illegal variable name/number

This is what I have....

Public Overrides Sub PreExecute()

Use Of A SSIS Variable Of Type “Object� Inside Script Component And Task Component

Mar 16, 2007

In a Data Flow, I have the necessity to use a SSIS variable of type €œObject€? inside Script Component and assign to it the content of 'n' variables of string type.
On exiting from the script the variable of type object should contain something like in the following lines:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
On exiting from the data flow I will use the variable of type Object in a Script Task, by reading each element in a cyclic fashion.
Is there anyone who have experienced something like this? Could anyone provide any example of that?
Thanks in advance!

Sep 26, 2006

Hi,

       I am trying to develop a SSIS package which will read the records from the flat file and insert them into a destination table. I have some validations written in script component. I have declared two Read Write variables with package level scope. when i try to assign a value to the variable in the script component and run the package, the package throws me an error "The collection of variables locked for read and write access is not available outside of PostExecute".

 

What should be done to over come the problem please help me on this regard

Mgrntw Illegal Operation Error

Mar 24, 2004

Hi

We are using a microsoft small bussiness server. One of our workstations get an mgrntw illegal operation error sometimes when doing an invoice in pastel premier. Does anyone know what can cause this problem and how can I fix it? The server run on windows 2000 and the workstations all use windows 98SE. This problem does not happen everyday. I formatted that computer, hoping the problem will go away but after 3 weeks it suddenly appeared again. I am not sure what version our mgrntw.exe is.

Thanx

Script Component And Variable!!

Apr 30, 2006

Hi All,

I have developed a simple package utilizing script component and variable. What I am trying to do is declare a variable in the parent package that can be change at run time to either 1 or 0. If 1 I want the package to succeed and branch off to run some child packages and if 0, then branch the other way and run another child package. In ether way, I want to be able to load one of the two child packages and not both.

I I declare a variable in my parent package like IsExist, int32 with default 0.

Then I have this code thanks partly to  Jamie Thomson in " SSIS: Writing to a variable from a script task"

Public Sub Main()

'

' Add your code here

'

Dim t As Integer

Dim vars As Variables

Dts.VariableDispenser.LockOneForWrite("IsExists", vars)

t = CInt((Dts.Variables("IsExists").Value))

'Dts.Variables(IsExists).Value = t

If t >= 1 Then

vars.Unlock()

Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success

Else

Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure

End If

End Sub

End Class

I also place the variable name in the ReadWriteVariables in the script component.

The problem now is it is always failing. It stopped at the script task and fail. This is not what I want. I want the package to execute another task upon failure. Anyone knows what I am doing wrong?

Add A Variable From Custom Component

May 19, 2006

Hi

I am writing a custom transformation component that utilises a user variable.

Before using the variable at run time I am checking that the variable exists, but it would be nice to be able to add it if it does not. I cannot find any documentation on the subject, though I can see that the Variables class is derived from a ReadOnlyCollectionBase.

Is there a way to add a user variable with package scope from a custom component, either at run time or design time?

Thanks . . . Ed

Script Component: Copy A Row Into A Variable

Sep 8, 2006

HI, is it possible to copy a row from the Input0_ProcessInputRow into another variable of a synchronous script component. I have a script component that has three outputs. What I would like to do is the following:

At first iteration, copy entire row into a variable.

For the other rows, is business key cols is different from the previous row (the one copied at previous iteration) or type 2 columns :

1-direct previous row (from the variable) to second.output
2- direct current row to the first output
3- copy the current row into the variable

If the business key cols are the same and type 2 cols are the same:
1-Direct row to the third output

My problem is that when I declare a variable as Input0Buffer and then copy the current row in it, at each subsequent iterations, the variable is updated. What I want to do is to keep the value of the previous row. I know I can do it b are differenty copying the content of all columns into separate variables but since some script components will have 150+ columns, I would like to find a simpler way to do it (like a copy of the structure of the input buffer).

The reason I use a script component is that the lookups are not updated dynamically, the rows I need to process may not exist in the target table and once inserted, they are not retreived subsequently by the buffer.

Thank you,
Cco

Accesing Package Variable In Conditional Component

Oct 6, 2006

Hello Experts,

I am trying to load data to a sql table from flat file..I have a script component which will validate the data. I am also firing the errros when data validation fails. Once I encounter an error I want the whole package to be aborted. What I have done is declared a variable called errorcount (Scope :Package) and I am incrmenting this variable everytime an error is raised and next I have a Conditional Split which will check if this variable count is greater than 0 if yes I will not update the table.This is the only way I think this will work.

error I am getting is :The collection of variables locked for read and write access is not available outside of PostExecute.

I understand they r in the same data flow thats the reason I get this error but how can I by pass it ?

MY dataflow-> Flat File Source-Script Comp-Condtional Split-(If errorCount==0)-SQL Table

How can I redo the dataflow so that this err is not raised.

I have tried to add an output column (blnContinue) and use that in conditional stmt but as this is stored at row level values which have blnContinue as true are getting processed, I dont want this I just want to stop the package execution even if a single validation fails

Pardon my long question

Appreciate your help in advance

How To Reference ADO Object Source Variable Within Script Component?

Dec 7, 2007



Hello,
I have a 'ForEach Loop Container' that does a select from a table and I use Variable Mappings to map each row set result to Package Variables in SSIS. This works fine. However, in the Data Flow, I have a Script component in which I need to access the values of those variables that have been set in the ForEach Loop Container. How do I do this?

Perhaps I'm on the wrong track but I guess I need to access the ADO Object Source variable set in the ForEach Loop Container? Through my own experimentation, I know that accessing the VariableDispenser collection only returns whatever default values that happen to be assigned to the variables in the SSIS GUI (not the values assigned during each iteration of the ForEach Loop).

Thanks,
Clive

Write Value From Script Component To Variable (Datatype Object)

May 8, 2008

Hi,

I have a script component that contains a script similar to that shown below;


Public Sub Main()

Dim sqlConn As New SqlConnection("Server=myserver;Database=mydb;Trusted_Connection=True;")

Dim SQLStmt As String

SQLStmt = "select top 10 CountID from mytable"


Dim sqlComm As New SqlCommand(SQLStmt, sqlConn)


sqlConn.Open()



Dim r As SqlDataReader = sqlComm.ExecuteReader()
While r.Read()


Dim MyValue As Integer

If r("CountID") IsNot DBNull.Value Then

MyValue = CInt(r("CountID "))



' HERE I WANT TO WRITE MyValue TO A PACKAGE VARIABLE AS A ROW

End If


End While

r.Close()
sqlConn.Close()

Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success

End Sub


Once i have a value assigned to MyValue, I want to write this as a row to a variable (DATATYPE Object Value VALUE System.Object) in the package which will be an ADO Recordset Destination that i can then loop through later.

Many thanks for any help

SSIS Custom Data Flow Component - Variable Type Converter

Jun 27, 2007

Hi all,



I am creating a customer data flow component for SSIS for use in a package. I've got some custom properties that I am exposing using the supplied advanced editor (no custom property editor here).



Some of my properties are enumerated types, and I have deciphered how to get those properties to show as dropdown lists of their respective enumerations. (For those of you who may be looking as hard as I did as to how to accomplish this, see the end of this post.)



I also have a few properties which request SSIS package variable names - such as an file name variable. However, I can't figure out how to tell the advanced editor that the property is looking for an SSIS variable, so that it can show a dropdown list of package variables, much like virtually any other Microsoft supplied Data Flow component can.



Is there a Type Converter I could specify for those custom properties? Is there another way to instruct SSIS that my custom property is expecting a variable? Or do I need to code a custom UI for editing my Data Flow Task?



To create a dropdown list of values for a custom property that represents an enum, do the following:

1. Create your enum definition, such as "public enum ThisIsMyEnum { one, two }"

2. Create a new class that inherits from TypeConverter, such as "public class MyEnumConverter : TypeConverter"

3. Override "CanConvertFrom", and return true if "sourceType == typeof(string)"

4. Override "CanConvertTo", and return true if "destinationType == typeof(string)"

5. Override "ConvertFrom", and return the enum value (such as "one" or "two" in my example) that corresponds to the string passed in the parameter "value"

6. Override "ConvertTo", and return a string that corresponds to the enum value passed in the parameter "value"

7. Override "GetStandardValuesSupported" and return true

8. Override "GetStandarValuesExclusive" and return true to indicate that ONLY the enum values should be accepted

9. Override "GetStandardValues", and return a new StandardValuesCollection constructed with Enum.GetValues() of your enum, such as "return new StandardValuesCollection(Enum.GetValues(typeof(ThisIsMyEnum)));"

10. Just above your "public enum" declaration, add a "TypeConverter" attribute to link your type converter to your enum, such as "[TypeConverter(typeof(MyEnumConverter))]"

11. In "ProvideComponentProperties", after you've created your custom property like this: "IDTSCustomProperty90 propEnum = ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertyCollection.New()", add another line to specify the TypeConverter property of the property to the full assembly name of your type converter, like so: "propEnum.TypeConverter = typeof(MyEnumConverter).AssemblyQualifiedName;"

The Return Of Problem Assigning Value To Package Variable From Data Flow Script Component

Jul 10, 2006

I have a Data Flow Script Component(Destination Type) and in the properties I have a read/write variable called User::giRowCount

User::giRowCount is populated by a Row Count Component previously in the Data Flow.


After reading http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=97494&SiteID=1 it is very clear that you can actually only use  variables in the PostExecute of a Data Flow Script Component or you will get an error
"Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ReadWriteVariablesNotAvailableException: The collection of variables locked for read and write access is not available outside of PostExecute."




What I need to do is actually create a file in the PreExecute and write the number of records = User::giRowCount as second line as part of the header, I also need to parse a read/write variable such as gsFilename to save me hardcoding the path

(Me.Variables.gsFilename.ToString),(Me.Variables.giRowCount.ToString)

 -they must go in the PreExecute sub --workarounds please-here is the complete script component  that creates a file with header, data and trailer --Is there any workaround

Replacing Illegal Characters In Table

Dec 4, 2006

i'm trying to figure out a way to replace a handful of "Illegal" characters in our SQL tables. We are using Project Server and some of these characters are causing errors or other issues in OLAP Cube.

I'm trying to figure out a way to change the following characters to an underscore ( _ ) :

illegal characters are: / ( ) . , ' : - &

Can I just create a SQL query that loops through a column to replace all of these characters at once? or do I have to replace one character at a time?! I tested replacing one at a time and it works with the REPLACE function.

I'm not all that familiar with MSSQL, I've spent past few years working with MySQL instead.

how can my query loop? or would using CASE help me out?

thanks. any feedback is much appreciated. If you need to know more, let me know.

regards

OLE DB Destination Fails With Illegal Instruction

Jul 26, 2006

Environment: Server Windows 2003 SP1, VS 2005

I ran into this problem trying to deploy an SSIS package to a development server. I tested by creating a simple SSIS package on the server itself. Two blocks an OLE DB Source block and an OLE DB Destination block. Two tables in the same database, one the source, the other the destination. Connection manager test connection works fine.

Package will execute from the IDE (locally on the development server), source block will read the table subcessfully, but when the destination block executes it fails and will stay yellow in the status screen. during the execution SQLDumper.exe is triggered. Analyzing the dump tells me:

(2b40.2938): Illegal instruction - code c000001d (first/second chance not available)
eax=04008010 ebx=00000004 ecx=00000010 edx=00000000 esi=00000940 edi=00000000
eip=7c82ed54 esp=0422f598 ebp=0422f608 iopl=0 nv up ei ng nz ac po cy
cs=001b ss=0023 ds=0023 es=0023 fs=003b gs=0000 efl=00000297


An illegal instruction was hit.

This error exists when the destination block is either an OLE DB Destinaltion or a SQL Server Destination block and the SSIS application is executing locally.

Strangely enough if I run this same SSIS application from my development laptop it works fine against either my local datbase instance (on the laptop) or against the development server (App running on laptop, DB on development server).

I have scanned the forums and search engines for this type of error, so any assistance would be appreciated.



Thanks...

Transactions With Variable Number Of Inserts

Nov 30, 2004

I'm stumped how to achieve my goal using stored procedures. I have a front end application that calls stored procedures to insert data. For example, customer pays a bill. To complete the payment process a command in the app is run which calls a stored procedure to insert a tender record and a second stored procedure to insert a transaction record. A customer can pay one to many bills at one time so the number of times the insert stored procedures are called is variable. I want to be able to use the begin transaction, commit and rollback statements so if there's a problem inserting a record all the inserts are rolled back. Previously the app used the visual basic begin transaction, commit, rollback, statements however I want to now use SQL stored procedures for inserts and updates. I've been struggling with this for some time and hope someone can help me.

Using Variable Number Of Search Strings With VBA

Mar 5, 2015

I have created a kind of search function in my Excel sheet where the user can select multiple items from different listboxes.

To save the items I use an array. So in one case only 1 items off the array is filled, but another time maybe 3 items are filled in the array.

I use the array to search in a SQL database (this is string rva(i) in the code). But when the array is empty it results in an error.

This is what I have so far. (the rule at the bottom won't work also )

rc.Open "SELECT [Datum],[RvA_Nr], [RvA_Letter], [Afdeling], [EVAL], [Matrix], [Component], [AS3000], [AP04], [Rec] FROM dbo.QHSE_2ndline_history " _
& "WHERE [Afdeling] = '" & afd & "' AND [Datum] >= '" & datum1 & "' AND [Datum] <= '" & datum2 & "' AND " _
& "CASE WHEN '" & rva(1) & "' <> '' then [RvA_Nr] = '" & rva(1) & "' END AND" _
& "([Matrix] LIKE '%" & matrix(1) & "%' OR [Matrix] LIKE '%" & matrix(2) & "%' OR [Matrix] LIKE '%" & matrix(3) & "%' OR

SP With Variable Number Filled Of Parameters

Jun 14, 2007

I have a SP search_post (e.g)

@id int,
@author varchar(40),
@keyword varchar(40),


select * from
posts
where
id = @id and author =@author and message like @keyword


in my case a user can choose to search by one or more of this elements.

what will be the best approach to write a statement that will account for the posibility of the user leaving some "parameters" empty, while also allowing for the posibility that all parameters could be filled


one approach I have thought out is this

if (@id IS NOT null)
select * from
posts where id = @id


if (@author IS NOT null)
select * from
posts where author= @author



if (@keyword IS NOT null)
select * from
posts where keyword = (@keyword



but this does not really take care of the posibility that all of them or some of them will be null while others will not

any suggestions ?

How To Handle A Variable Number Of Self-joins?

Nov 9, 2007

Background: Customer sale records are kept in table (userHistory) that records: bookID, userID, and salesDate.

Objective: To find all the customers that have purchased the same books as any given customer, say customer1. For example, customer1 bought books bookA, bookB, and bookC; the goal is to find all of the other customers who also bought these books.

My First Attempt:

SELECT DISTINCT UH1.userID
FROM userHistory as UH1, userHistory as UH2, userHistory as UH3
WHERE UH1.userid = UH2.userID
ANDUH2.userid = UH3.userID
ANDUH1.bookID = ‘bookA’
ANDUH2.bookID = ‘bookB’
ANDUH3.bookID = ‘bookC’
AND UH1.userID <> ‘customer1’

The problem here is that it cannot handle any more/less than 3 books. The above should work well for 3 books, but what if there are 2 books or 12 books? Does anybody have any suggested queries to handle a variable amount of books (eg joins)?

Thank you kindly.

Variable Number Of Input Columns

May 2, 2007

We are trying to use the Import/export wizard to load a text file to a SQL Server 2005 database. The input file has a variable number of columns per row. For example, the first row has 3 columns, the second has 7, the third has 3, etc. The number of columns varies from 2 to 9 in the input file. The columns are separated by an uptick (`) and the rows are terminated by {CR}{LF}. We are using code page 1252. On processing, the wizard reads the first row (with 3 columns) ok, but then assumes all the other rows have 3 columns and parses the rows accordingly, ignoring the field and row terminators.

The process worked fine with SQL Server 2000. Is there some setting that we are missing, or some configuration on the database that we should be checking?



Thank You

How To UPDATE A Variable Number Of Columns

Feb 6, 2008



Hi, I need to update a number of columns in a number of tables - I just don't know how many. In this case, I am updating all varchar fields and nvarchar fields to be converted to lower case. The problem is that the table structure is amended over time as columns are added programmatically, so I do not know which tables have which columns and if so which of them are varchars.

I can get a table of which fields I need to update using:

SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION, DATA_TYPE
INTO tblTempLCase
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE DATA_TYPE LIKE '%varchar'

and I can do the update with UPDATE tblxxx SET column = LOWER(column)

But what I don't know is how to step through my temporary table and do the updates. I can do it in ASP.NET, but that involves pushing commands and data between ASP and SQL, and will be too slow. How do I do it in SQL?

Thanks,

How To UPDATE A Variable Number Of Columns

Feb 6, 2008

Hi,



I need to update a number of columns within a number of tables - I just don't know how many. In this case, I want to convert all varchar and nvarchar columns to lower-case versions of themselves. The problem is that the table structure is changed programatically, and so at any point in time I cannot be certain what fields are in which table, and what data type they are.



I know that I can get a lit of columns using:



SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION, DATA_TYPE
INTO tblTempLCase
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE DATA_TYPE LIKE '%varchar'


and do the update using:



UPDATE tblABCDE SET column = LOWER(column).



In ASP.NET I can pull in this temporary table using a SQL Data Adapter, and then step through the records to formulate the UPDATE statements and execute them all. However, I hope that this is possible in SQL too, so that I do not have to keep firing data/commands between ASP and SQL, as it should be quicker, and is also neater.



If so, how do you do it?



Thanks,



Dave Stephens

Feb 6, 2008

Hi,



I need to update a number of columns within a number of tables - I just don't know how many. In this case, I want to convert all varchar and nvarchar columns to lower-case versions of themselves. The problem is that the table structure is changed programatically, and so at any point in time I cannot be certain what fields are in which table, and what data type they are.



I know that I can get a lit of columns using:



SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION, DATA_TYPE
INTO tblTempLCase
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE DATA_TYPE LIKE '%varchar'


and do the update using:



UPDATE tblABCDE SET column = LOWER(column).



In ASP.NET I can pull in this temporary table using a SQL Data Adapter, and then step through the records to formulate the UPDATE statements and execute them all. However, I hope that this is possible in SQL too, so that I do not have to keep firing data/commands between ASP and SQL, as it should be quicker, and is also neater.



If so, how do you do it?



Thanks,



Dave Stephens
