we have migrated dts 2000 packages to ssis packages. but iam unable to see the migrated ssis package in msdb under integration services.
iam getting error; failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.sqlserver.smoenum) additional information: login timeout expired an error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. when connecting to sql server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the dafault settings sql server does not allow remote connections. named pipes provider : could not open a connection to sql server [2]. (Microsoft sql native client]
From SQL Server Management Studio I right click on Management/Legacy/DTS and select Migration Wizard and enter a SQL Server Source and Destination. A list of DTS packages from the source server is displayed and I select one of the DTS packages and give the destination a unique name. The wizard runs and says it's successful. I can't find the new SSIS version of the DTS package with the new name that I've given it, however. Where does it put the new migrated copy of the DTS package.
I have just installed SQL Server Express 2005 to get around the 2Gb database size limits under Access 2003. My simple 2Gb Access database (simple meaning only 10 tables with 2-10 fields each, vast majority of the data in one of them and mainly Long Integers) became nearly 4Gb when migrated using SSMA - not great when the SQL Server Express database limit is 4Gb. Shrinking makes no difference.
Can anyone suggest why in general a SQL Server Express database would be nearly twice the size as its Access equivalent. Are there some useful tricks or techniques to reduce the apparently massive overhead?
I had a DTS package on sql2000 which i migrated succesfully to Sql2005 and im able to open the package and execute the package.Now i want to add a new database mail component on this package to send emails to recepients.In short i dont want to use SQL Mail component of Sql2000 which required outlook components,instead i want to use the new features of SSIS to my package which was designed on sql2000. Is it possible to use the SSIS new features to be incorporated on my old DTS package?
We have a sql job type SSIS package that is not populating a database table as expected and I'm trying to figure what why not but I'm not sure where the "code" is. The person that created it said they copied a legacy package (sql 2000) and made modifications to it, then migrated it to the new version. When a legacy package is migrated is there a SSIS solution built? I see you can edit SSIS packages only in BI Development Studio but I'm not sure where to find package.
This post may answer my question but if you have any additional or updated information I'd like to hear it. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=393634&SiteID=1
So, to view or edit the package you have to export it? Package location
Select the type of storage location to export the package to. The following options are available:
SQL Server
File System
SSIS Package Storage
So do you pick "File System" in order to view it in BI?
Some months ago, we migrated our SQL Server Reporting services server from Server 'Alpha' to server 'Bravo'. I thought we performed all of the steps needed to accomplish this task based on various Microsoft Articles that we identified. The fact that everything has been running fine (we thought) for the last several months confirmed our belief that everything was done.
Our problem found the other day is with a report 'Subscription'. The other day, a user called me and said their subscription is coming to them fine with the report displayed, but the link to re-run the report at the bottom of the e-mailed document doesn't work. I looked at the e-mail they received and found that the link had 'http://alpha/reportserver/...' instead of 'http://bravo/reportsserver/...'. Since 'Bravo' is the name of the new server, I new something was a miss. I tried creating a new subscription to a report and the result was the same 'http://alpha/reportserver/...' I've looked high and low in the SQL Reporting services configuration and can not figure out where I missed a change from 'Alpha' to 'Bravo'.
Has anyone seen anthing like this? If you can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Eric-
I have data on the mainframe that contains special characters such as a copyright symbol (letter c with a circle) when running the SSIS package migration from mainframe database to SQL Server 2005 database the data in the column is truncated at the point it hits this symbol with no errors. I had error reports set up for truncation and did not see an error report for this.
I have tried to change the data type to different data types and re-run nothing changes things.
The symbol is a EBCDIC 'b4' on the mainframe side - I have no idea what that would translate to.
Anyone have any ideas? Am I stuck with substituting something else for the symbol on the mainframe side and re-running the package? Is there anyway to handle this situation in SSIS? I am using the Import/Export Wizard for this one because before I ran into this problem it seemed to be working fine.
By doing this my web.config automatically configured itself to create a database in my app_data folder and also filled in all the table rows as necessary. Then I moved the code to my sql server running SQL Server 2005 Standard and found out that it won't generate that database in either the app_data folder or the SQL Server Data directory. I've gotten so desperate to get this database created that I've (temporarily) given "Everyone" full permissions to both directories. I then double checked that my named pipes to that server were enabled, and then also tried moving my database from my working sql express app from a different computer to the server. I still cannot get it to work.
If I have no database in the folders that worked on sql express i get this error:
"SQLExpress database file auto-creation error: The connection string specifies a local Sql Server Express ..."
If I have a database in the folder it says it can't communicate with it or can't find it.
In Past, I created DTS package on 2000 version, that import TXT file into SQL 2000 table.
Now I migrated the DTS to DTSX (SSIS) package, and all is working fine. but I can not find how can I edit or modify the target table name in DTSX(SSIS) package in BI Studio.
I have several general questions about this but I thought I would describe what I am doing first. My senior project team is developing a web application that will wind up using SQL Server for the database. We are writing it in ASP.net and developing the database on SQL Server Express. My job is to develop and deploy the database. I have an ERD designed and am getting ready to start coding the tables, constraints and stored proceedures but am unsure of a couple of things.
1) How do I create a new schema? 2) I can see how to create tables in the GUI but what I am trying to do is create scripts that can be used to create the tables and objects on the actual server that our client will be using. How do I create scripts in 2005 Express? Do I just go click on the new query button? 3) Are scripts that work for Express going to have any problem executing on SQL Server?
I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.
In the For Loop, How to Iterate from Older flat files to Newer flat files based on File's Timestamp. If there are some older files in that folder, it should be processed first and then continue with the newer one.
In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this: 1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found; 2. If file(s) found, then compare it/them with existing files in our archive folder; if file(s) already exist in archive folder, stop executing and send email saying file(s) already existed, if file(s) not in archive folder yet, then transfer it/them to the local directory for processing.
I know i have to use a script task to do this and i did some research and found examples for each of the above 2 steps and not both combined, so that's why I need some help here to get the logic incorporated right.
Thanks for the help in advance and i apologize for the long lines of code!

I am thinking about replacing the INSERT data scriptfiles that I have with XML files. This way I can open the XMLfile using an XML Editor and see the values in a GRID andmake changes easier.Do you see any problem with this approach?I managed to put together some code that is exportinga SQL table with its data to an XML file and also a codethat reads the XML file's data and inserts it into a table.Now I am researching on XSD, td:datatype, DTD...(I am new to XML) in order to figure out how I canuse a single xml file that will hold both the sql serverfields, the datatypes and their values.If you have links to some sample code that has anythingto do with the datatype export and import I am workingon, can you please share them with me?Most importantly what do you think about the idea of usingXML files vs sql scripts?Thank you
I am wanting to reduce the amount of Virtual Log Files I have. In reading through the Online Book Documentation, I realize that I have forgotten to move the Transaction Log Files to a different drive. Now that the server is in production, I wanted to get some input about the best way of making this change.
Can I just change the directory the log files are being written to in the DB properties without having any adverse problems occurring?
Hi! I'm using replication with two database on SQL 2000,when begin, the log files size is 50mb and the data files size is 150mb. But now the log files size is 2Gb and the data files size is 4Gb. I would like to decrease the log files and the data files ??? How do i do this??? (I using Truncate and shrink doesn't change ) Thanks!!!
I need to write codes to access many image files and wave files and display them on the webpage. Both of these files are stored on the server (as many experts in this forum adviced) and their locations are in the SQL server database. About the wav files, I think I will have to convert them to MP3 first for fast delivery on internet. Since I am a newbie, any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
I have a problem with bcp and format files.We changed our databases from varchar to nvarchar to support unicode. Noproblems so fare with that. It is working fine.But now I need a format file for the customer table and and it is notworking. It is working fine with the old DB with varchar, but withnvarchar I'm not able to copy the data. The biggest problem is, that Igot no error message.

Are there any MDS Descriptor Files associated with Databases Files? Are these associated with transaction logs? As per my information there are .mdf , .ndf and .ldf files.Could anyone please guide me ASAP,as there is an urgent requirement from one of the clients?
I've created a linked server (and set up the corresponding schema.ini file) in order to perform bulk-inserts from some CSV text files into SQL tables (from my standpoint the text files are just for reading purposes). The linked server works fine (I can select the data in the files without a problem).
Now the question: is possible to automatically detect when one or more of those files change in order to start the import process automatically? Something like having a trigger created on the CSV files Or there's no easy way to do that so I have, to say something, to create a Job that periodically checks if the files have changed programatically (say, recording each file's timestamp everytime is imported and comparing the recorded value with the current one, or whatever)?
I might have a rather strange question but I was wondering if there is a way/tool that can be used to convert/import Word documents (.doc) into Reporting Services report files (.rdl). The problem is that I have lots of Word documents containing e.g. survey question. The reports are very extensive with many pages and many "graphical" objects e.g. rectangles etc.. Now I want to have all these reports imported into Reporting Services, i.e. I want the .doc-files to be converted to .rdl-files. I do not want to use e.g. OfficeWriter but I want the .doc-files to be migrated to the rdl-format. Is that possible, is there a tool for this? Both file formats are Microsoft formats, so there should be a conversation tool right?
Hi,I guess it is a very simple question but I really can't think of an answer,If I'm using csv files as a database what disadvantages may I have ?I encrypt the data so it is secured and I found a csv reader that reads the files very fast.Why would I use SQL instead ?Thanks,Alex.
Hello, I am working with a database that has 4 files, 2 with weird extentions and one with .NDF and the other with .ldf. Can I combine the files when I restore so that I have just two files like the rest of the data files on my system. I am no database expert, need some help. Thanks.
Am i right in saying that Log Files can only be saved onto the physical disk of the server? I think i am. In that case has anyone got a good way of scheduling a Job that removes the Log Files from the local server and puts them onto another server?
