Msdtssrvr.ini.xml FileSystemFolder Type - ConfiguraStorePath And StorePath On A SAN

Aug 31, 2006

Hi,

We have configured the ServiceConfigFile registry entry to point to an additional SSIS configuration file, which is stored on a SAN, our packages are also stored on this SAN (Storage Area Network).

When I restart the SSIS Service, MSDB and any FileSystemFolder are totally gone...

Does the location of the configuration and / or the FileSystemFolder Folder's need to be on the local machine? or can you use file share's?

If so, How would you reccommend deploying to the file system where SSIS is configured as a clustered service?

We have attempted using the SAN as well as creating file shares on the SAN with no success.

Thanks in advance,

Garnet

MsDtsSrvr.exe Memory Leak?

Aug 1, 2006

In our current environment, we are running about 10,000 packages per day on a given 64 bit SSIS server.

The MSDtsSrvr.exe (SSIS service) process' memory working set size continues to grow until it consumes the memory on the machine.

Some of the packages do use a custom component. Could this be responsible for leaking memory in the MSDtsSrvr.exe process? Has a memory leak been confirmed in this process for the "first-party" components anyway?

Problem With MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml Config

May 13, 2006

All,

I have changed the location of the MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml file and the same updated the changed location in registry key SOFTWAREMicrosoftMSDTSServiceConfigFile.

After making the changes I restarted SSIS. When I tried viewing stored packages using SQL Server Management studio, I was not able to see File System folder or MSDB folder

When I checked error log, the below message was recorded.

"Microsoft SSIS Service configuration file does not exist.
Loading with default settings."

Does any body know why it happens.

Updating MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml For Named Instance

Dec 20, 2007

I've read how I need to update MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml to replace "." with the name of my named instance. For example, in the script below I replaced "." with "MYSERVERNAMEMYINSTANCENAME". When I connect to Integration Services do I specify the named instance in the connection string or the default instance? I'm unable to connect specifying the named instance.

<StopExecutingPackagesOnShutdown>true</StopExecutingPackagesOnShutdown>
<TopLevelFolders>
<Folder xsi:type="SqlServerFolder">
<Name>MSDB</Name>
<ServerName>MYSERVERNAMEMYINSTANCENAME</ServerName>
</Folder>
<Folder xsi:type="FileSystemFolder">
<Name>File System</Name>
<StorePath>..Packages</StorePath>
</Folder>
</TopLevelFolders>
</DtsServiceConfiguration>

Thanks, Dave

Need An Explanation Of Msdtssrvr.ini.xml And Named Instances

Apr 30, 2008

We've read about a single installation of SSIS applies to all SQL instances on a server. We've also read how by default SQL Server stores SSIS packages in the MSDB database on the default instance and if you want to have packages stored on a named instance you must modify msdtssrvr.ini.xml. Here are our questions.

1 - If msdtssrvr is modified to reference a named instance, such as <ServerName>SQLTESTINST1<ServerName>, when I connect to Integration Services through Management Studio do I still specify the default instance name in the login window? That's the only way we have been able to connect and despite specifying the default instance name, the packages displayed are those of the named instance.

2 - If I am correct that you must always specify the default instance name when connecting to Integration Services, then in order to eliminate confusion regarding what SQL instance's SSIS packages I am viewing under the folder structure I can create SQL Server folders by modifying msdtssrvr.ini.xml. For example:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DtsServiceConfiguration xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<StopExecutingPackagesOnShutdown>true</StopExecutingPackagesOnShutdown>
<TopLevelFolders>
<Folder xsi:type="SqlServerFolder">
<Name>MSDB</Name>
<ServerName>.</ServerName>
</Folder>
<Folder xsi:type="SqlServerFolder">
<Name>MSDB-INST1</Name>
<ServerName>SQLTESTINST1</ServerName>
</Folder>
<Folder xsi:type="SqlServerFolder">
<Name>MSDB-INST2</Name>
<ServerName>SQLTESTINST2</ServerName>
</Folder>
<Folder xsi:type="FileSystemFolder">
<Name>File System</Name>
<StorePath>..Packages</StorePath>
</Folder>
</TopLevelFolders>
</DtsServiceConfiguration>


I then restart the SSIS service and can now see the following folder structure.

Running Packages
Stored Packages

+ File System
+ MSDB
+ MSDB-INST1
+ MSDB-INST2

If I expand MSDB-INST1 I will only see packages saved on the instance named INST1. The same is true for INST2. If I expand MSDB I will only see packages saved on the default instance.

Does this sound like I am doing things correctly?

Thanks, Dave

Float Type Steals My Decimal Points And Money Type Kills My Query

Mar 28, 2008

Happy Friday!
A while since I have posted a question, and this one is probably real easy.
I am trying to store numeric values from a php form in MSSQL 2000 database. However, the columns are set to float and if the value is 1.00, when entered into the table it is saved as 1

If I change the column type to money, the query fails, with an error message of conversion of datatype varchar to datatype money statement terminated.

anybody know what I need to do? do I need to do something in my query to specify that this is NOT varchar data?

That way, when the table column is changes, I would not have to change my stored proc.

Implement Time Interval Type In Form Of User Defined Type

Dec 7, 2011

Implement time interval type in the form of a user defined type in SS2k8r2? Specifically an interval type described in the book Temporal Data and the Relational Model by C. J. Date at all. As an example, an interval is below:

1/4/2006:1/10/2006

which would mean the time period from 1/4 to 1/10.

Bulk Insert Task Failing On Data Type Conversion For A Destination Column Of Type Bit

Jul 6, 2006

I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.

I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.

I hope someone can help me work through this.

Thanks in advance,

SK

I Really Need A Debate! Type - Attributes Vs Super Type - Sub Types

Apr 22, 2004

I have extensively revied both of the design methodologies and I cannot come up with a single clear reason to use one over the other!

Type - Attributes is where you have a table holding the type categories, type, a table holding the type attributes expected and then a table holding the type attribute value:


tbAutombbileCategories
CategoryID | Category
-------------------------------
1 | Car
2 | Truck
3 | Motorcycle

tbAutomobileAttributes
AttributeID | fkCategoryID | Attribute
-------------------------------------------
1 | 1 (car) | Doors
2 | 2 (truck) | Cab
3 | 2 (truck) | Capacity

tbAutomobile
VIN | Category | Make | Model
-------------------------------------
1 | 1 | Honda | Accord
2 | 2 | Ford | F150

tbAutomobileAttributeValues
fkVIN | fkAttributeID | Value
---------------------------------
1 | 1 | 2
2 | 1 | 0
2 | 2 | 1000


Now the above sure is flexible in the sence that a type of automobile can be added without affecting the database schema, but was if some attributes do not take a numeric value? How do you handle computations on attributes specific attributes? Why would I use this structure as opposed to the super type - sub type as shown below?


tbCategories
CategoryID | Category
--------------------------
1 | Cars
2 | Trucks

tbAutomobile (Super Type)
VIN | fkCategoryID | Make | Model
-------------------------------------
1 | 1 |Honda | Accord

tbCars
fkVIN | Doors |
-----------------
1 | 2

tbTrucks
fkVIN | Cab | Capacity
---------------------------
2 | 0 | 1000


Now, adding new sub types probably isn't very flexible but, now you can specify data types for each attribute instead of using sql_variant, which by the documentation cannot be used in aggregate functions and may render poor result when used with ADO.

Regardless of the method used, alot of back end coding is required for computations, what table to send the attributes, etc...

Can anyone please help me clarify. What method is best and why. So far I am leaning for option 2. More work but seems to be more flexible in the sence of customization of each datatype.

E.G., what if you wanted to specify attributes about the cap that can be supplied to trucks?


tbTrucks
fkVIN | Cab | Capacity | fkCapID
--------------------------------------
2 | Y | 1000 | 1

tbCaps
CapID | Vendor | Price | et....


Any thoughts at all? I thought this would have been a pretty damn hot topic!

Connection Type Limitations When Using XML Data Type In SQL Task

Jul 23, 2007

I'm trying to use the SSIS Execute SQL Task to pull XML from a SQL 2005 database table. The SQL is of the following form:




SELECT
(



SELECT
MT.MessageId 'MessageId',
MT.MessageType 'MessageType',
FROM MessageTable MT
ORDER BY MT.messageid desc
FOR XML PATH('MessageStatus'), TYPE


)
FOR XML PATH('Report'), TYPE

For some reason I can only get this query to work if I use an ADO.NET connection type. If I try to use something like the OLEDB connection I get the following error:



<ROOT><?MSSQLError HResult="0x80004005" Source="Microsoft XML Extensions to SQL Server" Description="No description provided"?></ROOT>



Can anyone tell me why the SELECT ... FOR XML PATH... seems only to work with ADO.NET connections?



Thanks

Dear all,

I am stuck with a SSIS package and I can€™t work out. Let me know what steps are the correct in order to solve this.
At first I have just a Flat File Source and then Script Component, nothing else.

@PARAM1 : Unable To Cast Object Of Type 'System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlInt32 To Type System.IConvertable

Apr 23, 2007

I get the following message in the vs2005 querybuilder when i do a preview:



***********************************
SQL Execution Error.

Executed SQL statement: SELECT Schoolindex, Variant, VVSchool, [index], indincl, VVRuimtes, School FROM School WHERE (Schoolindex = @PARAM1)



Error Source: SQL Server Compact Edition ADO.NET Data Provider


Error Message: @PARAM1 : Unable to cast object of type 'System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlInt32 to type System.IConvertable'.
****************************************

The same querypreview works fine without the parameter:



SELECT Schoolindex, Variant, VVSchool, [index], indincl, VVRuimtes, School FROM School WHERE (Schoolindex = 186)



Can anybody tell me why this is?
And tell me a way to get the tableadapter working?

Index Creation Causes Error The Conversion Of A Char Data Type To A Datetime Data Type Resulted...

Jul 23, 2005

Hi all,I have a table called PTRANS with few columns (see create script below).I have created a view on top that this table VwTransaction (See below)I can now run this query without a problem:select * from dbo.VwTransactionwhereAssetNumber = '101001' andTransactionDate <= '7/1/2003'But when I create an index on the PTRANS table using the command below:CREATE INDEX IDX_PTRANS_CHL# ON PTRANS(CHL#)The same query that ran fine before, fails with the error:Server: Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted inan out-of-range datetime value.I can run the same query by commeting out the AssetNumber clause and itworks fine. I can also run the query commenting out the TransactionDatecolumn and it works fine. But when I have both the conditions in theWHERE clause, it gives me this error. Dropping the index solves theproblem.Can anyone tell me why an index would cause a query to fail?Thanks a lot in advance,AmirCREATE TABLE [PTRANS] ([CHL#] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,[CHCENT] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHYYMM] [numeric](4, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHDAY] [numeric](2, 0) NOT NULL ,[CHTC] [char] (2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOCREATE VIEW dbo.vwTransactionsASSELECT CONVERT(datetime, dbo.udf_AddDashes(REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHCENT)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHCENT) + REPLICATE('0', 4 -LEN(CHYYMM))+ CONVERT(varchar, CHYYMM) + REPLICATE('0', 2 -LEN(CHDAY)) + CONVERT(varchar, CHDAY)), 20) AS TransactionDate,CHL# AS AssetNumber,CHTC AS TransactionCodeFROM dbo.PTRANSWHERE (CHCENT <> 0) AND (CHTC <> 'RA')*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

Convert Ntext Type To XML Type

Dec 6, 2007

 I have a ntext column which stores rows of xml data. Ive decided that the best way to query the xml data is to Convert the ntext data into xml data type and use Sql Server 2005 builtin Xml Query tools to perform FLWOR expressions. The problem Im having is getting the ntext data Converted to xml.When I try to convert the ntext text, I of course get an error that local variables of ntext type are invalid.Any suggestions on a way I might accomplish this?Thanks, -lance

A Text-type Value To A Date-type Value

Apr 2, 2008

Hi
Is it possibly in SqlDataSource's SelectCommad to convert a text-type value to a date-type value (11/1/2008 (text) -> 11/1/2008 (date) ) , so that order by can be used. Or is the other ways to use order by correctly with text-type (date)values
Thanks.

Unable To Cast Object Of Type 'System.String' To Type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Parameter'.

I'm getting this error on a vb.net page the needs to execute two separate stored procedures.  The first one, is the main insert, and returns the identity value for the ClientID.  The second stored procedure inserts data, but needs to insert the ClientID returned in the first stored procedure.  What am I doing wrong with including the identity value "ClientID" in the second stored procedure?

Unable To Cast COM Object Of Type 'ADODB.CommandClass' To Interface Type 'ADODB._Command'

Dec 20, 2006

I have an application which runs successfully on a couple of my customer's machines but fails on a third. It seems to fail when opening the database:

Unable to cast COM object of type 'ADODB.CommandClass' to interface type 'ADODB._Command'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{B08400BD-F9D1-4D02-B856-71D5DBA123E9}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=false; Initial Catalog=lensdb;Data Source = SQL

Before I got this error I was getting another problem (sorry didn't make a copy of that error's text) that made me think that adodb.dll simply wasn't loaded/registered. I got rid of that error by copying my adodb.dll onto the third machine and running gacutil /i. There is now an entry in winntassemblies for adodb.

Just in case you think it could be an obvious registry problem: when I started getting the current error I thought that maybe the registry needed updating and I merged the following lines into onto the target machine (from my dev machine):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

but, no change alas.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Unable To Cast Object Of Type 'System.DBNull' To Type 'System.Byte[]'.

Aug 13, 2007

Hi,
I have developed a custom server control for .NET Framework 2.0. The server control has a property named BinaryData of type byte[]. I marked this property to be data bindable. Now, I have varbinary(Max) type of field in my SQL Database and I have used SQLDataSource and bound this varbinary(Max) field with the property BinaryData (byte[]) of my control. It is working fine as long as the data value is not NULL. Now, In my control, I have handled the NULL value so that no Exception is thrown. Still, when I bind this property using the SQLDataSource, I get Error "Unable to cast object of type 'System.DBNull' to type 'System.Byte[]'." I am not sure if I can do anything to stop this erro within my control. If it is not possible from the control, then what is the workaround that I can do in my ASPX page in order to stop this error ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Converting A Data Type Double To A Type Float Using A Data Adapter &&amp; SSCE 3.5

Feb 13, 2008

Hi,

I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:


this.court0TableAdapter1.Update(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);

this.mycourtsDataSet1.AcceptChanges();

this.court0TableAdapter1.Fill(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);


This did not happen with VS2005/CE3.01.

I have tried changing all references to decimal (or money in CE3.5) without luck.

I'm beginning to think that string may be the way to go!!!!!!!

Can someone shed some light on my problem.

Thanks,

Later:

It's necessary to update the datatable adapter as the 3.01 and 3.5 CE are not compatible.

COnverting Numeric Data Type (Oracle) To Date Data Type Using SSIS

Mar 7, 2007

We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.

I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.

On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :

There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".

Regards

RH
