Configure A Child Package To Use The Configuration File Of A Parent Package?
Sep 14, 2006Hi guys,
Here's the deal. I have a child package, (say, pack01.dtsx), which uses a dtsconfig file for its connection string, which can be called from other packages, but which also can be called by itself.
However I also have another package (say, pack02.dtsx) which uses the same dtsconfig file for its connection string. It calls on pack01.dtsx.
When I use DTEXECUI and run pack01.dtsx, specifying the proper .dtsconfig file, it goes well. But when I try and run pack02.dtsx, an error occurs saying pack01.dtsx connection cannot be established.
How do I pass the connectionstring being used by pack02 to pack01, without having to remove the configuration file setting of pack01? Can a Parent Package configuration and a configuration file try and map to the same property?
Hope someone could help. Thanks.

Noob To SSIS Package Configure And Deploy
Mar 19, 2007Hi there
I am fairly new to SSIS, I got my package running fine in my development environment with the connection managers (connecting to 3 databases on the same server, with username and password, not Integrated security) and all.
The problem comes in when i want to deploy my package or execute it outside of the development environment.
When I execute the .dtsx file in my project it brings up the Execute Package Utility and I just click Execute, thinking it should work, but not, any ideas??
So I read some of the forums and got looking into the configuration file, suppose that it does not carry the connection manager settings thru, but dam that still doesn't work for me?
The whole idea is that I will be executing the package from my C# code, so does my package have to be just on the server in a folder or does it have to be installed in the db? which is best??
Hope anyone can help me!!
Thanks

How To Configure Data Source/Oledb-ado Connections From Outside The Package?

Another requirement has cropped up with regard to picking up connection settings for data sources from an external File.
My source and target are both in SQL Server. What i need is that if my source or target changes I should just change my external file and same should reflect in my package.
How can I accomplish it? Please suggest some solution.
Thanks in advance.

Flat File Source - How To Configure An Appropriate Column Delimiter?
Feb 19, 2008Good day everyone,
I have a package that reads data from a CSV file, transforms it and finally loads it in a destination DB table.
My current problem lies in the parsing of the input flat file. I shall illustrate it using a small example.
Source File:
P;Product-1;Short Description for product 1
P;Product-2;Short Description for product 2
Problem:
I configured the flat file connection manager to use semicolon as the column separator. But then I have received some sample flat files where I found that the semicolon might be sometimes used as content of a column data.
Possible Solutions:
I have thought about 3 different solution and I would like to get your feedback and recommendations about them.
Alternative 1:
Use a complex column delimiter, which wouldn't be used in the data.
Example:
P#~#Product-1#~#Short Description for product 1
P#~#Product-2#~#Short Description for product 2
Question 1:
- Is it possible to define such a customized column delimiter for the Flat File Connection Manager?
- If yes, how can I do this?
Alternative 2:
Use double quotes around the data, which the Flat File Source Adapter must somehow recognize and trim before pushing the data down the Data Flow.
Example:
"P";"Product-1";"Short Description for product 1"
"P";"Product-2";"Short Description for product 2"
Question 2:
- Is it possible to configure the Flat File Source Adapter to work as described?
- If yes, how can I do this?
Alternative 3:
Use a Script Component and write the needed code for parsing the Flat File.
Question 3:
- Do you have further suggestions/ideas for solving this parsing problem?
Thanks in advance and my regards,

Dynamically Configure Text File Destination In SSIS
Feb 7, 2008Good Afternoon,
So this one has been bugging me for a while and I am ready to punt...
Is it possible to dynamically create a text file destination in SSIS and then pump the results of a query stored in a variable to this text file?
So my package looks like this
1) SQL task that pulls back a list of tables to be exported
2) For Each Loop ADO enum that passes the table name to a SQL Task that builds the select...ie select * from <DTS.Variables()>
3) Data flow task that sets the command from variable from step 2
4) Text File destinaiton that is built using a varable as the connectionstring
I am delaying validation in steps3 and 4 above without any luck...basically I am curious if i can even do what I am thinking I should be able to do here...I get as far as getting metadata errors because SSIS can't seem to handle dynamically filling the pipeline with the columns from the variable/SQL statement.
Am I missing something? Is this possible?!
Thanks in advance.

Passing The Xml Configuration File To The Package As An Input Parameter While Executing The Package
Feb 2, 2007Hi,
I am planning to develop a single package that will download files from ftp server, move the files to internal file server and upload it in the database. But I want to run this package for multiple ftp file providers. For each provider the ftp server might be different and the transformation to upload the files into a database table might be different.
So can I create a single package and then multiple configuration files (xml), which will contain the details fo the ftp file providers and then pass the xml file as a parameter while executing the package. The reason being that the timings of fetching the files is different for each ftp file provider and hence cannot be combined into one.
Is this possible?
Thanks for your help.

I found a similar post that suggested that they try the following:
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
regsvr32 msxml6.dll
But msxml6.dll could not be found.
I did get a copy of this file from a coworker, and after copying it and registering it, I was able to add a package to the project.
My concern now is what is the likelyhood of this being the only file missing from the installation.
I'm wondering if I should reinstall, or (if it exists) do a repair on the installation.
Thanks.

How To Specify Config File For Package Within A Package
Jan 17, 2007I have a situation where I have Package A, which is called from Package B. Both packages have been designed to use config files for their connections, etc.
The issues arises when executing Package B. I can specify a config for Package B to use, but how do I tell the embedded package to use its correct config file?
By default, Package A has its config file pointed to development, but I would rather not have to save a special version of Package A that points to production.
I dont see any option within the execute package task.
Any ideas???
File..Save Copy Of &&<package File&&> As... Not Available
Mar 27, 2006According to the help for SSIS, one method of deploying an SSIS package
to a SQL Server,
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137565.aspx, is to use the
File...Save a Copy of <package file> as... menu option.
I don't have that menu option at all. And yes, the package is in
focus. My save menu options are simply; Save Selected, Save
<package file> As... and Save All.
I am using Version 9.00.1399.00 of the SSIS Designer.
At one time I did have the Management Studio's CTP installed.
However it was uninstalled before installing the tools from the
Standard Edition. (it would seem like not completely however)
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx much.
p.s. Almost forgot to mention... I am already aware of using the
DTSInstall utility as a workaround. It should be noted, however,
that despite enabling the "CreateDeploymentUtility" property, the
DTSInstall.exe is not copied to the binDeployment directory.

DTS -- Local Package Or File?
Jan 25, 2001I have a fairly large DTS package which processes a large amount of data and outputs it to a series of tables. Currently I am saving the package as a local package, but I want to save it as a file to make migrating to different servers easier for the people who will be moving it. My question is, Can I run the package as a file without saving it as a local package on the server? And if so, are there any good examples of how to do it out there?

View 2 Replies View RelatedDTS Package File Error
Jul 11, 2005An oddity has appeared in my MSSQL 8.0 SP3a instance; DTS packages which were working fine in the past can no longer be opened in Designer. Even when attached to the instance with the ‘sa’, I get the following errors:
**Package Error
Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package
Error Description: The System cannot find the file specified.
**DTS Designer Error
The selected package cannot be opened. The DTS Designer has been closed.
The packages themselves continue to run properly even through Agent, but when I attempt to open them for view or edit, the above errors appear. Note, not all DTS packages are displaying this behavior and there appears to be no obvious pattern to which packages are affected. When editing on the server itself, the packages can be opened and edited. Another peculiarity noted while looking into this one; while editing on the server directly, the option to save a given package in the Meta Data Services location is no longer an option. It is available when attached to the instance form a workstation.
Anyone seen this type of behavior before?
Thanks in advance!
Export File Using The DTS Package
Feb 20, 2008Hi,
I have a DTS package scheduled to run every day creates a text file on Server A and then moves the text file from Server A to Server B. But recently, the package is moving incomplete text file from Server A to Server B. Not every day. There is no problem in generating the text file.
So far, I verified the memory on Server B - No Probelms.
Changed the package so it copies the text file from Server A to Sever B instead of moving, then delete the text file on Server B. - Didn't work out.
Any idea?

Package Configuration With XML File
Aug 30, 2006Hi,
I have about 40 packages in my job. One of the problems that I have encoutered is that I don't know how I could use same XML dtsconfig file for all of my files. Each SSIS calls different file.
The XML dtsconfig file is a replacment for my *.ini file in sql 2000. The dtsconfig file will hold paths to all different files. Each SSIS will take different file name at a runtime.
How can I have all the files paths in one dtsconfig file - and is it even possible to do that in SSIS?
Any help greatly appreciated....Thank you,

Package Not Finding Xml Configuration File
Nov 26, 2007Hi,
I'm having difficulty configuring a package to look for an xml configuration file that contains values for source/destination connection strings.
The goal is to be able to have a package and its configuration file on one file system and to be able to copy/move the file dtsx and dtsx.config between build/staging/production servers while only having to set the xml value for the source/destination configurations.
In the package, I've created an xml configuration file called zzz.config. I took the absolute path out of the location of the xml file so that I have
xml location = zzz.config
instead of
xml location = e:ssiszzz.config
I'm assuming that when it gets to the point of validating the location of that file, it starts by looking in the current directory where the package is found.
All is well as long as I execute the package through the execute package utility by double clicking on the package file.
The problem lies when configuring a job in the sql server agent, it doesn't seem to pick up the xml configuration values because its pointing to the old server and not the current server stored in the xml file. I'm assuming its because the current directory is not the package directory at this point.
How can I get around this? Do I have to move the xml config file (zzz.config) to another directory where the agent will look for?
I know I could configure this as an environment variable but this contradicts the point of having movable packages without any extra tweaks.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Robin
