SSIS-Expression Builder
am trying to do the following in SSIS.
I have Execute Process Task, in which I have the values are set for Executable, Arguments and working Directory manually. I keep changing this if the Connection Manager points to Dev or when it points to QA or to Prod. Instead I want to do like this.
If my Connection Manager points to Dev, the Executale , Arguments and Working Directory should automatically change. Else if it points to QA, the Executale , Arguments and Working Directory should automatically change and similarly for Prod.
Is this possible in Expression Builder in Execute Process Task. If so, how?.
Thank you

Quick SSIS Expression Builder Question
This works: len ((DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mm", getdate()))==1 ? (DT_WSTR,1)0 + (DT_WSTR,1)DATEPART("mm", getdate()) : (DT_WSTR,4)DATEPART("mm", getdate()) This doesn't: "dataware/"+ len ((DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mm", getdate()))==1 ? (DT_WSTR,1)0 + (DT_WSTR,1)DATEPART("mm", getdate()) : (DT_WSTR,4)DATEPART("mm", getdate()) I tried a couple of different things at this point, where am I missing the cast? Before len? Cast to what?

Enabling Expression Builder For Custom SSIS DataFlow Source Component
Hi, I have implemented a custom source component that can be used as the data source in the Data Flow task. I have also created a custom UI for this component by using the IDtsComponentUI . But my component does not have the capability of setting the custom properties via the DTS Variables using the Expression Builder. I have looked around for samples on how to do this, but I can only find samples of how to do this for custom Control Tasks, i.e. IDtsTaskUI. My question is, How can implement the Expression Builder in my custom Source component + custom Source UI. Or do you know of any samples which I can look at. Thank you, Jameel.

Expression Builder Question
Hi all of you, When you're making expressions with your own variables and system variables and so on. How could I see the contents for each variable? When you have an expression like this: "Cargas de Hacienda. " + SUBSTRING( @[System:ackageName], 7,20) + " " You can perfectly click above "Evaluated value" and see the resutl but I mean, individually over each variable on the variables listview is not possible. Thanks for any input or advice, Enric

Bug In Report Builder When Using Expression
I ran in to a strange problem in Report Builder. I drop a few fields from my Report Model on a simple talbe report. Some of them are straight forwards attributes and some of them are expressions. Now in the table layout of a report I have say a attribute named as "Account Number". This attribute is actually a field from a table. I change the column header to a two line column header with €œAccount€? on one line and €œNumber€? on second line. No problem, piece of cake. Now tried the same thing on an expression type attribute, say "Principal Balance". When I split the column header on two line I get this following error. ============================================================== Semantic query compilation failed: e MeasureNotFound One of the SubtotalMeasures.MeasureName properties of the SemanticQuery refers to the Measure Expression 'Principal Balance', which does not exist. (SemanticQuery ''). ---------------------------- An error has occurred during report processing. ============================================================== If you read the error you will realize that the query is trying to find an expression named "Principal" (newline char) "Balance" and it fails. This expression is nothing but a sum aggregation on a field in the underlying table. If I put the "Principal Balance" back on one line report runs like a charm. Also note that exact same report in Designer no issues at all. FYI: I am in SQL Server 2005 with SP2. (tried it both on Standard and Enterprise versions.)

String Parsing And Expression Builder....
I can't figure this one out. I don't have enough knowledge of the string functions I guess. I need to pull a value out of a variable I setup in a for each loop. The value is the filename/path of each source file being processed. Let's say the variable that has the source file path is called VAR1. One sort of off topic thing I've noticed is when watch the variable in bebug mode and I look at the value of VAR1 it has double back slashes. Here's an example of the value of VAR1: "\\L3KRZR6.na.xerox.net\C$\Documents and Settings\ca051731\Desktop\Project4\DPT_20070926.ver" How come the back slashes have been doubled? And do I need to account for that when I start parsing the string value? Anyway, I need to grab part of the filename from VAR1 and I need the value populated at the start of the for each loop container - ideally when I capture VAR1 in the for each container. I'll be using the string in drop table, create table and create index statements before the actual Data Flow task within the overall package In the above example I need to grab the characters before the underscore and after the last \. So I'd need the string "DPT" captured in this example. The actual string could be 1 to 3 characters long, even though this example has it as 3 long. Underscores could exist anywhere in the actual UNC path once this package is moved to our actual system environments so I can't key off of the underscore. Because I can't count on the string being a fixed lenght I can't just use a positional string function and grab specific text starting/ending at specific points. Is there a way to use the various string functions in the expression builder to grab the text between the right most underscore and the right most back slashes or something like that? Ideally I'd like to setup a new expression based packed scope variable called VAR2 and build it using string functions applied to VAR1.

Both Foreground And Background Color Appear To Be White In Expression Builder...

You can highlight the text you type and it shows up but otherwise it is obviously invisible. Anyone know how to fix this?

Cannot Access Expression Builder Via Variable Properties Window (no Ellipsis)
Has anyone encountered this before? My colleague opens up an SSIS package with variables, many of which use expressions built with the Expression Builder. She cannot bring up the Expression Builder by clicking the ellipsis (...) in the "Expression" Property of the Property Window, regardless of whether "EvaluateAsExpression" is set to True or False. I can open up this same package and use the Expression Builder just fine. Any ideas? Apologies if this has been answered already, I did many searches to try to find the solution before posting here.

SSIS Expression Result Limit Of 4000 Bytes
I have a package with an input column that is varchar(8000). I want to strip the first byte off of this column and put it in one result column and the remainder of the field I want to go to a second column. If the input column is an empty string, I want to return NULL. Pulling the first byte off works fine, no issues, however putting the remainder of the input column into an output column is giving me a little trouble. If I use this expression: LEN(FLD1) == 0 ? NULL(DT_WSTR,1) : SUBSTRING(FLD1, 2, LEN(FLD1) - 1)) I get an error that says my expression evaluates to a string of greater than 4000 bytes. If I do this instead: LEN(FLD1) == 0 ? NULL(DT_WSTR,1) : RTRIM(SUBSTRING(FLD1, 2, 7999)) The expression passes muster but I get the warning that I will be truncating the column at 4000 bytes. In actuality, I don't care if the result column is truncated after 4000 bytes. I find the second solution to be a bit clunky and I'm wondering if anyone can give me a reason why the first solution won't evaluate but the second will?

Building Expression Like Properties In Custom SSIS Tasks
Ive been using SSIS for a month or two and now find I need to create some custom tasks to perform some performance logging. in the the overloaded ProviderComponentProperties section I am trying to create a property which has the same look as the Expressions properties you find elsewhere (Little + on the left and a group of sub properties when expanded). Ive have played with creating a IDTSCustomPropertyCollection90 collection then adding my sub properties to it but I cant seem to then add my new collection to the ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertiesCollection. Im assuming the Expressions parameter is a collection added to the properties collection but I cant figure out how. Any help would be much appreciated.

SSIS &&"XML Source Adapter&&" Can't Make XSD Location An Expression
I am using the "XML Source Adapter" in an SSIS package. I notice that although you can specify the XML filename as an expression, the XSD appears to have to be a fixed file path. This is a problem for me since the path for the XSD is different in my development than it will be in production (in production it's on drive E:, which I don't have). I'd like to have the file location specified in the config file, but since I can't make it an expression how can I do that? Also, since they don't have Connection Managers I can't switch DelayValidation on. Thanks.

Using A Variable In An Expression To Populate The &&"executable&&" Property Of An Execute Process Task In SSIS
Hello, I am having a hard time setting the executable path for an Execute Process Task in SSIS. I have a variable that is initialized at package statup which holds the path to an executable in Windows. When I set the property "Executable" Path in an expression, I get a warning that the path for the executable is not set. One workaround was to try and initialize the variable with a bogus path with the hopes that the "correct" value will be written on run-time. NO LUCK. I still get the error and I cannot run the package until I put a static path. Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on?? Mike

Report Builder: How To Provide Parameter In The Report Generated Report Builder
Hi All, I have used Report Builder in one of the project for client. Is it possible to provide parameter in the report that is generated by Report Builder? It's quite the same with the parameter in usual Report/RDL (by Visual Studio). And is it possible to pass the UserID that is running the report to the Data Source View or directly to the query? Currently, I need to get the UserID of the user that runs the report to do some filtering of the data (in SQL Query). I can do this easily in the RDL file developed by Visual Studio, which I can use global parameter User!UserID and pass to query. I find difficulty to use SQL Execution Context (select USER_NAME(),SUSER_NAME()), because report needs to be run as certain account, so that the report can be subscribed by user (e.g. email subscription). How to pass this UserID to the query/data without end-user intervention in Report Builder? Thanks.

Report Builder
I am attempting to create a report using the report builder. I can see the button for the report builder on my report server but nothing happens when you click it. I also attempted to go directly to the url but once again nothing. Finally, I attempted to run the application directly from the file structure and in doing so there I got the following errors. Could not find file 'reportbuilder.chm.deploy'. I created a junk text file with the same file name and attemted to run the app again and this time I got a error that said: Could not find file 'reportbuilder.exe.deploy'. After that I created another junk text file and named it the same as that. This is part of the errors that I recieved. This doesn't suprise me based on the hack I did to get to this point. Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log. * Activation of Reporting ServicesReportServerReportBuilderReportBuilder.application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected: + Exception occurred loading manifest from file ReportBuilder.exe: the manifest may not be valid or the file could not be opened. + File ReportBuilder.exe is not a valid Portable Executable (PE) file. + PE file does not have enough data.

Now I'd like to see what is available to the end-user after I, as a developer, am sick to tears of making and customizing reports. So I went to Report Builder. I open Report Builder and see the list of my five entities. Then when I drag and drop a field from one of the entities to the report designer, ALL of the four other entities DISAPPEAR! Can you not design a report in Report Builder using fields from multiple entities? The design of our databases have much to be desired, so that would make using Report Builder impossible...

Report Builder And CRM 3.0
Hello: Does anybody know of an easy way to give lots of end-users of MS CRM 3.0 permission to create reports using the Report Builder? Heck, what's an efficient way to give lots of non-admin type users (regardless of CRM) the capability to use the Report Builder? Right now it seems that every Windows user has to be granted rights on an individual basis. Based on various documentation, it appears that assigning the Report Builder role is meaningless unless users are defined under Site-Wide Settings as being either a System Administrator or System User. I know CRM creates a user called ReportingGroup, but assigning it a site-wide setting of System User with a Report Builder role doesn't flow to the individual members of ReportingGroup. According to some other documentation I came across, ReportBuilder is a clickonce app that essentially needs to verify that the actual individual Windows user is permitted to access ReportBuilder. Given this fact, then it would seem to me that granting a group appropriate permissions to Report Builder is pointless. In general, I'm failing to find solid information on SSRS2005 security and CRM 3.0, specifically as it relates to Report Builder permissions. Does anyone have recommendations? Thanks.
