Thanks,

Integration Services :: SSIS Package Configuration Option Resets When Collapsing / Expanding Options Tree
Oct 22, 2014On Visual Studio 2013 with SSDT for SQL Server 2014
I noticed something very strange.
I am viewing the package configuration selected option for a package:
Now, i just click on the - sign and then on the plus sign on the "Properties" branch. And the option is cleared:
The ONLY way i found not to mess everything is just to have ALL the options FULL expanded and THEN to select what i want.

Remote Access Server Configuration Option And Remote Query Timeout?
Jun 2, 2015- When I disable "allow remote connections to this server" from server properties>connection page, I can still remotely connect to the server from SSMS...so what is the impact of enable/disabling it?
- what is the impact of changing the remote query timeout (on the same page) from default value?
SSIS Import Option Missing

Issues With Logging Option In SSIS
Jun 18, 2007
Hi,
I have enabled logging in my package and am using sql table to capture. i have defined a connection for it and i have defined it in the logging option. Once the logging is enabled, using package configurations, i am storing the value for the property "logging mode= 1", which means enabled in the table. But when i close and reopen the package, the package is failing to enable the logging. Even though i have stored the logging mode value in the configurations table, it is not getting enabled. Please help me solve this.
Workaround i have tried is declaring a variable explicitly to store the logging mode value and use it in the expressions of the pkg to define the logging mode. This variable is saved in the configuration table. This way works. but i want to know why it is not working with loggingmode value reading directly from configuration entries.

EncryptSensitiveWithPassword Protection Option Cannot Be Used With DTexec Execution Of SSIS Packages
Nov 6, 2006Our SSIS packages use the Web Service Task to call services to send email and write package failure data to a department wide database. These Web Service Calls are failing with HTTP 401 errors. It was caused by the passwords for the HTTP connections not being saved when the SSIS pkgs were saved to .dtsx files. I have tried saving the package with a password and the EncryptSensitiveWithPassword protection option. This password can be supplied when the package is called from another package or a package is executed in Visual Studio but cannot be supplied to DTexec to execute the package in a job. DTexec does have a /Password parameter but it is rejected if the package is loaded from a .dtsx file.
This appears to be a bug in DTexec. It only accepts the /Password parameter when the package is loaded with the /SQL option. Specifying /Password and /File is not supported.
Is this a known bug? Are there any workarounds?
Has anyone successfully called a Web Service from SSIS executed via DTexec?
SSIS Too Strict On Conversion With No Option To Overwrite, Forcing Me To Use DTS 2000 Packages
Nov 1, 2007This is more of a philosophical post, but feedbacks are welcome!
I am working at migrating SQL 2000 DTS packages that pulls data from MAS90 via ODBC connections.
At first, I REALLY tried to learn SSIS and I hated it at first, with all the new things one has to do to get a simple import to work. After a while, I begin to appreciate some of the new design and the more tiered approach. Indeed, I tried to use SSIS to import the tables and even learned how to overcome the Unicode/non-Unicode conversion errors by using the Import Wizard to do the grunt work.
But today I came across a show stopper: My imports are failing because the source lied about its metadata type and I am getting a "Value too large for output column" error. I tried to recreate the Task to no avail. I searched on the web and there are very few posts regarding to this and unfortunately I don't have a way to tweak my ODBC connection properties for MAS90 to some how "fool" SSIS. I finally give up and migrate the DTS 2000 package instead.
I am not too happy about this solution because I know that more likely or not Microsoft will discontinue support for such legacy approach and then it is more work down the road. I REALLY wanted to do it right, to rebuild it natively in SSIS but why does SSIS have to make things so hard by enforcing the type checks so tightly? Is it so bad to allow users who know the data better to by pass the validations? We are not working in a perfect Comp Sci 101 world where every thing is scrubbed clean, we work in a world of bad, old, malformed data.
If there is a way for me to overcome that "value too large" error, I am all ears.
Thank you for reading.

Apr 27, 2008Hi everyone In my SqlServer Management Studio Express, on start up it shows the server type option, but greyed.So that value is fixed to database engine. ( I'm trying to work on an SqlServer Compact Edition database through the SSMStudiothat's why I'm trying to get this to change.)Besides, after I connect i go to the Object Explorer, expand the server node, and go to Replication.When i expand replication, i get the "Local Subscription" option, but nothng for Publication.( I want to work on Merge Replication, that's why I desparately need Publication to work)Am i missing something here? I did not install SqlServer separately, I only have what comes bundled with the Visual Studio 2005 Setup.

[help] SSIS File Configuration (XML)
Apr 3, 2007We are deploying our SSIS packages into different folders. For example:
Test1
est2
production
Test1 points to the Test1 database, etc.
So, I configured my SSIS package to use a database connection called dbMAIN.
I then setup the SSIS File Configuration (XML) so that "dbMain" points to Test1. This xml file, called Global.dtsConfig, sits in C: est1, the same place as my ssis.dtsx file.
I want to copy my dtsx file and my dtsconfig file into est2 and production. The problem is that the the location of dtsconfig is HARDCODED in the ssis package!
How do I dynamically change it?
I tried to hardcode the location to ".Global.dtsconfig", but that did not work! Please advise!
SSIS Package Configuration
Apr 12, 2007Hi, I'm facing a problem that I'm trying to solve. I report it in the following hoping somone can help me!
the context:
- I have a solution containing almost 20 packages
- I have a main package containing the sequences (Sequence Container) calling all others packages (Execute Package Task)
- every package has the connections to its own DBsource ; so the package X has the its own connections to DBsourceA and DBsourceB, the package Y has the its own connections to DBsourceB, DBsourceC, DBsourceD and the destination DB is unique for all the packages.
My problem is:
I have the necessity to define in the best way a config (one for all the dtsx, possibly) that allow me to manage easily the switch from the developing env to the deployment env, basically for the DB connections.
Which is the best way to do this and can anyone tell me the steps to follow?
SSIS Custom Configuration
Feb 5, 2008Hi all,
I have finished the development of an SSIS package but I would like to make it a bit more flexible by adding a configuration file. The script migrates a database from a source to a destination and syncs with another source.
So there is the source db and the destination db. However, I have noticed that standard SSIS configurations can get a little tricky. For instance, I have two connection managers for the destination db (one that points to the schema and one that doesnt). So my question is: Is there any way to create a config file thta you can input a few attributes like sourceDB, destinationDB, schemaName and get the package itself to parse and process it?
Thanks,
Yannis
SSIS Package Configuration.
Jan 3, 2007I'm facing a little problem concerning package configuration that is using a SQL table.
I have 4 exactly the same Db's on the same SQL server, each with another name of course (Dbipa, DbIpB, DbIpC & DbIpD).
My developers created 4 exactly the same SSIS packages with 4 exactly the same jobs, each for his own DB only the connection settings are different.
Now I was trying to manage this with only one SSIS package by using an SSIS Package configuration table in each DB.
I thought it would be possible to start the package with the following parameter
/SET Package.Connections[SQL].InitialCatalog;DBIPA OR
/SET Package.Connections[SQL].InitialCatalog;DBIPB OR
/SET Package.Connections[SQL].InitialCatalog;DBIPC OR
/SET Package.Connections[SQL].InitialCatalog;DBIPD
But this doesn't work because before he changes the initial catalog in the connection named SQL, he already did the loading of the SSIS_Configuration table. So he point always to the same config table.
Is there a way to change the connection before the package configuration is being executed.

SSIS Package XML Configuration
Nov 9, 20061) We are doing data migration from SQL Server 2000 OLTP design to SQL Server 2005 OLAP design.
2) We have used SSIS packages and data flow tasks in which we mentioned connection strings for source and target containers.
3) We have a master execute package which contains series of execute packages in relational order.
4) When we execute this master package, we should be able to dynamically specify different source and connection strings for all packages.
5) In master execute package, we generate an XML configuration file using SSIS -> Package Configurations... using Connection Managers -> Particular connection
6) Now, we change connection string to point to another database after adding this new OLE DB connection in Connection Manager of each and every package.
7) When we save, build and execute master package it is still executing migration packages against the old database. Please let me know what I am missing.

One being : Specify configurations directly.
next : config location is stored in env variable.
How to use the second option?[ env variable]. Say I want to configure my connection string for my destination database [ OLEDB Destination Component]. How to do that using second option.

SSIS Configuration Files
Jul 17, 2007Hello,
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!

Package Configuration In SSIS
May 29, 2007Hi,
I am new to SSIS. I have an SSIS package which we are storing it in the application server ( not in SQL Server ). We are storing the database name etc.. in package configuration. Where should I store the configuration file? In app server or in the database server. Also please tell how to execute the package stored as file system.
Thanks

SSIS Registry Configuration
Apr 27, 2006Hi,
I have an SSIS Package which reads the properties values from Registry. As per the constraint of SSIS I have created the keys under HKCU in the registry and things work fine from the designer.
But, when I schedule the SSIS Package to run under SQL Agent (which is running under Local System) the values of configuration do not seem to be picked up from Registry.
How I tested was:
I am picking up the server name for the Connection Manager from Registry and I set that value to an invalid servername. But, the job seems to be executing fine.
Using DTEXEC it fails as expected since, this is running under my credentials.
Also, SYSTEM has full control on the new regsitry keys.
Any information on this?
Thanks,
Gaurav
SSIS Configuration File
May 28, 2007Hello All,
In my project, developers enable configuration on the packages they develop. This means that if a project has 100 packages, each one has its own configuration file.
If our primary database server changes, I have to go an update 100 configuration files.
This defeats the purpose of having a configuration file in the first place.
I want to have a configuration file which contains common settings for all the packages in the project.
At the same time, I should have the flexibility of having individual configuration files for the project.
Is this possible and how can I do this?
SSIS Configuration In Different Environments
Jul 5, 2006Hello,
I want to store each SQL Server's (prod, test, etc) connection string in XML to make deployment & configuration easy. However, the connection string must be encrypted. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how to accomplish both. I know how to encrypt it but I dont think SSIS can work with it.
Any help would be appreciated.
SSIS Configuration Files - How Do You Use The Things?
Oct 16, 2006http://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!

However, when I try to execute the package using Sql authentication, login fails for the user i am specifying. When I check out the configuration file, the connection string does not contain the password. I added the password to the connection string, but it does not cone back. I followed the instructions found on the following site:

Configuration Settings In A DLL Called From SSIS
May 27, 2008OK, here's the scenario:
I have some libraries (DLL) that I call from a regular console application. The data access methods get the connection string from the app.config, nothing special there.
The thing is: now I need to use the libraries inside a SSIS package. I call them from a script task, and everything is fine, except for the connection string.
Is there a way that I can get the connection string from the SSIS package configuration like I would from the app.config? Maybe some alternative to ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ConnString"] in the DTS Runtime?
Thanks in advance...

SSIS DTS Configuration File Issue
Nov 14, 2007I have an SSIS package (which is already delivered to the customer, so I can't change it), but I want to switch off (disable) one of the elements. I use a dtsConfig file (XML), so I want to just send an update to that config file to switch off the element.
So, I used the Package Configurations Organizer to generate a new config file with the element switched off, and it generated the following:-
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="PackageRun Data LoadForeach Data FileLoad Invalid Format Recs into rej_dat_format_errors.Properties[Disable]" ValueType="Boolean">
<ConfiguredValue>0</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>
So I copied these lines into my "production" config file and ran the package, but got the following warning message:-
Warning: 0x80012017 at ImportData: The package path referenced an object that cannot be found: "PackageRun Data LoadForeach Data FileLoad Invalid Format Recs into rej_dat_format_errors.Properties[Disable]". This occurs when an attempt is made to resolve a package path to an object that cannot be found.
Can anyone explain why? Is there some issue with having spaces in the Path name perhaps? Is there some syntax to get around it? Why did it generate a Path that is wrong?
Thanks

SSIS Package Configuration Filter
Jul 24, 2006We have more than 100 packages which referenced many of the same data sources. In
ideal situation, we would like to create three master filters based on the dev, test, and prod servers and all packages can just reference the same filters. However since one package normally only use a subset of master connections defined in the configuration files, if only those subset of connections are set up in the package, when the
package is first open in BIDS, lots of errors will pop up saying that it could not find the connections defined in the configuration files. Even though this will not cost runtime error, it is still very annoying. Does anyone have better ideas on how to handle this?
Bizzarre SSIS Configuration Behavior
May 31, 2007I have an SSIS package, (actually many packages at this point because I can duplicate this problem each and every time) with an FTP Task and three connection managers (one for FTP, one for a file share, one OLEDB).
The package in its simplest form, grabs a file from an FTP site and transfers it to the file share. When there are no files found on the FTP site, the FTP task fails as expected.
Here is where it gets strange...I turned on a package configuration, with all variables / properties saved to a SQL table; all except for the OLEDB connection which I am leaving hardcoded in the package for the time being.
The problems I am seeing as soon as I activate the package configuration are twofold: The first occurs with the property "FileUsageType" defined to the file share connection. I have it set to "existing folder" in the SSIS tool, the SQL config table also has a row for this item defined with a value of 2. I have even tried manually changing this value in the SQL config table and the result is always the same error when I run the package:
Error: 0xC002F314 at FTP Task, FTP Task: File usage type of connection "Z:" should be "FolderExists" for operation "Receive".
If I remove this entry totally from the SQL config table, and leave that property hardcoded in the package then I am able to continue execution in the package and that particular error goes away. But then I come to weird problem #2: I stated above that when there are no files in the FTP directory to retrieve, then the FTP task fails, as I would expect. However, as soon as I activate the package configuration, even when there are no files at the FTP site, the FTP task doesnt fail anymore, it marks itself as successful instead. This is wreaking havoc on my precedence constraints that follow the FTP task naturally. As soon as I deactivate the package configuration, the FTP task behaves normally again.
The problems only seem to happen with config packages stored in SQL. I tested this also with XML file config instead and everything seemed to behave as it should. Unfortunately, I need to store these configs in SQL, not XML.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I need to look at to fix these weird issues?
SSIS Package Configuration Issue
May 16, 2006Gentlemen
I've been working with SSIS (SQL 2005 SP1) and I have a problem adding a package configuration of the SQL Server type. Upon completion of all steps in the wizard, the "Target Object" and "Target Property" attributes of this configuration remain empty. Hence, the package cannot set this configuration when being executed.
Does anyone know if this is a bug or have I missed something?
Thank you

SSIS XML Configuration Updating At Runtime
Jun 26, 2006How can I update a variable in the XML configuration file. Can I use the configuration object for it or do I need to use XML objects and do it just like any other XML file?
Another problem I have is, I know I can reference the same XML config file from 2 different packages. But every time I do that through the wizard, only the last package configurations are placed in the XML file.
Any help is appreciated!
