I have multiple data source text files with different names , file extensions and format , i need to bring the data into SQL tables for temporary holding of data. Once i bring the data into table i need to identify some fields using substring and then after cleansing at table level command. Once thats done i need to convert those tables back into text file with comma delimited join those tables and bring a different output.
Problem i am facing is if i have one data flow task then the first source file bring the data into table which is destination , but how to convert the data back using those tables back in to text file.
basically when i create one source file which is text file becomes source of data flow task and when convert those files into tables becomes destination. but when i need to bring the data back into a different format , the tables which were destination needs to become source.
Do i need to create a multiple data flow task or is their any other way i could work out.
Is there documentation somewhere about multiple execution paths in SSIS control flow? I didn't find documentation anywhere. I have a situation where I have two tasks that take considerable time, but could be executed in parallel (to speed up things) and I was wondering whether SSIS supports parallelism.
To illustrate the issues in simultaneous execution, I created a test SSIS package. In the package, I have five tasks, let's call them T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5. The taks are connected with "green arrows" like this:
T1->T2
T1->T3
T2->T4
T3->T4
T5 is not connected. The tasks can be e.g. Send Mail tasks, that's not relevant to this issue. I put a breakpoint in each task and execute the package.
When I execute package, T1 and T5 become active, i.e. the arrow that displays where the package execution currently is, is in two tasks simultaneously. Now F10 (step over) doesn't seem to work "Unable to step. Not implemented". If I press F5 nothing happens. After I press F5 for a second time tasks T1 and T5 and executed. Why don't they execute with the first pressing of F5? I would additionally like to know whether these two tasks are executed in parallel or sequentially, i.e. in the same thread or in two threads? Is there documentation of this?
The execution stops at T2&T3. Again, pressing F5 doesn't do anything, but the second time I press F5 T2 and T3 are executed.
Scenarion: 1.- SSIS Package execute tasks on 2000 SQL Server Database 2.- Execution takes places using Business Intelligence Studio Question: 1.- How can I tracked that SQl 2000 tasks took place using a SSIS Package?
I have a parent package "A", I also have 4 child packages "B","B1","B2",B3" In BIDS, I created a file connection in the package "A" to connect to the child packages. So whenever I want to run B1 or B2, I change the path in the file connection to point to B1 or B2 and so on. Since the developement environment is File system this works perfectly fine.
But in the Test / Production environment all packages are stored in the Sql server. How can I paramaterize the child package connection so that I can use configuration / variables to select which child package to execute.
I think not. Microsoft says it is possible: one for parallel and one for serial execution. Don't believe that's possible for a stored procedure to change execution plans on the fly. Have an on-going problem with timeout occurring with an application and narrowed the culprit to a stored procedure. I couldn't find any obvious issues database wise, no locks, etc. so I recompiled (altered) the sproc without making any changes and the issue cleared for a couple days.
It happened again to day, and so I recompiled (altered) the sproc and it went away again. No code changes to both application (so they say) and stored procedure. I ran the below code snippet to check for sprocs with multiple cached plans and the offending one came up on a short list. So, my question is, Is it one sproc per query plan or can there be more than one. I understand the connection issues.
I have a SSIS package developed by a different user which does a lot of DML. This package sits on the server.
The package needs to be executed on a regular basis.
I have given RO access for a regular user on production DB, he is executing the package from his client desktop.
I was expecting this execution fail, since the package is doing lot of INSERTS , where the user has ONLY RO access.
I understand from the above experience that there is an “execution context� for SSIS execution. Can someone tell me how can I define the execution context for SSIS?
------------------------ I think, therefore I am - Rene Descartes
I have been using SSIS now for quite sometime and over teh past month when i open for edit or execute a package SSIS just seems to go away and wait for about 10 minutes before opening or starting the execution.
I have defragmented my drive, i have monitored cpu usage and it just looks like it is not doing anything at all.
I am running windows xp connecting to windows 2003 servers with sql server 2005.
Has anyone else experienced this and can anyone help?
when using lookup i am geting the following warning.our OLEDB connection is Oracle.how to resolve this will this have any performance impact.
[Lookup [14342]] Warning: Cannot retrieve the column code page info from the OLE DB provider. If the component supports the "DefaultCodePage" property, the code page from that property will be used. Change the value of the property if the current string code page values are incorrect. If the component does not support the property, the code page from the component's locale ID will be used.
Which is the best way to execute SSIS packages? I have no problem to use dtexec command but I want it to run every night. Is this going to be done through the SQL Server (SQL Server Agent under Jobs)? Is the type going to be Operating System (CmdExec) or Transact Sql? How exactly is the command written there?
I'm experiencing a stuck SSIS package that I'm developing. The package reads about 9915 rows and then it juts stops processing, all the boxes in the data flow task remains yellow and it would not proceed.
I have another similar package but it does not get stuck.
Hi all, I am Hazara. I am trying to call a SSIS package from a web service. But package.execute() method is returning 'failure'. Though I am able to execute the same package from a normal .Net project and it is working fine (using the same code that i have used in web service).
I have also tried to execute it through stored procedure for which firstly I created a .dll in c#(which is perfectly working) and then I registered this .dll in sqlserver-2005 using following command.
CREATE ASSEMBLY asmPackageExecuter FROM 'C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727PackageExecuter.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE GO Now on calling the method of .dll (which is responsible to execute the package) I am getting the DTSExecResult as 'success' but data is not getting transfered from one able to other as was expected from the package.
Please help me. I have searched it everywhere on net but didn't get any solution. I want to execute package only through web-service or stored-procedure
I have an SSIS package which is used to import various different files.
When I run the package directly through the Visual Studio, it works fine, with no problems.
However, when I call the package through within a Visual Basic application, it returns "success" but when I check the database, nothing has been imported!!
I know this is prolly an old one but I would certainly appreciate some assistance =)
environment:
SERVER (IIS6, .NET2.0, SQL2005)
CLIENT (WIN2000,IE6,VBScript)
I have an aspx that is invoking ado on the clientside. I read somewhere that javascript does not support connecting to SQL clientside. I may be wrong. In any case I am using VBScript on the client.
I am using something like this to invoke the script
I have a requirement where in i have around 15 different flat files , filenames are fixed but folder path can be changed(i think i should use a variable for folder path). These 15 files data should go to their respective tables in the database.
Whether I need to create separate data flow task for each file or separate package? In addition to these, example : while importing product data into product table, if product ID already exists, we need to ignore it and upload only the new records.
I have a couple of hundred flat files to import into database tables using SSIS.
The files can be divided into groups by the format they use. I understand that I could import each group of files that have a common format at the same time using a Foreach Loop Container.
However, the example for the Foreach Loop Container has multiple files all being imported into the same database table. In my case, each file needs to be imported into a different database table.
Is it possible to import each set of files with the same format into different tables in a simple loop? I can't see a way to make a Data Flow Destination item accept its table name dynamically, which seems to prevent me doing this.
I suppose I could make a different Data Flow Destination item for each file, in the Data Flow. Would that be a reasonable solution, or is there a simpler solution, or should I just resign myself to making a separate Data Flow for every single file?
I need help from you. I am working on SSIS packages for ETL purpose. The version of SQL Server i am using is SQL Server 2005.
In Brief , the working of current ETL is as follows.
In ODS database i have 2 tables i.e Table_A & Table_B which gets loaded from another 2 staging tables A & B. And using this 2 tables data will be loaded into a target table i.e Trg_A.
The ETL packages are executed by stored procedures by creating a job within the stored procedure.
The loading of the trg table is little tricky. Before that loading of Table_A is implemented in a single SSIS package. and loading of Table_B is been implemented in another SSIS package.
In the trg table there are two columns which will be getting updated as and when each table is loaded. so for the first time if i run the package which is resposible for loading Table_A, it loads values into Table_A and once done it will updates (col1) in the target table.
Once after the complete of the execution of Package1. Now i will kick off the second ssis package which loads the data into Table_B and updates the trg table's columns (col2).
Now the actual problem what i am facing is:
For loading Table_A and updating the col1 in Trg table i will be receving more than 5 excel file every month on weekly basis. I cannot even gather all the files and run using a For-Loop counter. So presently i am loading data excel file per week .
Similarly loading of table_B.
For a week if i am executing both the packages which loads the Table_A and updates the Trg(col1) and Table_B and updates Trg(col2), then i am getting a Deadlock Error and the entire ETL is getting messed up.
Now my requirement is , Eventhough the 2 packages are run in parallel , there could certain milli seconds time difference while start of the execution in Job Monitor. I need to implement a Queing Mechanism which takes care of running the packages in a sequential manner rather than in parallel. i .e i need to ensure only one SSIS package is running in Job Monitor. Only after successful execution of either one the package, then only the second package should start its execution.
If we can implement such a queing mechanism , then my problem is solvedl.
I need some suggestions on this regard in implementing the Queing mechanism in a programatic approach using SQL Server Job Related MetaData Tables. or else is there in server parameter or initialization parameters which can be set at Database level which suffice my requirement.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Looking for sincere comments on this regards.
This not a problem but here i wan to give u my some trial on package execution from C# code.
i just want to make sure whether this is right way or not?
I need to upload some processed text file into table using SSIS packages. I m calling these packages in runtime for different source text files passed to it.
I first created package on my machine and deployed packages on Sql server using default protection level. So when i m tryng to execute it from integration services it wont work giving some exception in AquireConnectionCall() , its coz all the sensitive information is stroed inside package is not available to that machine.
In C#
Now i m loading this package using LoadFromSqlServer(). I am creating connection manager object for each of source and destination type and then setting all sensitve information from my solution's config file. Set the protection level of package and available connection managers to DontSaveSensitve.
by using this method m able to execute any package created on any machine with default protection level.
Can any one of tell me -ve aspects of this approach?
I am wondering something, once we've created a job that executes a package at a given time interval, does that package get recompiled each time the job spins up and executes the package? Or is the package compiled once and then that compiled code is executed each run after the first run?
What I'm seein is this; I have a package that reads data from flat text files and then dumps that data into the database. The package will take 3 minutes to execute when executing on a single file, but when it's looping through ~50 files, it will take ~30 minutes to execute, that is less than a minute per file. Why is this?
Hopefully I'm just forgetting something and not setting a checkbox or radio button somewhere. The job is set up as an SSIS job, not as a command line job.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I am currently experiencing a 30 second delay when starting an SSIS package from a query window or stored procedure in SQL 2005 Management Studio, using xp_cmdshell and dtexec.
When I run the package in BI Dev the execution results state an elapsed time of 4.82 sec, at a command prompt using dtexec the elapsed time is 3.48 sec, from MStudio the elapsed time is 33.86 sec, this test was run using the same configuration and databases. For the MStudio run, if I look at the DTS log file I€™m creating or the PC Application log, it states the package doesn't actually start until 31 sec after the execute button is pressed. I€™ve tried executing the package as both a SQL package and a file package without any difference in elapsed times. I have also set DelayValidation = True for every Task, ConnectionManager and the package itself.
When I look at the package log one difference I see is that the Management Studio executes using €˜NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM€™, BI Dev and the cmd prompt use the local user €˜[Server]Administrator€™, which in this case is the administrator. From this I have to believe it is some kind of user rights problem. I think SQL or the OS is waiting for something and after it times out at 30 sec, it allows the package to run. If this is the case I€™m not sure what it might be or how to find it.
I also tried making an xp_cmdshell_proxy_account with admin rights but this didn€™t seem to work either. I€™ve included the query code below. Any ideas, help or solutions are greatly appreciated.
While executing the SSIS package from visial studio it is running. If we execute from Integration services - - -> stored packages - - - -> msdb - - - -package name, the package gets executed.

If i try to execute the same package trough business development studio its working f9. anyone have any idea whats the problem is? masroor
I have a question - is it possible to visualize an execution of the SSIS package when it is being run from SQL Agent? "Visualize" means to show a data-flow "live" - similair to the visualization provided by BI Dev.Studio when you run a package there, with coloured boxes, blinking etc.
I searched the Web but found nothing - neither MS-related nor utilities from third parties. Is it possible in any way?
Thanks in advance,
Andrey.
P.S. Parsing log-files is an option, but we would like to try first something less "painfull" and more universal...
I have two packages which is having parent child relationship.
Package1 is calling Package2, Package2 will download the input files from remote server using COZYROC SFTP Task. then Package1 will execute.
It is working fine in BIDS and SQL Agent job in "DEV" Server. But it is not wroking when i deployed the packages and it's config files and then created a SQL Agent JOB to "QA" Server.

I'd like to alter OnInformation event in order to add more parameters (as TaskHost). Is it possible? I've tried but appears an error:

I suppose that I must add an overload method but how?
I have a resultset, which I pass to a loop container, to use as parameters in an ExecuteSQL task for each row.
However, I would like to do some parallell processing, rather then iterate through them sequentially. How can I achieve this? Is there a way I can make the loop iterate before sql task is finished, or should I be using soemthing else entirely?
I hope this makes sense.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
