Hello Experts:
I am trying to find a way within SSIS either automatically or manually/programmatically to allow an application to call the SSIS package for ETL and output the results to a destination specified 'on the fly' by the application.
Any ideas....
Thanks for your help,Karun
Hey All:
I was totally confused.
When designing the SSIS dataflow part, firstly , i tried SQL Server Destination because my target server is a sql server.
then execute the task with failure.
Then i tried to use OLE DB DESTINATION instead of SQL Server Destination.
This Dataflow worked.
i can not figour out why.
By the way , i used the connection is OLE DB.And i choosed OLE DB source as the datasource cuz i can not find SQL server datasource.
Who can tell me some reasons for this?
I am proceesing a file and using a OLE Db destination for inserting the rows present into a file to the table.
As of now OLE db destination points to the table and having the fileds mapping of input column and destination column.
now i want to perform some calculation and want insert the rows into table based on the value of some other column for ex.
if (column2 == 1)
{
column1 = column4 - column5
}
if (column3== 1)
{
column1 = column4 - Column6
}
Please let me know how to do this.
I searched, but couldn't find anything to match what I am looking for...
Basically, is there any way to tell DTS to create a new table each time that the backup is run? I am scheduling the backup for 1 hour intervals for 5 days, but need the databases that are backed up to be unique, so i would end up wiht 120 of them total.
Is there any way to do this through DTS? Or am I hosed?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
When i try to run a package,its giving the following error.
What could be the possible reason for the error?
" Error: Unable to retrieve column information from the data source. Make sure your target table in the database is available. "
How do i get all the destination columns of a table in a sqlserver destination component?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I am using the SCD task, and noticed that the OLE DB Destination it generates does a "SELECT * FROM" from the destination table when i run my package (found this in trace). Now if this happens on a 20 000000 row destination table with computed fields on it, a lot of resources are wasted. Is there a way around this behaviour i.e. no select is done for the insert destination?
Thanks
Hello -
I am making good progress with my ssis package. However, there is one new thing which I cannot graps yet. That is, how to use variables when I want to update or insert a new row. I have some columns in my tables that require the datetime that the update/insert occured, the person making the change, and a few other things that are not part of the incoming data source (an excel file).
I created some user variables for these things, but I cannot figure out how to use them with my OLE DB Command and OLE DB Destination. One handles Inserts and the other handles the Updates based on whether a row in the Excel file is new (an Insert) or already exists (an update). Along with the insert or update, I'd like to set the Lastupdate, Who, etc.
Thanks for any help

Hi,
I'm using an OLE DB Source to get some data from a db.
What´s the easiest way to output the data by using a specified XMLSchema?
Thank you!!
[SQL Server Destination [16]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "Could not bulk load because SSIS file mapping object 'GlobalDTSQLIMPORT ' could not be opened. Operating system error code 2(The system cannot find the file specified.). Make sure you are accessing a local server via Windows security.".
I'm trying to do a simple upload to a production server from an Access mdb of the kind I used to do routinely in DTS. Any ideas?
when loading the transformed data into OLE DB destination, there is no options to truncate destination table first. Have to insert a middle step to run script to truncate the destination table first.
I'm very confused. We even has the options of keeping or deleting the data in destination table in SQL2000 DTS package. Why we don't have this option in SQL2005??
Does an empty file (text/ Excel) needs to be created manually for the connection manager for (text/excel)destinations. Can I create the file at run time?????
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an OLE DB destination which should insert data into a table named in an SSIS variable. When I run the package, I don't get any errors and I have a data viewer which shows that the data is reaching the OLE DB destination. However, the data isn't being inserted into the destination table.
Can someone suggest how I should go about debugging this?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Is it possible to create Flat file as runtime destination ?
For Ex:
Data retriew from SQL Server, in the fly destination flat file need to create along with timestamp (abcyyyymmdd.txt).
Regards,
I have been given a requirement to post data to a Peoplesoft Http gateway, using SSIS.
To be completely honest I havn't got a clue where to start with this, can anybody give me any pointers?
Am I going to have to use a script component?
Are there any decent examples / samples.
Sorry about the open nature of this question, but I really dont know where to start.
I think Biztalk may be a better option as in integration tool for this work.
Inside my dataflow task, I've got 5 OLEDB Source components pulling data in from various SQL Server Instances.
I have an OLEDB Destination pointing to a single table that should receive all of records create by the combination of Merge Joins of these five sources.
Right now I'm working with a set of test data, and I've got 8 records coming through after all of my merge joins filter things out.
The problem I am seeing is that my OLEDB Destination turns yellow and then just sits there. I've looked in my Progress (Execution Results) tab when I run the package, and there's nothing alarming there.
I've run SQL Profiles on the database table I'm trying to insert data into. Nothing.
I've also change the destination from 'Table or view - fast load' to 'Table or view' . I've unchecked the table lock option for fast load. No dice.
The only thing I can say I've seen that looks suspicious is that I have added some data views between data flow components just before the data gets to the OLEDB Destination and a few of the fields in the data view will show <Missing LineageID> in the field rather than the value. I removed all of the columns that were behaving this way from the flow just to see if that was the problem or if, by removing these fields, I was able to get data to write to the table. This did not work. It does leave me wondering though.
Anyone have any idea why this might be happening or have had similar behavior?
Any help/ ideas of things to check would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have a problem with the maximum error count. I am creating a package to move data into a SQL Server table. If I don't have any errors I am fine. I am using an Ole DB Destination. To test the maximum errors I am creating primary key violations. The problem is that whenever I get an error on insert it is always 4 errors. So If I set the MaximumErrorCount to 5 it will always update the table even if I have 100 records with primary key violations (those records won't be insterted but all the rest will.
The SQLServerDestination has a maximumErrorCount value but it only works if you are on the same server.
I found a post from over a year ago saying that Sybase IQ as a DB Destination is not supported by SSIS (there was a hack, but not something for a strategic solution).
Has there been any change to this in the mean time?
Is there anything in the pipeline?
Thanks,
A Sak
Hello All, I want to know.
I have an SSIS Map which I am running. The destination is Raw File Destination.
I want to know what is the Raw file destination.
I mean in what format and where I can view this data.
I tried notepad but its not showing proper results
Please let me know thankss

I'm seeking information on why this control is so unstable.
Example: I have an application that loads a specific flat file into a staging table. This kicks off our whole price update application. It is very simple really. A flat file connection is used to pipe the file contents to a data transformation control.
Said control converts the input into unicode strings suitable for loading the staging table. The ole db destination objects is set up using the sa password to gain access to the database in which the staging table resides. When I first create the control it works fine for about the first 3 to 4 times.
Then, invariably it will eventually fail, the failure occurs on the column mappings, the control 'insists' on forgetting the column mappings.
I've done everything I can think of to validate that I'm doing something incorrect in setting up the data flow or this control in particular - and I cannot see anything. My thinking is that if I had done something wrong, it should fail immediately; not after 3 or 4 successful passes.
This is the only thing that I am having problems with, but since it involves being able to load data into the database in the first place, it is kind of an important thing; and it is very disappointing to constantly have this trouble. Am I experiencing something unique here, or is this control problematic and unstable at the moment?

Hi,
I have created a data flow with 2 target components ( SQL Server destination )
I ran the package and everything went fine.
Unfortunatelly when I changed TransactionOption in the package properties to Required. It got stuck in the very beggining.
The service DTC is working.
Does someone know why I can't load 2 targets in one transaction ?
Thanks ahead

Hi all,
I have created a global variable and it will read the user input from a web application. How can i pass this variable into OLE DB destination SQL command so that i can retrieve the user specified table? Or is there a better way to do this?
Hi,
I am exporting a table to an excel format. The package should change the name of the destination file everytime the package is executed(preceded by date). I need to deploy this urgently.
Hello everybody .
I am building DTS transfer data from
SQL server into Excel file
source query constant ,but destination will be supplied by parameter
At design time I created destination
excel file and saved a copy of it like
C: empl_excel.xls
presently dts work in following order
1. set datasource of destination
from global varaibale(@@X)
2. execute xp_cmdshell to copy
C: empl_execel.xls to file in @@X
3.Run transformation
How to eliminate step 2 ?
If I run step 1 and 3 ,I get error "table does not exist"
How dynamicly create table in excel and map columns for transfer
Thank you

Hi, I am new to SQL Server. Trying to convert a pc sas program to a SQL Server 2000 DTS package. Need fixed format comma delimited destination text file from a DB2 data source. Problem: SQL wants to make financial field 19 bytes long but I want it to be 12. Tried casting as a DECIMAL(7,2) but SQL still wants it to be 19 bytes long. Tried converting to CHAR but then it is still left-justified. I need decimal to be in the third byte from the right. Is this possible?

My DTS package does nothing special it just pulls in an data from another server (specifying the SQL in a Global V).
This data is then altered using various Stored Procedures.
What would be nice is if the data's destination table could be a #temp table (within tempdb) and then my sps could access it and perform their various operations.
At the moment i cannot get this to work and instead all i can think of is to Create a table within the main working db and insert the data into that and then insert the data into a #temp table and DROP the table i created in the working database.
There must be a better way to achieve this.
Is there any way to copy the data straight to the #temp table i have created?
Hi, I need help please!
I get the following error on my OLE DB Destination: column"Oprcode" cannot convert between unicode & non-unicode string data type.
Please Assist on what i should do!

When I create a DTS to export a text file from a table, if I click onthe Define Columns button and then Populate from source, then execute,it changes one of the types to not quotable and the size to 19, whichin turn is changing the file width. The field that it is changing hasa numeric data type and the remainder of the fields are text (allvarying sizes). Is it doing this because it is numeric or is theresome other explaination? And is there anyway to stop it fromhappening?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a stored procedure that (after selecting, incrementing and updating)returns the next sequential filename.I haven't been able to plug it in to the destination textfile filename in myDTS package.I know it has something to do with Dynamic Properties and I can navigate tothe property I want to set, but just can't seem to get the result of mystored procedure into the filename.I know somebody must have done this before.ThanksJoe

Can a Recordset destination be used as source for a ForEach loop.
Correct me if i'm wrong but the Recordset is stored in a variable of type Object? So what stops my ForEach loop from itterating?

I have worked with straight-forward simplistic SSIS up to now, so I apologize if this is a simple question. I have a SQL table destination that accepts daily data from an AS400 table. We now have a need to datestamp the incoming data so I added a new column to the destination table where I want today's date. Is there a data flow transformation that I need to use to default the destination column to today's date? Time is not a consideration and not needed, just the date.
Thanks for the information.
Hi
View 26 Replies View RelatedOur BIDS packages will generally be constructed to capture a flat file from an external client, load it into SQL server, perform various transformations and data manipulations - possibly requiring some C# code - and ultimately creating a set of output flat files to pass to a downstream application.
Our DBA has indicated he's reluctant to have applications running on the database server, and I'm wondering if there's a 'typical' package deployment strategy that's generally used.
What I'm asking is would it be preferable/desirable to deploy and execute the packages on the database server, or is it more usual/practical to install SSIS on an application server, deploy the packages there and access the SQL databases across the network?
Thanks
