An SSIS package that I'm building has two OLE DB connections, to databases named "core" and "staging". I created test versions of these two databases on my local SQL Server installation. I named them "test1_core" and "test1_staging". The "test1_" namespace is necessary because I have many SSIS different packages in active development at one time, and many of them refer to the same production databases. But it need each local SSIS package to refer to its own version of the database. This works okay until I need to refer to the database name in the package specifically like in an Execute SQL task that includes two connections. Also, I have SQL scripts that say use [core] at the top and I wish I could just use them on my local server without always having to open them up and change that line to use [test1_core] first, then having to change it back. Is there some way to namespace the database name from within SQL Server so I can just refer to the local database as "core" from the SSIS package?

I'm implementing an SSIS/CDC based data warehouse solution and have a question relating to referential integrity on the destination database. As an example, I have INVENTORY_TRANSACTION in one table and PART in another table each with their own SSIS package for incremental loads. I don't want to have a situation where I have INVENTORY_TRANSACTIONS in the data warehouse that don't have an associated parent PART record. I've read quite a bit on the subject but I'm still unclear. Should I be using the same capture_instance on the tables that have related data so they all target the same LSN chain? Should I be using the same State name? Or, am I missing something entirely?

In a SSIS package , I need some sort of condition that include two connections. The simplified problem is: A simple CSV import to SQL Server, DB1, table 1( col1, col2 ). I need to populate table 1 > col2 = '1' if col1 is found in another database , DB2 > table 2 ; db2 is specified as a different connection in package. and table 1 > col2 = '2' if col1 is not found in the lookup database. any guidance is appreciated, ta

We deployed the packages from an old server to a new server. How to change the connection string i.e initial catalog or server name parameter from Agent job -> Configuration -> Connection manager? Is there a possibility to do it from here? I'm receiving the below error if I'm changing the data source and servername.

I have a data flow in a 2012 SSIS package where I'm trying to use a temp table as the data source. I'm using an OLE DB data source with a SQL Command Data access mode. My code looks like this: CREATE TABLE #Checksums (DBName sysname, CheckSum bigint) -- Code that loads the Checksum table here SELECT DBName, CheckSum FROM #Checksums In order to get the data source to pull the list of columns I temporarily put the following: SELECT CAST(NULL AS sysname) DBName, CAST(NULL as bigint) CheckSum That got the columns created and I was able to map to my destination. I have ValidateExternalMetadata set to false on the data source and DelayValidation set to true on the data flow. My code works correctly in SSMS however every time I run the package it errors out with the following: [OLE DB Source ] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 11.0" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Invalid object name '#qtemp'.". [OLE DB Source ] Error: Unable to retrieve column information from the data source. Make sure your target table in the database is available. [SSIS.Pipeline] Error: OLE DB Source failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020204A. Is it possible to use a temp table like this in a data source? If so is there a trick I'm missing?

Little background on the system. It is SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group with 1 primary and 1 secondary. I have been following this article (SSIS with AlwaysOn ) to make SSIS work with AlwaysOn. I have a table that records the current role of the server and a job that runs every two minutes checking if it recently failed over. The problem I am running into is the secondary only accepts readonly connections for the SSISDB and my script won't execute because of it. Here is the script: USE master; DECLARE @last_role TINYINT; SET @last_role = ( SELECT TOP 1 [replica_role] FROM [dbo].[replica_role] ); DECLARE @current_role TINYINT; SET @current_role = ( SELECT ROLE FROM sys.dm_hadr_availability_replica_states WHERE is_local = 1 ); IF (@last_role = 2 AND @current_role = 1) BEGIN USE SSISDB; OPEN MASTER KEY DECRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'x' ALTER MASTER KEY ADD ENCRYPTION BY SERVICE MASTER KEY END USE master; UPDATE dbo.[replica_role] SET [replica_role] = @current_role; I am confused as to why the error is happening because the IF statement is evaluating to false so the USE SSISDB is not getting executed. I could turn the statements into strings and use exec but I would rather not if possible. When I execute the script this is the error I get: > The target database ('SSISDB') is in an availability group and is currently accessible > for connections when the application intent is set to read only. For more information > about application intent, see SQL Server Books Online.

I want to implement something like the following: In this package, I want to loop through a list of database names, dynamically modifying connection manager settings. However, the first failure on "Test Connection" will halt and fail the package execution. But I'd like to continue my Foreach loop. I get the sense that this should be possible (otherwise what's the use case for these red failure arrows?) Things I've tried include messing with "MaximumErrorCount".

We are currently using SSIS 2012. Is there any way for a user to view execution reports under SSIS Catalog without being ssis_admin or sysadmin? This is for production environment and we don't want people to manipulate SSIS Catalog projects.

In an SSIS dataflow task we have a derived column transformation with approximately 100 columns (basically converting raw input string data into typed variables). When this task fails, is there any way to tell _which_ column caused the failure, for logging purposes? The only other alternatives I can think of are a custom script task to perform each conversion individually (yuck) or a separate derived column transformation for each data point (double yuck). Basically I just want to be able to re-direct failure rows and know _why_ they failed. --- So an example. Our package is being used to allow users to bulk-upload to our database using Excel spreadsheets. So let's say the spread sheet coming in looks like this (except there's hundreds of columns): +--------+-----------------+---------+------------+---------+ | Text1 | Number1 | Number2 | DateTime1 | Text2 | +--------+-----------------+---------+------------+---------+ | Spring | 1 | 1 | 1/1/0001 | Flowers | | Summer | 2 | 2 | 6/1/2015 | Sweaty | | Fall | N/A | 3 | 10/31/2099 | Crunchy | | Winter | This is garbage | 4 | 12/12/2020 | Icy | +--------+-----------------+---------+------------+---------+ In this instance we want Spring, Summer, and Fall to succeed. Fall have a null value for Number1. The derived column will have logic that looks something like this (not valid syntax, just the logic) sanitizedNumber1 = Number1 == "N/A" ? null : cast(Number1 as int) Winter will be redirected down the error path and logged. Is there any way to know which derived column failed? Again, we have about 100 inputs that are being processed in this transformation in a similar fashion. I'd like to be able to log something like: >Import record "Winter" failed due to invalid data in "Number1" It doesn't necessarily have to be this format, but anything that would allow a user to be able to uniquely identify the bad data point would be acceptable. I know this would be possible using a script component and performing the conversions manually (which is what we're going to have to do if there's no better option) but if it's possible to just modify the Derived Column Transformation to provide something along these lines I'd rather do that instead of re-implementing the entire component in a script.

I have a package that I am updating. The package is executed by a Job Agent job. After deleting the package and then deploying the new version, I run a script that executes any necessary [create_environment], [create_environment_reference], [create_environment_variable], and [set_object_parameter_value] statements. However, when I start the job, it fails with the following error message (where "n" is a number which doesn't appear in any of the relevant SSISDB tables or views as an id of any kind): > The environment reference n is not associated with the project

I have created multiple packages that use variables to assign Connection Manager Expressions such as Connection String. However in the new SQL 2012 Project Deployment Model I don't seem to be able to configure these variables. Would I therefore need to create these Parameters for the Environment and map them to specific Package Variables? Is this even possible and how is this done? This link describes configuring the Parameters, but not associating to **package** Variables. Further to this, it seems I *could* set a Varaiable Expression to be a Project or Package Parameter, however this seems a bit convoluted. Perhaps I should stop using Variables altogether? ----- Update: I've now cut-over to using Project-level and Package-level Parameters (instead of Package Variables) when I need to modify per-environment settings such as file paths and connection strings. Perhaps this was the intent from MS: any best practice advice is of course, still welcome.

I am facing issue while decryption, Please help me if my column encryption/decryption process is wrong. I encrypted table in Source DB and back up certificate, then exported my encrypted table result to CSV from source DB. In the destination DB, I Created master Key, and using certificate backup (of my source DB) I created certificate in destination and then my symmetric key. Now I imported the CSV result into my destination DB table and running my decryption script. But it gives me NULL value. (Decryption works fine in source DB, same is not working in destination). Below is my sample script, ----AT MY SOURCE DB---- CREATE TABLE tbluser ( id INT, NAME VARCHAR(200), encryptname VARBINARY(200) ) INSERT INTO tbluser (id, NAME) VALUES (1, 'Raj'), (2, 'Vimal') CREATE master KEY encryption BY password = 'M@sterKey123' CREATE certificate testcert1 WITH subject = 'Test my Certificate'; BACKUP certificate testcert1 TO FILE = 'D:\DESKTOP\Certificate\TestCert1.cer' WITH private KEY ( FILE = 'D:\DESKTOP\Certificate\pkTestCert1.pvk', encryption BY password = 'Certific@te123' ); CREATE symmetric KEY symkeytest1 WITH algorithm = aes_256 encryption BY certificate testcert1; OPEN symmetric KEY symkeytest1 decryption BY certificate testcert1; UPDATE tbluser SET encryptname = Encryptbykey(Key_guid('SymKeyTest1'), NAME); CLOSE symmetric KEY symkeytest1; OPEN symmetric KEY symkeytest1 decryption BY certificate testcert1; SELECT TOP 5 NAME, CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), Decryptbykey(encryptname)) DecryptedName FROM tbluser; CLOSE symmetric KEY symkeytest1 DECLARE @str NVARCHAR(2000), @path NVARCHAR(200)='D:\DESKTOP\Certificate', @TableName NVARCHAR(100)='tbluser' SET @str = 'BCP Test.dbo.' + @TableName + ' OUT ' + @path + '\' + @TableName + '.csv -c -t^| -T -S MAILPTP45\SQL2012' EXEC Xp_cmdshell @str ----AT MY DESTINATION DB---- CREATE master KEY encryption BY password = 'M@sterKey123' CREATE certificate testcert1 FROM FILE = 'D:\DESKTOP\Certificate\TestCert1.cer' WITH private KEY(FILE = 'D:\DESKTOP\Certificate\pkTestCert1.pvk', decryption BY password = 'Certific@te123') CREATE symmetric KEY symkeytest1 WITH algorithm = aes_256 encryption BY certificate testcert1; CREATE TABLE tbluser ( id INT, NAME VARCHAR(200), encryptname VARBINARY(200) ) BULK INSERT [tbluser] FROM 'D:\DESKTOP\Test\tbluser.csv' WITH ( fieldterminator = '|', rowterminator = '\n' ) OPEN symmetric KEY symkeytest1 decryption BY certificate testcert1; SELECT TOP 5 NAME, CONVERT(VARCHAR(50), Decryptbykey(encryptname)) DecryptedName FROM tbluser; CLOSE symmetric KEY symkeytest1

I have a SQL Agent job that runs an SSIS 2012 package every 30 seconds to export a small amount of data to a CSV file. There is often nothing to export, but when there is, the business wants it done ASAP. This has been running fine for months without error, but over the weekend it had 3 failures: Start Time: 7/25/2015, 11:43:13 PM, End Time: 7/25/2015 11:44:36 PM, Status: Ended Unexpectedly Start Time: 7/25/2015, 11:52:05 PM, End Time: 7/25/2015 11:53:13 PM, Status: Ended Unexpectedly Start Time: 7/26/2015, 5:01:31 PM, End Time: 7/25/2015 5:01:31 PM, Status: Failed In each case, there were no records in internal.operation_messages for the operation_id. The All Executions report also showed no Messages and no entries under Execution Overview. Normal durations for this package are in the 4 - 26 second range. So the **Ended Unexpectedly** executions had unusually long durations. The **Failure** execution had a duration of zero. There are no maintenance jobs of any kind running at the time of these failures. I found this in the Application Event Log that correlates to the time of the Failed execution: > The operation 414582 (GUID:82f992bf-ed2a-4d82-b25d-92a9d3052cd9) > terminated because the AppDomain 488 is unloaded. Try restarting the > execution. I don't know what this means. I found instances of this message that correlate to the "ended unexpectedly" executions: > The SSIS Execution Process could not write to the IS catalog: > MyInstance:SSISDB Error details: Timeout expired. The timeout period > elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not > responding What are some possible causes for these?

I'm using SQL Server 2012 to run my Integration Services (SSIS) package by deploying it to the SSIS catalog. Then an error happened in my packages, so I went to check what it is by opening: **Reports | All Executions | All Messages** However, it never actually opens and loads forever: And when I tried clicking the refresh button, this error showed up instead: I don't have any clue what's going on, and I don't remember it ever being like this before, so something (or someone) must have been changing things. Where should I check on this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am executing an SSIS package on a db server and receiving an error. I can execute it just fine on my local machine but when I try to execute it via a SQL Job I get the following: Executed as user: \. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 11.0.6020.0 for 64-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Argument ""CM.BackUpDB.ConnectionString";"Data "Source=;Initial" "Catalog=; Provider=SQLNCLI11.1;Integrated" Security=SSPI;"" for option "parameter" is not valid. The command line parameters are invalid. The step failed. It appears to me as though SSIS is splitting the connection string at the spaces instead of the semicolons. Why would it be doing that? I am running SQL Server 2012. I do not have configuration files, nor am I dynamically generating the connection strings. They get configured in the SQL Job.

I'm developing an ETL, which must read data from a table. There are times that my user's access to that table is revoked. So, to avoid the ETL failing, before reading the table I must verify if I have permission to do it. If not, I'll just skip the extract step and run the rest of the ETL. What's the proper way of verifying if my user has read permission over a table?

Within my SSIS package-dataflow I have a script component and within this component whenever I add a Web reference and close editor, script component gives me > "Validation error. Data Flow Task Script Component : The binary code for the script is not found. Please open the script in the designer by clicking Edit Script button and make sure it builds successfully." I can successfully build from the editor, but error resides there. How can I solve this problem. Ps: I am using SSDT for VS2012.

We have deployed one SSIS 2012 project with two ADO.Net Project Connection Managers. (There are five packages within the project.) The project has a related Environment, with a variable containing a server name. I want to map the variable to the project connection manager ServerName property. When I right-click on the SSIS project node in SSMS 2012, launching the Configure dialog box, I can locate the Connection Manager, and highlight it to see its properties, but ServerName is not visible in the Properties list. Usually, the ServerName property is listed under the RetainSameConnection property. It's visible on other Project Connection Managers in the same project. Why would this property be hidden, just for one Connection Manager?

I´m trying to create a SSIS package in SQL Server Management Studio using the Import/Export Wizard. I´m trying to copy the tables from an existing db to another one, but I´m getting errors because of the foreign keys (because the tables are created in a given order without taking care about the design). How to add this foreign key to my package?

In an SSIS package there are event handlers on every data flow tasks which send an email with a brief description of the error. I fail the first task by introducing an error condition and get 3 emails. Is there any way to avoid spamming the support staff with 3x the error messages and just send the first one (or if not possible, any one of the three)? The first one is related to the actual SQL error condition: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "The statement has been terminated.". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Amount'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo. Amount'. The duplicate key value is (2013, 10, 25000.00).". It is followed by the second one: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "Report.Inputs[OLE DB Destination Input]" failed because error code 0xC020907B occurred, and the error row disposition on "Report.Inputs[OLE DB Destination Input]" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure. And finally the last one: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "Report" (29) failed with error code 0xC0209029 while processing input "OLE DB Destination Input" (42). The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure. I already experimented with replacing each task's OnError with the single package's OnError but that one does not seem to have access to the error's pertinent information. Worst part is that the 1st two emails are arriving in random order. The 1st one arrives 1st slightly more often, but still randomly. The 3d one seems to be always last.
