Create A Seperate Thread For A Winform In Script Task?
Nov 7, 2006
In order to provide runtime, realtime, graphical feedback to ETL operators, I am planning to open a new winform when my packages start, and update the form via polling of events.
It is my understanding that this means I need to create a new thread for the winform from within the script task. Anyone done this via script task yet? Any reason why this couldn't work or shouldn't be done from the script task?
Would I be better off writing the winform app completely seperately and simply call it from an "execute process" task?
I saw a video on how its possible to create a local database so that when the application is being deployed, the mdf file will be deployed with it and will contain the enter data. The instructor(Beth Messi) showed that all I need to do is to add the .mdf file using the "Rightclick Project name in solution explorer > select add > add new item > then in the dialog that opens, select SQL database and click ok. I did this but the Visual Studio kept saying: "An error occored while extablishing a connection with the server. When connecting SQL Server 2005, this failure may have been caused by the fact that under the default settings of SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (Provider: Shared memory provider, error: 40 - could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
Honestly, I don't know how to go futher with this. The SQL server am using is the professional edition and I have been able to use it through Visual Studio to create Databases. It connects alright in that senario. Please I really need help here.
I am creating a view for the table: bellus=# select * from host_application_definition; id | type_value | connection_value | group_value | application_value | host ----+------------+------------------+-------------+-------------------+----
From the table meta_host_types;
id | value | types | name ----+-------+-----------+-------- 1 | agm | host-type | Rencid
I would like to seperate value into type_value and connection_value, because it holds both values.
I'd like to create a view on server x which references tables on an entirely seperate server. Is this possible? Is seems strange to have to copy the tables over just to create a view. In the view wizard I can't seem to 'browse' to the tables on the other server.
The code I'm working with would conceptually be something like this:
select server name.database instance.owner.table.field
The default Engine Thread property of a data flow task is set to 5, is this the best setting? what if I would like to run complex data flow tasks on multi-processor machines, should I increase the engine thread? If so, then what is the recommended Engine Thread number for running complex data flow tasks in a multi processor system?
Even if i am running simple data flow tasks on a multi processor machine, should I change the engine thread?
I have a child package that has been run successfully multiple times in the last month +. Each time with roughly the same amount of data, give or take a few thousand rows.
Suddenly, this child package is now giving me the following errors from the log file:
Description: The Data Flow task engine failed at startup because it cannot create one or more required threads.
End Error
I tried taking the child out of parent and running it by itself. I still get the same error. There are three other child packages that run on the exact same data and they have no problems. The control flow for the package first runs an SQL command. Then it has a data flow. The data flow grabs records from the source, adds two derived columns, looks up data and then stores to the destination. Relatively easy compared to other packages that are running just fine.
I've had our network people check the both the server running SSIS and the database server (two different machines) and there are no memory spike while the package is running.
Hi JayH (or anyone). Another week...a new set of problems. I obviously need to learn .net syntax, but because of project deadlines in converting from DTS to SSIS it is hard for me to stop and do that. So, if someone could help me some easy syntax, I would really appreciate it.
In DTS, there was a VBScript that copied a set of flat files from one directory to an archive directory after modifying the file name. In SSIS, the directory and archive directory will be specified in the config file. So, I need a .net script that retrieves a file, renames it and copies it to a different directory.
Is there a way to make the data selecatable. For example, a user runs a report and wants to copy the applicationId onto their clipboard so they can use it to search in another application. Currently they have to remember or write down a 9 digit number. Not very user friendly...
I am currently using a data table as the container for the data in my rdl file. Then I use reportviewer for winforms to embed it in our user application.

Hello, I have given up after 3 hours of trying to get a DBNull.Value to be inserted into SQL 2000 DB. Below is the code that exists in an object that I use both from a VB.NET Windows application and from an ASP.NET application. (same exact compiled object dll). Has ran fine with windows application for almost a year - still does. Use the same object in my new ASP.NET application and I get a SQL Overflow error that says date must be between 1753 12 am etc etc... when trying to insert null using the code below.
This one has me stumped. The lines below where I set the date are basically this (what the logic equates to):oDR.Item("CT_CustomDate1") = DBNull.Value oDR.Item("CT_CustomDate2") = DBNull.Value
Error gets thrown when this line is executed:oDA.Update(oDT)
Also, the CT_CustomDate1 & 2 fields in the SQL Server 2000 DB are of type SmallDateTime and the variables in object used in code function below are Date. I've tried every combination of Date, DateTime, SmallDateTime, etc. etc. to no avail.
Thanks for you help!

I have a winform app built using vb.net that utilize SQL 2005. How do i include the database that i have within the application itself and how does that affect the connection string? This lead to the 2nd question, Will the database have multi user capability if i set the connection string to (local)? Does anybody have a step by step way to do this? Please elaborate the way to do it or share with us the link to do it.
I have asked this question before (but the question was geared for something else). Let me briefly lay out my question.
I currently have a WinForm app I distribute that interfaces with Access. When I distribute it, I have in the application startup path a folder called "Database" which has the Access .mdf. With me so far?
Now. I have tools that automate and semi-automate the embedding of important information into my database during the course of a project. However, because more people are starting to use my tools, we have a concurrency issue. I was looking at SSEE as a replacement for Access to solve this problem and avoid the concurrency problem. Hence it is not for the customer I am moving to SSEE but for my internal team who use my tools.
I am having a difficult time delivering the finished product because I don't quite know how to deliver SSEE. I am very proficient with setups, and know that as a prequisite they have SSEE as a selectable item, but how to I attach my database to SSEE in the setup? Do I need to detach my database from my server and reattach it during the setup for the customer?
I have found no articles describing this (except ClickOnce which is not what I want). If everyone raves about SSEE over Access, I would think this would be a widely available question.
This is probably a question for a MVP or someone who has dealt with this personally, so I would welcome your expertise in this matter.
Im trying to figure out if there is a way to embed an ssis package into a c# winform?
I know that I can pass variables to a package and write the entire package out programatically, but im curious if there is a way to add the dtsx as an assembly or something. OR is there any tool that would take the ssis package and spit out its equivalent in code?
I don't know if anyone is interested, but I was just struggling over an issue with a custom SSIS Control Flow Task and found that all referenced objects also have to be in the GAC to be able to create the custom object in the ssis designer. I guess that makes sense, but I searched all over for any reference to this error, and couldn't find anything. Hopes this sense for someone else!
I need to use FTP task in DTS ( or any other way), but the problem is, the source file name is not constant. It changes every day with a date extension appended to the file name, like PO_2002_6_12_PM.zip. How do I create a task task to grab this file daily as a scheduled task? Any help is appreciated. thanks. Di.
I simply want an email to go out if any records in a table exist, else no email. I have other steps completed in this DTS job but this is the last step. Any ideas?
I've gone through all the steps, and when I finally drag the custom task I've made into the control flow, I get the error

I have created a Web service and I want to call a single method from it to extract data. For this reason I use the SSIS "Web Service Task" . The problem is that the xml output file from the web service task does not look in the proper way. When I invoke my web service method in the browser the result looks like the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <ArrayOfBooking xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"> - <Booking> <BookingDate>2007-04-12T15:19:01.6736072+03:00</BookingDate> <FlightDate>2007-04-12T15:19:01.6736072+03:00</FlightDate> </Booking> - <Booking> <BookingDate>2007-04-12T15:19:01.6736072+03:00</BookingDate> <FlightDate>2007-04-12T15:19:01.6736072+03:00</FlightDate> </Booking> </ArrayOfBooking>
but when I use the web service task , the xml file produced, looks like the following:
My problem is that I cannot create a xsd schema for the xml file output from the "web service task", and because of this I cannot insert the data in the xml file into the Database, because the xsd schema is reqired by the XML Source which I use in my DataFlow task for inserting the data. Do you have any ideas how to solve this strange problem?
I need to create a Table using the SQL Task and a Variable as the Table Name
I am getting an Error: "Syntax error or access violation". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

I have a package that i want to move between enviroments. Therefor i need to create a package that creates all my tables on the new server.
like
-- "if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[table]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1) drop table [table] GO"
The case is that i have around 30 tables, and my question is therefore
I know that you can create the drop and create script for one table at the time in the SQL Server Management Studio, but is there an easier way to do this

This also happens if I create a new SSIS project and try to add a data flow. I have SQL 2005 Service pack 2 loaded and it's running on Windows Server 2003 with the latest service packs.
This was working a few weeks ago and then quit? Any ideas?
I'm having a bit of a problem implementing a File System Task to Create a directory and would appreciate some help if possible.
I want to create a date directory so I can move files to once they are imported successfully. The date portion for the directory comes from the import file whose name is variable and in the format of PerfLog_<yyyymmdd>.aud. So, in essence, if I am processing a file named Perflog_20060913.aud, when I am done processing it I want to create a directory c:myprog20060913 and move my processed file there.

I have got MSSQL 2000 set up on a machine in my rack at my local telehouse, and a web server set up at home on an ADSL line.
Both servers can see (ping) eachother fine , so you can rule out any kind of connectivity issues straight away, but when i try to get my forum to connect to the mssql database using the correct credentials it just fails saying that the credentials are incorrect ot the server does not exist.
I also installed an SQL database tool on my web server (Shusheng SQL Tool) and attempted to connect to my SQL server using that tool, and got the following message: '[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.'
The server is currently using mixed mode authentication (SQL/Windows) and has both TCP/IP and Named pipes enabled.
Is there some kind of 'Enable remote connections' option in SQL? I need to be able to allow connections to my SQL server from any system, anywhere...
I need to update a table on our Test Server which is GCSQLTEST, with another table thats on our live server GCSQL. How would I go about doing that in a stored procedure??

Hi. I have been talking with some developers who have built a hosted application supporting multiple customers. Their database approach is to create a new, dedicated database (same schema each time) for every customer that signs-up.
This approach is contrary to typical hosted DB designs that I have delt with -- that is, a single database holding multiple customer information rather than a unique database for each customer.
Does the improved security of a dedicated database out-weigh the additional maintenance requirements?
If anyone has some objective thoughts on this topic, I'd love to hear them.
My boss has asked me to look into this and I haven't been able to find any information on the web. I hope someone can answer this for me. We currently have a single database that is storing all the user information and transactions. Within the same database we are also logging different types of user activity. If both these tables are heavily used, would it make sense to separate it into different database, one for data and one for logging? Is there any pro or cons of having more than one database? Any opinion or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. I'm the closest thing they have to DBA and I'm really new to this. Thanks.
