I have a DTS package which executes an ActiveX control written in vbscript. I need to move the ActiveX code out of the DTS environment. The code is too big to execute in a Sql Server Job Step as type "ActiveX Script." Do I have any other easy options?
Thanks,
Michael

I am creating a DTS package to import a .txt file into sql. I have everything in place, but the text file needs to have the last record deleted before the import. I need help with this part
I would like to delete the last record from a fixed width text file before I import it into sql. The number of rows will vary from file to file.
Can any one offer suggestions on the best way to do this.
I understand that I have to use the FSO to open and read the file, but I am not sure the best way to proceed after that.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
I am getting an Error on Line 4 of sample code, any idea, where?

I need to retrieve the Global Variables set in my package configuration file within an ActiveX Script Task within an SSIS package. In DTS, I could access the Global Variables to execute a SQLXMLBulkLoad for the following statement:
==========================================
Function Main()
Response.Expires=-1
set objBL = CreateObject("SQLXMLBulkLoad.SQLXMLBulkLoad")
objBL.ConnectionString =
"provider=SQLOLEDB.1;server=ABC123;database=MyDB;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
objBL.KeepIdentity = False
objBL.CheckConstraints = False
objBL.Execute DTSGlobalVariables("gv_XSDSchemaFile").Value, DTSGlobalVariables("gv_XMLFullPath").Value
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
set objBL=Nothing
End Function
=========================================
I have tried using the Script Task to write this in VB.NET, however the MSXML4.0 is not exposed within the limited object model of the Script Task Designer. I have written a Data Flow Object using the XML Source, however it requires quite a bit of effort to have the Data Flow Component parse the XML (with 10 hierarchical nodes), transform each and provide a SQL Server Destination. This works, however the XML Source Component requires a hardcoded reference to the XSD Schema file and does not allow for a Global Variable to used. (They do provide this functionality for the XML file source though).
My requirement is to allow for the Global Variable to be passed for the Schema file at runtime. The only way I can think of is to recreate what I was doing in DTS where I could simply pull in the XML and XSD Global Variables and execute the SQLXMLBulkLoad in VB Script.
Any ideas on how to write this in VBScript within the ActiveX Script Task in SSIS?...

Hi All
I just have a excel macro code, It is working in excel itself.
But I want to execute within SSIL package.
When I am trying through Active X, It is returning error.
Can any one help me please....

I have an application written in C#, which allows the user to load their destination schema (in xml format) and writer their transformation expressions either in VBScript or in T-SQL. It uses DTS to do the ETL job.
Everything works great except with one problem. If there is a hypen ("-") in any of the destination attributes, the transformation fails with syntax error. It happens only with VBScript.
Here is my transformation:
"Function Main()
DTSDestination("Field-1") = #01/01/2004#
End Function"
If I replace the hypen with underscore, it works without any problem.
Does anyone have any idea about this problem?
How do i get my server to run a vbscript (yet to be created but i guess it will be in a DTS package???) when an insert runs on a table?
We need to analyse the browser versions hitting our intranet and catch the ones that are too old (earlier than IE5.5). I have the asp inserting a row with the IP address of the browser but i need to run a command line query to get the machine name from DNS (nslookup 111.222.333.444). This nslookup can be run from a vbscript.
Do i need to used a stored procedure in the process somewhere?
any thoughts welcomed
I am trying to write a DTS package at work that uses a loop to fire a query off against a different server/database at each loop iteration. Prior to the execute SQL task , I use ActiveX (VBScript) to change the Catalog and DataSource of the connection (created by drag and drop if icon). My Execute SQL task selects @@servername and getdate() just as a dummy query to make sure I am actually pointed at a different server.
While testing the properties of the connection using global variables and msgbox shows that the database (catalog) and server (data source) ip address is being changed, the result returned is always from the first server. I feel like I need to disconnect the connection object, change the parameters and then reconnect to the new server but there doesn't appear to be anyway to do this.
Anyone out there able to successfully change a connection object inthis manner??

I have an SQL job that runs a .vbs script. It has the following code:
Cmd2.ActiveConnection = Conn2
Cmd2.CommandText = "USE msdb EXEC sp_update_job @job_name = 'Email Download',@enabled = 0"
Cmd2.CommandType = 1
Cmd2.Execute()
It's not disabling the job. If I execute in Query Analyzer, it works. I'm thinking it might be a permissions issue. Any suggestions?
TIA

Ok, I've been charged with the task of setting up an IVR(interactive voice response) system for remote data entry. It was all going great till I got to the utility's Database connector. It wouldn't work, but I saw that the program also supported VBScript, great! I know VBScript.
Simple task, setup a simple flow where data can be entered. I setup a DSN for the access database(not quite MS SQL, but close enough) I'd created. It gave me a syntax error when I tried to use '' in an auto increment field. I think the exact query was:
"INSERT INTO test_table VALUES('',$RV[Store Number],'$RV[Objective]','question1','question2',question3');"
The database setup was:
id(AutoNumber),store_number(number),objective(text),q1(text),q2(text),q3(text)
Changed the auto number in the query to a 0 and it worked fine, but of course it was only to test if it would work. It would create a duplicate row if it went further than the first row.
I don't understand what my syntax error was. The $RV[*] are variables retrieved by procedures in the IVR scripting program. Need this for work so I can setup a demo of the system to present to my boss' bosses' bosses

Hey guys,
I have a database import that I'm doing and I'm using DTS/VBscript to manipulate data.

Does anyone have a suggestion on making it 03/09/06?
Or just the best way to handle this type of data

How to compare db2 and sql7 database using VB script
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi!
I'm trying to insert rows into an SQL Server table using a semicolon-separated text file as the source. The file continues approximately 4000 rows and I use the readLine() function to get the data ready for insert.
After reading a line I insert the row into SQL Server using a normal INSERT statement. I have tried this using only 100 test lines nand everything worked OK, but the first time I tried inserting all 4000 the web server seemed to go down.
Is this because SQL Server is not capable of such a bulk insert via web?
Is there something I could do to makes this easier?
Hi guys. I'm now stuck with something and wondering if anyone can shed me some lights.
I'm now building a backup procedure for an application (business objects), and the sequence is
1) stop the service of the application
2) SQL backs up the database and at the same time, copy a folder to a backup location
3) restart the service of the application
I've come up with the scripts to stop/start the service and copy the folder to a backup location. Now, my boss wants me to put everything into a single procedure, but I have no clue how. My question is how do I trigger a SQL backup after the script stops the service of the application?

Hi..
i am new to vbscripting.i need to create the vbscript for

pre-requisites through script i have to install.
Kindly provide any solution for this.you can reach me at

how do Silent Installation with VBscript ? because I have some step for user interactive.
please anyone put an example about this or put a link to.
thank you very much.
I went to Microsoft to find some info about the function Instr. I need to
perform a search with a string similar to their example I found below. Can
anyone explain to me Microsoft's example?? I am little confused by the
parameters used and the explanation it gives back to me??
Dim SearchString, SearchChar, MyPos
SearchString ="XXpXXpXXPXXP" ' String to search in.
SearchChar = "P" ' Search for "P".
MyPos = Instr(4, SearchString, SearchChar, 1) ' A textual comparison
starting at position 4. Returns 6.
MyPos = Instr(1, SearchString, SearchChar, 0) ' A binary comparison
starting at position 1. Returns 9.
MyPos = Instr(SearchString, SearchChar) ' Comparison is binary by default
(last argument is omitted). Returns 9.
MyPos = Instr(1, SearchString, "W") ' A binary comparison starting at
position 1. Returns 0 ("W" is not found).
My problem is this:
I need to scan within SearchString for blanks/spaces characters. When I
find one, then place the values to the left and right of it in seperate
columns. For example, I would need to scan 'John Smith A' and then place
'John' in FirstName column, 'Smith' in LastName column, and 'A' in MidName
column.
I think this is how my code would read, but I am confused on how to place
the results into my table to the correct columns?
my search string would be SearchString = 'John Smith A'
my SearchChar would be SearchChar = ' ' (note I am searching for a
space/blank character)
So would then my code be like:
Dim SearchString, SearchChar, MyPos
SearchString = 'John Smith A'
SearchChar = ' '
MyPos = Instr(1, SearchString, SearchChar, 0)
How do I get whatever is returned from the Instr function to a column in a
table??
Any help would be great.
