I have a package that contains multiple SEQUENCE CONTAINERS,
each execute a bunch of tasks. I try to use the script task to dynamically
disable or enable each of these SEQUENCE CONTAINERS base on parameters that pass
in from parent package, but for some reason, I can€™t set the disable value to
True/False at runtime. Anyone knows how to do this?
Has anyone ever seen this issue?
If i place a loop container inside a sequence container the connectors within the loop container disappear.... is this a bug - will the loop tasks still run in the correct order?? or will they fire off willy nilly??
i am trying to insert data into a table and roll back if this fails. What i have done is created an Execute SQL task with a SQL statement of BEGIN TRANS .. if the constraint = success then it goes to a Sequence Conatiner that amoungst other thing includes an Execute SQl task that does INSERT statement . outsied of the container i have 2 execute sql tasks that to a COMMIT TRANS ond a ROLLBACK Trans . when executing it i get an error the Rollback Transaction request has no corrasponding Begin tranaction. I have seen this in a SSIS created by one of the Wizards and it works fine, im oviously missing something fundemental .. any pointers ?

hi people, i have crashed on a this problem. I have a sequence container and on this container I have set "FailPackageOnFailure=true". Now in this container there are 2 tasks. The first one is preceeding the second one. Now both this task have set "FailParentOnFailure=true". Both task are the same and their purpose is to drop table A.
1) I run the package and it fails, because there is no table to drop.
2) I create the table manualy and run package again.
3) I see, that the first task is beeing just SIMPLE OMMITED and the second task runs
In general, everytime any task in a sequence container invokes failure, next time is beeing ommited regardelss of its status. How can this be fixed ? Thanks
I am attempting to open up my ssis integration project but when I try to open up packages it says @ the bottom "Validating Sequence Container" and it just stays there. I cannot click on anything and nothing is responsive. Does anyone know why this is happening?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a package that is going to have roughly 20 sequence containers in it. Each of these containers is going to have the same start task and the same end task. The data flow task(s) in each sequence container will differ. So I was thinking I would create a custom sequence container that would implement the common steps I need in each of my containers. I started to create a task that would inherit from Sequence, but I found that it is sealed. Bummer.
What is involved in creating a sequence task by inheriting from Task? I see that Sequence implements IDtsSequence. But looking at this interface, it seems like I would have to build the logic to execute the workflow contained in my sequence.
Any pointers?

Hi everyone,
Our VB application throws .dtsx on-demand by using Threads. Everything's fine but a little detail:
when it goes to launch a SSIS package with a only task, concretely a Sequence Container task (empty, without tasks inside) fails Prevalidate method.
Attach you the snippet of code:
pkgResults = pkg.Validate(Nothing, Nothing, EventsSSIS, Nothing) -- pkgResults returns me Failure {1}
If pkgResults = DTSExecResult.Success Then
..
..
Validate method, as usual, do EVENTSSSIS.PreValidate event and after that, returns instead of follow raising events.
Perhaps it's mandatory to set one task as a minimum, I don't get the point at all
Any guidance or thought will be welcomed,
Thanks in advance and regards,
I am working with SSIS and use Sequence Conatiners extensively. I have become frustrated enought to stop what I am doing and create this thread in the MSDN SSIS forum.
When working with expanded container objects, constraint objects connecting control objects not in the container can be seen. The control object is hidden (sent ot back) but the constraint objects remain visible (sent to front.)
This is extremely frustrating as the unwanted constraint object can be interacted with and not only interfers with the visual presentation during design, it also allows for unintended changes.
I have implemented SSIS upgrades from MDSN but either haven't implemented the appropriate upgrade or an upgrade doesn't exist for this.
Are there any suggestins or comments that can help me get my sanity back?
Yours,

Hi,
I have a sequence container that contains a bunch of tasks.
I have a failure constraint that goes from the sequence container to execute sql task. The execute sql task then sends out an email upon a failure of the container, which is triggered by the failure of any given task inside the container.
My question is, is there a way to pass a SPECIFIC error message to the execute sql task?? That is, if one of the components inside the sequence container fails, I would like the email message to reflect the error message of that particular component, not just that the container failed, as there are different levels of severity of errors, depending on which component failed.
Thanks much
I have (6) sequence containers, each with a data flow task and script task. The script task renames the file and the data flow uses an OLE DB Source connection to export to a flat file using the Flat File Destination connection.For sI have been unable to move from the 1st sequence container to the 2nd (and the next and so on...). I am trying to do this "on success" (on failure I generate an email notification within each container), but am apparently missing a piece to this because after the sequence container executes, which it does successfully, nothing happens.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am creating a staging database in which I am loading required tables from 2 different sources.
I have 30 different tables to load from source 1 and 10 different tables from source 2.
This is the way I am doing, in Control flow task I am using Sequence container and in that I included the data flow task, the data flow task
has source OLD DB connection from where I select the table and then destination OLE DB connection where I load the data.
So for 30 tables I have one Sequence container with 30 different data flow task and each data flow task has OLE DB source and OLD DB destination.
I wanted to find out if this is the efficient way to do, or if there is any other way to do this.
And for source 2 shall I put in another package or shall I use the same package with different sequence container and follow the same steps
as for Source 1 tables.
Please advice.
Thanks,
I have a sequence container in my Package and this sequence has more than one control flow tasks.
Can I create the checkpoints such that only the failed component inside the sequence container runs again and not the other successful components/tasks in the sequence container?
Il try to disable a containter by an expression but it seems not to work (in VS Debug Mode).
I have an variable defined with int value 1
I use the expression !(@[User::InteresentenAnzahl]>0) to disable the container.
In between i use and select count(*) from table to populate the variable with the record count.
MY problem is - ssis uses always the design time value of the variable and not the runtime value from the variable.
What could be wrong? Is this possible?
I want to disable tasks because my dependency chain require that some later (dependend) tasks need to be executed.
Best Regards

I have a Sequence Container with an Exec SQL Task in it. I can't delete the task or the container. I can't disable them.
Here's how I got there:
I put a Dataflow Task and the Exec SQL Task in the container, then set a precedence constraint. Lots of complaints moving either of them. Managed to delete the Dataflow Task, but now can't do anything.
Any dieas?

I have an SSIS package that is pretty simple.
An Execute SQL task returns one row with two values that are correctly stored into variables.
Based off those two variables, a sequence container is chosen to execute.
That sequence container then does magic. The last step of the container has an execute SQL task that runs and stores the result in a variable - let's call this[User::result] with type Int32.
Based off the value in [User::result] one of two final tasks run. A non zero value executes one task; a zero value executes another. Basically,SOMETHING runs after this.
Simple? I thought so... except Step 4 doesn't work. If I set a post-execute breakpoint on the sequence container, the variables are populated as expected, but nothing else runs. If I add another task to run (without a conditional expression) to run after the sequence container completes, the pre-execute breakpoint shows the data looking exactly as I expect.
Those script tasks are just MessageBox.Show calls and the expression, as you can see, doesn't use variables at all.
I have a sequence container with 2 task into. If one of the tasks alert a failure then the sequence container should alert a failure too, but it doesn't. For testing I forced the error with setting the attribute ForceExecutionResult to Failure for one of the tasks. The task fails, but the sequence container succeeds.
I tried:
- changed the Precedence Constraints from AND to OR between the 2 tasks into the sequence container
- changed the attribute FailPackageOnFailure setting True
- changed the attribute FailParentOnFailure setting True
but nothing happened.
Hi,
I have a package with 3 different tasks.
Like:
1. Execute Sql Task
2. Execute Sql Task
3. Execute Sql Task
4. Execute Sql Task
ESQL1 will get max(id) from table and then based on the ID the remaining needs to be work.
Ex:
If the ID=AUS-Sdy-1
then ESQL2 will update the tbl1 and return one IDkey based on this return key the ESQL3 will
update a tbl2. ----------*( i want to disable ESQL4)
else
If the ID=AUS-Sdy-2
then ESQL3 will update the tbl1 and return one IDkey based on this return key the ESQL4 will
update a tbl2. ----------- *(i want to disable ESQL2)
Thanks

Just wondering.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a parameter for each field that lets me know if a field can be sorted or not.
What I want to be able to do is turn on or off interactive sorting for that column based on that parameters value.
In the dialog you have a check box that says enable interactive sorting. When that is clicked it appears that you get the two arrows no matter what you put in the expression.
I have tried
=IIF(allowSorting,Fields!myColumn.Value,"")
and
=IIF(allowSorting,Fields!myColumn.Value,Nothing)
but both result in the arrows still being there, just the sort doesn't work.
Is it possible to put an expression on the sort arrows appearing at all?
This task or container has failed, but because FailPackageOnFailure property is FALSE, the package will continue. This warning is posted when the SaveCheckpoints property of the package is set to TRUE and the task or container fails.
I have just spotted the message above in one of my log files.
I've never noticed it before. Is it new in SP1? I'm guessing it must be.
If so - good job. This is a very important addition because the behaviour of checkpoints without setting FailPackageOnFailure=TRUE is not intuitive (in my opinion).

I've created an SSIS package that contains a Sequence Container with TransactionOption = Required. Within the container, there are a number of Execute Package Task components running in a serial fashion which are responsible for performing "Upserts" to dimension and fact tables on our production server. The destination db configuration is loaded into each of these packages using an XML configuration file. The structure of these "Upsert" packages are nearly identical, while some execute correctly and others fail. Those that fail all provide the same error messages.
These messages appear during Pre-Execute
[Insert new dimension record [1627]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "DW" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Insert new dimension record" (1627) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C.
... which are followed by
[Connection manager "DW"] Error: The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D00A "Unable to enlist in the transaction.".
[Connection manager "DW"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8004D00A.
While still in debug mode, I can check the properties of the "DW" connection and successfully test the connection within the packages that fail.
The same packages run successfully when tested outside the container (i.e. no transaction) or when the configuration file is modified to point the "DW" connection to a development version of the db which is running on the same server as the source database.
I have successfully used DTCtester to verify that transactions from source to destination server are working correctly. Also tried setting DelayValidation = True with no change. I have opened a case with Microsoft and am awaiting a reply so I thought I'd throw a post out here to see if anyone else has encountered this and might have a resolution. Here's some more on the environment:
Source Server:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1
SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition SP0
Destination Server:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1
SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP3 (clustered)
Thank you in advance for any feedback you might be able to provide.

Hello,
I think I've found a bug.
I have an expression set on the 'Disable' property of a data-flow task. When the expression evaluates to true the data-flow still executes. That seems wrong to me.
I ahve a demo package here: http://folders.live.com/self.aspx/VQ9oHa1TJjc/Public/SSIS%20Stuff/ExamplePackages/20070717%20Expression%20on%20Disable%20property%20has%20no%20effect/Package1.zip
Please reply letting me know whether this is indeed a bug or not.
I'm on SP1 by the way.

hello guys,
I am having trouble with using disable property in the expression for data flow task. Here is the issue as explained below-
lets say i have 3 tables TableA, TableB, TableC from which i need to export data. So i create a table (TableList) where I save these table names and a unique id to these tables. e.g.
TableList will have-
TableName TableID
TableA 1
TableB 2
TableC 3
in the ssis package select these tableNames & Ids from tableList in Execute SQL Task. And assign the result set to a variable object (@TableList.
Then i use For Each Loop Container (For Each ADO Enumerator) , to loop through these tablesnames & iDs
Inside this loop container, i define three data flow tasks one for each table. So i have DataFlowTaskA (For TableA), DataFlowTaskB(For TableB), DataFlowTaskC (For TableC).
Now for a given table selected in the iteration, only the corresponding DataFlow Task should be exeuted. e.g. For the 1st iteration, if TableA is selected then only DataFlowTaskA should be executed and DataFlowTaskB& C should be skipped.
In order to achieve this, I am using a 3 variable @FlagA, @FlagB, @FlagC (type Boolean) one for each Table. and use the value of these flags for the "Disable" property of the data flow task (so @FlagA will be used for Disable property in the Expression for Data FlowTaskA, and so on..)
SotThe First Step inside the Loop, I use Script Task. (Input for the script task: read variable is @TableID and Read/Write varaibles are these 3 flags)
In this script task, I initialize these flags to true or false appropriately. So this is what i do
If (Dts.Variables("TableID").Value.ToString = "1") Then
Dts.Variables("@FlagA").Value = False
Else
Dts.Variables("@FlagA").Value = True
End If
If (Dts.Variables("TableID").Value.ToString = "2") Then
Dts.Variables("@FlagB").Value = False
Else
Dts.Variables("@FlagB").Value = True
End If
So in the 1st iteration, (if TableA comes) @FlagA=False and B&C will be True.
So the Disable property for DataFlowTask will be set false and for others it will be set to True. Thus, only DataFlowTaskA will be executed.
And this action should be repeated for each input table. this is the logic.
However only for the 1st iteration(say TableA is selected) it behaves as above. i.e. DataFlowTaskA is executed and DataFlowTaskB & C are skipped. But in the 2nd iteration(say TableB is selected) , it again executes DataFlowTaskA and doesnt exeute B & C (where it should have executed B & skipped A&C).
I do set daelay validation to true for all these but it still it doesnt working as expected. Even I checked the values for all the flags for each iteration and they seem to get the correct values. But somehow Diable propery in the expression not behaving as it should.
Am i missing anything. Do i need to set any other property to make this work.
I apprecite any help.
Thanks
Can the WaitForMe Task property be used for building eventing based tasks (that is, "tasks with no defined execution lifecycle"), as Haselden's IS book terms it?
The SSIS run-time would appear to never interrogate this property.
I tried setting a breakpoint in a custom task on the WaitForMe
property. The breakpoint was never hit at run-time. Design-time only. It seems that the run-time ignores this property.
The documentation states that "On completion of any task, the runtime examines tasks that are still running in
the container, and if any of these tasks have WaitForMe set to
false, those tasks will be canceled." Well, the tasks with WaitForMe set to false are in fact not cancelled (e.g. System::CancelEvent is not signalled).
The intention of the WaitForMe Task property is to allow for event based tasks to not prevent a package (or other container) from finishing if the event never happens.
Tasks like the WMI Event Watcher, Message QueueTask set to receive, and third party tasks like file watchers, or service broker queue receivers would seem to fall in this category.
You can set the default value of a reporting services parameter by any expression.
But with code I'm NOT allowed to do:
Parameters!myParam.Value = CDate("01.01.2007")
This is cause Value property is read-only.
So the question would be:
Are there any way I set a parameter value in runtime ?
Hope anyone can help...
Hi all
I have a flat file.I am trying to set the value for the property "HeaderRowsToSkip" during runtime.I have set an expression for this in my "flat file connection manager". But this is not working.The connection manager is not able to take the value during runtime.
My expression is as follows:
DataRowsToSkip : @[user:: Var]
where "Var" is my variable which gets the value from the rowcount component and trying to set it back to the "HeaderRowsToskip" property.
I ve even tried setting the value to the "HeaderRowsToSkip" property in the expression builder.
Its not working....
Can anyone help me out in solving this????
Thanks in advance

I am having problems exporting data into a flat file using specific code page. My application has a variable "User::CodePage" that stores code page value (936, 950, 1252, etc) based on the data source. This variable is assigned to the CodePage property of desitnation file connection using Property expression.
But, when I execute the package, the CodePage property of the Destination file connection defaults to the initial value that was set for "User:CodePage" variable in design mode. I checked the value within the variable during runtime and it changes correctly for each data source. But, the property of the destinatin file connection doesn't change and results in an error.
[Flat File Destination [473]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Column01" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The ProcessInput method on component "Flat File Destination" (473) failed with error code 0xC02020A0. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running.
If I manually update the variable with correct code page and re-run the ETL, everything works fine. Just that it doesn't work during run-time mode.
Can someone please help me resolve this.
Thanks much.
Hi,
I developed a simple custom control flow component which has several read/write properties and one readonly property (lets call it ROP) whichs Get method simple returns the value of a private variable (VAR as string). In the Execute method the VAR has a value assigened. When I put the value of ROP or VAR into MsgBox I can see the correct value. However when I execute the component I can not see the value of the ROP in the property window. I see the property but its value is empty string. For example when I put a breakpoint to postexecute or check the property before click OK in a MsgBox I would expect that the property value would be updated in SSIS as well. Is there a way how to display correct values of custom tasks properties in property window?
Thanks for any hints.
Untill recently I had a smooth running SSIS package,but suddenly it throws error syaing
"OnError,,,,,,,The result of the expression
"@[User:trTextFileImpDirectory] +"SomeTextStringHere"+ @[User:trANTTextFileName] +(DT_STR,30,1252) @[User:taging_Date_Key]+ "SomeTextStringHere"
" on property "ConnectionString" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the property."
I have child SSIS package running under a parent package (through execute package task)
I have few flat file connection managers in child package for text file import , in which I am building text file path dynamically at run time by assigning an expression in connection string property of connection manager.
The Expression is as follows
"@[User:trTextFileImpDirectory] +"SomeTextStringHere."+ @[User:trANTTextFileName] +(DT_STR,30,1252) @[User:taging_Date_Key]+ +"SomeTextStringHere"
Where @[User:trTextFileImpDirectory] is a variable which contains path of directory containg text
files.Value in this variable is assigned at runtime from parent package's variable,which in turns fetch
value from a configuration file on local server.
With my current configuration this path has been configured to some other server's directory over network ( I.e my package picks text files from some other servers folder over network)
While
"Some string here"+ @[User:trANTTextFileName]" part of file name string.
(DT_STR,30,1252) @[User:taging_Date_Key] Contain the date of processing ,value in this variable is also picked up at run time from parent package variable.
1) So can someone give me some insight into possible reason of failures.
2) Is it possible that problem arises if directory (from which I m picking text files) is assigned password or is there exist some problem in accessing forlders over network ?
3) Or there can be some problem in package configuration at design time( I.e where I m assigning value in variable from parent package vriables)?
Hi,
I am having a Data flow task in For each loop which will gets 100 sourcetable names and 100 target table names...
am having a simpleData flow task which trasferes from OLEDBSource to OLEDBDestination.
I am repeating the Dataflow task which transfers from sourcetablename extracted from for loop to a destination table var.
The problem am gettting is for the first table it is able to transfer correcly because I did mapping for those tables at design time...but for the next coming sourcetable-desttable (which r having different no of cols,datatypes) its giving Validation failed...and...needs to refresh metadata....
is there any way to refresh the metadata of Data flow task (I set the property of OLEDBSource validate external meta to false then also same error is coming)

Hello,
I have a group I'll call G4.
The header table row for G4 contains 3 textboxes containing the sums of the contents within G4. The header table row for G4 is visible while it's contents, including the G4 footer table row, is kept invisible until the report user drills down into the group.
When the report user drills down into G4 the footer table row becomes visible and the sums of the contents of the group are displayed for a second time.
At this point I want the sums in the header to be set to invisible when the sums in the footer are made visible by the drilldown.
When I try to reference the hidden property of textbox66 in the G4 footer in order to set the hidden property of header textbox57 in the G4 header I get to this point...
=IIF(reportitems!textbox66.
When it fails to give me an option of choosing the .Hidden property and instead only gives me a .Value.
If I complete the IIF statement manually so that it spells out .....
=IIF(ReportItems!Textbox66.Hidden = False, True, False)
...the report chokes on it.
So my question is, how do I reference the hidden property of one or more textboxes in a group to use as condition checks to set the hidden property of another textbox in that same group?
Thank you for any help you can provide. We are only now beginning to implement reporting services and I have not yet had the chance to research this in greater detail for lack of time.
I have an execute sql task that uses the following query: (modified for this thread but normally its going to return all records in the table)

'LastName' AS 'Parameter/name',
LastName AS 'Parameter/value'
FROM ParkingUpload
WHERE primaryid = '1234' or primaryid = '4321'
FOR XML PATH('T2Method')

That xml is stored in a user variable in the Execute SQL Task. I need to take that user variable and send out that xml to a webservice. The web service is expecting one record at a time(a new record is defined by the <T2Method> node.
So question is, does my approach seem fine so far? I was wondering if my next step should be to put this variable in a For Each Container and send out one record at a time to the webservice. If so, how would I go about doing that?
If anyone else has a different suggestion as how to approach this, or be able to help with the For Each portion (I am brand new to SSIS), I would really appreciate it.
Hello Experts,
Sorry that I open a new thread again but I didn€™t found any good tutorials about foreach loop container. I would like to read every row from one table and do something.
