Hello, I am trying to create a simple package programmatically. I am following the examples in the BOL, and from some advice here. I am getting stuck at creating an Excel Destination and setting its sheetname. Everything works fine, including setting the output Excel filename. I get a runtime exception when I try to set the sheetname via SetComponentProperty. Is there another way, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any info you may have.
' Create and configure an OLE DB destination.
Dim conDest As ConnectionManager = package.Connections.Add("Excel")
conDest.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & _
Dts.Variables("User::gsExcelFile").Value.ToString & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"""
conDest.Name = "Excel File"
conDest.Description = "Excel File"
Dim destination As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New
destination.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.ExcelDestination"
' Create the design-time instance of the destination.
Dim destDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = destination.Instantiate
' The ProvideComponentProperties method creates a default input.
destDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()
destination.RuntimeConnectionCollection(0).ConnectionManager = DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(conDest)
destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("AccessMode", 0)
'runtime Exception here
destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("OpenRowSet", "functions")
I have 2 Excel sheets ( Sheet1 and Summary) in an excel output file.
Sheet1 is created and loaded with data fine.
Summary sheet is getting the following error:
Error: 0xC0202009 at Write Counts and Percentages to Summary Sheet, Excel Destination [337]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
Error: 0xC02020E8 at Write Counts and Percentages to Summary Sheet, Excel Destination [337]: Opening a rowset for "Summary" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
I do have an execute SQL task to create the summary sheet before the data flow task.
The execute SQL task has
CREATE TABLE `Summary` (
`Counts_and_Percentages` LongText
)
Please advise on what I can do to troubleshoot/correct the error. Thanks
More details on the error

can anybody help me with this.I used
WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/TimeSheetApplication").ConnectionStrings("TimeSheetConnectionString").ConnectionString;
WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("TConnectionString").ConnectionString;
Hi guys,
When I thought everything is okay with this script, I got a new problem...
I have a VBA's script from Excel 2003 that builds sql script and retrieves data from SQL SERVER 2000.
in order to make the sql running, I need to use a multi - batch processing, to pass and execute every command line once a time.
Up to here, I am using a test case with Account number = '123456' and getting the desire results.
The code below is running okay with the test case, but when changing the account number (mark as yellow in the code) to include all the accounts (or just one other account), I am getting the following ERROR:
run - time error '-2147217871 (80040e31)' - [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver] time out expired.
Now, if I take the same code, with the condition that generates the ERROR, and try it into SQL Server, I get the results without errors.
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.

Hi
First up - my apologies if this is not the right forum for this question. Please let me know if there is a more appropriate one for this question.
I have come across an issue with my SQL Server 2005 Express Edition install. It has been running fine since the install (a few months back). And I can still interact (query, update etc) the databases just fine. However, SQL Management Server Studio Express has started to produce an error message when I attempt to connect the Object Explorer.
The error message is shown below.
I have tried to access the link shown in the error message but there is no information provided there.
I can use SQL Management Server Studio Express to run queries on the databases so it would appear that the underlying services are all running OK.
The SQL Server is installed using SQL Authentication only and I have not made any changes to Service accounts or the services themselves. The protocols all appear to be in order too - Shared Memory, Named Pipes, TCP/IP are all enabled.
I have restarted the SQL services and even rebooted the machine, but to no avail.
I would really appreciate if anyone out there could give me some guidance on what may be causing this issue.
Note: The SQL Server is installed on WinXP Pro SP2 running in a VirtualPC. All apps are release versions (no beta or CTP)

Hello, I am getting very frustrated! I have got a Foreach loop container which I am processing files within a folder. I have a flatfile connection manager which I have set up using a test file and have updated the expressions attribute to be the package variable I set up in the collection for the loop container however everytime I run it I get the error: 0xC0202094 cannot retrieve the column information from the flatfile connection manager. I can only guess that it is either the variable being passed to the connection manager or the way I set up the connection manager. When I msgbox the variable in a script component before the dataflow step, the variable for the file seems fine. Any suggestions are REALLY appreciated.
Yours

I've developed a package that is working well at development machine from VS 2013 for a sample flat file. Also, over development machine, I've deployed it to SSISDB catalogue and even from there also it is running well for the same file.When the same package is deployed to production server's SSISDB catalogue database, it throws following error while processing the same sample flat file, “Unable to retrieve column information from the flat file connection manager”

Hi,
I am working on SQL Server 2005 (x64) with Windows Server 2003 (x64) operating system. I am having a major issue in SSIS. Here is the detailed explanation of the issue :
I have an EXCEL file in 2003 / 2007 version. It contains some data. I want to import the data using SSIS into SQL Server 2005 (x64) database table. I have taken "EXCEL FILE SOURCE" and "SQL Server DESTINATION". It was failed on importing data. Surprisingly it works fine in SQL Server 2005 (x32). Can you please explain why it is NOT woking on (x64) ?
Here is the error code i am getting:

Hi there,
I have inherited a databse and am building a new website to go wiht it.
There is a file upload page which will upload images to a directory. I need to insert into the database retrieve the id just added then upload the image renaming it in the format locID(QueryString)_ImageID(retrieved from database).jpg
The page has a file upload control and a button.
I am trying to write my code behind so that when the button is clicked it inserts location id into the images table retrieves Image id. Renames the file and uploads it to the images folder.
II think i need to call the routine from another routine for the button click but the signatures are different, where am i going wrong? or for that matter have i been pissing into the wind for the last 4 hours?

Hi,
I am looping through excel files to import data into a sql server table.
Added a filename variable.
This variable gets set inside a foreach loop container.
In the Dataflow tab, there is a;
excel source
oledb source
In the design mode, there is an error icon (red circle with cross in it).
Can not acquire connection from connection manager.
In the connection manager, the excel connection file path is empty. It is empty because I think the variable should be assigned to it.
So when I ruun the ssis package I get this error:
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection" failed with error code 0x.....
Any thoughts please?
Thanks
Hi,
I'm using MS SQL 2000 and I want to export data from MS SQL
database to MS Excel file. So, I choose the DTS package tool to do
this job.
I try to create the connection to the Excel file, which located in the
shared location by using the UNC path, e.g.
\servernamefoldernamefilename.xls However, I cannot provide the
username/password to connect to the file's location. So, the connection
does not work.
Do you have any idea how to create the Excel connection along with
shared username/password ?
Anyway, if it is not possible :o any advices about exporting MS SQL
data to MS Excel sheet via DTS packages are still welcome....
(The reason that I prefer DTS package bec. I can schedule the job
to run it automatically)
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
I have a question regarding which expressions need to be set to have the excel connection manager be able to create/update a file dynamically. I'm reading a path in from a database and storing it in a variable. The path is just the location of an excel file. What I would like to have happen is that the excel connection manager be dynamic so that if I wanted to change where this file went or the name I could simply change the value in the database.
I've tried setting the expressions, in the Excel connection Manager: ConnectionString,ExcelFilePath, and Servername to the variable \pathfolderfile.xls with no luck. The ConnectionString seems to be a little funny because it contains Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source = ; Extended Properties =; HDR=YES", so I don't know if I can just use that expression and ignore the others or what.
Any help would appreciated,
Phil
This method has worked beautifully for all my SSIS pkgs thus far.
Basically, I use a Script Task to derive the name of the newest file in a local directory. Then I save the name of the file to user a user variable, e.g. User::File.
Then, in my flat file properties > Expressions, I set "ConnectionString" to reference User::File.
However, when attempting to use this method with an Excel source, I get this error message:
Error at myPkg [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: The connection string format is not valid. It must consist of one or more components of the form X=Y, separated by semicolons. This error occurs when a connection string with zero components is set on database connection manager.
Error at myPkg: The result of the expression "@[User::Folder]+ @[User::File]" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property.
HELP......... I need this to work!
Thanks
Hello everyone,
Since I would like to use an Excel 2007 File (*.xlsx) as Data Source, I created an ODBC Connection. It worked fine so far: the connection is established, I get the data as expected in the "Query Designer tab" and I could insert the fields in my report. However, when I want to see the result on the "Preview tab", I get an error saying that the "Report Definition '/myReport' is not valid...".
I don't know what could be wrong in my Report... Am I missing something in the ODBC configuration?
My Connection String is as follows:
Dsn=pl_excel;dbq=C:PublicPL_DataSource.xlsx;defaultdir=C:Public;driverid=1046;fil=excel 12.0;maxbuffersize=2048;pagetimeout=5
I also tried to create an OLE DB connection but I got the same error...
Thanks for your help, I'm waiting for your suggestions...

So from the message I'm assuming that somewhere in the package configuration its missing the path to be able to find the Excel spreadsheet in question. But when opening up the package configuration I can't see anything immediately wrong. For the path of the spreadsheet location I've used the full UNC path instead of any mapped drive locations I've being guilty of using in the past. Below is the Excel Connection Manager section of my configuration file:

</ConfiguredValue>
I've checked the rest of the configuration file and wherever something needs a username and password, they are entered correctly. I've also made sure that the account I'm logged onto our server and running the package under can access the excel file in question with no issues.
What is abit strange is that I have another package that runs in a similar way and also uses an Excel Connection Manager but from a different folder in the same area and that runs fine. I've tried to compare the 2 sets of connection managers to see if I can spot the difference but I've been unable to so far. Al that I can see that is different is the folder winningproject somtimes being in lowercase and then sometimes having capitals, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
I'm hoping a fresh pair of eyes will be able to spot something obvious that I've missed!! Below is the Excel Connection Manager section of the configuration file I have that works fine.:

Hi,
Currently I am trying to connect to SQL Server 2005 via Excel VBA. I would like to create a connection to the server as I have previously done with my 2000 server. However, the diffence this time is that I am using Active Directory so there are no specific log-in's for SQL per se just Windows Users that are part of groups, any of which could use this spreadsheet. So where-as previously I included the username and password for SQL Server in the connection string I would now like to use the credentials currently logged onto the particular machine.
My previous code was this
Public Function getConnection() As ADODB.Connection
' Create a connection object.
Dim Conn As ADODB.Connection
Set Conn = New ADODB.Connection
' Provide the connection string.
Dim strConn As String
'Use the SQL Server OLE DB Provider.
strConn = "Network Library=DBMSSOCN;PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;"
'Connect to the Pubs database on the local server.
strConn = strConn & "DATA SOURCE=SQL02,1433;INITIAL CATALOG=dbDataWareHouse;"
'Use a login.
strConn = strConn & " Uid=*******;Pwd=******;"
'Now open the connection.
Conn.ConnectionString = strConn
Conn.Open
Set getConnection = Conn
End Function
Would anyone be able to point me in the eight direction ? Your help would be much appreciated
Many Thanks

Hi,
I can use Http connection to Analysis Services 2005 from Excel but when I try to use IIS it fails.
AS and IIS are on different machines and not in the same domain.
In the event log of the server with AS i can see following event:

You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: .
I assume it's permission issue. Excel and IIS must be using different user to connect to AS. I tried with different authentication methods on the iis but without success.
How can I make IIS connect with proper permissions?

I have a package that uses a for loop to iterate through an unknown amount of excel files and pull their data into a table. However, there will be cases when the file is corrupted or has some sort of problem so that either the transformation will fail or the excel source will fail.
I have it so that for each iteration if the transform was successful the file is moved to an archive directory, and if it fails the file is moved to a different directory.
But I don't want the package to be marked as failed. For the control flow tasks I have set the individual components to FailPackageonFailure = False, and for the Data Flow tasks I have set ValidateExternalMetadata = False.
It no use to set the MaxErrorCount higher because I can't guarantee how many files will be processed and how many might fail.
Could anyone suggest a clean way to trap these errors? Specifically, the "Cannot Aquire Connection from Connection Manager", which is the excel connection.
Thanks
Hi all,
I am able to set dynamic source for the text file(flat file) but i want to set the connection string (file name) to excel source dynamicaly. I have tryied lots of time by taking a variable in foreachloop container . Variable is itself able to pick the file name dynamicaly but whern i am tying to set connectionstring to excel source it gives error.
Steps that i have done: -
1) Drag foreachloop container
2) set directory,FileNameRetrieval,FileSpec
3) Made VariableMapping
4) Now drag a dataflow task in the foreachloop container
5) select excel source
6) When i am selecting varaible as connectin string from properties of excel connectin manager, i am getting this error : -

Hi *, is there a way to connect Excel to SQL Server so that Excel serves as a frontend to SQL Server? I heard rumors that this is possible with the 2007 release.
I'm looking for a product that helps me storing massive data outside an Excel file. Right now, I'm using Palo (open source multidimensional database).

Hi
I am trying to connect to SQL Express from Excel VBA using an user instance.
I have tried the following connection string:
Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=.SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=full_path_to_mdf; Database=dbname;Trusted_Connection=Yes;
And I get the following error : Could not open new database 'dbname' CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
All I want is an Excel document to connect to a .mdf that is stored on a CD (The database will be readonly). I do not want the database to be stored on the users hard drive.
Many Thanks

Hi SSIsians,
I have a package with Excel Destination with dynamic connection.
I did ExcelFilePath = [@user::VarSourceFolder]+[@user::VarSourceFileName]
then i changed the Delayvalidation = True.
When i try to run the package in BIDS it gives the error.
ERROR:
[Excel Source [30501]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.
[Excel Source [30501]] Error: Opening a rowset for "DailySheet" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
It saying there is no sheet in the name of "DailySheet" but when i removed the expression in connection manager property it is working fine.
Please let me know what is the problem OR how to configure the dynamic connection in ExcelSource.
Thanks

Using excel connection to load data to SQL Server When I try doing this character data is loading as nulls, I have tried by putting IMEX=1 property in connection string and removing IMEX=1 property from connection string , in both cases it is showing nulls, in the data viewer which i have placed after Excel source. I have also tried using the OPENROWSET which for some reason does not create an adhoc connection. I also tried changing the Datatypes in the advanced editor which again throws error. For some reason SSIS excel connection reads only the first 8 rows and decides a datatype and rest showup NULL.
Hi There
I am having some issues with dts packages i have migrated using the package migration wizard.
One of the connection managers points to an execl flat file source.
I have not altered anything after the package migration, the conenction manager is using Native OLE DBMicrosoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
When i test the connection i get the following error :
"Test connection failed becuase of an error in initializing provider. Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by anotehr user."
Ok i am 99% sure this file is not being accessed by another user, the rest of the error is greek to me. Looking on the net for this error it has to do with access database security and having to sertup htm pages for IIS, i cannot findanything on this error relating to ssis connection manager.
PLEASE HELP.
Thanx
Hi,
I'm trying to write a package that imports a bunch of Excel files into a sql server table. My import routine works fine when I do not use a foreach loop container. I then add a Foreach Loop Container with a Foreach File Enumerator and create a variable to store all of the excel file names to use with my excel connection manager in the connection string property.
When I run the debugger I get the following error:
TITLE: Package Validation Error
------------------------------
Package Validation Error

I've read the varous posts on this forum and others with people having this problem and nothing that was recommended to them works for me. I've also read the Msdn article 'How to:Loop through Excel files and Tables' and followed the directions there without success. I've tried the following with no success:
I've tried to create first a hard coded connection string in the excel conn. manager which works but as soon as I set the experessions: connection string property = my file enumerator variable it breaks.
Turned the Delay Validation to True for the package as well as the task
Set the Connection string equal to not just the variable coming from the file enumerator but to the full connection string : "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + @[User::excel_filename] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=YES";"
I've also tried to set the excel filepath property instead of the connection string and this didn't work either.
I'm getting really frustrated. Any advice on why something so simple doesn't work for me would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have a folder of excel files with different file names and sheet names inside the file. So File A could have Sheet1A and file B could have Sheet2B.
The assumption is that the sheets would have similar data in them for all files even though sheet names are different. I was able to dynamically create the excel connection string using a for loop and choosing the Data Access mode of the excel source to be Table name or View name variable. I have run into a "[DTS.Pipeline] Error: "component "Excel Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA".
Was wondering if anybody was able to play in such a scenario and resolve the issue.
By the way a lot of the posts in this blog helped me get this far so thanks for all the posts.
Hi,
RE. SSIS (v9.00.1399.00) --- FeedFile Excel Connection Manager --- Concurrency Issue
1. I have 15 completely separate SSIS Packages all of which use the FeedFile Excel Connection Manager to read data from completely separate Excel worksheets.
2. When I invoke, say, 5 of these Packages at the same time then one or more (at random) of them fail with the following error message:-
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "FeedFile Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
3. When I invoke the failed Packages again then they succeed.
So, do you know if there is:-
(a) a concurrency issue with the "FeedFile Excel Connection Manager" ?
(b) a read-only option (in the SSIS Package code) which needs to be specified to overcome file contention issues?
Additional Information about the FeedFile Excel Connection Manager:-
Connection String=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:DoesNotNeedToExist.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=NO";
DelayValidation=True
ExcelFilePath= C:DoesNotNeedToExist
RetainSameConnection=False
Note1. The actual Excel filename which is read is generated dynamically at run-time by a Script Task. This is why DelayValidation has been set to: True (Note. The file: "C:DoesNotNeedToExist" does not actually physically exist.)
Note2. We have another SSIS Package which uses the FeedFile FlatFile Connection Manager. When we run this same Package concurrently (i.e. invoke it 5 times, at the same time, with different input files) then all 5 invocations succeed, which is what we would expect.
Thanks.
