I have a question regarding transforming a text file from a folder into a table using DTS. The text file is on a different server and the name is in the format --- Orders040105.txt I am able to select the file using 'FileSystemObject' as the file required changes everyday, but I do not know how to use the file for the transformation using ActiveX Scripting. I have 2 'Activex Script Tasks' in the DTS Package--- one for selecting the text file and the other for the Transformation.
Function Main()
??????????????????????
DTSDestination("Order_Date") = DTSSource("Order Date")
.
.
.
End Function
I am attempting to export a records to an excel file using DTS and then use activex to rename the file to include the date it was run. To do this i just move the file.
However when the script is run, it fails saying that permission is denied on the "move" line. I have seen other reports saying that permission is denied when using the "CreateObject" however i have implemented the changes it says, ie/ adding the SQL Agent login using the DCOMcnfg utility and renaming the DefaultAccessPermission key in the registry, with no success. It also doesnt seem to fail on that line anyway.
I have also added all the groups and usernames with full control to the security of the folder the file is in to no avail either.
Does anyone know the best way to handle this type of situation?
A file coming into a directory based on the date filename042707 I use the fileexist stored procedure to check for the existence. I use xp_cmdshell(sp)... stored procedure to rename the file so that it just has filename instead of the date.... I can not use variables within the xp_cmdshell to replace the date... everyday the filename would change to filename042807,filename042907 etc....
Basically I know how to copy the file to another directory if it exists... then I want to strip the right 8 characters off... rename just to that but with the rename i have to know what the file will be named for that day ... excuse the grammar just somewhat tired... any suggestions... please thanks time for sleep
I'm looking to use ActiveX in a DTS to copy a file from on elocation to another. I have the code for this (attached below kindly supplied by a colleague), so that's cool.
dim filesys set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If filesys.FileExists("D:CreditsCredits_MTD.mdb") Then filesys.CopyFile "D:CreditsCredits_MTD.mdb", _ "C:CreditsCredits_200602.mdb" End If
But what I'm looking to do is go one step further. As you can see, it renames the file to yyyymm, but this is hard coded, and I'm looking for a coded solution so I can rename the file with yesterday's date.
Does anyone have any examples of using VB to automate a DTSPumpTask to import and transform a flat file. How do you use the dtsffile.dll OLE DB provider for an ADO connection or command object? I would like to create a task to transform a flat file and be able to pass in various parameters to make the load flexible. If possible respond to ScottMiles@Epotec.com
I have an ActiveX script running in a DTS package that checks for the existence on an Access.mdb file (using the filesystemobject), deletes the file if it's there and then re-creates a fresh empty Access database (using ADOX). This is great except one problem. If someone has the original Access mdb file open while I'm running this script, it's impossible to delete the file while its 'in use'. I'm not sure how to get around this problem. I've tried researching the filesystemobject to see if I can close the existing file before deleting it but the only Close method I found applies to text stream documents created with fso.
Does anyone have any ideas about how solve this problem?
Hello All,I am trying to create a DTS package.I have two tables tbl_A and tbl_B with similar data/rows but noprimary keys.tbl_A is master.I would like this package to query tbl_A and tbl_B and find1)all rows in tbl_A that are different in tbl_B, 2)all rows in tbl_Athat are not present in tbl_B and3)all rows in tbl_B that are not present in tbl_A, and then just showthose rows.Can this be done with a simple UNION?Perhaps this could produce a temp Table that can be dropped once theDTS package exists successfully.The 2nd part after all the above rows are retrieved is that I wouldlike to add an addional Column to the retrieved data called STATUSwhich has 3 possible values(letters) at the end of each row...M (modified) means that row exists in tbl_B but has 1 or moredifferent columnsA (add) means this row exists in tbl_A but not in tbl_BD (delete) means this row exists in tbl_B but not in tbl_AI'm hopping this DTS package would output a nice comma seperated TXTfile with only...1) rows from tbl_A that are different in tbl_B (STATUS M)2) rows from tbl_A that are not present in tbl_B (STATUS A)3) rows from tbl_B that are not present in tbl_A (STATUS D)Can a DTS package in MS SQL be used to perfom all of the above tasks?I would very much appreciate any help or any advise.Thanks in advance :-)
I've got a big problem that I'm trying to figure out: I have an address table out-of-which I am trying to select mailing addresses for companies UNLESS a mailing address doesn't exist; then I want to select the physical addresses for that company. If I get multiple mailing or physical addresses returned I only want the most recently edited out of those.
I don't need this for an individual ID select, I need it applied to every record from the table.
My address table has some columns that look like: [AddressID] [int] [LocationID] [int]
AddressID is a primary-key non-null column to the address table and the LocationID is a foreign key value from a seperate Companies table. So there will be multiple addresses to one LocationID, but each address will have it's own AddressID.
How can I do this efficiently with perfomance in mind???
I have to put some ActiveX code in the first step of a DTS package, which will search thru all the files in some folder and if it finds a file with filename starting with "Test" (like TestFile.txt), the script will rename it and then use it for transforming data to SQL tables.
In VB Dir$ function could have been used, what should I use in ActiveX?
Hello, I have a DTS package that has an ActiveX task. This task works with access to create databases and push out data to them. The problem is, I'm getting an error trying to establish a connection to the SQL Server database as such: set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") I get this as a resolution: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;201740 But I wasn't sure since I'm not dealing with ASP. I'm trying to run the task as myself manually, not scheduled also, for testing purposes. Any ideas? Thanks.
I'm attempting to write my first activex script. Not familiar with VB script so bear with what might seem like a simple question.
I'm trying to use an activex script in a dts to do a transformation. I have all the columns as straight copies except for one which I'm doing an activex script. What I'm trying to do is if the date is less than 1900-01-01 I want to default it to 1900-01-01. Every once in awhile a date comes across from the source file with a date of 0001-01-01 which sql doesn't like so I want to default it to 1900-01-01 instead. The script I've created parces fine but when I run the dts I get an error that the activex script encountered an invalid data value for source column LLAI. I don't understand why. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the script.
Function Main() If DTSSource("LLAI") >= "1900-01-01" Then DTSDestination("LastActivityISODate") = DTSSource("LLAI") Else DTSDestination("LastActivityISODate") = "1900-01-01" End If
Am having trouble writing to a table on the SQL 7 Server database, using a DTS ActiveX script.
When I try a .ADDNEW function, the following error comes up. "The opperation required by the application is not supported by the provider."
The line preceding the .ADDNEW are as follows. ----- SET Conn=CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") SET RS = CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet") Conn.ConnectionString = "PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;DATABASE=DataIn;User ID=sa;Password=" Conn.Open RS.Open sqlSites, Conn ----

I ran this activeX script with my DTS package. For debugging purpose I included the message box. The message is showing the actual name of the file but the the file name is not changing to the name display in the message box.

I have a DTS Package Job that needs to pre-check a txt file (see below) with a 'Date' in it. TO compare it with the current Date (execution Date -> today). If they match, move on to the next step and fail otherwise. I don't know how to create an ActiveX script to do this kind of comparison.

Gurus I have a DTS running in Sql Server 2000 and it is a Activex script.Now i want to migrate this DTS in 2005?Can you please explain the steps.. My problem is when i execute this package in 2005 in busines intelligence studio it turns red.. What does that mean?Itz a simple script which calls some URL
I migrated the DTS from 2000, and the migrated SSIS which includes ActiveX script is 11KB, takes 00:00.125 running. I rewrote the SSIS using some new features provided in BIDS, and the new package is 50KB, takes 00:00:6.016 running. Is that normal or maybe because of the efficiency of my code?
I'm getting a little confused about what is supported in MS-SQL ActiveX andwhat is Visual Basic and what is VBScript. Can someone please point me to awebsite, recommend a book or if I've missed it where in the MS-SQL help thatdeals with the ActiveX supported in SQL. I'm not looking to do web pagesASP, ect. I'm looking to use the ActiveX as add on funtionality to supportthe Stored Procs I write.Thanks,-p
hi all I'm working on a complicated activex script which is a part of a DTS package. Are there some debuggers around that could help make the task easier? Specifically I'm looking for an ActiveX script debugger. Can somebody point me to a tutorial or something? Regards
hey guys i have a code that looks something like this set mySourceConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") mySourceConn.Open = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=(local);Database=server_name;User Id=sa;Password=saPWD"
this works fine but the problem that i'm having is we do not want to hard code the password in the connection string. so i was wondering if there is anyway to access the DTS Connection object from the ActiveX. i was able to get the object but it is in connection2 datatype and i am not familiar of using this datatype. Code below returned the connection2 object 'DTS_Conn is the name of the object i specified in the DTS'DTS_Conn --> SQL Server Connection objectDTSGlobalVariables.Parent.Connections("DTS_Conn") can i use this connection2 object to run the sql statement and get the recordset?
I have been trying to create, then call an activeX object. I use sp_OAcreate and then sp_OAmethod to create the object, the call the method within. I have registered the DLL but I can not get it to work. I used the examples within T-SQL help but it doesn't seem to work. I am calling from within a sp within the northwind db. I need to pass 4 parms to the method. Here is the proc.
CREATE PROCEDURE SIMPLE2_SP (@CUSTOMERID nVARCHAR(25) = NULL, @ORDERID INT = NULL) AS
DECLARE @BLOB nVARCHAR(1200), @PARM1 nVARCHAR(25), @SF INT, @pOBJ INT
/***Make sure that the customerid is specified, if not, get out. sfogli 7-17-00 ***/ IF (@CUSTOMERID is NULL) OR (@CUSTOMERID = '') BEGIN RAISERROR('Must specify a CUSTOMER name.',-1,-1) RETURN (1) END
/***Hardcode the path, customerid, and orderid for testing purposes. sfogli 7-17-00. ***/ --SELECT @BLOB = 'PATH=C:REPORT.HTM;CUSTOMERID=' + @CUSTOMERID + ';' + 'ORDERID=' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(5),@ORDERID)+ ';' SELECT@PARM1 = 'PATH=C:REPORT.HTM;'
/***Make sure that the orderid is specified, if not, raise message. sfogli 7-17-00 ***/ IF (@ORDERID is NULL) OR (@ORDERID = '') BEGIN RAISERROR('To continue process, please specify an ORDERID and retry.',-1,-1) PRINT @BLOB RETURN (1) END
I'm looking for a way to get the name of the server on which the DTS package lives.
I copy packages between servers. The problem is that everytime a package is copied to different server, I have to change the reference in the connection strings to point to the new server name. I'd like to find an automatic way to interrogate the server name where the package currently lives and dynamically change connection strings from within an ActiveX task. That would cut maintenance way down.
Hello, Does anyone know how I add the SQLDMO library to enable me to reference it in DTS Active X scripts? I do not want to install VB on the server to do this.
