I never had to use DTS in MSSQL 2000 but I'm finding a need to use SSIS quite a bit in a new position. I know this is subjective, but I looking for suggestions for a reference book with good examples and tutorials.
TIA
As part of an ETL process which takes several days I need to build in an auto pause on processing with no set time for restarting it again. So we cannot use the script..WAITFOR DELAY '00:01:00'
Apparently the Loop is not an option as it uses too much CPU.We need to run a few manual checks and there is no way to determine the amount of time needed. After these check are done I need some way of resuming the package from where it stopped.
The obvious way probably is to build this into two separate packages but this would break the logical way our containers are being setup, in other words, it would make us break a container into two different parts in different packages.
I have a .NET assembly that I need to reference and use within my SSIS script task.
The only way I can acheive this is to strongly name my assembly and put it in the GAC.
This is not possible as my assembly is already in production and uses other 3rd party assemblies that would also need to be registered in the GAC.
As a workaround, I have created a .Net console application that references my assembly, that call from a SSIS Process Task.
Does anyone know of another way I could use my .NET assembly within my SSIS package?
Any help appreciated.

Paul.
Hi, I have heard alot of people talk about using C# for scripting withing SSIS and the answer to that question is no apparently. You can only use VBA but there is no extensive or in my respect any documentation as reference for using VBA in SSIS. I am new to VBA because i used to use jscipt and vbscript in early version of sql server. But in order to learn using VBA, I need to learn it in which there seems to be no reference in relation to SSIS. All the VBA references you find are in relation to MS Office. Is there anything i am missing or can someone show me where to go as my reference for VBA in SSIS. Its bad enough to change the scripting language but worse not to provide any reference materials for uses to get up to speed.

I cannot add the reference to the following:
"Imports Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient"
in SSIS script task. All the objects that i declared become underlined because there is no reference to the above library.
When i go in SSIS script task and open the code to add the reference it does not the list the above library.
I am able to add reference in Visualstudio but not in SSIS.
Please adivse, it is very critical and urgent for my task
Thanks.
Consider the Conditional Split task. I can use a C-like language to create statements such as
Ltrim ([Col1] =€?A€?) || Ltrim([Col1] =€?B€?)
This sure ain€™t VB-like and the list of functions in the upper right-hand pane of the task (€œexpression editor€?) does not help me construct such statements.
Where is the reference manual describing this language?
TIA,
Barkingdog
P.S. I have found fragments in BOL but the info does not seem complete and the BOL topic fragmentation impedes learning.
P.P.S. Why MS uses this language instead of VB.NET, which they use in their Script tasks, is beyond me.
We are getting prepared to move from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. We have a lot of DTS's that will need to be converted to SSIS. Can you recommend a really good reference book or text book on SSIS that will help us out both with DTS conversions as well as SSIS development in general.
thanks
How can I add a reference to the Microsoft excel 2003 in the script tool in SSIS 2005? I need to automate Excel for formatting.
Thank you.

Is it possible to do this under SSIS 2005? How? I see I can add a reference to system.web.services.dll.. but then what?
The web service was developed in vb.net/vs.net 2005 and I have no problem adding and consuming it from a web page developed using vs.net 2005 - asp.net/vb.net.
Thanks for any help or information.
Hi All,
OK, so I have an SSIS package that I build using the "test" database as the destination. Now I want to execute it using another database as the destination. This is basically for an installation script where the source is always the same, an access database.
So here I have:
"C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90DTSBinnDTExec.exe" /file e:data_import.dtsx /CONNECTION DestinationConnectionOLEDB;""Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=Test2DB;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;""
Which works (sort of). It does try to import the data into "Test2DB", but what happens is all of the destination tables in the dtsx package have names like [test1db].[dbo].[tablename]
So my question is: is there a way to remove the databasename reference in the table names for all 195 tables in my database without doing it manually?
Thanks in advance.
I am using vs 2010 to write my dtsx import scripts.I use a script component as a source to create a flat file destination file.Everything have been working fine,but then my development machine crashed and we have to install everything again.Now when i use the execute package utility to test my scripts i get the following error:
Error system.NullReferenceException: Object refrence not set to an instance reference.
In PreExecute section
TextReader = new system.io.streamreader(" file name")
In the CreateNewOutputRows:
dim nextLine as string
nextLine = textReader.ReadLine
[code]...
is there something which i did not install or what can be the error?
We are using an MSDE database engine (1.0=sql7) as a report scheduler on a web server. I can access MSDE via SQL7 Enterprise Manager to connect and view MSDE, but cannot use the DTS and job scheduling as MSDE seems to lack needed components. Using Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q241397 as a guide, I was able to create a backup of the msdb database using stored procedures including sp_add_job, sp_add_jobserver,etc, that are already present in the msdb database.
My problem is that I need to create and schedule a job for another MSDE database called CE8. This database was created by the reporting app, and contains no stored procedures. It looks to me like only msdb has the needed job scheduling procs. Does this imply that I am supposed to schedule all jobs for all databases via msdb database, or will I need to copy all job scheduling stored procedures into the other CE8 database, then create a job? Hope this makes sense,
Randy
I have inherited a deployment running inside a custom .net application. I'm looking to deploy an updated version of a report to the report server. My question is there a manual way of deploying an RDL? I'm afraid of taking down the application entirely and I do not have detailed enough documentation to bring it back up. Thanks!

Assuming that I have a table [users] in a MSSQL 2005 database. the table has two columns. [userId] and [password].
I have an aspx with C# page with two textboxes and a button.
I want to let the user login or send him an error message if the password or the username does not match from the table in database.
I always made this possible through the template database from administrating the website. but never tried to do it as simple as that. I'm lost here!
How can I do it?
In SQL 7.0 jobs that have been scheduled start correctly, but jobs will not start when requested manually. All services are running.
The only way to fix this problem has been to reboot the server.
Does anybody have any ideas what might be causing this situation.

Is there any difference starting a DTS package manually or running as a scheduled task.
There is a DTS package that I start manually from my PC and runs for 40 minutes and during this time I cannot access Enterprise Manager.
I would like to automate a simple process which involves trucating a table and importing records back in. What would be the simplest solution to automate this kind of process? I'd like to run this process twice a day.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have only ever created and deployed SQL 2005 Reports to the report server using Business Intelligence Studio. I have a client who's network will not allow me to remote connect to their Reporting server so that I can deploy their reports.
If I deploy the reports to my own report server, how can I then manually upload them to the Report Server using their Report Manager instad of my Business Intelligence Studio. The Upload files option is only looking for 1 file at a time, however the Business Intelligence solution have the files split up instead of in one neat package.
Cheers

I recently built a SQL Server x64 server, where I changed the default install path of SSIS. My reason for doing so was to move the SSIS engine off of the system volume, onto a different set of spindles, to reduce potential contention between the OS, the SQL Engine and the SSIS Engine. It is also documented in BOL as an option for the components.
The 64-bit runtime installed fine on the new volume, however, the 32-bit runtime was not installed at all. I checked Program Files (x86) and the directories I chose during the initial install, but only the 64-but runtime exists on the server. Since 64-bit drivers are limited (to put it mildly), I would say about half of the packages I run through jobs require execution of the 32-bit runtime to work.
BOL doesn't seem to indicate that the 32-bit will not install if the default is changed, but the following note indicates that I would not even be able to uninstall/reinstall the components back to the system drives:
A single installation path is shared between SQL Server Integration Services, Notification Services, and Client Components. Changing the installation path for one component also changes it for other components. Subsequent installations install components to the same location as the original installation.
I am wondering if there is a command-line install option to ensure the 32-bit runtime is installed, or if there is a way to install the 32-bit SSIS runtime manually. And if not, can the registry be edited to force a re-install back to the default path?
Any ideas?
I'm trying to install SQL2005 Express Edition, the adv. version that includes SSRS. The installation fails because it cannot upgrade the existing SSRS2000. I tried to uninstall the latter from the Add/Rem. Programs, and I get "Fatal Error during installation". IIS was stopped prior to the uninstall attempt.
SSRS2000 will thus not uninstall. How can I do a manual uninstall of it? I need to retain my SQL2000 instance, so the manual uninstall of SSRS must not injure it.
I've created my own posting for this. The original post was here, I apologize: http://forums.microsoft.com/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2906512&SiteID=1
According to the poster it's not possible. But there has to be some way to do it? Reflection (don't know how)?
I need to get a reference to the task host in an SSIS Task component.
Basically the scenario is this:
I have a custom task I have created. However I would like to validate that the ExecValueVariable is infact a string variable during the validate event of the task. I know how to verify its a string variable. But I can't figure out how to read what the user selected (such as User::Myvariable). The only way I've been able to figure out how to do it, but it only works if you open my custom task UI.
What I did is this:
I've implemented IDtsTaskUI and during the initialize section I wrote:
Sub Initialize(ByVal taskHost As TaskHost, ByVal serviceProvider As IServiceProvider) Implements IDtsTaskUI.Initialize
' Store the TaskHost of the task.
Me.taskHostValue = taskHost
Dim myTask As CustomTask= CType(taskHost.InnerObject, CustomTask)
myTask.myTaskHost = taskHost
End Sub
My Task is named: CustomTask. I have a public variable in my task as follows:
Public NotInheritable Class CustomTask
Inherits Task
Implements IDTSComponentPersist
Public myTaskHost As TaskHost = Nothing
Therefore I pass back the taskhost value to the CustomTask class, and voila I have it.
Problem is, this only works if the custom task calls the initialize method, and this only happens when you open the custom editor.
I then do the validation in my CustomTask class and it works fine, but myTaskHost is null/nothing until you actually open the custom task UI
How do I solve this?
Hey all. I've got a DTS package that's scheduled to run after business hours on the last day of the month. This package copies some tables from an offsite SQL Server, then runs through a series of SQL Statements and finally exports an excel file with the results.
My problem is that the DTS will run if I manually start it, but the scheduled job always fails. Of course, the error I get is that the job failed at step one, and I have no other info.
I'm not a heavy DBA (mor eon the client app side of things), so I'm unsure as to how I can dbug this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

is there a way to start validation of external metadata manual?
My problem is this:
The package uses a variable as connectionstring for flatfile source, and another variable for the destination table. Running the package gives a warning about external metadata that needs to be updated. Normally I update this data by just opening the data flow, and answering the question for updating with yes. This time that deosnt work, I think because the variable is not set, so there can not be any conflicts with external metadata.
I dont want do disable validation, but just validate one time and then save the package.
Any ideas?

Hi guys
when we do manual Database shrink at normal office hours does it make any issues
or best way to control it
1. Does it lock database and runs the shrink statement.
2. at time of shrink users allowed or not.
3. transactions can be committed.
I have got the error “a network related or instance specific error occurred sql server 2012 “.I have enabled tcp/ip, restarted the services. The sql server service is getting stopped even after the manual restart. I have checked in event viewer and I noticed a error. Here is the error...The log scan number (43:456:1) passed to log scan in database ‘model’ is not valid. This error may indicate data corruption or that the log file (.ldf) does not match the data file (.mdf). If this error occurred during replication, re-create the publication.

We have a scenario where we want to lock and unlock manually some rows in a table in SQL CE database .First the rows we need should be locked. By using a select query the locked rows will be read and processed in front end. Only if the process is completed in front end, manually I need to unlock rows which I have locked earlier. When rows are in locked state no body should be allowed to access that rows . ( should not allow anybody even to put a select query on that locked rows).
At the same time appending rows in the table should always be allowed.
Is it possible to achieve the above scenario?
