Small Necessary Changes Missing In SP2. Any Idea If This Is In Pipeline
1. i find it hard to believe that I cannot use stylesheets for textboxes or for that matter anything. I have to manually go and edit every textbox.
2. I have to define at t global level if a link opens in a new window or same window.
Anyone has ideas if this is even in the pipeline to be done?. I had asked the same questions on the release of SQL Server RS and that time it was thought that it would already be there in SP1/SP2. But i do not see it.
Or anyone has ideas how to achieve the above?

How Do I Write Multiple Pipeline Buffer To Multiple Targets Based On A Calculated Value In The Pipeline Buffer
The scenario is as follows: I have a source with many rows. Each row has a column called max_qty_value. I need to perform a calculation using another column called qty. This calculation is something similar to dividing qty/(ceiling) max_qty_value. Once I have that number I need to write an additional duplicate row for each value from the prior calculation performed. For example, 15/4 = 4. I need to write 4 rows to the same target table as in line information for a purchase order. The multicast transform appears to only support fixed and/or predetermined outputs. How do I design this logic in SSIS to write out dynamic number of rows to a target table. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks John

Pipeline
Hi, I want to incorporate this code but I dont know how to import Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline in an Integration Services Project template. I was thinking of putting this code in the script task but still, I cant import Pipeline. Add reference list does not have it as well. Please let me know how to incorporate this code. Thanks! Code: if (ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection["SourceFileConnection"].ConnectionManager != null) { cm = DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager(ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection["SourceFileConnection"].ConnectionManager); if (cm.CreationName == "FILE") { fileUsage = (Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSFileConnectionUsageType)cm.Properties["FileUsageType"].GetValue(cm); if (fileUsage == Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSFileConnectionUsageType.FileExists) { connectionString = ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection["SourceFileConnection"].ConnectionManager.AcquireConnection(transaction).ToString(); if (connectionString == null || connectionString.Length == 0) { throw new Exception("No file name specfiy"); } } else throw new Exception("Incorrect file connection usage type, should be set to exiting file type"); } else throw new Exception("Connection is not a file connection"); } else throw new Exception("Connection is not as assign");

SQL 2K5 SSIS DTS.Pipeline Errors
We have deployed an SSIS package successfully to production. We needed to apply SP1 to fix a different issue and now have encountered a new problem. We have numerous Data Reader Sources in different Data Flow Tasks that connect to a IBM iSeries (DB2) source. Pretty simple extracts that have worked fine in the past. They pump the data into staging tables on the SQL2K5 instance running the package (64-bit). After we applied SP1 however, all of the Data Reader tasks fail AFTER they successfully copy the records with the following error. [iSeries Invoice Details [1]] Error: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.DataReaderSourceAdapter.PrimeOutput(Int32 outputs, Int32[] outputIDs, PipelineBuffer[] buffers) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ManagedComponentHost.HostPrimeOutput(IDTSManagedComponentWrapper90 wrapper, Int32 outputs, Int32[] outputIDs, IDTSBuffer90[] buffers, IntPtr ppBufferWirePacket) If I delete the source and destination and recreate identical transforms, they work fine, but I don't feel like rebuilding all of the extracts. Any ideas! The problem occurs in all environments that we've tried. TIA, Michael Shugarman P.S. I just tried the SP2 CTP, but that doesn't fix the problem.

Remove Duplicates Within Pipeline
I have a situation where we get XML files sent daily that need uploading into SQL Server tables, but the source system producing these files sometimes generates duplicate records in the file. The tricky part is, that the record isn't entirely duplicated. What I mean, is that if I look for duplicates by grouping the key columns, having count(*) > 1, I find which ones are duplicates, but when I inspect the data on these duplicates, the other details in the remaining columns may differ. So our rule is: pick the first record, toss the rest of the duplicates. Because we don't sort on any columns during the import, the first record kept of the duplicates is arbitrary. Again, we can't tell at this point which of the duplicated records is more correct. Someday down the road, we will do this research. Now, I need to know the most efficient way to accomplish this in SSIS. If it makes it easier, I could just discard all the duplicates, since the number of them is so small. If the source were a relational table, I could use a SQL statement to filter the records to remove the duplicates, but since the source is an XML file, I don't know how to filter these out in the pipeline, since the file has to be aggregated to search for dups. Thanks Kory

DTS.Pipeline.1 In SQL Server 2008
Hi I have an existing application that programmatically builds SSIS 2005 packages. I'm trying to get to working with the February CTP of SQL Server 2008. Having changed all the 2005 references to 2008 references and things like IDTSComponentMetaData90 to IDTSComponentMetaData100, my application compiles okay now, but hits a problem when it tries to create a Data Flow task. The code which worked fine before (and seems to still be the recommended way in Books Online is): Code Snippet Dts.TaskHost myMainPipe = (Dts.TaskHost)container.Add("DTS.Pipeline.1"); However, this now produces the exception: Cannot create a task with the name "DTS.Pipeline.1". Verify that the name is correct. Should I be using a different moniker now? I took a stab at "DTS.Pipeline.2", but that didn't make a difference. Thanks, Andrew

Would You Like The Ability To Hide Columns In The Pipeline?
Alot of people complain, legitamately, that they wish to remove columns from the SSIS pipeline that they know are not going to be used again. This would help to avoid the "clutter" that can exist when there are alot of columns in the pipeline. If you are one of those people then click-through below, vote and (most importantly) add a comment.

SSIS DTS.Pipeline To MSAccess Databse
I cannot get a simple package to execute a data pump to an access database from SQL2005. I have tried it in both SSIS and by running the Export data function. I have been able to write to this database in the past using dtp in SQL2000 but I am not able to write to it using SQL2005. What is the deal with the new SSIS? Does anybody have any ideas I can try to get my export to work. I have many more to do and I have to migrate over all of my SQL 2000 DTS packages to SQL2005 and some export to MSAccess. This is the only error message I can find: [DTS.Pipeline] Information: "component "OLE DB Destination 1" (2196)" wrote 0 rows. Edit: I found more errors in the debug section and a post here that discussed the problem as they had run into it. I was able to use part of that and some more research in order to tackle my problem. I would still be interested in finding out why I suddenly had this problem arise after I upgraded to SQL2005. This is going to be a real pain as apparently SQL2005 treats NULL as Zero Length and now all of my databsaes that had that set in access will have to be modified to deal with this in the export.

ReUse Common Surrogate Key Pipeline
I have several stage to star (i.e. moving data from a staging table through the key lookups into a fact table) ETL transformations in a single SSIS package. Each fact table has a different set of measures but the identical foreign key set, e.g. ConsultantKey, SubsidiaryKey, ContestKey, ContestParamKey and MonthKey. Currently I have to replicate the key lookup (Surrogate Key Pipeline, or SKP) for each data flow. If I could cache each dimension one time in the package and reuse it for each stage to fact it would be much more efficient. Is there a way for me to reuse a common data flow?

How To Update A Dimension Column With The Pipeline Tasks
I have been working with DTS and ETL in data warehousing projects for several years and my question is this. You can only update a dimension column with SSIS by using TSQL-update statements. There is no way to do this except issuing TSQL from the control flow or the data flow? This subject is not mentioned in Wrox SSIS book nore in Kirk Haseldens book. When you run the SCD task in the data flow you will get an OLEDB command that actually do this, issue a TSQL-statement. Is this correct? Regards Thomas Ivarsson

Adding Column Attributes For Custom Pipeline Component
I'm building a custom transform component. I want to mark some input columns as keys for deduplicating. In a similar way to the provided Sort component, I want to check those columns and allow pass-throughs (or not) for the others - so next to each input column name I need two checkboxes (1:use for dedupe; 2:include in output if 1 not checked). If a column is checked for use in the dedupe, I want some other attributes to be shown indicating how it will be used. How do I display the checkboxes to let users select which columns to include for deduplication, and then how do I add further attributes underneath (copying the Sort component's look) for selection? Thanks in advance for guidance and pointers on this.

Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.PipelineBuffer Column Ordinal From Name?
Hi, I need to access columns from a data flow by ordinal position in a script transformation (I'm parsing an excel file which has several rowsets across the page). The first problem I encountered is the generated BufferWrapper does not expose the columns collection (i.e. Input0Buffer(0) does not work) but I got around that by implementing my own ProcessInputs(InputId, Buffer) method instead of using the wrapper. My problem now is that the column ordinals are in some random order (i.e. Column "F1" is ordinal 1 but Column "F2" is 243). Where in the object model can I map between the name and the ordinal - it's not jumping out at me? Dave PS Why is the script editor modal, it's frustrating having to switch between the Visual Studio environment and the VSA one.

Can A DTS Do This For Me , If So, Any Idea How?
Hi all, I am new to the DTS game - or at least to trying to do anything other than transfer rows between databases with identical structures. I now need to create a far more complex DTS package to transfer data between an SQL Server database (I am using SQL Server 7.0) and an Oracle database. I have no trouble in making the connections and performing simple DTS's beween the two. However, my current task is more complicated. Problem 1: In one database I would store fifty values as 5 five records each containing 10 values (i.e. has ten fields). However, in the other database these fifty values would all be stored as one record (i.e. one row with 50 fields). How could I go about creating a DTS to transfer this information? Problem 2: These values should only be transfered if certain conditions are met in an another unrelated table. For example, a flag in another table indicating that transfer of the said values should occur. Any help with either of these problems would be much appraciated. Thanks in advance, Ross

Hi guysWe have a following problem. For security reasons in each table in ourDB we have addition field which is calculated as hash value of allcolumns in particular row.Every time when some field in particular row is changed we create andcall select query from our application to obtain all fields for thisrow and then re-calculate and update the hash value again.Obviously such approach is very ineffective, the alternative is tocreate trigger on update event and then execute stored procedure whichwill re-calculate and update the hash value. The problem with thisapproach is that end user could then change the date in the tables andthen run this store procedure to adjust hash value.We are looking for some solution that could speed up the hash valueupdating without allowing authorized user to do itThanks in advance,Leon

An Interesting Idea...
Having no more experience than reading books online, here is an interesting idea I would like to run by you guys and you can let me know if it is feasible or tell me I need to put the crack pipe down... We are going to increase the number of disks in our SAN, and I was speaking with the SAN administrator and he mentioned the shuffling of logical drives to match the new space. He said he is going to have to go through quite a few combinations/permutations on figuring out the best configuration for what data goes on the old vs. new to get the optimal space. Is this something that can be modeled out? I can write something that recursively figures it out, but why not explore fun ideas with tools that may be able to do it?

Can Anyone Explain To Me Why This Is Not A Good Idea
I have a complex select statement that is used in several stored procedures. I decided that instead of having x number of T-SQL scripts with the same exact select statement that I would to put this query into a view and then do a select * from View. Recently an instructor told me that this was a bad idea and that anyone who uses a select * from anything should be fired. When I asked for his reasoning his response was to say the least abnoxious. I can understand why a Select * from Table might be a bad idea as the table definition can change, but the chances of a view changing seems much less likely. Is a view a good idea in this case? Is the Select * from View really a bad idea? Thanks

Idea On Hardware Purchase
I am looking for a good reference on hardware specs for a dedicated SQL server. I don't want to talk to vendors, because I'm not looking to get snowed. Does anyone know of any resources? The server is to be a dedicated dataserver, for about 300 clients.

Concurrency (recap And Idea).....
With respect to my (now not so recent) thread on Concurrency, I would liketo run my idea past you gurus to see if its a runner. First, a brief recap:I have a single user system (one user, one copy of the software, one copy ofMSDE, one machine) that I wish to convert into a multi-user/single databasenetworked system. The problem I had was that a lot of information isfetched from the database and cached in the client program (the programimplements a tree structure, similar to a file system, and each of the nodesin the system has properties). The concurrency issue revolved around havingmultiple users updating these properties and possibly able to modify thetree structure and there being no way to notify the other clients that theyneed to refresh their data structures. Consider the system to be similar toVSS to look at (and in VSS, people can make modifications to the treestructure also!).Ok, one of the suggestions was time stamping each record. So, when one usermodifies the record, a second user can detect whether their timestamp isdifferent and thus whether or not their update is invalid (and also whetheror not the client program needs to refresh the properties of the givennode). How about instead of a timestamp I simply use a reference counter.ie. an integer that increments every time the record is modified (sameprinciple). I don't need to know when it was changed, just that the tworeference counters are different between when I fetched and when I amupdating the record.Secondly, I think I have to distinguish between a change in properties and achange in structure. For example, User A doesn't need to know about achange in properties for a node he is not currently looking at. However,that same user will want to be told about any change to the overall treestructure. So, I was thinking that any operations involving modificationsto the tree structure should set a "structure changed" flag in the database(increment a counter). After any operation is performed, the clientcompares its "changed" flag to the database value to see if it needs toreload the tree structure.Do you think this is workable?Thanks.Robin

Design Idea Help For Database
we are creating a database of sales agents. Basically I have a tableof about 35,000 people, a second one with 8000 offices, and a thirdtable of around 400,000 transactions done by those 35,000 people inthose 8000 offices. We get new data everyday that just updates theexisting tables with the updated rosters and transactions.I want to build a quick website where our recruiters can look up thosepeople and keep contact info and all that fun stuff but also pullnumbers on those people. Like* How Many Transactions that Sales Agent did last year* Rosters by office showing productionThe goal is to click the users name and see all the percentages,commissions and data like that which we will get by searching thattable of transactions by the agents ID.the problems I see right away are stuff like* If I were to pull a report showing all agents in a single office withtheir number of transactions next to their name, that is a HUGE query.It would have to search the 400k worth of records for each of theagents on just that one report.A suggestions I was givenI was told by a fellow programmer a better way to do this is to have anadditional table that houses stats info and have the SQL server runautomated reports everyday at say midnight where it updates that table.This table could show stuff like** number of transactions for each user** avg sales price on all transactions for each user** avg commission on transaction for each userlet me know your thoughtsthanks in advanceMonkey Girl
