I have defined a variable varFileName and when I go to the Expression Builder in my Connection Manager Properties I can't see it and even when I type the name it says the variable is not existent or in a different scope. I have set the scope to be the very same package, that's for sure. Can anybody please tell me, as I can't solve this mistery, why the Builder does not see the var???

I have a report that I want users to navigate to and I want them to see the parameters of the report, but I don't want them to be able to change them. Is this possible?
View 3 Replies View RelatedTrying to setup a derived column to use an expression stored in a package variable. But it seems that variables are always evaluated as text...I need it to evaluate as a Columname sometimes.
Example:
On an ETL of Products I want a new derived column that uses two other columns.
I can hardcode an expression of ProductID + " - " + ProductName and that results in dynamic output. But now I want to use that as an expression stored in a variable so I can change it when needed.
So I make that expression = @[User::Variable]
and stuff into @variable ( a string param) : ProductID + " - " + ProductName
My output is the literal "ProductID + " - " + ProductName", and not the actual ID's and Names
I've tried with/without brackets, quotes and braces but no change.
Any way I can get the pieces in that variable expression to evaluate as column names?
I want to have this query insert a bunch of XML but i get this error...

How can I inside a DFT set a System variable, for example "TaskName" to an own created User Variable?
The reason is that I need to use this variable later in the Control Flow.

Hello
Is there a way that I can create a user defined variable in my database? I have a fairly large chunk of xml that I would like to store in the database that can be updated by clients ( in rare cases ). I could use other mechinisms to allow access to it, but all other application related information is stored nicely in this one place, I hate to vary for this single piece.
Thank you for your time and thoughts.

Hi,
I have a package that uses a variable string (in date format) to execute a package.
I want to modify that variable in such a way that if no value is set for that variable then use system date else use date in varaiable.
Can someone help me out in this.. I know it has something to do with the expression builder but donn know how to do it.
Cheers
This is part of the codes of a stored procedure:
-- Create tables variables
DECLARE @_tab_PRNumList TABLE(
PRNum udt_PRNum
)
However, it cannot be compiled coz of this error:
Error 2715: Column or parameter #1: Cannot find data type udt_PRNum.
This user-defined data type is created in a user database only.
I tried to created the user-defined type into BOTH tempdb and master but same error.
How can i resolove it?
Or it is impossible to use user-defined datatype for table variable?
In the past,
i use this method:
CREATE TABLE #PRNumList (
PRNum udt_PRNum
)
and cerate udt_PRNum in tempdb only could solve it.
But now i want to use table variable.
It seems NOT work for my situation.
Any idea?
Hi everyone,
How to define a Input variable in a Execute Sql Task??
I've defined a User::Inicio variable which contains 4 as value.
In Parameter Mappins it has been defined. Then, I've gone to General->Sql Statement and allocated the following SQL Statement:
UPDATE CARGAPROCESOS SET FECHAULTIMACARGA = [Inicio]
or
UPDATE CARGAPROCESOS SET FECHAULTIMACARGA = [User::Inicio]
Anyway, I'm stuck, both did not work
Thanks in advance for your comments
Hi !
I have one Excel source with ... say 2 columns, I have an SQL Server destination with 3 columns.
I want the third column to be populated with a single value stored in a User::Variable.
Can someone help !
Jacques...
I've created a user variable but when I'm going through its variable collections for that TaskHost appears all the system users but not mine.
Why??
?th.variables.count
26
When I have 27 including the mine.
how to pass the column that has a numeric(12,0) data type to user variable in SSIS? what kind of variable data type should I choose?
if i select int64, it keep giving me an error:
Error: 0xC001F009 at Row by Row process: The type of the value being assigned to variable "User:bject_Key" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.
there is no numeric data type in variable..
if you click the drop down box in variable data type, you can only see the below data type:
Int32
int64
Object
Sbyte
single
string
uint32
uint64
boolean
byte
char
Does anyone know how I can use a user variable in a sqlcommand in a Datareader source with an ODBC connection as the source?
I am storing a date value in a user variable(Date) I fill with a SQL Task and then want to use the value in the sqlcommand I use in the Datareader Source. It won't let me use the @variablename in the sql command.
Can anyone help with some advice on how I can make this work?
Appreciate any help I can get.
Thank you
Hello All,
I have a user variable , say max_id, which retrieves the max id from a primary key column of a table.
now in Data Flow Task, I have a Derived Column where I am creating a new column which will have the values max_id + 1 for the first record, then max_id + 2 for the second record of the derived column and so on..
and then I am mapping this derived column with that primary key column of the table, so that the new id's are different than the old ones which are already in the table, so there wont be any primary key violation.
I cannot make that primary key column as an Identity column.
my question is how do I increment this max_id user variable everytime ?

I'm trying to create a simple function that will do a count on a table. I want to pass the table name in form of a parameter to the variable and this function will return the count as an int. See my function below...
CREATE FUNCTION count_rows (@tablename varchar(100)
RETURNS int AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @emp_count AS int
declare @declaration varchar(100)
[Code] ....
The errors I am getting are as follows:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure count_rows, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near 'RETURNS'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure count_rows, Line 10
Incorrect syntax near '@declaration'.
Msg 178, Level 15, State 1, Procedure count_rows, Line 14
A RETURN statement with a return value cannot be used in this context.
I hope this is a simple question. I have a package-scope user variable which is populated using a Recordset Destination in a Data Flow task. I am attempting to read the variable multiple times from different Script Tasks. The first read works fine, however the second read, in the second Script Task, says that there are no rows.
Has anyone run across this before? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi:
In the derived column transformation editor, I have a Derived column name called FileGroupID. I would like to pass in a value for this column from a variable that I have set earlier in the scope. Can someone let me know, how to write the expression that does that and where do I specifiy that expression. I am thinking its the expression field in the derived column transformation editor. My main question is how to actually write the expression, what is the syntax to pull the variable value? Thanks.

Hello,
Please can anyone tell me if or how I have to cross reference to a user defined variable from a script task in the SQL of a Data Reader Source?
The script task creates a variable for the last Sales Ledger Session. The SQL in the data reader source that updates the DW sales invoice lines file based upon those invoice lines where the session number is greater than the value from the script task.
The SQL command in the custom properties doesn't cross reference back to the variable.
If anyone can help or needs further detail to help please post a resonse.
Thanks,

Hi,
When I register an SQL Server from elsewhere on the network, some of them are not displaying SQL Executive in the Enterprise manager.
Why is this?
I recently imported some Access tables into SQL Server. I can go into enterprise manager and return all rows and the data is there.
I build an ASP page to edit the data. After the connection the data for the record is displayed in a form. For some reason some fields are not coming through?
Is this a problem when converting to SQL Server. It just doesn't make sense that the table in Enterprise manager says the field is populated but when I do a pull via ASP the data doesn't come through.
Does anyone know anything about this?
Any help or pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
JW
I am using an expression to hide values in a row based on a date field ( if date is bewtween this date and that date show value, otherwise hide it). My problem is now I need to sum all the values, even though some are not visible the sum is still adding them. Is there an expression to check for only "visible" rows??

I can't seem to make the SQL Server visible to anything other then SQL Server Tools. (management Studio, etc.)
Neither Visual Studio 2005, or Administrative Tools/Data Sources can view or connect with my SQL Server.

Hi all,
I have a 1 TB network drive on a Windows 2005 sql server that is visible at the OS level.I am trying to use this for my SQL backups but this drive is not visible from SQL server. All the other drives appear fine except this drive. The OS team already checked everything and as its visible at the OS level they point to SQL server as the one having problems.
Any suggestion would help..
-Thanks all.
Dear all,
When you go to Sql Management Studio->Object Explorer and select Tables and then System you don€™t see any at all.
Why are not visible system tables for each user database as previously did Sql Server 2000 ? They are hidden or there is other stuff?
Any thought or view would be very appreciated.

Is there anyway to check if a textbox (or detail row, etc) is visible? I'm envisioning something like an 'isVisible' function. I'm trying to set a filter in the detail section based on a toggled visibility.
Thanks.

I am trying to do some time series analysis on data that I have. I've read that the best way to do this is to use CLR to write the manipulation code in .Net and then load the assembly into SQL rather than extracting the data, manipulating it and putting it back again.
I'm using crystal reports with visual studio 2003 to do my reporting. The problem I am facing is that the CLR stored procedures I create using SQLExpress are not visible from my SQL explorer built into Visual Studio 2003. I can create stored procedures using standard transact sql and these are visible, but the CLR stored procedures are not.
I've noticed when I browse the stored procedures in my SQL Management Studio that the image of the stored procedure has a padlock shown in the icon, as if they are locked?
Do I have to explicitly enable a security attribute on CLR stored procedures to make them visible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have packages stored in SQL store. I was letting users run the packages from a .net app that I made with
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Now I have noticed this causes the packages to run on the client pc cpu, as well as the network traffic is done via the client pc, in my particular case this is slow.
From the doc and in this forum I have found that you can run a package on the Server cpu through sql agent, let packages be run in a sql job. after that you can start a package from an application with the SQL sp_start_job .
But How do you set a user::varibale in a package if you have to start the package from a sql agent job ?
