Extracting package information from SSIS

Hi all,
I am supposed to maintain a bunch of excels documenting all the mappings I'm doing in SSIS.  The excels have the following format:
Target Field | Target Type | Source Table | Source Field | Source Type | Transformation Rule
Apart from being incredibly tedious, it is hard to keep every excel current, as there are other people adding and taking information from the database model.
I plan to extract this information from SSIS and create the excels dinamically, but, apart from parsing the .dtsx for each package, I see no other way of getting what I need.
Any suggestions on how I should do this? Is there an easier way?
Cheers,
David Leal

The SSIS object model provides access to all aspects of the package, you can use it from both managed and unmanaged code. Also, take a look as SQL BI Metadata Samples that has similar goal of documenting the package, you may find some of its code useful for your project.

  • How can I extract structure information from registered XSDs ?

    Hello,
    I am trying to extract hierarchy and type information from registered XML schemas which include other XML Schemas, in a single SQL query.
    In essence I would love to be able to write a query of the form
    SELECT *
      FROM XMLTABLE('//xs:element'
                    PASSING <the root schema object goes here>
                    COLUMNS   ELEM_NAME       VARCHAR2(63) PATH '@name'
                            , ELEM_REF        VARCHAR2(62) PATH '@ref'

                            , FRACTION_DIGITS VARCHAR2(10) PATH '/xs:fractionDigits/@value'
                   )together with an indicator if each element is a leaf or not as well as its level and position information, by suitably expanding the appropriate type information from the (possibly) included XML Schemas (via schemaLocation).
    Does anybody know if there is a way to do this ?
    I will provide my sample XSD files if needs be ...

    Have a look at the xdbutilities.zip packages... Probably all the info needed can be found in the code used there:

  • Sales order does not extract plant information from material master data

    Hi experts,
    I have created a sales order. However, the plant in the shipping tab can only be manually entered.
    I have made the check:
    the customer material master data does not have the plant info.
    the customer master data does not have it either.
    It is defined in the material master data: sales:general/plant
    But the sales order did not extract this information. Why does this happen?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,
    Fan

    Hello Friend,
    As right stated by you,
    The Plant will be copied from the master data to the sales order, if not it should be manually entered
    The Sequence System will search for the Plant is as follow..
    1. Customer material infor record, If it was not maintained then it will search in
    2. Customer master, if the entre was not maintained in the SHIPPING TAB
    3. Finally it will search in the Material master in the Sales organisation data 1 in the field DELVERING PLANT field.
    So please search whether the entry was maintained in that field at the sales:sales organisation data 1.
    This might be the issue.
    Please revert if you want further details
    regards,

  • Extracting package information

    First off, sorry if this is a little off topic but I'm really struggling to find the right forum :(
    We're developing an application that needs to be able to extract pkginfo style information without necessarily running on a solaris box. Is there anywhere that documents the binary format used by the pkg* family of utilities? The directory form is easy to deal with but the single archive version is leaving us a little stumped at the moment.
    Thanks for any suggestions and pointers,
    Rob

    The pkg* utility family doesn't use binary formatting. The pkg info database is purely text based.
    Package can come in two flavors (and I'll probably get this wrong).
    1) PackageStream - which means the "package" and all its contents are in one "file". But I've never dug in deep enough to see if the "format" of the file is purely CPIO, SHARE format (I don't think it is), or some other derivative.
    2) Tar bundle that extracts down into a directory structure.
    In both formats there is a file called pkginfo (among others) that gives the package information.

  • How to extract meta information from a wmv9 video file?

    Hi,
    I need to get the meta data (e.g. sample rate, length, resolution ..) extracted from a wmv9 video file.
    I know that there is no direct support for wmv files in java, e.g. from the JMF. Although there is a plugin fobs4jmf available which is a wrapper for ffmpeg able to decode/encode wmv files it only has full support for wmv7 and wmv8 files.
    Does anyone know a solution to parse wmv9 files in java on a linux/windows os?
    Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  • Package migration from SSIS 2008 R2 to SQL server 2012

    hi guys:
      My company has decided to use Sql server 2012 for the database service, Integration service as well as analysis service
      The first question is which tool I should install to run packages ? in SQL Server 2008 R2, I've installed BIDS which is inside the disk.
      Also do I need to install any visual studio tools? I was under the impression that the BIDS 2008 was using kinda shell visual studio. 
     Thanks

    Hi cat_ca,
    To develop package in SQL Server 2012 Integration Services, we use the SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT 2012) which can be installed from the SQL Server 2012 install media. The SSDT 2012 use Visual Studio 2010 shell by default and can be integrated into Visual
    Studio 2010. By installing SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012, we can also integrate SSDT 2012 into Visual Studio 2012. However, SSDT 2012 cannot be integrated into Visual Studio 2013. As far as I know, the SSDT 2014 released
    in SQL Server 2014 RTM will use the Visual Studio 2013 shell and can be integrated into Visual Studio 2013.

  • SSIS Package Downgrade from SSIS 2012 to SSIS 2005

    Hi,
    I have developed several SSIS packages using 2012 version.
    Is there any way that I can use the same packages in SSIS 2005
    version ? Actually, while opening in SSIS 2005 version it is giving error , that packages developed in newer version and can not be opened in lower version.
    Any work around also for this available ?
    Thanks

    As alternative,  you will have to write the package from the scratch.

  • How to stop package execution from SSIS or logic

    Hi all,
    I need to stop the execution of a package (datamanager) when the user chooses a particular (wrong) category from the package prompt. It is a security check.
    The package uses a custom dtsx chain.
    I need to stop it using a SSIS task (I don't know how) or if it is simplier I need to stop just a script logic (.lgf) that is inside the package.
    Thank you
    (bpc ms version 10)

    Only the user who ran the package can cancel it.
    If you want to cancel another user you should log into Integration services server, and then stop the running package. (System admins usually do this)

  • [Solved]How to extract boot information from an iso

    Hi,
    i remember of extracting a boot.bin file containing the boot information of an ISO file using the command "eltorito <some options> boot.bin" or something. Could you please tell me with package privides this in arch? i think i ve used the above command on on a debian based distro..
    Thank you very much.
    Last edited by Zapman (2012-10-08 12:27:58)

    Maybe look into how archiso does it? For example, use Ctrl+F to search for ".bin" on this page a few times. It mentions:
    xorriso -as mkisofs ${_qflag} \
    -eltorito-boot isolinux/isolinux.bin \
    -isohybrid-mbr ${work_dir}/iso/isolinux/isohdpfx.bin \
    And pkgfile says that xorriso belongs to:
    $ pkgfile xorriso

  • How to extract Billing information from IS-U

    Hi Gurus,
    I currently use extractor 0UC_SALES_STATS_01 to get sales figures from IS-U. It works fine but only gives data for which an invoice has been created.
    I would like to get all billing documents, including those for which no invoice has been created (not yet).
    Do you have any idea how to get this information ? The goal is to compare Billing <> Invoicing
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Tom

    Hi Durgesh,
    Thanks for the info but both datasources extract the same data, only the loading method is different.
    Both datasources extract data for which a reconcilation key can be found.
    I want to extract billing data for which no reconciliation key is available in order to be able to figure out how much is still to be invoiced.
    Regards,
    Tom

  • Extracting more information from XI XSLT mapping failure

    Hello
    I am getting to grips with XI. When developing XSLT mappings I first run them on Stylus or XMLSpy, ensure they work, and then deploy them to XI.
    Unfortunately they sometimes fail to work in XI, and the amount of information retrieved about the failure is very small.
    I thought of a method to get more infomation in situations like this. I could write a Java method that sends messages to the XI console. This would involve seeing the javadoc API for GlobalContainer, Container and AbstractTrace. I would also need to have these objects in my classpath in order to compile the method. Then I could use the method in the XSL.
    There are two small drawbacks to this plan: I cannot find the Javadoc or the Jar file holding the classes.
    Perhaps one of you readers could either tell me where these things are, or suggest a better method of solving problems like this.
    In either case I look forward to receiving a reply.
    Thanks
    Bill Logan

    Thanks for the suggestion,
    completely forgot about the simpler <xsl:message/> command. I tried this, and it worked fine in Stylus.....but not in XI.
    I think the problem s when the file is being loaded. An alert box pops up. It says
    "Transformer configuration exception occurred when loading XSLT GDS_to_DP.xsl (http://sap.com/xi/GDSConsole, 155fc320-f69f-11d8-97f7-c0140a114c15, -1)"
    and the trace window says this
    "10:00:13 Start of test
    Creating XSLT mapping GDS_to_DP
    URIResolver called with href = GDS_DP_Common.xsl and base = GDS_to_DP.xsl
    Source resolved. System id = GDS_DP_Common.xsl
    10:00:14 End of test"
    It seems obvious (from deduction) that the problem lies in GDS_DP_Common.xsl. XI will not give me any information precisely where this occurs
    Thanks for you earlier answer Alessandro

  • Any way to extract iMessage information from encrypted iTunes backup?

    I have an encrypted backup, from which I'd like to extract a single iMessage thread (which dates back some 2 years, many attachements there that I'd like to be saved). Any way to do it? I have tried likes of Aiseesoft (yes even the full version) but it won't accept it due to encryption. Is there a way to delete the encryption?I know the password for it, can't unlock it anywhere. Is it possible if I roll back to iTunes 8-9? IIRC you could choose there whether to encrypt it or not.

    No, it's simply not possible to crack the encryption or turn it off short of entering the encryption passcode during the restore process.
