Is there any way to print variables more than 255 from ISQL on DOS
eg:-
DECALRE @Var1 (255)
DECALRE @Var2 (255)
SELECT @Var1 = 'a long line of 255 chars' -- a long line of 255 chars
SELECT @Var2 = 'a long line of 255 chars' -- a long line of 255 chars
-- I wish to print
PRINT @Var1+@Var2 -- that is 510 chars
-- (i dont wish to use SELECT @Var1+@Var2)
any body???
thanks in advance

Hi everyone,
I'd like to change in order to improve the maintenance of our packages.
I've got lots of packages running with values such as "path" and "filename" inside variables.
Let me know how can I set xml file for that.
Thanks a lot,
Similar to a previous thread, but not exactly. I have a batch file that takes
two date parameters. I have a SQL script that gets the values I want and assigns
them to variables, but I don`t know how to pass these to the batch.
I`m thinking of something like:
declare @myvar1 datetime, @myvar2 datetime
select @myvar1 = <some date value>
select @myvar2 = <some date value>
exec xp_cmdshell "c:mssqlscriptsMYBATCH.BAT" @myvar1 @myvar2
This just errors out when it reaches the variables in the last line. If I move
the variables inside the quotes, it passes them as literal text strings, not as
the assigned datetime values.
Any ideas? Is this possible?
Thanks,
Robert
I have a 'file system task' moving files from one server to another for processing. I have defined the path and filename as separate variables. When I attempt to pass them together into the task I receive an error.
Source Path & Filename:
@[User:: DataSourceFolder]+"\"+ @[User::CD_PaidClaimSource]
Outputs:
\umrdwh2FTPCLAIMDAILY.DATA
Destination Path Now: (Filename not specified per another thread.)
@[User::WorkingFolder]
Original Destination Path: (Which did not work.)
@[User::WorkingFolder]+"\"+ @[User::CD_PaidClaimSource]
I receive validation errors:
Error 1 Validation error. CLAIMDAILY Move : Failed to lock variable "\umrdwh2FTPCLAIMDAILY.DATA" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found. This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.". ClaimLoading_MASTER.dtsx 0 0
How do I overcome this without hard coding the path in the task?
when using a raw file destination it would be nice to be able to use an environment variable for the filename property.
like
%my_extract%data.txt
instead of
c:my_extractdata.txt
[Microsoft follow-up]
In the Raw File Source component when I set AccessMode='File name from variable' and select the drop down for 'FileNameVariable' property the first thing I see is all the system variables. What's the point in displaying those? They are completely useless in this context. Would it really have been that hard to remove them?
Can this be changed please?

I'm reading a Flat File.
The 1ste record containts special Info that is needed for first preparing the database on a buld insert of the remaining lines.
How could i realize this, just read 1 line, store some of that data into variables, execute some proc's and then read the rest of the file ?
Kind Regards.
Hello,
We have an existing OLD System in SQL Server 2000 DTS Packages.
The Whole application runs on DTS.
There are several Packages which are called from a Master Package. Each Child packages have their own Global Variables. Most of them are the File Location variables to have the Source Location of the Input Data, mainly from the Excel Files.
Now, even if the Global Variables are there to change whenever they want to change the Locations of the Files, they have to goto each child package and change the variable themselves.
To resolve this issue, they want a configuration File (INI) / Table which would store those Variables. My thought is to read from that File/Table and Update all the packages' global variables through an ActiveX Script as the First Step of the Master package. That would eliminate the need of changing anything in the existing System.
But the Problem is the management (PM / DBAs / Team members) have different views to store the Configuration data.
1. Some wants it into a Different Database, having one table for this application so in future they can also add another table for some other application.
2. Some wants to store it in a Table in the Same Database of this Application.
3. Some wants to save it as a INI file.
As i'm the one who's going to really implement it, they have asked me to research for a best solution out there.
so I request to help me to decide which is a good solution and why.
Best Regards,
Deepak
I have a requirement to create many SSIS packages and no datatransform is required so the BCP task looks a good contender providing it can do both import & export
is it possible to parse the values in bold as package variables into the BCP task. If so how?
BULK INSERT ipcs_wvg.dbo.extract
FROM 'D:IPCSextract.csv'
WITH (FORMATFILE = 'D:ipcsqueryextract.xml');
Thanks in advance

I have a global database called ETL Configuration for all my SSIS packages that uses a single table. So I can create three global variables
USE [ETLConfiguration]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SSIS Configurations](
[ConfigurationFilter] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[ConfiguredValue] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL,
[PackagePath] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[ConfiguredValueType] [nvarchar](20) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
Here is the data I would put in here
ConfigurationFilter = 'MySSISPackageName'
ConfiguredValue = 'D:IPCSextract.csv'
PackagePath = 'Package.Variables[User::gsFileName].Properties[Value]'
ConfiguredValueType = 'String'
ConfigurationFilter = 'MySSISPackageName'
ConfiguredValue = 'D:ipcsqueryextract.xml'
PackagePath = 'Package.Variables[User::gsFormatFile].Properties[Value]'
ConfiguredValueType = 'String'
ConfigurationFilter = 'MySSISPackageName'
ConfiguredValue = 'ipcs_wvg.dbo.extract'
PackagePath = 'Package.Variables[User::gsTableName].Properties[Value]'
ConfiguredValueType = 'String'
--Database connection info
ConfigurationFilter = 'MySSISPackageName'
ConfiguredValue = '.mssql2005'
PackagePath = 'Package.Connections[MyDatabaseName].Properties[ServerName]'
ConfiguredValueType = 'String'
ConfigurationFilter = 'MySSISPackageName'
ConfiguredValue = 'MyDatabaseName'
PackagePath = 'Package.Connections[MyDatabaseName].Properties[InitialCatalog]'
ConfiguredValueType = 'String'
I have looked at lots of options to automaticly create SSIS packages and have a hunch that that simple can be better: All these solutions look way to complex to what I want to achieve--

I've deployed my ssis pkg to the server and created a sql job to run this pkg. So far, everything is fine. Today, I got a request to change some variables inside the package which is part of the .dtsconfig. I want to edit the deployed .dtsConfig but it won't allow me and always complained that this file has been opened by another program. I am sure i've closed my ssis designer and other notpad, why can't I edit and save .dtsconfig file?

There is not much current activity out there.
Do you have any ideas how can I fix it?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi Everybody,
Our branch office in Europe has sent full 'backup' file of capacity 25GB.
I have to restore this backup to our database. Their database is 'Candidate'
and our database is 'client'. Both these databases have different logical
names and physical names.
The following Batch script only I hv executed,
RESTORE DATABASE Client
FROM DISK = 'd:dumppaw01dump.bak'
WITH MOVE 'candidatedata' TO 'e:mssqldataclient_data.mdf',
MOVE 'candidatelog' TO 'd:mssqllogclient_log.ldf',
REPLACE
Can anybody tell me, what I have executed above is correct or not. Now
restoration is going on for more than an hr. Still it is going on. Is there
any other way to restore this backup set very fastly.
Our server has got very good hardware setup. Good amount of hard disk space.
4GB RAM Memory. Running 4 processors. No other service is running apart from
SQL Server. Right now nobody is accessing the server.
How long it will take to restore this backupset?. This is urgent please.
Any help would be appreciated.
tks in advance,

Hi,
We have to copy data from files from Novell system to Sql sever 2000. I use DTS for that. The problem is that Novell system files(the way they are extracted) has end of file character. Because of this the DTS package fails. But if we open the file, get rid of the end of file character (looks like square in wordpad), the package runs fine.
Is there any way to make DTS identify this character as end of file and ignore it? We have hundreds of files to move on regular basis and some of the files are large (> 10 MB) so that we cannot open it or see it.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Hi,
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.

Other than using the -o parameter of ISQL, is there any way to mimic the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_FILE capability that exists in ORACLE (also set serveroutput xxx). I have a big need to run both queries and stored procedures and have the output placed in a flat file. This flat file will then be edited and loaded into another SQLServer 7.0 table. Basically,
SP or SQL stmt -> output to flat file -> external manipulation -> SQL table
Thanks in advance.
