Sp_msforeachtable In A DTS Package With Global Variables
Feb 27, 2001
Hi,
what I basically want to do is to delete all records from all tables where the field loadnumber equals a certain value.
To do this I've defined the global variable 'DSLoadNumber' (integer) in a DTS package, and I want to use the stored procedure sp_msforeachtable in an Execute SQL Task.
This is the code in the Execute SQL Task:
sp_msforeachtable
@replacechar = '~',
@command1 = "delete from ~ where loadnumber = ?",
@whereand = " and name not in ('dtproperties', 'dsloadlog', 'FotoMediaProduct', 'ProductFF', 'ComStat', 'ProdStat')"
This code can be parsed without any problem, but the ? is not seen as a variable.
When I get the ? out of the quotes the code cannot be parsed any longer.
Finally I've written a cursor to the job which looks like this:
DECLARE @tablename varchar(35),
@loadnumber int
SELECT @loadnumber = ?
DECLARE delete_cursor CURSOR FOR
select name
from sysobjects
where type = 'U'
and name not in ('dtproperties', 'dsloadlog', 'FotoMediaProduct', 'ProductFF', 'ComStat', 'ProdStat')
OPEN delete_cursor
FETCH delete_cursor INTO @tablename
WHILE (@@fetch_status = 0)
BEGIN
exec('delete from ' + @tablename + ' where loadnumber = ' + @loadnumber)
FETCH NEXT FROM delete_cursor INTO @tablename
END
CLOSE delete_cursor
DEALLOCATE delete_cursor
But this code doesn't compile either...
Any suggestions on how to get the code working within DTS?

Hello,
In the properties for a DTS package, I have a string variable. I need to execute an update statement based on this variable. I was going to use Execute SQL, but I didn't know now to get a value from the variables section.
I store the value there because I will be using dtsrun or the DTS library to execute the package, which I can change this value upon execution. How do I execute an update based on the value?

Have anyone encountered a problem with DTS Global variables. What I am trying to do is keep a counter in a global variable. It works fine when I run the job manually but if I schedule the job it doesn't increment the counter. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Is there a way to declare a persistent global variable in SQL Server?
I'd like my stored procs to fetch data in a different source depending on a debug (or development) variable.
For example, I'd like to be able to set a variable to either 0 or 1 (true or false) and have a static SP defined as:
IF @MYVARIABLE = 1
SELECT * FROM Openquery(Server1, 'SELECT * FROM Table1")
ELSE
SELECT * FROM Openquery(Server2, 'SELECT * FROM Table2')
What do you think? Since these SPs should be called a lot, I don't want to store the info in a table, I want it as a global variableso it will be as fast as possible.
Any other suggestions are also welcomed.
Thanks,
Skip.

Is there a way in SQL Server to setup Global Server Variables or Constants
We are working with an Off the Shelf Constituent Management application based on SQL Server. We can only read from the App's DB. So we setup another DB to run SP to access the data in the main DB. One problem we have is that there codes that the app DB uses that we need to reference as criteria in our SP. Example: Code for a phone type of email is 731. So if we want to pull email addresses we need to Select where PhoneType = 731. We found out that each time the main db is rebuilt those codes change. That means finding everytime we used that code and changing it.
It would be great to be able to set a global variable and use it anytime that code is needed.
Any ideas.

A short explanation: I have 4 locations that will import from text files.
These text files will need to be 'stamped' with a location_id. I'd like to pass the location_id to the dts package via a VB program. The reason for the VB program is I'd like to keep users from the Enterprise Manager. Is this possible to accomplish? Thanks for your help.

I am executing:
--------------------------------
DECLARE @x AS int
SET @lcQuery = 'UPDATE ... WHERE .... ' + ' SET @x = @@ROWCOUNT'
EXEC (@lcQuery)
PRINT @x
--------------------------------
@x does NOT return a value, because it is "local" to the lcQuery execution. As a matter of fact, to execute it, I have to write:
SET @lcQuery = 'DECLARE @x AS int ' +
'UPDATE ... WHERE .... ' +
'SET @x = @@ROWCOUNT'
EXEC (@lcQuery)
How can I pass the variable @x to the progam from within EXEC (@lcQuery)?
How does EXEC (@lcQuery) execute? In a different space?
Thank you.

As a newcomer to SQL2000, I need to create a DTS Global Variable that will import a file daily automatically. I've got the DTS working great, but I have to manually execute it every day. The log file name Accounting 02-22-2002.csv changes by the date every day. So the next record set would be Accounting 02-23-2002.csv and so on. Any ideas on how to create this? I think some VBScript is necessary from what I understand. I'm looking at the function DATEADD(d, 1, date).

We're using SQL Server 2000. I have a table with a couple fields I'd like to automatically updatre with a atrigger. One of the fields needs to log the current time the record has been modified. The other field needs to log the current user ID.Storing the current time is easy with UPDATE and GETDATE(), but obtaining the current user from my ASP.NET code isnt as pretty as I would have to pass in the user ID from my backend code into the server, perhaps as a stored procedure variable that will manually update the table with the new ID. I was hoping to perhaps set some global variable of the user ID for the current connection to the dbase so that once the trigger is made, it feeds off this connection-level global variable to plug in the needed User ID for the record.So for instance:SET @@MyCurrentUserID = 4; UPDATE MyTable SET myStuff='games';The MyTable trigger will be initiated and the LastModified field of MyTable will be auto update with the current datetime, but also the LastModifiedUser field of MyTable will be update with MyCurrentUserID.Is this possible with SQL Server 2000 for Windows 2K3?Tx

Before in DTS, I used to using ActiveX scripts to setup simple Global Variables that would later be used by the package, let's say a give state or a date.
I'm completely lost how to do the same in SSIS, can someone give me a hand?
I'm not sure what component to use and how to read this variable.

Hello,I am porting a stored procedure from Oracle. It uses a variable thatremembers its previous values from each invocation. (It uses a PRAGMAREFERENCES clause for those who are familiar with Oracle.) In otherwords, the variable in a particular stored procedure acts as a globalvariable. So the each invocation of the stored procedure can see itslast value, instead of its initial default value.Is there something similar in SQLServer?

I have a flat file of records in csv format. I want ti create a dts that can be executed from asp.net using vb.net to load data from .csv file into sql server 2000 table.
Now what further i want that this DTS must have a parameter mapped to file name of .csv. so when i execute this dts from asp.net web application i will set the file path to this variable and then execute it on server.
So that meanz dts stays on server all it require before execution a new file path to load data from file that is already uploaded on server in a directory.
if any one have any idea to how to create such a dts and secondly how to execute in asp.net.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am trying to export data from SQL7 to Access using a DTS package. I want to use the global variables within the package in sql statements.
How can I do that?
I have 2 global variables set: @DID & @Rowid
When tranfering data I used the sql statement to get the data from SQL7:
Select * from Tablex where ColumnX=@DID AND ColumnY > @rowid
but when I do that I get an error: You must declare the variable @DID
Why is that, if I declared it in the global variables section????
TIA.

Hi all
I have a DTS package that users of the database can run which basically acts like a 'live update' (as the database is based on a values produced from another system) and it takes roughly 30 or so seconds to run...
The dts package is not going to have a particularly large hit rate but i am interested in knowing what will happen if a user (user 1) attempts to run the package when it is in already in use by another user (user 2) ?
The dts package is from a sp using the dtsrun utility (passes in global variables).
I know that a second DTS will start before the first has finished but what i am not sure about is what will happen to the Global Variables when the second DTS package starts - i.e. will starting a second instance of the package with different variables have an effect on the first DTS's global variables while it is running?
I hope the answer is "No Tom, it work fine!"

I'm trying to pass a global variable from a DTS package to the child packages that it calls using ExecutePackage tasks. I have selected the child's global variable on the Inner Global Variable tab and I have selected the parent's global variable on the Outer Global Variable tab. That doesn't work. Whatever I type into the Value column of the Inner Global Variable tab gets passed to the child package. How do I get the parent's global variable passed to the child package? Do I need to set the value on the Inner Global Variable tab to some special word to make it look for the parent's global variable? If I set it to nothing, nothing gets passed.
I have been able to make this work using an ActiveX Script task. I can set the Inner Global Variable value of the Task object to the parent's global variable value, but that's not the clean solution I'm looking for. There must be a simple way to do this because Microsoft's documentation brags about this feature, but they don't explain exactly how to do it.
Thanks
Steve

I'm playing (and trying to learn)...
I have an FTP task in a for each containter and am setting the RemotePath using an expression (works great). Thought I could use this to start learning some of the scripting funtionality in SSIS (in a script task) so found some code in this forum (thanks Original Posters!) and tried my hand at some coding... Intent was to create a variable and then dynamically overwrite the Expression in the FTP Task from the script (I know I don't need to do this, I just wanted to use it for learning purposes)....
I have a variable named varFTPDestPathFileName (string) and want to set it to the value of varFTPDestPath (string) + varFTPFileName (string). Note: all variables are scoped at the package level (could this be the problem?). I did not assign any of the variables to ReadOnly or ReadWrite on the Script Task Editor page (seems to me that doing this in the code is a whole lot cleaner [and self documenting] than on the Task Editor page)...
I keep getting the following error:
"The element cannot be found in a collection. This error happens when you try to retrieve an element from a collection on a container during execution of the package and the element is not there."
Here is the script:
Public Sub Main()
Dim vars As Variables
' Lock for Read/Write the variables we are going to use
Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForRead("User::varFTPDestPath")
Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForRead("User::varFTPFileName")
Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForWrite("User::varSourcePathFileName")
Dts.VariableDispenser.GetVariables(vars)
' Set Value of varSourcePathFileName <<--- ERROR OCCURS HERE
vars("User::varSourcePathFileName").Value = _
Dts.Variables("User::varFTPDestPath").Value.ToString + _
Dts.Variables("User::varFTPFileName").Value.ToString
vars.Unlock()
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
I would also like to be able to loop through the Dts.VariableDispensor to see the contents of the variables and their values.
Somthing like
For each ??? in vars
msgbox(???.Value)
Next
One other question... Do we always have to preface the variable with "User::" or "System::", if so can you explain why?
Any help would be much appreciated....

I've been looking around but haven't yet found the syntax for usage of global variables in an SQL Task.
I've set the global variable Id (see code below):
if (select field from table where id = @[User::id]) is null
select top 1 1 as response from table
else select top 1 0 as response from table
My objective with it is to set another global variable (@isNull). Supposably, when the selection returns null, I should set the variable to null, I did it by using the selections and mapping the response to that variable (is ther a better way to do so?).
When I try to execute this, it says the variable has not been defined.
Here is the error:
Error: Must declare the variable '@'.
I've also tryed it withou the brackets and the User:: thing in the beggining, (@id directly) and here is the response:
Error: Must declare the variable '@id'.
How should I access the global variables in the SQL code?
(BTW, I've checked the field in execution time and it is set to 23, the correct Id, so the block that preceedes this one is working properly)
Thanks,

I can't find anything on how to get to a global variable in a script component in the dataflow. I can get to it in a script task with no problem by using dts.variables but i doesn't appear you can do the dts variables in the script component.
I did add it to the readwrite variable list but I haven't been able to access it.

Hi,
I need a resolution of the following issue:
Following SQL is to be inserted in an audit table :
INSERT INTO GLOBAL_VARIABLE_LOAD
([LOAD_ID]
,[LOAD_STATUS]
,[START_TIME]
,[END_TIME])
VALUES
(@P_LOAD_ID
,@P_LOAD_STATUS
,@P_START_TIME
,@P_END_TIME)
@P_LOAD_ID, @P_LOAD_STATUS, @P_START_TIME, @P_END_TIME are the 4 parameters mapped to global variables (At package Level) which store values mapped in a previous SQL Task in my control flow.
Following Error Message is thrown on executing the SQL Task:
Invalid object name 'GLOBAL_VARIABLE_LOAD'.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Can anyone guide me as to how should I go about saving values in global variables and inserting them in a table.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Aman

Hello,
We have an existing OLD System in SQL Server 2000 DTS Packages.
The Whole application runs on DTS.
There are several Packages which are called from a Master Package. Each Child packages have their own Global Variables. Most of them are the File Location variables to have the Source Location of the Input Data, mainly from the Excel Files.
Now, even if the Global Variables are there to change whenever they want to change the Locations of the Files, they have to goto each child package and change the variable themselves.
To resolve this issue, they want a configuration File (INI) / Table which would store those Variables. My thought is to read from that File/Table and Update all the packages' global variables through an ActiveX Script as the First Step of the Master package. That would eliminate the need of changing anything in the existing System.
But the Problem is the management (PM / DBAs / Team members) have different views to store the Configuration data.
1. Some wants it into a Different Database, having one table for this application so in future they can also add another table for some other application.
2. Some wants to store it in a Table in the Same Database of this Application.
3. Some wants to save it as a INI file.
As i'm the one who's going to really implement it, they have asked me to research for a best solution out there.
so I request to help me to decide which is a good solution and why.
Best Regards,
Deepak

I need to retrieve the Global Variables set in my package configuration file within an ActiveX Script Task within an SSIS package. In DTS, I could access the Global Variables to execute a SQLXMLBulkLoad for the following statement:
==========================================
Function Main()
Response.Expires=-1
set objBL = CreateObject("SQLXMLBulkLoad.SQLXMLBulkLoad")
objBL.ConnectionString =
"provider=SQLOLEDB.1;server=ABC123;database=MyDB;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"
objBL.KeepIdentity = False
objBL.CheckConstraints = False
objBL.Execute DTSGlobalVariables("gv_XSDSchemaFile").Value, DTSGlobalVariables("gv_XMLFullPath").Value
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
set objBL=Nothing
End Function
=========================================
I have tried using the Script Task to write this in VB.NET, however the MSXML4.0 is not exposed within the limited object model of the Script Task Designer. I have written a Data Flow Object using the XML Source, however it requires quite a bit of effort to have the Data Flow Component parse the XML (with 10 hierarchical nodes), transform each and provide a SQL Server Destination. This works, however the XML Source Component requires a hardcoded reference to the XSD Schema file and does not allow for a Global Variable to used. (They do provide this functionality for the XML file source though).
My requirement is to allow for the Global Variable to be passed for the Schema file at runtime. The only way I can think of is to recreate what I was doing in DTS where I could simply pull in the XML and XSD Global Variables and execute the SQLXMLBulkLoad in VB Script.
Any ideas on how to write this in VBScript within the ActiveX Script Task in SSIS?...

The logic I am trying to recreate via SSIS is the following SQL statement:
insert into db3.dbo.targettable1 -- Target database table
(SiteC,
Objecte,
Attrib1)
select distinct ?,
?,
from ? -- Source database table
join dbo.targettable2 c1 -- Target database table
on c1.Alias = ? and
c1.CSetID = ? and
c1.FacID = (select f.PFacID
from dbo.Fac f
where f.FacID = ?)
where not exists (select * from dbo.targettable2 c -- Target database table
where c.Alias = ? and
c.FacID = ? and
c.CSetID = ?)
I have an OLE DB Source that consists of an expression to approximate the following portion of the Above Select statement:
Select ?,
from ? -- Source database table and
The package has 2 global variables User:CSetID and User::FacID whose scope is global to the package and whose values are set within a Foreach Loop Container outside of the Data Flow Task
I was trying to reference the 2 global variables within the Looup Transformation to recreate the following portion of the SQL statement.but encounter errors:
join dbo.targettable2 c1 -- Target database table
on c1.Alias = ? and
c1.CSetID = ? and
c1.FacID = (select f.PFacID
from dbo.Fac f
where f.FacID = ?)
In the Advanced Editor window of Lookup Transaction
select * from
(select * from [dbo].[targettable2 ]) as refTable
where [refTable].[Alias] = ? and [refTable].[FacID] = ? and
[refTable].[CSetID] = ?
Is there away to reference global variables in a Lookup Transformation that are set outside a Data Task Flow?
