Success Stories
Oct 19, 2007
Has anyone here been involved in a successful commercial Data Warehouse project?
If so, what was your role? How big was the project? Did you do it all or was their one guy data modelling, one for ETL, one for Client-side, one project managing, etc...? What tools did you use? Was it in SQL2000? 2005? Did you use DTS/SSIS for your ETL or Sprocs? Did you use SSAS? Were you writing lots of MDX to meet client-side needs? Or did you use a completely different toolset for all or some of this?
Did you use the Kimball approach? Or were you in the other camp?
Was your latency nightly or did you have some type of "real-time" capability?
I would prefer to hear from people who've actually been involved in successful projects (or failed projects if you would like to share with us why you think they failed). I'm not too interested in hearing from people that have never done it but have a theory as to how it should work (like me).
Many Thanks,
Coolerbob
(Or is there some other website forum I should be asking this question on? (like mdxteam, olapteam, datawarehouseteam or something)

oK if anyone remembers the problems with my Update/termination Trigger I found it works best if I do it as a Stored procedure instead of a trigger. Thanks again for your help guys. I really appreciate it

Hi:
I create a DTS package in 'Copy SQL Objects Task' to transfer 3 stored procedures from my local SQL msdb to remote testing msdb database.
Execution is 'successful' but the destination server msdb does not have the 3 stored procedures.
Any hint on this 'vanished' copy objects?
thanks

Just a thought.
If an issue is resolved please note that the problem has been resolved. Because there are "many ways to skin a cat" it would be helpful to anyone else with a similar problem (or someone trying to learn) what the solution was.

Hey all
Which system variable do I use if I would like to transfer success message into an SQL table? I'm running a task to import data into an SQL table. And I'm using the System::ErrorDescription variable (Execute SQL task) to insert error messages into a table but I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what system variable would insert 'success' message into an SQL table. Tried a lot of searching on the net but couldn't find anything.
Many thanks,
Rupa

Is there a parameter allowing to verify successful execution of a stored procedure?
Something that can be run as the last line in a stored procedure to verify its success...?
Thanks!

Trying to delete records associated with the same contact id from all the tables used for that contact. But I'm getting an error. Strange error because the table does exist and I've been able to do single deletes from that table. So, something tells me I'm not getting something right in my SQL statement. How do I delete records from all 3 tables using the same id (as opposed to doing 3 different SQL calls, one for each)?
-----------------
DELETE names, addresses, phones
FROM names AS n, addresses AS a, phones AS p
WHERE n.id = '12' AND a.id = '12' AND p.id = '12'
Error: Unknown table 'names' in MULTI DELETE
-----------------
(BTW, how do tag my code so it shows up in a code div?)

I apologize in advance for what is probably a really dumb question.
I have an SSIS package that is executing a number of data flow tasks simultaneously, and then all are followed by a single script step. I'm trying to get all the constraint arrows to look uniform by having them exit the DFTs on the right side and enter the script step on the left. Unfortunately, BI Dev Studio is putting the exiting arrows on the bottom, which looks awful and is difficult to follow. I can only move them between specific points on the bottom of the step. How do I move those arrows to the right side?
Thanks in advance.

My ssis package errors out because one of the database connection failed. I successfully logged error but also indicated that package finished successfully. My confusion is if a sheduling software schedules this package, what would be return code sent by dtexe... . would it be success or failure? In this scnerio i want it to return failure so that appropriate team can be contacted.
thanks,

Hello again to everyone,
Because of aleatory problems some of our Analysis Services Tasks fails and sometimes success with not know reasons. You run the task and it fails, the next time it fails, the next time is success, and so on aleatorily.
The solution of this is to put those tasks in a loop (ore someting similar) that only ends if all of the Analysis Services Tasks succeeds. If not, those tasks starts again. Do you know what I mean? How can I build this? I have investigated with checkpoints, with For Loops ... but still I dont find the way to do it.
Does anybody can help me? I suppose it's not so difficult, but I'm stuck in finding the solution...
Thankx once again.

I have an ActiveX Script Task in SQL Server 2000. It chooses one of two
possible success-paths depending on if a file exist or not. (Part of the old ActiveX Script for choosing next step is below)
I need to rewrite this for a Script Task in SQL Server 2005 but it seems like it
doesn't have this functionality and objects.
Does anyone know how to write the code for choosing the next step in a
Script Task or knows another way to solve my problem?
The package is not suppose to fail if the file is missing, it's must succeed and that's why I need two success-paths.
Regards,
Sara
'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic ActiveX Script

Function Main ()
Dim pkg
Dim stpContinuePkg
Dim stpExit
SET pkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent
SET stpContinuePkg = pkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_4")
SET stpExit = pkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_21")
If ...... Then
Main = DTSStepScriptResult_ExecuteTask
stpContinuePkg.DisableStep = False
stpExit.DisableStep = True
Else

I export all tables from serverA databaseAA to serverB (both SQL2k sp3)databaseAA with 'Success', but without any relationships. In SQL6.5 Tools of Transfer will bring all objects include relationship.
I also tried export "All Objects" which fails with unclear message. I just don't want to do a backup and restore....

Hi
I am writing a package that i want to have email me on two possible success scenarios.
essentially, this is the conditions:
IF @result = 0
BEGIN
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @copyfile, NO_OUTPUT
PRINT 'Operation Successful'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
RAISERROR ('This operation failed. Error Code:01. The source and destination files are identical.', 0, 1)
END
If the first condition is met, I want to fire off an email stating success.
If the second condition is met (the RAISERROR) then i want to fire off a different email.
Now, the problem is, I am not sure how to flow it. Both conditions are successful, thus it always fires off the success email if i use an "On Success" flow.
How do i capture the RAISERROR before the email to tell it which email to send?
Does this make sense?

I recently upgrade my Enterprise Manager to Sql 2000 from 7.0; the databases are still SQL 7.0. Since then I've noticed that all scheduled jobs that are calling dtsrun.exe's are reporting successful but do not actually run. I think the total process time is 1 sec.The message from View History reports: "The step did not generate any output. Process Exit Code 0. The step succeeded." Every job that uses the dtsrun.exe reports the same message. I've ran the same command from DOS and it runs fine. I've executed some basic batch commands within the Scheduled Jobs and those fail as well. I can open the DTS package and execute those with success, but when these are scheduled and are executed from the Agent Jobs they fail. Can anyone shed some light on this please?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi all,
I have a stored proc that uses xp_cmdshell to boot off a batch file on the NT side of the box (box OS is Windows 2000 Advanced Server).
Here is the pertinent code:/*----- Kick off the NT bat job to suck over the data through the web service pipe*/
SELECT @NTCommand = 'D:TradeAnalysisWondaDataStoreJobsPullFromWONDA _InstitutionalRankings.bat ' + CONVERT(varchar(10), @ReqDate, 101)
EXECUTE @e_error = master.dbo.xp_cmdshell @NTCommand
SELECT @m_error = CASE WHEN ISNULL(@e_error, 0) <> 0 THEN (@e_error + 50000) ELSE @@Error END
IF @m_error <> 0 GOTO ErrorHandlerThe trouble is that the batch file is failing (soft error, caught internally to the batch file, which then kills itself, screaming loudly all the way).
The batch file is using the following "voice" in which to scream in pain as it dies (a.k.a., using this code to terminate itself, which kills the cmd shell and returns 13 as an error code)REM WonDBService.exe says we failed
Date /T
Time /T
EXIT /B 13
Meanwhile, back at the ranch (errr...back in stored procedure), what is being returned is a ZERO (in the first code block, @e_error is being set to ZERO when the xp_cmdshell returns from the bat file.
So, now that I have ruled out the obvious *LOL* how can I get my xp_cmdshell to realize it has failed miserably at the one, tiny, simple, not-too-much-to-ask, job that it is designed to do?

I have an ssis package with three tasks. I want to force the execution result of the package to success all the time. I execute the package from a .net application. I tried to place my tasks in the package inside a sequence container and created a new script task which would execute when the any of the tasks in the container failed. I am setting the result of the package to success in this script task. This is not correctly working for me. Even if one task in the package failed and the last script task went to success, the .net app is receiving a failure status. Is there any way to handle this in the ssis package than in the .net app. There might be an easy way, but I am unable to find it.
Thanks in advance!!

I have a number of stored procedures that run one after the other. How do you code to get the success or failure so that some logic can be applied accordingly? I've heard of the TRY CATCH structure, but I new and have yet to use it. How many different ways can success or failure be handled in code?

I created a SSIS package that imports a file then moves the file to a folder called processed.
I created a job that runs the package. The pack works fine when I run it from the SQL Storage Area. When I run the job I get the following message:
Started: 9:58:15 AM DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_SUCCESS (0). Started: 9:58:15 AM Finished: 9:58:21 AM Elapsed: 6.047 seconds. The package executed successfully. The step succeeded.
showing that the job supposedly completed successfully.
I know that the package the not run because the data did not get imported and the file did not move.
Can anyone explain the package may not run but we still get a job completion status of success?

Hello,
When I run my package, a task will fail, however, the package will claim that it was successful. Why is this, and how can I trigger a failed package when one task fails?
Thanks in advance.

I have tried to process > 3 million Fuzzy grouping records on two different servers with no success. 3 mill works but anything above 4 mill doesn't. Some background:
We are trying to de-dup our customer table on: name (.5 min), address1 (.5 min), city (.5 min), state (exact). .8 overall record min score.
Output includes additional fields: customerid, sourceid, address2, country, phonenumber
Without SP1 installed I couldn't even get a few hundred thousand records to process
Two different servers - same problems. Note that SSIS and SQL Server are running locally on both
The higher end server has 4GB RAM, the other 2.5 GB RAM. Plenty of free disk space on both
SQL Server is configured to use 2 GB of RAM max
The page file is currently at 15GB
After running a number of test on both servers trying different batch sizes etc. the one thing I noticed is that it seems to always error out when SSIS takes over and starts chewing up all the available RAM. This happens after the index is created and SSIS starts "warming caches". On both servers SQL Server uses up about 1.6GB of RAM at this point while SSIS keeps taking over RAM until all physical RAM is used up.
Some questions:
Has anyone been able to process more then 3 million records and if so what is your hardware configuration?
Should we try running SSIS from a different server so it has access to the full amount of physical RAM? (so it doesn't have to fight for RAM with SQL Server)
Should we install Win 2003 Enterprise Server so we can add more RAM?
Any ideas why switching to the page file might be causing errors?
Thanks!!

Hi
I've created a simple package that contains only one task that is an execute sql task. When I run only this single task from Business Intelligence development studio it runs successfully. But when I run the whole package (also from Business intlligence studio), the package fails.
The data source I access is ODBC. I'm sure the real reason for the error is the bad ODBC driver of the data source but this can't be changed. So I need to know what is different from running only a task in a package to running the whole package. If I knew that I might be able to adjust some setting and make it work.
Any help welcome.

Hi all,
I have a SSIS package that copies data from one database, into another, makes a backup, and then FTP's up the backup to a web server. In Sql Server I've made a job to run the package and a Stored procedure to activate the job from an Access database front-end.
Can anyone tell me how I might return a success/failure message to my access user?
Thanks

I'm debugging a SSIS package in Visual Studio and I have a task that failes but the overall package is reporting success. The deployed package in SQL2005 is doing the same thing.
Task failed: FactVisitApplicationInventory
SSIS package "PACE to PACE DW PROD.dtsx" finished: Success.
The program '[4652] PACE to PACE DW PROD.dtsx: DTS' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
I have set FailPackageOnFailure=True, FailParentOnFailure=True, and MaximumErrorCount=0 on this task and am executing just this single task in Studio and I can't get the Package to report a failure.
Any ideas?
