SSIS 2005 Logging different events under BIDS and Scheduler

I've read the old posts about having to have the BIDS version match the SSIS package version. My question is with VS2010 is there any change? Can I edit either of the old versions of SSIS packages in VS2010 or do I have to have 3 versions of Visual Studio/BIDS on my machine? TIA J

Hi, I'm pretty new to SSIS so go easy on me. I have a Send Mail Task to notify if a file cannot be imported - the mailbody is created on the previous step by a VB.NET script task to include the name of the file and the path it's been archived to. The problem I'm having is that while the body of the email I've created is displaying fine, our company's Exchange server appends a signature to all emails, and this is coming up as undisplayable characters, presumably due to some kind of unicode encoding problem. I've tried casting the email body in an expression to DT_STR (doesn't work as DT_STR "cannot be converted to a supported type" which seems a bit odd but never mind), DT_WSTR (garbled signature), DT_TEXT/DT_NTEXT (strange error on this one - "Attempted to read or write protected memory") none of those ideas worked, and I'm a bit stumped now. Can anyone help? I'm using SSIS 2005 with SP3

I need to stop the Foreach loop container from processing more files in the folder than desired. Scenario:  If I only want 1 files processed, i need to stop the loop after it finds 1 file.  No matter what the contraints or tests or variables I set, the loop processes all the files in the folder.  This is bad because I need the value of the 1st mapped variable and not the last one it finds. I have tried counting records and setting variables used in the contraints but to no avail  Nothing seems to stop the loop. Please advise

Hi All,   How to convince interviewer in  major differences in ssis 2005 and ssis 2008.In my system I have ssis 2008.Can I install ssis 2005? How to install? Thanks CMK…

I've an SSIS package 2005 which uses a for each loop container, this package runs fine when I run it on the local machine . My server is 64 bit SQL 2005 and I 've successfully deployed my package on the server both to the File system and SQL server. I've also set Run64bitruntime to false in my pacakge. Now I need schedule the package using SQL job. Since Microsoft Jet Provider 4.0 is not available for 64 bit, I had to write script to schedule the package. Here is my script. declare   @ssisstr varchar(8000) declare @returncode int set   @ssisstr = 'dtexec /sq Package1 /DE 123' EXEC   @returncode = xp_cmdshell @ssisstr select   @returncode I'm getting the following error when I execute the job. Could not load package "Package1" because of error 0xC0010014. Description: One or more error occurred. There should be more specific errors preceding this one that explains the details of the errors. This message is used as a return value from functions that encounter errors. I'm getting the same error if I run this from commandline. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance. PARC

If you have an excel spreadsheet that displays a number .02 (because it is formated) but internally it is stored as .2654329 and you want to load .2654329 how can you do that in the SSIS package?  When we load the spreadsheet it is loading .02.  Is there some kind of option in the SSIS package to tell the package to load the internal number?lcerni

Hi I have never used Slowly Changing Dimension ,my manager told me that i  have to use use type 2 for this i am not sure what is business key and all,please help me step by step process I have a source table like this [dbo].[CapabilitySpecialty](  [SpecialtyCd] [varchar](30) NOT NULL,  [SpecialtyDesc] [varchar](256) NULL,  [CapabilityCd] [varchar](30) NULL,  [CapabilityDesc] [varchar](256) NULL,  [WorkgroupCd] [varchar](15) NULL,  [WorkgroupDesc] [varchar](100) NULL,  [WorkforceGPSCapabilityCd] [varchar](15) NULL,  [WorkforceDesc] [varchar](100) NULL Now  I have destination table looks like this [Price].[DimCapabilitySpecialty](  [CapabilitySpecialtyKey] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,  [SpecialtyCd] [varchar](30) NOT NULL,  [SpecialtyDesc] [varchar](256) NULL,  [CapabilityCd] [varchar](30) NULL,  [CapabilityDesc] [varchar](256) NULL,  [WorkgroupCd] [varchar](15) NULL,  [WorkgroupDesc] [varchar](100) NULL,  [WorkforceGPSCapabilityCd] [varchar](15) NULL,  [WorkforceDesc] [varchar](100) NULL  

We have few packages where we have enabled logging to msdb (sysssislog). And events selected are OnError, OnExecStatusChanged, OnPostExecute, OnPreExecute, OnTaskFailed, OnWarning. When running this package from BIDS solution, all the event log to the table. However, when it is deployed and run as a job only some of the events get logged to msdb. The package however does run correctly and the data is loaded fine. What we want is that every time a package runs, we should be able to see that each of the task has succeded or failed (like we used to in DTS) Could anyone advise on what the issue seems to be?

Hi I can't see SCD Type 6 in SSIS 2005 ,how do I get add  into my data flow task and if anybody can explain me step by step process for SCD type 6

Hi ALL, I need some help in developing a task. I have a source database which is Oracle and it has a ZIP file stored inside the database in Binary format. When I move this data into the sql server 2005 database I get the data as binary data. Now the task begins with SSIS, I need to read the binary data which gives us a zip file and then unzip this zip file and read the XML data which is present inside the Zip file. I beleive some one might have already developed this task can you share the solution with us. Note: As this has to be moved into production I dont have permission to use third party tools like Cozy roc or install winrar.exe and simpy calling this exe from the execute process task in SSIS.  Raju

The short version is I am looking for a way to prioritize certain tasks in SSIS 2005 control flows. That is I want to be able to set it up so that Task B does not start until Task A has started but Task B does not need to wait for Task A to complete. The goal is to reduce the amount of time where I have idle threads hanging around waiting for Task A to complete so that they can move onto Tasks C, D & E. The issue I am dealing with is converting a data warehouse load from a linear job that calls a bunch of SPs to an SSIS package calling the same SPs but running multiple threads in parallel. So basically I have a bunch of Execute SQL Task and Sequence Container objects with Precedent Constraints mapping out the dependencies. So far no problems, things are working and initial testing looks like it will cut our load time significantly. However I noticed that tasks with no downstream dependencies are commonly being sequenced before those that do have dependencies. This is causing a lot of idle time in certain spots that I would like to minimize. For example: I have about 60 procs involved with this load, ~10 of them have no dependencies at all and can run at any time. Then I have another one with no upstream dependencies but almost every other task in the job is dependent on it. I would like to make sure that the task with the dependencies is running before I pick up any of t

I have read how to do this in multiple places but my report is not able to use a stored procedure for retrieving data. When I select command type 'stored procedure' to populate my dataset, and then switch to the GUI query designer, I only see a partial list of system SPs, not my user defined SPs. My SP does return a single dataset.If I try to manually use the SP, with or without doublequotes and EXEC, the report designer simply tells me that the SP cannot be found.

I am using BIDS / SSIS 2005.  I have a large package that runs very smoothly and fairly quickly when run in debug-mode through BIDS.  When I actually deploy the package to SSIS and execute it using either DTExec or DTExecUI it is WAAAAYYY slower than when run from the development environment.  So slow that I become convinced it is hanging on steps that execute very very quickly in BIDS.  I have read this thread -> http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/5585fa13-dd15-4406-9d4a-e993f2af5929 which has not helped. I understand that DTExec would be faster than DTExecUI because the former does not have to deal with the GUI component but I would have expected both (and especially DTExec) to be faster than running in debug from BIDS. I realize I am not providing a ton of detail here, problem is I just don't know where to start... any advice on what I should be looking at to improve package execution through DTExec and / or DTExecUI would be greatly appreciated.  Why would DTExec be so much slower than BIDS Debug??? Thanks in advance.. - Charles

Hi, I am using SSIS 2005 to import excel files to sql server. I have a large excel file with many columns. I have one column -qty that not all rows have data for it-empty. For such rows a another column-value that i need to export is imported as NULL. If column QTY contains a value than column Value is imported fine but if column QTY is blank Value is NULL even if it does have a value. I have played with TypeGuessRows but it doesn't help. Any ideas? Thanks
