I'm new to SSIS. I need to Extract, transform and load data from one SQL table to another. I want to do something like "select count(a) from table 1 where ...."
I have define the following Data flow items on the package designer, I believe that OLE DB source & OLE DB Destination, are correctly configured, however i don't see how can i transform data on the "OLE DB COMMAND" item....should i use "data conversion" instead ?
ps: is there any site where i can find examples of data transformations ?
Hello, I would like to create a SQL Server DB on my win95 machine...I have VB Studio 97 Enterprise Edition loaded on my machine.
When I go to Interdev and try to create a Project (via New DB wizard) the first question is "What Server do you want to create your DB on?"
I haven't found ANY documentation that details how to set up the Client and the Server on the SAME machine.
1) Can you set up SQL Server in a way that the same machine is the Client and the Server? 2) Do I need anymore software than VB Studio 97 Enterprise Edition? (To setup a SQL Server DB on my machine)
I basically need guidance on how to create a DB on my local machine, so I can reference it in my ASP application.
Hi, I'm trying to read the most recent entries in a table of data. Its fairly straightforward because there is a timestamp saved when I write into the table. For a table with the following columns Username, description, location, timestamp, result1, result2 I can select the max timestamp for a username and it will return the most recent date/time that an entry was written to the table for that particular user. No problems with that. However, what I really want is to select the most recent timestamp for each location for each username; I also need the result1 and result2 fields returned. Thus for the following table: user description location timestamp result1 result2 Jo Red Hall 01/01/06 Yes Yes Jo Blue Hall 01/02/06 Yes No Jo Blue Deck 01/04/06 No No
I would like a query to return: Jo Blue Hall 01/02/06 Yes No Jo Blue Deck 01/04/06 No No The problem is if I do Select max(timestamp) as Tmstp, description, user, location, result1, result2 from tblSomeTble I will get Jo Red Hall 01/01/06 Yes Yes Jo Blue Hall 01/02/06 Yes No Jo Blue Deck 01/04/06 No No because some of the results are different and thus the SQL will return the most recent entry for each unique combination of user, location, result1 and result2. I've solved the problem by doing two separate database reads; the first does a simple Select max(timestampdescription) as Tmstp, user, location then I use VB.net to fill a dataset and read these values from the dataset and plug them into a second SQL for a second database read like: Select max(timestamp) as Tmstp, description, user, location, result1, result2 from tblSomeTble where timestamp = [timestamp from first sqlread] and user = [user] and location = [location from first sqlread] it all works fine, but I'm aware its messy and probably not very scaleable to have multiple database reads that are unnecessary. It must be a commonly encountered problem though? How do other people handle this? is there a common solution people use? thanks
I have a database on my development machine and its working fine. And I want to duplicate the database schema on the production server. What is the easiest way to do this?James
I am getting an error backing up databases on a remote SQL Server. I have tried using two options:
1. All tasks, Backup Database... (Enterprise Manager) 2. Database Maintenance Plan Wizard
In both cases, I get the following error:
2000-11-09 18:21:34.93 kernel BackupDiskFile::CreateMedia: Backup device 'FMSSQLBACKUPwOLTP_db_200011091821.BAK' failed to create. Operating system error = 5(Access is denied.).
What are the exact NT and SQL Server permissions needed to perform backups. Also, I am able to write manually to the backup directory not through the SQL Server application.
NOTE: ALTHOUGH I WAS ABLE TO REGISTER THE REMOTE SERVER USING USER sa, I CANNOT STOP OR START ANY OF THE SERVICES (SQL SERVER AGENT...) OR CONFIGURE THEIR STARTUP ACCOUNTS (GREYED OUT)!!
I have much MSACCESS expeience and am new to SQL so here goes...I am trying to create calculated fields in a view, but can't seem tomore complex calculations to work.I can create a new field which does simple arithmetic on two otherfields and rename it so it becomes part of the new view to be queriedby other views, but when I use more complicated constructs I can'tseem to get them to work.For starters:How do you create a new field that has a number based on an IFconstruct based on another field.Example:field1 has state abbrevs and field 2 should have a "1" if field1="NY".In access I do field2:IIF(field1="NY",1,0),How do I accomplish this in MS SQL.Can it be done in the view?Thanks,Brad
Sorry to bother you guys with what I though would be an easy task. Ihave a table in my database were I would like one of the rows toincrement a number for each row. I want the first row to start at 1000and keep on incrementing by 1 'till the end of the rows (about 2.7million rows). I though this would be a piece of cake, but I just can'tseem to find anything like it on the internet...weird.Anyways, I'm just a rookie in sql, any help would be appreciatedThanksJMT
Sorry for asking what may be a rookie question... We have configured transactional peer-to-peer replication in a testing environment with two servers, each publishing and subscribing to each other. If we write a piece of code that updates the same row on both servers with different values, we are not seeing data conflict issues. The data updated on server 1 propagates to server 2, but at the same time data updated on server 2 is updated on server 1. This leaves the records on each server out of data.
I expected my test case to produce errors, but instead I got inconsistent data. How do you turn on data consistency checking?
I 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.
I 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?
p.s. Does anyone have any needles I can borrow? I think sticking them in my eyes would be nicer than working with SSIS.

Hi. I need to import excel file in database. i first need to do an unpivot task. the column names are dates and SSIS seems to be unable to pick up the column name as it is replaced by F2 F3 F4etc Can you advise of a solution. thanks ken
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?
I 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. Ralph
Dear 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.
We have SQL 2008 in development but only SQL 2005 in production. I have an SSIS package that was created in 2008 but need to deploy it to a SQL 2005 server. The '05 server will not import the package because of its version. Is there a way to convert back or 'save as' SSIS '05?
I have two questions to ask in this one thread. I would appreciate any feedback.
1. Is it possible to create GUI from SSIS using macro so that it can display forms or dialogs? If so how can I create a form that can be used to pass the parameters for the execution of the SSIS??
2. Is it possible to pass parameter(s) to SSIS? If yes, how can we do it...Please provide me with any example.
Scenarion: 1.- SSIS Package execute tasks on 2000 SQL Server Database 2.- Execution takes places using Business Intelligence Studio Question: 1.- How can I tracked that SQl 2000 tasks took place using a SSIS Package?
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 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?????
Hey, I've a few jobs which call SSIS packages. If I run the SSIS package, it runs fine but if I try to run the job which calls this package, it fails. Can someone help me troubleshoot this issue? None of my jobs that call an SSIS package work. All of them fail.
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?
I am new to using FTP and executing .bat files in SSIS. First, the .ftp file should run. When it runs the FTP process, the user should be prompted for username and password. Then, it should run the .bat file. What all are the steps I need to do and how to set the properties for FTP and the Execute process task (which holds the .bat file).
And there is a task (Execute SSIS package) in First package that calls the execution of second package.
I m continuously receiving an error "Failed to decrypt protected XML node "PackagePassword" with error 0x8009000B "Key not valid for use in specified state.". You may not be authorized to access this information. This error occurs when there is a cryptographic error. Verify that the correct key is available."
As we are running first package by job, job runs successfully logging above error
The protection level of second package is set to "EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey"
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?
