing this procedure on a different virtual machine, so I'm not sure what the problem is here.

This seems to ba a common problem, but none of the things I have tried seems to work.
I built a simple job in SSIS. It performs a select against an Oracle 10g db and returns the data to a table in SQL server 2005.

Hi,
I have been working on an SSIS project for sometime now. The project files are located on a remote server. Suddenly I am not able to open the solution I get a lot of error messages and all the data flow taks are gone. I later found out that SSIS encrypts packages, so that other users will not be able to see them. Fine, but I have been using the same windows user account for months now. What could be the problem?
This is what I get when trying to open the solution:
There were errors while the package was being loaded.
The package might be corrupted.
See the Error List for details.
And the error list also contains messages saying "Could not load from xml".
Any pointers will be much appreciated.
TIA

We are using SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition SP2. I have a fixed-length flat file import spec created in SQL Server Mgmt Studio using the Import wizard. I then created an Integration Sevices project in BIDS and added the existing SQL Server package created with the wizard to the project. When I try to edit the package with the SSIS designer, it does not appear to handle the package properly. That is, only some of the fields are selected (and when I select all the available fields, still only some show up in the detail pane of the Input Columns tab), the data types are incorrect, and the starting location (it's a fixed length file, remember) for each field (LineageID?) is incorrect. My understanding is that, with Workgroup Edition, there are only two ways, other than say programmatically from a VB program, to run the package: (1) by creating a SQL Agent job or from a BIDS project. I have seen a Cumulative Update package (#2) for SP2 that mentions some problems in BIDS' handling of SSIS pkgs, but the symptoms are in no way similar to this. Can anyone tell me what is going on here?? Thanks.

There seems to be a BUG in BIDS when developing SSIS packages using the Import/Export Data wizard.
If you use the wizard to import a large number of tables, and then select all the tables, and then choose to delete exisiting data in each table, the PrologueSQL file does NOT get built correctly. Instead of having a
TRUNCATE tablename Go
for each table, it just has a bunch of "Go"s with nothing between them. In the step immediately prior, where you confirm what the wizard will do, it tells you, after each table, that it will delete any existing data...but it doesn't do this.
If, during the wizard, I select each individual table one at a time and tell it to delete existing data, then it will get built correctly, but not if I select them all at once...YET, if I do select the whole block, choose delete existing data, and then select any single table, it shows that table as being set up to delete existing rows.
This is very frustrating when trying to import large numbers of tables.
Am I missing something? or is this really a bug?
Thanks, Jeff

Hi,
I'm just starting off in SSIS and have a question that I can't find an answer to...
I'm loading in a number of files (in separate Data Flows) and performing some transformations on them before merging them back together. What I'm not sure about is what I should be doing with the data at the end of each of my "Import Data From XXXX Flat File" Data Flows. Am I better off using OLE DB Destinations (or SQL Server Destinations) and saving this intermediate data to temporary tables, or am I better off using a Raw File Destinations and saving this intermediate data to files? Or is there, perhaps, a better option that I'm currently unaware of?
If the Raw File Destination is the way to go, then isn't there a maintenance issue with cleaning up all the files created? And will there not be a management issue to ensure that there is sufficient disc space available on the drive you are saving to?
I'm a bit confused and overwhelmed by SSIS at the moment, so any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Lawrie.

I'm working on a fairly straight forward data transfer package and have found that the package runs dramatically faster when I run the package inside BIDS than with DTExec. When I run the package on the server using debug in BIDS, the job completes 1 million rows in around 6 minutes. When I run DTExec with the same package on the same server it is much slower and the package takes roughly 25 minutes to complete.
I know this sounds crazy and that it's supposed to be the other way around with DTExec running much faster, but I'm stumped as to what could be causing the issue. The machine this is running on is a two processor, dual core CPU with GB of RAM and I'm using terminal server to login and create the package with BIDS on SQL Server 2005 SP2.
The main feature of this package is a Foreach container that uses an ADO record set to loop over a set of values from a control table. There are a large number of iterations so the package loops frequently, but the data flow task is fairly simple and uses an OLEDB source and OLEDB destination to transfer data between two SQL Server 2005 databases.
The package works in either BIDS and DTExec, but I'm really puzzled why it would run so much faster inside BIDS?
Thanks in advance,
-Russ

I have developed a simple SSIS Package that will export data from an AS400 iSeries server to a flat file. When I try to debug the package I receive this error. I have tried to change the security level of the package to EncryptAllWithPassword and specified a password. For some reason the password for the connection to the AS400 is not being retained. when I enter the password the following error disappears when I try to debug the package the error returns.
Does anyone know how to correct this? Thanks in advance for your help.
Things to also know:
I am using a Native OLE DBIBM AS400 OLE DB Provider w/user name and password (Allow saving password checked) Test Connection succeeded.
I am using a OLE DB Source to extract the data with Data Access Mode of Table or View. When I try to select a table I am prompted from the AS400 to enter password. Then I can see the tables.
I can select the columns I need and click OK to save.

BIDS hangs when I open any SSIS packages. "Microsoft Visual Studio Is Busy" message displays in the system tray. It indicates that Microsoft Visual Studio is waiting for an internal operation to complete; however, it never seems to complete. I have recycled the server hoping to break it loose, however nothing seems to free it up. I have not had this situation before and I cannot figure out why it is having problems. BIDS shows it is "Validating Data Flow Task". Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Would it be a true statement that whenever you use BIDS to alter a SSIS package the source has to be available because verification and validation is always done on the source and destination? If the source were not available could that cause the hang in BIDS???

If in BIDS I set "work offline" on to change an SSIS package, the connections for source and destination had already been build. Can I move this package to another server and execute it without going into BIDS and changing the switch back?

Hi,
I have created a package that has
2 SQL Execute Task, One Loop container, 2 Data Flow tasks, 1 Foreach loop container, 1 ftp task. The data flow tasks has 1 oledb source, 1 flat file source, 1 row count transformation, 1 recordset destination and 1 oledb destination.
When I load the package into BIDS it takes 125 MB of memory and then everything is slow, the properties panel slides in slowly and exists slowly. The object is the packages are not painted properly. to make changes and run takes lot of time.
Am I doing anything wrong here? Why is it consuming so much of memory?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a SSIS package that contains a DTS 2000 package in it. The DTS 2000
package imports data into several tables from an ODBC data source. When I
execute the package through BIDS, no problems. Everything works great. I am
now trying to execute the SSIS package in my stored procedure & it gives me
the following error:
Error: 2007-01-30 11:54:24.06
Code: 0x00000000
Source: Populate IncrTables
Description: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040427):

at
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.Exec80PackageTask.Exec80PackageTask.ExecuteThread()
End Error
I did a search for this & found KB 904796. It had the exact error message
but I don't believe my packages uses 2000 metadata services. Just to be
safe, I reinstalled the backward compatibility features & the DTS 2000 tools
on the server. That still did not fix anything. I found another forum that
suggested loading the DTS 2000 package internally, which I did & it did not
fix anything. I am using a password for the protection level so that is not
causing my issue. Does anyone else have any suggestions as to what I might be
able to try?
SQL 2005 Dev Ed SP1 & post SP1 hotfixes installed

I have an SSIS package with around 25 lookups. Developing the package itself was slow. Now, everytime I try to load the package it takes forever and whenever I execute it I get an error.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there a way I can optimize the package?
2. Is it abnormal to have so many lookups? I am loading a dimension table with many fields and I need to look up on 25 tables to get the keys. I know one alternative is to use left joins in the source query and get the keys in the Source itself but we can have more visibility of what's happenning with Lookups. I would like to know other possibilities with lookups.
Thanks,

Hi -
I have been trying to work with a data flow task that uses temporary tables on the remote DB.
I have seen Jamie Thompson's SSIS Temporary table guide, available here: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2006/11/19/SSIS_3A00_-Using-temporary-tables.aspx, and successuflly got his download package working against my AdventureWorksDB.
I cannot get a temporary table implementation working in my SSIS package despite following JT instructions.
Current status:
Marked the OLEDB connection as retainsameconnection = true
Created a seperate execute sql task in control flow that creates the temporary table '#BUSessions'
A data flow task follows the execute sql task, the ole db source is marked a delayvalidation = true
At this point, I try to enter the query using the interface, validation kicks in and says this object is invalid. If I try to use the properties window to set sqlCommand and manually enter the query then an error icon appears on the Ole Db Source.
Can anyone help me with this?!?! I'd really appreciate it! The query provided to me (for the remote DB) uses temporary tables and I have little say in this...
p.s. - I have also ensured I manually create the global temporary table with same name before starting this process.

Does SSIS (other than, maybe, via the Execute SQL task) support the idea of temporary tables? (I want to make a backup of production data (in temproary tables), truncate the production tables, and populate them with new data. If an error happens in the process, I'd copy the temporary backup tables back into the production tables. When the process has ended the temporary tables should "vanish")
TIA,

I am new to the SQL Server platform - coming from a Solaris/Informix/DataStage environment. In DataStage there is a function called a "Hash" file that acts as a temporary holding place for data. This hash file can be used to (1) perform lookups on tables and (2) perform calculations and manipulations before the data is populated into the destination (i.e table, flat file, etc.) Also by using this hash file, the processing time is faster.
Is there such a function within SSIS that can temporarily store the data and allow transformations before it is loaded into the destination?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I'd like to create a temporary table (# or ## table) and have it available in DataFlow to work with it. I see I can create it using "Execute SQL Task" component in ControlFlow; but it's not available in DataFlow. It seems it should be created by a DataFlow component to be seen in the same DataFlow.
Any Idea on this?

Hi everybody.
I'm looking to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition). I'm interested in using SSIS, SSRS and SSAS. I hear that BIDS runs inside of Visual Studio 2005, and comes with the SQL 2005 software. I currently have VS 2003. My question is: Do I need to purchase anything besides SQL Server 2005 Standard, or do I need to buy anything separately, like VS 2005? (if so, which version would you recommend?)
Thank you very much!

I've been tasked with coming up with a process to delete old files out of a certain directory. It's prefered to have a configuration file to go in and be able to change the number of days to retain files (7 for delete files older than 7 days for example). I've been told I can do this with SSIS. Can anybody point me in the right direction to do this in SSIS or even in DOS? I don't know ActiveX scripting if that's what's needed in SSIS. I prefer doing something like this in DOS but not sure it's possible to automate. Any help is appreciated.
