If I'm in the Data Flow tab in VS 2005, how can I select only certain components to run to test? I tried highlighting the ones that I want to run but it's running all of them in the tab...some of the components I want to take out for testing then maybe put back in later. If I delete the tasks I don't want to run, then I end up having to recreate them
View 11 Repliesare there restrictions on what a DBA can do on a developer's edition?
i'm asking coz i get really bad connection problems when changing service accounts, client aliases, port numbers, connecting to different components like ssis, reporting services, database engine, etc...
in sql2000, changing these things are a breeze, is there some guidelines when making these changes in 2005?
TIA

Hi guys
Just want to know whether you guys do the following as a dba:
1. Setup a logging for tracking database as well as table size that containing size, indexing size. You can measure the growth.
2. Record for indexing for each database. I think this is over kill task.
3. Record database setup such as create statistic, update statistic etc.
These tasks can be automate to record every month for example and record this into Administration database for instance.
What else you guys record?
Thanks
Where to look for the web assitant created jobs on the server?I created a web page using the web assistant which is suppossed to get updated each time a value changes in a particular table,but I can't find the task which I created ,where do i look for that?I didn't use this wizard previously.thanks for any help!

Would anyone be aware of anyplace I could find some good information on creating DTS custom tasks? I've come across a couple of articles from SQL Server Magazine, but nothing too substantive...
Better yet, if anyone has any success (great or small), I'd like to hear from you and hear some of the things you did, what your custom task does, difficulty.
I'm just trying to get an idea of how much work I have ahead of me....
Thank You...
If I have 2 scheduled tasks set for the same time (perhaps accidentally), will the
SQL Executive start 1 and queue the other one until the first is complete and
then run the 2nd task? Or will they both be started simultaneously?
Thanks!

I have been running the following production job successfully for a long time.
It now fails, and the Task History Last Error Message displays 'No Message'.
The log file ( C:MSSQLLOGMaint_TombV50.txt) shows it ran successfully,
with a Return Code 0.
SQLMAINT.EXE -D TombV50 -RebldIdx 10
-CkDB -CkAl -CkTxtAl -CkCat
-UpdSts -Rpt C:MSSQLLOGMaint_TombV50.txt
It looks like SQL Executive burps for some reason.
Any ideas, comments, suggestions?
Thanks,

To all,
If I have a scheduled tasks that is owned by 'sa', how can I assign permissions to allow another user, even the database dbo, to register the SQL server and view the scheduled tasks?
Thanks in Advance,

Hello ,
I need create tasks, which will be wake up daily to backup 4 databases.
My questions are:
1. Can I create 1 task to backup all databases using TSQL command?
Ex: DUMP DATABASE test1 to test1_backup
DUMP TRANSACTIONS test1 to test1_backup with truncate_only
DUMP DATABASE test2 to test2_backup
DUMP TRANSACTIONS test2 to test2_backup with truncate_only
Etc.
If it’s possible can I just print this command to ‘Command:’ text box in the ‘New task’ window
without writing the TSQL command into a text file and execute it with the ISQL program through
CmdExec??????
2.If first doesn’t work: can I do the same job, but create for every backup own task and run the same
TSQL command for particular database. And if I can is it possible to schedule run all 4 tasks the same time or I should put time’s interval?
3. If 1. And 2. Are false. Give me your smart advice.
Thank you,
Sev
Is anybody knows how to transfer all the tasks in one server to another?
Our development database will be transferred/copied to a new production box
and that includes all tasks that we've created. We have almost a hundred
tasks defined and we don't want it create manually. If someone had done
this before, please give me a hint, i appreciate it very much!
Thanks.

Hi all,
I've got a DTS job which has lots of tasks in it. I've also got quite a few flows of workflow and i've noticed that a task won't execute if it has both Failure and Success workflow pointing to it... It can have multiple failures pointing to it and it will execute but it can't have multiple successes or a combination of workflows...
Does anyone know a way to get around this or to change the 'AND' ing that seems to be on the workflow going into a task..
Thanks.
Hi,
I just volunteered to be the database administrator of our new sql server. I am normally the programmer so I have little experience with database administration. There are some basics that I need some assistance with mainly when to perform various maintanence checks. For example, how often do I need to perform some of the dbcc commands that I have read about? How often do I check for data integrity, index fragmentation, rebuilding indexes, or defrag indexes?
I have to come up with a plan by tomorrow and I don't know if I have anything solid enough since I don't exactly know when to perform some of these tasks. :confused:
Thanks so much for your advice.

Task : 4
I have a table in the database I am working with with the following columns:
(I have simplified this down for the sake of clarity)
int p1
int p2
int p3
int s1
date d1
string s1
There is no primary key and the table more resembles a log than anything.
e.g.
p1 p2 p3 s1 d1 s1

2 12 15 100 23May comment 1
What I want to do is exttract the rows from the table where the combination
of p1 p2 and p3 is distinct/unique and the date is the most recent one for
all combinations of p1, p2, p3. So from the table above I would end up with
the resultset:
p1 p2 p3 s1 d1 s1

Task 5
say i have the following data...
uId(int PK), productcode(int), quantity(int)
1,12,5
2,12,3
3,12,5
4,11,9
....and i have an order for productcode 12 with quantity of 6 products.
i need to select only enough rows to reach a quantity of 6.
in this case, i would want the first two rows which would give me a sum of
8.
how can i do this without looping through each record, getting the quantity
and exiting the loop when i have a sum >= 6?
Task 6
I have two tables as below, TABLE1 and TABLE2.
TABLE 1: Base
IDPNamePPrice
-------------------------------------
1A30
2B20
TABLE 2: History
IDLdateAmount
-------------------------------------
12005/8/750
The ID of TALBE1 is the primary key and the ID of TABLE2 is the foreign key.
What's the right T-SQL JOIN statement when I pass the date of 2005/8/7,
it will return the result as below:
LdatePNameAmount
------------------------------------
2005/8/7A50
2005/8/7Bnull
and when I pass the date of 2005/8/8, it will return the result as below:
LdatePNameAmount
------------------------------------
2005/8/8Anull
2005/8/8Bnull
Task : 7

Hi,
I would like to run several checklists against each sql server 2005 instance.
I can get a list of the sql server 2005 machines (Which are on the network) from a sql server table.
There is a another table which holds the list of the checks that need to be carried out against each sql server 2005 machine called tblCheckList.
The list of tasks in the table is briefly as follows:
1) get the path where the .mdf file is placed.
2) get the path where the .ldf file is placed
3) get the path where .BAK or .TRN are placed
4) get the path where the sql 2005 is installed
5) get the servicepack version
6) get the authentication
7) remove sample databases i.e. northwind or pubs, etc...
8) get the recovery model on UserDB
9) get the size of each database
...
...
...
The list goes on
Thanks

Just wonder what do you dba do in your daily tasks. I usually have meetings where I have to say what Ive been doing during the week.

Is it possible to schedule tasks in SQL Express, for example a database backup, or to periodically execute a stored procedure?

Hi,
I am using Windows 2000 and created around 15 scheduled tasks. My scheduled tasks supposed to run every morning. I have to set password to first scheduled tasks every morning; otherwise none of the scheduled tasks works. As soon as i put password in the scheduled tasks, other tasks work fine.
Any ideas how to save password to schedule task?

Hi all,
I will be entering a job as a Junior Sql Server DBA with no senior above me. I would like to know what a DBA does everyday and all day.

then at 10am what do you do, then 11am, noon, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, etc.....
Do do you do all day and everyday? Someone please give me a thourough answer.
Thank You very much
Folks,
I am sort of new to SSIS.. I am doing the following
- Have a package that does some data transformation
- The transformed data is written to a csv file
- The csv file is copied to multiple destinations by a script task
All the above actions are performed in one package.
The SSiS log is not very helpful it just mentions a generic error code that is of no use.
Q1) If I need to separate the above actions in the Sql Server job scheduler as separate tasks do I have to
split the above tasks into separate dtsx files ?
If so how can we have the first dtsx kickoff the second one and can the second dtsx file share the variables ?
Q2) does anyone have any suggestions or examples on how log each step of your dts package to a log file
Thanks

After SQL Server Express 2012 is installed, is there a way to automate setting up a few options? I need to enable the option for both windows and sql server authentication. Can this be done with Powershell or other tool? This is a situation where the user has absolutely no computer skills and there is no one available in their office that can set the options manually. I thought some sort of script would be useful for this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
no results during my search of the web, maybe one of yours can help.
Is there a possibility (during design time is OK) to find out, which TaskHost is before and after a CustomTask (by wiring in ssis-designer) and which type of wire it is (Error, Finish, Success).
Maybe the order of executables is providing this information, when there are no props or methods (and i found none), but then you don't know anything about the type.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Hello everybody,
I need some help :
I want to transfer a few access mdb kept in a folder to sql server. I am using foreach file enumerator. I want to perform the following actions :
1. At time of loading the file, check if the file name starts with "ED". If not, move the file to error folder.
2. Count no. of records that were there in the access db and that were transferred to the sql table.
3. I also want to run the package from command line. Even though i figured out that, i want to display only limited messages on the console. For eg: File processing begins, File currently being processed, TOtal rows transferred, File processing completed etc.
Please guide me with some examples.
thanks mint.

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi guys,
Here it goes...
I've created a package in SSIS and deployed it. When I click the deployed package, it will let me execute it, so far, so good!
Now I need to create a scheduled task that will run the package every 5 minutes and I did so by using the Windows Server Task Scheduler. It is configured to run the package every five minutes... Although, I thought it would run the package, it actually just opens the same window as it would if I double-clicked the deployed package - which is to be expected...
What should I do to create a task that acutally runs the package by itself instead of just opening that window?
Thanks all

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello:
1) Is there a way to call a second task 'upon completion' of the first one. Or would I need to place the code of the second task in one task?
(This is v6.5) I guess the main purpose is to avoid conflict & see if one fails, the other may succeed, etc. I generally like to keep diff tasks separate, but one is dependent upon the completion of the other.
2) I want to restore a db, upon completion of the backup of another db. They are on separate servers, but i know i can use remote sp's.
Any advice, help, code, scripts, etc, would be appreciated. Thank you.
