SSIS Shared Configuration Files -SP2 Problem
Feb 21, 2007
Hello,
I have several packages that share one configuration file located at a network location. Up until i installed sp2 everything worked fine, but now the packages "loose" the path to the configurationfile. It is replaced by some c:programsqlserverpackage.... path where no config file is located.
I can run packages if i specify the config file explicetly, but I really don't wanna do that, since it will not work in the context i'm working.
I am using the wizard to install my packages.
Anyone with similar problems ? Any help appriciated.
Note: This is not the issue that sp1 solved (for me at least). =)

Hello,
I am having a bit of trouble with SSIS Configurations.
- In BIDS, I have added a configuration file and specified the properties I want to expose.
- When I build the project, I get the standard bindeployment folder which contains the package file (.dtsx), the configuration file (.dtsconfig) and the deploymentmanifest.
- Before deploying the package, I edit the config file to have the settings I want it to for the environment I am deploying to.
- The package deploys OK
- When I work directly on the SSIS server (64 bit), I can go into SQl Mgt Studio, choose 'run package' and when I look in the connection manager window all the settings are as I desire ( I havent had to add a configuration file manually)
- When I work on a client machine, I connect to the SSIS server and choose 'run package' - the properties/connections are the same as on the server but the values themselves are completely different.
Why is this? Why when I run the package from the client (32 bit) do the configuration values appear to be completely different? How can I run the package remotely and pick up the configuration values that I deployed with?
Or have I misunderstood this whole configuration function?
Please, please help!

http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/default.aspx has a lot of great tid-bits for SQL 2005. I am currently on a tight deadine for 25 SSIS packages that need to be able to move from Dev to QA to Staging to Prod. For the life of me I cannot get any of the packages to *READ* the config files created with the package config wizard. All I want to do is move the connection string out of the package so we can change the config file and not have to touch (hand edit) each package. Any help is appreciated!

Hello,
I need some clarification. I am trying to utilize the XML Direct Configuration in my SSIS packages to utilize database connections in the package. I am wanting to utilize this the same way you could use UDLs in the SQL Server 2000 DTS packages.
Currently, I am creating the dtsConfig file and saving it to my desktop. I then modify it with notepad and add the following configuration where it looks like this:
<DTSConfiguration>
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[ConnectionName].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>Data Source=[ServerName];Initial Catalog=[DBName];Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>
</DTSConfiguration>
Once this is created, I am trying to "re-use" this in SSIS packages created moving forward, where they all point to this configuration for the same database connection.
What I don't understand is when "Enabling Package Configuration" and then pointing to this dtsConfig file doesn't create a connection in "Connection Manager" NOR does it provide a way to create a blank connection and point to this configuration.
I feel like I am missing something thats so "great" about XML configuration files. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello All,
I have a package in which I have enabled "Package Configuration".
When I run the package i am sure that it reads the configuration file and executes the package correctly.
However if I remove the configuration file, the package still executes correctly with the settings which were used at the time of development.
I have event handlers for OnError and OnWarning and both these are NOT invoked.
IMO, this is incorrect behavior because if a package has been configured for "package configuration, then we should atleast have a warning generated that SSIS did not find the configuration and it would execute the package with hard coded values (from the time of development).
Is there any work around for this? how can I make SSIS warn me if the config file is missing for a package which was configured for package configuration?

How do you go about setting up configuration files to control connection strings when SSIS packages are migrated from a test environment to a production environment? Specifically, changing the server you are connecting to and possibly different login and password.

Is there a way to get access to the files on the shared drive from either of the nodes when the SQL Cluster is shut down?
It doesn't look like there is, but hoping there is some trick. I see how it can be done with a Windows Cluster but not a SQL Cluster.

I wrote the below script to print all folders and files located in the share path. How to extend my script to mention by adding another column whether the file is a folder/file , sort of 0 or 1.
declare @chkdirectory1 varchar(4000) = 'shared_pathfolder';
declare @finalserver3 varchar(4000);
create table #tmp (directory_name varchar(4000))
SET @finalserver3 = '''"DIR ' + @chkdirectory1 + ' /B"''';

Can multiple instances of SQL 2005 Express attach to the same database files on a network share? I have seen this done before with MSDE where the database files are stored on the server, but instead of having a SQL server running on the network and then connecting to it, only the database files exist on the network share and the users connect through MSDE running on the local machine. Is this possible with SQL2005Express? I do not have the ability to share an SQL instance from one workstation to another nor do I have the ability to install an instance on the corporate server. Is it as simple as creating the database and storing the files on the share then attaching the database to the SQL Instance on each workstation?

We are in the process of setting up a shared staging/development enviroment in which multiple developers will deploy their packages for testing etc.
The plan is to allow the developers to remote in to execute their packages, but we are worried about the concurrency limit of 2 users per terminal services.
It is my understanding that you cannot execute packages remotely (ie you have to be on THAT box to kick it off. (FYI - we are not planning on using SQL Agent at this point - That will be with DBAs in UA)
Please let me know what options are available/best practices...
Thanks!

Hi,
I am having a hard time grasping how to use configuration files.
Here's an example:
I created a simple package (one execute sql task) that simply does a "select * from xyz". Table xyz only exists on Server 1.
I then created a configuration file, the only setting being the ole db connection manager which is pointing to Server 1. I then went into the file and added the "password=zzz" since it's a sql server login.
When I run the package it worked.
Next, I went into the configuration file I just created and had it point to another server, Server 2, thinking this would now cause the execute sql task to fail since table xyz does not exist on Server 2.
But it's still running succesfully. What's the deal here? Shouldn't changing the configuration file settings cause the package to now fail?
Thanks

Hi all,
I am using XML Configuration Files to configure my package connections, but when i use them on a Database Transfere Task every time i try to open those packages on a different machine from the one in which it was created i got the following error:
Validation error. «Connection_name» : The Validate method on the task failed, and returned error code 0x80131501 (Failed to connect to server «Defined Server».). The Validate method must succeed and indicate the result using an "out" parameter. «Package Name»
Anyone knows why?

Hi,
I€™m having
some issues associated with the configuration files that I can€™t understand:
-
Having
a project with several packages using the same connections in each one (some
packages use all connection and others I just have some of them), why can€™t I use
only one configuration file for all project. Assuming that I would have to
configure all packages at least I would like to use always the same file. On
the other way I would need 100€™s of configuration files (one per package) to
configure always the same connection, just because not all the packages use
exactly the same connections.
-
Having
a configuration file on a machine, the package saves the full path, even if the
configuration file lays in the same path them the project. When I change my
project to another machine that doesn€™t use the same file structure forces me
to open every package and change the configuration file location.
Having 100€™s of packages and a team of
developers, even using the source safe, this makes the task just a little difficult
Thanks,
VĂtor Ferreira

I am deploying SSIS packages using the deployment utility. We are starting to use configuration files for storing connection information. I have the configuration files in a directory on the server I am deploying the packages to, I want all new packages deployed to use these files. When I deploy a new package it wants to overwrite the config files on the server with the ones in the package. I have tried to remove the .dtsconfig file from the package deployment folder but then the package will not use the config files on the server. How do you deploy a package and get it to use the .dtsconfig files that are already on the server?

I have a package with a corresponding configuration file.
If I open Sql server management studio and i connect to SSIS and right click to import a package, and then select to store the package in SQL Server (not on the file system)....
What happens with the configuration file?
Does the import take the values from the configuration file and place them in the package which then is stored in SQL Server?
Or do I need to put the configuration file someplace on the SQL Server where the package is imported so it can access it when it runs?
I'm a bit confused about what goes on there?
For example, I tried using the build command and then running the manifest file to import using the wizard and when it does that it copies the configuration files to a default location within the c:program filesmicrosoft sql server directory.
Thx.

Can someone tell me why path to the configuration file couldn't be relative to the package? When I try to use relative path (i.e. do not specify full path to the configuration file) package then run from BIDS looks for configuration file in the solution folder instead of package's folder (project folder).
Is there ane way to force package use same folder to search for caonfiguration files?
Thanks

Imagine that you launch a SSIS and under a several rules the same connection is reused with four or five different databases.
I know that I can attach a configuration file or more than one but how to tell to SSIS which use in every moment?
Thanks in advance and regards,

Please forgive me if my question is pre-emptive (as in, I haven't throughly researched this yet), but I'd like to know in advance the following question:
Q. When scheduling SSIS jobs to run packages (in msdb), do I specify a configuration file in the job? Is this how one uses the configuration file? Or is the configuration file "configured" at the SSIS package level, before you schedule the job? Or both?
Also, is there a good link on this topic? I'm already afraid I'm going to be confused!
Thanks much!

I'm busy rewriting DTS packages as SSIS packages. As and when I finish a package I run it in debug mode via Microsoft Visual Studio and then examine the Exection Results to see the messages generated.
Now it may or may not matter how I run the package but the following warning has been generated :-
[SSIS.Pipeline] Warning: Warning: Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL; data flow performance counters are not available. To resolve, run this package as an administrator, or on the system's console.

We are trying to import data from a .csv file which sits on shared location. This package runs fine when we run it from designer. but we are having problem when we do it at run time (accessing it through a service). Same package runs fine if that file is on same server.

I created a project with multiple packages. I created a global config file that all packages reference. I also created a config file for each package that contains the package specific settings. I checked it all into TFS. I went to a different machine and checked it all out. Upon loading a package into the IDE I got the following 3 warnings.Warning loading MT_LSE_PROD_StageLoad.dtsx: The configuration file "MT_LSE_PROD_StageLoad.dtsConfig" cannot be found. Check the directory and file name. e:contentloadersprint1aMT_LSE_PROD_StageLoad.dtsx Warning loading MT_LSE_PROD_StageLoad.dtsx: The configuration file "Environment.dtsConfig" cannot be found.

I tried building the project and it builds. I also tried doing a deployment build and that too built. I am so confused!!!

Wondering if I could get some feedback from 'you All' on how you use the Reporting Services configuration files.
Specifically, I'm interested in -
1) Have you ever made changes to the configuration files? (Yes/No; if Yes - how often?)
2) What if any operations you commonly do in the files? (list)
3) Do you script or otherwise have automated solutions for updating these files? (Yes/No; if Yes - in what scenarios; if No - did you try to?)
Any other feedback about the configuration files is also welcome.
Thanks,
-Lukasz

I am hoping someone with more experiencing deploying packages from dev to other environments can help me out here. When developing in BIDS everything works fine. When I deploy I want to use a configuration file. This does seem to work fine by specifying the configuration file on the DTEXEC command. However, if it is specified incorrectly the package STILL executes using the information it was created with. I am attempting to control things like connection strings and passwords via configuration files so that I can take the same package and deploy to different locations and have it run against different sources and destinations. What I am afraid of is that things could easily get screwed up if the configuration file gets moved or renamed, or if the dba that is scheduling the job (outside of sql agent using a different job scheduler on a machine that only has the SSIS service) messes up typing the config file name. Shouldn't it fail if you specify an invalid parameter. Isn't there a way to make it do that? Any help or insight is appreciated. BTW I have used environment variables as well and the issue is the same. If it cannot locate it, it still will execute.

Hello,
Here is the scenario.
I'm using SSIS and SQL 2005
I have two dtsx packages. Lets call them TESTA.dtsx and TESTB.dtsx. I've enabled using XML package configurations on both.
TestB.dtsx pulls some data from a table and writes it to a flat file.
TestA.dtsx calls TestB.dtsx.
For the test I changed the TestB fileoutput connection string to save to a different location.
When I run TestA.DTSX using DTEXEC. TestB's configuration file is not being used.
How do I kick off TestA.dtsx and specify a package configuration for test b?
I tried manually copying the Config parameters from TESTB's config file to TESTA.
When I run TESTB directly from DTEXEC and pass in it's config file as an argument it runs fine.

Hi all
For selecting different load targets we use package configurations to override the connection parameters in the connection manager.
To organize the different tasks we splittetd our load processes into multiple package files (dtsx) which are then put together into a workflow using "Execute Package Task" component.
With the option /CONFIGFILE its possible to override the configuration file for the package that is called with DTExec. Unfortuanetly it does not override the configuration of subpackages calles by the "Execute Package Task".
Are there some ways to configure subpackages on the command line?
