Usually, the XML Source will refresh its metadata when I don't want it to, and will cause me to repair all downstream metadata when it does. This time, I actually want it to refresh, as the schema changes I've made are significant.
Yet, I don't see any "Refresh" button in the XML Source UI. Even clicking "Browse" and browsing to the schema doesn't force a refresh. I've had to change the schema name (it has to be to an existing schema!) then change it back in order to force a refresh.
Is there a "Right" way to do this?
And is there any way to "right-size" the amount of metadata disruption this causes? I was pleased to see that updating a database schema limits the SQL Server Destination to updating only the changed metadata. Yet, any change at all to the XML Schema or XML file will cause all of the XML Source metadata to be invalidated, a process that takes several minutes at 100% cpu usage!
[OLE DB Source [1]] Warning: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The column "objectName1" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection.
A corollary question: what does right-clicking a package in Solution Explorer and clicking "Reload with Upgrade" do?
-We are using SSIS packages for various kind of data load from excel source. -If there are any change in the data type or format of excel, the package cries for the Metadata mismatch. -During design time if you accept the metadata changes, all things work fine.
But in our case we have deployed the packages on Production Server, now the excel file format/data has changed. The packages are expecting a different metadata so they are not working at all.
Do you have any suggestions for the above problem? Thanks, Vijay.
My SSIS package has 19 XML Source inputs constructed of 4 different (XSD) Schemas. I'm trying to find a convenient way to refresh the underlying metadata at design time so that I don't have to open each XML Source, change the XSD reference, click on the columns display, change the XSD back to the original but updated XSD just to get say a new default column width for string data. Does anyone have a quicker way to force an SSIS package to pick up changes in a referenced XSD?
I have a got a package with source as sql table which has got 50 columns. We are using only 10 columns out of this. Recently one column name has changed and thus throws error invalid mapping. When I open the source to do the changes noticed that all the colums are prselected now and also the datatypes got changed to default ( I had changed the datatypes as per my requirement while i developed). So now I had to select required columns from source and redo the datatype changes in advanced editor.Is there any option which doesnt disturb this settings and we just need to correct the mapping alone.Â
Take a Dataflow Task, with an OLEDB Source Component and an OLEDB Destination Component in it. The Source component's Source is stored in a SQLQuery variable, and the Destination component's Destination is stored in a TableName variable. The Dataflow Task is put into an For Loop container.
I just want to do one thing:
In the For Loop, everytime it send a new value to the SQLQuery variable and the TableName variable, then I could use it to transfer many tables in a same logic.
My question is: Really, I could send new values to the variables and make it go. But everytime it says "The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns." Because the external metadata was recorded and not be change automatically everytime of Loop.
How to update the source columns'metadata automatically?
I have an XML file that my XML Source component is accessing. I have noticed that is possible to set a column in the external metadata collection to a certain datatype and the matching output column to a different datatype and this doesn't not generate a warning like it does with other source components (e.g. Flat File Source Adapter).
Try it. Set a column in your external metadata to have a datatype of DT_WSTR. Set the matching output column to DT_UI8. You will NOT get a validation error. I think you should.
This behaviour was noticed on RTM (i.e. no service pack installed) by the way.
Our team is new to SSRS and we are trying to figure out how to refresh the data source view, autogenerate the corressponding report model and Re-Deploy the Report Model (rewrite existing Report Model) on the server on a periodoc basis or trigger the whole action whenever there is a change in the database on some specific tables.
We prefer to do this action through a Agent job ( a diff approach is also welcome).
I have a SSIS package with a Data Flow task. This task transfers the data from SQL Server 2000 to a table in SQL Server 2005.
I deployed and tested this package on the Test Server. Then put this package in a job and executed it - Works fine.
On the production server- If I execute the package through DTEXECUI, it works fine. But when I try executing it through a job- the job fails and it gives me following error:
Description: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The "external metadata column "T_FieldName" (82)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection....
What I don't understand is, why are there no errors displayed when I execute the package through DTEXECUI.
I am stuck on finding a solution to transpose source data from a system via a metadata look-up table into a destination table. I need a method to transpose/pivot the source data into columns (which are by various data-types). The datatypes for each column are listed in a metadata table.
Source Data Table:
Table Name: Source
SrcID AGE City Date 01 32 London 01-01-2013 02 35 Lagos 02-01-2013 03 36 NY 03-01-2013
Metadata Table:
Table Name:Metadata
MetaID Column_Name Column_type 11 AGE col_integer 22 City col_character 33 Date col_date
Destination table:
The source data to be loaded into the destination table(as shown below):
I want to update @Stop.UserField with thevalue from @UpdateSource where @UpdateSource.HasPathway=@Stop.UserField...but I need to use the @FieldDescription table to determine how to map the columns.
I have a package that has a data lfow task. this task imports data from a db2 database (using the IBM Ole DB provider fro db2) and adds it to sql server database table. This package was created on the server. then though version control (using TFS source control) I check out the package on my local machine. and when I open the package I get the foll 3 errors.

I have a package which reads an Access file from a folder. My connection manager to this file is .NET providers for OledbMicrosoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Package works from my computer. But when I execute it on the server as a SQL Agent job, I get

Is it possible to generate automatic refresh of excel 2013 table which displays some table of a power pivot model on file open?? I dont want to use pivottable (which supports this ...)
I have an existing data warehouse that is refreshed nightly from system1.
We will be moving to a new system2 1/1/06. The old system1 will be phased out by the end of 2006. Several tables on system2 will have different keys.
I have to move the data from both systems in the data warehouse.
Here's the issue. I have to totaly refresh the data warehouse nightly. Once system2 is phased out how do I keep the data from system1 and refresh only data from system2.
I recently added a column to an existing table with a getdate default. When doing a query from that server everything works fine. When a query is ran from a remote server I get an SQLOLEDB error message saying 'inconsistant metadata'. I've tried dropping the remote server and reconnecting but that didn't seem to resolve the problem. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this error. I believe the error number is 7353.
Hi,Is it possible to get metadata (i.e. descriptions of tables etc.) insql-server? In Oracle you can retrieve this information with tables likeall_objects, user_tables, user_views etc. For example, this query selectsthe owner of the table 'ret_ods_test' (in Oracle!):select ownerfrom all_objectswhere object_name = 'ret_ods_test'What's the equivalent in sql server?Thanks a lot.
Is there a way to find out which user defined procs/child packages etc are been called in SSIS packages using some metadata. The idea is to have a document which lists the number of packages called, whats sprocs and child packages are executed by those pkgs..
I have checked the SSIS metadata whitepaper but that is too generic.
i am using icolumnsrowset interface to get some metadata about the columns in a rowset, but i never got unique and primary key columns in the columnsrowset, they always return null, when using sqlcedataadapter i simply add addwithkey option to the adapter to determine it, but i dont know how to do it by using ole db interfaces, i have tried to set DBCOLUMN_KEYCOLUMN flag to true on ccommand<cynamicaccessor, crowset> but it seems it rejects it, generating an unknown error, error object says almost nothing except that 'errors occured[,,,,,]' text
can someone tell me, how can i retrieve columnsrowset with that unique and primary key sections filled?
Hello, i would like to know if it's possible to generate automatically a word document or an excel document that will contain all the metadata definition, for example containing the source columns names, their datatype, and the destination with their datatypes, so that it would easy to create a data dictionnary .
It's now quite some time that one particular behaviour of SSIS is really frustrating me and I would like to know if I'm the only one experiencing this problem or if other people have the same problem. The issue I'm talking about is SSIS 'dependency on what is written in the XML files describing the flows. Particularly with the Data Types of columns. I'm explaining myself: Imagine your are developping a flow containing several numeric(18,0) columns... During the flow you have to perform a lookup on an Integer Field.... Of course this operation is not allowed as a numeric is not mappable with an Integer... (This is, in my opinion, a nonsense as an implicit conversion has to be possible). as a result of this behaviour, I decide to change the datatype (numeric) from my source query to an integer and use it in the Lookup which of course succeeds but now I have a second problem: each lookup in my flow has an error handling branch which I'm joining back using a Union transform. and there we have the second irritation: the Union transform doesn't replicate the Data Type changes that occured upwards in the flow... worse: it even has no interface to let you modify the data types like the advanced editor of some transforms or data sources. (I've just lost a complete dataflow while trying to modify it manually in the xml file directly :-( for those who are considering modifying directly the XML, don't!! You are asking for trouble and a lot of frustration when you'll switch back to the designer to see the effects ) My question is now: Am I misusing SSIS?? Is there somewhere an option to activate in order to get this behaviour fixed?? Has anyone else experienced this problem?? How are you solving this?? Are there any plans in the future to loose this dependency on the datatypes or at least add some implicit conversions??
Thanks in advance for your replies, suggestions,questions and other thaughts about this subject :-)
I have a question regarding my metadata information. I finally setup my fixed width file which took some time. Is there a way that I can backup my metadata so I wont have to recreate these setting again. I'm thinking the format of the file is stored in the metadata so if I have a user running the SSIS package from the Business Intell Studio they wont reset all of my columns. Is there a file I can restore or backup if this should happen
I'm running the following query in SQL Server 2005: select name from master..syslogins; It is being executed from within a stored procedure.
For user 'sa' - I get the complete list of users. For a user (say 'user1') with NO sysadmin privilege - I get only two names: 'sa' and 'user1'
Is there a way for me to retrieve the complete list of users even for 'user1' without making any changes to his profile (or making very MINIMAL changes to profile)?
I don't want to give sysadmin profile to this user. I know 'GRANT VIEW ANY DEFINITION TO public' works, but don't want to do that either.
I wanted to see if anyone has explored posting a Report KB based on metadata in the RS portal? If so, have you found a way to post the information on the RS portal?
I really am looking to add additional properties to a report. Other than author and description. I would like to add 2 to 3 more fields that would feed over to the catelog table on the report server. Then write a few reports that will allow for definitions, metadata, and links to the reports.
Does anyone have any ideas for something like this?
hi, I try to post a new question about metadata refresh...even if i see other thread that work on a similar problem.
I have a ssis package that import an xml huge file (500 mb); These are the main step:
1) generate a XSD file against xml using xsd.exe utility
2) using xml task, make a diff between the old xsd and the new
3) if there are no difference, I start the data flow task that import xml in sql server; otherwise I stop all the task, edit the data flow task, change the xsd reference in advanced editor and then make many "double clik / OK" on every single flow....
The underling idea is that xml file change because some columns are added but these columns are not interesting for my elaboration, so i can ignore this new column and work without mapping it.
What I'm looking for is a way for make, via SSIS, the "double clik / OK" steps....in other words, to update the metadata.
Could anybody suggest me a way? it's a sort of macro, or keyboard recorder...I'm trying to study xml package configuration; is this a good way ?
another way is to give to the end user the task to update metadata; for making this I need to open the package editor (visual studio..:!) in a more confortable environment....For example, is possible to edit the ssis package in ms access? probably i know the answer...
HI, I have a problem with the data that I want to delete and insert new one on my SQL.It will work if I just delete a row. And work well if I just insert a row.But it will not work if I delete and insert at once on one procedure. Here's the code : Protected Sub RolesRadioButtonList_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RolesRadioButtonList.SelectedIndexChanged Session("CurrentRoleId") = Me.RolesRadioButtonList.SelectedValue ' Call Sub RemoveUsersInRoles RemoveUsersInRoles() ' Call Sub AddNewUsersInRoles AddNewUsersInRoles() End Sub Sub RemoveUsersInRoles() ' Create SQL database connection Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True") Dim cmd As New SqlCommand cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text ' Delete that row with correct UserId cmd.CommandText = "DELETE aspnet_UsersInRoles WHERE (UserId = '" & Session("CurrentUserId") & "')" cmd.Connection = sqlConn sqlConn.Open() cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() ' Close SQL connecton sqlConn.Close() End Sub Sub AddNewUsersInRoles() ' Create SQL database connection Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True") sqlConn.Open() ' Create new row with new UserId Dim sqlString As String = "INSERT INTO aspnet_UsersInRoles (UserId, RoleId) VALUES( '" & Session("CurrentUserId") & "','" & Session("CurrentRoleId") & "')" Dim sqlComm As New SqlCommand(sqlString, sqlConn) Dim sqlExec As Integer = sqlComm.ExecuteNonQuery ' Close SQL connection sqlConn.Close() End Sub------------------------------------------- I can delete the row if I call 'RemoveUsersInRoles'And I can insert new one if I call 'AddNewUsersInRoles' But if 'RolesRadioButtonList_SelectedIndexChanged' is called, it will not work well.If the row not exist, it will insert new row. And that what I want.But If the row is exist, It wont delete that row and wont insert the new one. That's the problem. Do I need some 'pause' or 'refresh connection' here ? Thank You.
Our application is C++ and datbases are Sybase. We are 11.5.1 Sybase. Lately some of our clients have complained about data refresh problems. That if a user has made some changes within the application then these data changes are taking long time to reflect to other users in the system. We do have in our application processes to automatically refresh data for other users but for some odd reason it is not working properly. Also every day we run sp_recompile and sp_stat on the tables and stored procs. Any ideas or leads ?
