Easiest Way To List All Data Sources Servers?
Dec 1, 2007
SQL Server RS 2000 SP4
I'm trying to find the easiest way to get a list of every data source on a RS instance, including the name of the SQL Server that the data source points to. We want to make sure none of the data sources point at our primary OLTP server.
I looked at the DataSource table in the ReportServer DB, but of course the connection string info is encrypted. I'm hoping that I don't need to resort to writing .net code to hit the web service.
TIA,
-Peter

I have a report designed in RB3 that uses a data source from a SQL database that is on the report server. I want to add data to the report from an access database an a network drive.
I can add the second data source and create a data set to add data to the report. The dataset query returns data from the Access database but when I run the report I get the following error.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'Feasibility'. (rsError OpeningConnection)
Also when I test the connection to the Access data base I get error ERROR (IM002) (Microsoft)(ODBC Driver Manger) Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
I noticed that Report Builder is connecting to the report server. If I disconnect from the report server I can a can connect to the Access data base but not the SQL database.
How can I get the report to run against both data sources?

Hi I have a situation where i have a drop down list. The user selects a value from it and then a query behind the scenes is generated based on the value from the list. I want the result of the query to be diplayed in the textbox.I've checked a few examples but i don't really have a good understanding of how to generate this query and get the results to the textbox. I think you use the SQLDATASOURCE but still need some help...Can anyone help? Thanks.

Hi, I'm new to SQL Server, and would appreciate some advice on the quickest way to import data from a CSV file.
I've created a database using Visual Web Developer Express, and added a couple of tables. The Help file in SQL Server Express (which is installed on the same PC) indicates that I should use BULK INSERT to populate the table. Only snag is, I could find anywhere to enter the commands! Eventually, I found out about the SQLCMD command which I entered in a Windows Command Window. I successfully connected to the default (SQLEXPRESS) server instance this way, but when I typed USE <my database name> I got an error back saying it couldn't find the database. I know that Visual Web Developer Express by default creates user-specific instances of the database, but I've turned that off (I think!) via the connection string. So, please could someone tell me how I can connect to my database via the SQLCMD command, or alternativley please let me know how else I can bulk inmport data from a CSV file. Many thanks in advance.

I can't get my server to show with the DMO function ListAvailableSQLServers or with the osql -L flag. The OS is windows 2000, but the drive is fat32 and doesn't have Directory Service.
Do you need NTFS to have Directory Service, and does SQL Server need Directory Service to broadcast its available servers?
I've got Visual Studio .Net and had no luck when I searched for an answer.

When registering a new SQL Server in EM using the wizard a window appears that is supposed to list available SQL Servers, however it does not.
So, my question is:
How is this list derived? and how can the list be managed?

I need to periodically import a (HUGE) table of data from an external data source (not SQL Server) into SQL Server, with the following scenarios:
Some of the records in the external data source may not exist in SQL.Some of the records in the external data source may have a different value at different imports, but this records are identified univocally by the same primary key in the external datasource and in SQL Server.Some of the records in the external data source may be the same in SQL.
Due to the massive volume of the import, I would like to import only the records which are different from what I have in SQL Server (cases 1 and 2 above). In fact case 2 is the most critical.
I thought of making a query with a left outer join between the data in the external data source table (SOURCE) and the data in the SQL Server table (DESTIN). The join is done on the respective primary keys (composed keys of up to 10 columns) and one of the WHERE conditions will be that the value in SOURCE is different from the value in DESTIN.
The result of this query would be exactly what I need to import.
How to do this in SSIS??? I couldn't figure out how to join tables in different data sources yet.
In fact I cannot write a stored procedure to do that, since one of the sources is in a datasources not SQL Server.
I have seen the Lookup transformation in this article http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?311 but this is not exacltly what I want to do.
Another possibility is to use the merge join, but due to the sorting I believe its performances would be terrible!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Hi,
I am pretty new to SSIS. I am trying to create a package which can accept data in any of several formats. i.e. CSV, Excel, a SQL Server database/table and import the data into my destination database.
So far i've managed to get this working OK. However I am now TOTALLY stuck. I'm currently trying to just concentrate on the data sources being a CSV (using a Flat File Data Source) and/or an Excel Spreadsheet.
I can get the data in and to my destination using a UNION ALL component and mapping the data sources to it so long as both the CSV file and the Excel spreadsheet exist.
My problem is that I need my package to handle the possibility that only the CSV file might exist and there is no Excel spreadsheet. In which case i'd like the package to ignore the Excel datasource completely. Currently either of my data sources do not exist I get errors and the package terminates.
Is there any way in SSIS that I can check all my data sources to see which ones exist (i.e. are valid). If they exist I want to use them. If it doesn't exist i'd like to disgard it (without error - as long as there is a single datasource the package should run)
I've tried using the AcquireConnection method in a script task on each of my connections, hoping that it would error if the file/datasource did not exist. It doesn't though (in the case of an Excel datasource it just creates a empty excel file for me).
The only other option I can come up with are to have seperate packages depending on the type of data we want to import and then run a particular package depending on the format of the source data. This seems a bit long winded. I am pretty sure I must be able to do what I want to achieve but I can't work out how.
I'll be grateful to anyone who can send me any tips/hints/links on how I can achieve this.
Many thanks

Hi, i'm wondering which is the best way to search data in a SQL Server.
I reach data using Data Sources and Data Views and also with OLE DB Source with a Data access mode: Named query.
I have to write the data into a Flat File. So, does any one knows which is the best practice for this? Or any one of the two are good choices?
Thanks for your help.

Hi all :)
I'm wondering if SSIS will be the solution to the problem I'm working on.
Some of our customers give us an Excel sheet with data they want to insert or update in the database.
I've created a package that will take an Excel sheet, do some data conversion so the data types match up and after that I use a Slowly Changing Data component to create the insert/update commands.
This works great. If a customer adds a new row to the Excel sheet or updates an existing row changes are nicely reflected in the database.
But now I€™ve got the following problem. The column names and the order of the columns in the Excel sheet are not standard and in the future it could happen a customer doesn't even use an Excel sheet but something totally different.
Can I use SSIS for this? Is it possible to let the user set the mappings trough some sort of user interface? I€™ve looked at programmatically creating the package but I€™ve got to say that€™s quit hard to do€¦ It would be easier to write the whole thing myself than to create the package trough code ;)
If not I thought about transforming the data in code before I pass it on to the SSIS package in something like XML. That way I can use standard column names and data types.
So how should I solve this problem? Use SSIS or not?
Thnx :)

I have a group of about 5 servers (which will likely grow toabout 25 in the near future) with their names listed in a table in a database on one of the servers. I want to query all servers in that table using the following query to pull the storage drive, database name, created date, age and size of the databases for each server listed in the table:
SELECT left(mf.Physical_Name,2) AS Storage_Drive,
DB_NAME(mf.database_id) AS DatabaseName,
db.create_Date,
DateDiff(day, db.create_date, getDate()) Age,
sum((mf.size*8))/1024 SizeMB
[Code] ...
How would I best accomplish this if I want to implement it using a TSQL procedure?

Hi there,
On my home page I have several different folders to reports which require different data sources. the problem is that within these folders there are multiple copies of the same datasource. is it possible to store all of the datasources in one folder, one location? it would certainly be easier when changes to usernames and passwords need to be modified!
Thanks,
Rhonda

I searched and read about Data Sources and I'm seeing that there is no advantage in using it, which is what I found from playing around with it.
I expected that you would set a global connection in Data Sources and somehow link this to the things in your Connection Manager, giving you one place to switch from one environment to another. But reading the discussions here and playing around with it, this is not the case.
So, why is it there?
Next question.... another thing I gathered so far is something called "Configurations" that will do what I was describing above. Where do I do this?

Also in the letter we want to include the student's total number of credits awarded and overall GPA.

Hi guys,
I manage to get the SSIS working. Now I would need to do these tasks.
I first want to get data from 2 different sql servers. What would be the best method to accomplish this? Both are in Sql Server 2005.
Secondly I want to make sure if any of the servers couldn't be found on the network or in any case the getting data task failed for any one of them the package won't continue and an email should be send to an email address.
Thirdly If everything is ok then I should combine both and generate one sequence no for them and save them on to another location and then generate a file with modified values.
Can anyone help me regarding these tasks?
Thank you
Gemma

In brief, here is my quandary… I have a GridView on a page with some radio buttons, a couple of check boxes, some drop downs etc. And depending on what the user selects the Grid View needs to show different columns from the database…
The easiest way I have found to do this is to have a separate Data Object for each “view�, i.e. each variation of the checkboxes and radio buttons (which determine which dropdowns to use for the variables) and then bind the GridView to the specific Data Source at runtime…
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I have over 7 different data connections cluttering up the design view, and more to come and I feel like I am missing a better way to achieve the same results…
Does anyone have some advice for a major novice?
Here’s the beginning of a large set of nested ifs, if this is the way it’s done that’s fine too, I’ll just keep creating data sources, I just get the feeling there must be an easier way to do this..
protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue == "Vendor") {
if (CheckBox1.Checked == true) {
GridView2.DataSourceID = "ObjectDataSource4";
GridView2.DataBind();
TextBox1.Text = "Search";
} else {
GridView2.DataSourceID = "ObjectDataSource1";
GridView2.DataBind();
TextBox1.Text = "Search";
}
} else if (RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue == "Store Number")
{ GridView2.DataSourceID = "ObjectDataSource2";
GridView2.DataBind();}
else {
GridView2.DataSourceID = "ObjectDataSource3";
GridView2.DataBind();
TextBox1.Text = "Search";
}
}
Any advice for a major novice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
