Hi all,
I need to be able to create a DSN through code that connects to SQL Server using SQL Native Client. I have found the following article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q184608/. This demonstrates most of what I need, but it does not show how to set the username and password, which is something that I need to do.
Any ideas how I can do this?
Regards,
Stephen.
I just installed a SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 instance on a server with an existing SQL Server 2000 SP3 installation. (I need SQL Server 2005's INSERT from an EXEC capability). It's working great now except for one thing: I can't link any other SQL servers! I've already successfully added and queried a linked Oracle server, but attempting to add a linked SQL server gives me the following error, no matter which SQL provider I try to use:
Code Snippet
"The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?"
Additional information:
--> An exception occured while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.ConnectionInfo)
--> Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SERVERNAME". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7302)
The technical details reveal the error source as "sp_testlinkedserver".
I've scoured the net and premier support for advice on this problem, but the little I found wasn't helpful. I've tried reinstalling the SQL Native Client, but it didn't help. I've tried uninstalling SQL Server 2005 Express completely (including management studio and native client), rebooting, and reinstalling everything, with no luck. The server (obviously) does not have a firewall enabled. I've tried stopping the SQL 2000 Server installed on the system, no help. If I create a test .UDL file on the system, pointing to any of the SQL servers I'm trying to link, clicking the "Test Connection" button returns successful. I'm also able to connect to and query the servers directly from the SQL 2005 Express Management Studio. I just can't add them as linked servers.
The server is running Windows 2003 SP1, SQL Server 2000 SP3, and SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 (the default "SQLExpress" named instance). I've tried setting up SQL 2005 Express to run under the network service account and under a domain account used by the other SQL 2000 servers.
From other SQL 2000 servers, I can connect and link to the SQL Server 2005 Express instance successfully. I can also successfully add linked SQL servers in SQL Server 2000 instance installed on the same server. Only adding linked SQL servers in 2005 Express seems to be broken.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm totally baffled. Thank you so much for any helpful advice.
Hello, I've a problem with a software developed in C# with the framework 2.0. This is the error I receive : The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "XXX_LINKED_SERVER" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.

Is there someone who can help me ? This is the process 1. In C# --> Call of a Query : select from the linked server (db in sql 2005) and insert into a table SQL 2005 2. In the C# --> using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()) and insert in a table in SQL 2005 which is link server Thank in advance.

Hello,
What we'd like to do is programmatically generate and maintain a report model based on how the individual install is configured. I've found some documentation that makes me believe this is possible, but I'm hoping someone can nudge me in the right direction. The ReportingServices2005 class has several model related methods (CreateModel) and I found the .xsd for the semantic model XML file
(http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/10/semanticmodeling/SemanticModeling.xsd),
but no real documentation on how to put together a Report Model document from scratch. Looking at the files generated from BIDS is somewhat overwhelming and I have no idea where I'd pull most of the information.
Finally, I want to create Report Model(.smdl) file without Report Model Designer.
I want to Implement CreateModel Method to create new model, any source code sample..??
Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
I am working on modifying a VB6 app that dynamically creates DTS packages to copy data from one database to another depending on the selections made in UI. The project currently uses DTSPackage object library and DTSDataDump Scripting object library.
We are in the process of upgrading the server to SQL 2005. I am exploring the possibility of replacing code that generates DTS packages on the fly with SSIS packages.
Is it feasible to do this in VB6 ? I have referred to similar posts which focus mainly on VB.NET or C#.
Any help with white paper or sample code would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Is there a way to do this? It does not appear as part of the standard SSIS API.
Thanks.
I am creating a web application that uses a using a web service to get data for my reports. Since the webservice only accepts 1 parameter called "sql" (the sql select statement), I am using the report's query string to get the data.
Here is the data source and dataset info I am using:
DataSource
Name: WebService
Type: XML
Connection string: http://localhost/myWeb/myWebService.asmx
Credentials: No credentials
DataSet
Query tab:
Name: WebService
Data source: WebService
Command type: Text
Query String: <Query><SoapAction>......</SoapAction></Query>
Here is a sample of the <Query> string that I use when I first build the report:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://tempuri.org/GetDataset</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://tempuri.org/" Name="GetDataset">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="sql" Type="String">
<DefaultValue>Select * From Customers</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">GetDatasetResponse{}/GetDatasetResult{}/diffgram{}/NewDataSet{}/Results</ElementPath>
</Query>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the user selects a report in the web application, they are prompted for information about the sql statement, and then I can rebuild the <Query> xml fragment, substituting the new sql statemet for the default one. for example, the statement "Select * From Reports" would be replaced with "Select * From Customers where LN = 'Smith'".
Then I want to attach that new <Query> statement to the report and run it. How can I set this information in the report? I can't find anything that talks about it, but there must be some way!
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi,
I'm working on custom report manager. It manages "report entities" and
"report templates" (actually, RDLs uploaded on the server) and stores
one-to-many relation between them. The task is to store
"MasterEntityID" report parameter in every RDL and keep it up in actual
state whether RDL is being assigned to another entity or new RDL is
being uploaded and assigned. I've covered the first issue with
SetReportParameters() web method, but how should I deal with the second
one? Uploaded RDL may be short of the param, so I have to add it
programmatically while uploading.
Thanks,
Anatoly
Greetings,
Here's what I need to do. I need to programmatically create offline cubes for multiple customers. Using VS2005 (C#) and SQL Server 2000, I am able to do this using the CREATE GLOBAL CUBE command. However, I need to create cubes from SQL Server 2005 as we have upgraded and the CREATE GLOBAL CUBE command does not work as it did before. I've search and found examples using AMO, but they create a server cube. I already have a server cube.
I need to be able to create filtered offline cubes from the existing server cube. I've also read much on XMLA, but that doesn't do it for me either. The code below creates an empty offline cube. However, is there a way to use this to create a cube with data?
I am creating this in a windows application.
Server server = new Server();
server.Connect(@"Data Source=C:MyLocalCube.cub");
server.Disconnect();
Can anyone help? This is driving me nuts!
Hi,
I am trying to programmatically in C# create FlatFileSource and OleDB Destination?
I would like your help.... How about column mapping.
I would appreciate your reply.....
I am following the samples in the online books. I've got an OLEDB connection manager and source component defined. I now want to create an Excel connection manager and destination component (see below). How can I do this?

srcDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()
' Assign the connection manager.
source.RuntimeConnectionCollection(0).ConnectionManager = _
DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(conMgr)
' Set the custom properties of the source.
srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("AccessMode", 2)
srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("SqlCommand", Dts.Variables("User::gsQuery").Value.ToString)
' Connect to the data source,
' and then update the metadata for the source.

Hi,
To programmatically invoke a subscription we can use -
exec ReportServer..AddEvent 'TimedSubscription', '575F96C6-A1BD-49FD-9C2F-934FC9658780'
How can we programmatically cause a Manual Report History Snapshot to be created.
I know it can be done using the Webservice. How would we do it using the ReportServer stored procedures. Which SP/SP's can we call. With what parameters.
TIA,

Hello,
does anyone know of a good example of how to programmatically add a Data Conversion Transformation to a package? I have come so far that I have the component in my dataflow task, but I don't know how to set the properties of it. That is, how to determine the columns that should be converted and to what data type etc.
I (as far as I understand) need a data conversion transformation since I have not managed to create (via the designer) a package that reads data from an AS400 via DB2OLEDB and stores it in a SQL Server 2005 Database. I keep getting the error "string cannot be converted from unicode to non-unicode" (or something like that) and by searching this forum I learned that the data conversion component might do the trick.
I added this conversion to a manually designed package and it solved the error, but I don't know how to re-create this package programmatically. I would really appreciate some help on this.
Also, if someone has managed to import data from AS400 to SQL server 2005 via OLEDB and NOT got the string conversion error, please let me know!
Regards,
Annika
I need to programmatically create a SQL 2005 maintenance plan at hundreds of customer sites. Each plan will be a little different because of path names, database names, etc., so I can't use one canned plan without modifications. I know that SQL 2005 maintenance plans are XML packages and SQL jobs, so scripting isn't an option. I've seen mention of using the .Net API to create the plans, but I can't find any examples. SMO doesn't seem to have any objects for managing maintenance plans. Can someone point me to an example of using the API to perform this task?
Thanks,
Tom
Although I can create the local cube, the cube that is created is very large because it brings over all accounts for the employee. In AS2K, it filtered automatically and only returned accounts that had revenue, which is what I'm trying to do using AS2005. I've read some of the responses about using XMLA and AMO, but I am not sure how to use these within the VS2005 windows application that I use to create and distribute the local cubes. Does anyone have a good example of how to use XMLA, AMO or anything else that would allow me to programmatically create and filter offline cubes using C#?
For instance, this code DOES create an empty cube. But how would I go about getting data into this cube?
Server server = new Server();
server.Connect(@"Data Source=c:MyLocalCube.cub");
server.Disconnect();

I'm using MS SQL Server 2005 with MDAC 2.8. When I test my project into TCP/IP, the project does not pick the records completely.
My connection string is using Provider=SQLNCLI.1
Do I need to install SQL Native Client to work-stations ?
Do I need to remove the MDAC ?
Than you.
I have a strange problem.
On almost all clients I can connect to mys database server using sqlcmd -S <server> and the connection is authenticated using kerberos.
One one of my clients the command fails. When I have Named Pipes enabled the connection works fine but is made with NTLM authentication.
All servers and clinets are members of the same domain and thay are ll on the same LAN segment. No firewalls are active anywhere.
Where do I look for a solution?
Hello Folks,
We are using the Redistributable installer for the SQL Native client, SQLNCLI.MSI, with our solution. On MSDN here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms131334.aspx it recommends using the APPGUID keyword to specify your application product code. This is to ensure that the installer will know the dependancy between the Native Client and your application.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much info around APPGUID itself. Does anyone know how that ID is generated? What the rules around it are? Or just some better definition of where it comes from?
Thanks, Mark
I was trying to update a named instance of SQL Express SP1. I double clicked it and during extraction I get this error message:
The file C:Document and SettingsByersNLocal SettingsTempBSISQLEXP05TRACTsetupsqlcli.msi could not be opened.
SQL Express came bundled with another porgram so I'm thining it could be a bad cd. I also thought about reinstalling Windows Installer 3.1. Anybody experience this error?
I recently my hosting company to provide SQLNCLI provider for MS SQL2005 DB. Right now, they are only providing SQLOLEDB provider for connection.
Connection is slow and unreliable at this point using sqloledb while it was running fine with SQL 2000 db.
When I asked them for SQLNCLI, they replied...
------------------
Unfortunately we cannot install the SQLNCLI driver for MSSQL 2005 as it runs under the system context which would be a security risk to the server. I apologize for the inconvenience.
If you have any questions or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our support team anytime at
----------------------
How true is this? Will it be really risk? It doesnt make sense to me if this would be risk why microsoft even will produce it.
Can anyone throw some light on this issue?
Thanks

I have spend days trying to install SQLEXPR_ADV.EXE. I need it to run the Pinnacle Studio 10 installation fully. I have managed to switch on all the services that the set up demanded, but I keep getting stuck because the installation cannot find sqlncli.msi. I have a copy of it from the SQL site, but where do I stick it so that the installer can find it. I have tried to place it in the SQL directory in Program Files, I have placed it in the folder which is generated by the installer, I have sat it next to the Installer itself but to no avail. I have installed the msi independently nd the process says that it was successfully installed but the SQL2005 Express Installed still cannot find it.
Help!
I tried to install a sql 2005 desktop engine. This fails with the error: An installaton package for the product Microsoft SQL Server Native Client cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package €˜sqlncli.msi€™ I used a fresh, new download SQLEXPR.EXE. What shall I do?
I've been assigned with finding the issue behind this error on one of our production systems:
TCP Provider: The semaphore timeout period has expired. [SQLSTATE 07008] (Error 121) OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SERVER1" returned message "Communication link failure". [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7412). The step failed.
I've Googled the error to death, searched the forums here and at other SQL sites as well and have found nothing that points me at the cause. I've found the individual parts of the error but not the whole. Maybe I've just been looking at it too long and am missing something simple. Anyone have any ideas?
These are two linked SQL2005 64bit enterprise Win2k3 servers. The error comes when an automated daily job is run. Sometimes it happens at once, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after an hour. I can see nothing wrong with the server itself or the network.
Thanks in advance.
I am running a SQL2K on a Server2K box. I have linked servers to SQL2005 Express on WinXP. I am trying to get data off of the SQL2005 DB to the central DB on SQL2K. This has been running for about a year. I am now getting an error message as follows:
Server: Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'SQLNCLI' supplied inconsistent metadata for a column. Metadata information was changed at execution time.
OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: Column 'TestVarChar' (compile-time ordinal 2) of object '"WKS"."DBo"."testtable"' was reported to have changed. The exact nature of the change is unknown].
When I run the following Queries on the SQL2K box:
SELECT * from WKSA400.WKS.DBo.testtable
or
SELECT * from OPENQUERY(WKSA400, 'SELECT * from WKS.DBO.testtable')
I did notice that if my testtable has only numeric fields, it works fine. It only has a problem with alphanumeric fields.
If I run 'exec sp_tables_ex WKSA400' on the SQL2K, it works fine. I get a listing of all the tables on the remote server. This tells me that my security is fine. It seems to be a conversion from the 2005 to 2000 SQL. If it had not been working for over a year, the dent in the wall the size of my head would be much smaller.
Howdy Folks!
So I tried the typical IDBDataSourceAdmin:estroyDataSource() command to destroy an existing sql server 2005 express database and guess what it returned:
E_NOTIMPL (not implemented)
This leaves me in the dark on how I'm supposed to drop an existing database in SQL Native Client OLEDB. Any ideas?
My specific code is:
//Set initialization properties.
hr = m_pIDBInitialize->QueryInterface(IID_IDBProperties, (void **)&m_pIDBProperties);
CHKHR(hr, L"Failed to obtain IDBProperties interface", _ExitCreate);
// Sets properties in the Data Source and initialization property groups
hr = m_pIDBProperties->SetProperties(uiNumPropsets, dbpropset);
CHKHR(hr, L"Failed to set data source properties", _ExitCreate);
//Attempt to initialize connection
hr = m_pIDBInitialize->Initialize();
hr = m_pIDBDataSourceAdmin->DestroyDataSource();
hr = m_pIDBInitialize->Uninitialize();
Thanks!!
