I applied the DTS Migraiton Wizard to a DTS package and it worked fine with one BIG exception. The DTS package imports a fixed-width record, length about 1500 bytes, with 60+ "parse" lines (one per field). The migrated SSIS package did not preserve any of the parse structure. That's alot of error prone worke to recreate and we have another 3 DTS packages based on the same parsing. Any suggestions on how to preserve the parsing structure in SSIS?
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Enterprise x64 and when attempting to migrate a DTS from our SQL Server 2000 Standard x86 server I received the following error message:
DTS Migration Wizard Error
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Exec80PackageTask, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' or one of it's dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Click Abort to stop the migration of the current package.
Click Retry to retry the operation.
Click Skip to skip the migration of the current task and continue to the next task.
From the error message, it would appear something did not install or register correctly. Any idea on what is missing and how I can fix it?
In Visual Studion I invoke the wizard, indicate the source for the DTS packages and pick a folder for the migrated package but I don't get a list of my source packages. Instead, I get the error message, 'index out of range, must be non negative, parameter name index(mscorlib)'.
Has anyone ever gotten this error. What does it mean and how can I fix it?
From SQL Server Management Studio I right click on Management/Legacy/DTS and select Migration Wizard and enter a SQL Server Source and Destination. A list of DTS packages from the source server is displayed and I select one of the DTS packages and give the destination a unique name. The wizard runs and says it's successful. I can't find the new SSIS version of the DTS package with the new name that I've given it, however. Where does it put the new migrated copy of the DTS package.
I ran the upgrade advisor on a SQL Server 2000 DTS package and received the following:
Upgrade Function: Replace functionality of complex Data Transformation task encapsulated in Execute DTS 2000 Package task after package migration Message: The SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) Package Migration Wizard does not migrate complex Data Transformation tasks in SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS) packages. The migrated package will contain encapsulated DTS functionality that must eventually be removed or redesigned.
When I run the Migration Wizard, it runs successfully, with no encapsulated DTS fuctionality that I can see. As far as I can tell from comparing the two, it looks like it migrated successfully without any help from me! I'm not familiar with the business logic of the DTS package, so am worried that I'm missing something.
Is it possible for the Upgrade advisor to be wrong? Are there any advanced or random screens that I can check for something that might not have migrated correctly?
Thanks for any insight that you can provide! Jessica
Thanks to Sean for helping me find the migrated packages. I'd like to edit one of the connections on a bunch of packages that I migrated. I see in the Run Package there are configuration options that would allow me to mofify the connection string at that point in time, but I would like to modify the package so it has the new connection string. I was thinking I could access it in BI Dev studio, but I'm not sure how to get to it. I suppose I could migrate to a file and then edit the file prior to importing, but I'm curious if there's a way I can modify the packages that show up under Integration Services/Stored Packages/MSDB.
It appears that the migration wizard is not installed with the developer edition of SQL 2005. I have installed another version of SQL 2005 and have run through the migration wizard.
With what editions of SQL Server the migartion wizard comes as a default ?
I am unable to migrate any DTS packages, from a SQL Server 2000 package, from a structured storage file, or from a DTS package imported into SQL2005 (Developer Edition, 32 bit). Running the Package Migration Wizard, every time I get to the List Package screen, i get the error below. I haven't found any other mention of this so far. Anyone else seen this error or have suggestions?
I am trying to import data from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005
The Data schemas are the same in both (tables, relationships, key and triggers).
Using the wizard I am trying to import data from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. The issue I face is to manage the Idenity columns. I do not want the identity values from the SQL 2000 DB which may be at say 5000, instead I want to use the identity values from the SQL 2005 database which will problably start at 1
Is there a way to do this, should I use a custom query instead of a direct table dump. If using a custom query do I need to just specify a Select query or does it have to be a specific "INSERT INTO Table ..." type query
If I do import the data directly with Identity "ON" how can I advance the identity column value to current +1 on the SQL 2005 table.
I use the DTS 2000 Migration Wizard to migrate one of the DTS 2000 packages to SSIS. The migration failed with the following error message:

Looking at the call stack, it looks like COM wrapper fails on SaveToXML. Can someone tell me how I should workaround this problem?
p.s. Does anyone have any needles I can borrow? I think sticking them in my eyes would be nicer than working with SSIS.

I have a problem with this ActiveX Script. I need to find out why I'm getting this error message: "retrieving the file name for a component failed with error code ..." I think it has something to do with my global variable setting. Am I right? Help please.
I am currently in the process of migrating my DTS packages to SSIS---one at a time---and have come accross the following error during the excecution of a "Copy SQL Server Objects Task". The exact error is:
[Transfer SQL Server Objects Task] Error: Execution failed with the following error: "Version80 database compatibility level is not supported.".
What I am doing with this particular task is to copy a table(s) from another SQL Server, to the current SQL Server. The original location is a SQL2000 DB table. In the near future the source server for this table will be a SQL 2005 server but not until the current migration has been completed.
I have looked at all of the properties, but can not find anything relating to the db compatibilty level. Is there an easier way? Or a setting that I can change to accomplish what I am trying?
Hi everybody, I would REALLY appreciate it if some had a link to a good tutorial about migration from DTS to SSIS, but without visual studio . net. For example I need to use DTS package in sql server 2005 and execute them, I used migration wizard (SQL 2005) but it didn't work because i have in my computer sql 2000 et sql 2005 and the server name is PC2, however when i use the server source PC2 and the server destination PC2 an error message appear "server destination should be a sql server 2005 instance ".
help me please.. Thanks very much anyone response my question.
Have migrated my SQL 2000 DTS packages to SSIS packages through the package migration Wizard.Also, the hurdle to schedule it as a job has been resolved.But, the concern is the package contains entrieslins for old dataserver.
Is it possible to edit the SSIS pckage using management studio or integration services?
I just moved to SQL 2005 and am facing a difficulty trying to build a DTS Package using SSIS Projects. I need to migrate data from an old Database design to a new Database design in my local pc.
Can anyone provide me some guidelines or tutorials on which components to use and a flow of the entire process which I should follow? I am confused.
Thanks alot in advance, hope to hear from you guys soon.
I am in a situation where we are redesigning our Datawarehouse. Currently we have our Datawarehouse in SQL 2000 and we are rebuilding from scratch in SQL 2005. This means that even though we will get the same tables but we are planning to rename each & every attribute to make it more meaningful.
The question is like this:
We can migrate the current DTS packages to SSIS but since all the ODBC connections , field names(attributes) will change is it worth it to leverages the DTS packages ?
Also we convert the julian date to gregorian date in our DTS packages but since SSIS has a feature to convert julian date it would be redundant to migrate the packages and my feeling is to create new packages in SSIS and start on a clean slate.
Its probably a little late for this kind of question but, I'm converting several DTS packages over to SSIS and in the conversion I have the ability to run tasks as 'Execute DTS 2000 Package'. My question is, should I use that or do a full re-write of the flows to use the SSIS tasks?
So far I've been removing anything pertaining to SQL 2000 and adding the SSIS tasks. Its becoming very time consuming this way due to some of the DTS packages have a lot of tasks/flows. Is it the best way to do this or should I just use the DTS migration Wizard and then leave the .dtsx files alone once they're created from the wizard?
I am in the process of moving my ssis package development to a new machine. I have zipped up all of my development/solution files and put them on the new machine...put them in place...but when I try to test them within Visual Studio I am getting a build error that says
Error 3 Cannot create the output file "C:Documents and SettingsmandolinMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005ProjectsTransfer and Load Enrollment DataTransfer and Load Enrollment DatainCUP Enrollment Data Pickup.dtsx": The device is not ready. . 0 0
Additionally, but related, I can only open some projects within the solution. I am getting the following error when I try to open "some" of the packages within the solution:
The Device is not ready. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070015)
Can someone offer some advice on just what is happening here? I would really appreciate any thoughts or advice.
Greetings, I am using SQL Server 2005 and I want a clue if there is some good built-in support to do the following. I want to transfer all the data from one source database to another destination database having same number to tables and schema like source database. I also want to ensure that the old data on the destination database should be secure too. I have an idea that this can be done through SSIS in coding but can anyone give me a guide, tip, link, sample code that can be helpful. Thanx a million in advance. Regards
Hi, I am going to work on the Migration project(DTS to SSIS).Could you plese suggest me some useful links reg Migration process and Best Practices used for Migration.
We would like to Share the BatchJobs functionality before going to the difficulties what we are facing in SSIS package Design and it's implementation.
BatchFile Process Steps:
1.Flat File is coming from the upstream server(DB2 main Frame Server) to the linux box in which the jobs are scheduled using crons.
2.The Flat file is validated whether having header and trailer information.The flat file name itself (eg. APPLWIC00077.dat ) will have it's sequence number ie 00077.This number will be checked against Flat file Header information Which also gives the sequence number information .If both number matches,The Loading will be initiated.Same way checking happens with Trailer.If anything goes wrong,mail will be sent and Loading will not happen.
3.The Job will process the coming flat file and Loading it into SQL Server Staging Table.
4.If loading is successful,then Some Sql server Procedure are called to validate the Staging Table Data,Filters,then move the Data from Staging table to Target table.
5.All Process or Steps are tracked,If anything goes wrong,Mail will be sent to Concerned Person.
Utilities Involved:
1. SQL Loader to Load the FlatFile Data into the SQL Server 2005 Database.
2. SQLPLUS to execute the PL/SQL procedures.
3. SENDMAIL or MAILX to send mails to externals.
Additional Information:
The SQL Loader Control File Splits the flatfile data by Position wise in order to load it into the particular column of the Staging Table.No column delimiters.Data are taken position wise (like column1 -> Sequence No , 1-3 -> column2 , 4-8 -> column2 )and checked against a condition By which the particular Staging Table is selected.
Difficulties We face in migration in regard to SSIS Package Design and it's Implementation:
1. We could Receive the flat file using FTP Task and we don't know how to open and validate the flat file data Like What we mentioned in STEP 2.
2. We could load the sample flat file which is properly delimited like {CR}{LF} ,{CR},{LF},semi -colon,comma,colon,tab,vertical bar .
If flatfile is messed up and data need to be processed by position wise (Scenario mentioned in Additional Information) ,We don't know how to implement this in SSIS package with the Limited delimiter option given.
FYI : Flat File columns are not fixed and ragged type.
3. We need logging information like howmany rows inserted, discarded,something in detail..How can we log these information using SSIS.This will help to send detailed mail to Application handler.It should be automated using SSIS.
4. How can we execute Procedures Using available SSIS tasks ( Executing many Procedures which is residing in Sql server 2005 using Single sql file as input to SSIS package)
Hi, I am going to work on the Migration project(DTS to SSIS).Could you plese suggest me some useful links reg Migration process and Best Practices used for Migration.
in my department we used livelink for a long time. now we have the order to migrate to sharepoint. i have the task to make a package in ssis which reads from livelink using the livelink api and transform the data to sharepoint.
i have begun creating a custom connection manager. it is recognized by ssis and i can select it in the new connection window. what do i have to do in the aquire connection methods? do i have to create a custom datareader?
I have a server that is sql2000. We are planning to upgrade that to SQL SERVER 2005. We also have a test 2005 server. Before going live, we are migrating all 100 DTS pkgs that we have in sql server 200 over to SSSS on the TEST 2005 sql Server. once all THE 100 DTSPKGS THAT we have in SQL 2000 PKGS Are scucessfuly migrated/tested on test 2005 server, only then we will move forward with migrating the PRODuction 2000 Server to 2005.
My question is:
1. When we are ready to migrate PRODuction 2000 SERVER, TO 2005, We will need to transfer/copy all the SSIS 2005 PKGS THAT WE HAD tested on the test 2005 server. Once we move that to prod 2005, we will need to change datasource connection to point to the PRODuction 2005 SERVER.
However my question is WHAT IS THE EASIEST/FASTEST WAY TO tranfer/copy all these (100+ ssis pkgs) 2005 ssis pkgs that are on the TEST SERVER OVER TO PROD 2005 SERVER? Do we transfer each and every SSIS PKg manually ,or is there any easy way to get these 100 SSIS Pkgs, over from TEST 2005 TO PROD 2005?
I have Sql Server 2005 Developer Edition and Sql Server Management Studio.I'm trying to import data but there are no options available under "Projects" in SSMS.Do I need to download an update or anything to use this functionality? Thanks
I'd like to import a big table (about 13 millions rows) from oracle to sql server 2005.
2 ways are possible: SiSS and Import Wizard.
I'd prefere to use SSiS, but I'm unable to pass data from oracle because, for some strange reason, debugging the package it hangs on the origin block (painting it red) altought another identical package wit another table works perfectly (and that's another strange question...). Also, SiSS forces me to create a convert block to cast from unicode to ansi
Using Import Wizard in sql2005 instead, the package works perfectly and, importing it in SiSS, it also don't contains the convert block...

OK, I was able to successfully migrate all of my DTS packages to SSIS, for SQL 2005. I can log into intergration services and see my packages listed under:
servername --> stored packages --> msdb. Now my question is, how can I open these packages, not run them open them in a design mode like you can in SQL 2000, you can double click on the package name and view the design of the package. how can i do that now that I have them in SQL 2005?
