How To Market Custom SSIS Components?
Oct 10, 2007
Hi,
As a hobby, I am creating custom SQL Server Integration Services components, which are installed as an add-on to out of the box components. They are mainly used to reduce the development time and minimize the maintance overhead. I would like to know, how I should market them? What are the mediums to use? Since this is the first time, I am creating a software for mass markets, I would really appreciate your help while marketing this baby.
Just FYI, the first commercially available package that I develop is for creating text based files. My package connects to any OLE DB datasource. Executes the query and stores the output in a text file. It is very useful while developing database driven custom feeds. Instead of working with multiple dataflow tasks, data flow sources, you just need to configure one single component and the rest is taken care for you. Since, the package implements the standard Microsoft Task Editor, it is very easy to learn.
Thanks for your help.

SELECT Winners In A Long Jump Competition
Mar 2, 2004Actually it's not a long jump competition but this is the easiest way to visualize it. I've been playing in the SQL sandpit for too long on this one and frankly I'm stumped! Decided to take a leap and post the query here.
Athletes take several jumps, each recording a distance; hence a row in the table consist of athlete and distance, (number of attempts is irrelevant.)
I need a select statement that will return the top jumpers.
ie. here is the resulting top 3

I hope this makes sense. Any takers?

Oct 16, 2007Hi!
I have a problem. I would like to make Market basket analysis on data.
Here is the example of data structure:
Customers
Customer_ID
Gender
Age
City
CustomerProducts
Customer_ID
Product_ID
I've created mining association model where Customers is a case table and CustomerProducts is nested table.
(I guess that association algorithm is the best for this kind of analysis).
My questions are:
1. How to write DMX query for next question:
Give me the list of customers that are using Products R1, R2, ... Rn and have potential to buy Product Ri
(List of customers with probabilities to buy Ri)
2. DMX query for next:
Same as 1. but customers filtered by some criteria, for example Gender = 'M' and Age between 25 and 36
3. DMX query for next
For chosen product Ri give me the list of groups of products with probabilities that customers that are using products from that group will buy product Ri.
(here is the example: for product Ri list will have to look like this:
R2, R5, R6 0.85
R5, R7 0.76
R1, R4, R5, R8 0.75
...
)
I don't know does this report have sense since customers that own products from one group have different other attribute values (Gender: M, F; Age...) but I have request like that...
Thanks in advance

Integration Services :: Executing Child SSIS Package In Parent SSIS
Oct 9, 2015I want to achieve the following in (SSIS/SSDT for SQL 2012) -Â
I have a generic SSIS package which simply sends out email notifications using SMTP email task (this package is within its own project, and has project level input parameters).
I need to be able to call this package in the Event handler section of every package (numbering in about less than 60) that we have. These packages are within their own respective projects.
I thought I could use the "execute package task", but it turns out , using this, I cannot call a package that is part of some other project. I also cannot call a package that is stored in the CATALOG. Is there any way I can do this ?
When I call the child package , I should be able to send in parameters like - error information and package name of the Parent package.
SSIS Called From Agent Job Not Calling New Child SSIS Package Addition
Oct 29, 2007I have an SSIS package (TransAgentMaster) that I recently modified to include a call to a child package via the file system. The child package creates a text file. When I run the package in dev studio then the child package/text file is produced.
I then imported the TransAgentMaster as a stored packagesfilesystem package into SQL SSIS and executed the package. The child package produced the text file.
I then ran the SQL Server Agent to see if the child package would work and it did not generate the text file. Thus after updating a SSIS package importing the package into SSIS the job that calls the package will not call the child package. Please not that the TransAgentMaster package calls 7 children packages €¦ just not my new one.
Any thoughts why the agent will not run the child newly crated childe package?

View 1 Replies View RelatedSource Code For The Standard SSIS Components That Come With SSIS?
Jun 2, 2006Hi,
I'm finding that the standard components often just don't quite meet my
needs, but would only need some fairly minor changes to save me and my team a lot of
work (and produce more elegant solutions). So I was just wondering whether the source code was available for the standard components that come with SSIS, or if there is anyway to extend their functionality?
Or do you just have to start form scratch?

Use Of SSIS In Reading And XSL File. Should I Use SSIS Or Just Straight C#
Aug 1, 2007I need to build an asp.net/C# application to read values from an Excel spreadsheet. Once the values are read from the spreadsheet, the C# code will do some elementary statistics on the values read. Then the values read and their computations will be written to a sql server database.
My manager suggested that SSIS might be a good candidate technology for doing this type of work. Does that sound correct? My only hesitation with using SSIS is that I want to keep the application as simple as possible, so that the code can be more portable. Maybe might argument is not a good one, but maybe someone can help me out here.

SSIS - Get ServerName From A XML Or TXT File Into SSIS Package
Jan 4, 2008Dear Friends,
I store several configurations in the main database of my SSIS packages. I need to get the servername from a xml or txt file in order to get those configurations stored in my database.
How you think is the better way to do that?
Using a FlatFileSource to read the file and a script to save the value into a SSIS variable?
Using the package configuration I cant do that... maybe I dont know, but I can save the SSIS variale in the configuration file, but what I need is to do the inverse, read the configuration file and save the value in the SSIS variable.
How the best way you suggest?!
Regards!!
Thanks.

SSIS Newbie - Separating SSIS && DB Engine
Oct 10, 2007Hi Gurus,
I am new to SSIS. I am trying to install just the SSIS in one machine("SSIS Machine") and just the DB Engine ("SQL Server Machine") in another machine. What I am trying to do is, separating the SSIS service and packages from the Database Engine and trying to run in in another machine. I have few questions on this topic. I searched on this forum but I couldn't find a concrete answer to those questions. Forgive me if it already answered/asked multiple times.
1. When I install SSIS in "SSIS Machine", do I need to install client components also in the same machine?
2. I already established this setup (SSIS with client components in one machine and SQL Server in another) but when I tried to connect to the SSIS thro' Management Studio from Sql Server machine, I keep getting "Access Denied" error. Is it possible to connect to SSIS server from another machine (using Management studio)? I tried the DCOM security permission options I found in the internet(I don't have domain id so I gave "Everyone" full access) but still I get the same error. Any help would be appriciated.
3. Do I need 2 SQL Server Licenses (Enterprise) if I go with this environment?
4. Is it possible to configure SQL Job to run SSIS installed in another machine?
I would appriciate any help on this issue.
Thanks
SSIS Design Question - New To SSIS, Please Comment! :)
Feb 20, 2008Hello everyone!!
I am completely new to SSIS and have been given a large project (of course with a tight deadline) that has the absolute requirement of using SSIS. I am/was very, very good with DTS and could easily accomplish what I need to do with an ActiveX script task in DTS in no time, but as this is new development, we are not to use ActiveX script tasks within SSIS since it will not be supported in the next SQL Server release. I'm thinking script task, but please give some comments on how you would accomplish the following in SSIS (please remember I'm new to SSIS, so don't assume I know anything. )
I must accomplish this: in a nutshell, I need to create separate tab delimited text files of customer informaion. One for each region. Each region consists of X amount of states and we have X amount of regions. (Pseudo code followed by standard explanation)
Select a max value from region lookup table in SQL (this is the # of regions)
for N=1 to MyMaxValue
select states from region lookup table where region code = N (the current region we are on)
'this returns a list of states in a region, need these in array or recordset object or something
Open an output file which will be a tab delimited text file we will write results below in loop to (in DTS I would programatically kick off a transformation task in the package)
'loop thru states returned, so if in a rs object...
do while not rs.eof
execute customer stored procedure, passing as a variable the current state we are on
'this will return all customers within a state, this whole result set (approx 1 million) needs to go to the tab delimited file
'I have to execute this stored procedure for each state & then write results to the SAME file, until we are onto a different region
rs.movenext
close file
loop
next
OK, so basically, as you can see, Its sort of simple in a way what I need to do, i just have no idea how to go about doing this in SSIS. I can not hard code any state or region values. I MUST read them in from the lookup tables as region codes are constanatly changing and we are constantly adding in new states and new regions, so with above coding idea, it would always dynamically pick up any new states, new regions or changes.
So in a nutshell, I need to create separate tab delimited text files of customer informaion. One for each region. Each region consists of X amount of states and there are X amount of regions. Pretty strait forward, huh? The requirements are strait forward, but SSIS is throwing me for a loop... it does not seem flexible enough to be as dynamic as I need it to be to do this. I'm sure it is, just my understanding of it is very basic so far.
Please provide your suggestions! I think a lot of newbies would benefit from some SSIS design info... how to do common things in SSIS, but beyond just retrieving a recordset and writing it to a file... what do you do when you need to add just a few layers of decision processing, and retriving recordsets and writing files based on that decision processing?????
THANK YOU!!!!!!

Fuzzy Search - Exposing SSIS Fuzzy Capabilities Outside Of SSIS?
Apr 15, 2008
I've been looking into ways to accomplish a fuzzy search and SSIS makes that possible if I want to do a bulk import or something like it. But what it I just want to look stuff up at any given time not haveing to run the package?
Is it possible to expose the fuzzy lookup outside of SSIS to for example t-sql?
Here's an example:
I want to lookup the music artist "Notorious BIG" but in the database it is "Notorious B.I.G." if I use the SSIS fuzzy lookup I basically get what I'm looking for. But how would I call this from a web application? So then I tried Full text search but this doesn't really work out as well.
Will I have to re-write the logic that the fuzzy lookup uses to enable it to work? i.e. using Full Text Indexes and FreeTextTable, ContainsTable, SoundEx and the like to somewhat even come close to what the Fuzzy Lookup has?

How SSIS Works With Cluster SQL And Non Cluster SSIS Service?
Mar 14, 2008
According to microsoft, we can cluster SSIS service but it is NOT RECOMMENDED.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345193.aspx
Now this is the situation that I have where I need to understand how SSIS works?
Enviornment: Active Active cluster enviornment for SQL server with SSIS server installed as stand alone as default on both node.
Name: Node 1 Node 2
--------- -------------- ---------------------
Server name: Nd1 Nd2
SQL server name: cs-nd1in01 cs-nd2in02
SSIS server name: Nd1 Nd2
BTW, this is cosolidated enviornment so there are more than one application expected and resides on each instance of SQL server.
The question is around SSIS, what would be the best practice to develop SSIS package that can work with above envoinrment.
Secnario: What if my Nd1 fails. SQL server cs-nd1IN01 will be failover to Nd2 and it will be available. But How about SSIS packages? How that understands
to use Nd2 SSIS as Nd1 SSIS is not available. Is anyone has similar experience to setup SSIS in cluster envionrment but as non-cluster service?
Please help. Thanks in adavance.

SSIS, Asp.net And IIS
Aug 14, 2007 I am having all sorts of access issues when trying to execute a package from a .net interface (an intranet webform) using packagename.execute.
There are millions of posts out there raising this issue (including
some on this website), but no one has yet come up with a solution. This is a summary of the matter, I hope some .net guru comes across this post :I created an intranet webpage that takes 4 parameters and passes it to an SSIS package. Then I use packagename.execute
to execute this package. All this works fine when I run the web page
from Visual Studio. But if I configure my local IIS and run it thru
that, then I get all sorts of access denied messages. I started off
using integrated windows authentication. I tried all sorts of
combinations (on IIS) where I selected digest authentication and
windows authenthication, with and without anonymus access and so on. (I
also played around with impersonation). But I always got stopped at an
access denied message usually about access being denied to NT
Authority. Although its worth mentioning that if I just access data
from a table and display it on the webpage without any package being
involved, then it works fine. From my understanding the difference
between running it from within Visual Studio and local IIS is that
visual studio inbuilt IIS uses kerberos authentication and installed
IIS (5.1 , 6.0 etc) uses NTLM by default. I tried changing the default
authentication for the inbuilt IIS to kerberos by fiddling with the
metabase. But then I couldn't even get to the webpage, it always denied
access no matter how many times I entered my user id and password. Now
I didn't want to go through this huge documentation
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/technologies/security/tkerbdel.mspx)
on kerberos to fix my problem so I turned to SQL
authentication. I tried placing the package on local file system and in
SQL Server, but either way I always ended up facing a brick wall due to
some sort of an access denied message. On the webpage I get a success
message for the package execution, but when I check the database I see
that the package has not executed at all. Then when I check the log I
see these messages Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 8. Login failed for user '*******'. [CLIENT: <local machine>]Instead of the stars it shows the actual username (I put in the stars) I
tried giving the SQL server account all sorts of access rights, I set
him up as the dbo of all tables in the database. Nevertheless I was
sure even before trying that it wouldn't help because if I am not
executing a package and just executing stored procedures thru that
account, then everything worked fine. On another note does Microsoft
just build stuff and throw it out there without even testing? Go figure. Is
there anyone who has executed a package through a web page using the
installed IIS (5.1 or above) and deployed that web page on a server?
Anybody??
DTS && SSIS - Much Cop?
Nov 8, 2006Hi I am in the job market at the moment and keep seeing DTS listed as a requirement in the specs, typically right after "excellent T-SQL Skills". I kind of thought the latter made the former redundant. I don't really use DTS anymore - debugging a complex package is about as excruciating as pulling teeth - and just do it all in SQL. Load the data into staging tables using BULK INSERT and bugger about with it there before loading into the data tables. Am I missing something? Is there some great feature and functionality in DTS (or latterly in SSIS) that I am missing out on? Perhaps I just haven't come across the complex problems these organisations have.... Or is it just another drag and drop GUI that keeps you at arms length from the application and therefore less effective? Are DTS advocates the sort that would swear by EM over QA too? I have DTS on my CV since I can (and have) used it but I am nervous that there are perhaps some advanced features I am not familiar with that could catch me out at interview. I know there are some vehement critics of DTS on this forum and some agnostics but I don't know of anyone that is a real fan. Anyone got any opinions? Ta
