Script Task SSIS
Apr 24, 2008
I have several packages, all start with a script task component. In this component I use a dll to load some information to the package
All works fine, we made over 80 packages without any problems...
Now we built a master package that call all the other packages (some in a parallel way)
and we're getting a very rare problem, sometime, and in diferente part of the package we get the following error message:
The script threw an exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
When i run the packages alone (all of them) there is no problem
Any Clue?
Cheers

I am using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
Any option anyone knows will help.
Thanks.

In short, does the €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? support distributed transactions?
In trying to use a €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? in a container using a transaction on the container. The task is set to support the transaction. It is setup to copy table data from several tables from a non-domain server (sql server 2000) to a domain-based server (sql server 2005). I get an error stating, €œThis task can not participate in a transaction€?.
I am wondering if it means exactly what it says €“ this task in SSIS can€™t participate at all. Or does it mean that it won€™t in this scenario for some reason. I attempted a simple copy of data from mssql 2005 to mssql 2005 (same server) and the task still failed). MSDTC appears to be running properly on my machine and such (I can do a simple distributed transaction across linked server to the 2000 server in Query Analyzer (QA)). Also, MSDTC appears to be working on both servers with distributed transaction query tests in QA.
Here€™s the error info€¦
SSIS package "Development BusinessContacts and Products Migration.dtsx" starting.
Information: 0x4001100A at Copy BusinessContacts Data: Starting distributed transaction for this container.
Error: 0xC002F319 at Copy BusinessContacts database table data 1, Transfer SQL Server Objects Task: This task can not participate in a transaction.
Task failed: Copy BusinessContacts database table data 1
Information: 0x4001100C at Copy BusinessContacts database table data 1: Aborting the current distributed transaction.
Information: 0x4001100C at Copy BusinessContacts Data: Aborting the current distributed transaction.
SSIS package "Development BusinessContacts and Products Migration.dtsx" finished: Failure.
The program '[4700] Development BusinessContacts and Products Migration.dtsx: DTS' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

A common issue that I run across with clients is they want only want to process a file if it's finished transmitting to the server. This SQL Server 2005 task reads the properties of a file and writes the values to a series of variables. For example, you can use this task to determine if the file is in use (still be uploaded or written to) and then conditionally run the Data Flow task to load the file if it's not being used. You can also use it to determine when the file was created in order to determine if it must be archived.

I've created my own posting for this. The original post was here, I apologize: http://forums.microsoft.com/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2906512&SiteID=1
According to the poster it's not possible. But there has to be some way to do it? Reflection (don't know how)?
I need to get a reference to the task host in an SSIS Task component.
Basically the scenario is this:
I have a custom task I have created. However I would like to validate that the ExecValueVariable is infact a string variable during the validate event of the task. I know how to verify its a string variable. But I can't figure out how to read what the user selected (such as User::Myvariable). The only way I've been able to figure out how to do it, but it only works if you open my custom task UI.
What I did is this:
I've implemented IDtsTaskUI and during the initialize section I wrote:
Sub Initialize(ByVal taskHost As TaskHost, ByVal serviceProvider As IServiceProvider) Implements IDtsTaskUI.Initialize
' Store the TaskHost of the task.
Me.taskHostValue = taskHost
Dim myTask As CustomTask= CType(taskHost.InnerObject, CustomTask)
myTask.myTaskHost = taskHost
End Sub
My Task is named: CustomTask. I have a public variable in my task as follows:
Public NotInheritable Class CustomTask
Inherits Task
Implements IDTSComponentPersist
Public myTaskHost As TaskHost = Nothing
Therefore I pass back the taskhost value to the CustomTask class, and voila I have it.
Problem is, this only works if the custom task calls the initialize method, and this only happens when you open the custom editor.
I then do the validation in my CustomTask class and it works fine, but myTaskHost is null/nothing until you actually open the custom task UI
How do I solve this?

Sorry guys, I'm really new to this. Can somebody tell me the easiest way to use the FTP task with a dynamic local path. I just want the FTP task to send whatever file is in the directory I specify.
I'm creating a package that extracts data from a table to a pipe-delimited file. I then use an external process (since using Expressions for it was a nightmare) to rename the file so that it'll reflect the previous month (e.g. April2008_report.txt). Then, I have to FTP that file. That's where my problem is. It seems I need to specify the exact filename on the local path of the FTP task, and since the filename will change each month... well, you see my problem.
Is there a way to tell the FTP task to just send *.txt, or something to that effect?
Thanks in advance for you help!
Thanks,
Mark

Hi ,
I have a master database. Based on certain criteria's I will be creating one new database. Once I have finished the creation, I have to check the value of a particular column in both database tables.
This is actually a status check. if both are not equal i have to update detail database table column value with master column value.
I thought i can use lookup transform for this. The problem is master database table's status datatype and detail table's status datatype is diff.
Can anyone suggest me any other way for this problem?
thanks in advance.

I have written the Dynamic TSQL S-Proc. Below is what i wanted to implement in SSIS using foreach loop container as a cursor. But i am little doubtful whether I can achieve the dynamics to this level. I know everything is possible but is it advisable to go for this simple Sproc or SSIS tasks.
I have some 15 tables being populated using this SPROC.
Here is some helpful description
ENTITYNAME gives me the table i need to work
FIELDNAME gives me the field i have to work on
CHANGEDVALUE gives me the value changed in that field
( This three i get from source table which is about 9000 rows and containing 15 possible ENTITY to be work on and 100's of their respective FIELD )
while in Cursors i need to get using these above variables other variables like
FLAG
KeyName
Thrugh SQL1 I get the KeyValue
then using this KeyValue check if the data exist update else insert new data.
QUESTION: IS THIS ADVISABLE to go for SSIS task or just carry with SPROC?
/*******************************************************************************************************/
DECLARE Table_Cursor CURSOR
FOR SELECT ENTITYNAME,FIELDNAME, KEYID, CHANGEDVALUE, UPDATEUSER, UPDATEDATE
FROM dbo.ChangedDimensionStage
OPEN Table_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM Table_cursor INTO @ENTITY, @FIELD, @KEYID, @VALUE, @USER, @DATE
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DECLARE @FLAG NVARCHAR(50);
SET @FLAG = (SELECT LEFT(@ENTITY, (SELECT CHARINDEX( 'DIM', @ENTITY) -1)) )+ 'LastUpdateFlag';
DECLARE @KeyName NVARCHAR(50);
SET @KeyName = (SELECT LEFT(@ENTITY, (SELECT CHARINDEX( 'DIM', @ENTITY) -1)) )+ 'Key'

Hi there,
I'm still pretty new to SSIS, what I am really battling with is getting a custom task to work.
I have developed a custom task, digitally signed it added it to the Global Assembly Cache, written the UI for it - Pretty much as it is done here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms136080.aspx
but my problem is that when I drag it from the tool box into the control flow pane, I get this message: "The task user interface specified by type name 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' could not be loaded.
(Microsoft.DatatransformationServices.Design).
Does anybody have an idea of what I am doing wrong here?
Duane.

Hi
I am new to SSIS. I wanted to do a daily ETL load from sourceA to targetB database
Please let me know the best method to that i should follow to do the below task
1. Get the Yesterday's date or last months's from-date & to-date dynamically.
2. Pass the from-date and to-date to my source SQL [e.g select emp_name, emp_dept from emp where hiredate between @param1 and @param2]. Acually my source sql has subquery and the parameters has to be passed to the subquery's where clause.
3. Insert the resultset into a staging table in the targetB database.
4. Join this targetB table with another table in sourceC db
5. finally load the result set in to the targetT database table
6. How to configure/schedule this package so that it runs daily, automatically pass the yesterday's date to the package.
I have done this using Oracle PL/SQL but my requirement is to do this in SSIS. I am not sure which control flow or transformation items to be used to do this in an effecient way.
Please guide me.

Hi Everyone,
When I first installed BI Studio everything was working fine, but I went into it today and I noticed that the FTP task seems to be missing, I can't see it in the toolbox, everything else appears to be their but not that.
Any idea how I can get this back, I really don't wont to uninstall and reinstall at the moment, and I'm not even sure if that would work.
Thanks

We are unable to retrieve a file from an FTP server using SSIS FTP Task. With the settings indicated below:
IsRemotePathvariable: False
RemotePath: /home/ftpu/test.csv
IsLocalPathVariable: False
LocalPath: working_directory (with Connection Manager entry setup for this)
Operation: Receive files
The following error is produced:
Error: 0xC0029183 at FTP data, FTP Task: File represented by "/home/ftpu/ns_test.csv" does not exist.
Performing a manual ftp works fine, hence suggesting a fault with the SSIS TFP Task. Has anyone else successfully used an FTP task, and if so, any ideas on what's going wrong?
Thanks
Neil

Has anyone used web service task in SSIS????
I am using a simple web service task, which posts a SOAP request To a web service and is supposed to get a response back...
I have been able to configure the HTTP Connection (which points to the URL of a WSDL file), and also been able to download the WSDL file onto the desktop....
Iam also able to define the Input - Service and Method.
I understand that when I assign the Service and method values I should see a grid asking for the input parameters, which I never get...
Is there a reason why this is happening, as , as per a tutorial that I have read, there is supposed to be a prompt of the parameters.
This is , of course the error I get when i run the package:
SSIS package "Webservice.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Web Service Task, Web Service Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: Could not execute the Web method. The error is: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation..
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTaskUtil.Invoke(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection, VariableDispenser taskVariableDispenser)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTask.executeThread()".
Task failed: Web Service Task
Any help highly appreciated!

I have just been using the Import Data wizard in SSMS and when going through the wizard I checked the "Optimize for many tables" checkbox.
The resultant package contains a task called "Transfer Task". I've never heard of this before. Its not listed in the toolbox and its not documented in BOL.
It does some rather strange things as well.
From what I can determine it uses an XML manifest file (stored in c:documents and settings<user>Local settings emp) to construct a SSIS package on the fly which is then executed by an Execute Package Task.
Its SourceDB property is always "smo_Pubs". Its DestinationDB property is always "smo_Pubs_xfred"
There's no UI for it
All very peculiar.
What is it?
Where has it come from?
Did it arrive with SP1 or have I just never noticed it before?
Why is it preferable to a package with lots of data-flows?
Why is it not documented?
When should I use it/not use it?
Questions questions questions...
Thanks

Need help regarding ssis dataflow task
I need to create a ssis package. I want to import the data from a flat file to a table.
Lets say, the table has 5 columns -- col1, col2, col3, col4 , col5.(Assume that all columns can be NULLABLE) The datafile contains the data related to only three columns say col1, col2, col3. So when I use dataflow task to import the data from the file to the table, I will only get three columns, col1, col2, col3. Columns col4, col5 will be NULL.
However, I want to populate columns col4, col5 with some values which are stored in the variable.
IS there any way to do this??
Any help would be appreciated.

I have been struggling with a problem with the Web Service Task. I have a package that uses this and has to authenticate to the web service. This works fine on my development server but if I export the package to file and run from another computer / user, the package fails as it doesn't log in to the web service. I have found the problem to be the package was set to default of EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey and I understand why this is. If I change to use EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, it prompts for creds and works fine. My question is how do I use a package configuration file to use different creds (there is not password option for the http connection) so I can standardize on use of config files for this operation. Thanks.

Hi
I am trying to write a dynamic Transfer Database task in my SSIS package which generates the DestinationDatabaseName and DestinationDatabaseFiles on the fly before each run.
I have written a Script task which generates a string in the format("MyDB_data.mdf","C:Data","";"MyDB_log.ldf","C:Data","") and stores this in a variable which is then bound to the DestinationDatabaseFiles property using Expressions. But I keep getting the following error-
Package Validation Error (Package Validation Error)
===================================
Error at Copy MyDB monthly snapshot database [Transfer Database Task]: The number of source transfer files and the number of destination transfer files must be the same.
Error at Copy MyDB monthly snapshot database: The Validate method on the task failed, and returned error code 0x80131502 (Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index). The Validate method must succeed and indicate the result using an "out" parameter.
The number of source and destination files are same, and the path works fine when hardcoded in as a property value.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks
