Hi.  I'm gathering more details but we are rdp'ing into a computer where we are running vs 2008 plumbed to tfs for maintaining our ssis packages.  I went thru this exercise for the first time yesterday.  I checked out a pkg that has plenty of sql tasks in its control flow and plenty of oledb destinations in its many data flows.  

I attempted to insert a sql task in the middle of the control flow only to find that the tool box had none.  But it did have one under maint plans whose editor didnt behave like i expected.  I ended up copying and pasting another sql task and then modifying it.

Then i went to drag a data destination to a data flow only to find that only data sources were in the toolbox.

I rdp to this machine as myself (not admin).  Does the community have any ideas?  I'll post sql version (i think its 2008) etc as i collect more info.

Hi Experts,

I have a file in ASCII format which I have to convert to EBCDIC format using SSIS. One of the option would be to use script task however I am looking for any other option/solution. Please guide me on the same.

Note: Some of the column in output file would contain COMP and signed data.

Thank you!

I have a data flow task that has an OLE-DB data source where I use MDX to select data from an analysis services instance, and ultimately dump back into a SQL table. 

Running the package locally works fine, and has never failed. Putting the package on our SSIS server, runs successfully once in awhile but fails most of the time with the 2 errors below: 

Error Number:   -1071636471

Description:        SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E05.

An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services."  Hresult: 0x00000001  Description: "Error Code = 0x80040E05, External Code = 0x00000000:.".

Error Number:   -1073450982

Description:        failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202009.

Googling the top error: 0x80040E05, people are doing the same thing, and experiencing the same sporadic results. I've tried various suggestions, format=Tabular, validateExternalMetaData=False, etc. 

I also found this link which suggests we need to update our SSAS server to the latest version, so we did that yesterday: 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3140211

But it's still failing. The link suggests the SSAS instance needs the upgrade but i'm wondering if the SSIS server also needs the upgrade?

I'm wondering if they've fixed the issue, but i'm doing something wrong. Or if they thought they fixed the issue but didn't, and I need to explore alternate solutions. People have mentioned using an ADO.NET source instead of OLEDB. But if they've supposedly done an update to fix using OLEDB, I want to stick with OLEDB. 

Any ideas ?

Thanks ! 

How do we connect and get data from SAP database using SSIS 2012/2014.

Currently we are extracting data using WebService, and BAPI function call for RFC, but it seems not so much reliable, due to timeout and others.

Can somebody help us ion providing the link for download of .NET Framework Data Provider for mySAP Business Suite

and some sample to invoke and get the data using SSIS.

I am following the below approach to download files from a server using SFTP.

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/845262/Using-WinSCP-and-SSIS-to-Download-files-from-SFTP

Its working fine for one scenario where my source folder name is like "/opt/var/fileint/pm/filename_YYYMMDD"

but in my other scenario i need to download files from multiple folders only common thing in these folders are the date.

 Eg.

TKKM1_0_data_2016-8-27-9-5-58_ImmdTask12

TKKMSC01_0_Userdata_2016-8-27-0-0-53_ImmdTask11

so how do i mention the folder name in the script. Below is the script I am using

Open sftp://username:password@hostname/ -hostkey=/"ssh-rsa XX:20:6e:6XX:e1:fe:5XX:37XX"
get /Export/nefile/ne_5/VLROutPut/TKKM*Data_*2016-8-27* E:\BI\INPUT_FILES\Daily\FTP

but my execute process task failed.

[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.exe" "-script=E:\BI\INPUT_FILES\IT\MAIN\Daily\EXE\VLR_Script.txt" at "E:\BI\INPUT_FILES\Daily\FTP", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".

We are fetching data from client oracle database to our sql server databse using query through ssis.

Below is the query and Here this 30 value is passing in query through ssis project parameter (noofdays is project parameter name) and we set the required option to true.

FROM  tablename(oracle)

  where   

 (  created >=   SYSDATE - 30

  OR changed >=   SYSDATE - 30    ) 

In job configuration, 5/1440 was given for parameter property in configuration of sql server agent job. Is this value correct and which value should be given? I think because of this values, it is not taking data for 30 days when job is running.

Note

What value should be given for 30 days for the parameter in configuration of sql server agent job.

Note

1. Some rows values are not coming if we run the ssis etl through job.  If I stop job and run the ssis etl solution manually, then same row values are coming. Means the value which was given for noof days parameter in configuration of job may be wrong.
2. I checked etl design and database and it seems those are fine.

How can I release a data source connection after an execute SQL task?

I use the SQL task to determine if a column exists and I then call either one of two package tasks which re-sue the same source file. I assume I must release the connection on post execute of the SQL task.

Hello Everyone,

I badly need help here. I tried various suggestions from different posts in msdn and others , but nothing work out . I have created a package using SSDT for VS 2013 which has  a script task with VB 2012 code which refreshes Excel workbooks which in turn pull the data from tabular cubes. This works fine when executed in Visual studio. But fails everytime with below error , when run through SQL server agent Job 

Error -

All rights reserved.    Started:  4:12:44 PM  Error: 2016-08-17 16:13:35.23    Code: 0x00000001     Source: FileName      Description: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.  End Error  DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1).  Started:  4:12:44 PM Finished: 4:13:35 PM  Elapsed:  50.562 seconds.  The package execution failed.  The step failed.

Couple of suggestions i have tried 

1) Made sure that the Proxy account has read/write access on the folder where the excel file is present

2) Followed instructions in the below thread and created this folder - C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b81a3c4e-62db-488b-af06-44421818ef91/excel-2007-automation-on-top-of-a-windows-server-2008-x64?forum=innovateonoffice

3) Checked the option in job to run  in 32-bit mode

None of these suggestions work for me . Thanks in Advance. This would be a great help

We have a Master Package which runs in Default mode (64 bit). We also have child packages for different file formats such flat files, tab delimited and fixed width etc and there is also a package for loading excel files. We are executing Master Package from Command Line, a config file is used at the time of execution, the config file contains server name and database name. We are able to execute all packages successfully by executing the master package,  however we are having issue with the package that loads Excel Files.  We get this error

Below is the error we get

Connection manager "CON_EXCEL"     Description: The requested OLE DB provider Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 is not registered. If the 64-bit driver is not installed, run the package in 32-bit mode. Error code: 0x00000000.  An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Service Components"  Hresult: 0x80040154  Description: "Class not registered".  

To resolve the issue we tried to run the master package in 32 bit mode however we are getting the following error, we are not able to invoke any child packages when try to tun the Master Package in 32 bit mode

 SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred.

Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".

Can you please share your ideas to resolve the Excel file load issue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated

I am renaming documents and part of the renaming process is that any new document has to start from the last identity value in an existing table. For instance, last identity value is 3425 and doc name is DocName and I want the final file name to be like 3425_DocName.txt.  Does anyone have any idea how I can go about implementing this in SSIS?

Thanks very much,

Hi, 

I am facing an issue with bulk insert from a CSV to database.  With try, catch block I cannot see any errors but when I execute without try catch block,  it gives following errors.

Msg 4864, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 2, column 10 (InActiveDate).
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".

when I set MAXERRORS = 0, (referring to Bug id 592960) with in try catch block, it catches only the last error which is 

Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".

How do I capture all the 3 errors?

Thanks,

Microsoft Azure Technical Guru – June 2016

	Dileepa Kariyawasam	Use Azure Active Directory to Custom Brand Your Office 365 Sign In Page – Step by Step	Ed Price: “This is an incredibly valuable scenario that’s executed well! It could be improved with a TOC and References and See Also sections at the end.”
	Chervine	Schedule PowerShell Scripts to Manage Azure Virtual Machines	AS: “The article represents good overview of the Azure Automation service.

This article is similar to an Azure doc one (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/vpn-gateway-howto-point-to-site-rm-ps/), but it’s done a little differently, and the images help. It could be improved with See Also and References sections at the end, as well, as little more refinement on the code formatting (which admittedly, should be easier to do). Good job on this. “

I like the emphasis on researching the topic, collecting links for references, and preparing offline.” Ronen Ariely: “Very useful, very important, and most of all: I love the way it’s organized as a check list” Ed Price: “This is a fantastic check list to go through before you get started! It will up the quality if we use this!”
	Peter Geelen	Microsoft Security Compliance Manager (SCM) Portal	Ronen Ariely: “The TechNet WIKI based on portals as an index to navigate the website. This is nice list of articles that act as portal to the Microsoft Security Compliance Manager ” Ed Price: “Great portal. Good job getting all these links compiled for us!” Richard Mueller: “Great links. Maybe a few words would be useful.”

Windows PowerShell Technical Guru – June 2016

I have a function that extracts emails from the inbox, reads them and assigns some of the values to the object. It all works fine when I do this in Win Form application, but when I copy and paste this code in the Script task in SSIS it fails. It errors in both places where Select is.

Hi All,

I need to load data from fixed width flat file to sql server table. The table screenshot is given below. There's blank data for LastName field in my flat file.

I'm able to load the data to sql server as blank space but I need to load it as NULL value. Here's the package.

Please see the expression in the derived column.

Then the data type of expression became Unicode String. Then I tried to connect DerivedColumn task to OLEDB destination, but it showed an error message."LName cannot convert between Unicode and Nonunicode". So, I have added data conversion task to convert DTWSTR to DTSTR. Then I connected it to OLEDB destination. And it worked without any error. But, still the data loaded as blank space , not as NULL value.

Thanks,

Julie
