I do not know the Excel file name to load in design time.
Would like to pass the value to a variable in the package in run time?
How to do this?
Thanks,

In SSIS in Sql task we have option to pass parameter or variable..But in Data Flow Task when we use Data Reader Source using ADO.NET connection..There is no option to pass parameter or variable Or no option to receive a parameter or variable .
I am having a query were it need to pass a parameter.in sql task ...And Data Reader Source have to receive this parameter from sql task .
Sql Task finds a value of parameter and pass to DataReader Source in DataFlow Task .. ...
Please can any one help me to solve this problem of Receiving parameter or variable in DataReader Source using DAO.Net connection in DataFlow Task..thank you dilsa
Hi,
I have a data flow task within a foreach file loop. My problem occurs when I tried to make up an expression for the connection string of the Excel connection manager. Somehow I can see only system variables and none of the variables which I set up within the scope of the foreach file loop.
Can anyone provide me any insight into this mystery? As far as I can see, all the variables I created in the foreach file loop are still showing on the variable windows (without the Show All Variable button clicked).
Thank you very much and hope to hear from someone soon!

Hello,
I've created a SSIS Solution and have created Data Sources. I have two packages. One was created before the Data Sources, and one was created after. The package that was created after is using connections from the Data Sources. I want to change the package before the Data Soruces were created to use them, but when I right click in the Connection Managers pane "New Connection From Data Source.." is not an option.
Did I not add it to the Solution properly?
How do I get it to show?
Did I not refresh something?
Please provide the how if you figure it out.
Thanks
For seting up the connection should we use Connection Manager or New Connection From Data Source?
The advantage of using Data Source is that we have the connection avalilable at project level but I've studied it somewhere that Data Source is used for SSAS not SSIS.
But I don't have enough explanation to give it to my team, that why I am not using Data Source.
We are working on VSS, do we have to reset the connection managers if want to test our packages on some other machine(else than the one on which it was developed)?
Hi all,
I don't really understand the difference between the "data source" and the "connection manager" in a SSIS solution.
I tried to create a data source (if I understood correctly, I will ba able to share that connection between all packages in the solution), then I create a new connection manager inside a package. But when I make a modification in the data source, nothing change in the connection manager ?!!?
What I think is that when I'm making a new connection manager, what's really happen is a copy of the data source, is that correct ? If it is I dont't understand the avantage of making a new data source ....
Thanks for your response

I have deployed my packages into Sql Server and I am using Configuration File. As my Data Source is Excel, I have changed the connection string during deployment with Server Path. But I am getting the following errors. Actually the File Exist in Path. May I know What is cause of the issue? Do I need to give any permission to execute the package.

I have an issue when using Report Manager for viewing reports that use a certain Oracle data source. When viewing the reports in Report Designer the reports display without problems. But when trying to display the reports with Report Manager, after deploying the reports to the Report Server, I now get the following error message:
blablabla....ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
For testing purposes I am running Report Designer, Report Server and Report Manager locally on a PC with Windows XP. I am using Reporting Services 2005, IIS 6, Visual Studio 2005, an Oracle 9.x client and an Oracle 9.x (not 100% sure) database that is hosted on a remote server.
Earlier I got an error message that stated "ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified". Access rights to some Oracle folders for the Network service account did the trick here but then I got the "NLS parameter" error message. What I have tried to do is removing the NLS_LANG register variable and also modified the value of the variable so that it matches the value of the NLS_LANG variable on the server that hosts the Oracle database, but none of them have worked. Any ideas?
Maybe this is an issue that is more appropriate in an Oracle forum but what the heck..the problem could reside in Reporting Services..
Thanks, Stefan
I changed one data source settings in my SSIS project to use Windows Authentication instead of SQL Authentication. This data source is used to create connection managers in all SSIS packages. Soon after the data source was changed, when I opened any package using the connection manager that is based on this changed data source, I got an alert message box like the one given below showing different connection strings in data source and package connection manager. That's understandable (why can't VS 2005 do this silently or give an option to let this happen silently? that would be nice.).
Here is the problem. Even after both data source and connection manager are synchronized, still the same message box keeps on coming when ever I open any affected package (about 20 packages!). It is very annoying as you can see that old and new connection strings ARE IDENTICAL, still VS 2005 is not able to recognize this. I installed VS2005 SP1 even before I ran into this problem. I asked my friends to open this project and check the behavior on his machine. Same thing. Is this a known bug? How to fix this problem? Thanks for your help.

I want to use Import/Export wizard. In "Choose a data Source" screen, I can't see "Flat File" in "Data Source" List. Please help me how to insatall (or find) flat file connection manager
Thanks
I have a task that uses an Excel connection manager to read in an Excel file. In the file there are 6 date columns. The date columns can have either a date or the letters NA. If I look at the External Column properties from the advanced tab, 4 of the date columns have a datatype of DT_DATE. The other 2 date columns have a datatype of DT_WSTR. The 4 columns with DT_DATE, my data looks okay as when it is read by the connection manager. The issue is that the 2 columns that are DT_WSTR, all dates are turned into NULLS, while the NA's are just fine. I have tried to change the datatypes in the advanced tab to DT_DATE, but it won't work.
I don't have any idea what to do to get this working correctly. Can anyone PLEASE provide some insight and suggestions or a solution?
Hi,
I am working on SQL Server 2005 (x64) with Windows Server 2003 (x64) operating system. I am having a major issue in SSIS. Here is the detailed explanation of the issue :
I have an EXCEL file in 2003 / 2007 version. It contains some data. I want to import the data using SSIS into SQL Server 2005 (x64) database table. I have taken "EXCEL FILE SOURCE" and "SQL Server DESTINATION". It was failed on importing data. Surprisingly it works fine in SQL Server 2005 (x32). Can you please explain why it is NOT woking on (x64) ?
Here is the error code i am getting:

In Data Flow task, I have ole db source which should take the dynamic filename from user variable "filename". whats happening is when i give fixed filename, without foreach loop container the package is working fine.
with dynamic filename, I am not able to run the package because of ole db source Error - cannot aquire connection from connection manager.

I'm trying to create a DataReader source object using a working ADO.NET Oracle Client connection object that exists in the connection manager.
Problem:
When I open the editor the DataReaderSrc component shows only one row under the Connection Managers tab:
Name=IDbConnection
Connection Manager=blank
Description=Managed connection manager
I cannot assign the ADO.NET connection (or any connections). I see a warning at the bottom of the Connection Managers tab:
"Not all connection managers have been set. Set all connection managers."
When I click refresh the warning message changes to:
"The runtime connection manager with the ID "" cannot be found. Verify that the connection manager collection has a connection manager with that ID."
I am prevented from removing the IDbConnection or assigning my Connection Manager object to the DataReader Source.
Thanks, -- Mike
I have a table which contains a column ([Connection String]) that has every connection string for the SQL instances on our estate.
I have a package which will import data from a single instance, but how do I set the connection manager so that it uses a variable and is populated by a selecting the connection strings from my central database?
Do I use a cursor to select the next connection string?
Within an SSIS Package, we are trying to change the connection string of an output file connection manager at runtime (used for package logging).
To do this, we have defined variables with package-level scope and set the connection manager connection string to this variable. The first step of the package is to set these variables. The second step begins the rest of the package operations (moving data). The package executes successfully, but the log file is never created/appended to.
When the package is debugged, I can verify that the variables are being set correctly in the script task and that the variable values are being passed to the connection manager data sources.
Any ideas why this isn€™t working?
Hello,
I have a question regarding which expressions need to be set to have the excel connection manager be able to create/update a file dynamically. I'm reading a path in from a database and storing it in a variable. The path is just the location of an excel file. What I would like to have happen is that the excel connection manager be dynamic so that if I wanted to change where this file went or the name I could simply change the value in the database.
I've tried setting the expressions, in the Excel connection Manager: ConnectionString,ExcelFilePath, and Servername to the variable \pathfolderfile.xls with no luck. The ConnectionString seems to be a little funny because it contains Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source = ; Extended Properties =; HDR=YES", so I don't know if I can just use that expression and ignore the others or what.
Any help would appreciated,
Phil

So from the message I'm assuming that somewhere in the package configuration its missing the path to be able to find the Excel spreadsheet in question. But when opening up the package configuration I can't see anything immediately wrong. For the path of the spreadsheet location I've used the full UNC path instead of any mapped drive locations I've being guilty of using in the past. Below is the Excel Connection Manager section of my configuration file:
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[Excel Connection Manager].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">

I've checked the rest of the configuration file and wherever something needs a username and password, they are entered correctly. I've also made sure that the account I'm logged onto our server and running the package under can access the excel file in question with no issues.
What is abit strange is that I have another package that runs in a similar way and also uses an Excel Connection Manager but from a different folder in the same area and that runs fine. I've tried to compare the 2 sets of connection managers to see if I can spot the difference but I've been unable to so far. Al that I can see that is different is the folder winningproject somtimes being in lowercase and then sometimes having capitals, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
I'm hoping a fresh pair of eyes will be able to spot something obvious that I've missed!! Below is the Excel Connection Manager section of the configuration file I have that works fine.:

[One day I will come back here and answer questions, rather than only ask.]
I have a custom connection manager that returns an OleDbConnection. The only thing "custom" about the connection manager is how it determines its connection string. The object returned in AcquireConnection is an OleDbConnection.
Code:public override object AcquireConnection(object txn)
{
UpdateConnectionString();
OleDbConnection oleDbConnection = new OleDbConnection(this.connectionString);
oleDbConnection.Open();
return oleDbConnection;
}
Some of the objects within SSIS only work with an OleDbConnection, but mine is not recognized as such. Is there any way to have my connection recognized as a valid connection?
Thanks in advance.

I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table. A couple columns are coming in a double precision float, but some values have characters in them, but those values are coming out as null, even though I changed the datatype from float to unicode string. Any inputs on resolving this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

I am following the samples in the online books. I've got an OLEDB connection manager and source component defined. I now want to create an Excel connection manager and destination component (see below). How can I do this?
Dim conMgr As ConnectionManager = package.Connections.Add("OLEDB")
conMgr.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" "Data Source=FLL-EIS;Initial Catalog=DataLoad;" & _
"Integrated Security=SSPI;"
conMgr.Name = "SSIS Connection Manager for OLE DB"
conMgr.Description = "OLE DB connection to FLL-EIS."
' Create and configure an OLE DB source component.
Dim source As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New
source.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.OleDbSource"
' Create the design-time instance of the source.
Dim srcDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = source.Instantiate
srcDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()
' Assign the connection manager.
source.RuntimeConnectionCollection(0).ConnectionManager = _
DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(conMgr)
' Set the custom properties of the source.
srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("AccessMode", 2)
srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("SqlCommand", Dts.Variables("User::gsQuery").Value.ToString)
' Connect to the data source,
' and then update the metadata for the source.
srcDesignTime.AcquireConnections(Nothing)
srcDesignTime.ReinitializeMetaData()
srcDesignTime.ReleaseConnections()
' Create and configure an OLE DB destination. (This is where I need help, as this code does not work)
Dim destination As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New
destination.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.ExcelDestination"
' Create the design-time instance of the destination.
Dim destDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = destination.Instantiate
' Where can I find documentation about the various ComponentClassIds and Properties???
destDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()
destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("ExcelFilePath", Dts.Variables("User::gsExcelFile").Value.ToString)
destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("TableName", Dts.Variables("User::gsSheetName").Value.ToString)
I have a package that uses a for loop to iterate through an unknown amount of excel files and pull their data into a table. However, there will be cases when the file is corrupted or has some sort of problem so that either the transformation will fail or the excel source will fail.
I have it so that for each iteration if the transform was successful the file is moved to an archive directory, and if it fails the file is moved to a different directory.
But I don't want the package to be marked as failed. For the control flow tasks I have set the individual components to FailPackageonFailure = False, and for the Data Flow tasks I have set ValidateExternalMetadata = False.
It no use to set the MaxErrorCount higher because I can't guarantee how many files will be processed and how many might fail.
Could anyone suggest a clean way to trap these errors? Specifically, the "Cannot Aquire Connection from Connection Manager", which is the excel connection.
Thanks
Hello,
I have a problem with retreving a excel data through excel source component.
I have source component as Excel Source which will connect to my .xls sheet.
To retrieve the values from the sheet i am using a query as,
"SELECT F14,F3 FROM [Charac Defn & Assgnment$]"
The column F14 is not formatted so that the format of the cell is "General" I have a different type of values in the F14 column such as "PE","PES",15,20,20.00,8888.9999 etc..
While i click on preview button of Excel source it shows only the text values and not the int or decimal values, its returning NULL for those cells. I tried to use convert function, its throwing an error as
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
There was an error displaying the preview.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Undefined function 'Convert' in expression. (Microsoft JET Database Engine)
Is there any other function to change the format of the cell or i need to some thing else
Please help me how to solve this issue.
How to use variables in Connection Manager's properties? I see some replies through Configuration Package. But what if, it is still in development stage? I mean, can I use the Variable tab and create some variables like
User::DBUserNameSource, User::DBPasswordSource,
User::DBuserNameDestination, User::DBPasswordDestination,
Then put them in Password and UserName property of Connection Manager? If this is possible, how and how can I set the values of those variables I mentioned when I am going to deploy the package in the Production?
I'm doing a simple ETL that reads a database table and dumps the content to a text file. The text file will be named Employee.txt. This file name will remain the same across my environments, but I may want to vary the directory location to where I want this file dumped.
So, I defined an environment variable called "DataTargetDir" in all my environments. Now, I want to utilize this variable in the "File name:" box within the Flat File Connection Manager Editor. How do I do this? I'm thinking I can write something like "%DataTargetDir%Employee.txt" in the "File name:" box, but it's not working.
Am I approaching this the right way?

Hi There
I am having some issues with dts packages i have migrated using the package migration wizard.
One of the connection managers points to an execl flat file source.
I have not altered anything after the package migration, the conenction manager is using Native OLE DBMicrosoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
When i test the connection i get the following error :
"Test connection failed becuase of an error in initializing provider. Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by anotehr user."
Ok i am 99% sure this file is not being accessed by another user, the rest of the error is greek to me. Looking on the net for this error it has to do with access database security and having to sertup htm pages for IIS, i cannot findanything on this error relating to ssis connection manager.
PLEASE HELP.
Thanx
Hi,
I'm trying to write a package that imports a bunch of Excel files into a sql server table. My import routine works fine when I do not use a foreach loop container. I then add a Foreach Loop Container with a Foreach File Enumerator and create a variable to store all of the excel file names to use with my excel connection manager in the connection string property.
When I run the debugger I get the following error:
TITLE: Package Validation Error

I've read the varous posts on this forum and others with people having this problem and nothing that was recommended to them works for me. I've also read the Msdn article 'How to:Loop through Excel files and Tables' and followed the directions there without success. I've tried the following with no success:
I've tried to create first a hard coded connection string in the excel conn. manager which works but as soon as I set the experessions: connection string property = my file enumerator variable it breaks.
Turned the Delay Validation to True for the package as well as the task
Set the Connection string equal to not just the variable coming from the file enumerator but to the full connection string : "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + @[User::excel_filename] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=YES";"
I've also tried to set the excel filepath property instead of the connection string and this didn't work either.
I'm getting really frustrated. Any advice on why something so simple doesn't work for me would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
RE. SSIS (v9.00.1399.00) --- FeedFile Excel Connection Manager --- Concurrency Issue
1. I have 15 completely separate SSIS Packages all of which use the FeedFile Excel Connection Manager to read data from completely separate Excel worksheets.
2. When I invoke, say, 5 of these Packages at the same time then one or more (at random) of them fail with the following error message:-
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "FeedFile Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
3. When I invoke the failed Packages again then they succeed.
So, do you know if there is:-
(a) a concurrency issue with the "FeedFile Excel Connection Manager" ?
(b) a read-only option (in the SSIS Package code) which needs to be specified to overcome file contention issues?
Additional Information about the FeedFile Excel Connection Manager:-
Connection String=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:DoesNotNeedToExist.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=NO";
DelayValidation=True
ExcelFilePath= C:DoesNotNeedToExist
RetainSameConnection=False
Note1. The actual Excel filename which is read is generated dynamically at run-time by a Script Task. This is why DelayValidation has been set to: True (Note. The file: "C:DoesNotNeedToExist" does not actually physically exist.)
Note2. We have another SSIS Package which uses the FeedFile FlatFile Connection Manager. When we run this same Package concurrently (i.e. invoke it 5 times, at the same time, with different input files) then all 5 invocations succeed, which is what we would expect.
Thanks.
