Greetings,
I have an SSIS package that I need to modify. It was developed in Visual Studio 2005 and runs faithfully in production on SQL Server 2005. Suddenly, I can't open the package on my own workstation. I see a big red "X" image and a message stating "Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document." The real reason the document can't be loaded appears to be:
Error loading DataWarehouseLoader.dtsx: The connection type "OLEDB" specified for connection manager "Warehouse Logging OLE DB" is not recognized as a valid connection manager type. This error is returned when an attempt is made to create a connection manager for an unknown connection type. Check the spelling in the connection type name.
Does anyone know what causes this and what I can do? The package has been in production for 9 months and I've never seen this problem before.
Thanks,
BCB

I'm trying to use the SSIS Execute SQL Task to pull XML from a SQL 2005 database table. The SQL is of the following form:
SELECT
(
SELECT
MT.MessageId 'MessageId',
MT.MessageType 'MessageType',
FROM MessageTable MT
ORDER BY MT.messageid desc
FOR XML PATH('MessageStatus'), TYPE
)
FOR XML PATH('Report'), TYPE
For some reason I can only get this query to work if I use an ADO.NET connection type. If I try to use something like the OLEDB connection I get the following error:
<ROOT><?MSSQLError HResult="0x80004005" Source="Microsoft XML Extensions to SQL Server" Description="No description provided"?></ROOT>
Can anyone tell me why the SELECT ... FOR XML PATH... seems only to work with ADO.NET connections?
Thanks
Walter

I am thinking I must be doing something wrong..
I have dozens of packages that work as follows (high level... not listing all the steps just those relevant to this question)
- Get list of files in directory
- Join list to list of already imported files
- Those not imported put into an ADO.Net object
- Loop through ADO.Net record (which contains the filename) and import each file.
I just set the connection string of the flat file to be the variable in the loop (expressions.. connection string). Pretty standard stuff. Now I tried to do the same with a file connection (not a flat file) becuase I have a source that is from a mainframe and I had to write a custom source script and its not working. Basically the source script uses
oRead = oFile.OpenText(Me.Connections.FileConnection.ConnectionString)
And it opens the same file over and over (not ever changing as the ConnectionString expression changes like it does for flat files) and imports it even though I have verified the loop is correctly looping through all the different files.
Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?

I have a Rounding error: Between flat file connection manager Source & OLE DB Connection Destination (SQL Server 2005) in my Dataflow.
File looks like this lets call column names Col A,B,C,D
70410000 RD1 1223631.92 196042.42
70329000 ICD 11025.84 3353.88
71167300 COL 104270.59 24676.96
flat file connection manager settings: first row Column names then Advanced tab Col A float , Col B float , Col C string ,Col D float ,
OLE DB Connection Destination (SQL Server 2005)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PT_CUST_ABR](
[PARTY_NO] [float] NULL,
[PARTY_NAME] [varchar](75) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[TELECOMABR] [float] NULL,
[GENIABR] [float] NULL,
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 €œ70000893€?
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

Hello Experts,
I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle).
PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not..
What should go here ?
->Under Class A
public override DTSExecResult Execute(Connections connections, VariableDispenser variableDispenser, IDTSComponentEvents componentEvents, IDTSLogging log, object transaction)
{
//Some code to read file and write it into new file
return DTSExecResult.Success;
}
public const string Property_Task = "CustomErrorControl";
public const string Property_SourceConnection = "SourceConnection";
public void LoadFromXML(XmlElement node, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
if (node.Name != Property_Task)
{
throw new Exception(String.Format("Invalid task element '{0}' in LoadFromXML.", node.Name));
}
else
{
try
{
_sourceConnectionId = node.Attributes.GetNamedItem(Property_SourceConnection).Value;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "LoadFromXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
}
public void SaveToXML(XmlDocument doc, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
try
{
// // Create Task Element
XmlElement taskElement = doc.CreateElement("", Property_Task, "");
doc.AppendChild(taskElement);
// // Save source FileConnection
XmlAttribute sourcefileAttribute = doc.CreateAttribute(Property_SourceConnection);
sourcefileAttribute.Value = _sourceConnectionId;
taskElement.Attributes.Append(sourcefileAttribute);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "SaveXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
In UI Class there is OK Click event.
private void btnOK_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
_taskHost.Properties[CustomErrorControl.Property_SourceConnection].SetValue(_taskHost, propertyGrid1.Text);
btnOK.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
#endregion

I have a task that uses an Excel connection manager to read in an Excel file. In the file there are 6 date columns. The date columns can have either a date or the letters NA. If I look at the External Column properties from the advanced tab, 4 of the date columns have a datatype of DT_DATE. The other 2 date columns have a datatype of DT_WSTR. The 4 columns with DT_DATE, my data looks okay as when it is read by the connection manager. The issue is that the 2 columns that are DT_WSTR, all dates are turned into NULLS, while the NA's are just fine. I have tried to change the datatypes in the advanced tab to DT_DATE, but it won't work.
I don't have any idea what to do to get this working correctly. Can anyone PLEASE provide some insight and suggestions or a solution?

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?
CODE BEHIND
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClientPartial Class admin_Add_Images
Inherits System.Web.UI.PageProtected Sub UploadImage(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As SqlDataSourceStatusEventArgs)
Dim LocationId As String = Request.QueryString(ID)
' create a new SqlConnectionDim NewConn As New SqlConnection
NewConn = New SqlConnection("server=desktopsqlexpress;uid=xxxxxx;pwd=xxxxxxx;database=MYLOCDEV") 'OleDbConnection i
' open the connection
NewConn.Open()Dim MyInsert = New SqlCommand("INSERT into image([LocationID]) VALUES (@LocationID); SET @NewId = Scope_Identity()")
NewConn.Close()
If Not File1.PostedFile Is Nothing And File1.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0 Then
'RENAME THE FILEDim newid As Integer = e.Command.Parameters("@NewId").Value
Dim fn As String = (LocationId & "_" & newid & ".jpg")Dim SaveLocation As String = Server.MapPath("oicImages") & "" & fn
Try
File1.PostedFile.SaveAs(SaveLocation)Response.Write("The file has been uploaded.")
Catch Exc As ExceptionResponse.Write("Error: " & Exc.Message)
End Try
ElseResponse.Write("Please select a file to upload.")
End If
End SubProtected Sub Submit1_Click(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Submit1.Click

Hi,
I have a flat file, comma-delimited, with strings in double-quotes.
In the connection manager for the file, I have specified that the Text Qualifier = ""
However, in the preview tab, it still shows the strings as surrounded by the quotes, e.g. "mycol1" whereas it should show mycol1 without the quotes.
Next, when I examine the data in the database after the load, it's messed up there also.
"mycol1" ends up in the database as "mycol1
"mycol2" ends up as "mycol2
This is not right.
I have format set to delimited, header row delimiter crlf, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a package A which is copied from another existing package B as most of the data structure and ETL mappings are same.
What I need to change in Package A is to change the file in Flat File Connection Manager. I can change it in the conneciton manager editor. However, it is automatically changed back to the previous one everytime when I try to Save All or run the package.
I also tried to copy/paste this Flat File Connection Manager in the same package but samething happen. The package file is not set 'Read Only" so anything else can Saved well except for the File name in connection manager.
Is this a bug? It would be very appreciated if anyone can give me any idea about this.
Thanks,
Jenny

Hi,
I'm attempting to use a variable to define the file name in my flat file connection (for error files in my SSIS package).
I have it defined as follows:
@[User::ValidRootFolder]ConditionConditionSourceError.csv
However it throws an error 'the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect'.
If I put the value of the variable in explicitly it works, so I know my variable name is correct - am I just not calling the variable properly?
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
I haven't been able to successfully use the ADO.NET connection type to use both input and output parameters in an execute sql task containing just tsql statements (no stored procedure calls). I have successfully used input parameters on their own but when i combine it with output parameters it fails on the simplest of tasks.
I would really find it beneficial if you could use the flexibility of an ADO.NET connection type as the parameter marker and parameter name can be referenced anywhere throughout the sql statement in no particular order. The addition of an output parameter would really make it great!!
Thanks

Is there any real purpose to the File Connection Manager? Not the Flat File Connection Manager, just the plain old File Connection Manager.
I have one in my SSIS package because I thought it might make writing to a file easier. But from what I can tell, it doesn't really do much. I have to pull the file name from the connection manager and basically open and manage the file myself in my scripts.
I went this route because I have two scripts that write to the file in turn... one writing out parent records and the other inserting the child records after each parent.
The script looks like this:
Code Block
Dim outFile As String
outFile = Dts.Connections("TestFile.LDIF").AcquireConnection(Dts.Transaction).ToString()
Dim sw As New StreamWriter(outFile, True)
sw.WriteLine()
sw.WriteLine("dn: " & Dts.Variables("GroupID").Value.ToString())
sw.WriteLine("changeType: add")
sw.Close()
I have to close the connection every time because the other script uses the file. It seems that this is quite inefficient. Am I using the File Connection Manager incorrectly? What's a more appropriate way to do this?
I could open the file in a different script and store the StreamWriter object in a global variable, I suppose...
Thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I am not sure this is the right place to post this, but I could find a better place.
I uploaded a document in the SQL Server (image datatype), but I was not able to save file Type since there is no field for that, and cannot change the database.
Now I download the saved file. Is there any way to extract file Type from the saved file (like from file header?) and open it with an appropriate program such as doc file with MS Word?
Thanks,

I have some data that I am outputting to a text file:
sum(sales)
where sales is datatype money. If I execute the query with query analyzer I get 4 decimals, but when it is output to a text file it rounds the number
Grid Text File
2182035.9600 2182035.96
961799.2400 961799.24
22104768.1850 22104768.185
If I do cast or convert it to money it does the same thing.
It really doesn't make a material difference for its intended use but I would like to keep it consistent with 4 decimals.

I am currently working on project where I need to insert, delete and update data from a text file I receive into multiple tables. So the file has multiple recordset types(50 to be exact) and each record has a a code to perform an -Update, Insert, or Delete to the destination table. Also when I receive the records they are not sorted. I need to sort the sets for each destination table and then read the the sorted set sequentially and perform the correct action.
Currently I am importing the record via flatfilesource into one column. I am using a script component here that would consist I guess 50 outputs including the fields needed for each table. The outputs are sorted by sortkey field and when I add the record to the output I perform data type transforms needed for each field(most are strings but I need to convert some dates, numbers ect..).
***is there a better way of accomplishing this?***
(ps. I could use the conditional split and the derive column into the 50 different table but it was giving me errors that were almost forcing me to use a nvarchar type instead of a varchar type during some of the field transformations.)
At this point I would need to read through each of the outputs sequentially and perform the update, insert or delete into the needed table. Would I have to create 50 script components with an ADO.net recordset adapter to update the tables for each of the outputs? I am hoping you can help come up with a better way to accomplish all of this.
Also if I do need to update the tables with the script component could someone point me to an example of how to programmatically accomplish that. Thanks for any help of suggestions that you may provide as I am feeling kind of stuck.

Hi,
I am testing SSIS and have created a Flat File Destination. I defined the Flat File Connection as New for the first time and it worked fine. Now, I would like to go back and modify the Flat File Connection in the Flat File Destination Editor, but it allows only to create a New connection rather allowing me to edit the existing one. For testing, I can go back and create a new connection, but if my connection had 50-100 columns then it would be an issue to re-create it from scratch.
Did someone else faced this issue?
Thanks,
AQ

Hi, I have a script written in ASP to load data file (.csv) to ms sql. In the script, I have a portion of script looks like taht :
.....
Do While NOT oInFile.AtEndOfStream oOutFile.WriteLine Replace(oInFile.Readline, chr(13), vbcrlf)Loop
.....
After that, I will use a BULK INSERT to input data to ms sql.
I am wondering how do I convert each row (data) to vbcrlf in Stored Procedure? Coz' I did not compose the convertion part, and I got no error when running BULK INSERT, but no rows are inserted :( HELP!!!!
I guess it's because the file is not being converted into a correct format??

It seems I can do the type conversion in two place:
1. The advanced editor for flat file source => Input and output roperties. And I can set the output columns data type properties there.
2. Using a Data conversion box in Data flow transformation.
Any difference between these two? Which one should be used?
