Configurations SSIS

I am using XML Configuration SSIS 2008 VERSION
IN My development server configuration file in D:\SSIS PACKAGES\CONFIG
In production Server Configuration File in C:\SSIS PACKAGES\CONFIG
HOW TO MAP DYNAMICALLY Production Server Config File....

Hi harikiran2010,
You can simply specify a new package configuration for the package execution.
If the package runs in a job, you can edit the SSIS Package job step, switch to the “Configurations” tab, and click “Add” button to navigate to the XML Package Configurations file located in C:\SSIS PACKAGES\CONFIG directory. Please see the screenshot:
If you run the package through DTExec command line, you can add the /ConfigFile option to the command line to specify the new XML Package Configurations file.

To configure SSIS packages out of these SQL Server Standard, Web and Workgroup editions which is preferred?

Hi All,
To configure SSIS packages out of these SQL Server Standard, Web and Workgroup editions which is preferred?
Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva

Hi Shiva,
SSIS designer and runtime, basic transforms, and data profiling tools are only supported by Standard and higher editions. Besides, some advanced SSIS adapters such as High performance Oracle/Teradata destination and Dimension processing destination adapter
are only supported in Enterprise edition. So, if you need to develop/modify SSIS packages on this server, Standard or even Enterprise editor is recommended.

How to pass parameters to sql agent job run configured ssis package

Hi all,
I have a big problem at my small project.
I build my SSIS package that get its variables values from a configuration file..
and when i build a SQL agent job to run this package in a schedule i set the values of variables in it .. but in run-time the package still get its parameters from the configuration file !??
any help please ?

>SQL agent job to run this package in a schedule i set the values of variables in it
One way, setup a configuration table for the package. Let the package read the values for the variables from there.

Best practice with respect to wcf configuration files for SSIS

So after reading a lot of posts and blogs on how to configure SSIS to read from configuration files , I am still not clear and would like any expert to provide a definitive stance. In my case the WCF service consumption is wrapped into a separate assembly.
I am referencing the assembly in an embedded C# script within my SSIS package.
When I make the helper class call to the webservice , I get the endpoint not found WCF exception.
Keep in mind I am running this from VS 2012 IDE and did the following to make sure the WCF call works:
1. Googled and found that you need to have config entries in DtsDebugHost.exe.config file. But it still did not work
2. Had the same entries in the associated app.config file for C# script but it still did not work.
It seems like SSIS is very fragile w.r.t consuming WCF entires in a config file. Is the best practice to just have the end point created in code and externalize the end point as a SSIS variable / xml file or is there really a way to get these config files working.
Attached is the wcf snippet of my config file.
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="ITransactionProcessor">
<security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://ics2wstest.ic3.com/commerce/1.x/transactionProcessor" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="ITransactionProcessor" contract="CyberSource.ITransactionProcessor" name="portXML" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>

I have the code working without use of config files. I am just disappointed that it is not working using the configuration files. That was one of the primary intents of my code re-factoring.
Katherine
Xiong , If you are proposing this as an answer then does this imply that Microsoft's stance is not to use configuration files with SSIS?? Please answer.

SSI problem with Tomcat 4.0.6

Hello,
I have recently configured SSI on my Tomcat 4.0.6, as described in the Tomcat 4.1 documentation. I was unable to find it in the 4.0 documentation and I got a bit suspicious. How is the support for SSI in 4.0?
Anyhow, this is what i can and can't do:
This works fins (example from Apache SSI Tutorial)

This doesn't work (example from Java Servlet Programming, O'Reilly)
<SERVLET CODE=SSITester>
<PARAM NAME=startAt VALUE=10>
</SERVLET>
I would guess that I the SSIServlet uses the subclasses to org.apache.catalina.util.ssi.SsiMediator, but which should i use and how?
/padbaq

I don't think the servlet tag is supported anymore.

Log file isnt named per my expression

Hi, we run std 2008 r2.
I think I'm in a catch 22 but maybe the community can help.
I configured ssis logging using a flat file conn manager I named ssislog. It's connection property is set in an expression as follows...
@[User::logDir] + (DT_WSTR, 50) (YEAR( @[User::Date] ) ) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR, 50) (MONTH( @[User::Date] ) ),2) + RIGHT("0" + (DT_WSTR, 50) (DAY( @[User::Date] ) ),2) + ".txt"
variable User::Date is the target of a resultset mapping in an exec sql task. The latter task is the first component in the pkg.
My logs keep appending to the same datestamped log file based on the initial value stored in variable User::Date at development time. Probably because ssis is put in a quandary needing to bind the log file name before the 1st component runs.
what are my options? I'm going to look for a file rename feature in ssis and post back here.

Yes, it resolved the log file name as the 1st step and used it all the way.
There is nothing you can do if I understood you need a rolling log file feature.

How to make code immune to changes in (external) database names?

I wonder if there is a way to make code in one database immune to changes in names of other databases that the code uses. Essentially, what I'm after is something like an alias but not for a specific object in a database but rather for a whole database,
be it on the same server or any other place. Is something like this possible? I wouldn't like to use Linked Servers, bear in mind please... Thanks for any replies!
Darek

hi Darek,
Have you considered using SSIS for your code? When you use SSIS, you can use data sources which are referenced by the packages, and the underlying connections to databases/servers can be changed without affecting the code. In fact, if you use
configuration files it becomes as simple as changing one record in a table to change where your data sources are pointing. Here is a blog on using ssis package configurations to manage data sources.

Does MMX400R wifi pocket router support for iPad?

I'm using iPad wifi module. I'm planning to purchase MicroMax pocket router 400R. I just want to know the pocket router will support iPad.

no i don't think it does wps. but i think you can still configure the wireless router with the ipad. if you connect to it, just type in the gateway address into safari, logon, and configure
uncle_tungsten wrote:
Sorry, I left out an assumption. The router has not been configured; there is no configured SSIS, username, or password. The wireless router requires an Ethernet connection be made with a PC, to connect to the IP address of the router and configure it.
In my case, I want to configure without using a PC. The router supports the WPS protocol which does not require configuring the SSIS,username, password. My question was whether the iPad supports that protocol. Then, I should be able to enable WPS and click the WPS start button on the router. The iPad should then connect.

SSIS package flow based on a scheduling configuration table.

I have a table called Tbl_Scheduler.
This scheduler table contains
scheduler id ,scheduler description,as shown below.
1 ,Runs between 10 th of current month and 20th of current month
2 ,Runs at last day of the month
3 ,Runs at first day of the month
Scheduler Id will come from first task(it is given in a configuration table),
second task should check this scheduler id on scheduler table and
verify whether the current run date is falling under the criteria,which is given as scheduler description.
If it is not,need to stop the package flow.
SSIS package is scheduled from SQL agent job in every 10 mins.Could you please let us know,how I can design the same.
Also please feel free to advise to change the table design.

Stopping running packages is a bad idea in general. You must specifically design a package for being stopped any time which isn't always possible, often not at all.
And running a package repeatedly in short intervals is not a SOP either.
To trigger a SSIS package run, the easiest would be via sp_start_job <name> once you have your package set up to run in Agent.

When Deploying SSIS Packages to SQL Server using SSMS Import feature, is the package configuration file deployed at the same time?

Hello, everyone,
I have an SSIS package with a XML package configuration file. I deployed it to the sql server using the import feature in SSMS (in Stored Packages, right click MSDB, select Import, select the package to deploy in file system). My question is
Is the XML package configuration file also deployed? If so, which folder is it stored so that I can change the values in it? If not, is setting up the Configuration tab when scheduling a agent job the way to go manually bring the configuration file in?
Your help and information is much appreciated.
Regards

Thank you Arthur for your reply. I appreciate it.
A followup questions:
I used direct setting for the configuration file path on C:\. But it needs to be on D:\ on the remote server. I can't create the D:\ path because I don't have D:\ drive on my computer (I understand I could use indirect setting to change the path in the remote
server. But that's not the concern here).
My question is: since the configuration is not deployed, can I make it up by setting up the Configurations in creating the agent job step? That is, copy the configuration file to the D:\ drive on the remote server, in Configurations tab, add the configuration
file on D:\ to the configuration. Will it work? Will the package still look for the original config file on C:\? and if it doesn't find it there, will it cause any error?
Thank you in advance for your help.

try
Pack = App.LoadPackage(strPackageName, null);
if (Pack != null)
if (configvalue == "DEV")
filename = Dts.Variables["Config_QA"].Value.ToString();
else if (configvalue == "PROD")
filename = Dts.Variables["Config_Pd"].Value.ToString();
else
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Failure;
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Unable to bind the XML Configurations");
return;
} System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Config:"+filename);

Pack.EnableConfigurations = true;
Pack.Configurations.Add();
App.SaveToXml(strPackageName, Pack, null)
pkgResults = Pack.Execute(); //Pack.Execute();
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Results:" + pkgResults.ToString());
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
But ouput in ssis showing as
But some thing missed in code plz help me ...

Configuration file in ssis

Can I have one configuration file for all the packages I have created, So that changing server name will change all packages server names?
If yes, help me out in doing it.
Thanks,
Sri
sree

Config file has to be deployed separately. You can share config files across packages so far as connections/ items are all similar. While using config files its best to use indirect configuration so as to determine file location dynamically at runtime

How to change destination table dynamically in configuration file in ssis?

hello,
i have a package i am having one data flow task.in data flow task i have one source and one destination.source and destination are different.i have created xml configuration file by configuring source and destination connection
strings.
now i want to change destination in the same server to different database with out opening the package.i want to directly change in the config file.we can change it by modifying configured value proerty and intial catalogue value.but if the table is not
existed in the changed database.how we can create it dynamically.

HI jiri Neoral,
thanks for reply,as you said above process by this we can do change only databasename.if in my destination database,the table which i used in package is not existed,can we create it dynamically
using config file.later changing table name is possible?
For that you need to have a step in SSIS package prior to data flow task to check if table exists and if not create it
You can use execute sql task with query like below
IF OBJECT_ID('TableName') IS NULL
CREATE TABLE TableName

SSIS configuration Not Working With SQL agent Job

Hi,
I have created an SSIS configuration table in SQL Server where in I store all connection strings. This configuration is enabled within my package. To make even the DB where I store connection strings, I have an environment varibale. I thus have 2 configurations
in the following order:
1. env variable: Points to the DB where in my connection strings would be stored.
2. SQl Server configuration:where I actually, store the connection strings.
However , when I try to execute the package, it seems the SQL Server agent does not read from the Configuration tables at all.
Can someone let me know how to enable this from within SQL Server agent? I do not store connection strings in a file, so I can't add any files within the configuration tab.
Please let me know as to how do I enable configurations stored within SQL tables from SQL Server Agent jobs. I am using SQL Server 2008.

Todd,
Yes, I have enabled the configurations from within the package. When I open the package from BIDS, I do see information stating that package is trying to read from the environment variable and from the SQL Server.
However, when the same package is used in a SQL Agent job, in the data sources tab, I see the connection string which I have set manually within the package, not the one which it should read from the Configuration table.
E.g. in the design of my package, I am using Server A with Credential1, but within the Configuration table, against the same Connection, for the Same Server , I have stored Credential2.
It should read the Credential2, as I have configuration enabled (as I can also verify from the messages within BIDS, upon opening the pacakge).
However, it just reads the same Credential1, which has been supplied at design time.
Not sure how can I access the Configuration stored within the SQL table from a SQL Agent job
