Hi,
I learned this from one of SSIS book-Migrating from Data Transformation Services to Integration Services in SQL.
For the design time components, Microsoft has created a special distribution called the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 DTS Designer Components. The Designer Components distribution replaces the components that get uninstalled when you upgrade your last instance of SQL Server 2000. If you want to upgrade all your SQL Server 2000 instances, this is the best and only option for recovering the DTS designer.
Is anybody heard of this 2005 DTS Designer component?
Where to download? How it works? Any experience to will be appreciated.
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components has cause a total destruction of my Enterprise Manager.
In my workstation I've got Sql Server 2000 client and Sql Server 2005 client. Everything goes fine up to here. But when I've installed that MSI I have not been able to open my Enterprise Manager.
From MMC appears: Error initializing component CLSID: {xxx.xxx}
My goal was be able to open 2000 stuff from Sql Management Studio. By the moment, I'm forget of that.
Is there a X64 version of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components from Feature pack for SQL Server 2005?
I have installed an X86 version on the AMD64 machine. But when I open a sql 2000 dts package, there is always a warning window.
The Message is as follows:
SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer components are required to edit DTS packages. Install the special Web download, "SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components" to use this feature. (Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsObjectExplorerUI)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.ObjectExplorerUI.LegacyActionBase.CreateLegacyDesigner() at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.ObjectExplorerUI.OpenLegacyPackageAction.Act(INodeInformation nodeInfo) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.ObjectExplorerUI.DtsServerMenuItem.Invoke(INodeInformation parent, String mode, String assembly, String type)
There are two same assemblys called 'Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsObjectExplorerUI' in the GAC, and one is GAC cache type, the other is zap cache type.
I kept getting DTS packages edit message before upgrading my DB from Upgrade advisor, even though I don't have any DTS package. Would someone help on how to Retain or restore the DTS Designer by obtaining and installing the special Web download of SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components?
After Having installed the SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components necessary to edit legacy DTS packages on 2005 server, I keep getting the following message when trying to open SQL Server 200 Enterprise Manager:
"The procedure entry point ?ProcessExecute@@YAXPAUHWND_@@PBG1@Z could not be located in teh dynamic link library SEMSFC.dll."
Is there a way to fix so that I can open Enterprise manager?
Hi, I have installed SQL Server 2000 and Reporting Services 2005 and Visual Studio 2003 all works OK but I need to create a report with the Microsoft SQL Server Report Designer 2005 and it doesn't appear in my VS, someone could help me with this?
I have DFTs with around 50 components and future ETLs will have 100+ components in DFTs. I was wondering that is there anyway to group components like we have #region in C#.
After installing the DTS 2000 designer components from the feature packI get the following error message when trying to open a package:
----------
SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer components are required to edit DTS packages. Install the special Web download, "SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components" to use this feature. (Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsObjectExplorerUI)
---------
The thing is that I have installed them!! so what's going on here, is there a registry key I need to remove or something?, I've uninstalled and re-installed them, rebooted the server numerous times but still no joy, SQL Server just tells me that they're not installed, as you can imagine this is a real pain as I cannot do anything with my legacy packages on the 2005 server.
I cannot just migrate the packages from my 2000 server as they are in daily use on a production server. Is there an option to migrate/copy packages but leave the source packages untouched?
I am not sure if this is a correct forum to discuss on the document posted @ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1c2a7dd2-3ec3-4641-9407-a5a337bea7d3&displaylang=en on SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Hands on Training - Creating Custom Components.
I am assuming Microsoft Developers are constantly monitoring this forum.
In the document - SSIS Creating a Custom Transformation Component .doc on Page 2 - Exercise 1 - Writing the no-op data flow transformation component - Task 1 - Create a new C# Class Library Project
The textual description talks about creating a new Visual C# Class Library project in VS 2005 but the screenshot accompanying it shows the creation of new "Integration Service Project" in VS 2005.
Please change the screenshot appropriately to avoid confusions.

I am running Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP 2
I have created an integration package in VS 2005 which extracts data from Access 2000 and imports it into a table on SQL server 2005 running on this server.
The package runs ok in Visual Studio 2005, but when i schedule it as a step in 2005 SQL Agent to execute as a SQL Server Integration package using SQL Agent Service Account it comes with the following error - I did a bit of research which suggests this is due to SQL 64 bit and Windows 64b bit, however I am running 32 bit !! also the sql server agent is a domain admin user...can you gurus please help ?

When attempting to install SQL Server 2005 SP1, I receive the error, "a recently applied update, KB913090, failed to install." The Installation complete dialog shows the Client Components product Status as "Failure" with the description detail, "Unable to install Windows Installer MSP file". My Operating System is Windows Server 2003 SP1.
I have SQL Server 2005 installed on a machine that was recently upgraded to SP2 (build 3042). The server never had the replication feature installed on it. I attempt to add replication to it and I get an error because (I think) I am installing from the initial version media (CD-ROM, build 1399) and the setup appears to want an MSI file for SP2. Any help is appreciated.
I followed the exact procedures in online help How to: Change Components in an Existing Instance of SQL Server 2005 (Setup), but after I get the Ready to Update page, I get the error box:
An installation package for the product Microsoft SQL Server 2005 cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package €˜SqlRun_SQL.msi€™.

Please can someone give me a url or even their own list of support / unsupported components in SQL server 2005 Standard edition.
I know fuzzy lookup is not supported. Is a slowly changing dimension supported?
Its a bit difficult to tell when I get bizzare "Product level is insufficient" error for even a basic derived column transformation when executing a package using SSIS unless it is executed using a scheduled job....
I am not sure where to ask this question. So I figured here may be ok
I have several DTS 2000 packages and I have SQL 2005 installed on my local machine. However the rest of the company is still using SQL 2000 (for now). So I do not want to convert them to ssis yet. One of the things we just did to the packages is make all flat files use \localhost and any servers point to (local). Now in ssis this works fine but using the DTS 2000 package designer it does not like either of these at all. The reason we wanted to do this is so when we switch out servers there is no changes to our DTS packages.
Is there a control in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services similar to Crystal reports Designer control that can be embedded in third party applications that allows their user to design their own reports through the application.
Basically we are using the crystal control in our current software and are looking to move Microsoft reporting services
Your comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Any gues, help in isolating issue?
Any more information required.(Media is ok. Setup has been tried after reboot. There is enough disk space.)

Hi all!On a server computer, I have SQL server 2005 express edition installed, and am using that for my web server, but I want to develop the applications in Visual Web Developer on a remote machine on my LAN. This means I will have to connect VWD to the remote SQL server, to work with the databases.How do you connect VWD to a Remote SQL server?Thanks!
This is a fresh install of SQL Server 2005 (64bit) on a Windows 2003 R2 SP2 64bit OS. The Cluster has been built and SQL 2005 has been installed (Database Engine(clustered), Analysis Server(clustered), Notification Server, Integration Server, Reporting Services). SQL 2005 SP2 has been installed.
Now, I want to install Notification Server, Integration Server and Reporting Services on the second node for high availability.
When I select 'Install New Components' from Add/Remove Programs, the System Configuation Checker tells me theres a version difference and to:
To change an existing instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to a different edition of SQL Server 2005, you must run SQL Server 2005 Setup from the command prompt and include the SKUUPGRADE=1 parameter.
I'm using the same binaries as the original install. Could this be a result of installing SQL 2005 SP2?
Can someone help me out with this. I'd prefer using the setup interface instead of a command line script.
I have downloaded Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Evaluation Edition ISO from the following site and burned it onto a DVD. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6931FA7F-C094-49A2-A050-2D07993566EC&displaylang=en
Prior to this I have installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edtion. During setup I have selected all the native client components i.e. Management Studio, Business Intelligense Studio. But after the install I am not able to see them under All Programs-> Microsoft SQL Server 2005. On further searching I have come across this link
First of all, there is no sqlrun_tools.msi under setup folder of the dvd. And also when I tried to change component from Add/Remove programs and following the instructions as specified on clicking Change Installed components all that I see are: Connectivity Components and Software Development kit.
Could someone tell me how can I install Management Studio/ Business Intelligence Studio seperately? I don't want to go through the process of re-installation.
Hi all, Yesterday, I just downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Express (SQLEXPR.EXE) and tried to install it in my Windows XP Pro PC that is on Microsoft NT 4 LAN System. I got the following error: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 CTP setup The Microfost .NET Framework 2.0 is not installed. Please install before running setup. This morning, I downloaded the NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package Beta 2 (x86) from the Microsoft Download Center and installed it in my Windows XP Pro PC. Then I tried to install the SQL Server 2005 Express (SQLEXPR.EXE) again. This time I got a new error: SQL Server 2005 Setup has detected incompatible components from beta versions of Visual Studio, .NET Framework, or SQL Server 2005. Use ADD or Remove Programs to remove these components, and then run SQL Server 2005 Setup again. I am confused and lost in this installation problem. Was the .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package Beta 2 (x86) a wrong Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 I downloaded and installed in my PC? Where is the right Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 for the SQL Server 2005 Express? Please help and advise. Thanks in advance, Scott Chang
I am update/inserting records threw a web form in vb.net. I need to insert 'NULL' into my microsoft sql server database. I am not talking about the below line of code where website is the name of my paramater. If i do that it will just place a blank into that field in the database. If i dont enter anything into that textbox I want it to to say NULL in that field. So if I go into the actual table in the SQL Server Management Studio and look at the website field of the recored I just added or updated and did not type anything into the web site textbox it needs to say NULL. I also tried the second line of code but that places a single quote in front and behind NULL. So the field will have the value 'NULL'. website.value = txtwebsite.text.tostirng if txtwebsite.text ="" then website.value ="NULL" end if The reason why I need the NULL there is because I bind the website filed to a hyperlink template in a gridview. The actual text of the hyperlink is bound to PAYER which is a name of a insurance payer but the navigateto is bound to the website field. If i do not enter any data into the website field and it stays as NULL, then when my gridview is loaded, payers that dont have a website will not be underlined and user wont have the option to click on them since there is no value for the navigateto. But if i use my form to update/add a payer and leave the website textbox blank in puts a blank into that field in my database and when it loads that new row into the gridview the PAYER is underlined and u can click on it but it will just take u to the web site is unavailable page. So is there anyway to actaull have NULL placed into a filed and not just blank space
Hello, How are you? I have a problem when I try to create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE. When I€™m going to choose the data source, the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition provider doesn€™t appear in the list. I installed the SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from this page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=%2085E0C3CE-3FA1-453A-8CE9-AF6CA20946C3&displaylang=en. In the additional information says by installing SQLServerCE31-EN.msi installs the provider (System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll) in the GAC (global assembly cache) and registers the OLEDB provider (sqlceoledb30.dll). So, I don€™t understand why couldn€™t I create a new connection with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition from Visual Studio 2005 IDE?
I am having a problem with connecting to SQL Server 2005 database from Office Business Scorecard Manager 2005 (the connection string i am using is: provider=SQLOLEDB;Data source=server_name; Initial catalog=database_name). But the connection failed. Would please any experts here shed me any light on what is the problem and how to fix it then? As there is no any forum for Office Business Scrorecard manager 2005. Therefore I post my thread here as it is related to the connection to SQL Server 2005 database engine, thought here is the best place for this question.
Thank you very in advance for your kind advices and help. And I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
