Hi All,

I was wondering if there is any easy solution for Project deployment method and Environments.

For e.g. if I deploy on DEV I can overwrite my project connections by using Catalog Environments and Variables, same for QAT or PROD.

The problem I have is when I develop. I can develop and use my project connections pointing to DEV servers. But how should I handle if I want to run it (from Visual Studio) pointing to QAT? (manually changing the project connections its not a good solution).

1 solution i am thinking on is this:

-using DEV SSIS Catalog

-creating Environment variable which holds on which Environment I want to run the project on and bind it with a project parameter (DEV,QAT,PROD)

-creating connection strings in SSIS catalog for all the Environments (for e.g. 5 for DEV, 5 for QAT, 5 for PROD)

-configure 1 parent package to get the right connection strings from SSISDB based on Environment value

-assign the connection strings to my project connections

As you see this is maybe not the best way to do it so I was wondering if there is a easier solution? (which also don't influence the deployment thru diff environments)

Also can I have some PRO and CONS on using SSIS catalog Environments to store the connection strings vs 1 etl.connection encrypted table with a configuration file? (security point of view as well, lets say the Catalog is having the variables in sensitive mode)

Thanks,

Marius

OLE DB Connection Manager to Oracle issue

I'm trying to connect to Oracle with SSIS Connection manager -> Oracle Provider for OLE DB, and if I running package locally it's working but if I run it with job task from the server it's ended with error:

DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. THE ACQUIRECONNECTION METHOD CALL.....

1. First my question is how do I know what connection is connected to Connection Manager(I see short name in Field "Server or file name" but where is that name is connected to actually a server) and I'm trying to connect to Oracle.

2. I checked the ODBC connection on the server / listener and Service Naming also, everything seems to be right, and I still have this issue.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm struck with a small issue.. would be great if somebody can help me out.  Here is te scenario

 

1. There would be more than one CSV files in INPUT folder.

2. I'm using a Foreach Loop file enumerator to loop thru the files and load the data into database.

3. If loading is successful the file need to be moved to ARCHIVE folder and next file needs to be picked up for loading

4. In case if there is an error in loading the file has to be moved into ERROR folder, Error description should be logged to error log text file and next file needs to be picked up for loading.

 

 

I don't think increasing max error count is an option as I don't know how many no. of input files are available as it depends upon the feed. 

 

What is the best way to go.

Hi there,

I am working with a ETL importing data from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS 2012.  Oracle source data contains special characters which appear as ? or ¿ or � in Toad. 

I know this oracle data is Puerto-Rico Spanish and because of improper character set, these characters are showing as '?' etc.

I do not think it is possible to convert these '?' etc into their original special characters. Had the source data been correct , SSIS would have  easily handled the data correctly.  But I am not a SSIS expert and just wanted to ask around if anyone has dealt with similar issues. 

Thanks

This issue happens when we generate SSIS Packages using BIML script. The Packages are generated successfully. The package execution fails on first time with above error. But when we run it again after "opening CDC source  and close it", there is no more issue. The meta data refreshed automatically. Package executing successfully. This is not related to the Meta data changes of tables involved in CDC Task.

SSIS in SQL Server 2012 SP2 - Backslash-escaped double quotes in flat file

I migrated a production SSIS solution from SQL Server 2005 to 2012 (with service pack 2). The solution downloads data via FTP and then imports five comma separated double quote qualified flat files into five tables. One of the files contains double quotes in the data and it is escaped with a backslash, i.e. "2006660","Tan","Gobi Sand \"R\" Metallic". The package stops when it reaches this row with the error "column delimiter not found."

This error didn't occur with SQL Server 2005, and I checked an old data set to make sure the escaped double quotes previously existed, and they did. I haven't had any luck with my Google searches on this problem. When I preview the data the connection manager properly displays the row where the error occurs.

Any thoughts on what could be going on? I suppose I could add a data transformation step to remove the backslashes and quotes, but since this wasn't a problem before I'm not sure why it is now. Especially since the data preview works.

Thank you,
Stephen

Recently converted a 2008 SSIS package to 2012 and am testing it on a new Windows 2012 with SQL 2012 installed.  I keep getting the following error:

To run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must install Send Mail Task of Integration Services or higher.

I've seen answers to similar issues telling them they need to install Integration Services on the server.   Isn't the fact that I'm running DTEXEC.exe on the server when it runs proof that I've got it installed?  I am running the DTEXEC.exe from this folder:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn     I assume the 110 means it's the 2012 version?  Help! Why am I getting this message?

Hello,

I've found few question related to this and tried to implement those solutions (using vb.net code, etc) but was not successful. Please  go through my question and help me.

I am loading a sql server table from a flat file. Currently I am hard coding a column of the sql server table  with 0. Now, I want to change it to a incremental column.

Example, if I load the table today with 5 records, this column should have values 1,2,...5 and tomorrow when I load with 3 records, this column should have values 1,2,3. So, for every date, there will records starting from 1 to n.

I tried below solution which seemed very promising, but it didn't work.

http://www.sql-server-performance.com/2008/ssis-auto-increment/

This is a production issue. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I have SSIS package that imports flat files with column separator | from "Flat File Source" into the database trough "OLE DB Destination".

For one of the columns (file contains UIDs in curly brackets) destination column is varchar(250) null-able, when "Retain nulls" is set to true complete data have been imported, but when "Retain nulls" is set to false beside fact that in the file data is not null and it is not empty string it is not imported and in the destination column is empty string.

I know that this "Retain nulls" applies to the columns that contains NULLs but this is not the case.

If someone have experience with such issue please help.

Thank you in advance.

	Praveen Rayan D'sa	Find the Database where user defined object located and where it is being referred.	GO: "This article deserves absolutely a medal THANKS!" Jinchun Chen: "" Richard Mueller: "Good topic. Grammar needs work. "Caution" states undocumented stored procedure is safe for production, but later states it is not." Ed Price: "Great article. We should include the technology in the title. Good descriptions, and great References!" JS: "Although the outlined solution is interesting and shows the public the usage of the "new" system views finding the right dependencies, it is not recommended to describe the usage of undocumented features such as sp_msforeachdb as there are alternatives, especially in this scenario. You could generate a query using the sys.databases view and let it print out the database name along with the use statement. In addition to this and as the statement has to be run with a high privileged account as schema information is secured as well, it should be made safe to SQL injection. In many case in the statements there is just a concatentation of values used. You can easily inject code in here, Also make sure that names / object identifiers are quoted with [] in order to allow also special characters like spaces in the names"

The package failed to load due to error 0xC0011008 "Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored.". This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.

I already remove a fuzzy lookup since this isn't part of the Standard edition, but still getting the error above.

Package Example:

If I just copy the package and try to run it I get this (0xC0010014):

Any suggestions?

I have a process that reads file with different extension, at the end I will either move or delete the file.  Below is the code.

I can run it with success if debug locally, it failed when trying to run the package.  Below is the error:

The file received does not have extension - item_2290.seq

Error message: Access to the path 'E:\myfolder\item_2290.seq' is denied.

I tried different method and none worked, on if I delete the driectory.  I donot want to recreate the dir each time.  Please help, I am pulling my hair and no luck.

Below is the code:

foreach

(var srcfileinnewDirectoryInfo(SourceFilePath).GetFiles())

{

if (File.Exists(targetFilePath+ srcfile.Name) == true)

{

srcfile.Delete();

}

else

{

File.Move(SourceFilePath + srcfile.Name, targetFilePath + srcfile.Name);

}

}

My source is a MULTIFLATFILE source.  I want to add the rownumber in the data flow, so that when it is loaded to the database table, I can identify the exact row from which each record was obtained.  I already know how to do this for a single flat file source.  My script transformation code is here.  How do I modify my data flow and script so that the row number will reset with each individual file?

Hi,

I am migrating my ssis 2008 project to ssis 2014.

I am pretty much excited using the new features.

The problem I am facing :

I have my parent package in seprate project and cjild packages in different project.

There are multiple projects each having theire own module specific ETL packages.

In all the project I have define project level connection manager.

The issue is when I call my child package from the parent in other project and I have defined the project level connection managers, parent package throws the error mentioning its unable to get the child connection manager as displayed below.

But when make the connection managers in child project as package level connection it works fine.

Is it that , parent package from one project are unable to identify the shared connection defined in my child project?

Please correct my update query

Hello,

Below is my query:

update [RFRL_CGN_CFQ].[CashForQuotes].CFQ_Referrals set  RecID = 
(SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY QuoteType, QuoteDate) AS Number FROM [RFRL_CGN_CFQ].[CashForQuotes].CFQ_Referrals
where QuoteType = 'aSNAP' and QuoteDate in (getdate()))

I want to update the RecID values of all the rows (sequentially with row number), which satisfes the where condition. I am aware that while updating a column we can't give sub query which results in multiple values.

I am bit confused, please spare couple minutes of your time.

Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you.
