I am new to using SSIS (after using DTS on SQL Server 2000 for many years).
I am trying for the first time to connect to an Oracle 9.2 database and export data from it into SQL Server 2005.
I used the Microsoft OLE DB Oracle Provider to connect to the Oracle instance. The test connection works fine, but when I try and preview a table or copy data from Oracle I get the error....
I am trying to build a Data Warehouse using SSIS in SQL Server 2005. My source data is in Oracle RDB. Now when I am trying to connect to oracle RDB using the OLE DB Source component, I am getting the following error.
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Oracle client and networking componenets were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle Corporation and part of the Oracle Version 7.3.3 or late client software installtion.
Provider is unable to funtion until these components are installed.
I did install the Oracle RDB client software .Apparently it looks like Microsoft OLE DB for Oracle supports Oracle 7.3.3 and above. At the same time I tried to use ODBC for Oracle RDB driver from ODBC data sources. But the OLE DB Source Component in SSIS can't recognize ODBC. So now I am stuck on how to load the data from Oracle RDB to SQL Server 2005 staging area.
Any thoughts on this would be really appreciated. Ideally we are looking to port the data directly from Oracle RDB to SQL Server without any intermediate flat files (flat files etc)
Can anybody point me how to connect to an Oracle DB using SSIS? I use the ole DB Connection Manager and pick the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions are greatly apprecaited.
I am trying to connect to a Oracle 9i Server to execute a sql task, but the connection when tested seems to fail with the following error from the Integration Services Project:
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. ERROR [NA000][Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
ERROR[0100][Microsoft ODBC Driver Manager] The driver does not support the version of ODBC behavior that the application requested (see SQLSetEnvAttr).
The connection was configured and tested from Oracle's SQLPlus session. Please note that the port that the TNS Server is listening is not the default. Is there somewhere I can specify the port in the SSIS connection manager to resolve the issue.
I have tried OLEDB connection and that does not work either.
I have a unique problem while connecting to oracle source with a 64 bit processor. I can connect to the oracle from the command prompt in the 64 bit processor but not from SSIS.
The acutal problem is, when check the properties of the connection manager and provide a provider for oracle, and then provide username and password and click on test connection. I get the following error:
"Test Connection failed because of an error in initializing provider.ORA-06413: Connection not open"
In BI Tool SSIS Packages run fine and get data From Oracle and Save it in SQL Server.
Package Protection Level is EncryptSensitivewithPassword.
In BI tool when i open the package it ask password and then run fine.
If i change the Protection Level to Dont save Sensitive,
It does not run fine in even BI tool.
It is fine if i use EncryptSensitivewithPassword.in BI Tool and run it.
Now the problem is that i need to run this package through SQL Job.
so Job give error
"Failed to decrypt an encrypted XML node because the password was not specified or not correct. Package load will attempt to continue without the encrypted information."
I have an issue using parameterised reports connecting to Oracle using "ODBC" and "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" using parameteried reports. The following error is generated "ORA-01008 not all variables bound (Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle)" and a similiar one for ODBC. It works fine for simple reports. Do these 2 drivers have issues passing parameters for a remote Oracle query? Thanks.
Hi, i need to build some way of connecting Oracle to SQL Server in order to pull data off Oracle and house it temporarily on SQL 2000 for searching.
Basically we've built an intranet using ASP and SQL 2000 and which also pulls data off Oracle, however our connection to Oracle is very slow so an idea to speed it up would be to have SQL store a temporary snapshot of this data and the ASP site query off the fast connection it has to SQL rather than use our slow connection to Oracle.
This temporary snapshot of Oracle data would be stored on SQL 2000 and updated on a scheduled basis.
Any ideas how to do this, or a better way to work this?
Thing is I tried installing the Official Oracle ODBC & Client software on our SQL 2000 server before and it just took out SQL 2000 so would really like to hear other options.
Hello all, I'm using a OLE DB Connection Manager to Oracle (I've installed the client) and using Oracle Native OLE DB Provider.
The problem was the view In Oracle I'm returning a column that uses a fuction on a numeric field in the the select part of the statement, and by this, the Precition is not displayed when I'm trying to look at the data types of the fields in the view. The Precision is shown as 0 in the external field part of the component. I have read the previous post concerning the problem connecting to Oracle Using the Oracle provider, and solved it by using the Microsoft provider, but still I have a question about the oracle provider: I changed the precision on the External column (from 0 to 15) and also an the Output column, but now I'm getting an error on about error output not matching: Error 6 Validation error. Data Flow Task: OLE DB Source 1 [8970]: The output column "UPDATE_TIME_NUM" (9333) on the non-error output has no corresponding output column on the error output. Dim_registered_user.dtsx 0 0 I cannot change the error output datatype, cannot delete it or do anything at all. Is there a way to fix the problem?
Hello Everyone, I€™m getting a problem in SCD connecting to oracle DB.
I had set the OLE DB Input Output Properties Tab And mapped the columns in Column Mappings Tab Every thing is taken care according to Type 2 load But every time I run the job its inserting the records rather than updating it or ignoring if not find any new or changed records from source.
This might seems a little 'out there', but has anyone tried doing ETL from an Oracle 10g ODS into an Oracle 10g DW, and from there into SSAS2005 cubes?
Could anyone please guide me in detail to connect Oracle Forms 9i/10g with MS SQL Server database? To connect with Oracle Database, we need to copy and paste the tnsnames.ora file from the Oracle Database folder to the Oracle Forms folder. But how do i connect with other databases like SQL Server, MS Access, and so on? Thanks in advance.
I used the Microsoft OLEDB provider for oracle from the dropdown,
The username and password I have also. I tried to enter in the Xtx20xxx as the server name, clicked "Properties"
put in the username and password I can given and clicked "Test Connection". No matter what I get the infamous ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name error message. I am sure I am missing something obvious here but I have absolutely no clue and all the googling in the world has not given me any help. I do have the Oracle 10g client tools installed on this workstation (running Windows XP Prof SP2 and SQL 2005 STD).
While upgrading several packages from DTS 2000 to SSIS I came across a couple of packages where the source data comes from an Oracle DB. Until now I have not migrated data from an Oracle source.
When I tried to create a new connection I got the error: "System.Data.Oracle client requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater."
This is being developed on a machine that would not have any oracle drivers before now, so I THOUGHT it would be as simple as downloading the drivers, but the resolution seems to be much more complex than that. When I researched it, it appeared that I needed to download the Oracle 9i software. The installation is about 10 GB and this seemed like overkill to just be able to connect to a database.
Is this in fact the correct solution? If so, or even if not, can I get a quick run down of the steps involved, and anyone's experience (problems, etc..) on the topic?
I have installed MS SQL Server 2005 and Service Pack 2 on a new Windows 32-bit environment. I also installed the 32-bit 10g client (the Administrator option). The tnsnames.ora file is configured properly and I can tnsping to the Oracle database without any issues. I have created a package in Visual Studio and it runs successfully when I execute the job manually. I saved the package to the MS SQL Server and when I log into Management Studio to create a job for this package, I receive the following error:

I have created the package and logged into the server with the same ID to set up the job. And I have set the ProtectionLevel property to "Don't Save Sensitive Data" since I know this has been an issue in the past when I tried automating the job.
Hi all, I need to connect with the Oracle Database for the Reports application. But i am unable to do the same. I am getting errors like ORA-12514,ORA-06401 while trying it. (1) Please tell me about any extra settings need to be done in the listener.ora,tnsnames.ora for getting SSRS connected with the Oracle DB. (2) Tell me the format of the connection string to be used for the connection with the Oracle database. (3) Also which datasource has to used.. Oracle / Microsft OLEDB provider for Oracle for the Same.
I am working on a project for a professor. The project entails designing and creating a database. We were given individual space on the schools database server and we were given SSH secure shell to connect and manage our respective databases. I took it upon myself to try out SQL Server Express. Using the management studio I am trying to connect to my school database and can€™t seem to figure it out. Can someone please give a noob some simple and quick instructions on how to achieve this?
Thank you,

Are there generalized best practices with regards to which method/provider to use when accessing an Oracle database? I have used both the "Native OLE DBMicrosoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" and the "Native OLE DBOracle Provider for OLE DB" and both seem to have their own quirks (requirement to convert to Unicode, etc) but I also have heard that I shouldn't be using an "OLE DB" source at all, but to set it up as an ADO .Net connection.
We are just beginning to implement SSIS, and are trying to establish Best Practices/Standards etc.
Are there any gotchas - performance and/or otherwise I should know about?
I'm using Reporting Services 2005 and I can view the report in Visual Studio using the preview tab. After I deploy the report and datasource, when I try to view the report on the report server is says that I must have Oracle Client version 8.xx or higher.
I have the same Oracle Client Version on my local machine and the Report Server with the same DataSource name set up for Oracle on both machines.
Any ideas why this would work on my local machine but not the Report Server?
I am trying to pull data from an Oracle 9i database to my SQL Server 2005 sp1 database on Windows 2003 64bit Itanium server. Each time I try to use the import wizard, select the Microsoft OLE DB driver for Oracle, I get an error message telling me that the Oracle client tools are not installed. This happened after I had already installed the 9i tools, tested the connection using TNSPING and confirmed the tnsnames file was correct. So, I uninstalled the 9i tools and then installed the 10g client tools. Tested everything after the install and then tried the import again selecting the MS OLE DB driver for Oracle. I again got the error message that the Oracle tools were not installed.
has anyone ran into this problem and if so, were you able to fix it?
Hi, I have my datasource in Oracle9i and destination is Sql2005. I am connecting to Oracle 9i through OLEDb provider and when I connect to my DataSource using OLE DB Data Source, I get the following error:
Warning at "guid code": Cannot retreive the column code page info from the oledb provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale Id will be used.
Could anyone please help me trouble shoot this problem.
I have created a DTS package that pulls data in from Oracle into SQLServer. When I run it directly on the server (from EnterpriseManager), it works fine. When I run it from Enterprise Manager on aclient machine that does not have the Oracle client software, it doesnot run, giving me the error: "The Oracle client and networkingcomponents were not found...". I was hoping I wouldn't need to havethe client software installed on a machine other than the server whereSql Server is running. The problem here is that there are a number ofmachines from where I would like to execute this DTS package that I donot want to install/configure the Oracle client software. I don'tquite understand why the configuration of the client is importanthere. In my mind, when I am using enterprise manager from a clientmachine, I am using it sort of like a terminal services client toconnect to the server. I guess there is a lot more happening in thebackground.Thanks for any feedback,Marcus
Hi, I'm new to SSRS but have a problem connecting to Oracle. I have placed my reports upon a reporting server but the shared data connection isn't working and I'm confused as to why. I have specified the name, connection type as "Oracle", set the correct user id and password for the credentials and the connection string as for example 'Data Source=oracleExample;Unicode="True"'. I also have set the correct entry in the tnsnames.ora file for this datasource, example: "oracleExample = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 12.23.45.23)(PORT = 3425)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = oracle) ) )" Unfortunately I receive the following error when trying to connect. "
An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'oracleDataSource'.
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
"
I'm mystified as to what the issue is. Any ideas? Would restarting the report server pick up the tnsnames.ora file? I have this working locally using report designer. Any help, much appreciated.
Anybody have a clear idea why I might have problems connecting from reporting services to Oracle 9i database using the Microsoft ODBC driver? Getting following error "Cannot create a connection to data source 'oracleName'.
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
"
I have the data source correctly set-up thought. Is it a permissions problem?
But when we try to connect using the above connection string we get teh following error:
"Test Connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. ERROR [IM004][Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed"
we are not getting wat is the problem. we are able to connect to this DB2 database from the same DB2 server but we are not able to connect to the server from a remote machine.
If I log into the SQL server with my credentials and connect to SSIS through SQL Management Studio, I'm able to execute my test SSIS package successfully.
If I go to my machine and try to connect to SSIS "Integration Services..." I get "Access Denied" message.
If I execute the same package via DTEXECUI, the package errors out also.
My account is member of the group "Security_IT_Data", this group has sysadmin privileges on the SQL Server level.
The account used to run the SSIS Service is part of the Local Admin group on the box and also a sysadmin on the SQL Server.
I just installed a default instance of SS 2005 and applied the most recent service pack, release date March 5th, SQLServer2005SP2-KB921896-x64-ENU.exe.
All services are running as localsystem. When I try to connect to SSIS through Management Studio on the local machine I receive the following error.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi All, We have 64 bit win 2003 & sql2005 EE sp2.. I managed how to trick VS2005 with Oracle connections and have converted a lot of packages already from sql 2000 to sql 2005(using Oracle connetions as well), now I stack with one oracle connection manager... So just to clarify, we have SSIS on same SQL server installed, as well have this one Oracle server set as linked server(using Oracle client isntalled), I'm working with BIDS on this server as well..So, when I created connection manager and test connection - it succeeded.. Now after creating rest in ssis and trying to debug.. I'm getting :
[Connection manager "PRD02.genericuser"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified". What could be a reason of this error, if test connection is working fine, as well preview of data....??? Just in case I tried to create connection manager by using Oracle provider for OLE DB as well as Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle..same things, connection is tested fine in both cases, preview is Okay, when start to debugging - problems...
I have 4 named instances of SQL 2005 running on one of our sales server (dont ask me why I have 4 instances.Its a beefy box btw). All the instances have SSIS Packages (around 6-7 in each instance) saved to the SQL server and not to the file system. The issue is every time i need to look at the packages or export the packages from SSMS I have to edit the MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml and type in the named instance name within the <ServerName></ServerName> tag . I then have to restart my SSIS. I dont see an easier approach to this method.
This is causing me a lot of unnecessary time waste. is there anyway this can be automated where in i can pass the instance name dynamically to the ini file or even more best, can I have all the instance names in the ini file and some how look at the packages in each Instance. I am not sure how having all the instance names in the ini file woud resolve the issue though.
I know I can use BIDS which is much more flexible and a recommended approach but need a solution for looking at SSIS packages through SSMS in all of the 4 instances. I look forward to recommendations from anyone who have better ideas and suggestions.
