Saving DTS Package In Meta Data Services Error
Apr 27, 2004
I am running SQL Server 2000 SP3 and I am trying to save a DTS package into Meta Data Services and I am receiving the following "Package Error"
Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package
Error Description: General Error -2147217355 (80041035).
I have searched for this error and I cannot find anything related to it. Also, I saw some of the comments about right clicking "Data Transformation Services" and checking the box for allow save to Meta Data Services, however, I do not see that checkbox to allow for this. Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it? I'm beginning to get very frustrated with it.

Would someone help me how to Move existing Meta Data Services packages to SQL Server storage (in the msdb database) or to structured storage files before you upgrade from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005? This is a before action recommendation by Upgrade Advisor.

Hello anyone / everyone,
If you are having trouble accessing Meta Data Services on W2k3 and SQL 2000 and get the error that the "msdb database could not be opened" I found that hot fix 912812 on the operating system is the culprit. Remove it and Meta Data goes back to working, although I am being asked to approve the ActiveX control every time the page refreshes.
Hope this helps somebody, to took me long enough to track it down.
If anyone has a resolution to the ActiveX question I'd love to know the answer.
Thank you,
Uncle Davy

Hi all, i got this error:
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: "component "Excel Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA".
and also this:
[Excel Source [1]] Warning: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "Fiscal Week" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection. The column "Fiscal Year" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection. The column "1st level" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection. The column "2nd level" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection. The column "3rd level" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection. The "external metadata column "1st Level" (16745)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection. The "external metadata column "3rd Level" (16609)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection. The "external metadata column "2nd Level" (16272)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection.
I tried going data flow->excel connection->advanced editor for excel source-> input and output properties and tried to refresh the columns affected.
It seems that somehow the 3 columns are not read in from the source file?
ans alslo fiscal year, fiscal week is not set up up properly in my data destination?
anyone faced such errors before?
Thanks

Hi, all here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

I am using SQL 2000 (SP4) and trying to save a DTS Package. When I do that it gives me an error:
Error Source : SQL OLE DB Provider
Error Description : Unspecified error
The package runs fine and I can change global variables, etc. But I just can't save it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I have been trying to place a binary byte array into the sql server mobile 2005 database and continually get an error "The Identifier cannot be an empty string." when attempting to save this sql to the database:
"INSERT INTO KHZ_Company_Permissions ( PermissionID, CompanyID, StatusID, PluginTypeName, PermissionLevel, ChangeStamp, RecordState ) VALUES (1, 1, 1, 'Plugins.Approval.ApprovalList', 2, System.Byte[], 0)"
the byte array ChangeStamp is a timestamp datatype in the Sql Server Database and is pulled into a custom business object as the .net datatype Byte()
in the debugger, the byte array looks like it should as a timestamp comprised of 8 bytes with the values: 0,0,0,0,0,0,63,181 . but when i attempt to execute the sql statement, i get the sqlceexception "The Identifier cannot be an empty string." if i change the byte to a string and save it as an nvarchar, the value is preserved and i can then pass it back to compare it to the timestamp when synching up to the Sql Server Database later, but i would prefer to maintain the type as a binary datatype, and avoid the string conversion...
When i am creating the sqlstring (which i then run using a sqlcommand/nonquery) i add the binary data to the sqlstring by referencing the .tostring character ... do you think this may be what is causing the error, and if so, is the only way to insert binary data to a sql ce db by using sqlcecommand parameters?
i have found no information to assist with this error, any ideas are much appreciated

Hi Guys,
I have a DataBase in which I have several Tables.
What I want is an SP or Query which takes as its parameter the "tablename".
The Output Should be a having three fields only.
Field name, DataType Of the Field, Length of the DataType.
For Example
Suppose the StoredProcedure Name is "SP_GetTables"
if i have a table named "tbl_Users" with fields
UserName varchar(50)
UserPass varchar(20)
UserAge int
UserStatus bit
In my program side if I pass the parameter as "tbl_Users" to the StoredProcedure SP_Users,
I should get the O/P as
Field Name DataType Length
UserName varchar 50
UserPass varchar 20
UserAge int
UserStatus bit
Regards,
Naveen.

Okay... We have a SQL2K database that has about 500 tables or so. It is normalized to a reasonable level and enforces all relationships with PK/FKs, not triggers. Hence, for a database-minded person it is fairly easy to read (as easy as a 500+ table database can be!).
Our users need adhoc query capabilities. Our report writer is simply overwhelmed. He doesn't need to be spending time writing a report that is intended to be run once.
I expect the best alternative would be to use some sort of adhoc reporting tool that is based off meta data. We (the DBAs) could be responsible for maintaining the meta data and STILL have a manhour savings over developing all these reports.
Here's the catch... We are on a TIGHT budget (aerospace industry is still reeling a bit). Is anyone using a product or aware of a product that might be just the ticket for us? We have been investigating a product by LogiXML called LGX AdHoc (http://www.logixml.com/products/AdHoc/adhoc.htm). Looks promising. Anyone use or familar with it?

My customer has a .NET application that reads meta data from SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, and several propritary databases. Because each DBMS stores the meta data using various techniques, they have written custom code for each DBMS. They are working on a generic ODBC/OLEDB suppport, but in the interim I was trying to use SQL Server to link to an Access database. The Access linked server works fine for queries in Query Analyzer, but I would like to be able to programatically read the metadata for an Access DB (tables, columns, types, etc) via the linked server. SQL Server's usual mechanism for storing meta-data in the Master database aparently is not used for Linked Servers.
Does SQL Server expose Linked Server meta data?
How would one retrieve this meta data if it is exposed?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi
I am running a couple of sql 2000 SP3a servers with merge and snapshot replication. One server acting as publisher and distributor and the rest subscribers. On one of the server I have got the error below and have tried most of the suggestions by msdn. This server has not crashed ever before or any hardware problems. It has been running for a couple of months and no problems. This has not happened no any of the other servers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as the only resolution I have left is to bring up a new instance, setup replication and see if this would resolve the issue. Stopping and starting of agents don't work.

We are running SQL Server 2000, SP4. I recently noticed that my DTS packages were missing from the local server. Since I had saved them as Structure Storage Files, I imported them back into DTS Local Packages. That was yesterday. Today I opened the Meta Data browser to see what was in it. (We don't use Meta Data Services.) It displayed a message:"An error occurred while trying to access the database information. The msdb database could not be opened." These (restore of DTS pkgs and Meta Data error) may not be related, but I need to know why I am getting this error, because I am about to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 for Workgroups.
1. Does anyone know what causes this error message?
2. Are local DTS packages stored in the MSDB database?

I have been given a request by a business analyst to update the text 'old' to 'new' within the column names / measure names and associated calculations within a PowerPivot model. There are hundred of columns / measures / calculations, etc. which need to be renamed.
Is there any way of updating these changes to the model other than making these changes manually or is there some way of doing the following type of operation in PowerPivot; -
UPDATE tblColumnNames SET Column_name, etc REPLACE ('old','new', all columns),('old','new', all measures),('old','new', all calculations)
FROM

I'm getting errors from time to time saving DTS changes as local package. I'm using SQL 2000. I've got sysadmin role.
I know there were DTS package ownership bugs in SQL 7 - but I thought these had been cleaned up with the latest SP.

My team is getting this message when altering a DTS Package, using SQL 2000 DTS Designer. We have downloaded all the SQL updates (Backward Compatibility, and the one specifically for DTS Save problems. Have tried this in SQL2005 as well. Have uninstalled both of these programs, and reinstalled on local machines. No avail. Here is what happens:
1) Editing an existing DTS Package, such as a Text Change, or simple connection change
2) Saving the file creates the exact message below:
Package Error
Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package
Error Description: Code execution exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
3) Then you have to choose OK in the windows Popup Box.
4) The DTS is brought back to the original screen, or completely exited out of Designer.
5) From that point, the Package can no longer be opened for editing, unless you open a previous version (which means changes aren't saved.
We have also tried to SAVE AS another filename. This doesn't work either.
Our team has close to 75 DTS Packages, some simple, some more complex. We are corrupting these left and right. This problem happens no matter what is created in the DTS Package.
This is running into our business operations, and we are unable to find out a resolution...HELP
Any insight in this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
