Hi I've not done much work on reporting services before.
I've made a change on my page and i can see the change on the preview its just a drop down list containing the week number.
But i can see to get to deploy these changes when i build my package it builds fine but when i go to deploy it am getting this error message
The item '/Data sources' already exist
I am attempting to use the foreach loop structure in an SSIS package toloop through however many Excel files are placed in a directory andthen perform an import operation into a SQL table on each of thesefiles sequentially. The closest model for this that I was able to findin the MS tutorial used a flat file source rather than Excel. Thatinvolved adding a new expression to the Connection Manager that set theconnection string to the current filename, as provided by the foreachcomponent. That works just fine, but when I attempt to apply the samemethod to an Excel source, rather than a flat file source, I cannot getit to work. I see the following error associated with the Excel sourceon the Data Flow page: "Validation error. Data Flow Task: Excel Source[1]: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "ExcelConnection Manager 1" failed with error code 0xC020200." I think thatit's just a matter of getting the right expression, and I thought thatperhaps I should be constructing an expression for ExcelFilePath ratherthan the Connection String, but I have fiddled with it for hours andhaven't come up with something that will be accepted. Has anybody outthere been able to do this, or can perhaps refer me to somedocumentation that contains an example of what I am trying to do?Thanks for any help you can give.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've encountered a few problems using SSIS against non-SQL Server data
sources and was hoping that others might have some experience. Google
searches and browsing MSDN hasn't led me to a solution, so any advice
on the following is appreciated:
1) When using the "Data Source Views" wizard to add a data source
view from an ODBC data source, only tables appear in the object
listing. Views do not. (I've also observed this with SQL Server 2005
databases as well, but it's a bigger issue when you can't use the native SqlClient, as is the case for many ODBC-only databases.) ODBC traces show that both table and
view metadata is being returned to SSIS correctly, so it appears as
though SSIS is filtering out views from the object listing in the
wizard.
2) When creating named queries against (non-SQL Server) ODBC data
sources, SSIS appears to use the SQL Server SQL syntax for referencing
schemas/objects (e.g. "SELECT * FROM [schema].[table]", rather than
"SELECT * FROM schema.table"). This isn't valid SQL in many databases.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to change this through some
configuration setting?
I had posted this in the following pre-existing thread :
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=89737&SiteID=1
Also wanted to start a thread on this to see if I can get some suggestions. Any suggestions on how to do this are appreciated.

Books-Online quote:
>> In Integration Services, data sources are design-time objects that you use when you build packages in SSIS Designer.
This is indeed the case but why? I would like to see it changed or provide some way of including the data source in some kind of a "solution/project configuration", the same way one can create a "package configuration" right now.
If one can build a project, and create a deployment utility to deploy the entire project (all packages), it is incoceivable why one shouldn't be able to set configurations at a "project" level.
Right now I am having to create package configurations to configure my connection setting for dev/test/prod etc environments. But the trouble is, if I have 10 packages each involving 3 connections in my project, I have only 3 data sources in my project, but come deployment time, I'm having to create 10 package configurations, and set my ConnectionString (which is different for dev/test/prod etc) 30 times during deployment.
If there is a better way to do it, I would like to know. Otherwise, this is what I would like to see in the next SP.

Hi:
I am new to SSIS. I would like to know if I want to transfer data from one Oracle schema to another Oracle schema and also to do scheduling of the packages, can I still use SSIS? If yes, what are the components that need to be installed on the database server and the development environment? I hope I don't need the full SQL Server database installation in order to use SSIS.
Thanks!

Currently, I am using T-SQL to combine some data and using an ISNULL function like this:
,ISNULL(H.Last_Name, S.PatientLastName)
,ISNULL(H.First_Name, S.PatientFirstName)
I am wanting to change from using a query to move this data to using an SSIS Data Flow. I am familiar with using Merge Join to combine the two tables (H & S in this case), but I'm not sure where I can use the ISNULL in the manner described above. Is there a way to do it in the Merge Join? Do I have to do it after the Merge Join?
Hi,
I have the following scenario: N identical Databases (corresponding to different Fiscal Years, with names <Company Name>.<YEAR>). We want to consolidate the N DBs to a New Datawarehouse.
In SSIS we have designed a Dataflow that reads through a OLE DB Source (Connected to one of the N Databases) and maps to a OLE DB Destination (Connected to the NEW DB).
The question is, how we loop in SSIS through the N identical Connections, so to repeatedly execute the designed Dataflow, each time with a different Connection?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
I'm trying to replicate a SQL join across two seperate data sources in SSIS. If I were to write SQL to do this, it would be as follows:
SELECT Costs.CostRateEntryId,
Costs.UserId,
Costs.HourlyRate * 8 AS DailyCostRate,
Dates.DateKey,
Dates.ActualDate,
FROM Costs
INNER JOIN Dates ON Dates.ActualDate >= Costs.EffectiveDate AND Dates.ActualDate <= Costs.EndDate
Unfortunately, as the tables 'Dates' and 'Costs' are in two seperate SQL2005 systems, I can't really do this. I was hoping that it could be achieved in SSIS, but I cant seem to find any way that I can do a join that's <= or >=.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I'm just beginning to use SSIS (bracing for a steep learning curve due to lack of helpful documentation) and am starting out trying use the Import and Export Wizard. On the "Choose a Data Source" page there is a dropdown for the Data Source. I see a list of possible data providers, but not one of "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers," which is the one I wanted to use because I'm trying to connect to an obscure database. So I figured that I need to use ".Net Framework Data Provider for Odbc." Unfortunately, regardless of what I enter for the Connection string or the Dsn or the Driver I invariably get an error, although it's somewhat dependent on that I have entered for those three items.
Either this (when I type in a DSN)
Cannot get the supported data types from the database connection "Dsn=Terrascan_Okanogan_WA".
or this (if I enter a full connection string and a driver)
The operation could not be completed.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
of this (if I enter a DSN and a driver)
Cannot get the supported data types from the database connection "Dsn=Terrascan_Okanogan_WA;Driver={SmartWare Driver}".
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Specified cast is not valid. (System.Data)
So I have a couple questions. First, why doesn't "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers" appear in the list of data sources, and secondly, when using the ".Net Framework Data Provider for Odbc" data source what inputs are expected because whatever I'm doing doesn't seem to work?
Hi,
I am trying to deploy SSIS package through manifest file on a server. It gives the following message.
'Could not save the package "C:Package Pathpackagename.dtsx" to SQL Server "(local)"'.
Additional Information:
The SaveToSQLServer method has encountered OLE DB error code 0x8004E14 (invalid Target Directory. You must choose a project folder to store your package. If this is a permanent package, contact your DBA to create a project folder.
I have tried to create the package folder on the same path it is trying to save the package. But still i get the same error.
Is this a permission issue? I have all rights on sql server.
Thanks
Hi guys,
I manage to get the SSIS working. Now I would need to do these tasks.
I first want to get data from 2 different sql servers. What would be the best method to accomplish this? Both are in Sql Server 2005.
Secondly I want to make sure if any of the servers couldn't be found on the network or in any case the getting data task failed for any one of them the package won't continue and an email should be send to an email address.
Thirdly If everything is ok then I should combine both and generate one sequence no for them and save them on to another location and then generate a file with modified values.
Can anyone help me regarding these tasks?
Thank you

script in SSIS to check data connections/sources and send an email if it fails validation. I found this script online, but I'm not real good with scripting and only VB scripting at that.How can I modify this script or is there another one here that will do what I need. The data connection in question links to Salesforce and will fail validation if the password/security token is invalid.
The reason I need this script is that we have no control over the password changes and need to know if the salesforce team changes the password without informing us.

Hello Everyone,
I make a report to consume a SSIS package, actually I use SSIS to load a datasheet on my Sql Server database, then i expose the aggregate values in a datareader destination. Every work fine in Visual Studio. But when i deploy my report and my Shared Data Source, and I try to run the report i get the next message:
An error has occurred during report processing.
No se puede crear una conexión al origen de datos 'ETLSource'.
The package failed to validate.
I dont Understand why, because when i work in BIDS the work perfect, Actually i'm using sql server authentication in my package connection to avoid the mistakes about report credentials.
That is the code of the ETLSource.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Also I have SSIS and SSRS in the same machine. And I'm using the same domain Account to run SSIS, SSRS and Reports site.
Thank you for help me

When deploying a project from within a SSIS project in Visual Studio 2012 to SQL Server 2012 Integration services server I get the follwoing error message:
Failed to deploy project. For more information, query the operation_messages view for the operation identifier '10'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 27203)
For the given operation id there is no entry in view catalog.operation_messages.
My colleague is working on bulk insert task from SSIS and since the data file does not contain any valid delimeter one of the suggestion he got is to use a file format to address the issue. Thus a bcp command is used to generate the format file, as per below.
bcp <database name>.dbo.<table name> format nul -T -S <server name> -n -f out.fmt
The file file format was generated, from the data flow we added the BULK INSERT task and set the properties accordingly including the File Format and location of the file. Upon running the task itself we encountered the error as per below.
[Bulk Insert Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot bulk load. The file "C:HFISTAT.fmt" does not exist.".
Progress: The Bulk Insert task is completed. - 100 percent complete
Task Bulk Insert Task failed
Have checked the file and it is in C: drive and it is not protected or read-only. Validated the output file and it is as per expected. Any help would be appreciated very much.
I am working on SSIS wehre I need to work on a flat file as a source and needed to import it to database. If the destination table have the record already, I need to update it and if not exist, I just need to import the whole data.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I am looking for a way to leave a Data Flow Task destination table name as-is, and have SSIS auto-create the table if it doesn't exist already.
I searched on this in the forums but based on the question it's difficult to kow if it has been answered or not.
Details:
I am writing some SSIS packages that need to be executable on another server. Many of the Data Flow Tasks copy data (such as from a Fuzzy Grouping transformation, and lots of other stuff) into a new table. But the other server will not have these tables set up for the first run.
My current solution is to check information_schema.tables and drop IF EXISTS. But, then the Data Flow Task will not work (becase table does not exist). So, I script to new window a create table statement based on the existing table that I use in my dev environment. This is a hack and I want to find a better method.
It is quite possible (although unlikely) that the source columns could be changed in the future, or some query used to pull the data might be modified. If this happens, then I would need to change the CREATE TABLE Execute SQL task. I want my package to accommodate without having to modify it.
When I use the Import/Export Wizard, I can select a table name from the drop down list OR type in a new name. When I type in the new name, it assumes I want to create the table. NOW, is there a way to mimic this in BI Developer Studio? Yep, I saved the Wizard version of the SSIS package and all it does is run a CREATE TABLE statement first.

I created a SSIS package and several data flow componenets for this package.
What does strategy exist to deploy SSIS package and data flow components into a enterparise server?
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to edit the Expressions of a Data Flow task. This seems to happen when I rename some of the Data Flow components but not always. The error I get is:

Hello all,
I have a branch a data, now i need to search through a database to check whther it is exist in that database or not, any syggestion?
Example:
Now i have data 123, 234, 345. Let say data 123 and 234 is exist in that database, but data 345 is not exist in that database.
What SQL am i suitable to use to get those result exist(123, 234) and those result not exist (345)?
The database structure is someting like this:
ID NAME O_NAME
-- ----- --------
1 120 123
2 234 234
3 345 345
1) The data consider 'exist' if it exist in column NAME or column O_NAME (either one).
2) The data consider 'not exist' if it not exist in neither NAME column nor O_NAME column
After the SQL query, someting is expected:
Exist:
ID NAME O_NAME
-- ----- --------
1 120 123
2 234 234
Not Exist:
ID NAME O_NAME
-- ----- --------
3 345 345
I'll appreciate if anyone can provide me a solution..Thanks!
Hi
We are storing our packages in File System.
Process:
BIDS->Right Click on soln file ->properties->Deployment Utility->DeploymentOutputPath--BinDeployment
So it creates a folder with the project name and all the packages in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPackagesProject
While executing the package on Server what should be thesource of the Package? I mean should it refer to the solution file->..dtsx
or
BinDeployment->packages
or
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSPackagesProject
I need to periodically import a (HUGE) table of data from an external data source (not SQL Server) into SQL Server, with the following scenarios:
Some of the records in the external data source may not exist in SQL.Some of the records in the external data source may have a different value at different imports, but this records are identified univocally by the same primary key in the external datasource and in SQL Server.Some of the records in the external data source may be the same in SQL.
Due to the massive volume of the import, I would like to import only the records which are different from what I have in SQL Server (cases 1 and 2 above). In fact case 2 is the most critical.
I thought of making a query with a left outer join between the data in the external data source table (SOURCE) and the data in the SQL Server table (DESTIN). The join is done on the respective primary keys (composed keys of up to 10 columns) and one of the WHERE conditions will be that the value in SOURCE is different from the value in DESTIN.
The result of this query would be exactly what I need to import.
How to do this in SSIS??? I couldn't figure out how to join tables in different data sources yet.
In fact I cannot write a stored procedure to do that, since one of the sources is in a datasources not SQL Server.
I have seen the Lookup transformation in this article http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?311 but this is not exacltly what I want to do.
Another possibility is to use the merge join, but due to the sorting I believe its performances would be terrible!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Hi
I am fairly new to SSIS and I have a number of questions concerning deploying SSIS packages and Configuration Files
The SSIS packages will be deployed to three environments (DEV, TEST,PROD - this is a clustered environment) and will be executed by SQL Server Agent Jobs. There will be a need for different configuration values for each environment (file import directory, database server connectivity) , the configurations will be reused by mulitple packages.
I have decided to deploy the packages and configuration files to a file directory in the format
<<DRIVE LETTER>>SSIS PackagesPackages
<<DRIVE LETTER>>SSIS PackagesConfiguration Files
The questions are:
1) I storing the packages/config files to a file directory the best approach, or should I be deploying the packages to SQL or file ( C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server 90DTSPackages)
2) Is it best to have different configuration files for each environment (dDBConn_DEV.dtsconfig, dDBConn_TEST) or have the same config file and then change the values during deployment (via scripts).
3) What is the best way to deploy the packages and config files to the different environments (rather do it via scripts than the deployment utility)
4) Where is the best place to store the config files (I have one VS 2005 project per package, the confi files are used by multiple packages), TFS is our source control software
5) Does any one know of a good website to look at for best practice when deploying packages and config files

Hi,
I have some questions.
Regarding SQL Server deployment, it says to use this option if sharing packages between servers. Does this mean sharing packages between development, test, and production environments? Or just sharing among production servers?
That is, I am trying to determine if I should deploy my packages on SQL Server, or just store them on the local file system. These packages will NOT be used on any other production server. So should I just keep them on the file system?
Another question. I see that I have a package stored in the "sysdtspackages90" table in the msdb database. Since I have not done any SQL Server deployment yet, I don't understand how this particular package ended up in this table. Is it OK to remove? I think this is a previous version of a package that I have since re-written. Are there any dependencies on this "sysdtspackages90" table that I should be aware of?
Thanks!

I am currently in the process of trying to migrate from DTS to SSIS. SSIS is totally new to me and I am trying to put together a mechanism for easily moving packages between our Development, Test, and Production environments. I have done some investigating into using Configurations to accomplish this. What I basically need to do it update my Connection objects when moving between environments without having to recompile. The optimal solution is that the Connection objects dynamically update, but I'm not sure this is possible. I think some of this could be done with Configurations, but one catch is that I need to have the packages running on both environments.I have been able to put this all together to figure out a good solution for this and I was hoping some of you on the forums could give me some ideas.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis maybe simple question but I can not seem to figure it out. If you use the deployment utility to deploy your package how do you specify a different SSIS directory to install it to. For instance when I'm in SSIS under stored packages > MSDB > I created a folder called package 1. I want to install to that folder. The only way I can do it is to manually import the package from SSIS.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am pretty new to SSIS. I am trying to create a package which can accept data in any of several formats. i.e. CSV, Excel, a SQL Server database/table and import the data into my destination database.
So far i've managed to get this working OK. However I am now TOTALLY stuck. I'm currently trying to just concentrate on the data sources being a CSV (using a Flat File Data Source) and/or an Excel Spreadsheet.
I can get the data in and to my destination using a UNION ALL component and mapping the data sources to it so long as both the CSV file and the Excel spreadsheet exist.
My problem is that I need my package to handle the possibility that only the CSV file might exist and there is no Excel spreadsheet. In which case i'd like the package to ignore the Excel datasource completely. Currently either of my data sources do not exist I get errors and the package terminates.
Is there any way in SSIS that I can check all my data sources to see which ones exist (i.e. are valid). If they exist I want to use them. If it doesn't exist i'd like to disgard it (without error - as long as there is a single datasource the package should run)
I've tried using the AcquireConnection method in a script task on each of my connections, hoping that it would error if the file/datasource did not exist. It doesn't though (in the case of an Excel datasource it just creates a empty excel file for me).
The only other option I can come up with are to have seperate packages depending on the type of data we want to import and then run a particular package depending on the format of the source data. This seems a bit long winded. I am pretty sure I must be able to do what I want to achieve but I can't work out how.
I'll be grateful to anyone who can send me any tips/hints/links on how I can achieve this.
Many thanks

Hi, i'm wondering which is the best way to search data in a SQL Server.
I reach data using Data Sources and Data Views and also with OLE DB Source with a Data access mode: Named query.
I have to write the data into a Flat File. So, does any one knows which is the best practice for this? Or any one of the two are good choices?
Thanks for your help.

In my project i want a report. In that report data is getting from more than one data sources(systems). While creating data source view i used named query for both primary and secondary data source. But at the time of crating "Report Model" i am getting below error.
An error occurred while executing a command.
Message: Invalid object name 'Table2'.
Command:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT SerialNum, ModelNum AS com_model
FROM Table2) t
Is there any way to create a report with multiple data sources?
Hi all :)
I'm wondering if SSIS will be the solution to the problem I'm working on.
Some of our customers give us an Excel sheet with data they want to insert or update in the database.
I've created a package that will take an Excel sheet, do some data conversion so the data types match up and after that I use a Slowly Changing Data component to create the insert/update commands.
This works great. If a customer adds a new row to the Excel sheet or updates an existing row changes are nicely reflected in the database.
But now I€™ve got the following problem. The column names and the order of the columns in the Excel sheet are not standard and in the future it could happen a customer doesn't even use an Excel sheet but something totally different.
Can I use SSIS for this? Is it possible to let the user set the mappings trough some sort of user interface? I€™ve looked at programmatically creating the package but I€™ve got to say that€™s quit hard to do€¦ It would be easier to write the whole thing myself than to create the package trough code ;)
If not I thought about transforming the data in code before I pass it on to the SSIS package in something like XML. That way I can use standard column names and data types.
So how should I solve this problem? Use SSIS or not?
Thnx :)
