I set up a basic Transfer Database task (online, copy) to copy a DB. It works great except for the fact that it isn't transferring the PK's and FK's. It also looks like it did not transfer the views. Any idea why? Anything else the Transfer Database task doesn't actually transfer?
View 2 RepliesI have a SSIS package that transfers a couple of tables from one database to another database on the same server. It works fine in most of the machines we tested with. However on one of the customer machines, it consistently fails with the error message, The Return value was unknown. The process exit code was -1073741795. The step failed.
This package runs as a scheduled job on the sql agent. When i did a sql profiler to see what is going on, i noticed that the last step before the bulk insert, it gets the collation and the schema id of the 2 tables. My guess is, it compares these values from the source and destination databases and makes sure everything is ok before copying.
On a machine where this works, it goes ahead with the the next step which is the bulk insert itself. Whereas on the machines where it doesn't work, it stops right after this step. i.e. it does not even bother to call the 'bulk insert' api. Which makes me think it is doing some kind of validation with these values and it is getting something that is not expected.
If the collation or the schema was an issue, why throw an 'return value unknown' error? Can the error be more specific?
Any other possible reasons for such a behavior? Any clues?
Thanks

Hi everyone, I am trying to upgrade a 2000 DB to 2005 with SSIS Database Transfer.
I finally got it to work with an online transfer but the destination database has no primary keys, indexes or identity columns from the source DB.
What am I missing?
What other ways are there to upgrade a SS2000 DB to 2005?
Thank you.

Can any one help me I am using Tranfer databse object task when I am trying to run it its throwing exception can not send null value in login name????

Hi guys,
I want to create an automatic job on SQL 2005 to transfer logins between 2 servers, (Principle and Mirror). If I use the transfer logins task I get the error:
"The database "x" cannot be opened. It is acting as a mirror database."
I guess this is because it is trying to assign the default databases for the logins??
I've also looked at [sp_help_revlogin] procs but that requires manual intervention.
How does everyone else transfer logins in this situation?
Thanks in advance..
I am using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
Any option anyone knows will help.
Thanks.
In short, does the €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? support distributed transactions?
In trying to use a €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? in a container using a transaction on the container. The task is set to support the transaction. It is setup to copy table data from several tables from a non-domain server (sql server 2000) to a domain-based server (sql server 2005). I get an error stating, €œThis task can not participate in a transaction€?.
I am wondering if it means exactly what it says €“ this task in SSIS can€™t participate at all. Or does it mean that it won€™t in this scenario for some reason. I attempted a simple copy of data from mssql 2005 to mssql 2005 (same server) and the task still failed). MSDTC appears to be running properly on my machine and such (I can do a simple distributed transaction across linked server to the 2000 server in Query Analyzer (QA)). Also, MSDTC appears to be working on both servers with distributed transaction query tests in QA.
Here€™s the error info€¦
SSIS package "Development BusinessContacts and Products Migration.dtsx" starting.
Information: 0x4001100A at Copy BusinessContacts Data: Starting distributed transaction for this container.
Error: 0xC002F319 at Copy BusinessContacts database table data 1, Transfer SQL Server Objects Task: This task can not participate in a transaction.

SSIS package "Development BusinessContacts and Products Migration.dtsx" finished: Failure.
The program '[4700] Development BusinessContacts and Products Migration.dtsx: DTS' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
I have just been using the Import Data wizard in SSMS and when going through the wizard I checked the "Optimize for many tables" checkbox.
The resultant package contains a task called "Transfer Task". I've never heard of this before. Its not listed in the toolbox and its not documented in BOL.
It does some rather strange things as well.
From what I can determine it uses an XML manifest file (stored in c:documents and settings<user>Local settings emp) to construct a SSIS package on the fly which is then executed by an Execute Package Task.
Its SourceDB property is always "smo_Pubs". Its DestinationDB property is always "smo_Pubs_xfred"
There's no UI for it
All very peculiar.
What is it?
Where has it come from?
Did it arrive with SP1 or have I just never noticed it before?
Why is it preferable to a package with lots of data-flows?
Why is it not documented?
When should I use it/not use it?
Questions questions questions...
Thanks

Hello All,
Has any1 noticed that when they are transferring SQL tables from one server (or machine) to another that the primary keys drop from the table (or is it just me). If so, has someone figured out why? and how to rectify this (apparent) error.

I'm using a Business Intelligence project to copy stored procedures and tables from one database to another across servers. I'm having trouble copying tables or stored procedures using the Management.SMO.Transfer class.
I tried copying stored procedure with the property transfer.CopyAllStoredProcedures = true. This didn't work. As a workaround, I used the StringCollection property and executed every string as sql.
Now I'm having trouble copying tables. I don't want to copy all the tables in the database. How do I go about selecting what tables to copy. I tried using ObjectList property and provided the names of the tables in an ArrayList. I get the error
"Transfer cannot process System.String. You need to pass an instance class object."
How can I pass an "instance class object" for something that's in the database? The ScriptTransfer method fails so I can't even see the script that is being generated. There is virtually no documentation for this class.
Any help will be appreciated.
Transfer transfer = new Transfer();
transfer.Database = sourceDB;
transfer.DestinationDatabase = DestinationDatabase;
transfer.DestinationServer = DestinationServer;
transfer.DropDestinationObjectsFirst = false;
transfer.CopyData = true;
transfer.CopySchema = true;
transfer.CopyAllObjects = false;
transfer.CopyAllTables = false;
transfer.CopyAllStoredProcedures = false;
transfer.Options.WithDependencies = false;

transfer.ObjectList = tablesList;
transfer.Options.FileName = "C:\TransferScriptTables.sql";
StringCollection coll = transfer.ScriptTransfer();
I am working on a project that is creating a new application, my area of the project being the migration of data from the old application database, transforming it, and populating the new database.
The transformations to the old data are done in a staging database.
At the end of the process, the staging database ends up with a lot of new applications tables, populated with the migrated legacy data.
We need to move these tables from the staging database to (initially) our test databases, but ultimately what will be the live database.
We have tried using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" in SSIS, but have ran into a problem that a lot of the database tables have default values for columns.
These default values are not brought over.
Example. Tables contain a "GUID" field, which has a default of value of newid()
Right clicking and the table generating the CREATE script generates
[GUID] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbCRM_Client_GUID] DEFAULT (newid()),
However, the Transfer objects task does not create this default of newid()
Examining the SQL generated by the Import / Export Wizard when investigating this shows that the wizard generates this column as
[GUID] uniqueidentifier NOT NULL
and the column default value is lost.
Is there something i should be setting somewhere to force SSIS to bring these column definitions over correctly?
I am trying to run a transfer database task in IS. The tasks fails saying that a defined role already exists in current database. This occurs if I try a destination overwrite to an existing database and even if the database is not currently allocated with destination overwrite = false.
Has anyone experienced these problems. I am just learning IS and have never experienced this type of problem with the old DTS version.
I am attempting to utilize the 'Transfer Database Task' to copy a SQL 2000 database to 2005.
I would like to set up the task as a job to run nightly and update the 2005 database from 2000.
I have the DestinationOverwrite set to true, the Action set to Copy, the Method is DatabaseOnline.
I receive the following message...
ERROR: errorCode=-1073548784 description=Executing the query CREATE ROLE[RSExecRole] failed with the following error: "User, group, or role 'RSExecRole' already exists in the current database..."
If I set overwrite to true...why is this an issue? Suggestions? Comments?
Thank you
Hi, can you not use this task in Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer Version 9.00.3042.00? It keeps giving me an error when I try to copy a DB using this task. Says I cannot use this task in this edition of SSIS. Is there another way to copy a db so that I can schedule it to run or is there a SP I need to download for this to work? I'm using SQL Server Express as well.
thanks,
hi,
I have created a SSIS package that does nothing more than loop through all DBs and copies the userDBs to another server. However, I keep getting an error after the task has created the database during its execution of "Create Role" statements. Here is the error:
Error: The Execute method on the task returned error code 0x80131500 (ERROR : errorCode=-1073548784 description=Executing the query "CREATE ROLE [aspnet_WebEvent_FullAccess] " failed with the following error: "User, group, or role 'aspnet_WebEvent_FullAccess' already exists in the current database.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly. helpFile= helpContext=0 idofInterfaceWithError={8BDFE893-E9D8-4D23-9739-DA807BCDC2AC}). The Execute method must succeed, and indicate the result using an "out" parameter.
Now it appears to me that the Transfer DB task keeps using master as the current database even after it has created the new DB? Why would it does this when at the source the database role is under the usersDB?
thanks,

Hello everyone,
I am having a problem using the "Transfer Database Task" in SSIS. I want to copy (and overwrite) DestDB with SourceDB on one SQL Server, while SourceDB stays online.
So, I add the task to my control flow and go into the properties. Here's how I have the editor setup:
SourceConnection: MySQL2005Server
DestinationConnection: MySQL2005Server
DestinationDatabaseName: DestDB
DestinationDatabaseFiles: (I update all files to point to the correct destination folder)
DestinationOverwrite: True
Action: Copy
Method: DatabaseOnline
SourceDatabaseName: SourceDB
When I set these options and hit ok, I get validation errors. For every file in the source database, I get an error in the Transfer Database Task, 'Could not find the file "d:\SourceDB_XX" in the source database "SourceDB"'.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am getting this or of a way to fix it? Any reason why it puts 2 's in the file path?
Thanks in advance,
Jarret

stageLogName + """ ,""D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerData"","""""
When I view the variable at runtime it looks like this: "Prod2.mdf","D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Data","";"Prod_log2.ldf" ,"D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Data",""
How does one set this property using an expression?

Hi all,
I have created a package to copy 10 tables from a database to another one. I have created a datasource with SQL Authentication mode. And it couldn't run until I changed the datasource connection to Windows Authentication mode. How could it be like that, it's just the authentication mode?

Hi all,
I'm having (what seems like) a common problem, but I haven't found a working solution
I simply want to copy a database, and it's logins, stored procedures etc to a different server. I have tried the copy database wizard, and that works fine UNLESS there are any logins associated with the database. When there are logins associated, I run the wizard and the error logs show:
"'myLogin' is not a valid login or you do not have permission."
(I do have permissions, I'm admin on both machines)
I tried creating an SSIS package and use the 'Transfer Database" task, and I get the same error. Are my admin credentials getting lost on the way somewhere?
I don't want to import/export data. I don't want to backup/copy/restore. I want to make a copy and plonk it somewhere else!
any ideas?
oh, and the two machines are running sql2005 sp2, although one of the machines is 64 bit.I have also tried both methods of copying ('detach and attach' and 'SQL Management Object') without success
thanks all

Hi All,
i have mutiple text file. let us say,a1.txtb1.txtc1.txt
i have to port this text file data into the table (SqlServer Database) which have the same file structure.(i.e)x1 (SqlServer table)y2 (SqlServer table)z3 (SqlServer table)
now i have to transfer a1.txt file data ----to--- x1b1.txt file data ----to--- y2c1.txt file data ----to--- z3
using SSIS. like that, i have to transfer more than 250 files at a time.manually binding 250 files into the package is very cumbersome and time consuming process.
so, can any one give ur valuable sugession to solve this issue.
I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I am having with SSIS. I am attempting to move certain sql agent jobs from our older sql 2000 server to our new sql 2005 server and I am receiving the error [Transfer Jobs Task] Error: Execution failed with the following error: "The specified '@server' is invalid (valid values are returned by sp_helpserver).".
Does my server name need to be the same if I am using SSIS to transfer jobs? Is there a way to update the server name during the execution process?
This seems like it should be a relatively easy task but has not been so far.
Any help is appreciated.
I am transferring DB2 data to SQL server 2005 in ssis. the connection i I am using is the IBM OLEDB driver for DB2 which uses the ODBC connection on the machine. The issue is that while transferring data i get errors reg unicode vs non unicode data. the db2 data is showing unicode data, but when i see the datatype in the db2 database it is a varchar. so when i transfer the data to a varchar in sql server 2005, it errors out....meesageis unicode vs non unicode data. Why is the data from db2 coming across as unicode string. Also the transfer works fine in SQL server 2000, why is is not working in sql server 2005. Please help !!!!

When I try this code in an SSIS "Script Task":
Dim dbConnectionManager As ConnectionManager = Dts.Connections(0)
Dim dbConnectionRaw As Object = dbConnectionManager.AcquireConnection(Nothing)
Dim dbConnection As OdbcConnection = CType(dbConnectionRaw, OdbcConnection)
I get this error:
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to class type 'System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection'. Instances of types that represent COM components cannot be cast to types that do not represent COM components; however they can be cast to interfaces as long as the underlying COM component supports QueryInterface calls for the IID of the interface.
I'm just trying to get a basic database connection from the DTS package in my
script task. Is there a better way to do this? Preferably, I would use ADO.NET
rather than the old COM stuff. However, if SSIS still requires the use of COM,
that's fine as well, as long as I can fix the above code.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
In my SSIS package, I have a backup database task. When I run the package with DestinationAutoFolderPath set to a folder ("Network Service" account has full permission on this folder) and DestinationCreationType set to Auto, the task works just fine creating a backup with its own name. (similar to database_date<count>).
But what I want is in my front-end I am allowing the user to specify the name of the backup file. So I want the task to create the backup file in the name I supply. I set the DestinationCreationType to manual and in the application code added the DestinationManualList with the path from the UI.
Now the pacakge runs fine but does not take any backup. There is no errors as well. If I set the FailPackageOnFailure and FailParentOnFailure to true, then I am getting the DTSExecResult.Failure but I am not getting the actual error from the backup database task.
Am I missing anything here?
Thanks in advance,
Srikanth.
