HI, I need to know whether I am on the last row or not in my script component. If this is the case, I would alter a column in the row that indicates me that I am processing the last row. Is there a way to do it? I tried with process input but when the EndOfRowSet() indicates me that the last row is porcessed, I cannot alter the row in the buffer.
Thank you,

Hi
I am currently trying to write a custom transform componet in c# that will take a row of data, perform a look-up via an external system,
then if there is a match then send the data from the extranel system down macth ouptut (which will have different columns to the input) and drop the data that
was read, else send the data down the unmacthed output which will be the same as the input.
So I would like to write a synchrons transform becuase I don't need read all the rows from the input buffer before I started processing, also I wish have millions of rows
load in memory.
Can this be done? also does any have explame code of how to do this? becuse I can't see how to send data down the match output buffer,
as this will have the lookup results data which will have diffent columns to the input data and how disgard the input data as well.
Thanks Steve
Wanted to enquire how this is done. Tried doing it in the setUsageType method I have overwritten but only allows description to be changed. Basically need to change "Name".
Best option would be to change it instantly when a user selects a column from the inputs in the custom component, ie. it changes the Output Alias to a desired value. (Input tab in advanced editor)
All this is being done in a custom component which I would like to be synchronous, can achieve a similar result asynchronously.
Thanks
Hello,
I have a package that has a data lfow task. this task imports data from a db2 database (using the IBM Ole DB provider fro db2) and adds it to sql server database table.

Hi,
I have a package which reads an Access file from a folder. My connection manager to this file is .NET providers for OledbMicrosoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Package works from my computer. But when I execute it on the server as a SQL Agent job, I get
The component metadata for "component "DataReader Source" (1) could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed.
I copied the mdb file to a folder on the server which my packages have no problem reading data from.
My packages run under the same domain account as defined in proxies.
Appreciate a help.

The following statement is from Microsoft documentation:
If you use the ExclusionGroup property to specify that rows should only go to one or another of a group of outputs, as in the Conditional Split transformation, you must call the DirectRow method to select the appropriate destination for each row. When you have an error output, you must call DirectErrorRow to send rows with problems to the error output instead of the default output.
I have a question about this because I have never used the "ExclusionGroup" property. For example, I have a script component where I specify 4 separate outputs, because I am sending different groups of rows to each output. I accomplish this programmatically using a lot of conditionals and it works fine.
I did not have to use the "ExclusionGroup" property to do this. So I'm not sure why I would ever need this, or to use DirectRow? I'm trying to understand this better, because maybe I feel like I'm not understanding the DirectRow, or how/when to use it.
Thanks
Can someone please clarify:
If you have a data file, and you only want CERTAIN rows to pass to the destination, ie) a table
and you are using a script task to accomplish this,
is this a synchronous or asynchronous transformation?
Q. And how do you assign the values to the output? Do you have to create output columns, or not?
I am very very confused right now. I can't seem to find a decent answer to what is a very basic question either in my SSIS book or in the documenation. Perhaps it is so basic, that the question doesn't seem valid? I don't know. But I just don't understand this at all.
Thank you
I'm new to SSB, so please bear with me. Our application requirements are:
1) Web app gathers user input from a web UI.
2) Web app calls a stored procedure, passing in the user input gathered in step (1).
3) Procedure issues queries to multiple data sources (SQL Server 2005 db's) derived from the user input.
4) Procedure waits for replies from these multiple data sources, governed by a timeout in case a data source is unavailable or slow to respond.
5) Procedure aggregates the data returned in step (4) from multiple data sources into an XML document.
6) Procedure returns the XML document as an output parameter.
This is different than the usual SSB asynchronous application paradigm. In particular, I'm wondering:
How can I setup a synchronous dialog, where the procedure that issues the SEND waits for a reply from the target service? I don't want the initiator procedure to end after SENDing, but rather wait for the replies to those messages so it can aggregate the data from the reply message bodies.
Thanks - Dana Reed

View 19 Replies View RelatedI have synchronous mirroring. Some times I loose connection to witness and mirror servers. These times primary server is down. Is there any way I can change mirroring to asynchronous when primary server is down due to communication break down between witness and mirrored servers? I can break mirroring but to re-establish mirroring, I have to backup and restore on the other side. So if I can change mirroring to asynchronous when primary server is down due to connection breakdown between witness and mirrored server, then when witness and mirror servers come back, I don't need to restore the entire database. Ofcourse I could use asynchronous always but that does not failover automatically. I am thankful to all answers and suggestions. Thanks.

I am using SQL SERVER 2005.
I am creating a Merge replication(between two databses), its working well, but i need to goto the Local publications & right click there & select the "View Synchronization Status" & then start the Agent manually to Synchronous the databases.
Now I want the Two databses should be replication (Merge) automatically without going to any menu.
I mean the Synchronization takes place when any of the Databases changes, automatically, without touching anything.
For Example:
If one record is inserted in a table(on commit) of Database ONE, it should be Reflected to the other table of the database TWO.
Any Idea, or Link or solution???

Porting an existing SQL 2k DTS job over to a SQL 2k5 SQL Server running SSIS.
Background:
The job loads data into an empty work table and performs some work before clearing out the work table.
This job runs every minute.
Question:
If the job happens to take longer than a minute, does SSIS create a second instance of the job?
Or perhaps it does what DTS did and reschedules the job for the next iteration?
Concern:
I need to know because there would be key contraint violations if another instance of the job started before the working table was cleared out.
Thanks in advance
I'm creating a script component that reads from an OLEDB source and writes to an OLEDB destination.
For every input row, I need to output several rows.I tried using the Row.DirectRowToOutput0() method inside a loop in the
Input0_ProcessInputRow routine but that's not working. Should I be using Addrow() instead? If I use Addrow() does this mean it needs to be an asynchronous transformation?
I remember seeing a blog entry (Jamie's?) that did almost exactly what I wanted, but I can't find it now.
Any pointers appreciated
Hi
I'd like to know if there's a way to control the execution of ETL packages, such that:
Different packages, or at least packages that don't access the same table or database run asynchronously with respect to each other; e.g., two different packages run at the same time
and
If a package is called for execution more than once by different requests, force them to run synchronously, or one after the other.If this is possible, what resources would it require? Is this possible under, say, a dual or quad processor machine?
Thanks.
Hi,
Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
What I am trying to do should be very straightforward:
Take a flat file, perform various transformation on various columns using the SCRIPT COMPONENT task, then send the transformed (and un-transformed) rows to a table in the database.
My question is, how to do this using scripting? I have yet to see an example of what I'm trying to do. (I have both Kirk Haselden's book, Donald Farmer's SSIS scripting book, and the msdn website, but I have yet to see an example of what I'm trying to do!)
FILE SOURCE --> SCRIPT COMPONENT (synchronous transform) --> OLE DB DESTINATION
How do I account for all the columns that will be both transformed and un-transformed, and get them into the table? That is the missing piece of information I can't find anywhere.
The closest thing I found was this code snippet. Do I need to use this syntax, eg. Me.Output0Buffer.FirstName = (where FirstName is the actual column name??)
etc.
Then, once I hook up the SCRIPT COMPONENT to the OLEDB Destination, which uses a connection manager to the table, it will insert FirstName with what I specify?
Help. Thanks.
Me.Output0Buffer.AddRow()
Me.Output0Buffer.FirstName = columnValue (or whatever)
We are seeing high number of hadr_sync_wait types on our server after setting up AOAG during peak times. We have setup sync type as synchronous commit and failover automatic. Can we change these settings to async and manual failover whenever we need and change them back to sync commit during off peak timings. Any drawbacks because of these changes ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to implement a read only replica to move much of the data read for an application to the secondary replica. Initially I had the the primary and secondary set to asynchronous commit. QA brought up an issue with creating entities from the application because after the creation of an entity the application turns around and repopulates the entire aggregate object. Well it seems that the application was reading the secondary replica before the data had been committed. Although I understand the issues that synchronous commits can cause, I went ahead and made the change as I expected it to fix the issue. After changing the primary replica to synchronous we still had the error, so I also changed the secondary although that makes no since, but the issue remains.

Hi,
Can someone explain how the PR testharness is supposed to function? When I run it f with and without debugging and by using dtexec other processes can start and stop before the awaiting response from the console date and number of days to process. If you just look at the testharness and the loadgroupfulldaily the increment date and SQL Audits will finish prematurely before the console data is even entered. Is there a property that I am missing?
Thanks,

I have a package with 10 synchronous dataflows, which, combined, load about 300MB of flat file data to a database. This package would run successfully on 2 of our database servers, but would regularly fail on a third. The server on which it was failing is a 4 processor box with 16GB Ram with Windows Server 2003, SQL 2005, SSIS and SSRS installed - much more robust than one of the others that the package worked on. The SSIS error messages returned alternated between the following (with no apparent reason why one would show up rather than another, though the first was the most common):
"The file name "\Server1Folder1File1.txt" specified in the connection was not valid."
"The file name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters."
"An error occurred while initializing the flat file parser."
For the first error message, the error would report different connection managers and their associated file as invalid from run to run. All of the files across the 10 dataflows resided in the same network folder, and the package would read in and process a few of them before failing, so the problem was definitely not the connection string.
Searching the forums, etc. for these errors provided no useful information - given the real cause of the problem, these error messages are worse than unhelpful, they send you looking in the wrong direction. It was only when trying to track down another problem on the same server that I discovered the issue. When trying to copy database backups greater than 12GB over the network to this server, the operation would fail with an "Insufficient System Resources" message.
Some research led to the discovery that problem was caused by the /3GB switch in the boot.ini file of the server (don't let your Server team use that switch if you have 16GB of memory or more). Removing the switch and setting SQL to utilize AWE, fixed both the file copy problem AND the SSIS package failure problem. The SSIS package failed, not due to a bad connection string, but rather to insufficient server resources (read memory) to handle the simultaneous connections.
I hope this may help any others trying to track down this kind of SSIS package failure.
I will also provide here what I have gleaned about setting up Memory usage for SQL Server 2005 running on 32 bit Windows Server 2003 (with the caveat that I am no expert €“ corrections and additional information are welcome).
The following links got me started in my research (thanks to the folks who provided such useful information):

Also, search BOL for:
Server Memory Options
Enabling Memory Support for Over 4 GB of Physical Memory
Enabling AWE Memory for SQL Server
Windows Server 2003 provides access to 4GB of virtual address space. By default, 2GB is assigned to the OS and 2GB to applications. This default can be change to 1GB for the OS and 3GB for applications by the use of the /3GB switch in the boot.ini file.
Physical memory over 4GB can be addressed by enabling Physical Addressing Extensions (PAE), which is done by setting the /PAE switch in the boot.ini file. This does not increase the systems virtual address space, rather it increases the size of the page table (which is maintained within the virtual address space), adding entries to reference the physical memory above 4GB.
It is important to note that these two switches are not interdependent (they do different things and you can turn each on or off regardless of the others status), though the combination of them has an impact on server performance and the maximum amount of physical memory which can be addressed.
The /3GB switch only impacts the allocation of the first 4GB of memory (virtual address space) between the OS and applications (default 50/50 % split, with switch on - 25% OS and 75% applications). The /PAE switch enables the system to reference/manage physical memory above 4GB, but does not alter the allocation percentages of the first 4GB of memory between the OS and applications. However, when PAE is enabled, the OS requires more memory within the first 4GB to manage the physical memory above 4GB (due to increased page table entries). With the /3GB switch, the OS has only 1GB of virtual address space, and only enough space to manage a total of 16GB of physical memory. If 32GB of physical memory is installed, 16GB of it will go to waste.
Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) is an API that allows an application to address more than the 2-3GB of memory that is available to applications within the virtual address space (first 4GB of memory). SQL Server can utilize AWE to take advantage of memory above the first 4GB that is made available via PAE, and can even reserve portions for its own use. I believe (though I can€™t remember where I got this bit) that SQL utilizes AWE memory only for the page cache (buffer pool €“ which seems to be a misnomer), and not for other operations.
To enable AWE, see the BOL references above.
The big question: what are the recommended settings for all of these? That all depends on what you have running on the server. You need to leave space for the OS, SQL Server and any other applications you have.
The hard and fast rules:
If you have more than 4GB of RAM, you must use the /PAE switch in order to take advantage of it.
If you have more than 16GB of RAM, you must NOT use the /3GB switch in order to take advantage of it.
Based on anecdotal evidence, I€™ve noticed the following generally recommended guidelines €“ assuming the server is dedicated to SQL.
Use of the /3GB switch seems to be a generally accepted practice if you have 8GB of RAM or less. For between 8 and 16GB, some say never use the /3GB switch, others say you can use it up to 12GB and still others up to 16GB. I interpret this to mean that it all depends on what types of loads are being placed on the server and that testing on individual servers will be required to determine whether or not to use the switch. Certainly that was my experience - the /3GB switch worked fine with 16GB RAM, until the server encountered a certain workload. For me, no more /3GB switch.
For setting SQL to use AWE, most seem to agree that it should be enabled if you have more than 4GB RAM. The setting of max server memory is more complicated. BOL seems to suggest (the €˜Server Memory Options€™ entry) a formula of Total Physical Memory minus 1-2GB for the operating system. Based on a desire to be a bit more conservative, I am now using the following formula:
max server memory = total physical memory
minus
4GB for the OS and application processes (since the AWE memory is utilized for page cache, not SQL processes)
minus
AWE memory required by other applications, including other instance of SQL Server
If anyone has additional insight, or a more refined equation, I could certainly benefit from it.
In a Data Flow, I have the necessity to use a SSIS variable of type €œObject€? inside Script Component and assign to it the content of 'n' variables of string type.
On exiting from the script the variable of type object should contain something like in the following lines:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
On exiting from the data flow I will use the variable of type Object in a Script Task, by reading each element in a cyclic fashion.
Is there anyone who have experienced something like this? Could anyone provide any example of that?
Thanks in advance!
Hi all
I'm into a project which uses a lot of views for joining 2 or more tables. Using the MERGE component in SSIS will be a huge effort coz it only has 2 inputs and I gotta SORT the input too.
Isnt it possible to have a VIEW like component that joins more than 2 tables and DOESNT need sorting??
(I've thought about creating views in database engine but it breaks my data floe in SSIS and is'nt a practical solution)
I am writing a custom dataflow transformation component and I need to get the name of the preceeding component.
I have been trying to find a way to get a reference to the Package object, MainPipe object or IDTSPath90 object (connecting to the IDTSInput90 of my component) from my component because I think from there I can get to the information I want.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
TIA . . . Ed
No idea where this bug crept in from. Have been using SSIS for 1.5 years now without hitting this problem.
I had a script component opening an XML document and parsing it using XPATH. I added some code that uses StreamReader / Streamwriter (closing one stream before starting the other). The code works without issue in my C# app.
And it ran without issue 2-3 times in SSIS. Then suddenly after running my package again, the script component says it completes successfully, yet nothing happens. I set a breakpoint on the first line of code - it never hits it. I add a msgbox as the first line of code - and it never displays.
I then close my package / exit out of ssis ... and then re-open it. When i open my script component, all of my code is GONE. All references that I added are gone.
I tried adding the streamreader/writer process to a dll I created from my c# app ... and added the DLL to the package -- same result.
I can reproduce this on 2 different computers.
Anyone experience this problem ? Any idea how to stop it ? Or debug it ?
Here is a slimmed down code sample of what causes the error :
Public Class ScriptMain
Public Sub Main()
Try
Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument
xmlDoc.Load("c:ulkasync_86281519_20070628045850225_4.xml")

Hi,
If you have two synchronous transformation components and the input of the second is connected to the output of the first, does the first transformation process (loop through) all rows in the buffer before outputting these rows to the second transformation? Or does the first transformation output each individual row to the second transormation as soon as it has finished processing it?

1) We are writing a custome Source component for Oracle with OCI calls, Could some one please let me know how to Enable Error Handling for the Same,
2) Is it possible to write Custome Error Handeling Component for SSIS? if yes could you please help me on how to write it.
Thanks in advance.
How can we get the name of the component inside the Data Flow Task . What I want is to log error stating which component in the data flow task has failed. Package and Data Flow names I am getting from system variables. I want to log like the Execution Result screen with Name of the component and [its id].
Like "Derived Column[216]" has failed with some error
It is possible?
I'd like to incorporate the "package component tree" UI component that is used within the Visual Studio designers into an SSIS utility I'm building. This is the one I'm talking about:
Edit: Apparently using the IMG tag on these forums works in the editor preview, but not in the actual posts, so I've replaced images with links...
Example 1
Example 2
I've done some searching online, but have not found any information about where this UI is implemented, or if it is reusable. Does anyone here know if it is possible to re-use this component in a .NET application?
Thanks in advance!

How can I solve this problem?
Ok. I have 2005 standard with sp2 installed. Went to create a maintenance plan and low and behold the component is missing. Ok.. no big deal, i'll just add it. Of course you know this is the error I get.
To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter.
Ok.. doesn't seem too bad. So I go to a dos prompt. d: oolssetup.exe skuupgrade=1
Same error.
Help please :)

Hi,
I'm trying to add an icon to a custom component but its not happening and I can't figure out why. I'm sure I've managed to do this in the past. Here's my DtsPipelineComponent attribute:
Code Snippetnamespace Jamiet.Ssis
{
[DtsPipelineComponent(
DisplayName="MyComponent",
Description="Does some stuff",
ComponentType=ComponentType.Transform,
NoEditor=true,
IconResource="MyComponent.ico"
)
MyComponent.ico is stored in the same folder as my project (i.e. at the same level as the .cs file and the C# project file).
In the application property page I've pointed the icon resource at MyComponent.ico
Everything compiles OK. But I see no icon in my component when I deploy it to the toolbox or use it in a package.
I've also tried changing the attribute to this:
Code Snippetnamespace Jamiet.Ssis
{
[DtsPipelineComponent(
DisplayName="MyComponent",
Description="Does some stuff",
ComponentType=ComponentType.Transform,
NoEditor=true,
IconResource="Jamiet.Ssis.MyComponent.ico"
)
Again, it compiles OK, but no icon!
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Hi all,
I'm creating a custom interface for reporting services but I am having a few problems. This is my environment:
Using the ReportViewer component in remote mode to show my reports of the report server. There are 2 user levels of which any user can be apart of, Admin & user. In every report, there is a parameter called MERCHANTID, when the user who logs in (via custom login interface) is of group admin, then the merchantid parameter gets prompted before the report is run, if the group of the user is "user" then the merchantid parameter is hidden, and is passed programatically to the report. The report path also
My Questions:
1. When my reportviewer component loads up the report and prompts for a parameter, when you select a parameter value or type it in, it just posts back with no results, just the parameter prompt again with no data... How can this be corrected?
2. How do I pass report parameters programatically... so that when my user id of group "user" then "merchantid" gets passed automatically, but if there is any more parameters, then that gets prompted...
Thanks for your help.
