Please Help This Should Be Simple Trying To Use Variables With A Copy DB Control Flow, Ssis Reports Following Error:
Dec 26, 2007
Why isn't there some documentation on how to do this. This should be really simple and it has taken me 2 weeks and I still haven't gotten an answer. Please Help Does anyone know the answner or some place where there is some documentation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I get the following error when I try to substitute the strings in the databasedetails collection with variables:
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. StackTrace: at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.TransferObjectsTask.TransferObjectsTask.CheckLocalandDestinationStatus(Database srcDatabase, DatabaseInfo dbDetail) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.TransferObjectsTask.TransferObjectsTask.TransferDatabasesUsingSpAttachDetach()
I created the following variables:
strDestinationDB = AirCL2Exp_new3
strDestinationDBPath = C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATAAirCL2Exp_new3_Data.mdf
strDestinationLGPath = C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDATAAirCL2Exp_new3_Data.ldf
strSourceDB = AirCL2Exp
strSourceDBPath = C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDataDataNewAirCL2Exp_Data.mdf
strSourceLGPath = C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLDataDataNewAirCL2Exp_Log.ldf
I then assigned those variable to DatabaseDetails Collection:
Inaddtion I also assigned the following to the two DatabaseFiles Collection:
for 0:
DatabaseFileSize = 0
DestinationFilePath = @strDestinationDBPath
FileType = DatabaseFile
SourceFilePath = @strSourceDBPath
SourceSharePath = @strSourceDBPath
I'm trying to copy and paste an 'Execute SQL Tasks' within one of my packages.
I've managed to solve the copy part of the problem by registering the following dlls:
regsvr32.exe msxml3.dll regsvr32.exe msxml6.dll However, I can't paste the copied task onto my control flow. When I paste I get the following error:
The designer could not paste one or more executables. Additional information: At least one executable could not be pasted correctly. the executable with the name 'Record Row Count' could not be pasted successfully. Information about the state of the executable with the name 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ExecuteSQLTask.ExecuteSQLTask, Microsoft.SqlServer.SQLTask, Version=9.0.242.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91' could not be loaded from the clipboard.

I have an Execute SQL Task that returns a Full Rowset from a SQL Server table and assigns it to a variable objRecs. I connect that to a foreach container with an ADO enumerator using objRecs variable and Rows in first table mode. I defined variables and mapped them to the columns.
I tested this by placing a Script task inside the foreach container and displaying the variables in a messagebox.
Now, for each row, I want to write a record to an MS Access table and then update a column back in the original SQL Server table where I retreived data in the Execute SQL task (i have the primary key). If I drop a Data Flow Task inside my foreach container, how do I pass the variables as input to an OLE DB Destination on the Data Flow?
Also, how would I update the original source table where source.id = objRects.id?
Thank you for your assistance. I have spent the day trying to figure this out (and thought it would be simple), but I am just not getting SSIS. Sorry if this has been covered.
I have a For Each Loop container, and inside the container, I have a SQL Execute task, which runs first, and then I need to kick off 5 Data Flow Tasks. Do I need to connect the 5 DFTs to each other using the Green(Pipelines). How would you usually do this? Thx.
I am having a hard time with what appears to be something simple. I want to import an excel spreadsheet into a table on a daily basis from a command line. I created a package from the Import Wizzard in the SQL Management Studio and saved it. Since I want a clean table each day, my process needs to be create a temp table, import from the Excel file into the temp table. If that is successful, delete the original table and rename the temp table the original name. The point of this process is to provide for a fail-safe if there is some unforseen problem downloading the data on a particular day.
When I run the package, the first thing it does is delete the original table. I know this because the process shows the time that it finished is before anything else has started or finished. The time shown for the completion of the data flow task is about 2 minutes after that time.
This is maddening!!! The one thing I do not want to happen I can not seem to prevent. I have my control flow set on success. Why does it do this?
Is there documentation somewhere about multiple execution paths in SSIS control flow? I didn't find documentation anywhere. I have a situation where I have two tasks that take considerable time, but could be executed in parallel (to speed up things) and I was wondering whether SSIS supports parallelism.
To illustrate the issues in simultaneous execution, I created a test SSIS package. In the package, I have five tasks, let's call them T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5. The taks are connected with "green arrows" like this:
T1->T2
T1->T3
T2->T4
T3->T4
T5 is not connected. The tasks can be e.g. Send Mail tasks, that's not relevant to this issue. I put a breakpoint in each task and execute the package.
When I execute package, T1 and T5 become active, i.e. the arrow that displays where the package execution currently is, is in two tasks simultaneously. Now F10 (step over) doesn't seem to work "Unable to step. Not implemented". If I press F5 nothing happens. After I press F5 for a second time tasks T1 and T5 and executed. Why don't they execute with the first pressing of F5? I would additionally like to know whether these two tasks are executed in parallel or sequentially, i.e. in the same thread or in two threads? Is there documentation of this?
The execution stops at T2&T3. Again, pressing F5 doesn't do anything, but the second time I press F5 T2 and T3 are executed.
This is a question to the SSIS development team. I would like to know what are the requirements to implement custom SSIS Control Flow task in C++ . There is a documentation describing the process when implementing a managed task, but no such documentation exists for implementing a task in C++.
I want to get the start time of data load and end time after data load and store it in a table which has mapping_id , mapping_name,start_time,end_time.
i use ActiveXScript task to get the start time before data load and store the mapping_id in a global variable,then data flow transformation occurs.
i want to use a global variable to store the mapping id ,so that i can update the end time after data load with that variable.how to do this?
is there any other way, i can get the start and end time of data load (other than the logging information)?
In my SSIS Data Flow Task, I have a query that retrieves data based on a couple of date parameters. Is there a way we can pass/use the Variables defined in the SSIS package in the query ?
(I am assigning values to those variables from C# code)
The query should look like this:
select ordernumber, customerid from salesorder
where statecode=3 and datefulfilled between @variable1 and @variable2
I recently upgraded to on 2012 SP1 CU5 and have found the SSDT gui for SSIS to be almost unusable. I can't drag or resize items. Any time i try they either automagically shrink to the tiniest possible size, shoot off to some extreme or just shake uncontrollably I didn't have these problems on previous versions (dont remember what It was).
I have a Send Mail Task in my control flow to notify users that the processing is done. I want to avoid the package to fall in error if the Send Mail task failed.
What is the best practice to do that ?
Should I raise the MaximumErrorCount of theSend Mail Task ? Should I play with ErrorHandler ?
I have two tasks on a control flow. First task is Execute SQL task which drop an index. Second one is a Data Flow task. I also have an error handler for packcage_onerror. Because there is no index in the database, the first task rasies an error and package on error catches the error. The precedence constraint for the Data Flow task in "success". I don't expect the data flow task to execute because of the error. But it does. Is this the right behavior because I have already handle the error? I don't want the the job to continue if there is any error. I believe I should raise error in the error handler. Pleae help me how to do this. Thanks
My SSIS control flow includes a standard "textbook" WMI Event Watcher Task that monitors a folder for incoming files. Generally it works fine, but now I regularly see the error message:
"Watching for the Wql Query caused the following system exception: "Quota Violation." Check the query for errors or WMI connection for access rights/permissions"
I do not see any indication of trouble in the event logs. The SSIS log simply states that it failed.
Is there any magic about WMI Event Watcher?
When I restart, it runs fine for hours.
SQL05 is 9.0.3054 on W2003 with all microsoft updates applied. It is basically a bare machine with SQL Server, SSIS running and a service that kicks in occasionally.
I need to pass a parameter from control flow to data flow. The data flow will use this parameter to get data from a Oracle source.
I have an Execute SQL task in control flow to assign value to the Parameter, next step is a data flow which will need take a parameter in the SQL statement to query the Oracle source,
The SQL Looks like this:
select * from ccst_acctsys_account
where to_char(LAST_MODIFIED_DATE, 'YYYYMMDD') >?
THe problem is the OLE DB source Edit doesn€™t have anything for mapping parameter.
Dear All! My package has a Data Flow Task. In Data Flow Task, I use a Script Component and a OLE BD Destination to transform data from txt file to database. Within Data Flow Task, I want to call File System Task to move file to a folder or any Task of "Control Flow" Tab. So, Does SSIS support this task? Please show me if any Thanks
I'm currently setting variables at the package level with an ExecuteSQL task. This works fine. However, I'm now starting to think about restartability midway through a package. It would be nice to have the variable(s) needed in a data flow set within the data flow so that I only have to restart that task.
Is there a way to do that using an SQL statement as the source of the value in a data flow?
OR, when using checkpoints will it save variable settings so that they are available when the package is restarted? This would make my issue a moot point.
I have a simple Control Flow setup that checks to see if a particular table exists. If the table does not exists, the table is created in an alternate path, if it does exist, the table is truncated before moving to a file import Data Flow that uses an OLE DB Destination to output the imported data.
My problem is, that I get OLE DB package errors if the table the OLE DB Destination Container references does not exist when I load the package.
How can I over come this issue? I need to be able to dynamically create the table in an earlier step, then use that table to import data into in a later step in the workflow.
Is there a switch I can use to turn off checking in the OLE DB Destination Container so that it will allow me to hook up the table creation step?
Seems like this would be a common task...
Steps:
1. Execute SQL Task to see if the required table exists 2. Use expresions to test a variable to check the results of step 1 3. If table exists, truncate the table and reload it from file in Data Flow using OLE DB Destination 4. If table does not exist, 1st create it, then follow the normal Data Flow
Hi all! I recently started working with SSIS and one of the things that is puzzling me the most is what's the best way to go:
A small control flow, with large data flow tasks A control flow with more, but smaller, data flow tasksAny help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ricardo
Hello Friends, I have created few reports in SSRS 2005 on Windows 2003 Standard. Previouly I was not able to view reports from my .ASPX page which contained a ReportViewer, after going throuhg some other threads I was able to create a snap-shot for my reports . But still I'm not able to view reports, each time I try to view the page I get a message box with a error as : "Unable to locate control SSRS 2005: oReportCell" the same error is displayed when i try to access my reports from "http://localhost/reports.....". But the funny thing is I'm able to view the reports when I use the following URL: "http://localhost/reportserver/pages/reportviewer.aspx?/<report>". I have applied all the Hotfixes & installed the latest Service packs. Any suggestions ???????
Hello, I am wondering what is the difference between assigning variables in the following two ways.1. Dim myVar11 As Variables Dts.VariableDispenser.LockOneForWrite("LoopCount", myVar11) myVar11("LoopCount").Value = 32. Dts.Variables("LoopCount").Value = 3I received this error when processing SSIS Package.
Error: A deadlock was detected while trying to lock variables "User::LoopCount" for read/write access. A lock cannot be acquired after 16 attempts. The locks timed out.
I am new to SSIS can anyone tell me the diff between control flow and dataflow. if all the transformation are done using dataflow than why do we use control flow. Sorry if I am asking you very basic question.
Is there a way to copy reports from other users "My reports" folder? I am logging onto the management studio reporting services using an administrative account and I am able to view the reports from all users' "My Reports" folder. But I am not able to export them as an rdl file. I am able to export reports from other common folders, but not from the "My Reports" folder.
The reason I need to do this is some of the users have created some reports in one environment and the reports are available in their respective "My Reports" folder. I need to move these reports to their corresponding "My Reports" folder in another environment.
Is it possible to setup a Control Flow at the solution level rather than at the package level? I'd like to setup a Control Flow that truncates multiple tables in a staging database then runs multiple packages that reloads those tables. Each package has a Control Flow tab that seems to be specific to the package. Is it possible to set something up that governs the execution of multiple packages?
I get the following error when trying to import (have tried flat files, Excel & Access). I've searched but have not found a resolution. Any help is appreciated.

Essentially I have an incoming file, each line in the file is a record. The records share the same initial key fields for the first 10 columns, then the field structure varies depending on a rectype and sequence number.
My initial plan was load the keys into fields, and load the remaining data into a long varchar field.
Then the stored procedure would evaluate the Rectype and Seqno of each record and chop up the Varchar accordingly.
So I set up a cursor to read the temporary table, do a fetch into variables, and go to evaluate the variables.
I want to be able to use a CASE statement to evaluate the fields and then perform various logic, but it's giving me fits because it seems like CASE only really works in Select statements, and won't really allow you to do any sort of GOTO logic.
I chopped the following SQL up and put in a rough cut of what I thought I was doing.
FETCH NEXT FROM Transaction_Cursor into @eepssn,@rectype,@seqno,@data
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN select @companycode = cmpcompanycode, @eeccoid = eeccoid, @eeceeid = eeceeid, @eecempno = eecempno from company,empcomp where eeceeid = (select eepeeid from emppers where eepssn = @eepssn ) and eecemplstatus = 'A' and cmpcoid = eeccoid
CASE @RECTYPE+@SEQNO when '001001' then goto parse_pretax when '002001' then goto parse_LOAN else select @RECTYPE+@SEQNO+' not recognized!' end process_it: insert into foo2 (empno,companycode,amt,pct) values (@eecempno,@companycode,@eeamt,@eepct) FETCH NEXT FROM Transaction_Cursor into @eepssn,@rectype,@seqno,@data END
CLOSE Transaction_Cursor DEALLOCATE Transaction_Cursor
goto bypass
parse_pretax: let @eepct = substring(@data,1,5)
goto process_it
parse_loan: let @eeamt = substring(@data,27,11) goto process_it
bypass:
I could sketch it out a little bit better in Northwind or Pubs, but I think I just need a smack upside the head and a little edification.
Hi, I would like to have a decision maker component in Control Flow to decide which Data Flow to run. For example: if myVar=A then run data flowA if myVar=B then run data flowB ......
We have Conditional Split component available in data flow but not in Control Flow. What component in control flow can be used to do the same job that conditional flow is doing in data flow? Or what's a work around for this.
I have a problem when using nested loops in my Control Flow. The package contains an outer Foreach Loop using the Foreach File Enumerator which in my test case will loop over two files found in a directory. Inside this loop is another Foreach Loop using the Foreach Nodelist Enumerator. Before entering the inner loop a variable, xpath, is set to a value that depends on the current file, i e /file[name = '@CurrentFileName']/content. The Nodelist Enumerator is set to use this variable as its OuterXPATHString. Now, this is what happens:
First Iteration: The first file is found and the value of xpath = /file[name = 'test1.txt']/content. When the inner loop is entered it iterates over the content elements under the file with name test1.txt as expected.
Second Iteration: The second file is found and the value of xpath = /file[name = 'test2.txt']/content. When the inner loop is entered it unexpectedly still iterates over the content elements under the file with name test1.txt.
My question is: Should it not be possible to change the loop condition of an inner loop in an outer loop such that the next time it is entered it will be done based on the new condition? It seems that the xpath variable is read once, the first time, and never again. If that is the case, does anyone know of a workaround?

Hello, My package "splits" into a number of work flows by the use of precedent management.
After a number of steps I want to combine the flows back to one and finish the package.
What is the mechanism to combine the flows into a singular, linear process again so that I do not have to multiply define identical tasks to finish each flow leg?
I have run into a problem while creating a simple UDF on SQL Server 2000.
Code Snippet
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[GetSectionNum] (@section varchar(4)) RETURNS varchar(2) AS BEGIN DECLARE @sTemp varchar(2),@s char DECLARE @count int DECLARE @length int
set @length = LEN(@section) set @count = 1
WHILE (@count <= @length) BEGIN SET @s = SUBSTRING(@section,@count,1) IF(ISNUMERIC(@s)) BEGIN SET @sTemp = @sTemp + @s END SET @count = @count + 1 END
IF(LEN(@sTemp) = 1) BEGIN SET @sTemp = '0' + @sTemp END
RETURN @sTemp ENDWhen I perform a syntax check I receive and error about "Error 156: incorrect syntax near keyword 'BEGIN'. I have narrowed the problem to the IF statement inside the While block. If I remove the IF statement the syntax check is successful. This is the first UDF I have written so I'm swimming in uncharted water. Thanks ahead of time for your help.
