Use A DTS Package To Create An Excel, Which Has In The Filename The Date The Package Is Ran
Dec 19, 2006
I am trying to create a DTS Package which will run a SQL query and export the results to an Excel file. I would like to the name of the excel to be "dynamic". What I would like is for the name to be ChronicDownSiteReport - mmddyy.xls. The mmddyy is the date which the package is executed.
How can I do this?
Also, I want this package to be excuted at 1am every Sunday Morning. I have attempted to schedule this to run, but when I come to work on Monday, the excel file is not present and the email, which is sent telling me that the file was created is not in my mailbox.
Every month a client sends a spreadsheet with data which we use to update matching rows in a table in the database. I want to automate this using a DTS package but am having quite a bit of trouble accomplishing what I think should be trivial task. I've been attempting to use a Transform Data Task with a modification lookup but I just keep inserting the rows from the source excel spreadsheet in to the existing destination table without ever modifying the existing data.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as to a best practice approach.
Our company wants to allow our customers the ability to import employee data. Each customer's employee data changes depending on things like organisation structure etc. so the format of the data to be imported needs to change. We can do a lot of this with dynamic SQL, but are looking at moving it to SSIS as we think it will save us a lot of pain later on and for other features in SSIS.
We're stuck at a fairly early part of the process as we don't know how to dynamically import our spreadsheet. So far our best idea is to connect to the excel connection as the only step in the data task and then to use a script task on the control task, write code to connect to the excel source (set the excel source to not treat the first row as headers so we can do a 'select top 1 *...' ) then create a dynamic sql command to create the table.
Once this is done we would then have another data task that actually puts the data into the newly created table. This all sounds very difficult though. What are the options for doing what we want to do... have a feeling that we're missing something basic.
Hi, In my application, i have two package, parent package and child package. the parent package is executing child package using a Execute Package Task. "Execute Out Of Process" property of Execute Package Task is set to TRUE. means the child package will be run in separate process not in the process of Parent package. this was working fine, but at a particular client location. its failing the error is "not able to load child package". for me it seems some setting on server restricting to create separate process for child package execution. when "Execute Out Of Process" property of Execute Package Task is set to FALSE. its working fine.
can anyone help what could cause its failure with property set to TRUE.
i have an SSIS package that exports to an excel file. This works fine. the problem is that it appends the data instead of overwriting the file. Is there any way to overwrite the file like you can with a flat file? I have to email the file everyweek and don't want to have to clear it out manually. Any help would be appreciated
Can you call a DTS package using VBA (specifically from Excel). I would liketo have a command button to launch a DTS package that extracts data from thespreadsheet to SQL Server. Today I have to open up Enterprise Manager to dothis.Any code examples would be great too if this is possible.Thanks,Chad
I need to get the output of a SSIS package in an Excel. I have made a Stored Procedure for getting the output, since the output has variable number of columns hence i have made a table through the stored procedure which is dynamically created when the procedure is executed. Now i have a table in SQL with the output data.
Good Day to all, Hope you could help me w/ my project. Im creating a DTS Package. The source data will be coming from an excel file going to my SQL table. The DTS package is scheduled to execute daily, but the source data will be coming from different excel filename. Example, today the DTS will get data from Data092506.xls. Then tomorrow, the data will be coming from Data092606.xls. How can I do this? The DTS I've already done has a fixed source data file. Please help. Thank you so much. God Bless.
I have a created a DTS packges which is reading data from sql server table, manipulate this data as required and then create a text file with that data. I created the text file using FileSystemObject. I was writing one field at a time to the text file.
I need to same thing but instead of creating text file, I need to create a excel file with each column from database going to separate column in excel sheet. I tried to do this with FileSystemObject, but it was wrting all the columns from database to one cell in excel sheet. How can I fix this problem?
Problem: When making my DTS package dump from a SQL Server 2000 table to an Excel file, it keeps appending data. Unfortunately, deleting from the Excel file doesn't seem to work.. in a manual export, I tried the option to delete current table..and I got the error "Deleting data in a linked table is not supported by this ISAM." Creating a DTS package and adding a truncate task that does "delete * from my_table" generates the same error.
How do I wipe out the Excel file before dumping to it again?
Also, I need the ability to dump to a few different sheets within one Excel file, AND use formulas as well. Are there any helpful web sites that document how to do this using DTS?
I have a DTS package that needs to refresh data in 3 separate Excelspreadsheets on a daily basis. The problem is that unless I manuallydelete the previous day's data, it appends rather than replaces.I can't delete the excel files on a daily basis, as they have to bethere for the DTS package to be able to export to Excel. What I wantto do is create a VBScript (ActiveX Control) to delete all the rows ofdata except the first row within each spreadsheet as the first step ofthe DTS package. Then the remaining steps would run and thespreadsheets would only have the current day's data at the end of theprocess.Thanks for any help offered.
It's very simple import, without any data modifications; from severalexcel files to one table.I tried the wisard and it gives me selection for only one file.I am not used to create DTS packages and schedule jobs, so I would needsome help.Thank youInna
i need to transfer the data from allbase (old database) to sql server 2005 .
moreover the structure is different say in allbase we may have 10 tables but now we want more tables .and some tables may have more fields than the previous table's fields for ex: productdigit (previous table name) have 2 fields and present table productline have 4 fields (while using export/import wizard those are set to null but we dont want to set null).
and i dont have knowledge on ssis now i am learning it. but i could not understand how to use those items in toolbox and how to specify datasource for odbc and all.
and please help me to create custom component if needed.

I have created a SSIS package which is getting data from SQL Server table to Excel File.
Step 1 : using Oledb to get records. Step 2 : created Excel Connection and Excel Destination component Step 3 : Configured the Excel File Path using variables. Step 4 : Changed the property 64 bit FALSE
When try to run from BIDS it is running fine. But It is not running when try to run from SQL JOB.
The following Error i got:
: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed. ::: component "Excel Destination" (588) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C. ::: One or more component failed validation. ::: There were errors during task validation. ::
I currently have a export that takes data from my SQL Server 2005 DB and exports it into Excel. This process works correctly. My excel template has the first row headers and the data is dumped in the row after the header. I would like to know if it is possible for me to add borders around my data without doing it within the template? I don't know how much data is going to be exported so I can't put borders within the template. I put borders around the headers to see if it will copy the formatting down to the data and it didn't. Thank You for any help.
Is it possible to create a package through the SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio, and then execute that package through an Excel file (by calling the package through VBA?).
I need some advice on the ways I can execute the package other than via command line utilities. Can you use Visual Basic 6.0? .NET?
I am learning SSIS and I am working through the Wrox book on 2005 SSIS. When I try to Import the files from the AdventureWorks2000 database I cannot see the Human Resources files. I was able to go through the wizard once and see the files and select them and proceed, but now I cannot see them. Please keep in mind I am a newby to this. What should I check for or what am I doing wrong?
Is there anyone out there that can help me - please! I'm about to put my head through a wall.
I used to be able to create SSIS packages in VS 05. It's been a while since I've done it, but when I went in the other day, it would let me - all I can do is get errors. It tells me an "error prevented the view from loading" when it opens in control flow (blank packages and ones I created before all this started) and I get this error :
"Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)) (System.Windows.Forms)"
If I go over to the Data Flow tab and there are no errors until I click "Click here to add a new Data Flow task", then I get this :
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Design)"
So... here's what I've tried.
Uninstalled and reinstalled VS 05 and SP1 (this was before I realized the problem was with SQL).
Uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2003 Web Tools.
Made sure all the MSXMLs were registered.
Uninstalled and reinstalled all SQL Servers and Tools/Components.
Made sure all SQL Services were running under Local Account
Made sure Integrated Services service was running.
Applied all SQL patches.
I cannot get this to work and I need to be able to create packages. The only other step I can think of is wiping my computer and I don't want to have to do that.
Please please can anyone help me?? I've been scouring the internet and working on this for 1 day and 1/2.
I am 100% new to SQL. I have used Access for ever. I need to know how to take a Access 2003 database and covert it over to SQL 2005. I have no idea how to complete this. I was told to do a DTS package but I do not see any options for this.
I am new to SSIS and I need a jump start on how I can use filters to filter out some data based on criteria in the form of EXCEL Work Book.
I have a Owners table for which the filters of Brand, Number etc are applied and the records which pass the filters are to be updated in to the new table.
Any ideas on how we can do this??? Thanks in Advance..
I am exporting data to excel with ssis package.In my system it is working fine., but in server it is giving this error.All the connection string for database and excel file path are coming correct in run time with the help of package configeration. one more thing is if we execute directly the package by double clicking in server it is working, but through my application it is giving this error.
An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E09. The ProcessInput method on component "Excel Destination" (22) failed with error code 0xC0202009. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0202009.
When I want to execute my package as a job in a SQL Server 2005, I get this Message:

The package works fine on the developed server but when I try it out on our integration server it won't go through without these errors. The protection level is set on DontSaveSensitiv and allready I had an error less.
I hope someone can help me, because I can't find anything with google. Thanx!
Hello everybody... I have a very simple SSIS package that loop throught the worksheets of an Excel file and insert the data into a SQL server 2005 table.
The SSIS is very simple and works fine the problem is that after the Package executes if I double click on the Excel file imported I have the message that the file is in use.
I think that the Excel connection manager of the package doesn't release the Excel resourse but this is only a guess..
Do am I right? If yes how can I release the resource?
I applied the following info and created an SSIS package that allows COM control of Excel:
unable to add reference to Microsoft Excel in VSA
The package runs locally, and can be executed successfully after it is migrated to the server, but both of these processes use local memory space (I think). When I try to run the package via a job, it fails with the following error:
