All,
I am very new to Sql Server and just starting in BI.
I want to do the SSIS tutorial, but even though I have been able to attach the Adventureworks DB, I can not find the flat files that are to be loaded in the tutorial. Is there some place where I can download them from?
Any other options?
Thanks for your help.
I've downloaded from msdn and ran the samples. It installs something, but the database tree doesn't show up in sql studio. Is there a straight forward way to do something like import or restore a adventureworks database setup?

I'm working with the sample database called Adventure Works and I'm encountering data consistency issues :
If I sum the TotalDue for one particular territory, for one particular time window from the Sales. SalesOrderHeader table and if I try to compare the result to the LastYearSales and YTDSales from the Sales.SalesTerritory table, I don't get the same number, whatever I try. So did I miss something ?
How are the LastYearSales and YTDSales fields from Sales.SalesTerritory calculated ?
Thx,
Anissa

the following stuff:
AdventureWorks_Data
AdventureWorks_Log

Hi all,
I downloaded and ran AdventureWorks.msi into my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) one year ago.But I did not know how to attach it to my SSMSE then. Last week, I deleted it from the "Add or Remove" of Control Panel and I downloaded the new AdventureWork.msi and installed it my SSMSE. Today, I tried to use the Database Explorer of VB 2005 Express for the first Stored Procedure programming. I clicked on AdventureWorks.mdf and I got the following error: One or more files do not match the primary of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupt and should be restored from a backup. Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'CENADe1enxshc'. Log file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAdventureWorks_Data_log.ldf' does not match the primary file. It may be from a different database of the log may have been rebuilt previously. Please help and advise me how to correct this problem.
Thanks,
Scott Chang
Especially interested in the CodePageConvert.
Installing the .msi just creates a project folder in my Visual Studio directory. I'm unclear how to get from this point to being able to choose this component from my Toolbox items in SSIS. There was a readme file that talked about gacutil.exe and .snk files that was a above my head.
Can anyone dumb it down for me?
I am trying to write a ssis surrogate key data transform, my problem is I can't find an example how to add a column to the incoming columns and add some data to it. If anyone has a sample, can you please post it. I found a script option that works but I would like an actual transform.
Thanks
Greetings,
I have been developing VBA apps in Access and Excel for sometime and am fairly proficient in VBA. Now we are moving all of our data to SQL Server 2005. I am in need of learning how to write code for the Script Component of a data flow task. And so I have a couple of questions.
First, are there any books you recommend for learning ???? (I'm not even sure what I need to learn: .NET? ADO.NET?)
And as a follow-up, any good websites that provide good reference documentation?
And my second question is more specific to my current problem. If I had a bit of code to get me started, I'm sure I could scream all the way to the bottom of the hill.
Data source is coming from a sort task where the data is sorted by STATUS and then MOD_DATE and the AUDIT_ID.
I need to read each row and compare it to the next row. If STATUS is the same, discard the second row.
When STATUS is different, send the first row to the output (to be used by the next task in the data flow).
Using the "different" row from step 3, go to step 2.
I know how to write if statements, case statements, for/next statements. I'm just not understanding how to read the rows in and then send them back out. I've been searching for some sample code but everything I find tends to be solving much bigger issues.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Hi
Books online mention the existence of sample code for several custom tasks, including the one mentioned in the title. But, when I try to find this code in the location mentioned it is nowhere to be found.
I have run a search on the rest of my drive and come up empty.
Can anyone tell me where to find this?
Thanks

Do any one know regarding the aforesaid..

Hi,
I use an XML source to load an XML file to my db, so i genrate with sucess the xsd file but when i check OK i get an errer which is "Task mismatch of data streams [Source XML [1]] The XML source adapter does not support the model of mixed content on complex types",
"The component pipeline returned error code HRESULT 0xC02092A1 from a method call. (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)".
I've been tasked with coming up with a process to delete old files out of a certain directory. It's prefered to have a configuration file to go in and be able to change the number of days to retain files (7 for delete files older than 7 days for example). I've been told I can do this with SSIS. Can anybody point me in the right direction to do this in SSIS or even in DOS? I don't know ActiveX scripting if that's what's needed in SSIS. I prefer doing something like this in DOS but not sure it's possible to automate. Any help is appreciated.

Hi
I've recently started creating SSIS packages using Visual Studios. I am trying to find a way of zipping and archiving files in one of the packages. Is this possible?, and if so, is it possible to date stamp the zip files to?
Thanks
I would like to have a SSIS package which loops through each xml file (.xml files) in a folder on the network. And then for each file pull out the data and insert into a sql server table.
Please kindly guide me through this i.e. What task(s) are required, etc.
Thanks
I'm downloading zip'd files and would like to loop through each file that was downloaded. I'd also like to unizip each file and append all of them to one file. I have a dos batch that is fairly simple and would like to emulate it using ssis. Here is what the dos batch file looks like.
DATE /T >%TEMP%D.txt

Folks -
Did you have any success when running bat files (Execute Process Task) from SSIS through SQL Server Agent jobs? My package will succeed when I run it from my machine, when I ask the DBA to run it manually from the Server but not when we run from a job.
The job will hang and the bat file does not seem to be executed. The executable property does evaluate to the right path and the package owner does have write/execute permissions in the folder where the bat file is located.
Everything I could find close to that is under <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918760>. Would you shed any light on this? When I run the same bat file from a DTS through SQL Server Agent job, it will work with no issues. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
Hello,
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!

Hi,
I am using SSIS for sending E-Mails based on certain transactions in SQL Server. I need to dynamically populate the E-Mail content as the content some times needs to be in Japanese text. I would like to use resource files for this. Could anyone please help me on using resource files in SSIS.
Thanks in advance.
We recieve about 4 million rows of data from a client per week. Each file is a complete snapshot of their data, we need to be able to find the rows that are different or new in the current weeks file compared to last weeks file.
Is this possible using 2 Flat file sources and some kind of sort/merge join?
If you are familiar with ORACLE or postgres its similar to a "MINUS" or "EXCEPT" respectively. Right now we load both files to separate tables and compare them in sql server which is very slow.
http://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!

Hello everyone - wonder if you can help.
How do you process all files in an FTP directory - similar to the for each loop for files.
I need to be able to download each file and then move it to an archive folder on the ftp site.
Might also want to do some things in between.
I have a feeling it means getting the directory listing into a recordset or variable then enumerating that.
Sounds like a common requirement and would be quite easy by other means. Can't help feeling that SSIS has built in tasks to do it.
Hi all,New to SQL Server - trying to create an SSIS package that will look forand import a series of Visual Foxpro tables (.DBFs) when they appear ina folder.The tables are/can be all different fields, field widths, etc. Withquite a bit of overlap though.The end result should be table "ABC.DBF" is pulled into SQL Server astable "ABC"Using: SQL Server 2005 Enterprise, SSIS, *latest* version of VFPOLEDBdownloaded from MSI have set up a package and tested it with several different tables andit works great - but I have to redo the data source and destinationeach time...I need to get this to be a somewhat automated process, pulling in all..DBFs no matter what they contain.Can I do this with SSIS alone (and variable substitution) or do I needto write a bunch of code...Thanks very much for your time and thoughts...

I could not find the exact details on how to create a SSIS script that would ftp files on these forums, so I am adding my code to help save time for anyone else that might be wanting to do something similar. Here is the VB code for my script task to FTP files (hope this helps someone):
' Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Task
' Write scripts using Microsoft Visual Basic
' The ScriptMain class is the entry point of the Script Task.
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime

Try
'Create the connection to the ftp server
Dim cm As ConnectionManager = Dts.Connections.Add("FTP")
'Set the properties like username & password
cm.Properties("ServerName").SetValue(cm, "Enter your Server Name here")
cm.Properties("ServerUserName").SetValue(cm, "Enter your FTP User Name here")
cm.Properties("ServerPassword").SetValue(cm, "Enter your FTP Password here")
cm.Properties("ServerPort").SetValue(cm, "21")
cm.Properties("Timeout").SetValue(cm, "0") 'The 0 setting will make it not timeout
cm.Properties("ChunkSize").SetValue(cm, "1000") '1000 kb
cm.Properties("Retries").SetValue(cm, "1")

Hi,
I'm trying to join outputs of two text files combined in to one text file. The lenght of both the input text files are same (590)
For example,
If contents of text_file_1.txt is: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
and contents of text_file_2.txt is: bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
My final text file should be :
final_text.txt
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
I use flat file source for both the input file and then use "Union all" and then write out to final text file destination.
The issues is:
The second file (bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb) is coming up first in the output and then there is no carriage return.
My output looks like:
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb...(goes up to 590)aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
What is that I'm missing here. Could some one plese help.
Thanks
