Maintenance Place Precedence Constraint Editor

Feb 28, 2007

SQL Server 2005 now provides the ability to use expressions in the plans instead of just the Failed/Success/Completed constraints.

Can anyone tell me what language is used for these expressions. Where can I find a guide on this?



Thanks

Qestion On Precedence Constraint Editor

Jan 5, 2008

I am confused with Precedence constraint editor regarding Evaluation Operation and Multiple Constraints options. In the Evaluation Operation dropdown list, there are: Expression and Constraint and Expression OR Constraint. Why it still needs LOGICAL AND and LOGICAL OR in the multiple constraints options? Is it clear that Expression and Constraint is "LOGICAL AND" and "Expression OR Constraint" is "LOGICAL OR"?

SSIS - Precedence Constraint Editor

Aug 31, 2007



Dear Friends,
In my controlFlow I have 2 sequence container... Sequence1 goes to Sequence2 if an expression valuate to TRUE.
If the expression value is true, than there isn's any problem and sequence2 runs, but if the expression is FALSE the sequence2 container doesn't run.

OK?
In the case of expression valueate to FALSE I need to generate an error or an information in order to get it in the eventhandler automatic...
I can add a script task to make the package failure... but what I insert in the precedence constraint editor from Sequence1 to the scripttask?

Imagine... the expression from Sequence1 to Sequence2 is a>=b
The expression from Sequence1 to ScriotTask os a<b? (How can I define this only to run when the expression (seq1 to Seq2) is false??



Someone know how?
Regards!

Precedence Constraint Being Ignored?

May 22, 2008

hi all - this is the first time i've worked with SSIS / Business Intelligence, and I'm having an issue with a piece of basic functinoality.

I'm working with some dtsx jobs which were all conversions from Sql Server 2000 DTS jobs. The conversion process "seemed" to go smoothly. I used the Migration Wizard, and it successfully converted my outputted DTS job files into DTSX files.

In the Business Intelligence design environment (Control Flow) for a specific dtsx package, I have two tasks that are linked together by a Precedence Constraint.

* Task A Truncates all data in Database B --> Table A
* the precedence constraint says that if Task A is successful, then go on to Task B (or at least i think it does)
* Task B copies the newest data from Database A --> Table A over to Database B --> Table A

Everything appears to be correct, but if i right-click Task A and perform an "Execute Task" command, Task A will run successfully, but then stops short without running Task B.

Are there any common "gotchas" or issues that I might be missing which would cause this behavior? I deleted the existing precedence constraint, and added back a new one with the same settings, but Task B still will not run.

thanks for any help on this

Precedence Constraint Problem

Dec 20, 2007

I have two packages - one works, the other doesn't. Both have two tasks: an Execute SQL Task and a dependent Send Mail Task. I am using a precedence constraint where the evaluation operation is an expression evaluating a variable created by a select count(*) as variable in the query. Both variables are defined as int32, initial value of 0 with a scope for the entire package.

The expression that works tests for an error_counts > 0 condition; the one that doesn't tests for load_counts < 24. The > 0 sends mail when the error_count is greater than 0 but doesn't send mail when it is 0, which is as I intended. The less than 24 package always sends mail even though the variable resultset_singlerow is usually 24. When I look at both properties for the Execute SQL Task steps side by side, they have no differences. When I look at the properties for the constraint, the only difference is in the EvaluatesTrue, which is set to False for the one that works and True for the one that doesn't. Unfortunately, that property is grayed out (not modifiable) and doesn't seem to be an option when I edit via the Precedence Constraint Editor.

I've looked a Books Online & Google with no references to a similar situation. Does anyone have a solution? Is the EvaluatesTrue the problem? And if it is, how can I change the setting? If not, what is the problem?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Precedence Constraint Expressions

Jul 30, 2007



Hi all
I've got a package that checks the length of chars in a flatfile and if it's correct it executes the dataflow task.

How can i write an expression in the precedense constraint editor to skip the dataflow task if there is an error in the script task?


Thank you

Precedence Constraint Issue

Mar 5, 2008



I am struggling here with precendece constraints and variables.

I have the following scenario:







Task A





Task B





Task C





@var1!=0





@var1==0
Task A, Task B and TaskC

Task A (Execute SQL Task which assigns a value to a variable say, var1) determines if TaskB will execute i.e.

IF var1 !=0 Execute Task B and then Execute Task C

IF var1== Execute Task C

Is this possible in SSIS?

Problem:
Each time I try to do this, the package never executes Task C. It always either Executes Task A or Task A and Task B.


For example if var1 !=0 it executes Task A and Task B

but if var1 == 0 it executes only Task A.

Precedence Constraint In SSIS Didn't Work

Aug 27, 2007

Dear all,
I've been searching the article for error handling in SSIS but seems no article have same problem exactly as mine. In my package there's container, it contains Data Flow task and some of Script tasks. I put an error precedence from Data Flow task into Script task that contains script for log an error that might be occured. The Data Flow task imports data from flat file into SQL Server 2005 and I've set a semicolon as the column delimiter. Unfortunately there is a data in flat file that had one column contain semicolon as its value.
This would trigger an error and I hope the error would be logged into a table as I wrote inside Script task. But it didn't work. The error precedence won't work, the package stop in flat file source instead. I've been trying the event handler but it didn't work either. Maybe I got wrong implementation, anybody can help me explain the error handler and solve the problem ?
Here is the capture of my package, since I didn't know how to attach the picture in this forum.
Thanks in advance.


Best regards,

Hery

Integration Services :: Precedence Constraint For Sequence Container

May 16, 2015

I have (6) sequence containers, each with a data flow task and script task. The script task renames the file and the data flow uses an OLE DB Source connection to export to a flat file using the Flat File Destination connection.For sI have been unable to move from the 1st sequence container to the 2nd (and the next and so on...). I am trying to do this "on success" (on failure I generate an email notification within each container), but am apparently missing a piece to this because after the sequence container executes, which it does successfully, nothing happens.

Division In A Precedence Constraint Expression Does Not Work Properly - Huh?

Dec 13, 2006

Greetings,

I have an expression in a precedence constraint that is returning false when it should return true. This is the expression that returns false:

((5500 / 9990) * 100) > 10

The following expression returns true. I did the division (5500 / 9990) myself and substituted the resulting value:

((0.55055055055055055055055055055055) * 100) > 10

Why is the first expression returning false? I'm stuck in the mud up to my axles on this and I know I'll probably feel like a fool when I learn the answer...

Thanks,

Enforcing Precedence Constraint While NOT Failing Package(On Failure Logic Ignored)

Aug 1, 2007

I have designed an SSIS package that :

(1) contains a for loop task (in which all the logic is contained) that loops through a particular folder for excel files
WITHIN THE FOR LOOP:
(2) pulls data from an excel file into SQL Tables(Data Transformation Task)
(3) run stored proc to validate data (Execute SQL TASK)
(4)ON SUCCESS of executing the SQL Task (Script Task - move file to success or reject folder based on value returned from sproc)
(5)ON FAILURE of executing the stored proc (Script Task - move file to bad format failure)

NOTE:
I have modified the MaximumErrorcount property of (1 FOR LOOP) and (3 EXECUTE SQL TASK) and the package itself to 0.
In order to deal with badly formatted excel files...I do not want the package to stop for every missing tab in excel file or data entry error. I simply want the badly formatted file to be moved to a special folder

PROBLEM:
on failure logic is never executed (I have 2 options after step (3)) on success do step (4) on failure do step (5)
step (3) fails...then it simply iterates to the next file
step 5 is never executed

Is this because I changed the maximumerrorcount property?
What am I doing wrong witht he Precendence Logic?

Integration Services :: Comparing Variable Value With Flat File Column In Precedence Constraint

Aug 4, 2015

I am creating one SSIS package where my source is oracle. I have transferred the data from Oracle to flat file as per client requirement.I have to create single package for 2 country 1 is US and another is CANADA Columns are below

ZONE_ID,
ZONE_NAME
Zone Id having data like 10001,10002,10003,20001,2002,2003

Where zone_id start with 1000 is US Zone and Zone_Id start with 2000 is Canada Zone.

For US:
1. Load geography data from DB tables into flat files
2. Load geography data from flat files to Spectrum DB tables

For Canada:
1. Load geography data from DB tables into flat files
2. Load geography data from flat files to Spectrum DB tables

Now I want to look from flat file if Zone_id start with 1000 then it must go to US_DFT and if Zone_id start with 2000 then it must go to CANADA_DFT.

Named Constraint Is Not Supported For This Type Of Constraint (not Null)

May 13, 2008

Hi, all.

I am trying to create table with following SQL script:





Code Snippet

create table Projects(
ID smallint identity (0, 1) constraint PK_Projects primary key,
Name nvarchar (255) constraint NN_Prj_Name not null,
Creator nvarchar (255),
CreateDate datetime
);

When I execute this script I get following error message:

Error source: SQL Server Compact ADO.NET Data Provider
Error message: Named Constraint is not supported for this type of constraint. [ Constraint Name = NN_Prj_Name ]

I looked in the SQL Server Books Online and saw following:

CREATE TABLE (SQL Server Compact)
...
< column_constraint > ::= [ CONSTRAINT constraint_name ] { [ NULL | NOT NULL ] | [ PRIMARY KEY | UNIQUE ] | REFERENCES ref_table [ ( ref_column ) ] [ ON DELETE { CASCADE | NO ACTION } ] [ ON UPDATE { CASCADE | NO ACTION } ]

As I understand according to documentation named constraints should be supported, however error message says opposite. I can rephrase SQL script by removing named constraint.





Code Snippet

create table Projects(
ID smallint identity (0, 1) constraint PK_Projects primary key,
Name nvarchar (255) not null,
Creator nvarchar (255),
CreateDate datetime
);
This script executes correctly, however I want named constraints and this does not satisfy me.

Maintenance Plan Wizard Vs Tsql Maintenance

Aug 17, 2007

Hello,

I have a question that I hope someone can clear up for me. I have come across a number of different suggestions on DB maintenance, for example reindexing with the following script:

USE DatabaseName --Enter the name of the database you want to reindex

DECLARE @TableName varchar(255)

DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables
WHERE table_type = 'base table'

OPEN TableCursor

FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DBCC DBREINDEX(@TableName,' ',90)
FETCH NEXT FROM TableCursor INTO @TableName
END

CLOSE TableCursor

DEALLOCATE TableCursor

My question is, doesn't the maintenance plan have this functionality inherent in it when you create the maintenance jobs to reindex? Is there a benefit to scripting things out vs just using the maintenance plan wizard for this sort of thing and any of the items it covers? I came from an Oracle background where this was a no-brainer but I am a bit confused on the choices with SQL Server.

Thanks.

Unique Constraint Error When There Is No Constraint

May 13, 2008

We are using SQL CE 3.5 on tablet PCs, that synchs with our host SQL 2005 Server using Microsoft Synchronization Services. On the tablets, when inserting a record, we get the following error:
A duplicate value cannot be inserted into a unique index. [ Table name = refRegTitle,Constraint name = PK_refRegTitle
But the only PK on this table is RegTitleID.

The table structure is:
[RegTitleID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[RegTitleNumber] [int] NOT NULL,
[RegTitleDescription] [varchar](200) NOT NULL,
[FacilityTypeID] [int] NOT NULL,
[Active] [bit] NOT NULL,

The problem occurs when a Title Number is inserted and a record with that number already exists. There is no unique constraint on Title Number.
Has anyone else experienced this?

GROUP BY Precedence

Mar 13, 2008

How is the column precedence determined when more then one column is included in the group by clause? I am using T-SQL.

for example:

SELECT VendorName, VendorState, SUM(Invoices.InvoiceTotal) AS InvoiceSum
FROM Vendors JOIN Invoices ON
Vendors.VendorID = Invoices.InvoiceID
GROUP BY VendorState, VendorName

I would expect this statement to group by VendorState first but my result set is grouping by VendorName and then VendorState.

Am I missing something?

Precedence Constrains

Jan 31, 2007

Hi there!

I've a few tasks in my dataflow. Some of them are executed depending on an precedence constrain. Works fine.

The problem is following: I want to write a success message (execute SQL task), when all the tasks who have been executed have done this with success. For example, i ve ten tasks, and 2 of them are executed (successfully). This is good, i want to execute my task to write the success message.

I tried to set these precedence constraints with EvalOP = ExpressionOrConstraint, Values = Success and an expression, what returns TRUE, when the task above is not executed (the condition from a precedence constraint above). But the task to write my message will never be executed, because it seems the task does'nt give any result (neither success nor failure) when they ar not executed, and so my AND-Constraint for the success message task will only get TRUE, when ALL task are executed (and successful).

Is there any chance to get somethink like "isSuccess OR IsNotExecuted" into a precedence constraint?

Thanks, Torsten

Precedence Puzzle

Aug 7, 2006

Hello folks,

I have probably a dumb newbie question but I can't find the answer anywhere.

On my Control Flow design pane I have two objects: a SQL task object and a Data flow task object. The first 'points' to the second. From my digging I believed that by indicating with the arrow from 1 to 2 that 1 would execute to finish before 2 was started.

My SQL taks is to truncate a table to receive the new data coming from the data flow task object. Instead 2 executes first and then 1. You can imagine producing an empty table was not my goal for this package.

Can anybody give me a clue?

Thanks....

Precedence Constraints

Nov 7, 2007

Hello,
I've recently begun exploring Integration Services and have a question regarding a Control Flow element.

I'm trying to understand precedence constraints. Specificially, the logical AND and logic OR components. If I have two constaints A and B where A is using a logical AND and B is using a logical OR, how are the constraints evaluated? The Evaluation Operation is set to "Expression and Constraint" for both constraints.

If my understanding is correct, path A would be followed if both A AND B are true. Path B would be followed if A OR B is true. Is this correct?

Orlanzo

Is there a way to control which match takes precedence, oris necessary to do it multiple times in the desired order, removingthose that hae already matched from consideration?Thanks,Jim Geissman

Problem With Precedence Expression

Aug 21, 2007

Hello,
I have a SQL Task the executes the following statement;

SELECT COUNT(SettleDate) AS CountResult
FROM SettleDateCount

I have the SQL Task Editor configured for a Single Row result set. The Result Name is CountResult, and the variable it populates is RowCountRes. RowCountRes is Int32 with EvaluateAsExpression set to False.

I have a boolean variable called RowCountStatus. It evaluates as the following expression;

@[User::RowCountRes] > 1

From the SQL Task, I have two different constraints, both of which evaluate with an expression. One constraint evaluates this way; @[User::RowCountStatus] = True
The other evaluates this way; @[User::RowCountStatus] = False

The idea is that if the count comes back from the sql statement greater than 1 then execution continues down one path, else it goes down the other path. Currently, the result comes back = 1. I expect that the 'False' path will execute, but the 'True' path executes instead.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help!

Precedence Completion Operation

Feb 14, 2007

I have three sequence containers setup to run in parallel. I have a final step that parses the log file and displays results, and I want to this to occur when all three containers have completed, success or failure. I therefore have a constraint from each container that feeds into my final step, and all three constraint types are set to "completion".

When I run the package and one of the tasks within a container fails (and fails its parent, but not the package) the final step is not executed.

If I take off all the constraints except one, the final step is executed as expected.

I am using checkpointing if that has any impact. Disabling it makes no difference.

Any thoughts/alternatives I might try?

thanks

Problem With Precedence Constraints

Aug 29, 2006

Hello,

I have a package that executes 2 sql tasks then another SSIS package. My precedence constraints between sql task 1 and sql task 2, and sql task 2 and the SSIS package check that @ErrorValue == 0.

@ErrorValue is set after each sql task (both of which execute stored procs) with the value of the output parameter for the stored proc. I have run both stored procs on the server and both return 0 in the output parameter.

When I run the package the two sql tasks execute as expected (tasks turn green indicating success) but the package stops at that point and the SSIS package task never executes.

If I remove the second sql task and connect the first sql task to the package task with the @ErrorValue == 0 precendence constraint the package task still does not execute (even though the constraint worked to get the sql task 2 to execute).

The package only runs if I remove the expression in the second precedence constraint (between sql task 2 and the package) thus changing it to simply 'on success'.

Please help!

Objects In Precedence Constraints?

Is it possible to use objects in precedence constraints? For example, I have a collection object that may or may not be populated in a script at some point and want to be able to execute different paths depending upon whether the Count property equals zero or not.

I realize I could very easily just create another int variable and populate it accordingly, but I am just curious about this. I couldn't get it to work, but then I am really just starting out here and just not sure if I am doing it wrong.

SSIS Precedence Constrains Not Showing

Dec 5, 2007

I have DTSX package where all the Control Flow Boxes are connected by precedence constraints (the Green Lines).
However, only half of them visible!
If I try and add another it says:

Cannot create connector.
Only one workflow can exist between the same two executables.
I don't want to have to drop and create them all the constraints (because there are a lot of them!)
But I can't even do that - since I can't see them, I can't select them; and I don't think I can delete them without being able to select them. Am I missing something? Zooming in makes everything larger, but it doesn't make my Green Lines reappear.
Help!

And yes, I'm using the latest version of everything:-

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
