Show description by default in SSIS Variables window

Hello,
by clicking on "Grid Options" in the Variables window in SSIS it is possible to show the column "description".
After closing and reopening Visual Studio the column is gone and you have to add it again.
There seems to be no way of saving this setting, even in the newest version of SSIS designer in Visual Studio 2013.
Is there any way to save this?
Thanks

Hi RoundFour,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. Based on my research, it is caused by design in SQL Server Integrated Services. The following feedback is for your reference:

SSIS Variable Window is Hidden

hi,
When designing SSIS package I can't seem to display "Variables" window. Right clicking on the design surface and choosing "Variables" has no effect. Also when I go to View -> Other Windows,
clicking on "Variables" - has no effect too. It must be some envinronmental settings, I guess.
Any Idea?

Hi,
This is the solution I provided for someone else and it worked for them (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/47bdf8e8-004c-44bb-bd1f-ed05be76c6cf).
Select Import and Export Settings from the Tools menu.
Select the Reset all Settings option and click on next
Select the No option and click on next
Select Business Intelligence Studio and click on Finish
Now see if the variables windows displays when you select it in the SSIS menu.
Cheers

DO A BACKUP FIRST
Use your recovery partition so you can reset everything.(power up up holding the COMMAND R keys and restore OS X You can do a restoration and start from square one.
Your profile does not disclose the version of OSX but from the forum you posted in I assume your are running 10.7 Lion, which is wnat a Mac uses.You have listed in your profile iOS and a iPhone, iOS is used for iPhones, iPads, iPods...mobile devices, and is quite different from OSX which is used by Mac computers.
As well as the year and model ID of your mac. (You can find this info by clicking on the Apple logo in the menu bar>About this Mac>more info/system profile (depending on which OSX you are using) then posting it, so that we can eliminate the "guessing" of of how to possibly provide help/advice/suggestions to you
Without this info it is difficult to help someone reading this post to offer advice/suggestions.

Default value for variable are not within permitted value range (precalc)

Hello BW community
Issue:
I have created a variable (Characteristic Value/ Manual input-default value) and use the precalculated value set (details-basic settings). In the further variable definition I could select the precalculated value set in 'Default values', which I have defined beforehand in the broadcaster..
The precalculated value set in the broadcaster settings is just based on a master data query on 0CUSTOMER.
Error:
The variable gets the error E991/R9E Errors: Default values for variable 'XXX' are not within permitted value range.
The detail description of the error is: You defined default values for variable 'Sold-to party precalc value set for manuel input' that are not appropriate for the variable type; for example, a range is defined as a default value for a variable that only permits a single value.
So please has someone had the same issue and found out how to solve it? It would be excelent to get good solution for this issue.
Best regards and thanks

Hello,
Thanks for your response.
I should have mentioned that in my post. I tried this very first time. I thought that this is the place where you provide default value. But I got following exception at that time, so I thought, may be this is used for something else.
<LifecycleImpl> <_handleException> ADF_FACES-60098:Faces lifecycle receives unhandled exceptions in phase RENDER_RESPONSE 6
javax.faces.FacesException: javax.servlet.ServletException: OracleJSP error:
oracle.jbo.NameClashException: JBO-25001: Object viewAllInd of type Control Binding Definition already exists.
at com.sun.faces.context.ExternalContextImpl.dispatch(ExternalContextImpl.java:415)Do I need handle something else when you put the default value?
Thanks,

Set SSIS variable = database connection manager name

Is it possible to set a SSIS string to only the name of a database connection manager or even the connection string it uses ? I don't see an option for that in Evaluate as expression property of ssis variable.
This is what I mean -
SSIS Connection manager name = SQL_DBASE
SSIS String str_managerName = SSIS Connection manager name: Can you do this dynamically in SSIS ?

I'm guessing what they really want to do is evaluate some indicator (some input from a user or an infrastructure setting) and then dynamically connect to any one of 10 (arbitrary example) database servers based on what they get as input. They
don't care about the connection manager per se. What seems reasonable is the that the Connection Manager might take a server variable but if they wanted to do things like that they would have bought Datastage.
You might try attacking this problem at the Control Level and then connect to the database you want based on a variable you set. I'm seeing that a Sequence Container can branch on the contents of a variable.
Or if the dba is your friend you might get the dba to add all your servers as linked servers to a central connection machine and then you might be able to do this by putting the ssis variable in a "Sql Command from a Variable" variable.
It might look something like this:
Server is designated in ssis var @[User::Machine]
then executing from a variable
"select top 100 * from " + @[User::Machine] + ".mydb.dbo.mytable"
Be careful as hades about levels of indirection and what quotes you want at what level. Evaluate Expression in ssis helps with this. The syntax I show works only with an ms sql connection server to a remote ms sql server. This is what a
dynamic connection to a linked server connection to Oracle would look like:
"select * from
openquery("+ @[User::Machine] + ",'select * from oradb.oratable where rownum < 100')"
When ever a thousand of your best friends are helping you connect to your database (using tools like linked servers as opposed to direct connections) it's probably best to use with only small specific updates or queries, large queries or large
updates would probably take a long time and or might not finish. But try it before you give up. We are actually doing fairly large Oracle queries (5-10 million rows) through ms sql linked server.

BEx Analyzer Not showing report result in canceling "Change variable Icon"

Hi Experts,
Do we have any settings in BEx Analyzer for retrive the Result set even after I click 'Change variable Icon' in Toolbar and cancel the variable pop-up window??
Eg: My query Result is displayed in Analyzer selecting some vaues in Selection screen.And when I click the Change Variable Icon from 'Analyzer Toolbar' its showing me 'Select values for variable' window.If I select the cancel button in it, then Query result becom blank showing the message "There are variables; change variable values". Do Analyzer having an option or settings to keep the result even if i cancel the variable selection from "change variable icon".
Thanx in advance..

Sari-
If SAP provides such a function, I have not found it. The way I understand it., the change variable value initiates the OLAP back end. This clears the Presentation Manager front end, and clears the 'results' that are displayed on your workbook. If you cancel the OLAP run, the front end clear still executes.
HOWEVER... if you turn OFF Automatic Refresh before clicking on Change Variable Values and then clicking on Cancel, the presentation manager will not write any changes to your workbook. So that is your best solution.

Trouble getting the default user directory under Windows XP

I m trying to get the default user directory under windows XP SP3.
To do so, I'm using
System.getProperty("user.home");
I was expecting to get a path like "C:\Documents and Settings\user", nstead of that I get "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Destop".
I checked the %USERPROFILE% and %HOMEPATH% window's environment variables and both of them are correctly set ( set to "C:\Documents and Settings\user").
Is there any way to get the right path other than using : System.setProperty("user.home", "C:\\Documents and Settings\\user"); ?

Thanks WalterLaan,
The System.getenv("USERPROFILE") method will, at least, fix the problem under win XP.
I guess i'll have to write a more refined method to be able to deploy my application under differents OSes.

Could I change the default temp folder(C:\Windows\Temp)?

Post Author: h1i9k7o2
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi All:
My web server is IIS 6. Sometimes the temp crystal report objects could not dispose when I close IE. I have some codes to control the evnet(colse IE to dispose CR objects) but the result is not good. Could I change the default temp folder(C:\Windows\Temp)? Because I want to delete the temp files by schedule. If the temp folder in C:\Windows\Temp, there maybe have anohter .tmp files in this folder and I want to avoid to delete them. Thank you very much.

Post Author: h1i9k7o2
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Thank you very much. But this is not my solution. I prefer to set the temp folder by a method or attribute to set the physical path, or to change the register. On the other way, Can I set the Environment Variables like %BOE_TEMP% for the default temp folder. Because there maybe some other systems also used the same environment variables(%TEMP%). When I delete the temp file in %BOE_TEMP% folder, I will never to delete temp files of the other systems. Could I?

Set SSIS variable property 'EvaluateAsExpression' to true dynamically

I have a variable in SSIS.Initially i will set the value 'EvaluateAsExpression' property to false.
In my package.I have a foreach loop container.Once the execution enters in to the for each loop container.I want to set the 'EvaluateAsExpression' to true.Is that possible??
Can anyone please help

Hi Abhinav530,
It’s not supported to change the EvaluateAsExpression property of a SSIS variable at runtime. I guess the sceanrio may be that you want the variable to use the default value when the package execution hasn’t entered the Foreach Loop Container phase, while
the variable get value from the expression when the execution of the Foreach Loop Container starts. In this circumstance, you can create another variable with the same name but in the Foreach Loop Container scope. In this way, you don’t need to make changes
to the existing expressions that reference the variable, and the variable in Foreach Loop Container scope will override the same name variable in package scope when the Foreach Loop Container executes.

How to restrict "Open Applications" window from showing C drive? Or use the Windows Explorer "Open" Window?

Hi, Im new to JDeveloper and I work in a school which requires restriction of the C: Drive. Does any one know how I can either stop the "Open Applications" dialog from showing this drive or Use the Windows Explorer "Open" dialog window to browse files, the drive has been hidden and restricted using GPO but JDeveloper shows the C: drive?
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi and thanks Timo. We are using 12c. On the Windows side of things, we are using Win7 and we have hidden the drives we don't want the user to see using GPO but obviously Jdev then shows these drives in its "Open Applications" Window and allows access. As far as the environmental variable is concerned this is something that I put in place.
Many thanks for your reply and the link to the tech doc.

Change SSIS variable with reference in C# ?

I access a read write variable with C# in script task. Its Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value = "onFire";
Is there any way I could refer to a SSIS variable without using this big name ? I was thinking of -
Object var = Dts.Variables["strRope"].REFERENCE_TO_VARIABLE;
Now, if I want to reassign strRope, I can simply say var = (String) "Ten thousand thundering typhoons".
Is there any way I can do such a thing ?
I tried this -
public void Main()
object var = Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value;
MessageBox.Show("original value = " + Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value.ToString());//original value = "Hello World"
//Try to change the value of Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value using var ???
var = (object)"Hello cruel world !";
MessageBox.Show("new value = " + Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value.ToString());//new value = ???
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;

You cant. you need to invoke it using Dts.Variables collection itself.
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs
I think it would be useful to have this feature. So one can create aliases for all the long SSIS variables in the beginning of the code itself. Otherwise, one has to put it all around.
I was trying this -
public void Main()
object var = Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value;
MessageBox.Show("original value = " + Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value.ToString());//original value = "Hello World"
//Try to change the value of Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value using var ???
var = (object)"Hello cruel world !";
MessageBox.Show("new value = " + Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value.ToString());//new value = ???

Howdoi set default mail program in windows 7

how do i set aol as y default mail in firfox windows 7?

Closing variable window restores IDE window

Hello,
in my opinion the following scenario could be improved:
During debugging of a program I open the variable window; after the program finishes, the IDE (integrated view) is the topmost window of my screen (secondary aspect: why? During debugging the variable window was on top of it...). I minimize the IDE with its _ panel button just to find out that the variable window though empty is still there (another secondary aspect: interestingly only the overall variable window, while the individual variable view has disappeared). So I close the variable window using its X panel button. Now, surprisingly, the minimized IDE shows up again and again has to be minimized. I feel that this should be fixed
Thanks.

This is akward, I either misunderstood or ir works for me.
As you are talking about Z plan, I assume you released the variable window. I also added the "Hide window while running option" and added a breakpoint in a callback. here is what happened on my computer:
* I compile and start the program, the IDE "disappears" and my topmost window is my GUI.
* I click the button related with the callback containing my breakpoint. The topmost window becomes the IDE
* I open the Variable window (Window -> Variables...). The topmost window becomes the Variable Window
* I run my program further using F5 or "Run -> Continue". The topmost window becomes my GUI and the Variable and IDE Windows becomes invisible.
* I quit my GUI (CALLBACK containing QuitUserInterface(0)). The GUI disappears, my topmost window is the ampty Variable Window and my second window is my IDE, as expected. This seem to behave correctly on my computer.
Now the second case where the variable windows is already open is slightly different: After the breakpoint, the IDE becomes the topmost windows (which is logical, this is where the breakpoint happen) and if i bring the variable windows to the foreground, after quitting the program, the empty window remains on the foreground.
Beside, I have an additional question: which advantage does the variable window brings as released window? It seem to me that it could be easier to have it confined in the IDE as the IDE will always be brought in the foreground when hitting a breakpoint.
Thanks for the infos

Precision of Variables Window

Hello,
I thought to remember that it is possible to set the number of digits that are displayed in the variable view. Right now, doubles show with five decimal places... where can I change this setting to show 'all' digits? Or has this feature gone with the new Variables Window in CVI2013?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

May be I wasn't clear enough...
Right now, there are three possibilities to see a variable value during debugging: as data tooltip or in variable view; the latter provides the option to display the value in floating point format or in scientific format. Floating point provides a precision of 5 digits, scientific format provides a precision of 6 digits, see the figures below.
Once in a while I need to see all digits - where can I set the precision of the displayed variables? I knew how to accomplish it prior to CVI2013...
Thanks.
In this test case, p has been defined as 0.31830988618379067153776752675.
