Designing SSIS Packages
Nov 7, 2007
Hi,
I am asking something very basic and theoretical, here.
Are there any design tools available in the market for designing SSIS packages?
By "design tools" I mean tools which enable us to "plan" or "design" the architecture of a SSIS Solution that will be implemented later, using SSIS, of course.
We have several design tools available for designing a Web Application solution, for example. Similarly do we have something for SSIS?
Are there any design approaches, best practices and/or design techniques published for designing a SSIS solution?
Please note that I am not talking about the SSIS Designer or the BIDS. I am talking about a tool/approach for designing the SSIS solution which can be delivered as a project artifact before the actual coding phase starts?
Well, I have tried to express myself as best as I could.
If someone can help me with this, it will be really great!
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
B@ns

I've created an SSIS package that uses parent package variables at several steps in the data flow. However, those parent package variables are only visible during runtime, making debugging the package practically impossible. Let me give you a simplified example:
In the parent package, I have a string variable named "sqlLookup" that looks like this:
"SELECT * from tblTest WHERE city = " + @city
Also in the parent package is a variable named "city" which I can set to the name of the city that I want to query on. This dynamically updates the sqlLookup variable, which is being evaluated as an expression.
In the child package, I have an OLE DB Source control which is using the "sqlLookup" variable for its query. I have set up my parent package variable configuration, and it works when I run the package.
The problem is this...when I open the child package, I get an error on the OLE DB Source control using the parent package variable, "Command text was not set for the command object". Presumably, this is because the parent package variable is only available during run-time, and not at design time. And, if metadata changes (which it has), I can't get into the OLE DB Source control to edit it, because it throws the error.
So, my question is this: are there any workarounds for this problem? Is there a better way to do this? This seems like such an obvious problem that I'm wondering if I either missed a step somewhere, or if I'm just doing it the wrong way.
Thanks!

Hi guys
I have got a set of queries to run on a table stored in my SQL Database and this query creates a new table which I export to excel for final results.
NOw I need to design an SSIS package for this query to run and to export the result in excel sheet.
I started with the control flow by adding the TSQL statements to it and then in the data flow I connected it with my database.
But when I execute it, it always gives me an error.
I have just started learning SSIS but have not been able to figure it our properly.
Could you please help me out??
Thanks

I've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
Anybody got any idea on how to go about this?

We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.

Hi,
I have created a package that has
2 SQL Execute Task, One Loop container, 2 Data Flow tasks, 1 Foreach loop container, 1 ftp task. The data flow tasks has 1 oledb source, 1 flat file source, 1 row count transformation, 1 recordset destination and 1 oledb destination.
When I load the package into BIDS it takes 125 MB of memory and then everything is slow, the properties panel slides in slowly and exists slowly. The object is the packages are not painted properly. to make changes and run takes lot of time.
Am I doing anything wrong here? Why is it consuming so much of memory?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a query that works fine in SQL Server,
SELECT TC.[TestId]
,TS.[NameId]
,[regressionLevel]
,Mstr.[MethodId]
,users.[UserId]
FROM [db_db].[dbo].[TEST] TC
join
[NEW_DB].[dbo].[Users]users
on
users.FirstName=TC.Username
join
[New_DB]..[Method_Master] Mstr
on
Mstr.Description=TC.Method
join
[New_DB]..[TestSource] TS
on
TS.Name = TC.TestName
basically there is a join between three tables to repalce all the varchars to the corresponding ID.
Please guide me in how should I go about in designing my SSIS package to achieve this requirement.
thanks in Advance

Hi,
Is there a way to reuse existing Configuration Files in SSIS Packages?
I have two packages with the same connection managers, properties and variables.
I want to reuse the Config file of the 1st package in the second one. While building the packages it gives error like

Hi,
I upgraded to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 and now when I run the master SSIS package( that has several packages in it), all the packages run twice.
After removing SP2, they work fine. Any ideas how to make this work with SP2?

I am writing a vb application that is supposed to let the users set the connection string for the datasources in the package. After new connection strings are entered the application is supposed to run 8 packages in a certain order, but I haven't been able to set a new connection string successfully. Is there a way to programmatically modify the connection string of a package's datasource? (the packages are moving data from a D3 database to sql server 2005)
Here is what I have tried so far:
A.
Dim pkgLocation As String
Dim app As Application = New Application()
pkgLocation = "c:Package1.dtsx"
Dim pkg As Package = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, Nothing)
Dim myConns As Connections = pkg.Connections
MessageBox.Show(myConns(0).ID.ToString)
Dim myConnMgr As ConnectionManager = myConns(0)
Dim connProperties As DtsProperties = myConnMgr.Properties
connProperties(0).SetValue(myConnMgr, "notsupposed=towork;")
MessageBox.Show(myConnMgr.ConnectionString)
B.
ConMgr = p.Connections.Add("OLEDB")
ConMgr.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Data Source=192.168.0.233; User ID=sa; Initial Catalog=Rmt_New"
ConMgr.Name = "SqlDatabase"
ConMgr.Description = "Sql Connection"
Any help would appreciated.

I am connecting to a DB2 mainframe to pull data into SQL 2005. Very simple import. SSIS package works fine on 32 bit. However, once deployed to the 64 bit machine, I get "invalid product license" on the Acquire Connection method.
I've worked with IBM support. I have the correct version of the DB2 Connect client installed. The license is there and in the right place. I can connect to the mainframe from the 64 bit server using the DB2 client tools. I just can't seem to execute the package from Integration Services or run a job in SQL Server that executes the package.
According to BOL, the package should automatically detect the 64 client I installed. It and the 32 bit client I developed with share the same name/id.
Am I missing something? Any hints?

I read in Kirk Haselden's book "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services" that if SQL Serfver 2005 and 2000 are installed on the same machine as seperate instances then you can view the SQL Server 2000 DTS packages in 2005 Management Studio under the Management tree, Legacy, Data Transformation Services node.
But in my case, I am not able to see DTS packages in Management Studio. Is there a property or a setting that we need to configure for that?
Thanks.

I'm still new to SSIS packages and I'm NOT a developer. I am in the process of doing preliminary/prepatory work for migrating our SQL 2000 platforms to SQL 2005.
I am having a REAL headache with migrating/moving DTS packages from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. Here are things that I know :
1. I know that some packages cannot be migrated due to ActiveX issues and other issues. Fine.
2. I know that I can install DTS backwards compatibility components on the server in order to be able to edit the DTS packages using a SQL 2000 DTS GUI. Fine.
3. I know that I can use the Migration wizard to migrate packages (and that some of them can't be migrated this way). Fine.
Here's what I don't know/or am conjecturing:
1. In a clustered environment, I have to edit the <%Install Path%>/90/DTS/Bin/MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml file to set the <ServerName> property to the Virtual Server name. Correct? Why can't M$ do this for me?
2. Do I HAVE to export the SSIS package to a .DTSX file in order to be able to edit it with Visual Studio? Is there ANY way around this?
3. If I am running in a clustered environment and I use the File System for storing packages, then the pacakges must be stored on a shared volume, right?
4. I did not find SQL Server Integration services on the B- (Passive) node. Do I have to install it separately onto the B server (much like having to install the Client Tools)?
If anyone has some guidance or tips on running SSIS in this brave, new, wonderful world, I would sure appreciate it.
And yes, I am going to go out right now and order a new book on SSIS.

hmscott

Hi All,
I've been assigned a task by one of the programmer in my team to create packages from some of the databases(One from SQL2005&Other one from SQLEXPRESS)
I've created and saved the packages using the export wizard.I saved the Packages as Integration Services Packages(On file System).
Now he wants me to execute the packages using SSIS But in different time,like maybe after 5min.Other package runs.
I really have no clue how to do that,I've added Both packages in SSIS,But i really dont know how to run them in different time.
If anyone could help please do so!

I am in a situation where we are redesigning our Datawarehouse. Currently we have our Datawarehouse in SQL 2000 and we are rebuilding from scratch in SQL 2005. This means that even though we will get the same tables but we are planning to rename each & every attribute to make it more meaningful.
The question is like this:
We can migrate the current DTS packages to SSIS but since all the ODBC connections , field names(attributes) will change is it worth it to leverages the DTS packages ?
Also we convert the julian date to gregorian date in our DTS packages but since SSIS has a feature to convert julian date it would be redundant to migrate the packages and my feeling is to create new packages in SSIS and start on a clean slate.
Is there anybody who was in such situation ?
Please advise.

Hi
I am fairly new to SSIS and I have a number of questions concerning deploying SSIS packages and Configuration Files
The SSIS packages will be deployed to three environments (DEV, TEST,PROD - this is a clustered environment) and will be executed by SQL Server Agent Jobs. There will be a need for different configuration values for each environment (file import directory, database server connectivity) , the configurations will be reused by mulitple packages.
I have decided to deploy the packages and configuration files to a file directory in the format
<<DRIVE LETTER>>SSIS PackagesPackages
<<DRIVE LETTER>>SSIS PackagesConfiguration Files
The questions are:
1) I storing the packages/config files to a file directory the best approach, or should I be deploying the packages to SQL or file ( C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server 90DTSPackages)
2) Is it best to have different configuration files for each environment (dDBConn_DEV.dtsconfig, dDBConn_TEST) or have the same config file and then change the values during deployment (via scripts).
3) What is the best way to deploy the packages and config files to the different environments (rather do it via scripts than the deployment utility)
4) Where is the best place to store the config files (I have one VS 2005 project per package, the confi files are used by multiple packages), TFS is our source control software
5) Does any one know of a good website to look at for best practice when deploying packages and config files
Regards
Tim

Hello,
I created a SSIS project with some SSIS packages within my local machine. Once all development and testing stuff was finished I imported the same to SSIS package store within Integration services. Then I created another test folder within my local machine and copied all the packages along with the project .sln file to that test folder.
Now the problem, If I make any changes to the package within test folder it automatically saves the changes to my other folder. Does anybody have a reason why it is doing so.
Thank You

I have created two SSIS Packages that works really well. Now I would like to place the content of one package to the designer page of the other package. Both packages were created under the same file/solution. Is there a way to copy the "content" of one package to another package's designer environment?
Basically, I'd like to have two Sequence Container that runs both packages after each other. However, when trying to manually configure my Data Flow's DestinationConnection, I keep getting the error message "Column "column 0" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types". Can't find where this error is coming from. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have successfully created several SSIS packages in the Development Studio. I want to schedule those packages to run with SQL Agent. The only way I could schedule them was to go to File>Save copy as...(not save as) which would give me a choice of either to save it to SQL Server or SSIS Package Store. Using this method allowed me to schedule the package but then I couldn't figure out how to edit the package without going back into the Development Studio, right-clicking on SSIS packages and selecting "Add Existing Package" and selecting that package from the SSIS Package store then opening it to edit.
That seems like a lot of work to edit a package. Is that the desired way to create, save, schedule and edit a SSIS package?
Thanks for any help.

Hello Everyone,
I am going through the following article
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141766.aspx
and I have some clarifications to seek.
Based on the above article it seems its possible to run a DTS package on a SQL 2006 X64 machine.
Furthermore it seems possible that this package will run without any upgrade being performed to SSIS.
Also, to execute the DTS package in 32 bit mode, all I have to do is to set the job step type of SQL Agent to Operating system, and enter a command line or use a batch file that invokes the 32-bit version of dtexec.exe. You can use the dtexecui.exe utility to create the command line, and then copy and paste the command line into the job step.
Are the above deductions correct? Please let me know if some correction / refinement is needed.
