Specifying Schema/Owner Via Configuration File, For Multiple Packages
Apr 16, 2007
Hi,
I am currently migrating from Oracle to MS SQL Server 2005 using SSIS. Since the new schema being used on the SQL Server is very different, we have created separate packages for each target table.
We have several different sets of data stored as separate Oracle schemas, and I would now like to change to a different schema for the OLE DB Source objects in my packages to use (Table/column names to remain the same). While I can go through all packages and search through the drop-down list to select the table of the same name from other Schema, doing so is an extremely slow process.
Is it possible to use configuration files to set a schema to be used for a number of OLE DB Sources over a number of packages?
At the moment I am doing a find and replace over the .dtsx files, but can't believe I have to resort to this for something that I imagine many people would want to do with SSIS.
Thank you,
The Captain

Hi,
At just the point at which I was going to write some verbose schpeel, I found this, which really does it all for me:

Basically it seems that whilst you can indeed share a config file, it doesn't aggregate sets of say different connection managers, into a superset - you choose to reuse, but it actually overwrites. Any ideas, anyone??

Suppose 2 environments on a single machine.
Each environment has different configuration settings....different
databases etc.
All the packages in the first environment have a hardcoded config files
referencing the local drive.
In order to create the second environment do I have to
go into each package and manually change the location of the
hardcoded config files. If I don't it will it not use the config files
from the first environment.
Thanks

I have two packages share same configuration file. There are 4 connections in the first package and 2 connections in the second. Configuration file contains properties for 4 connections. First package opens in VS designer with no error. The problem with second package.
I get error that connection exist in the configuration but not in the package
and
"Could not copy file " Master_Configuration.dtsConfig" to the deployment utility output directory. Master_Configuration.dtsConfig' already exists."
Any help?

Hello,
I'm using an XML file to configure my dataBase connection string. I try to deploy my package on a new server and it works perfectly.
Then I made a second package which also need a configuration for the dataBase connection string. (I made the connection with the connection manager inside packages). The configuration is the same that for my first package, so I thought to use the same configuration file.
I can use the same configuration file but the problem is when I try to generate a deployment for my solution. I got an error which tell me that the xxx.dtsConfig file already exist and can not be copy again.
When I made the configuration in the second package I said that I want to reuse the file ... and I thought that for the deployment SSIS would know that it has to include that file only once ...
Did somebody already have this problem ?
Thanks !

Hi,
I'm fairly new to the SSIS world, and I've recently ported a bunch of dts packages over to SSIS. I'm an ASP.NET developer so I'm very familiar with the capabilities that configuration files give you, and I attempted to set up my solution as follows:
All of my "Data Sources" are at the project level, and added (with the same name) to each package. I wanted to have a single config file that had all of the project-level settings (i.e. connection strings, data file paths, etc). I then have a config for each package with the package level settings - i.e. variables, etc.
The problem becomes that all packages do not use all data sources. This results in an error when I try to open up a package for editing, it complains that it doesn't have a reference to data source XYZ that it is seeing in the configuration file.
Is there any way that I can get around this? If I have a password to a database change, I don't want to have to look through every config file and change it in multiple places.

I would like to use one configuration file for multiple SSIS packages. How I want to do this is to save the connection string of my production server with the initial database field excluded and set that per package file. I am able to read in the configuration file into 2 different packages without issue but I cannot see how to extract the connection string into a ODBC Database Connection object in order to set the initial database. Is there some way I am not thinking of to do this, either through the designer or programatically?
Thanks for any help you all can provide! I am so n00b to SSIS.

All,
I have several packages that all use the same DTSConfig file to map the OLEDB connections. This works fine in the development environment, however when i run a rebuild with Deployment set to true i get the error
Error 75
System.ApplicationException: Could not copy file "C:Dev_TFSTowergateTowergate.BdwTowergate.Bdw.Ssis.TransformPackagePath.dtsConfig" to the deployment utility output directory "C:Dev_TFSTowergateTowergate.BdwTowergate.Bdw.Ssis.TransforminDeployment". ---> System.IO.IOException: The file 'C:Dev_TFSTowergateTowergate.BdwTowergate.Bdw.Ssis.TransforminDeploymentPackagePath.dtsConfig' already exists.

at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Project.DataTransformationsProjectBuilder.CopyFiles(ICollection fileNames, String outputPath)
at Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Project.DataTransformationsProjectBuilder.CreateDeploymentUtility(IOutputWindow outputWindow)
The DTSConfig file is included in the project under Misc in the development studio as all developers need to have access to the same config file.
The net result is that the MSI deployment package doesnt get built so we cannot do an automated delivery of the data.
Is there a work round or a setting that i can implement to remove the error?
TIA

I have a question regarding Raw Files. I am breaking a large package into more modular components for better processing and debugging.
The process will start with a preparatory dataflow that will create a Raw File(s). This Raw File will then be used as the source in possibly 6 data flows and/or packages.
My question is whether 1 Raw File can be read concurrently by the multiple jobs and how this would affect processing. I'm assuming that this would slow processing.
My other option is to Multicast the writing of the Raw File to 5 other versions of the file. All would be identical except for filename. Obviously this would use more disk space but this is not a concern as we have lots of disk space. Our concern is for speedy processing.
If you have experience with Raw Files, please let me know how you approached this issue. As always, blogs and specific examples are always great!
Thanks in advance.

I've read that a single config file can be used across multiple packages, but am unsure if it applies to what I'm trying to achieve. As an example, I have 2 packages, PackageA and PackageB. Each package has a connection manager defined - ManagerA and ManagerB and I want a single package configuration file to contain the connection string for each manager.
I can define the package configuration of PackageA with no problems. I choose XML file, define the filename and add the connection string to the config.
I then open PackageB Package Configuration and point it to the existing config file, IS tells me the file already exists and allows me to choose the option to "Reuse Existing". I then supply a configuration name and the wizard finishes, without letting me expose any properties. At this point, the configuration file still contains config details from PackageA.
If I then choose to Edit the package configuration in PackageB, I get a warning saying the config values in the config file (relating to PackageA) cannot be found, and the wizard continues. The subsequent PackageB properties which I add overwrite the existing PackageA properties.
So it would appear that what I'm trying to do cannot be done, and I need a separate configuration file for each package?
Any ideas much appreciated.
Greg.

I am merging two databases and created two different schemas to contain the objects in the new DB. I would like the objects in both schemas to be visible to one user but I can't figure out how to make this happen. I thought I could just set the Owner of the schemas to the same User but that didn't work. At the moment, the User default schema is set to dbo. I would like the default to be both schemas but this isn't an option.
Is there any way to have multiple schema objects visible to a single user? Thanks!

Hi All,
I am working on a project currently where we have many SSIS packages and we want to minimize the number of config files to be used. What I was thinking was using one master config file which will have Server/Database info which will be used by all the packages. Now the thing is there are multiple packages which are being executed from within a master package and I was wondering if this will be an issue. Is there anything else that I will have to keep in mind? Any help is appreciated.

Hey guys and girls,
This seems like a no brainer, but it's driving me nuts. I want one XML file for the entire solution. There are multiple packages in the solution which have different Connections in the conntion Managers. The packages share some connection names, and some are unique to the package.
Example:
LoadData.dtsx would have a source database connection named (SourceDB_OLEDB) and a oledb connection (DataWarehouse_OLEDB).
LoadDataMart.dtsx would use the same name for the (DataWarehouse_OLEDB) connection and have another oledb connection (DataMart_OLEDB)
I want one XML config file that has all the connection strings, but the problem is that the LoadDataMart.dtsx will throw an error:
Error 1 Error loading LoadDataMart.dtsx: The connection "SourceDB_OLEDB" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found. c:ssisLoadDataMart.dtsx 1 1
Thanks,
James

I have a database that has been upgraded from SQL 200 to 2005. The database was owned by 'Joe' and all objects were also owned by 'Joe'. In SQL 2000 when Joe logged in he could simply issue 'select * from table' and would get results.
The upgraded db now has a user Joe and a schema Joe. All objects now belong to the schema Joe. Joe the user has his default schema set to Joe and he is the owner of the schema. When Joe logs in and tries to 'select * from table' he gets an invalid object. He can 'select * from joe.table'.
How can I set it up so that the objects are still owned by the schema Joe and a simple 'select * from table' works when user Joe logs in? I was convinced that is he owned the schema and this was his default schema it should work.
Thanks

When reverse engineering a SQL Server 2005 database (using VS 2007 Professional), I can't figure out a way to display the schema name in front of the table name in the database diagram. For instance, If I have a table named Person.Type, it just comes over as Type. It knows what the schema is because it's in the properties box for that object. It just doesn't appear in the name on the shape itself. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing that will display the schema in the name?

One of our databases has at some point in its dark past had the owner of the guest schema changed to be a named user, rather than the default guest user. Correcting this feels like it would be easy enough by running the following...
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON SCHEMA::guest TO guest
but that results in..
Msg 15150, Level 16, State 2, Line 3
Cannot alter the schema 'guest'.
I realise the guest schema is a special one, and cannot be dropped, but I'm not trying to do that. End goal is to export the database to a SQL Azure DB, and this guest schema assignment is blocking that process from completing.

I created a package but someone else will be running it every day. When this person opens the project in Business Intelligence Studio they get build errors such as the following:
Error loading PackageName: 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.
this problem is described in the article below however the only advice they offer is to "change the value of the ProtectionLevel property " however they don't specify what to change the value to. I have tried every option but it still does not work. And having them enter in a password every time is out of the question.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;904800
It seems there is no way for someone other than the package owner to run the package! Running them from the sql server is not an option since we don't have permission to do so. As far as I know BIS is the only way.

I've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
Anybody got any idea on how to go about this?

I would just like to give my feedback on the configuration packages implementation in SSIS:
THIS STUFF SHOULD BE A NO BRAINER AS IT IS A COMMON REQUIREMENT ON ETL PROJECTS.
I have trolled through these forums and found that I am not alone on this issue. Note for SSIS Team: Please bring out a HOWTO on this subject that details all the little work arounds because intuitively used it does not work.
Consider this:
I develop in BIDS on my client and everything runs. I create a config package and I choose only the Name and ConnectionString Properties for each Connection Manager. (Thanks to Jamie for that tip)
I build the app and a deployment utility is created. I navigate to the deployment directory, and deploy. I point to a mapped share on the production server, change all the properties for production and continue until finished.
On the production server I run a script containing:
dtexec /FILE D:SSISSourcecodeSource.dtsx >> D:SSISSourcelogsSource.log
I get an error: Cannot find the configuration file: source.dtsConfig
I tried putting the following in the script:
dtexec /FILE D:SSISSourcecodeSource.dtsx /CONFIGFILE D:SSISSourcecodesource.dtsconfig >> D:SSISSourcelogsSource.log
Still: Cannot find the configuration file: source.dtsConfig
I have to MANUALLY edit the dtsx file to put the path in from the the name of the config file and THEN it works.
Thinking that it might not like a mapped share from desktop to deploy to, I copIED the contents of the depLoyMENT directory on my desktop to a folder on the production server and deploy from there. It should pick up the proper path from there. NOT!!!!
So it was back to editing the dtsx file.
So there you have it. I await all comments with great interest.
I hope this is all fixed in SP2, Because I don't want to waste anymore time on what should be a simple task.

We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.

Ok, I understand it is possible, but I still can't quite get the mechanics of it to work.
I create a new BIDS project, and add a package to it, and add 3
connection managers, and set the server, instance, DB, etc. for SQL
connections. I change the name of each connection manager so the server
name is not there, but use something more like a generic name of what
the database is. Fine. I right click in the Control Flow area and go to
configurations. I enable configurations, and save to a common place on
the C drive. Save everything, exit, VS, fine, and I export all
connection managers properties.
Then I start Visual Studio again. Create another new BIDS project, add
a package to it, and add 3 connection managers. I don't actually
connect them, but use those same generic names from the first
iteration. I enable configurations for the package. I am somewhat
expecting to see the connections change from the same-o-default to the
data I used in the first go around.
I am obviously missing something big here.

The scenario is an ETL that takes flat file feeds via FTP to move data into varous production SQL server databases nightly.
There are a number of packages involved, and this depends upon the type of data being sent.
There are a set number of servers and databases to receive the
transformed data. I would like to be able to define say 3 servers, and
maybe a couple of databases in each one time in the configuration. For
simplicity lets say 6 databases total. I would like a single point of
maintenance for these 6 locations. I would like all connection managers
in all packages in all solutions to share these 6 settings in all
connection managers. Is this possible? From my initial attempts, it
would appear each package gets its own independent list of connection
managers and which must be configured separately. I don't see how to
share settings, which is really where the power of SSIS configurations
would be.
Similarly, I would like to be able to locate flat files at given paths.
The package may know the name of the file it is looking for, or the
file it will create, and the folder path needs to be computed from a
configured folder root, and for the package connection manager to store
only the name of the file, which never changes.
I can not see how to set something like this up with connection
managers and configurations. Perhaps I still need a highly customized
solution to achieve this, as we did for DTS, where we would only
execute packages using our own executor, which would load the package,
search out all environment specific settings and modify them on the fly
prior to executing the package.
Thanks for any direction you can give here. The books I've read seem to
imply I might be able to do what I need here, but I can't seem to find
the mechanics of making it happen.

Hello,
I need some clarification. I am trying to utilize the XML Direct Configuration in my SSIS packages to utilize database connections in the package. I am wanting to utilize this the same way you could use UDLs in the SQL Server 2000 DTS packages.
Currently, I am creating the dtsConfig file and saving it to my desktop. I then modify it with notepad and add the following configuration where it looks like this:
<DTSConfiguration>
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[ConnectionName].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">
<ConfiguredValue>Data Source=[ServerName];Initial Catalog=[DBName];Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False;</ConfiguredValue>
</Configuration>
</DTSConfiguration>
Once this is created, I am trying to "re-use" this in SSIS packages created moving forward, where they all point to this configuration for the same database connection.
What I don't understand is when "Enabling Package Configuration" and then pointing to this dtsConfig file doesn't create a connection in "Connection Manager" NOR does it provide a way to create a blank connection and point to this configuration.
I feel like I am missing something thats so "great" about XML configuration files. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello,
We have been conducting some testing regarding package deployment and SQL Server based configuration. It seems there is a problem that was documented in an MS Feedback entry (
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=126797
)
I searched for a viable answer, work-around, or hotfix that would address this issue but found none.
The jist is that a package that uses SQL Server based configuration must have an xml-based configuration entry to "re-point" the SQL Server based configuration connection manager to the deployment target server. We cannot use environment variable or registry as this is against internal policy. The problem is that even though the xml based config is specified first in the list of package configurations it does not get applied first at run-time. So, when the package runs from a SQL Server Agent job the package's connection manager for the configuration entries is not updated.
The package runs correctly through BIDS. You can change the connection string in the .dtsConfig file and the SQL Server based package configuration is obtained from the correct source.
Environment is SQL Server Enterprise Edition 64-bit w/ SP1, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Ed. 64-bit.
Does anyone have any experience with this issue? Know any hotfixes, other work-arounds?
Thanks in advance!

It is pretty easy to create the package configuration to the shared, never-changing path to XML file. But to get this to work, I have to add a bunch of package variables which are driven from the configuration. I then use expressions to compute actual paths to source files and packages.
This business of copying a block of variables from one package to another is extremely tedious, and at least to me, something of a maintenance issue. I have found if I get ahead of myself and forget to create the variables first, then Visual Studio is NOT very forgiving, and will complain repeatedly just prior to crashing without the offer to save anything. If I add a new variable, it is like an easter egg hunt. This does NOT feel very single point of maintenance when variables must be used in this way to really effectively apply configuration, and it is so tedious and error prone, and unforgiving. I seem to spend a great percentage of time copying the names and datatypes and values of variables ONE AT A TIME. What is that all about?
I hear people telling the praises of configurations, but I must be missing something.
With DTS I used a system where global scope settings were "injected" into packages as they ran, and I never had to worry about anything, and it was damn hard to goof it.
Please someone, evangelize me!! Are people bypassing VS and using NOTEPAD on the packages or something like that to save time?

I currently have multiple (parent and child) packages using the same config file. The config file has entries for connections to a number of systems. All of them are not used from the child packages. Hence, my child package throws an error when it tries to configure using the same config file because it can't find the extra connections in my connection collection.
Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to go about resolving this? Is multiple config files (one for each connection) the only way?
