HI,
I have a function written in vb and want to know if there is a way to use it in an ssis package? Is there a task that I can paste this function in and execute it? Like the vbscript task or T-sql task? The function opens up 2 tables and updates table1 recordset with data from table2 if the (if statement) is correct and It uses 2 do loops. Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi,
I'm finding that the standard components often just don't quite meet my
needs, but would only need some fairly minor changes to save me and my team a lot of
work (and produce more elegant solutions). So I was just wondering whether the source code was available for the standard components that come with SSIS, or if there is anyway to extend their functionality?
Or do you just have to start form scratch?
Thanks,
Lawrie
Hi All,
Recently in an SSIS package I am getting the following error for a particular Data flow task.
Error: 2008-01-25 12:01:48.58
Code: 0xC0202009
Source: Import Datasynapse Data User Events Source [3017]
Description: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF.
End Error
Error: 2008-01-25 12:01:48.73
Code: 0xC004701A
Source: Import Datasynapse Data DTS.Pipeline
Description: component "User Events Source" (3017) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202009.
End Error
Our guess is when the data size of User Events table is more it throws this error. If we try to transfer small subset of data it succeeds. What could be reason for this error?
Since this is very urgent, immediate response would be very much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Prakash Srinivasan
Folks:
After migrating our SQL 2000 DTS packages to SSIS I wanted to know what changes I will have to make to my VB code. Here is the VB code I use to execute 2000 DTS package. Anybody with VB or similar situation.... what changes I will have to make so that I can execute my SSIS (sql 2005) package.
Dim BalancesPackage As New DTS.Package
BalancesPackage.LoadFromSQLServer("SERVER NAME", "", "", DTS.DTSSQLServerStorageFlags.DTSSQLStgFlag_UseTrustedConnection, "", "", "", "DTS PACKAGE NAME")
BalancesPackage.Execute()
Hi, all
I've seach the threads before. a lot of discussion about C# to VSA.
So could anyone with experience on conversion from C# to SSIS/VSA give me a suggestion?
I 've C# code application which complete some ETL process. Now I need to convert all the ETL process to SSIS pacakge. the function of part of C# code is to get the result from stored procedure and then write the result to excel file, not row by row.
the C# code call Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel as a object to write excel file.
But in VSA, I can't add Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel as a reference so I can convert C# to VB.net regarding writing excel file.
So any solution about that?
any help will be appreciated.........
Hi,
is it possible to deduce the c# code from from a SSIS package?
thanks.
Hi
I created an Integration Services from project which loads flat files to an OLEDB destination. It works fine for me.
But I do not want to run this from the Integration Services Project. What I need to do is run this project from Console
Application. That is when I run the console application in VB, It must execute the SSIS package and the flat files should
be loaded in SQL SERVER. I have created the SSIS package. How should I do Invoke this package from .NET code.
Thanks

I am using the following code to run my SSIS package:
Package package = app.LoadFromSqlServer
("\EPSROI\dts_Client_Eligibility_Import", "SQL32", "username",
"password", null);
Variables vars = package.Variables;
vars["InputFile"].Value = txtInput.Text;
vars["OutputFile"].Value = txtOutput.Text;
vars["Client"].Value = cboClientName.SelectedValue.ToString();
vars["Chopper"].Value = Chopper;
DTSExecResult result = package.Execute();
It runs fine on my machine; however, on anyone elses machine "result" comes back as "failure". We have figured out that it is loading the package and variables fine but failing before the first step of the package. Does anyone know why this would be? Or how to fix it? I am totally stumped considering it works fine on my machine.
Thanks.

Hi All,
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?
Thanks
I backed up a database from SQL 2005 32 bit version and restored it to SQL 2005 64 bit version. My DBA ran a task and received the following error. He received information to reinstall MDAC. I am doing this tomorrow but am wondering if there is another solution.
Thanks.

Hi, I have a lookup in my SSIS package that looks up the data from a database table and matches it with the data from another table. For example Field A in Table 1 with Field B in Table 2, Table 1 is the transactional data and Table 2 contains the value to refer to.
For some reason, I get error code -1071607778 in the output file when the lookup fails, but the values are in both Table 1 and Table 2.
Has anyone encountered this error before and what does error code -1071607778 mean ?

I am curious to find out by other people on how they manage incremental code changes to SSIS packages. I am in a situation now where we deliver production SSIS packages to a client, where the client changes the connection details to the data sources and exectues the packages on a nightly basis.
We have had instances where clients are asking for enhancements and modifications to the SSIS package whereby we would develop it in our development environment then replace the existing copy in the clients production environment. There has been instances whereby the packages would work as desired on our end, but it requires further refinement on the clients side. As such, we have had instances where we had to "back-out" into the previous packages.
I am just trying to find out what methods or procedures other people are following to acknowledge situations like this or similar to this. Currently we are following an exhaustive method of having two copies of the code on the client side, the "live" code is never modified, just the secondary copy, then when all is good, we move this code into the "live" code. Does anyone have any means of performing incremental updates on SSIS packages easily?
I am having 2 severs (SQL2000 & SQL2005), there is already one DTS package in SQL 2000, now i have migrated DTS package to SSIS package.

Hi Friends,
I am a newby to SSIS and it has been around 2 weeks since I have started with SSIS in my project.
Now, I have been able to successfully build the SSIS package for my project need which is to export all the data from excel source file to the destination database tables after certain validations and modifications. So, when I run the package from the Visual Studio, it runs fine, but actually we have to call the SSIS package from the Webpage through ASP.NET. I have used following code, for loading and executing the package on the page load event.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Application app = new Application();
// Load package from file system
Package package = app.LoadPackage("C:\Monitor 3\EEObjectImportSSISPackage\ImportCustomPointObject.dtsx", null);
Variables vars = package.Variables;
vars["selectedArea"].Value = 1050;
DTSExecResult result = package.Execute(null, vars, null, null, null);
}
All the connections and the log details are configured in the package itself. I am not much expert on the how to configure the package properly, as this is my first hands on effort at SSIS.
Unfortunately, I am not able to execute the package from the above piece of code. I have tried referring to various blogs, but none could come to my rescue. On the page load, it generates the log which notes below errors.

Hi All,
we have a set of packages which has to to be implemented across differnet environments.
the packages invariable uses OLEDB Source/Destination Components.
In these two components the Code Page Property is not Configurable.
so if the package has to be Deployed in a different environment than,where it is Developed it gives a Validation Error.
Is there a Workaround for this problem.
if anybody have faced the problem earlier,please post it.
thanks in advance.

I am running this code my question is when it runs ExecuteNonQuery() it doesn't wait for package to complete It just returns "Package succeeded' - The way you can test if you run this code 2 times one after another. ExecuteNonQuery() breaks with error -

How can I check before return package is running and wait to complete before return?

Hi!
Is it possible to execute a SSIS package using Java? How?
Thank you!
Is it possible to ftp files using code in a Script Task? I need to read the contents of an xml file and if it has a a specific file name in there then I ftp the corresponding pdf file which is at the same location as the xml file. However I cannot do this using the provided FTP Task in SSIS, I would need to use code to do this as there are close to 50 xml files which I need to read and upload the corresponding pdf file file it meets a certain criteria.
I do not see a way of looping thru all the files in a folder unless I do this in a Script task. Any inputs or alternative comments on doing this will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello
I am trying to call the same package with different starting parameters using asynchronous method calls.
My code is
namespace ReconHost
{
public partial class HostContainer : Form
{
public delegate void InvokePackageHandler(
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application app,
int var
);
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application app;
public HostContainer()
{
InitializeComponent();
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
app = new Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application();
InvokePackageHandler asyncInvokePackageHandler = InvokePackage;
asyncInvokePackageHandler.BeginInvoke(app, i, null, null);
}
}
public void InvokePackage(Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application app, int var)
{
Package pkg = app.LoadPackage(@"c:GRSGRSGRSTest_Async.dtsx", null);
pkg.Variables["intVar"].Value = var;
pkg.Execute();
pkg = null;
}
}
}
If I set the for loop to loop just once, the package is executed fine. Any more than once and only one instance of the package is executed.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I know it is possible to execute the two package instances simultaneously because you can use DTexecUI.exe on two clients to do this.
Thanks in advance

We have a sql job type SSIS package that is not populating a database table as expected and I'm trying to figure what why not but I'm not sure where the "code" is. The person that created it said they copied a legacy package (sql 2000) and made modifications to it, then migrated it to the new version. When a legacy package is migrated is there a SSIS solution built? I see you can edit SSIS packages only in BI Development Studio but I'm not sure where to find package.
This post may answer my question but if you have any additional or updated information I'd like to hear it.
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=393634&SiteID=1
So, to view or edit the package you have to export it?
Package location
Select the type of storage location to export the package to. The following options are available:
SQL Server
File System
SSIS Package Storage
So do you pick "File System" in order to view it in BI?
Thanks for your help.
I am trying to write a ssis surrogate key data transform, my problem is I can't find an example how to add a column to the incoming columns and add some data to it. If anyone has a sample, can you please post it. I found a script option that works but I would like an actual transform.

Hi,
SSIS is behaving differently in different environments but the code is same.
One thing is nor working correctly that is I am converting a string data type column to float data type in data conversion. In our local environments the package is working fine but in production environments it is not working correclty. It is unable to convert the data it is throwing an error.
"The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow"
Can anybody help me please?
Was wondering which is better, writing the SQL code within the execute SQL task or calling a SP from within it with respect to performance? and what is the best practice? Also is there any way to incoporate the logic of a cursur within SSIS?
Thanks
Hi
I have a SSIS package which extracts data from a progress database (Version 10) and writes to a SQL table. I use a data reader to extract the progress data from the source however I have a problem.
When I try to extract one extra field (a text field of 2000 characters) into my SSIS routines I get the following error message. I have supressed this before on other routines using the fetch array size on the odbc connection however I cant resolve the problem with this field.
I know progress is a tricky data source however does anyone have any thoughts on whether this is a limitation on the odbc drivers or something which I can handle in SSIS i.e. reduce the input of rows, tweak buffer size? If so does anyone have any suggestions on settings to try - currently they are the default.

Greetings,
I have been developing VBA apps in Access and Excel for sometime and am fairly proficient in VBA. Now we are moving all of our data to SQL Server 2005. I am in need of learning how to write code for the Script Component of a data flow task. And so I have a couple of questions.
First, are there any books you recommend for learning ???? (I'm not even sure what I need to learn: .NET? ADO.NET?)
And as a follow-up, any good websites that provide good reference documentation?
And my second question is more specific to my current problem. If I had a bit of code to get me started, I'm sure I could scream all the way to the bottom of the hill.
Data source is coming from a sort task where the data is sorted by STATUS and then MOD_DATE and the AUDIT_ID.
I need to read each row and compare it to the next row. If STATUS is the same, discard the second row.
When STATUS is different, send the first row to the output (to be used by the next task in the data flow).
Using the "different" row from step 3, go to step 2.
I know how to write if statements, case statements, for/next statements. I'm just not understanding how to read the rows in and then send them back out. I've been searching for some sample code but everything I find tends to be solving much bigger issues.
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,
After a Execute method I would need to stop a package but I don't know why:
sResultDts = pkg.Execute(Nothing, Nothing, EventsSSIS, Nothing, Nothing)
I have a Events class (EventSSIS) which implements IDTSEvents and have an OnQueryCancel event but without parameters, such so:
Function OnQueryCancel() As Boolean Implements IDTSEvents.OnQueryCancel
Return False
End Function
Let me know how to pass a boolean parameter because of I can't overloaded OnQueryCancel method
TIA-
I have a RPC which gives me multiple - single record rows like
Robert|K|Half|TX|1123823|1423904 -- This is one such record that i get in 1 Column
Now I need to split the above record into 6 Fields and populate in my local DB
I know i could use any .NET Language and accomplish this. But Iam limited to using SSIS/T-SQL Proc's
Any ideas / directions?
howdy,
i have a sqlserver2005 ssis package which connects to a mysql webserver to upload data. i am connecting via mysql oledb connection and am able to test connect ok through the oledb connection manager. However in my ole db destination editor i get an 0x80040E21 error when trying to preview a table . The full error is :
Error at Data Flow Task [Destination - Query [70]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
Error at Data Flow Task [Destination - Query [70]]: Opening a rowset for "INFORMATION_SCHEMA.address_book" failed. Check that the object exists in the database.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)
I can see all the tables in the drop down box in connection manager. This has been driving me nuts for the last 3 days! I have tried changing some of the security connection settings to no avail, (although i am not sure on what these do).I have also tried setting up as an odbc connection using script components but had memory errors after copying several hundred records and the package just hangs. I can go into this in more detail however i dont think they are related issues and i would prefer oledb as i dont have to script my data transfer.
any help much much appreciated.
thanks
Hello,
How do I convert VBSCRIPT code in a DTS package which is used for data validation to SQL 2005 SSIS?
Thanks,

Before we release an SSIS package into our test environment and then eventually into our production environment, we  set the package protection level to "EncryptAllWithPassword"
The "View Code" feature is a nice tool to find things that might be buried in the package somewhere (e.g an complex expression to a variable).
PROBLEM : After one sets the package protection level to "EncryptAllWithPassword", one cannot see the xml source code any longer. It's like compiling and saving cs to the bin. Is their a way to view the code again??
