Trouble With DTS Package.. SQLServ-&>Excel
Jan 12, 2004
I've got a slight problem, and a few questions.
Problem: When making my DTS package dump from a SQL Server 2000 table to an Excel file, it keeps appending data. Unfortunately, deleting from the Excel file doesn't seem to work.. in a manual export, I tried the option to delete current table..and I got the error "Deleting data in a linked table is not supported by this ISAM." Creating a DTS package and adding a truncate task that does "delete * from my_table" generates the same error.
How do I wipe out the Excel file before dumping to it again?
Also, I need the ability to dump to a few different sheets within one Excel file, AND use formulas as well. Are there any helpful web sites that document how to do this using DTS?
Thanks!

With SQL Server 2005, I have the problem that sqlserv.exe keeps using more and more memory. Now I did some research and found the following anwers in different places:
*It seems to be the way that SQL Server works. It just uses all the memory which it can get. I have two remarks about this:
1) I that is true, then why is a fresh installation of SQL Server not consuming all the memory it can get?
2) After a few weeks, it consumes so much memory that the whole system (even SQL Server itself) start running very slow. I don't think that's the intended behavior?
So I thought about restricting the maximum memory that SQL Server uses, but people keep saying that's not the way it should be done: SQL Server should be allowed to allocate memory dynamically.
Can anyone help me with my questions?
One other thing that may be of relevance: This instance is a disitributor for replication and the distribution.MDF file also seems to be increasing over time. It became much larger than the application database.
Thanks in advance for replies

Hi,
I'm hoping that some might have an answer for me after much net searching.
I have a server (200GB disk space, Dual 3.8 GHZ processors, 4GB memory) that hosts 6, very small, SharePoint sites (WSS 2.0) and SQL 2005 express handling 1 config DB and 7 content DB's.
The biggest DB at the moment is only 300 MB and the sites are not actively being used yet, they are only open to a select number of users (+ - 25 in total) who are using them as reference "areas" at the moment. Each site is running in it's own application pool as well.
I find that the sqlserv.exe process increases in memory usage and does not seem to decrease. It gets to the point of 960 MB usage and then databases cannot be used (SQL 2005 Express max memory is 1GB). SQL seems to "close" them down and site errors being received are "site is not in configuration database". When the SQL service is restarted the memory usage idles around 70 - 80 MB, the sites are 100% again but after an hour or 2 the memory usage is sitting at 560 MB again and doesn't seem to decrease.
Is there a way I can bring this memory usage down?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hello All,
I am attempting to port a database from one server to another, I am using the DTS wizard to so this, the Db copies over to the other server but it drops the views, usernames, stored procs etc. Is there another way to do this? possibly with T-SQL? Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

I have created a package which reads Informix data & puts it into Sql Server
I get these warnings when I do the build:
Warning 2 Validation warning. load tm ty depts: OLE DB Source [1]: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used. load_daily_sls.dtsx 0 0
but when I run it in development, all of the tasks complete
I am trying to deploy the package
I set CreateDeploymentUtility to true. When I do the build, I get no errors but I also get nothing in bindeployment or anyplace that I can see
It is not doing anything because of the warnings or something else? Exactly where is bin?
Thanks

Hello
I'm having trouble setting different variables in my configurationfile.
I've a "Send Mail Task" and apparantly I cannot change subject, if subject contains other variables
For instance. "User-defined Search Result: Succes - Order no.: " + (DT_WSTR, 10)@[OrderExtract::order_id]
If I look in the .dtsConfig it shows: User-defined Search Result: Succes - Order no.: 0 , and even when I try to change User-defined til Userssss-defined it has no effect.
Am I doing something wrong?
Kind regards
Janus, DK

i have an SSIS package that exports to an excel file. This works fine. the problem is that it appends the data instead of overwriting the file. Is there any way to overwrite the file like you can with a flat file? I have to email the file everyweek and don't want to have to clear it out manually. Any help would be appreciated

Hello,
I've created a test application in windows ( vb.net ). When executing this app with the DTS package it seems to work fine ( by right clicking on the package and selecting “Execute Package” ). It finishes successfully and does what it supposed to. But when I try to schedule the package with the SQL Server Enterprise Manager in Management > SQL Server Agent > Jobs it Fails every time. I schedule it by right clicking on the package and selecting the “Schedule Package” option. Does any one have an idea why the schedule keeps on failing? Thanks in advance.

Hello-
I'm trying to deploy a SSIS package and am having issues getting it to execute from a SQL Agent job. I've read this article http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918760 over and over and although it's helpful I must still be missing something.
The SSIS package uses a configuration file for connection string information and the ProtectionLevel is set to DontSaveSensitive. I'm using a proxy account with the appropriate permissions. I can execute the package from SQL Management Studio and from dtexec.exe just fine. I even copied the command line out of the job and used that to execute it with dtexec.exe and it worked.
I'm not sure what to try next. It's like it's not even getting to the SSIS package. I have logging turned on in the package and I"m not getting back any errors from it. Any ideas? One thing that I think is strange is that the job is running on an instance of SQL but Integration Services doesn't seem to support instances. Could that be the issue?
I don't know what else to try at this point...any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hello,
Hopefully someone can help. I am not new to SQL Server, but am new to SSIS packages. As one step of my package I need to open and run a windows application. No problem there right? But, my problem is that I cannot get the "focus" returned back to the SSIS package. It doesnt move on to the next step until I close the windows application. It is like the package is the parent object waiting for a "finished" message from the child object, and it doesn't receive that message until the child object is closed. I've tried using a batch file to run the app and calling the batch file from an Execute Process Task, but that doesn't move onto the next step until the dos command prompt window closes and I can find a way to automatically close it from XP. I also can't find a way to kick off this windows app from a script task using command line. Not sure if I would run into the same problem going that route or not. If anyone can help, i would appreciate it.
Thanks

I am trying to create a DTS Package which will run a SQL query and export the results to an Excel file. I would like to the name of the excel to be "dynamic". What I would like is for the name to be ChronicDownSiteReport - mmddyy.xls. The mmddyy is the date which the package is executed.
How can I do this?
Also, I want this package to be excuted at 1am every Sunday Morning. I have attempted to schedule this to run, but when I come to work on Monday, the excel file is not present and the email, which is sent telling me that the file was created is not in my mailbox.

Hi Guys,
SQL Server 2000
I've run out of ideas on what to do with a DTS process that has suddenly started giving an error when one company is processed on it.
Here's the deal:
DTS package launches a complex set of stored procedures (built entirely without error handling) as a step in importing data from various customers. I have isolated the error to one segment where I have to cursor through records that have been identified as having changes. Unfortunately, this cursor is updating about 15 system tables and uses modular stored procedures, about 12 of them, to do the job.
Error: The classic Subquery returned more than one value.
Oddity: If I run the code in Query Analyzer I never get an error, the code finishes without complaints. If I run the exact same code via the DTS package I always get the error. Note that the cursor appears to process every row assigned to it and then the sproc throws the error.
What I've Tried:
1) The obvious, reviewing the code for any unprotected subqueries. Haven't found it.
2) Checking for @@Error = 1 at key points in the code to try to isolate where this is happening. Can't catch it.
Note that this same process is used for several other company's data import process and they do not error even when running the DTS package. Therefore I'm assuming it is a data issue with the one company that errors that is causing the problem.
Any suggestions on what to try next would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I need to get the output of a SSIS package in an Excel.
I have made a Stored Procedure for getting the output, since the output has variable number of columns hence i have made a table through the stored procedure which is dynamically created when the procedure is executed.
Now i have a table in SQL with the output data.
Any pointers, how to put it into an excel??

Hi,
I have a created a DTS packges which is reading data from sql server table, manipulate this data as required and then create a text file with that data. I created the text file using FileSystemObject. I was writing one field at a time to the text file.
I need to same thing but instead of creating text file, I need to create a excel file with each column from database going to separate column in excel sheet. I tried to do this with FileSystemObject, but it was wrting all the columns from database to one cell in excel sheet. How can I fix this problem?

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.

I have a DTS package that needs to refresh data in 3 separate Excelspreadsheets on a daily basis. The problem is that unless I manuallydelete the previous day's data, it appends rather than replaces.I can't delete the excel files on a daily basis, as they have to bethere for the DTS package to be able to export to Excel. What I wantto do is create a VBScript (ActiveX Control) to delete all the rows ofdata except the first row within each spreadsheet as the first step ofthe DTS package. Then the remaining steps would run and thespreadsheets would only have the current day's data at the end of theprocess.Thanks for any help offered.

I currently have a export that takes data from my SQL Server 2005 DB and exports it into Excel. This process works correctly. My excel template has the first row headers and the data is dumped in the row after the header. I would like to know if it is possible for me to add borders around my data without doing it within the template? I don't know how much data is going to be exported so I can't put borders within the template. I put borders around the headers to see if it will copy the formatting down to the data and it didn't. Thank You for any help.

Hi Everyone:
Is it possible to create a package through the SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio, and then execute that package through an Excel file (by calling the package through VBA?).
I need some advice on the ways I can execute the package other than via command line utilities. Can you use Visual Basic 6.0? .NET?
Please advise,
Jason

Hello everybody...
I have a very simple SSIS package that loop throught the worksheets of an Excel file and insert the data into a SQL server 2005 table.
The SSIS is very simple and works fine the problem is that after the Package executes if I double click on the Excel file imported I have the message that the file is in use.
I think that the Excel connection manager of the package doesn't release the Excel resourse but this is only a guess..
Do am I right? If yes how can I release the resource?
Thank you very much
Marina!

The package runs locally, and can be executed successfully after it is migrated to the server, but both of these processes use local memory space (I think). When I try to run the package via a job, it fails with the following error:

I've put together a SSIS package that, once a user uploads an Excel spreadsheet from a webpage, grabs it, does a mess of calculations and spits it out into a datareader (this last part is tricky, but I haven't even gotten to this point yet). In BIDS, the package works fine. Run using the 32-bit version of dtexec, it runs fine. But when I try to call it from the page, I keep getting an error. The errors look familiar enough that I'm thinking it's due to the package trying to run 64-bit, and that not playing nicely with Excel. If that's true, is there an easy way to force the 32-but version to be used? I've already set the project properties to Run64BitRuntime = false, which I'd hoped would help. but no luck.
Here's the code I'm using:
Code Snippet
string pkg = @"pathpackage.dtsx";
Application app = new Application();
Package p = app.LoadPackage(p, null);
Variable varFileName = p.Variables["strExcelFileName"];
varFileName.Vaue = strFileName;
Variable varFilePath = p.Variables["strExcelFilePath"];
varFilePath.Value = strFilePath;
DTSExecResult dte = p.Execute();
Error handling
p.Dispose();
And it kicks out the following:
