What Is The SSIS Transfer Task?
Aug 15, 2006
I have just been using the Import Data wizard in SSMS and when going through the wizard I checked the "Optimize for many tables" checkbox.
The resultant package contains a task called "Transfer Task". I've never heard of this before. Its not listed in the toolbox and its not documented in BOL.
It does some rather strange things as well.
From what I can determine it uses an XML manifest file (stored in c:documents and settings<user>Local settings emp) to construct a SSIS package on the fly which is then executed by an Execute Package Task.
Its SourceDB property is always "smo_Pubs". Its DestinationDB property is always "smo_Pubs_xfred"
There's no UI for it
All very peculiar.
What is it?
Where has it come from?
Did it arrive with SP1 or have I just never noticed it before?
Why is it preferable to a package with lots of data-flows?
Why is it not documented?
When should I use it/not use it?
Questions questions questions...
Thanks

I am using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
Any option anyone knows will help.
Thanks.

In short, does the €śTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? support distributed transactions?
In trying to use a €śTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? in a container using a transaction on the container. The task is set to support the transaction. It is setup to copy table data from several tables from a non-domain server (sql server 2000) to a domain-based server (sql server 2005). I get an error stating, €śThis task can not participate in a transaction€?.
I am wondering if it means exactly what it says €“ this task in SSIS can€™t participate at all. Or does it mean that it won€™t in this scenario for some reason. I attempted a simple copy of data from mssql 2005 to mssql 2005 (same server) and the task still failed). MSDTC appears to be running properly on my machine and such (I can do a simple distributed transaction across linked server to the 2000 server in Query Analyzer (QA)). Also, MSDTC appears to be working on both servers with distributed transaction query tests in QA.
Here€™s the error info€¦
SSIS package "Development BusinessContacts and Products Migration.dtsx" starting.
Information: 0x4001100A at Copy BusinessContacts Data: Starting distributed transaction for this container.
Error: 0xC002F319 at Copy BusinessContacts database table data 1, Transfer SQL Server Objects Task: This task can not participate in a transaction.

I set up a basic Transfer Database task (online, copy) to copy a DB. It works great except for the fact that it isn't transferring the PK's and FK's. It also looks like it did not transfer the views. Any idea why? Anything else the Transfer Database task doesn't actually transfer?

The error seems the same regardless if the destination DB exists or not!

I'm using a Business Intelligence project to copy stored procedures and tables from one database to another across servers. I'm having trouble copying tables or stored procedures using the Management.SMO.Transfer class.
I tried copying stored procedure with the property transfer.CopyAllStoredProcedures = true. This didn't work. As a workaround, I used the StringCollection property and executed every string as sql.
Now I'm having trouble copying tables. I don't want to copy all the tables in the database. How do I go about selecting what tables to copy. I tried using ObjectList property and provided the names of the tables in an ArrayList. I get the error
"Transfer cannot process System.String. You need to pass an instance class object."
How can I pass an "instance class object" for something that's in the database? The ScriptTransfer method fails so I can't even see the script that is being generated. There is virtually no documentation for this class.
Any help will be appreciated.
Transfer transfer = new Transfer();
transfer.Database = sourceDB;
transfer.DestinationDatabase = DestinationDatabase;
transfer.DestinationServer = DestinationServer;
transfer.DropDestinationObjectsFirst = false;
transfer.CopyData = true;
transfer.CopySchema = true;
transfer.CopyAllObjects = false;
transfer.CopyAllTables = false;
transfer.CopyAllStoredProcedures = false;
transfer.Options.WithDependencies = false;
GetTablesToBeCopied();
transfer.ObjectList = tablesList;
transfer.Options.FileName = "C:\TransferScriptTables.sql";
StringCollection coll = transfer.ScriptTransfer();

I am working on a project that is creating a new application, my area of the project being the migration of data from the old application database, transforming it, and populating the new database.
The transformations to the old data are done in a staging database.
At the end of the process, the staging database ends up with a lot of new applications tables, populated with the migrated legacy data.
We need to move these tables from the staging database to (initially) our test databases, but ultimately what will be the live database.
We have tried using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" in SSIS, but have ran into a problem that a lot of the database tables have default values for columns.
These default values are not brought over.
Example. Tables contain a "GUID" field, which has a default of value of newid()
Right clicking and the table generating the CREATE script generates
[GUID] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbCRM_Client_GUID] DEFAULT (newid()),
However, the Transfer objects task does not create this default of newid()
Examining the SQL generated by the Import / Export Wizard when investigating this shows that the wizard generates this column as
[GUID] uniqueidentifier NOT NULL
and the column default value is lost.
Is there something i should be setting somewhere to force SSIS to bring these column definitions over correctly?

I am trying to run a transfer database task in IS. The tasks fails saying that a defined role already exists in current database. This occurs if I try a destination overwrite to an existing database and even if the database is not currently allocated with destination overwrite = false.
Has anyone experienced these problems. I am just learning IS and have never experienced this type of problem with the old DTS version.

I am attempting to utilize the 'Transfer Database Task' to copy a SQL 2000 database to 2005.
I would like to set up the task as a job to run nightly and update the 2005 database from 2000.
I have the DestinationOverwrite set to true, the Action set to Copy, the Method is DatabaseOnline.
I receive the following message...
ERROR: errorCode=-1073548784 description=Executing the query CREATE ROLE[RSExecRole] failed with the following error: "User, group, or role 'RSExecRole' already exists in the current database..."
If I set overwrite to true...why is this an issue? Suggestions? Comments?

Hi, can you not use this task in Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer Version 9.00.3042.00? It keeps giving me an error when I try to copy a DB using this task. Says I cannot use this task in this edition of SSIS. Is there another way to copy a db so that I can schedule it to run or is there a SP I need to download for this to work? I'm using SQL Server Express as well.

hi,
I have created a SSIS package that does nothing more than loop through all DBs and copies the userDBs to another server. However, I keep getting an error after the task has created the database during its execution of "Create Role" statements. Here is the error:
Error: The Execute method on the task returned error code 0x80131500 (ERROR : errorCode=-1073548784 description=Executing the query "CREATE ROLE [aspnet_WebEvent_FullAccess] " failed with the following error: "User, group, or role 'aspnet_WebEvent_FullAccess' already exists in the current database.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly. helpFile= helpContext=0 idofInterfaceWithError={8BDFE893-E9D8-4D23-9739-DA807BCDC2AC}). The Execute method must succeed, and indicate the result using an "out" parameter.
Now it appears to me that the Transfer DB task keeps using master as the current database even after it has created the new DB? Why would it does this when at the source the database role is under the usersDB?
thanks,
Derek

Hello,
I am trying to copy a subset of tables, stored procedures, and views from one database to another database on a named instance of SQL Server 2005. I am attempting to use the Transfer SQL Server Objects task in Integration Services.
I am able to create both Source and Destination connections, and specify the objects I want to transfer. When I run the package, the task turns yellow while it's processing, then green when it completes.
At this point, no objects have been transferred to my destination database. No tables, no procs, no views, nothing. No error has been generated. No information is written to an SSIS log file, other than the fact that objects are being transferred, and then the package is finished.
Does this have something to do with the fact that I'm using a named instance of SQL Server 2005?
Thanks,
Ken

Hi all,
I am using SSIS Transfer SQL Server Objects Task to copy all the objects of a database to another without the data. The properties that i have set for this task is as:
DropObjectsFirst = True
IncludeExtendedProperties = True
CopyData = false
CopySchema = True
UseCollation =True
IncludeDependentObjects = True
CopyAllObject = False
CopyAllTables = True
CopyAllViews = True
CopyAllStoredProcedures = True
CopyAllUserDefinedFunctions = True
CopyAllDefaults = True
CopyAllUserDefinedDataTypes = True
CopyAllPartitionFunctions = True
CopyAllPartitionSchemes = True
CopyAllSchemas = True
CopyAllSqlAssemblies = True
CopyAllUserDefinedAggregates = True
CopyAllUserDefinedTypes = True
CopyAllXMLSchemaCollections = True
CopyIndexes = True
CopyTriggers = True
CopyFullTextIndexes = True
CopyPrimaryKeys = True
CopyForeignKeys = True
All the security options are set to false.
When I execute this task, it fails (with the errorCode=-1073548784) at a point where it tries to create a table which is inside a schema, because the script for creating the table is executed before creating the schema. So, if have a table [Person].[Employee], the script "Create Table [Person].[Employee]" gives an error
The specified schema name "Person" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.
It cannot be a permission related issue as am using the sa account to connect to both the source and the destination.
Hence, I conclude that the SSIS task here tries to copy the table first without creating the schema and so the excution fails.
Is this a bug in SSIS? or am missing anything? and what can be the workaround this?

Hi,
When i'm trying to transfer SQL Server Objects from a SQL Server 2000 Database to another i got the following error: [Transfer SQL Server Objects Task] Error: Table "bank" does not exist at the source.
This just appens in some spcific situations:
- When i select the tables i want to transfer, using the option "CopyAllTables" it works fine;
- When i use specific instance as source. Using the Development machine as source it works fine, when i use the machine from Pre-Production (the one i whant to use) it doesn't .
Can anyone tell me why does this appens!?

Hello everyone,
I am having a problem using the "Transfer Database Task" in SSIS. I want to copy (and overwrite) DestDB with SourceDB on one SQL Server, while SourceDB stays online.
So, I add the task to my control flow and go into the properties. Here's how I have the editor setup:
SourceConnection: MySQL2005Server
DestinationConnection: MySQL2005Server
DestinationDatabaseName: DestDB
DestinationDatabaseFiles: (I update all files to point to the correct destination folder)
DestinationOverwrite: True
Action: Copy
Method: DatabaseOnline
SourceDatabaseName: SourceDB
When I set these options and hit ok, I get validation errors. For every file in the source database, I get an error in the Transfer Database Task, 'Could not find the file "d:\SourceDB_XX" in the source database "SourceDB"'.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am getting this or of a way to fix it? Any reason why it puts 2 's in the file path?
Thanks in advance,
Jarret

Good Afternoon,
Does anybody know if the DTS Transfer Object Task transfers tables with IDENTITY INSERT enabled? I'm copying objects, along with their data to another database, but I need to retain the values in my IDENTITY columns. I will do some manual checking but this is fairly tedious and error prone.
I've checked the Books Online but I couldn't find anything that answers my question.

Hello all,
A little background... I have a 25GB database (called DevDB) that my co-workers use for SQL development. The data in this database isn't important and all I really need are the SQL objects. So instead of doing a database backup, which includes the data as well, I was planning on just copying the database objects to another database called DevObjects (on the same server) and backing it up instead. This is SQL 2005 SP2.
I've created an IS package and have 3 items...
1. Check for existance and drop DevObjects database. This is to eliminate the need for dropping the objects first. Successful.
2. Create a new database DevObjects. Successful.
3. Transfer SQL Server Objects Task. Fails.
My transfer objects task is setup like this:
The connections are to the same server, source db: DevDB, destination db: DevObjects.
DropObjectsFirst: False
IncludeExtendedProperties: True
CopyData: False
CopySchema: True
UseCollation: True
IncludeDependendObjects: True
CopyAllObjects: True
CopyDatabaseUsers: True
CopyDatabaseRoles: True
CopySqlServerLogins: False
CopyObjectLevelPermissions: True
CopyIndexes: True
CopyTriggers: True
CopyFullTextIndexes: True
CopyPrimaryKeys: True
CopyForeignKeys: True
GenerateScriptsInUnicode: True
I get an error trying to create a login that's not even in the database I am trying to copy the objects from. Since this is the same server, the login is already there.
Is there a way to not copy the server logins (so that CopyAllObjects works)?
Anyway, I got past that error by changing CopyAllObjects to False and setting all the subgroups to True. Now, I get an error creating one of the FK's, it seems that the PK it references isn't created first.
Is there a way to force creating the PK's before the FK's?
If I set CopyForeignKeys to False, then it completes successfully, but I need the FK's to be transferred as well. Any ideas?
Does anyone have a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Thanks in advance.

SSIS package "Package1.dtsx" finished: Failure.
I'm setting the property to a variable, copyDestFiles, which I've tried numerous ways to set, the latest being in a script.
Dts.Variables("User::copyDestFiles").Value = _
"""" + stageDataName + """,""D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerData"","""";""" + _
stageLogName + """ ,""D:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerData"","""""
When I view the variable at runtime it looks like this: "Prod2.mdf","D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Data","";"Prod_log2.ldf" ,"D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\Data",""
How does one set this property using an expression?

I have the following problem:
All Sp's and UDF's in one base database have to be compiled into five identical databases located in the same SQL Server in order to keep all those five db's stored procedures synchronized.
I made a simple SSIS package which content one "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" component.
Hardcoded connection/Source db/Destination db and setup properties as
"Drop object first" = True
"Copy All Stored procedures" = True
"Copy All UDF" = True
Then I executed the Package right from Visual Studio environment and after the substantial thinking finally it show me a green light.
But when I verified the result no Sp's in the destination database were re-compiled/copied from the source database.
Is it kind of bug or I did something wrong ?
Any advice will be appreciated.

Hello all :)
First, sorry for my english but I don't practice everday
So,
I'm a new user of Microsoft SQL 2005 and I'm testing some functionalities in SSIS.
I used the Transfer Objects Task to copy one database to another.
The both db's are on the same instance.
I chose these options for the transfer
-SourceConnection : My_Instance
-SourceDatabase : My_DB
-DestinationConnection : My_Instance
-DestinationDatabase : CopyOfMy_DB
-DropObjectsFirst = True
-IncludeExtendedProperties = Fasle
-CopyData = True
-ExistingData = Replace
-CopySchema = True
-UseCollation = True
IncludeDependentObjects =False
CopyAllObjects = True
The others options are set on FASLE
When I execute the package, I got an error message, the logins are dropped. I cannot connect to the database engine, even with my admin account.
I have to restore the master database !
So my question is : why this SSIS task drop all the logins in sql server in place of just copy one database??????
What's the solution for this problem?
Thanks for your comments !
