I want to update a char column and remove all the periods (.) - middle initial data. What are the basic steps in SSIS?
Source Table/Column --> Transform of some kind --> ? --> ?
I've never had to massage data and replace in the same table in my brief career so far but I see a lot more ahead.
There isn't a simple sql statement to do this, is there?
TIA
I am going nuts trying to get this to work. Maybe someone can help me. I am running sql server 2000 and am using a dts package. The package runs fine on sql server. When I access it using asp.net I get the following error:

I searched through several forums and found that this seems to be a permissions problem. I set the IIS process to Low, I also added the <identity impersonate="true" /> tag to my web.config file. After adding the tag I get a new error message:

Hi,
I have two job J1 and J2, each one has 10 steps. Now I want J2 to be the 11th step of J1 and I did not want manually type all the steps of J2 to be 11-20 step of J2. Is there an easy way through TSQL to do this ?
sp_add_jobstep only works when the step is OS command or a script but not a job
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?
Thanks in advance,
Lawrie.
tell me the difference between Audit transformation and rowcount transformation.
Because audit and rowcount transformation will provide the environment variables.
Only difference i am finding is rowcount returns the count of rows its updating .
Apart from these is there any other difference?
Tell me the scenario where i need to use the audit transformation.
Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0. I have a job which runs DTS packages (1 package per step). When a task fails within my DTS package, I'd like an error returned for that step in the job thus stopping the job and not starting up the next step (DTS package) in the job. As it stands right now, if a task fails within the DTS package, that step in the job still returns a successful completion. Has anyone seen this before and is there something I can do to get the DTS to send a failure for that step in the job?
Thanks in advance,
Darrin
I am going to be moving multiple databases to a new server. Everything should go smooth, but I need to change a lot of the DTS packages that reference the old servername and replace it with the databases DNS record.
Is there an easy way to get a list of which dts reference the old server explicitly (not using database DNS)?
Thanks.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHello,
Can anybody tell me how many steps it's possible to put in one job.
The reason I ask is that we have a job that has over 500 steps (import data from Excel file into SQl table) and every time it runs we have different steps failures.
Does fact, that excel file was dropped and recreated, change DTS Id ?
Thank you in advance
Hi,
I am new to replication.
I have to replicate a db on SQL7.0 sp5 .
It's going to be transactionol.
Is there any article which explains everything - where to start from and where to end?
I mean everything step by step.....
TIA.
hello!
A job as a whole can be scheduled.But can a individual job step be scheduled?
thankfully in advance,
Rams.
Here is an interesting problem I can't figure out. I have a job with 6 steps as follows:
Step 1 - Import text file 1
Step 2 - Import text file 2
Step 3 - Delete all data from address tables 1 and 2
Step 4 - Copy data from imported table 1 to address table 1
Step 5 - Copy data from imported table 2 to address table 2
Step 6 - Delete imported taxt file table 1 and 2
Now when I run each of these steps individually, like running the dts packages and stored procedures my self it all works fine and the data in my tables appears to update. Then, when I set the job to run automatically, it says completed and no errors but my data hasn't updated. The job must be doing what it is meant to as it took about 40 seconds which is normal.
Ever seen this problem before?
Hello,
SQL Server 2005 Enterprise and new hardware have been ordered for our department. We currently run SQL Server 2000 (sp4). We have almost 500 DTS packages, 293 Jobs, and 14 user databases with hundreds of objects within.
Is there any documentation out there on how to scrutenize a current system? I have searched, and most of what I can find addresses migration planning with the assumption that the databases, packages, jobs, security, etc are ready to move over. We have a lot to think about before we can do that. We know we have redundancy problems (like View proliferation), table schema issues, obsolete DTS packages and Jobs, and otherwise a host of opportunities to 'clean house' and/or improve. We would really like to get a handle on what we are migrating before we migrate.
If you have any ideas or resources to you feel would be worth looking at, please share.
Thank you for your help!

Generally speaking when you want to optimise an application that relies on a database which is the order of the following optimization techniques
a) optimizing the spread of the pysichal elements of the database on different disks of the server
b) optimizing the use ot the RAM
c) optimizing the SQL
d) opimizing the OS
Thank you,

I've created SQL Server Agent jobs through management studio on SQL Server 2005. I can view and edit these jobs when I am logged into the server via remote desktop, but when trying to administer these jobs through Management Studio on a different machine, the steps do not appear in the job properties window.
Anybody else see this behavior? Know why it occurs? Is it a bug, or another wonderful "feature" of Manglement Studio?
i have setup a sql job with 4 steps
1-checkdb
2-indexdefrag
3-sp_updatestats
4-email notification.
if 1,2 success go next step
if 1,2,3 fails go step 4
if 3, 4 success quit with success
if 4 fails quit with failure
i created a script and pasted it in production server and i get this msg:
Warning: Non-existent step referenced by @on_fail_step_id.
Warning: Non-existent step referenced by @on_fail_step_id.
Warning: Non-existent step referenced by @on_fail_step_id.
how can i fix it? I think the error is due to step 4 not executing before calling it from stepe 1,2,3

What in SSIS replaces DTS Task Steps? In DTS you could build tasks and assign them an order in which to execute. How is this replaced in the SSIS Control Flow. Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks for reviewing my question. I am trying to install SQL Server 2005 but I keep running into the same error:
SQL Server Setup failed to obtain system account information for the ASPNET account. To proceed, reinstall the .NET Framework, and then run SQL Server Setup again.
The only documentation I find on this is configuring the issolation mode in IIS 6.0.
Any help on is will be appreciated.

Hi All,
In creating 'steps' in JOBS, is it possible to execute many DOS CmdExec in
one step, instead of creating several steps with a single DOS-cmd in each.
For example:
Step1: bcp sourcedb..sourcetbl out source.dat -n -T -Ssourceserver
Step2: isql -T -Stargetserver -Q "truncate table targettbl"
Step3: bcp targetdb..targettbl in source.dat -n -T -Stargetserver
If I created a job executing those 3 functions in 3 separate steps then it works fine. But if I put all those 3 DOS command in one step, it won't work. Somehow,
SQL doesn't 'understand' it should execute after the end of each command OR
I missed something here (apparently so!).
I know if I put all those 3 DOS commands into a DOIT.BAT and execute it, it will work. But I want to use SQL Job to schedule it to run on a regular basis.
Anyone has run into this same problem? Thanks in advance.
David Nguyen.
My end game is to automate some of my monthly queries in a Job in SQL Server Agent. Right now I have two metric tables. One table is the name and comment with the PK. The secondary table is attributes/detail, such as reporting month, target and actuals.
I am currently running all different types of queries to get the aggregates. I'd like to get these into a job so it would run automatically and update the reporting table.
Would you recommend making one step or multiple steps for each query? I am trying to use an intelligent approach to begin to load the tables.
Hi all,
Can any one help me in this issue?I am new for this SQL server.By creating scripts from server system.I got the tables without data in my system.But i want to get the full database as usual there in server.

Hi, I have one data flow with 10 sources and destinations in the flow. For the sources I'm using the datareader for an odbc and for the destination I'm using the ole db destination source. By default these run parallel when executed. Is there a way in the dataflow to run them step by step instead of creating 10 different data flow tasks in the control flow? Or is it better to have 10 different data flow tasks?
Good Evening!
First and foremost any help would be greatly appreciated!My question is how to use a temp table within two (2) seperate called stored procedures?
I am using MS ReEporting Services and I call a stored proc that creates a temp table and executes some summarization code - so the scenario is as follows:
1. I select the first MS REporting services from a menu item - which creates the Temp Table (within a stored procedure) and the report is displayed
2. Within option (1) (MSRE - I have defined a navigation link to call another report - which uses a stored procedure) which I would like to access the temp table created in step 1.I know that #Temp_Table will only be available for step 1 and I have tried to use##Temp_Table which should be available for my session - which maybe I am not understanding correctly in that I thought a ##Temp_Table would be available for my session until no other T-Sql scripts are trying to access or I sign off!I don't really want to create a table and have it "hang around" until someone selects the menu option again to select the program again which then the T-Sql will then Drop the table.Any insight or help is sincerely appreciated!Best regards
Hi,
Previously I was performing the process of populating my DataMart and then processing my cubes via 2 separate job scheduled one after the other and with about 30 minutes idle time in-between (just in case).
I now have tried to make a single job with both of the above as 2 steps (one after the other) of a single job.
However when I was done, I did a right click and tried to run the newly created job but instead of what I was hoping (that the job would start, would perform the 1st step, followed by the 2nd), it instead popped up a dialog box asking (I think) which step needs to be executed :(
Is there a solution so that when the job is scheduled to run, it should start performing the steps in the order rather than waiting for someone to select which step to perform.
Will really appreciate urgent reply.
Hi.
I have set up my confirmation system to work as thus:
1) user registers
2) registration goes into a temp table with a code
3) user gets a MD5 code in his inbox
4) user clicks back
5) click-back page moves registration data from TEMP table to USER table and sends the user to the signin page.
6) ...
Now, my question is - how do I handle this final step in account
confirmation? Should the first signin act as a final confirmation of
the users account? This makes sense. Should the data in the USER table self-delete after a day if there has been no first sign-in? Should I have a column in the USER table to show if the first login has happened? How should I do this?
I am sure I could mess around with this but it would be great to
get feedback from somebody that has done this multiple times and has a sense of what the best practice is (based on large volume examples).
Your feedback is much apprecaited.
Thanks.
