I've created a very simple custom connection manager, and I followed the deployment instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345276.aspx. Basically, that was just copying the assembly to %programfiles%Microsoft SQL Server90DTSConnections, and then registering the asssembly in the gac.
However, when I open VS, right-click on the connection manager pane, and then choose new connection, my custom manager does not appear. What am I missing?
I have created a custom connection manager and it was showing up fine as was the UI I created for it. For some reason now no matter what I do I cannot get it to show up in the list when right-clicking and choosing New connection...
I have also created two custom tasks. One of them works perfectly. The second was working but now causes an error when you open the package. Here is the error message:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio ------------------------------
There were errors while the package was being loaded. The package might be corrupted. See the Error List for details. There are no additional errors in the list only this one. I have tried everything I can think of to fix these two issues. Both problems emerged at the same time so may be related but that would not explain why the second custom task I have created works fine and doesn't cause errors. Help! Thanks, Dave
I thought I'd give the SQL Server 2000's log shipping wizard a try (inthe past I've always done it with Perl scripts), so I attemted to setit up on one of my servers. But in the maintenance plan wizard, Idon't get the checkbox at the bottom of the window to "Ship thetransactions logs to other SQL Servers (log shipping)" as it shows inthis article:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...n/logship1.mspxCan anyone tell me what's wrong here? Please post to the newsgroup.Thanks,Steve
I have been working with a client on a legacy application migration to SSIS and I found SSIS to be very helpful, as this is my first project using integration services I found myself in a situation where multiple solutions can work but I cannot assess the risk of using one or the other and the effort required for the implementation.
The situation is as following, we cannot touch the input files that come from the other legacy systems so I need to get information that is packaged following the next multipart schema:
&Header with context information from the source &BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format N) - Data in format N &BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format K) +Data in format K &BatchHeader with context information from the batch (including format P) =Data in format P
Etc... Needless to say that they can come in whatever order and they need different processing depending on the format. I have been tempted to use the techniq shown in "Handling Different Row Types In The Same File" from http://www.sqlis.com/default.aspx?54.
However, there are multiple issues that I have to resolve to do that: First is how to feed the pipeline with the Data in format N and then reparse them in an easy way cause the data that comes from the other system is very wide (aprox 120 columns), so using a parsing script is by no means a viable solution (I have multiple formats to handle). So I do not see a way to treat the data without using a Custom Connection Manager. Here comes my first question: Is there anyway someone can use the already provided managers to handle an scenario like this one?
Next comes the separation, which one is the wisest thing to do: Write again that to disk in as easier format or pass along that information to the next task in memory? The volume of data is in the order of hundreds of megabytes (100 to 200), maybe half a Gigabyte in the extreme cases. How about uploading that to SQL Server and work from there?
BTW, the production servers will have 6 to 8 Gb of memory and 4 to 8 processors (more or less).
Does anyone has code/sample/tutorial/pointer to developing custom connection manager with a custom UI. And then developing a custom task with a custom UI that can point to this custom connection manager... and passing values during runtime from UI to the custom class.
Ok... so the microsoft documentation talks about the Sql Server Custom Connection Manager Sample all over the place. And I look to my machine after installing the samples and its not there. So I go to microsoft site and it says that the code samples are now hosted on this codeplex website. You follow the link and nothing is there for the sample. Can anyone show me exactly where I can get this sample? I find lots of people with issues trying to find and download it.. so I know i'm not the only one.
The standard flat file connection component does not handle flat files with different column counts on different rows. Since that's the type of file I have to read, I like to create a modified version of the flat file connection manager that can do this. I have found some info in how to create a connection manager. But I can't find anything that tels me how to build one that would be recognized by the flat file source dataflow component.
So how do you build an connection manager that can used by the standard flat file source component? Anyone ever did this or knows were to get the docs?
I know my problem is also solvable by reading the row into a single column and then using a script component to split them but that is not the solution I want.
[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.
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?
I am running into issues with custom objects interaction with visual studio 2005.
1. Custom connection manager. I am setting the name of the connection manager ( to standardize naming convention ) that user created, however when the CM is created, the name displayed in visual studio is still the default name even if the real name is the one i set. I have to do things like, edit it or save package - close - reopen, create another connection, ... etc in order to get it refreshed.
2. Custom Task I am managing some variables in this custom task so that I will be adding and deleting variables in the package. The challenge i am running into is, when I added 2 variables for example, even though the variables are successfully added to package, the Variable Window in visual studio designer will not reflect the new variables. I have to save package, close, and re-open in order for the variables to show up.
So this brings to my question - is there any way to tell Visual Studio programmatically to refresh the contents of these 2 sections, 1 is the Variable Window and the other is the panel containing the list of connection managers.
I have been searching around and found some clue about visual studio SDK but I still cannot find an exact way of doing it. Visual Studio SDK example tells you how you can access the Variable window as
I have a very basic / stripped connection manager with only one property (SSIS 2012). It works fine in design time (you can open the connection manager editor and change the value), but in runtime it only works in 32bit mode. The runtime-validate-method does work, but if everything validates OK then in 64bit it throws an error when you run the package:
Exception deserializing the package "The package failed to load due to error 0xC0011008 "Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored.". This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.
The 2 VS projects are .Net 4 class library projects with the Build Platform on "Any CPU"

I am using SSIS 2005 on Windows 2003 server. Using Excel Source to dump the data for staging database. I am getting following error while I execute it through BI studio's execute button.
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 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:
[Excel Source [1]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
Since a week we have a strange problem. We are using SQL Server 2005 with SP2 on a Windows Server 2003 updated last time in November. We have 2 servers like this, one is a virtual machine and the second one, a physical one.
Since a week, sometimes, the reports in the web report viewer just don't show. They keep loading for hours without showing anything. Beside, everything's fine, the server has plenty of free resources (CPU, RAM...), Visual Studio works normally, SSMS too. We can even go in http://localhost/reports and http://localhost/reportserver and see the folders, files etc... but when trying to load a report (what ever it is, even a small one) nothing comes, not even the message "Report is loading".
It happens not every day, sometimes two or three times a day at different hours. In the Windows event viewer, nothing. In the SSRS logs, nothing (as far as I can understand these logs).
It looks as if a job or a process was running and was blocking the reports or a service which would stop automatically. To have it work again, a reboot of the server works or within 2 or 3 hours, it comes back to normal state.
If someone has an idea of what can be the problem or some tips, please feel free because we are running out of ideas.
After doing a database restore on my development server, It only shows DBO As the db user..When I query SYSUSER all other users are still there..But doesn't show up in enterprise manager...
I have a question that has a co-worker and myself confused. We are using the SQL Server Enterprise Manager. When I select return all rows in my tables, any content that is too long will appear as <Long Text> on my co-workers machine, but the column is blank on my machine. Is there a property or configuration that enables/disables <Long Text>? I am confused as to why it appears on other machines, but not mine.
SS2005 question. Why doesn't securables show when I add a user to have select permission on a table? Like after adding a user I click ok to close the window then double click on the user to open it up, go to securables but it doesn't show. It's empty.
I've designed a report and assigned it a datasource that binds with a SP with a parameter. In the XML code of the dataset I can see the input parameter has been recognised by the wizard. Then, I built a report with that Dataset as the source. Everything is fine till this time. Now through my aspx code I pass on the value of the parameter to the report. But the report doesn't show any values at all. The aspx code is like
Code Snippet Dim reportParameter As New ReportParameter("@UserID", Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text), True) Dim test() As ReportParameter = {reportParameter} ReportViewer1.LocalReport.SetParameters(test)
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? VS 2005 & SSRS 2005. TIA.
I have an SSIS package that I need to modify. It was developed in Visual Studio 2005 and runs faithfully in production on SQL Server 2005. Suddenly, I can't open the package on my own workstation. I see a big red "X" image and a message stating "Microsoft Visual Studio is unable to load this document." The real reason the document can't be loaded appears to be:
Error loading DataWarehouseLoader.dtsx: The connection type "OLEDB" specified for connection manager "Warehouse Logging OLE DB" is not recognized as a valid connection manager type. This error is returned when an attempt is made to create a connection manager for an unknown connection type. Check the spelling in the connection type name.
Does anyone know what causes this and what I can do? The package has been in production for 9 months and I've never seen this problem before.
I'm trying to use the following code to examine table schema for SQL 2000. But when I do, the IsKey value is null or blank. I tried this on two different tables - a State table with a char(2) primary key containing the state abbreviation and a Trend table which has an identity column as the primary key. Public Shared Function GetSchema(ByVal sTable As String) As String Dim sb As New StringBuilder
Dim oConn As SqlConnection = OpenConn() Dim cmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM " & sTable, oConn) Dim dr As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.SchemaOnly)
Dim dt As DataTable = dr.GetSchemaTable()
dr.Close() oConn.Close()
For ic As Integer = 0 To dt.Columns.Count - 1 sb.Append(ic & ":" & CNull(dt.Columns(ic).ColumnName) & " ") Next sb.Append(vbCrLf)
For ir As Integer = 0 To dt.Rows.Count - 1 For ic As Integer = 0 To dt.Columns.Count - 1 sb.Append(ic & ":" & CNull(dt.Rows(ir).Item(ic).ToString) & " ") Next sb.Append(vbCrLf) Next
Here's my problem. I have a subreport that shows data and labels if data is returned. However, if no data is returned, the subreport doesn't show at all. I have a message on the subreport I would like to show if no data is returned, but the subreport won't show at all. Any ideas??
When I create a Smart Device project and and try to add a reference to SQL Server CE only the old version (3.0.3600.0) shows up. How do I get the new one (3.1) to show up?
When I open Report Builder I do not see any of the models that I've created. The "Select Site or Server" is blank and I cannot get to any of the models. I can't change the dropdown from "Recent Sites and Servers."
I am not sure what I did, because it used to work. I did install SP2 but that did not cause a problem originally.
I can create new models (on both the BIDS and the ReportServer site) and I see that they were created just not in Report Builder. At this point Report Builder is non-functional for me.
The other thing that may be related is that I've never been able to run Report Builder from the website. When I click the button nothing happens. I made a shortcut to ReportBuilder.exe to get around this.
I've installed SQL Express SP1 on a Windows 2003 server and I'm trying to get a new MySQL datasource to be recognized in the DTSWizard. A MySQL database needs to be moved over to a MS SQL server due to software requirements (which weren't looked at before the site was created). I've installed the ODBC Connector/MySQL software and created the System DSN (named "MySQL DB Import) in the Administrative Tools/Data Sources (ODBC) tool. When I start up the DTS wizard for SQL Express however, I do not get my new data source in the selection options for data sources. I am following the instructions on this page: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/deploy/mysql.mspx#ERJAE What am I missing?
Hi All, Can somebosy help with this dilema in my where clause I've got the followingWHERE (Customers.Owner = ISNULL(@Contract,Customers.Owner)) AND (Workorders.DateReceived = ISNULL(@DateReceived,Workorders.DateReceived)) AND (Workorders.DateRequired = ISNULL(@DateRequired,Workorders.DateRequired)) AND (Workorders.EngineerID = ISNULL(@EngineerID,Workorders.EngineerID)) AND (Workorders.DateFinished = ISNULL(@DateFinished,Workorders.DateFinished)) AND (Workorders.JobTypeID = ISNULL(@JobTypeID,Workorders.JobTypeID)) AND (Workorders.JobStatus = ISNULL(@JobStatus,Workorders.JobStatus)) AND (Workorders.PriorityID = ISNULL(@PriorityID,Workorders.PriorityID)) This is so if one of the parameters passed is null you still get a result is trouble is if the substitute value of the ISNULL statement is null no result is shown how can I get round this. Any help much appreciated
Hi, all, I found that the SQL2000 EM does not show database space allcoated information, as well as tables and indexes size while SQL 7.0 does. Someitmes these information are fairly handy. is there any other easy ways to find out the same info from SQL2000 through Em, or elsewhere ?? Thanks Anthony
All aspects of my custom task work well except for the icon!
I have included the .ico in the assembly as an "Embedded Resource" and the icon has both 16X16 and 32X32 images. I have edited the IconResource property of the DtsTask attribute as follows:
Te first record of a Recordest obtained from a Command Object executing a Stored Procedure, doesn't show the first record when I asociate this to a data report.(VB6 - SQL7) (ADO 2.1)
If I execute the stored procedure directly from query analizer, I have obtained the right resultset.
We are running 2014 enterprise. I noticed recently that my spreadsheet's column A, while not being used by user, doesn't show up in excel source preview. F1 is column B and so on.
