Hi
I would like to be able to feed the List of tables to the Transfer SQL Server Object Task dynamically.
I have got a foreachloop container which it feeds the table names into a variable @table_name (string).
Transfer SQL Server Object Task is with in foreachloop container
I did add an expression into the property of Transfer SQL Server Object Task and assign the tablelist property to @table_name
I would be grateful if you can give me any hint.
Thanks

My applications group wants to do a table transfer from one server to another as a means of refreshing the information on the target on a scheduled basis. That means that reports could be running against the target table during the transfer. This has introduced erroneous reports because the object transfer initially truncates the table, then transfers the data. If reports are running during the transfer, they might retrieve no data or only part of a table. I wrote a procedure to make a copy of the table to be transferred, then transfer that new table to the target machine, then drop the target table, then rename the transferred table. Now, I have the slightly smaller problem of doing a DROP TABLE when users are accessing the table. I can't set the database to 'dbo use only' because there are other tables in the database that must be available. Is this really a replication application?

Trying to tranfer tables along with data using transfer sql server objects tasks and it is giving me an error <object> does not exists at source

Any workaround? Thanks in advance.

I am trying to move some tables from one database to another(both 2005) using SSIS. The tables are not dbo tables. I am using sql authentication for the source and windows authentication for the destination SMO conection.
I get the following error:
Error: 0xC002F325 at Transfer Tables from Beta To test, Transfer SQL Server Objects Task: Execution failed with the following error: "ERROR : errorCode=-1071636471 description=An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E37.

I have no problem transferring the dbo tables.

Does anyone know whats going on here?
Hi all,
I have a task as creating a SSIS package to transfer all the 10 tables from a database to another. And I have used the Transfer SQL Objects Task to select a table list and let the component do the transfering.
But my problem is that the source database have bad data and some null data, so I have to find a way to transfer only 'NOT BAD' data, and remove the bad data (lost relationship) and change NULL to "N/A".
And I can't find a way to do this. Is there anyone have experiences with this problem?
Can anyone help me?
I will very appreciate you help?
I wanted to create a package to copy the objects from one database to another and replace those object if they already exist. Therefore, before the package executes you do not know whether all the objects exist on the target server or only some of them.
Using the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task' I have found that I cannot get this to execute cleanly by itself. If I set the 'DropObjectsFirst' to false then an error is thrown if the object exists and if I set it to true then an error is thrown if it does not exist.
In order to get round this I have had to create an 'Execute SQL Task' to list all the objects and then go through them dropping them on the target server in a for each loop before executing the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task' with 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task' set to false.
However, is there a better way of achieving this or am I missing something in the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task'?
If I’m using the DTS Transfer SQL Object to move all objects and data from one server to another server and I make a schema change to source server, why is the dts package failing the next time I run it? Do I have to do some sort of refresh?
Any help!

I'm having trouble with what must be a common task as people migrate to 7.0. From the info I've read (MSDN, Books Online, etc) you cannot use the 7.0 Transfer GUI to access SQL Server 6.0, so I used a SQL 6.5 box to bring the old 6.0 DB half way.( all objects transfer well ).
However, I lose many types of objects whenever I attempt the 6.5 to 7.0 move.(views, contraints, rules, identity columns and seeds, etc.).
Does 7.0 require an ole connection to get these objects ? I believe it only gets an ODBC connection. Is there a required upgrade to the 6.5 box before the transfer? I have not found any articles mentioning this.
ps This is a 6.0->6.5->7.0 transfer, not using the upgrade wizard.
I have a client that is trying to use object transfer to move about a 1.4 GB db from one database to another. This transfer has been tried with both databases on the same server, and with the databases on different servers.
The transfer is taking over 4 hours..
The machines are single and dual processors respectively (pentium Pro 200)
with 1 GB of ram..
How long should it take? I would guess under an hour but I am not having any luck..
Thanks
Hi
All,
I am using Databaseobject transfer wizard to transfer objects and data
between two sql server 6.5 servers on schedule basis.unfortunately i specified non existing log directory for transfering these objects.Is there a way to change this this directory in 6.5 or to modify existing object transfer package..
I created several object transfers packages it will take lot of time for deleting and recreate them..
Thanks For your Help,
Kris
SQL 7.0 seems to be missing Database/Object Transfer tool, which allows to transfer single objects or whole database from one to another.
Also I couldn't find Backup/Restore one single object option eigther.
Could anyone can comment this, pls?

When I am trying to transfer a database from one server to another everything comes over fine except the Stored Procedures and views. What am I doing wrong?
I'v tried just transfering the SP and views and I am still having the problem.

In SQL 6.5, you could Transfer (through a menu item in Enterprise Mgr) all or parts of a database to another server. It was the perfect 'copy' mechanism. What happened to it?

Hi,
i am trying to transfer objects from SQL Server 2000 DB to SQL 2005 DB.
i have copy schema to true and i am only copying tables. when i have tried first time it worked fine but in next time it start to give error. here is the error description.

I am trying to alter the AdventureWorks database to transfer ownership from one schema to another...
Alter schema dbo transfer Person.CountryRegion
I get the following error..
"Cannot transfer a schemabound object."
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
I'm new to Integration Services and I have a problem when I try to make a simple transfer of tables and views between 2 DB.
The idea is to copy tables and views from DB1 to DB2.
If the object exists in the target DB, it must be dropped, then created and the data must be copied.
The problem occurs when a new object is created in the source DB and thus does not exist in the target DB. This throws an error because the system cannot drop an object wich does not exist.
What is the workaround ?
The idea is to execute this package every hour to have a cached DB. In this case, replication is not a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Patrice.
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.
Regards,
Robin
Hi Folks,
I have a problem when trying to schedule a Database /Object Transfer.
The transfer between two similiar databases located on differernt servers is consistantly failing even though it will be successful if I choose the
Start Transfer Option. The error message that appears is 'Process Exit Code 1. Cannot connect to source server'. This is even with the other server
regestered on both servers !
I have tried different levels of security (sa and trusted), re-regestering the servers, WINS settings in TCP/IP but all to no avail.
The servers are configured in the same way.
If you have come across the same problem, please share the solution. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Does anyone know of a reported bug in the security scripting option of the database/object transfer GUI utility in 6.5? I created a mirror database on the same server and transfered all object including logins and permissions. There was a warning the the passwords were set to null on the destination database, but they were also set to null on the source database. Any experience with this?

Sorry if this is a real simple question, but I just had a SQL 6.5 server dropped in my lap. I need to transfer all the data to a new box, which I did using the Tools mneu (Database/Object Transfer) in Enterprise Manager. I checked the databases after the transfer and all the data seems to be there, including the logins. However, if I try to connect the database, all logins fail.
Connection failed.
SQL State '28000'
SQL Server Error 4002
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed
Does any body know how to fix this easily without resetting every single user id?
Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi everyone
Can any one help me I am using Tranfer databse object task when I am trying to run it its throwing exception can not send null value in login name????
I am trying to transfer a table form one server to another using object transfer.
I can not transfer this one table.
I can access and view the data
I get this error when transferring “Cannot Truncate table <table name> because this table does not exist in database
Attempt to use Bulk copy with a non-existent server table
Any ideas. If it were corrupt I am assuming I would not be able to view data and use table in production database.
Hi all,
I have created a package to copy 10 tables from a database to another one. I have created a datasource with SQL Authentication mode. And it couldn't run until I changed the datasource connection to Windows Authentication mode. How could it be like that, it's just the authentication mode?
Is there anyone have the right answer for this situation?
What is the best way to transfer data from the staging table into the main table.
Example:
Staging Table Name: TableA_satge (# of rows - millions)
Main Table Name: TableA_main (# of rows - billions)
Note: Staging table may have some data same as the main table.
Currently I am doing:
- Load data into staging table (TableA_stage)
- Remove any duplication of rows from the staging table (TableA_stage)
- Disable all indexes on main table (TableA_main)
- Insert into main table (TableA_main) from staging table (TableA_stage)
- Remove any duplication of rows from the main table using CTE (TableA_main)
- Rebuild indexes on main_table (TableA_main)
The problem with the above method is that, it takes a lot of time and log file size grows very big.
Is it possible/advisable when transfering very large amounts of data from server to server to:
trasnfer the data to a new table first
second alter new table adding indexes, defaults, ets based on original table
if it is what flow item would be used to transfer/alter the indexes and defaults?
I'm very new to ssis so the more detail you can give the better.
Thanks
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.Database = sourceDB;

I have read the previous threads on the bugs with this task mainly: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1438968&SiteID=1 . These are great posts that helpmed me avoid wasting time. I haven't seen one yet that addresses copying an entire database including the sql server logins.
I would like to import the ENTIRE database from one (2005) server to another(2005) using the SSIS Transfer SQL Object task (not just sprocs,tables,views and functions). I have figured out how to pull the tables,views,sprocs and functions ... by using an execute sql task to drop these objects. But I cannot get this to work for users since the user dbo cannot be dropped and guest can only be disabled. I am creating a new database (this is the database where the sql objects will be copied to) via management studio to test this. There has to ba a way to get this working ... Microsoft must have published some sort of KB article on this task or a Script Task using SMO object calls. If need be I can drop the entire database on the target machine and have SSIS recreate it.
The only reason I'm willing to take a risk with SSIS rather than backup and restore is because of time constraints (I assume the SSIS task is faster) and backup storage administration.
