Hello,
What I'm trying to do is get an XML query from a database and use the XML to render an excel document. Can this be done using SSIS? Can I actually read a column from a database and store it in a variable and then create an excel spreadsheet with that variable in SSIS? Would this be done in the control flow using the XML task editor?
Thanks,
Phil
I am building this as an expression, but it is not working. I am trying to return the row count into a variable to use later in an update statement. What am I doing wrong? I am using a single row result set. I have one variable defined in my result set. I am receiving an error stating: Execute SQL Task: There is an invalid number of result bindings returned for the ResultSetType: "ResultSetType_SingleRow". Any help is appreciated!
SELECT count(*) FROM hsi.itemdata a
JOIN hsi.keyitem105 b on a.itemnum = b.itemnum
JOIN hsi.keyitem106 c on a.itemnum = c.itemnum
JOIN hsi.keyitem108 d on a.itemnum = d.itemnum
WHERE a.itemtypegroupnum = 102
AND a.itemtypenum = 108
AND b.keyvaluechar = " + (DT_WSTR,2)@[User::Branch] + "
AND c.keyvaluechar = " + (DT_WSTR,2)@[User:epartment] + "
AND d.keyvaluesmall = " + (DT_WSTR,7)@[User::InvoiceNumber] + ")
I'm trying to use "findstr.exe" to extract some lines of interest from a data file, which I will later load to a table. I'd like to issue this form of a command:
findstr.exe "^SEARCHSTRING" "srcfile" > "dstfile"
I build the arguments using expressions, and both the search string and source file get correctly set. However, the ">" seems to be ignored--I can see the lines spitting out to the temporary window when I run under VS.
QUESTION: how do you redirect the output of a command run under an Execute Process Task?
Hi
This should be incredibly simple and easy, but I can't find any examples of how to do this.
I just want to make a File System Task move a file, and have the destination be filename + date and time. For example \serversharefilename02072007.txt
What syntax do I use in a variable to make this work?
Thanks
I have a SQL Task that calls a stored procedure and returns an output parameter. The task fails with error "Value does not fall within the expected range." The Stored Procedure is defined as follows: Create Procedure [dbo].[TestOutputParms] @InParm INT , @OutParm INT OUTPUT as Set @OutParm = @InParm + 5 The task uses an OLEDB connection and has a source type of Direct Input. The SQL Statement is Exec TestOutputParms 7, ? output The parameter mapping is: Variable Name Direction Data Type Parameter Name User::OutParm Output LONG @OutParm
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an SSIS package that uses a vb.net script to grab some XML from a webservice (I'd explain why I'm not using a web service task here, but I'd just get angry), and I wish to then assign the XML string to a package variable which then gets sent along to a DataFlow Task that contains an XML Source that points at said variable. when I copy the XML string into the variable value in the script, if do a quickwatch on the variable (as in Dts.Variable("MyXML").value) it looks as though the new value has been copied to the variable, but when I step out of that task and look at the package explorer the variable is its original value.
I think the problem is that the dataflow XML source has a lock on the variable and so the script task isn't affecting it. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem, or know a workaround?
I have a SQL Task that updates running totals on a record inserted using a Data Flow Task. The package runs without error, but the actual row does not calculate the running totals. I suspect that the inserted record is not committed until the package completes and the SQL Task is seeing the previous record as the current. Here is the code in the SQL Task:
DECLARE @DV INT;
SET @DV = (SELECT MAX(DateValue) FROM tblTG);
DECLARE @PV INT;
SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I've not been successful in passing a SSIS global variable to a declared parameter, but is it possible to do this:
DECLARE @DV INT;
SET @DV = ?;
DECLARE @PV INT;
SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I have almost 50 references to these parameters in the query so a substitution would be helpful.

I've got two Sql Tasks on my dtsx. The first one loads a value into "Proyecto" user variable and the second one executes a variable named "SegundoProceso" which contains from the beginning:
"select Fecha from LogsCargaExcel where Proyecto = " + @[User::Proyecto] +""
As SqlSourceType propety I have "Variable" and inside ResultSet or Parameter Mapping nodes there is nothing.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query ""select Fecha from LogsCargaExcel where Proyecto = " + @[User::Proyecto] +""" failed with the following error: "Cannot use empty object or column names. Use a single space if necessary.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Where am I wrong?
TIA
Hi,
I have an Execute SQL Task (OLE DB Connnection Manager) with a SQL script in it. In this script I use several SQL variables (@my_variable). I would like to assign an IS variable ([User::My_Variable]) to one of my SQL variables on this script. Example:
DECLARE @my_variable int
, <several_others>
SET @my_variable = ?
<do_some_stuff>
Of course, I also set up the parameter mapping.
However, it seems this is not possible. Assigning a variable using a ? only seems to work in simple T-SQL statements.
I have several reasons for wanting to do this:
- the script uses several variables, several times. Not all SQL variables are assigned via IS variables.
- For reading and mainenance purposes, I prefer to pass the variable only once. Otherwise every time the script changes u need to keep track of all questionmarks and their order.
- Passing the variable once also makes it easier to design the script outside IS using Management Studio.
- This script only does preparation for the actual ETL, so I prefer to keep it in one task instead of taking it apart to several consecutive Execute SQL Tasks.
- I prefer to use the OLE DB connection manager because it's a de facto standard here.
Could anyone help me out with the following questions:
- Is the above possible?
- If so, how?
- If not, why not?
- If not, what would be the best way around this problem?
Thanx in advance,
Pipo

Hi,
I've been looking into using the ability to select the table of an OLEDB destination task based on a package variable but would like to know if this could be utilised in the following example.
I have a CSV file (potentially there are many) with a number of rows. The rows do not necessarily contain the same number of elements. Each row has an EventID and this is used to determine the database table that the row is to be inserted in.
Initially i thought about using a conditional split to send each row down the path relating to its event ID. There would be multiple destinations depending on the table. With the possibility of 60 to 70 different event ID's this is very quickly going to get out of hand in the designer. I'd like to know if it would be possible to set up a case statement (or similar) in a script component and specify the table name as a variable depending on the event ID. I'd then use this table variable to set the destination task's table property.
Does this sound like a possibility or do i have to go down the route of multiple paths?
Many thanks in advance,
Grant
hello,
I'd like to know how I can grab the output of the following code and use it as variable:
declare @sql nvarchar(25)
set @sql = 'SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP'
EXEC(@sql)
Thank you.
Hope I can make this clear...
I have to download a file via FTP from one of our vendors, the filename is MMDDYYYY.zip, this is a weekly file and is posted between Tuesday and Thursday, so basically I never know exactly what the file is going to be called, to fix that, I added a FTP Task that will download a file if the date = today (Today = Thursday, when the job kicks off), if this fails, try a file where the name = today-1 (Wednesday), if this fails, try today-2 (Tuesday), all of that inside of a Sequence Container and with MaximumErrorCount set to 3. This is fine and it works fine, good.
Now my other issue, the .txt file inside the zip file (1080.txt), after being decompressed, needs to be renamed to MMDDYYYY.txt, where MMDDYYY = to the file I downloaded, but I never know what the file is going to named (MMDDYYYY, MMDD-1YYYY, MMDD-2YYYY).
Is it possible to output the filename of the file that I successfully download to a variable, so I can re-use name?
Any other thoughts?

GN
JK
then how can i put this into a variable like

Hi there,
I am working on SSIS package that gets data from SQL 2005 Database and writes that to a flat file. But I need to write the count of records as part of the header.
Here is what i am trying:
The OLE DB Source is calling a stored procedure and returning two things i.e. a resultset and an output parameter. The data access mode is SQL Command.
Code SnippetEXEC [Get_logins] ?, ?, ? OUTPUT
In the Set Query Parameters dialogbox, all the three patameters are mapped to three different user variables.
What is happening is that the user variable that is mapped to output parameter is never updated. The header property expression is written as follows
Code SnippetRIGHT("0000000000" + (DT_STR, 10, 1252)@LoginCount, 10)
I tried to watch the variable in watch window but to no avail. Any guidance if it is bug or I am missing some thing? Any thoughts, how can I accomplish this? I have also tried adding Row Count Transformation but its variable has the same behaviour. If I set the value of @LoginCount variable to some value, this initially set value is successfully written to the file header.
Thanks

Really stuck trying different ways to get a string variable (expression based) to parse and run correctly in an ExecuteSQL task. Would someone be able to advise why one of the following methods works and the other does not?
I'd really prefer to have the second currently not working method be used if possible.
WORKS:
"[audit].[up_LogEtlPackageStart]
@ETLAuditParentKey = ?,
@Description = ?,
@PackageName = ?,
@PackageGuid = ?,
@PackageVersionMajor = ?,
@PackageVersionMinor = ?,
@PackageVersionBuild = ?,
@MachineName = ?,
@ExecutionGuid = ?,
@LogicalDate = ?,
@StartTime = ?,
@Operator = ?,
@ETLAuditKey = ? OUTPUT"
FAILS:
When the variable expression is set as follows I :
Code Block
"[audit].[up_LogEtlPackageStart]
@ETLAuditParentKey = " + (DT_WSTR, 100)@[User::ETLAuditParentKey] + ",
@Description = " + (LEN( @[User::PackageDescription]) == 0 ? "' '" : @[User::PackageDescription]) + ",
@PackageName = " + @[System::PackageName] + ",
@PackageGuid = " + @[System::PackageID] + ",
@PackageVersionMajor = " + (DT_WSTR, 100)@[System::VersionMajor] + ",
@PackageVersionMinor = " + (DT_WSTR, 100)@[System::VersionMinor] + ",
@PackageVersionBuild = " + (DT_WSTR, 100)@[System::VersionBuild] + ",
@MachineName = " + @[System::MachineName] + ",
@ExecutionGuid = " + @[System::ExecutionInstanceGUID] + ",
@LogicalDate = " + (DT_WSTR, 100)@[User::LogicalDate] + ",
@StartTime = " + (DT_WSTR, 100)@[System::StartTime] + ",
@Operator = " + @[System::UserName] + ",
@ETLAuditKey = " + (DT_WSTR, 100)@[User::ETLAuditKey] + " OUTPUT"
This method generates a "Syntax error, permission violation, or other nonspecific error. Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly"
Any ways to get the second failing expression to work?
Is this a problem due to the OUTPUT parameter?
THANKS!
I think I have a basic question. Can someone tell me
the command I can use to have a stored procedure run
and generate output? This is for SQL 6.5.
I would like to schedule the sp_help_revdatabase
stored procedure to run periodically and output it
to a file. I think this is possible, but I haven't
been able to come up with the syntax...
Thanks for any suggestions!

I have a stored procedure that returns XML and have defined my own "Root" element w/ "ROOT('urlset')" in the stored procedure. When I put this into my Control Flow, I have a subsequent task that takes this XML stream and writes it to a file. The issue I am running into is that SSIS is adding it's own "Root" element before my output. Is there any way of avoiding this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am trying to do the following without success;
I have a UDF which returns a string of XML data (of the data type XML)
I want to use this UDF within an Execute SQL Task to set a variable to the output of the UDF. I then want to use the variable to pass the XML string to a XML Task to apply an XSLT to the XML.
I have set the following properties in the Execute SQL Task:
ResultSet: XML
SQLSourceType: Direct Input
SQLStatement: SELECT [dbo].[fn_GENERATE_XML](123) as rawxml
ResultName: 0
Variable Name:user::xml (where the variable is of type string)
My problem is something to do with the UDF call as if I substitute the UDF for a simple SELECT statement with a FOR XML Clause it works fine.
Any ideas where I am going wrong?
Thanks
I'm calling a procedure on a remote Server (local SQL2005, remote SQL2005) and I need the return value.
Local:
declare @value int execute ('exec mbtest1.dbo.psybcis ?', @value OUTPUT) at [REMOTESQLSERVER] select @value
Remote:
create procedure [dbo].[psybcis] (@value int OUTPUT) as begin select @value = '13' end
I do not get a value in the OUTPUT variable - just NULL. Documentation says:
Execute a pass-through command against a linked server
{ EXEC | EXECUTE } ( { @string_variable | [ N ] 'command_string [ ? ] ' } [ + ...n ] [ { , { value | @variable [ OUTPUT ] } } [ ...n ] ] ) [ AS { LOGIN | USER } = ' name ' ] [ AT linked_server_name ] [;]
There is an OUTPUT parameter, but how does it work? Is my syntax wrong?
It works when using following syntax,
declare @value int exec [REMOTESQLSERVER].mbtest1.dbo.psybcis @value OUTPUT select @value
but I need to use this procedure call in a distributed transaction to a Sybase ASE server and this syntax is not allowed for cross-system-calls.
So first I want to get it work from SQL2005 to SQL2005.
I'm trying to call a stored procedure in an Execute SQL task which has several parameters. Four of the parameters are input from package variables. A fifth parameter is an output parameter and its result needs to be saved to a package variable.
Here is the entirety of the SQL in the SQLStatement property:
EXEC log_ItemAdd @Destination = 'isMedicalClaim', @ImportJobId = ?, @Started = NULL, @Status = 1, @FileType = ?, @FileName = ?, @FilePath = ?, @Description = NULL, @ItemId = ? OUTPUT;
I have also tried it like this:
EXEC log_ItemAdd 'isMedicalClaim', ?, NULL, 1, ?, ?, ?, NULL, ? OUTPUT;
Here are my Parameter Mappings:
Variable Name Direction Data Type Parameter Name
User::ImportJobId Input LONG 0
User::FileType Input LONG 1
User::FileName Input LONG 2
User::FilePath Input LONG 3
User::ImportId Output LONG 4
When this task is run, I get the following error:
0xC002F210 at [Task Name], Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "EXEC log_ItemAdd @Destination = 'isMedicalClaim', @ImportJobId = ?, @Started = NULL, @Status = 1, @FileType = ?, @FileName = ?, @FilePath = ?, @Description = NULL, @ItemId = ? OUTPUT" failed with the following error: "An error occurred while extracting the result into a variable of type (DBTYPE_I4)". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
The User::ImportId package variable is scoped to the package and I've given it data types from Byte through Int64. It always fails with the same error. I've also tried adjusting the Data Type on the Parameter Mapping, but nothing seems to work.
Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.

I created an Excel Source and used a query to get the data,i.e
SELECT F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6,F7 FROM [Fut Days$A20:G1480]
The query works fine, the preview returns the rows, but SSIS will not generate output Columns nor will it let me manually add them? Am I missing something?
Where does output from <xsl:message> stylesheet elements go? It's not in the Progress or Output window, and there doesn't seem to be a property that controls the destination for messages.
