Synchronize Connection Strings Dialog Box With XML Config File
Aug 17, 2006
Hello,
This has been happening to me since I started using Configuration files. I
use one XML config file that stores Machine Specific settings and one
connection string to my Metadata database. The problem is the database
connection.
When I set the conection in the Configuation file, save, close and reopen
the package, a dialog box opens with the title "Synchronize Connection
Strings".
To reproduce the problem:
1. Ceate New SSIS Project
2. New Data Source Localhost.Adventureworks
3. In Package.dtsx create an New Connection from Data Source...
4. Choose AdventureWorks
5. Save Package
6. Close Package
7. Open Package
There is no problem at this point.
8. Enable Package Configurations
9. Create a new XML Configuration File
10. Give it a name and a location
11. Click Next
12. Under Connection Managers Click Adventure Work
13. Click Next
14. Give it a Name
15. Click Finish
16. Save
17. Close
18. Open
Uh-Oh!
"Synchronize Connection Strings" Dialog Box
Hare is what it tells me.
Connection
Adventure Works
Data Source
Adventure Works
Old Connection String
Data Source=.;User ID=;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Integration
Security=True;
Old Connection String
Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Integated Security=True
19. Press OK
20. Save Package
21. Close
22. Open
Uh-Oh, still there.
Has anyone else run into this? If so, how can I get around it?
SO coming to my question. 1)What is it doing. I mean how is the package talking to this config file 2) Irrespective of what I do in the Connection String the package executes fine, which It should not do as far as my understanding goes. Why is it doesn't matter whats in String. where as it matter in later.
I created a couple of Data Sources, setting them up as I have done for OLE DB connections and then deleted that connections, and created them (recreating the connections using create connection from Data Source).
But when I open them again it gives me a dialogue box (Synchronize connection string) stating following message:
This package contains at least one connection which is based on a data source. The connection string for connections and data sources listed below are currently not identical. Connection strings of connections will be updated to reflect those on the data source.
I am also using connection string variable (through Expression builder) with Package configuration for those connection
Can any tell me the solution of this problem?
I have read, in one of the forum, as a BUG but I m sure it is not as i had this problem previously on my old system but it was gone somehow (I dont know how?)
Since we made some 'improvements' on our package deployment I feel I am going crazy! This is what changed: We created LOCAL.dtsConfig (UAT...) files. This local file resides say at C:DWDWPackagesDWPackages. We have user environment variable called DW_XMLCONFIG which has value C:DWDWPackagesDWPackagesLocal.dtsConfig
Any package I open gives me following dialog box Synchronize Connection Strings with Connection, Data Source and Old Connection =Data Source=LPET06VPC02SQL2K5Local;Initial Catalog=DW_Dev;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Auto Translate=False; New connection =Data Source=sql11;Initial Catalog=DW_UAT;Integrated Security=True
All of my packages have connection called TargetNet. My question; Why it does not pick up value from dtsConfig file instead using connection under Data Sources (TargetNet).
What am I doing wrong? This works: SQLConn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=McD_DB;Initial Catalog=McDFeelGood;User ID=uuu;Password=ppp" Now I want to put it in my web.config, but these don't work ("ConnectionString property has not been initialized"): SQLConn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("McDFeelGoodConnectionString") (VS IDE says this method is obsolete)SQLConn.ConnectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("McDFeelGoodConnectionString") <connectionStrings> <add name="McDFeelGoodConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=McD_DB;Initial Catalog=McDFeelGood;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=uuu;Password=ppp" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /></connectionStrings>
in asp usually i have code behind files those .aspx.vb file.can i make use of connection strings in there? i am not really familiar with connection strings. actually shouldn't code behind files "simulate" code being in the .aspx file themselves? i seem to not able to share variables between them?
I'm trying to figure out how to retreive connection strings from the machine.config instead of storing the conn strings in a *.dtsconfig file. The reason that I'm trying to use the machine.config is for the simple reason that I'll be able to manage all of the conn strings in one location on each server. (Instead of mutliple dtsconfig files.) Is it posible to utilize the machine.config in SSIS? If so, could someone explain how, or better yet, have an example?
Currently have a single hard coded file path to the SSRS config file which parses the file and provides the reporting services web service url. My question is how would i run this same query against 100s of servers that may or may not share the same file path as the one hard coded ?
Is there a way to query the registry to find the location of the config file of any server ? which could be on D, E, F, H, etc.
I know I can string together the address followed by "reports" and named instance if needed, but some instances may not have used the default virtual directory name (Reports).
Am I going about this the hard way ? Is there a location where the web service url exists in a table ? I could not locate anything in the Reporting service database. Basically need to inventory all of my reporting services url's.
Currently we have a 1.1 app that sets the connection string as a Application variable, we are wanting to change that and place it in the web config file, when I do this in 2.0 it's a simple process but in 1.1 it's different. It doesnt seem to like the <connection string> tag, does it go in the appsettings tag and if so what should it look like and how is it referenced.
I'm trying to connect to a Sybase DB using an OLE DB connection. Now, it works fine when I run the project without the package config enabled, but when I add the Sybase connection to the xml config file, & enable it the connection fails.
This is the error I see in the progress Tab
[Connection manager "AcidPrd.basketUser"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "ASE OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Login Failed. Check for valid user ID, server name and password.". An OLE DB record is available.

I've recently uploaded my website, http://www.bigredsongbus.com, to my host. Unfortunately, they don't support the use of SQL Server Express. So, I've purchased an addon through my host - discountasp.net. I've attached my database file to their server, now all that I need to do is to change the connection string in my .config file so that it points to the SQL Server. I don't know how to do this. Any help, please?Jeffrey Way
I am developing one SSIS package to migrate an Oracle Database to SQL Server 2005 DB through ODBC. My problem is with configuration. I have to use configuration file so that in production environment the end-user must be able to change the user credentials to connect both database servers. I am trying xml configuration file. When I try to use xml configuration, my odbc connection is giving error. But if I disable the configuration through "Package Configurations Organizer", it works fine. Using an XML Editor I checked the .dtsconfig file and entered both passwords for the both connections.
I tried logging and below are the few text from log file related to error.
Code Block User:Diagnostic, Nebu, BLRDOMNebu, DestOdbcConnection,{E3535ED4-1D21-41B9-9796-E9F5B47FFD5B}, {6820E259-18FF-4FCA-B820-73EE931D2095},12/17/2007 8:16:39 PM,12/17/2007 8:16:39 PM,0,0x,ExternalRequest_pre: The object is ready to make the following external request: 'IDbConnection.Open'.

I am trying to get the connection string values in a raw SSRS XML file. The XML for the SSRS rdl is located in a SSRS rdl file named SampleSSRSXML.xml that you can download from the URL below.The XML is read into a SQL XML Variable named @ReportCode. I have included my many attempts at writing some SQL XML to return all of the connection strings in the SSRS XML file, but everything I have tried returns a NULL connection string.write the correct XML to get all of the XML values for Connection String in the SSRS XML file I provided?
I have tried many different ways to get the connection string, but I am always getting no value in every case I show below:Have I made a mistake in my Cross Apply Structure matching the raw SSRS XML file structure?I am unclear what ./Text() means and when to use it?I have my sample SSRS XML file loaded at the URL Below:
;WITH XMLNAMESPACES ('http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition' AS RS) SELECT CP.cp.value('ConnectionString[1]', 'nvarchar(150)') AS ConnectionString FROM @ReportCode t CROSS APPLY t.CurrentReportXML.nodes('/Report/DataSources/DataSource/ConnectionProperties') AS CP(cp)
I'm a newbie to SSIS so this question may cause people to point and laugh. I apologise if that's the case.
I have a configuration database that holds connection details to a remote database. I want to use these connection details to dynamically create a new connection to some remote database.
I usually work in with C# where this would be simple but I can't find how to do this using SSIS.
I have found people using configuration files but as I already have my connection data in a table I don't really want to strip it out. (Also, is it a security risk to have database connection strings stored in a config file?)
I have been able to implement a custom script object to build the connection string and assign it to a user variable within the package but can't find any way to then use that variable to connect to the remote database.
Please we need help in the next Scenario:- - Head office SQL Server 2000 including main database (huge db for about 8 systems). - 8-10 branches with small database (for 3 systems only). - No connection available between all offices. 1- In daily basis we need to transfer all transaction updates done in all offices to update the main database in head office. 2- After updating head office we need to transfer the last case in 2 or 3 tables to all offices again. 3- There are some common tables, managed in head office only (usually not changed), in case this tables changed for enhancement or anything else, we need to transfer this change to all offices.
NOTE: No connection available every where, therefore we need hand carry solutions as soon as possible and please tell me in details as you can because the time is too short.
when i want to open sql it show me error message and when i try again with ctrl+n it works but not complite! i have both .NET2003 and 2005 in my computer under mssql2005 windows2003EP

All -- Please help. I have some questions about connection strings.
BACKGROUND...
Note that I am using the "SQL Native Client OLE DB Provider", SQL Sever 2005 Express, ASP.NET, C#.NET, and VS.NET 2005. Note that I do not want to use the "Attach a database file" type of connection string. Note that I am using the site http://www.ConnectionStrings.com as a reference. Note that this "Standard security" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Uid=MyDatabaseUser;Pwd=MyDatabasePassword;" />...does not work and causes the following run-time error...A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) Note that this "Trusted connection" connection string...<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYTESTOFFICESERVERS;Database=MyDatabase;Trusted_Connection=yes;" />...works but is less-than ideal because it uses a Trusted Connection rather than a Username/Password combination.
QUESTIONS... (A) What exactly does the error in Item 4 mean? (B) Do 4 and 5 imply that one must use a Trusted_Connection for all SQL Server 2005 Express connection strings when the database does not reside in the web application's App_Data folder or use a "Attach a database file" type of connection string? (C) Are there any alternatives? (D) What do you suggest?

I had SQl Express version installed previously and everything worked. I could connect to one server running SQL Express and a different server running full up SQL 2005 enterprise version.
I uninstalled All SQL express programs and installed tools from SQL 2005 developer.
I have rebooted, started the program directly (not using a link of any kind) and all attempts fail. After dismissing the error msg the tool opens and I can run queries agains the DB but the database engines and related tables do not show.
My work station is Windows XP with SP2 installed.
I have googled the problem extensively and tried solutions found but none have solved the problem.
I have an Access database that updates each 5 minutes with data from a weather station. As you can imagine the access database is becomming huge, so I would like to get that data into SQl Express to make queries faster and better connectivity with visual webdeveloper.
There is no way I can get the data directly into the SQL Express database, as the vendor only supplies a tool for MySQL and access through odbc.
Is there a way to sync the access database and my SQL Express each 5 minutes? And off course not manual
Hi, SQL2K+SP4 When I load up Query Analyzer and click File -> Open to open up a query file, the open file dialog is always sorted by - i don't know alphabetically. How can I set the default to open up with files ordered alphabetically?
I would appreciate any thoughts/ideas on the following use case for the distributed service broker application we plan to migrate from our existing proprietary tcp based message protocol using database tables for reliability.
There are two ssb services running in separate sql server instances, each on a different server machine. For simplicity, let us assume the ssb endpoint names are SSBA, SSBB. SSBB is the Initiator of the Dialog while SSBA is the Target. Now the requirement is that if the underlying network communication between the two ssb endpoints(SSBA and SSBB) is broken or if the critical service SSBB is down, then processing of any incoming message into SSBA's queue from a third service broker service (say SSBEXPR) running within a SqlExpress instance should be delayed until SSBB is alive and network communication between SSBA and SSBB is established. In our existing implementation (wherein SSBA, SSBB and SSBEXPR are windows services) we use a combination of TCP socket disconnects and Heartbeat messages between SSBA and SSBB to determine the health of network connection and that of the SSBB service.
Now my understanding of how the underlying network connection for a ssb dialog works is that if there is no activity on a dialog for a certain amount of time then the underlying network connection is closed. Is there a way to specify the amount of time to say infinite value or something and thus change this behavior? My other question is how can one query the underlying network connection (i.e. a row from sys.dm_broker_connections) associated with a particular conversation? If none of this is possible, then any other patterns/ideas/approach is welcome.
When I go to open a file in SSMS, the Open File dialog box appears. In the left side of that box, there is a panel containing shortcuts to various locations: Desktop, My Projects, and My Computer. I would like to add some shortcuts to folder that I use in this area, but I haven't been able to figure out how. how to do this?
If I can select an input flat file via a dialog box, or it is necessary to either hardcode the file name or change the filename everytime to a similar format; &How can a query be run and processed in SQL right after input of a flat file to continue?
I experienced a weird error while deploying my SSIS package. After running the manifest file, i noticed that one of the configuration file's path was not updated in the dtsx file. My solution has 8 packages and almost every package has 2 configuration files. Except 1 file every other config file's path is being updated. Has anybody experieced such a problem?
In toder to make my SSIS packages portable, I need to be able to set connection string to sql package configuration. I thought I can do that via XML package, problem is, at execution time SQL server package configuration is queried first, then variables from XML. This way, I have no chance to set connection via XML. Any ideas on how to aproach this ? (I want to have as much configuration on SQL server so I can modify it easily from future GUI application.

Any idea on why I cannot get my connection string to work have I missed something or trying to connect to it wrongly?
I want to store my connection string in a configuration file, however when I create the config file the connection string password is not stored. I can manually edit my config file and add the password to my connection string but I am sure that BIDS has a better solution. What is the best practice for storing connection string passwords in my SSIS Configuration files?
I am trying to develop a web site. I have a local ms sql database on my machine. I am trying to connect to a ms Sql database on a goDaddy server from the application. I am trying to understand the connection string and its total properties. here is what I think should be in my web.config file < add name="Personal" connectionString="Server=whsql-v12.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net; Database=DB_XX10; User ID=myID; Password=myypassword; Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"

I developed an application and deployed it onto a hosted provider. I use SQL 2005 Express for development SQL 2000 for production. Both systems work. I backed up my production database and wish to use it for my development testing. I restored it as a SQL 2000 database on my development machine and changed my connection strings to point to it. I added it as a new Data Connection in Database Explorer and can see all of the data through it, but I see that all the tables now have the owner name in parenthesis as part of the table name. My application now fails trying to find any of the tables. It works if I include the owner name as part of the SELECT statement. So much for data separation. I don't know where to start. Is this an issue between SQL 2005 Express and SQL 2000, or is it an issue between SQL and ASP.NET, or is it a hosting provider issue, or what?????
Hey guys, don't know if this is in the right place but here goes. I'd like some advice on optimizing the way I write my code. Here's the scenario. I have a select string for 3 different tables. One for the main gridview, and two others that are binded to dropdownlists. So I created a Sqldatasource1,2,3 and had to create the connection strings for each one. ex. SqlDataSource1.ConnectionString = "blah", SqlDataSource2.ConnectionString = "blah", SqlDataSource3.ConnectionString = "blah"the thing is, the connection string itself is the same. Is there a way to consolidate that? So that when I use a select/update/insert command for each sqldatasource i dont have to have another connection string? Also, having multiple connectionstrings, does that slow down the performance?
Hi, Im struggling to work out the connection string to my ms sql database. My website is being hosted with freezone.co.uk and I have a ms sql database called "aspnetdb". I usually log into the database with a username but no password. I don't no what other information is needed to create my connection string? Thanks, Mark Lawton
