Within a data flow I have a script component that I want to perform some data calls from. I want to execute SQL commands to connections already defined in the package's connection manager.
Is there a way to set my script's connection variable to the connection manager connection? Or, can I use the connection manager connections directly from within the script?
Hi all. Sorry about bothering you again but I have no choice, I'm afraid. This time I have to add a connection manager at runtime. I have a script that examines rows in a huuuuuuuuuuuuge file and it turns out that I will have to redirect different rows into 95 different text files. I would like to avoid the pain of creating the files and connection managers manually. I have a source script component that runs asynchronously (the only way basically it can run as a source) and I wonder whether this time, when I change the connction string on the manager at runtime inside the script, it would run properly. Can anybode tell me, please?

Dear all,
I'm seeing that SMTP Connection Manager connections aren't shared between .dtsx.
Why not?
Let me know
TIA
For some reason, when I try to delete old DB connections from the connection manager, it causes compilation errors because it is not removing the references from the meta data. I get Object ID errors where it is still trying to find the connection after it has been deleted. I have tried going to the code behind and searching then deleting the invalid reference, but that still does not work. I have a connection for 2 totally different databases that are no longer being used in the SSIS package and I would like to get rid of them.
Suggestions?
The standard flat file connection component does not handle flat files with different column counts on different rows. Since that's the type of file I have to read, I like to create a modified version of the flat file connection manager that can do this. I have found some info in how to create a connection manager. But I can't find anything that tels me how to build one that would be recognized by the flat file source dataflow component.
So how do you build an connection manager that can used by the standard flat file source component? Anyone ever did this or knows were to get the docs?
I know my problem is also solvable by reading the row into a single column and then using a script component to split them but that is not the solution I want.
I have written a script source component and attached a flat file connection. The connection string of which is defined by an expression.
However when I get the connectionstring from the connection in the script it has the default filename value of flat file not the value of the expression. This is proved by passing in the filename variable, and comparing the 2.
The flat file has an expression on the ConnectionString of @[User::filename]
Can someone confirm this is a bug.
In a Data Flow, I have the necessity to use a SSIS variable of type €œObject€? inside Script Component and assign to it the content of 'n' variables of string type.
On exiting from the script the variable of type object should contain something like in the following lines:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
On exiting from the data flow I will use the variable of type Object in a Script Task, by reading each element in a cyclic fashion.
Is there anyone who have experienced something like this? Could anyone provide any example of that?
Thanks in advance!
ConnectionManager manager = Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DtsConvert.GetWrapper(base.Connections.Connection);
IDTSConnectionManagerCache100 cache = manager.InnerObject as IDTSConnectionManagerCache100;
if (cache != null)
{
 System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Cache is found.");
}
and use
IDTSConnectionManagerCacheColumn100 id = connMgr.Columns["Id"]; get the column info.
but how do i get the cache connection content ?I want to look in the content in a script component code.Â
No idea where this bug crept in from. Have been using SSIS for 1.5 years now without hitting this problem.
I had a script component opening an XML document and parsing it using XPATH. I added some code that uses StreamReader / Streamwriter (closing one stream before starting the other). The code works without issue in my C# app.
And it ran without issue 2-3 times in SSIS. Then suddenly after running my package again, the script component says it completes successfully, yet nothing happens. I set a breakpoint on the first line of code - it never hits it. I add a msgbox as the first line of code - and it never displays.
I then close my package / exit out of ssis ... and then re-open it. When i open my script component, all of my code is GONE. All references that I added are gone.
I tried adding the streamreader/writer process to a dll I created from my c# app ... and added the DLL to the package -- same result.
I can reproduce this on 2 different computers.
Anyone experience this problem ? Any idea how to stop it ? Or debug it ?
Here is a slimmed down code sample of what causes the error :
Public Class ScriptMain
Public Sub Main()
Try
Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument
xmlDoc.Load("c:ulkasync_86281519_20070628045850225_4.xml")

Catch ex As Exception

End Try
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
Private Sub UpdateXML(ByVal fileName As String, ByVal message As String)
Try
Dim invalidChar As String = message.Trim().Substring(message.Trim().IndexOf("0x"), 4)
Dim rd As StreamReader = New StreamReader(fileName)
Dim xml As String = rd.ReadToEnd()

xdoc.Load(fileName)
Catch ex As Exception

Hi,
I am working on SQL Server 2005 (x64) with Windows Server 2003 (x64) operating system. I am having a major issue in SSIS. Here is the detailed explanation of the issue :
I have an EXCEL file in 2003 / 2007 version. It contains some data. I want to import the data using SSIS into SQL Server 2005 (x64) database table. I have taken "EXCEL FILE SOURCE" and "SQL Server DESTINATION". It was failed on importing data. Surprisingly it works fine in SQL Server 2005 (x32). Can you please explain why it is NOT woking on (x64) ?
Here is the error code i am getting:
[Excel Source [1]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
Appreciate your time and patience !!
Thanks
Hi,
I have a script component and under input columns, I checked one of the fields I want to use inside the script. It's under the Input 0 in the hierarchical tree inside the inputs and outputs.
How do i use this inside the script?

Hi,
I'm experiencing a problem I think I should not in my COM+ application. I will describe the setup first and then will expose the problem.
It's a simple COM+ application (dll). Inside it, there's a method to save an object A. Object A is persisted in a table in SQL Server 2000 that uses an identity field for the primary key. What this method does is the following:
1) Insert the record for Object A via ADO
2) Retrieve the Id for the object using SCOPE_IDENTITY via ADO and set it on the object
3) Execute an UPDATE statement based on a certain condition via ADO (this UPDATE statement will fire a trigger, however the trigger will not do anything since the record does not answer the criteria for the trigger)
4) Insert a record for another Object A via ADO
5) Retrieve the Id for the object using SCOPE_IDENTITY via ADO and set it on the object
When I get to step (5), an error is raised because SCOPE_IDENTITY returns NULL. This is as if it was returning the Identity value for the trigger that did not cause any INSERT on the UPDATE statement in (3). All the steps are performed using a single connection.
The trigger will duplicate the updated record in another table if a certain flag is set, so in my case, it was not set yet.
It's just weird that this would happen. If I delete the trigger, everything works fine. @@IDENTITY gives me the same problem. It's really as if the trigger was taking over or something and unless I put something between the two steps I get this error. There's one thing though. In step (3), I was using the adCmdText flag for the ADO statement. If I use adExecuteNoRecords it works fine. However I don't understand why it would be this way, I'm trying to understand why it's not working to begin with, even though the sequence of the steps performed should.
Any idea why this would happen?
Thanks,
Greg
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,

1.After creating pacakages what i am concerned about is that when i move then to different locations do they work just the same as the had been.
2.About the mapping with in the components like lookups,and the variable with in conditional split or etc....do they get disturbed with any change in the location of the textfiles or anything of this kind of location change.
3.Is is adviceable transforming 5 to 6 text file with in one package in parallel
Please let me know

Hi all,
I have a class that utilizes the ThreadPool together with a ManualResetEvent to queue up work items (in this case, FTP downloads) and then waits until all work items have completed before proceeding.
I then use this class inside a Script Component. However, I am getting a "remote procedure call failed" every single time the FTP component starts a download. This same class works perfectly in a WinForm app that I created as a test harness. Also, the synchronized version of the FTP download component works perfectly well from the Script Task -- it's only when I "wrap" the synchronous version in a threaded version that it fails.
Also, when the "remote procedure call failed" exception occurs, sqldumper.exe runs for a split second and creates a minidump. I, unfortunately, cannot inspect the dump because VS2k5 throws a native error when I try to "debug" the dump.
Is it possible to utilize multithreaded code inside SSIS? I noticed that SQL Server prohibits the use of threading as part of its hosting requirements (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172338.aspx) but I'm not sure how that would impact (if at all) the SSIS host.
Thanks,

Hello,
We have a strange problem occurring in an environment at a remote client that we're looking into. I was wondering if anybody else has experienced something similar.
We have a COM+ transactional component sitting on a machine that connects to a SQL server machine in the same room (ie no firewall between the two as far as I know, but I'll double check that to make sure).
This component was written in Delphi and uses ADO (sqloledb provider) to connect to the SQL Server. This works 99% of the time. However, there are times where we get the following error when trying to open connection (using the Connection ADO interface):
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (WrapperRead()).]General network error. Check your network documentation
or this:
Connection failure
The error codes associated with these were found in oledb.pas :(-2147467259) $8004D01C and (-2147168228) $80004005
When this happens, it seems to last a few seconds (usually around 10) and then everything comes back to normal. I'm just wondering what could make this happen when the SQL Server seems to be responsive when we try to connect to it using other means. The SQL machine runs Win2k3 sp2 for testing purposes.
Since we were not able to reproduce it yet, I wrote a little application trying to connect to a sql server when it is set on pause. When I run it inside a COM+ transaction, I get the same errors as above right away, the third time I'll get an error telling me that SQL is in pause state, If I run the exact same code but inside a simple vbs application (ie no COM+ transaction), I only get the pause error message sometimes after a few more seconds, and none of the other errors above. Could it be that the COM+ transaction is trying to do other things and these fail so it returns another error? If so, how come after a bit I get the proper message?
Anyways, I'm pretty lost as to why this is happening and how we can try to debug it since we have not been able to reproduce it yet. If anybody has any clues, please let me know.
Many thanks,
Greg
I have a requirement to access a lookup table from within an SSIS Transform Script Component
The aim is to eliminate error characters from within the firstname, lastname, address etc. fields by doing a lookup of an ASCII code reference table and making an InStr() type comparison.
I cannot find a way of opening the reference data set from withing the transform.

Hi,
How do I retrieve the connections (connection managers) collections from Custom Data Flow destination? ComponentMetadata.RuntimeConnectionCollection is empty. I would like to be able to access all the connections defined in the package from the custom data flow task.
I came across code in which it was possible to access the Connections collection using the IDtsConnectionService for custom task (destination). The custom task has access to serviceProvider, whcih can be used to get access to the IDtsConnectionService interface but not the custom data flow task.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

For some reason whenever I look at the SQL statement of a particular table, the table name displays twice.For example,SELECT * FROM State StateEven when I execute this statement, it still returns the correct results. It does this for all tables in this particular database. I also check another database and thoses display the table names in the SQL statements correctly. Does anyone know why the table name would display twice in a table inside of a particular database?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a package that uses a for loop to iterate through an unknown amount of excel files and pull their data into a table. However, there will be cases when the file is corrupted or has some sort of problem so that either the transformation will fail or the excel data source will fail with an oledb connection error.
Could anyone suggest a clean way to trap these errors? Specifically, the "Cannot Aquire Connection from Connection Manager", which is the excel connection.

Hi,
I'm having trouble with a Script Component in a data flow task. I have code that does a SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() call that throws an 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error. Thing is, the SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() call is already inside a Try..Catch block. Essentially I have two questions regarding this error:
a) Why doesn't my Catch block catch the exception?
b) I've made sure that my SqlCommand object and the SqlConnection property that it uses are properly instantiated, and the query is correct. Any ideas on why it is throwing that exception?
Hope someone could help.

I use SQL Server 2012 and visual studio 2010.I created SSIS Project with task "Execute Package". Control flow view as: Package1 (execute package) -> Package2 (data flow).Data flow in Package2 view as: ADO.NET source -> ADO.NET destination.
When I started Package2, it's work. I havn't errors.But when I started Package 1 I have error "Unable to get managed connection from the Connection Manager runtime". In execution log I see that ADO.NET source produced this error on verification stage. Package failed on verification stage, not on execution stage.Why when I started Package 2 it work, but when I started Package1 (and Package1 started Package2) it failed?
Hi All,
I am getting the following error if I am using the package "Transaction Option=Required" while running through Sql Job:
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "<connection name>" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
while I running the SSIS package on BI environment, I am getting the following error:
[Connection manager "<connection name>"] Error: The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D00A "Unable to enlist in the transaction.".
I know the alternative solution is to make the "Transaction Option=Supported", but in my case I have run the whole flow in a single transaction. I came to know that this has been fixed in the service pack1(ref. to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914375). FYI.. some time it was running successful.
I have taken all the necessary step to run the SSIS package in a distributed transaction(like the steps for MSDTC) and also created the package flow in a sequence.
I was going through the link - http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=160340&SiteID=1 but all those didn't solve my problem.
If anyone can help me it will be great. or it is a bug in SSIS?
Thanks.

hi all,
i got the error, when i run my package after deploy into the server machine;
i can able to run that package in my local machine, if i deploy it to the server or some remote machine, its not running, and rises error messages, that says cant accquire connection from the connection manager;
the problem might be with the login name and password; i could not see any password in any of my config file, or connection manager while running the package.
how to resolve this problem?? please help me!
I have a child package where the ConnectionString property of a Connection Manager is set by a Parent Package Variable Configuration. I set up a script task that brings up a message box with the value of the ConnectionString property right before the dataflow task.
MessageBox.Show(Dts.Connections["CPU_*"].ConnectionString.ToString());When I run the parent package, the message box shows that the connection string is changing with every iteration, but in the dataflow it always draws the data from the same source.
The connection manager is an ADO.Net type, RetainSameConnection is set to False, and I've been researching this for days.
(Update 2/23/2015): To make this stranger, when I look at the diagnostic logs, they tell me that when the new connections are being opened they are using the new connection strings.
Hello,
I've created a SSIS Solution and have created Data Sources. I have two packages. One was created before the Data Sources, and one was created after. The package that was created after is using connections from the Data Sources. I want to change the package before the Data Soruces were created to use them, but when I right click in the Connection Managers pane "New Connection From Data Source.." is not an option.
Did I not add it to the Solution properly?
How do I get it to show?
Did I not refresh something?
Please provide the how if you figure it out.
Thanks
