Transfer Logins: The Source Server Can Not Be The Same As The Destination Server
Nov 30, 2005
I am replacing a server so I need to migrate everything. The old server is running SQL2000 and the new server is running SQL2005. I am trying to write an SSIS solution to migrate everything for me and I can't even get started because I get the error "The source server can not be the same as the destination server". At the same time I am changing the name of the Domain so the two machines arenot even members of the same Domain. I am doing this over the Internet so the machines are not even on the same subnet. The only thing I can think of is that the machine names are the same so even though the domains are different therefore the full names are different, the NetBIOS names are the same. Could that be the problem?
I am a complete newbie to SSIS. I can create a simple package to transfer data between SQL instances and thats about it.
I have tableA (source data) and tableB (Destination data). TableA has 4 column and tableB has 5. I want to transfer all of the columns from tableA into TableB, but the 5th column in tableB needs to be populated with the ServerInstance name of the server TableA sits on. Do I need to have multiple data sources to achieve this? I have tried but no matter how I set it up, the Column in the destination is set to ignore.
I��m using express edition of SQL server 2005. 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86)
I need to transfer all SQL logins and passwords from one server to another.
The script at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133 (designed for sqlserver 7.0 and 2000) This script references a system table (master..syslogins) that may not exits in sqlserver 2005. I get the following error:
EXEC master..sp_help_revlogin
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 12 Invalid object name 'master..sysxlogins'.
Would SMO be something to try for transfering logins and passwords?
I want to schedule a job which pulls files from a non SQL server (Sybase) which later needs to have a step 2 kicking the ssis package. Problem is that, on the source a batch file will run every 4 hours and outputs total of 10 text files. (takes 5 minutes complete). Now, on destination i want to pull these files via SQL job but while scheduling;
1. I don't see any option saying like 4 hours 10 minutes or so 2. If its out there, then i believe this might be a problem as this time would be an increment one e.g next run would be 4 hours 20 minutes in that case.
How should i achieve pulling these files up because we have an SSIS package on destination that needs those text files to be used as soon as they arrive on SQL server(destination)
An SSIS package to transfer data from a DB instance on SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 is extremely slow. The package uses an OLEDB Source to OLEDB Destination for data transfer which is basically one table from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000. The job takes 5 minutes to transfer about 400 rows at night when there is very little activity on the server. During the day the job almost always times out.
On SQL Server 200 instances the job ran in minutes in the old 2000 package.
Is there an alternative to this. Tranfer Objects task does not work as there is apparently a defect according to Microsoft. Please let me know if there is any other option other than using a Execute 2000 package task or using an ActiveX Script to read records from one source and to insert them into the destination source, which I am not certain how long it might take and how viable will that be?
I was checking the logs because of some failing backups and found literally hundreds of enties for failed logins for user sa. This is does not seem to be related to the failed backups, because even after fixing the problem (disk space), the entries continue to pile up.
Needless to say, the information provided in the log is a bit sparse: date and time, source (Login), message (Login failed for user 'sa'.). If that is actually enough to go on, then there must be some way of cross-referencing this information with that found somewhere else. Is there a 'somewhere else' or are there other things I need to do in order to track this down?
I don't suspect any malicious intent, but I'm not ruling it out. My main concern at this point is twofold: to gain a better understanding of system management; to identify and correct the failed login.
Any recommendations, whether tools, documentation, or otherwise are very much appreciated.
I have an SSIS package which calls a web service and returns a Dataset object in the form of an xml file (it does this successfully - and stores it successfully).
The Data Flow then picks up the file using an xml source task (in which use inline schema is specified) , and passes it to an SQL Server Destination task - for bulk load.
I've checked the mappings and everything seems to be ok, the package gives no warnings or errors when run.
The destination table is created on the SQL Server without problem, but at that stage the task finishes "successfully", without actually loading any table rows into the destination table.
Also in the SQL Server Destination task - when I select "preview" in the connection manager section - I can see the column definitions, but again - no rows of data.
Thanks to Simon Sabin for pointing me here - I did post on the managed msdn newsgroups in sql server programming but have had no replies as yet.
Below is the beginning of the xml Dataset object which is output as an xml file for information. If you need any more information just let me know.
Not quite sure where i'm going wrong here - thanks in advance
Hi all, I got a unicode file source with this fields: -DT_WSTR (100) originally is DT_STR(100) -DT_WSTR (100) originally is DT_STR(100) -DT_NTEXT -DT_WSTR (20) originally is DT_DBTIMESTAMP -DT_WSTR (5) originally is DT_BOOLEAN
I export a Query result to a File (see above) ...as unicode TXT destination.
OK, now I must to re-import into another DB and here is my difficult...'cause the DT_NTEXT is HTML code and I got always this error: [Flat File Source [1050]] Error: The column delimiter for column "scheda" was not found. Scheda field is the DT_NTEXT.
Into connection manager area I modify the advanced tab for the set-up of my fields setting all to: Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with a variable of the len, but Try also to define everyone to the rigth type of the SQL destination like:
In every type of action I see no message alert and all seem to be good, but when I try to execute got always same error... So hope someone can help me... ----------- here first line of my UNICODE TXT source file ---------- "codven" "manufacturer" "scheda" "last_modified" "modificata" "CDGI2120" "Altri" "<datasheet><section ncellmax="1" id="1"><row order="1"><cell><![CDATA[Combat possiede mitragliatrici per intraprendere battaglie testa a ~testa del genere "spara o sei finito" in mezzo a territori ~butterati di crateri su carri armati del 23esimo secolo.~Caratteristiche:~* Cinque modalita' di gioco~* Tre tipi di carri armati~* Partita singola o in multiplayer~* Grafica in 2D, 3D]]></cell></row></section></datasheet>" "2007-12-11 13:02:26.290000000" "1" "CDGI2586" "Disney Interactive" "<datasheet><section ncellmax="1" id="1"><row order="1"><cell><![CDATA[Entra con Tigro ed i suoi amici nel meraviglioso Bosco dei 100 Acri aiutalo a cercare il miele nella natura incantata di questo fantastico mondo! ~~Il giocatore vestirÓ i panni di Tigro, il simpatico e buffo amico di Winnie The Pooh, il quale dovrÓ raccogliere quanto pi� miele possibile, per rendere la festa di Winnie qualcosa di veramente speciale!!!]]></cell></row></section></datasheet>" "2007-12-11 13:02:26.290000000" "1"
I am new to SSIS programming and trying to export data from a flatfile source to SQL server destination table dynamically. I need to get the table schema info (column length, data type etc.) from SQL server table and then map the source columns from flatfile to destination table columns.
I am referring to one of the programming samples from Microsoft and another excellent article by Moim Hossain. Can someone help me understand how to map the Source columns to destination table columns depending on table schema? Please help.
The DTS works perfectly when I run it manually. However, when I run itas a job it fails. Before you ask if i'm running it under differentsecurity context. I have already made sure of that. I was logged intothe server through remote viewer, when I created and ran the package,as well as scheduling the job. So the accounts they're running underare consistent. They're the same accounts as the SQL Agent is runningunder and it's the sys admin account.The data source is a Fox pro database with a pull of two tables. I amusing Microsoft OLE DB Foxpro driver as my source connection and OLE DBConnection for SQL Server as my destination. I am doing a simple tableto table transformation. The path of my connection is a mapped Drive:E:Main. There are other packages and jobs within my job queue that arepointing to the same database and they seem to run fine using the abovemapped drive. The ONLY difference between this package and otherpackages are that, they're few months old and this one was created lastnight. I have also enabled logging on this package and here is thebelow error when the job fails:Package Steps execution information:Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1' failedStep Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxProStep Error Description:Invalid path or file name.Step Error code: 80040E21Step Error Help File:Step Error Help Context ID:0Step Execution Started: 9/23/2006 11:39:17 AMStep Execution Completed: 9/23/2006 11:39:17 AMTotal Step Execution Time: 0.031 secondsProgress count in Step: 0
Hello, I am running a package that used to transfers data from one SQL2005 to another SQL2005. There are multiple schemas associated with the database. Until recently, this pacakage would work. Now I am getting the following error for all the tables not owned by dbo:
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks, sck10

Does anyone know what could be causing the error on Transfer SQL Server Objects Task? I tried to develope a SSIS project in the Business Intelligence studio to transfer table between databases on the same server. However, I have been getting the following error:
[Transfer SQL Server Objects Task] Error: Table "XXXXXX" does not exist at the source.
Is there a setting that I need to change to make this work? Thank you for your help.
When expoting data from excel to sql server table, using SSIS package, after exporting is done, how would i check source rows are equal to destination rows. If not to throw an error message.
How can we handle transactions in SSIS 1. when some error/something happens during export and the # of rows are not exported fully to destination, how to rollback the transaction in SSIS.

Problem: ColA (Source) Rounding error to PARTY_NO (Destination) I have a field of text of in a flat file that the flat file connection manager Source picks up correctly ��70000893�? However when it gets the OLE DB Connection Destination the data has changed to 70000896. That��s before its even Written to the database. The only clue that something is wrong in the middle is the great Data viewer shows the number as 7.000009E+07 Other clues looking at the data it appears there is a rounding error on only the number that dont end in 00 ColA (Source) PARTY_NO (Destination) 71167300 71167296 70329000 70329000 70410000 70410000 Any ideas people? Thanks in advance Dave
Does anyone have a sample SQL DMO script to transfer SQL Server logins from one server to another including the passwords ? any pointers will be greatly appreciated
I would like to know how I can transfer all Login and password and access records from one SQL Server to another, without transferring the databases. I know I can do this via DTS, but I can not figure out the right combination for bringing over the login names. passwords, and roles, with out transferring the databases. The databases have been transfered already via a backup and restore process. Now I need all of the login infomation from the old server to come across. In DTS I go through the Wizard saying to transfer the Master Database from one server to the other, and transfer objects and Data between SQL Server databases. Under the selcet options to transfer page, I uncheck the "Use Default Options" , and on the options page I select all of the "Security options" and deselect all of the "Table options" (Indexes, triggers, keys, etc). The process runs for a short time before bombing out with a failure. I can not find a log file under the Log folder to tell me where it has failed. Can anyone one lend me a hand with this?
Hi all In the process of migration of a database from one SQL 2000 server to another, I am transfering the logins using the microsoft documented script
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246133/
When i am executing the script on the source server, I am getting the following error.
Server: Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Procedure sp_help_revlogin, Line 52 'LOGINPROPERTY' is not a recognized function name.
In all the past migrations , I have used this without any issues, but not sure what have changed.
Or am i doing something really stupid. Can you guys pls execute this in your server and see whether you are able to create the sp_help_revlogin stored procedure.
I would move a Database to another server. I try to use DTS but I have problems with this process because DB have big tables, I think. I try to use DETACH and ATTACH procedures but logins doesn't export. And more, in new server there are already logins from another DBs.
What's the best way to solve this problem? Please, help Thanks
I am a systems analyst and work with an app that runs against 2 SQL Server DBs. Though I have some familiarity with SQL Server and SQL, I am not a DBA.
The app executable is tied to a Windows service. When we install the app, we run a process that builds 2 dbs to include: Tables, indexes, stored procedures, views and user accounts. SQL Server is set up for mixed mode authentication.
Normally, the dbs run off the local db user accounts which are tied to local logins with the same names. We have a client that wants to remove our standard logins so that they can run on only a Windows login. I know I should be able to tie the db users to a Windows login. And I can do the same for the service.
But I am at a loss as to how to get this done. How do you associate db users with a Windows login? When I have tried sp_change_users_login I get an error that the Windows login does not exist. (Though I have added the Windows account to the DB.)
As we all know logins and jobs aren't replicated when using AllwaysOn. What i wanna know is if the "tranfer login taks" will be enough to cover the transfer of logins between servers.
I have versions of sp_hexadecimal and sp_help_revlogin I used with SQL 2000 to transfer logins. Will they work with SQL 2005 as-is? Might I need updated versions?
I need to transfer the logins and passwords from my prod server to my DR server. I've seen a number of articles about how to transfer logins; but, I'm not finding anything on how to transfer both logins and their passwords. SQL server R2008 R2
I need to make a general package to copy SQL databases between servers. A package with fixed task properties work fine. But my plan is to make a general package and use varables to handle parameters like connection strings, server names, database names etc. My problem is the Transfer Logins Task and its collection properties like LoginsList and DatabasesList which uses string collections. In my understanding I can't make a ordinary variable in "design mode" for string collection. For that reason I wrote some code in a Script Task to set an Object variable to a string collection. And then use the object variable to set the LoginsList or DatabasesList property.
But I get following error: TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------ Nonfatal errors occurred while saving the package: Error at Transfer Logins Task: The data type of variable "User:ourceDB_list_o" is not supported in an expression. Error at Transfer Logins Task: Reading the variable "User:ourceDB_list_o" failed with error code 0xC00470D0. Error at Transfer Logins Task: The expression "@[User:ourceDB_list_o]" on property "DatabasesList" cannot be evaluated. Modify the expression to be valid.
My code to set the object variable:
Dim DBs As System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection = New System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection()
