Update Variables With Scripting Task
Aug 28, 2006
Helo,
I'm using a simple scripting task to update the value of a variable:
Public Sub Main()
Dim EndeJahr As String
EndeJahr = InputBox("Text")
Dts.Variables("EndYear").Value = EndeJahr
MsgBox(Dts.Variables("EndYear").Value)
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
The Package is working fine and the message box shows the actual value.
My problem is that when I change the of value of my variable, the value of variable is not changing, when I restart my package!!!
What's the problem?
any ideas?

Hi there
I'm attempting to update a variable using the Execute SQL task, I've read a lot of posts on this and seems reasonably simple but obviously not. The first time I ran it the variable was updated correctly, I then manually changed the variable value and since then it doesn't work.
I have a task with the following properties;
Resultset: SingleRow
SQLStatement: SELECT MAX(Player_Daily_Data_Pull_Date) as 'PlayerDaily' From Job_Control
On the resultset tab I have the resultsetname = PlayerDailyand the variable I want to update.
The variable has a type of datatime and it's scope is the container that I'm running the sql task within.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I use a "Exec DTS 2000" task.
I have a variable user::MYVAR in my SSIS package, wich value is "PARENT".
I pass this variable as an outer variable to my dts 2000 package, wich receive it correctly, and then update it to "UPDATED".
After this task finishes, when I come back to SSIS, MYVAR is still at "PARENT".
Is it possible to see the update from the parent package ?
Thanks

Hi, I have to researching of how to accesss package tasks and component using the SqlServer.Dts.Runtime class and so far, I havent found any solution. For example, if you package has a scriptiong task and a data flow task(<- which contains a data source component). Is it possible to use the scripting component to access the data source component in the data flow task and manipulate its properites like sqlcommand etc.

I'm trying to automate comparing the dacpacs we're generating from out builds against our production server to monitor drift.However, we use scripting variables to define cross database references.  The schema compare is showing up all the objects which reference the other database via scripting variable as being different to what is on the server i.e. it reports a change between a table referenced as  [$(db)].dbo.Table in the dacpac  and db.dbo.Table in the target database.
When I do a comparison in Visual studio between the project and the target database the variables seem to be appropriately replaced and the differences don't show. Â Obviously this is using a project instead of a dacpac but I'm hoping I can get the dacpac/db compare to behave similarly to the project/db comparison.
Is there a way to define what the scripting variables should resolve to when I run the comparison via msbuild?
Edit: Â I would prefer not to deploy the dacpac and diff the deployed db against the target database but if that's the only way....

Hi,
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.

Hi all,
I use oledb connection in the script just like as follows:
msConnStr = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;SERVER=" & msServer & ";DATABASE=" & msDb
msConn = New OleDbConnection(msConnStr)
msConn.Open()
ds = New DataSet
msData = New OleDbDataAdapter(msSqlStr, msConn)
rows = msData.Fill(ds, "TableName")
This command is working fine, I just need to ask if there is a method
to do retry on the connection if the connection cannot be opened for
reasons like server is temporary down? instead of just make the script
task a failure. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a problem in my SSIS-package: If I try to execute a SQL-statement which uses a variable, it say "syntax-error". Here is how I tried:
1. a) Declared a variable. Name: tableName; Bereich (Sorry, I use the german version, no clue whats that on english versions): Package2; Type: STRING; Value: staticDB.StaticData_provider.dbo.C0123
b) Assigned this variable on SQL-Task->"Parameterzuordnung" as VARCHAR, parametername= NewParameterName
c) Used this on my SQL-Statement, SQLSourceType is directinput. Statement: "DELETE
FROM @NewParameterName"
d) Running this results in following error: "Der Parametername wird nicht erkannt" Translation: "Parametername was not recognized."
2. a) see 1.a)
b) see 1.b)
c) Used this on my SQL-Statement, SQLSourceType is directinput. Statement: "DELETE
FROM ?"
d) Running this results in following error: "Syntaxfehler, Berechtigungsverstoß oder anderer allgemeiner Fehler" Translation: "Syntaxerror, permision violation or other common error."
Any ideas?
Regards,
Jan

Hi to all
Is there any option in sql server DTS or any other third party tool that can script data. By scripting data i mean that....
if a table "Employee" contains 50 rows, i want the tool to write 50 insert queries for me so that i can run in it anywhere.
Problem is i have to insert data in a remote server where i cannot use DTS. I just have a text area to write my query and press the run button..
Hope u understand my problem. In case of any explanation please reply. Waiting for your response. Thanx in advance.

Hi,
I'm trying to run a statement against all of my servers - I've got about 10 statements working, but am having trouble with this one. It's in a for loop with a connection that is changed by a recordset which is a list of my servers. Here is the code - In the step before, I've created the tempdb.dbo.DBROLES table.
Code Block
declare @dbname as varchar(200)
declare @mSql1 as varchar(8000)
DECLARE DBName_Cursor CURSOR FOR
select '[' + name + ']'
from master.dbo.sysdatabases
where name not in ('mssecurity','tempdb')
Order by name
OPEN DBName_Cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM DBName_Cursor INTO @dbName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
Set @mSQL1 = 'Insert into tempdb.dbo.DBROLES ( DBName, UserName, db_owner, db_accessadmin,
db_securityadmin, db_ddladmin, db_datareader, db_datawriter,
db_denydatareader, db_denydatawriter )
SELECT '''+ @dbName +''' as DBName ,UserName, '+char(13)+ '
Max(CASE RoleName WHEN ''db_owner'' THEN ''Yes'' ELSE ''No'' END) AS db_owner,
Max(CASE RoleName WHEN ''db_accessadmin '' THEN ''Yes'' ELSE ''No'' END) AS db_accessadmin ,
Max(CASE RoleName WHEN ''db_securityadmin'' THEN ''Yes'' ELSE ''No'' END) AS db_securityadmin,
Max(CASE RoleName WHEN ''db_ddladmin'' THEN ''Yes'' ELSE ''No'' END) AS db_ddladmin,
Max(CASE RoleName WHEN ''db_datareader'' THEN ''Yes'' ELSE ''No'' END) AS db_datareader,
Max(CASE RoleName WHEN ''db_datawriter'' THEN ''Yes'' ELSE ''No'' END) AS db_datawriter,
Max(CASE RoleName WHEN ''db_denydatareader'' THEN ''Yes'' ELSE ''No'' END) AS db_denydatareader,
Max(CASE RoleName WHEN ''db_denydatawriter'' THEN ''Yes'' ELSE ''No'' END) AS db_denydatawriter
from (
select b.name as USERName, c.name as RoleName
from ' + @dbName+'.dbo.sysmembers a '+char(13)+
' join '+ @dbNAme+'.dbo.sysusers b '+char(13)+
' on a.memberuid = b.uid join '+ @dbName +'.dbo.sysusers c
on a.groupuid = c.uid )s
Group by USERName
order by UserName'
--Print @mSql1
Execute (@mSql1)
FETCH NEXT FROM DBName_Cursor INTO @dbname
END
CLOSE DBName_Cursor
DEALLOCATE DBName_Cursor;
failed with the following error: "Must declare the variable '@dbName'.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Task failed: Put dbroles into table
The program '[10320] DBA_Repository_Load (1).dtsx: DTS' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
I'm going to try creating the procedure on each server - that will probably work - I just don't get why it's not recognizing that variable. The line it is referring to is FETCH NEXT FROM DBName_Cursor INTO @dbName. Thanks for any info on this!

IntelliSense for example?

I have a 'file system task' moving files from one server to another for processing. I have defined the path and filename as separate variables. When I attempt to pass them together into the task I receive an error.
Source Path & Filename:
@[User:: DataSourceFolder]+"\"+ @[User::CD_PaidClaimSource]
Outputs:
\umrdwh2FTPCLAIMDAILY.DATA
Destination Path Now: (Filename not specified per another thread.)
@[User::WorkingFolder]
Original Destination Path: (Which did not work.)
@[User::WorkingFolder]+"\"+ @[User::CD_PaidClaimSource]
I receive validation errors:

How do I overcome this without hard coding the path in the task?

I am trying to run a simple update (just to establish it works) passing in a variable in the execute SQL task. It is within a Foreach loop and the incoming data is from a RecordSet destination. One of the fields in the recordset is UniqueID. I have a variable called User::UniqueID which holds the uniqueID value. I then have a second variable which is the insert statement of
"INSERT rptlifespan_transactionimagecopy SELECT " + (DT_WSTR, 20)@[User::UniqueID] + ", null, null,null,null,null,null,null"
with delayvalidation set to True.
when I run the package i get the following error:
Error: 0xC0014054 at Execute SQL Task: Failed to lock variable "INSERT rptlifespan_transactionimagecopy SELECT 543, null, null,null,null,null,null,null" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found. This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.".
543 is the value of my first UniqueID so that bit is working ok. What I do not know is why the insert statement is failing.
Please help i have very little hair left!!

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

I've got a container with two variables: xxxNextFile and xxxLastFile, both with EvaluateAsExpression = False.
My container has a dataflow followed by a script task followed by another dataflow. The first dataflow starts with ae existing raw file source from variable xxxLastFile and wants to write output to a new raw file from variable xxxNextFile. The script component then sets the value for xxxLastFile equal to the value of xxxNextFile and generates a new value for xxxNextFile. The final dataflow component does pretty much the same as the first one, i.e. it uses xxxLastFile for the source and xxxNextFile for the destination.
I've got two package scoped variables pkgFolderTemp and pkgCurrentTime that I use to come up with a unique filename, due to the fact that pkgCurrentTime evaluates at runtime. The script below should be pretty self explanatory.
The problem is that I expect the variable values to have changed after the script task runs but they don't. I have checked to see if I possibly had the xxxLastFile and xxxNextFile variables scoped at the script task level or even at either of the dataflow levels but they are only scoped for the container. BTW, I have xxxLastFile and xxxNextFile declared as readwrite variables and pkgFolderTemp and pkgCurrentTime delared as read only.
For anyone wondering why I have the script component jammed between the two dataflows rather than in a PostExecute event for the container, it's because I couldn't get it to run at all when I tried that. One thing at a time :)
Here's my script:
Imports SystemImports System.DataImports System.MathImports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.RuntimePublic Class ScriptMain Public Sub Main() Dim varLastFile As Variable Dim varNextFile As Variable Dim pkgFolderTemp As Variable Dim pkgCurrentTime As Variable Dim folder As String Dim time As String varLastFile = Dts.Variables.Item("User::xxxLastFile") varNextFile = Dts.Variables.Item("User::xxxNextFile") pkgFolderTemp = Dts.Variables.Item("User::pkgFolderTemp") pkgCurrentTime = Dts.Variables.Item("User::pkgCurrentTime") varLastFile.Value = varNextFile.Value folder = pkgFolderTemp.Value.ToString() time = pkgCurrentTime.Value.ToString() varNextFile.Value = folder + " emp_" + time MsgBox("User::xxxLastFile=" + varLastFile.Value.ToString() + " User::xxxNextFile=" + varNextFile.Value.ToString()) Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success End SubEnd Class

I want it to run this code:
update daily_sls_curr set mtd_ty_sls = (
select sum(ty_sls) from daily_sls_curr ci
where ci.fmonth = (select max(fmonth) from daily_sls_curr)
and wk_day <=@wk_day
and ci.store = daily_sls_curr.store
group by store)
where fmonth = (select max(fmonth) from daily_sls_curr)
and wk_day = @wk_day
repeatedly from the loop for 35 days of the fiscal month
When I parse the query, it gripes at the variable
How do I set up the query to work with the variable?

I have a package with variables which are set to default values, in this instance table names.
I then use a script task to change these variable values, these change fine and I have looked in the watch window whilst debugging to ensure that the values have changed correctly, and they have.
My Script Task then pipes to a Execute SQL Task, where I am using Expressions to set the SqlStatementSource. The Expressions statement uses the variables I change in my script task to form a SQL query.
However, at run-time the Expression appears to be fixed with the default variable values, it does not change even though the variable values have changed. Below is an extract from my expression for the SqlStatementSource.
i.e
Code Block
"USE [DBNAme]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].["+ @[User::StagingEventLossTable] +"](
[PolicyId] [varchar](50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL,
<snip>
...
Is an Expression value fixed from the moment the package is run and is therefore not dynamic during run-time?
If this is the case, how can I get around this? As I want to be able to change this SQL Statement on the fly at run-time.
Thanks

Somebody provided me with this link http://www.sqlis.com/58.aspx that helped me understand Execute SQL Task and how to assign values to variables from a resulting SQL query.
But I'm not sure if this tutorial addresses my particular example.
Here is what I'm trying to do.
I have a a simple table called VarTable with 2 columns. Col1 is called VarName, and Col2 is called VarVal. As you may have guessed from the column names, I want to hold variable and value pairs in this table.
Right now, I have 2 entries as follows.
Var1, Hello
Var2, Bye
I want to assign Hello and Bye into two variables in my package.
In using the above tutorial, I figured out how to assign one variable by doing the following SQL and using "Single row" Result Set property.
Select VarVal from VarTable
Where VarName = 'Var1'
Then in Result Set section of the Execute Task Editor I map VarVal with one of my user variables.
How do I take care of the 2nd variable in the same Execute SQL Task, or do I need to have another Execute SQL Task? Based on my understanding, in order for me assign multiple variables in one Execute SQL Task, I need somehow construct a SQL statement to return as many columns as I have variables to assign, but this seems hard to do given the variable table structure I have.
Please let me know if my example is unclear.

I have 3 Execute SQL tasks to find the max value of some fields. In two tasks the SQL
SELECT MAX(field bigint)
FROM TABLE
Is returned and stored as a string variable. My 3rd execute SQL task is
SELECT MAX(field int)
FROM TABLE
Is returned and stored as an object type. If I try to save it as a string, the execution fails with a mismatch.
WHY? Why aren't they all strings? What am I missing/doing wrong? This is very frustrating behavior. The queries are running against tables on SQL Server 2005 the field types are listed in the SQL above.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a SSIS package that copies a file from one location and puts in in another with a datetime suffix on the end. This works fine in the script task. I've then added some additional code to the script task to set a variable with this new file location. The variable value gets set in the code, as I have a messagebox displaying the value, but doesn't get set to pass to the next step.
Public Sub Main()
Dim Filename As String
Dim FileLocation As String
Filename = CStr(Dts.Variables("AgencySpendFileNameWithDateTime").Value)
FileLocation = CStr(Dts.Variables("FileLocation").Value)
FileIO.FileSystem.CopyFile(FileLocation + "AgencySpend.txt", FileLocation + Filename, True)
Dts.Variables("SendLocation").Value = CStr(FileLocation + Filename)
MsgBox(Dts.Variables("SendLocation").Value)
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
SendLocation is the value I want to set for the next step. I've checked and this variables scope is at the package level.
Any suggestions?

But now getting this error:

This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there.

As you can see the variable does appear to be resolving.

I'm having trouble with my configurations. All of my configurations are targeting variables and the various properties are all set to expressions containing the targeted variables. I would like (during debugging) to dump out all of the variables.
Is there a way to access all variables from a script task? It looks like you have to enumerate the variables you want in the ReadOnlyVariables or ReadWriteVariables properties. I'd rather not miss one by forgetting to list it.

Hi Everyone,
I created a script task that uploads a file to a HTTPs site. The script task works well and now I want to turn this script task into a custom component...
I'm having problems on how to call the variables I have in the package, I already locked them for reading, but how am I suppose to access them and how can I put their values into strings so I can easily call them in the WebClient.UploadFile method?
Also, I am very new to custom tasks in SSIS.. and would appreciate if anyone of you can send me something (code, link, etc.) of a very simple custom task without any form or properties, that I can try to study.
Basically, what I want my custom task to do is,
1. Read the varialbes in the package.
2. use the variables values as input in my WebClient.UploadFile("varURLstring", "PUT", "varFilePath")
as you can see, my custom task is really simple... but I'm a noob here and I don't know where to go.
Thanks in advance,
Kervy

Hi,
I have a SSIS package with a Sequence which Contains a Webservice Task, in the input section of this task i want to pass a User Variable as Parameter for my webmethod. but it doesn´t work, it allways sends the variable definition as string "@[User::Filename]". so i searched Microsoft Technet how to pass User Variables in Webservice Tasks and found this site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187617.aspx
which says :
"
Variable
Select the check boxes to use variables to provide inputs. "
but there is no such checkbox on the input page of my Webservice Task... there is just the Value column which i can edit... but as mentioned before when i try to set the value to a variable it doesn work
i tried the following strings in the value column:
@[User::Filename]
@Filename
User::Filename
@User::Filename
any ideas?
thanks for your help

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....
