Using Variables Of Connection Manager, Connectionstring
Jun 12, 2006
Hello,
I'll spare everyone my diatribe about MS and Booksonline...
I considered myself pretty good at Server 2000 DTS. It certainly has it's shortcomings, but there are a couple books on the market that helped a lot.
I'm now trying to learn Integration Services, and not getting very far. There are two books out so far. one is poor, the other worthless.
What I want to do seems very simple. That is to loop through a series of .txt files, and extract the information into a three table database. So far, I'm unable to figure out how to use a variable in the ConnectionString property of a connection manager. I see how to use variables in scripts (I should hope so) but using the same syntax in properties either errors at design time or run time.
Do I have to do everything in VB just as in DTS? Or do the new objects really work in a usuable fashion?
Color me frustrated. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Roger

I have a package that I plan to run against about 700 databases to look for anomalies. I have several package variables in place that are passed in at runtime. One of them will hold the path and filename of the error log for the current database in process. I want each database to generate it's own error log for documentation and research purposes. However, when I run the package, it continues to use the path and filename that I entered when I created the File Connection Manager. I am trying to update that value in a Script Task by using the ConnectionManager class and setting the value for the "ConnectionString" property. This method is working for the OLEDB Connection Manager (which tells the package which Access database to process), but not for my File Connection Manager. Please help!

At one point in my package I call a simple web service that kicks off a process on a remote server using a Web Service Task . I need to be able to point the task at a test instance while I'm testing and a different one when it goes to production. The simple answer (you'd hope anyway) is to just store the ConnectionString for the HTTP Connection Manger in Package Configurations for TEST and PROD. I did this and when the package runs, the connection manager's connectionstring does get changed, but the web service task doesn't use this value. It uses the value defined in the WSDL file which in my case contains the URL for the TEST instance.
Am I missing something obvious? Do I really have to get the WSDLs from PROD and TEST and deploy both of them to the appropriate environment? What does the ConnectionString in the HTTP Connection Manager actually do then?
Thanks for any insight you might have.

I have no issues connecting OLE DB manager with variables (basically i am passing source and destination) but i have issues to connect SMO Connection Manager
I tried to pass the variable into SqlServerName on SMO connectin properties..no luck... tried on control flow item (Transfer SQL server Objects Task) with sourceconnection and Soruce db .. no luck.
I am trying to transfer objects from one server to another server but I'll pass source and destination server names dynamically thru variables..
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
As I was developing my SSIS package, I created several variables and tasks ( FTP, WMI Reader Task ). I am now cleaning up, deleting unwanted variables and connections in the design window. I save and build the package and when I load the package, I get warnings that these variables are referenced but can't find them and errors that the WMI connection is not found.
When a package calls a sub-package, it stores the absolute path of the child package in its dtsx xml file in a Connection String property. How annoying !!! . When I deploy this to another machine with a different file structure, it becomes a problem. Why can't it store the path relative to the parent package, which would be typically in a sub-directory under the parent ?
These last 2 days have been nothing but frustration and my deadline is slipping. Any help is appreciated.
Thx,
-chiraj.

I have deployed my packages into Sql Server and I am using Configuration File. As my Data Source is Excel, I have changed the connection string during deployment with Server Path. But I am getting the following errors. Actually the File Exist in Path. May I know What is cause of the issue? Do I need to give any permission to execute the package.

There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.

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 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.
Thanks,

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.

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?

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

This is the first time I have used SSIS, so please bear with the ignorance.
I have a super simple package that inserts x000's of rows into a temporary table. The data source is a file that the user will upload. I need to be able to tell the package what file to upload. I'm thinking the simplest thing would be to edit the connectionString property of the SourceConnectionFlatFile at runtime. Is this possible? What form should the file path be in (UNC, other)? And, are there any other considerations I should be aware of?
Thanks!

I'm currently using:
Dts.Connections.Item("myADO.NET connection").AcquireConnection(Nothing)Dim conn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(Dts.Connections.Item("myADO.NET connection").ConnectionString)
conn.Open()
This seems silly, in that I'm not really using the same connection, but using the connection string of a connection that already exists. And, for my purposes, it's not working currently, because I've switched from Windows Authentication to SQL Auth... and the password isn't coming over in the ConnectionString property.How do I re-use the exact same ADO.NET connection I have in my connection manager in a script task? That's the recommended way to go, right?

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for some help, I have created a simple SSIS package that takes the contents of a view on the Server and outputs it to a delimited flat file. This flat file is moved from its location on the server to our file print server. This package uses a config file that contains the necessary passwords. When run in the visual studio it runs without error.
However when run in a SQL Server Agent Job it fails on this step -
Code: 0xC020801C Source: Data Flow Task GET DATA FROM LIVE [1] Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "ServerName.DBName.SQLServerAuth" fail.
I have researched the error and I have found that it doenst have the necessary permissions, however I have another package doing the same thing using the same config file that runs with error on a SQL Job. I do not get why it would differ when the jobs are identical?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello
I know that the following is possible:
declare @x varbinary(128)
select @x = convert(varbinary(128), 'Some user name')
set context_info @x
Then in a trigger, you can say:
UPDATE tbl
SET who_was_kilroy = convert(varchar, p.context_info)
FROM inserted i
JOIN tbl t ON i.keycol = t.keycol
CROSS master.dbo.sysprocesses p
WHERE p.spid = @@spid
I am searching for a more generic way (varbinary 128 is not big enough) to store and access connection wide variables
Any ideas?
Regards

I am trying to set the connection string in a connection manager at runtime. Here is what I have done:
1. Created a gv_DataSource, gv_Username and gv_Password
2. Created a ForEach Loop that reads DataSource, Username and password values from a variable (it is an For Each ADO loop Enumerator). The ADO recordset is read into by an Execute SQL task before the loop.
3. Mapped values from the recordset to variable in the ForEach loop's "Variable Mappings" page.
4. Used the variables in my Sybase OLEDB Connection Manager's "Expression" property, setting the "ConnectionString" property to:
"Data Source=" + @[User::gv_DataSource] + ";User ID=" + @[User::gv_Username] + " ;Password=" +
@[User::gv_Password] + ";Initial Catalog=blue;Provider=Sybase.ASEOLEDBProvider.2;Persist Security Info=True;"
5. I set the values in my database table for the connection-I set 2 connections for which I have Sybase OLEDB datasources setup.
When I run the package, I just get the first server's data twice, it doesn't set the second server's data during the second loop. I made sure the first one was working (i.e. the ConnectionString's property was being set by the data from the current variables) by setting the variables incorrectly in the variable properties page, and then running the package. So the first row of connection information is working, but the second loop around it doesn't seem to be working. I used a msgbox in a script task to show that the variables are mapping correctly in the loop, so it seems the second time around the connection information isn't taking from the variables.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Kayda

I am using a connection manager defined as a '.Net ProvidersSqlClient Data Provider'
I choose the .net form since it has the ability to return multiple result sets.
However, when I set the Advanced 'MultipleActiveResultsSets' to True and check OK,
it doesn't save the setting.
This setting is available under the 'All' window, when you add the Connection Manager.
Any clues as to why this feature isn't functional? Or is this a known bug?
I am piping this into a DataConversion Task
