SSI...

Tech support at my host says that you just have to include
files based on their relative path to the running page and that the
page must be labeled .shtml. I have created the include file and
placed it on the page, it is at "/includes/header.htm" and have
named the homepage file index.shtml
The SSI was not working so I called them to see why and they
said that they do not support use of #exec in files for security
reasons.
I added the include through dreamweaver by selecting
Insert>Server Side Include and choosing my header file.
The code it added is below... obviously this won't work on
their server.
Does anyone know how I can include this file without using a
#exec command? I am on a Linux server if it makes a difference...

You have used an HTML include. Your code should work.
What is the link to the file?

How can I load a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

I know I've REALLY struggled with this before. I just don't understand why this has to be soooooo difficult.
I can very easily do a straight Data Pump of a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a normal Excel Connection and a normal Excel Source...simply converting Unicode to DT_STR and then using an OLE DB Destination of the SQL Server Table.
If I want to make the SSIS Package a little more flexible by allowing multiple .xlsX spreadsheets to be pumped in by using a Foreach Loop Container, the whole SSIS Package seems to go to hell in a hand basket. I simply do the following...
Put the Data Flow Task within the Foreach Loop Container
Add the Variable Mapping Variable User::FilePath that I defined as a Variable and a string within the FOreach Loop Container
I change the Excel Connection and its Expression to be ExcelFilePath ==> @[User::FilePath]
I then try and change the Excel Source and its Data Access Mode to Table Name or view name variable and provide the Variable Name User::FilePath
And that's when I run into trouble...
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occured. Error code: 0x80004005.
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]: Opening a rowset for "...(the EXACT Path and .xlsx File Name)...". Check that the object exists in the database. (And I know it's there!!!)
I don't understand by adding a Foreach Loop Container to try and make this as efficient as possible has caused such an error unless I'm overlooking something. I have even tried delaying my validations and that doesn't seem to help.
I have looked hard in Google and even YouTube to try and find a solution for this but for the life of me I cannot seem to find anything on pumping a .xlsX file into SQL Server using a Foreach Loop Container.
Can ANYONE please help me out here? I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work. I think the last time I was in this quandry, trying to pump a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS, I actually wrote a C# Script
to write the contents of the .xlsX File into a .csv File and then Actually used the .csv File to pump the data into a SQL Server Table.
Thanks for your review and am hoping and praying for a reply and solution.

Hi ITBobbyP,
If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
Schema: Tables.
In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.
If you want to load data from multiple sheets in multiple .xlsx files into a SQL Server table, please refer to following thread:

Error While executing a SSIS package which contains a script task through SQL Server Agent job

Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2012 SSIS package with a script task along with other tasks [data flow, execute sql tasks ]. When I manually executed the job through BIDS, its completed successfully.
Then I have automated the execution of the package through SQL Server Agent Job. But when I executed the package through SQL Agent job, it runs successfully for all the tasks except script task. When it comes to execute the Script Task, it is getting failed
with the below error message.
"Error: 2012-08-29 12:45:14.67

I have installed the SSIS on the 64-bit environment and SSIS service is running. Also I tried to run the job through 32 bit [job option] but I am getting the above error in all cases.
Any help will be greatly appreaciated !

Hi Arthur,
My script task access the excel files in a network share, refresh them all and save them. When I execute the ETL manually or thru DTEXEC, it is executing successfully. I am facing the issue when I am executing thru SQL Agent Job only. Logging also showing
the same error.

Excel Connection Manager suddenly can no longer connect to Excel from SSIS package

During the last 3 months, I used 32 bit SSIS 2008 (v 10.50.2500.0) on an WinXp machine (v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) to create a package that writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. Each report is written to a different
tabbed sheet in the same spreadsheet. The package was working just fine until May 9 2013, when suddenly every single Data Flow task with an Excel Destination displayed error icons and raised the following
error message when opening the Advanced Editor:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". Error at <DataFlow task name>: SSIS
error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager <Excel connection Manager> failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more
information on why the Acquire Connection method call failed. Exception from HRESULT: 0Xc020801c (Microsoft.SQlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)Originally the error message reported that the Error Code was "0x8000FFFF", but I can't seem
to reproduce that error code since. Now I am only getting the above error message.From the time I created the original package (when it worked fine) until now, I have been using the same computer, writing to a (32 bit) 2010 Excel file in
a local folder. The filename and location have not changed. The ConnectionString has not changed. The Connnection String I am using is Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Conversion\Conversion Results_dt01.xlsx;Extended Properties="EXCEL
12.0 XML;HDR=YES;". Now an attempt to create and test a NEW Connection Manager yields me this error. "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unspecified error.",  whereas before I had
no problems creating a new connection manager.I checked a second SSIS package, which I also built during the past 3 months, which loads multiple sheets from multiple Excel files to a SQL Server 2008 database holding table. It uses the same
ACE OLE DB 12.0 connection to load the Excel speadsheets and this package continues to work fine on the same workstation.In desparation, wondering if the Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 driver had become corrupt (even though the second package
was raising no errors), I did download and install the Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 driver.  That did not solve my problems with the first package.I need to get this package running again ASAP as it is targeted for UAT testing in a
matter of days. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!

I submitted this issue above and now I am having the same problem again. I am using the same local computer, the same operating system (WinXp v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) as originally described. I am working with the same SSIS package that
writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. This package has been successfully executed multiple times, but now I am suddenly getting the same error as follows:
Error at 1ConversionContacts [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Access Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error".

call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
The package will not run because of these multiple errors (multiple because it occurs on every single excel destination in the package).
I have Run64BitRuntime set to false on the project. I have triple checked that the excel file name (which I created and can access) exists with the correct name in the correct path, which is local on my machine. The file is the same file in the same
location as when the package worked. I am running the SSIS service under my own network login, as I was when the package worked. I have been consistently getting this same error whenever I change my network password without updating the password
in the SSIS service, but I have triple verified that the service is using my latest password. If I try to open and edit the Excel Destination in any DataFlow task I get the same error. I can successfully create a new Excel Connection Manager pointing
to the same excel file. However if I try to assign the newly created Excel Connection Manager in the data flow, I cannot activate the drop down to choose the Excel sheet without getting an 'Unspecified error' message. I then swapped out
the file with its template version, and ensured the name was updated as correct. I still get the same errors.
Oh, and the SSIS package is extracting data from a SQL Server 2008 database with an ADO.net Connection Manager using Windows authentication. I have no problems with the SQL Server connection, it has always worked and still does. It is only
the connection to excel output file which is locally stored on my machine.
Has anyone got any suggestions for me?

Issue with creation of SSIS package - reading from XML

Good Morning,
having a slight difficulty here and more than this, am afraid solution is pretty straight forward. I am trying to read an XML-file and save the rows to a CSV file (late ron it should be sent to SQL-database).
Am having this input XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<DataSet>
<xs:schema id="NewDataSet" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
<xs:element name="NewDataSet" msdata:IsDataSet="true" msdata:UseCurrentLocale="true">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="ROW">

<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="COLUMN" type="xs:short" minOccurs="0" />

</ROW>
<ROW diffgr:id="ROW2" msdata:rowOrder="1">
<COLUMN>2</COLUMN>
</ROW>
</NewDataSet>
</diffgr:diffgram>
</DataSet>
but when running the SSIS-package, I get this
no errors are shown, but also no rows are written/processed.
Why is nothing read here?

by the way, when I split the schema and the XML data, having those 2 files
data.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<NewDataSet>
<ROW >
<COLUMN>1</COLUMN>
</ROW>
<ROW >
<COLUMN>2</COLUMN>
</ROW>
</NewDataSet>
schema.xsd
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
<xs:element name="NewDataSet">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="ROW">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>

</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

then result is fine

Can not find the SSIS in the msdb

Hi Everyone,
I'm using a SQL Server 2k5, and recently i was stuck with a SSIS issue. I have one job which needs to be changed. The job property is as below
As we can see, the instance name is "DE-S-0157580\DE_S_0157580". Then I connect to the Integration Service as below:
The interesting thing is even if I expand every single folder but I can find nothing at all.
Can somebody give me some advice? Thank you very much for your time and efforts.
regards,
Oliver

Hi Vaibhav,
Thanks for your reply. Under Maintenance plan folder, there is a database which actually contains nothing also. I executed the scripts you provided. I can definitely find the package that I need as well as many other packages in the result. But why I'm not
able to see them in integration service.
regards,
Oliver

Why is the LookUp object in the Flow Task of my SSIS package going red (and not working) ? Sql Server 2008 R2

I have been working with the Sql Server 2008 R2 SSIS Tutorial at
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms170419(v=sql.105).aspx
--specifically -- Lesson 1. I have been having some problems with this lesson where the source data from the samples download doesn’t exactly match the data described in the tutorial, and the tables in the tutorial are different from what
is contained in AdventureWorksDW (tutorial refers to DimTime – AdventureWorksDW contains DimDate and no DimTime).
So, after futzing in BI with this tutorial so that I can at least get it to run in Debug – it errors out on the 2nd LookUp object.
Rather than looking for a fix to the problem(s) that I am having between the tutorial and the stuff I downloaded in the samples --
I want “Adapt” the tutorial so I can use the stuff I downloaded and hopefully learn how to use SSIS with the elements (source data and tables) that are present on my workstation.
Here is a description of what is going on for me – which I really don’t understand what is going on in BI – based on the images below – like what columns (from what tables) are they associating to in the OleDB Destination?
Note: the sql in the LookUps here is the sql that I copied from the tutorial.
I probably need to modify these sql statements – so -- the help I am requesting is to make the required modifications/changes
so that I can adapt this tutorial with the stuff that’s on my workstation.
I downloaded the samples and the AdventureWorksDW mdf for Sql Server 2008 R2.
It turns out that in the tutorial it wants me to select a DimTime table, but the version of the AdventureWorksDW db does not contain a DimTime table.
Instead, it contains a DimDate table. So I tried adapting DimDate for the tutorial.
Additionally, the sample data file -- SampleCurrencyData.txt -- has slightly different data types than the types described in the tutorial, so I selected data types for the columns in the datasource text file that would work in BI would to
connect column from source data file to the table.
After finishing all the steps for Lesson 1 -- when I tried debugging the package – and it error'd out on the 2nd Lookup object whichwent red.
 I edited the lookups and the sample Ole DB Destination to "ignore on fail” and I did all
green but the FactCurrencyRate table is not being populated -- as described in the tutorial, so I reset the on error back to default (Fail on error option). And based on this tutorial -- I believe FactCurrencyRate
table is the table which is supposed to be populated with the data from SampleCurrencyData.txt?
In the sample data file that downloaded with all the samples I removed all the data from the text file except for 6 rows, so instead of the original 1100 or so rows, I have only 6 rows of data in the source data file (just to keep things
simple for debugging for now). I did not modify the data itself.
Here is what the (raw) data contained in SampleCurrencyData.txt looks like (from the samples that I downloaded from codeplex) – it’s supposed to be 4 columns of data – float, nvarchar, datetime, float:
0.281690141 USD

Below are images of my BI Layout for Lesson 1 from this tutorial -- the FlatFile and configurations for On Fail Error, A Flow task, the 2 LookUps (CurrencyKey and DataKey), the OleDB Destination configuration, the Design view of the associated tables and
the Debug Run of Lesson 1, and the following error messages. My goal is to figure out what is going on in BI for this tutorial.
Error: 0xC020901E at Extract Sample Currency Data, Lookup Datakey [51]: Row yielded no match during lookup.

Thank you for your reply. I changed the error handling as you suggested on the 2nd lookup to redirect to unmatched rows. Now I get all greet. I don't have the conditional split as in your diagram. But also, nothing appears to have
happened in the DB. Aren't the rows in my text file supposed to be added to the FactCurrencyRate table?
How do I get a conditional split?
Rich P
OK, sorry I forgot to reply you back.
Conditional Split was just dummy task. Ignore it.
Manipulate the data in such way that you get matching records.
Inside Source, for first 2 rows I put the dates which are available in DimDate.
1.00010001,ARS,7/1/2005 0:00,0.99960016
1.00010001,ARS,2/5/2006 0:00,1.001001001
1.00020004,ARS,9/5/2001 0:00,0.99990001
1.00020004,ARS,9/6/2001 0:00,1.00040016
1.00050025,ARS,9/7/2001 0:00,0.99990001
1.00050025,ARS,9/8/2001 0:00,1.001001001
Then in OLE DB Destination, I loaded the rows to TestFactTable.
(Now, you don't even need NO MATCH OUTPUT as there are matching records here)

SSDT package errors when running from non SSIS server

I am trying to run a 2012 SSIS package on a server that doesn't have Integration services installed and I keep getting the following error:
"To run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must install SharePoint List Source 1 of Integration Services or higher."
It is on a cluster and I was under the understanding that I could run a package without having SSIS engine installed?
Thanks!

This is not true. Executing SSIS packages requires the SSIS installation. It is possible though to have a package executed on a remote host, and it will run within that machine memory space, again the target has to have the SSIS installed.
Besides, SSIS is not a clustered resource.

SSIS package issues when running as a regular user

Hello
I have one package which is getting data from MSSQL server and putting it to the excel (2007 format).
When started as an administrator from Visual studio, IS, command line or SQL Agent job it works just fine.
But when using regular user (SSIS proxy in SQL Agent job) it does not return any errors, but result Excel file is just empty. It puts only firs row with headers into it.
Only difference I've found when executing as admin and regular user is a warning in package execution detailed log:
OnWarning,SERVERNAME,USERNAME,PACKAGE_NAME,{GUID},{GUID},2014.03.21 15:23:22,2014.03.21 15:23:22,-2147183868,0x,Warning: Could not open global shared memory to communicate with performance DLL; data flow performance counters are not available. To resolve,
run this package as an administrator, or on the system's console.
If I add user to local administrators group it runs just fine.
Trying to search the web I've found that most causes of thet could be UAC enabled on the server. But it is not enabled.
SQLserver - Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.2383.0 (X64)
Windows Server 2008 R2
Thanks in advance,
Olegas

It could be also an issue with the access to the %temp% directory.
But I suggest again, you do not rely on turning the logging on that is built into DTEXEC, you need to provide this package right now with thorough logging to find the root cause of the issue. E.g. no access to a shared drive may an issue, too.

How to find a certain usage of a specific value inside an SSIS package

Hi,
In T-SQL, there are many tools to search for instances of a specific value in all the objects such as tables and SPs.
The only way I can think of in SSIS, is to search for a value in the XML of the DTSX, but it is not that user friendly.
Are there any existing tools or other ways for a value search that can assist ?
Thanks,
Dani

Since a package is just a plain text XML file thus you are able to perform a text search in the file.

SSIS Flat File Source not populating varchar column

I have SSIS package that imports flat files with column separator | from "Flat File Source" into the database trough "OLE DB Destination".
For one of the columns (file contains UIDs in curly brackets) destination column is varchar(250) null-able, when "Retain nulls" is set to true complete data have been imported, but when "Retain nulls" is set to false beside fact that in
the file data is not null and it is not empty string it is not imported and in the destination column is empty string.
I know that this "Retain nulls" applies to the columns that contains NULLs but this is not the case.
If someone have experience with such issue please help.
Thank you in advance.

From your statement it looks like when you have curly brackets it skips the value and inserts nulls instead. And that may be the reason why its working fine when you change retain null value.
I would suggest
Make your setting "retain null" to true and load the flat file, then check what happens to the values having curly braces (is there any value or null) , if there is value we need to check for that(please share a sample file). And if it having null
instead of "{value}", I would suggest to put a script task to remove { from your flat file and then try load the data.
Hope this helps.

Design Problem When SSIS Get String From Web to Do Fuzzy Lookup

Hi!
In my previous post Search Data by Fuzzy Lookup in Real Time
Scenario, I've tested required functions to build a sample website and SSIS, now it's time to polish my design. Since user will query a name from Web, SSIS is supposed to get a string to do
Fuzzy Lookup. I wonder how I can design to let fuzzy lookup consume String as input instead of a structure (like OLE DB, EXCEL, Flat File, etc ) .
Now I use table as datasource to do a fake input. The SQL_CMD variable will dynamically be replaced from Web input. It seems Fuzzy Lookup component needs a structure to be an input.
Do you have any design idea for my scenario ? Thank you!

How are you executing the fuzzy lookup package ? Is it using command line or using asp.net code ?
In SSIS package we can create variables and assign any strings to these variables while running the ssis package in asp.net.

New@SSIS - Excel Src: The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data

Good day,
I am currently working on a SSIS package that had been built by a previous user. That Package allows me to import data from an excel source to a SQL table. The excel sheet holds multiple columns, However I am having difficulty with one
column when running the package.
The column rows hold a character and an integer (eg: N2). The data types are as follows:
SQL – varchar(3),NULL
SSIS - double-precision float [DT_R8]
I then inserted a data conversion task to change the data type. The task holds the following properties:
Input column – F6
Output Alias – Copy of F6
Data Type – string[DT_STR]
Length – 50
When I execute the package I receive the following error:”
[Excel Source Data [76]] Error: There was an error with output column "F6" (91) on output "Excel Source Output" (85). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because
of a potential loss of data.".
I do know that usually the message "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data." refers to a data type or length problem.
Further insight to this problem will be much appreciated.

Hi Zahid01,
From the error message you post, we can infer the issue is caused by the input column “F6” cannot convert to the output column in Excel Source.
Based on my test, I can reproduce the issue in my environment. The exactly cause is the data type of input column “F6” cannot convert to the data type of corresponding output column. For example, the data type of input column “F6” is [DT_STR], the data type
of corresponding output column is [DT_I4], and there are some nonnumeric values in the input column “F6”. When we execute the task, the error occurs. We can verify the issue in the Advanced Editor dialog box of Excel Source. The following screenshot is for
your reference:
To avoid this issue, please make sure the input column can convert to the output column in Excel Source, including all the values in the input column.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

managing database backups across all the instances without maintenance plan
Samuel Lester: "Chandra, outstanding contribution and information! Your SSIS package handles many of the shortcomings of Maintenance Plans. MPs were originally created to assist DBAs with the more common administrative
tasks, but as the scale continues to grow across enterprise environments, we're all forced to write our own enhanced versions such as this. Thanks for the addition and please do add to the Gallery if you haven't yet."
Jinchun Chen: "Nice. It is suggested to add error outputs in the package to handler unexpected errors."
NN: "Good article. The SSIS solution can use a bit more explanation. Also See Also section is missing"
DRC: "This is good article, The only this which can be corrected is : ==> This can be achieved using “maintenance Cleanup Task • Maintenance Plan has a control flow item “maintenance Cleanup Task” to delete the old backup files based
on age of the backup, but it creates the problem when it deletes the full database backups based on n no.of days leaving all the dependent intermediate differential and transaction logs which are useless. "

way, although the code is simple enough to work through."

SSIS Integration With Sharepoint 2013

Hello People,
I'am trying to import data from SharePoint 2013 to SQL Server. For that I install a codeplex package to install some SharePoints features to have access to Data Flows from SharePoint:
I already create the connections and insert the URL from my SharePoint. But When a click 'Ok' I'm having the follwing error:
Error at Data Flow Task [GSD Iberia Foundation Support [1]]: System.ServiceModel.ProtocolException: The content type text/html; charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom

Thanks you!!!

Hi SaQvL,
Based on my test, we can use SSIS SharePoint List Adapters for SharePoint 2013.
The following steps test in my environment are for your references:
Download and Install SharePointListAdaptersSetup.msi or SharePointListAdaptersSetup_x86.msi.
Right-click the SSIS Toolbox pane to Refresh Toolbox, then we can see SharePoint List Source and SharePoint List Destination under Common group.
Create a SharePoint connection as SharePoint Credential in the package.
Double-click SharePoint List Source or SharePoint List Destination to open the dialog box.
Select the SharePoint Credential as Connection Manager in the Connection Managers pane.
In the Component Properties pane, paste the URL for the SharePoint site into the SiteUrl (exclude anything from the word Lists onward in the URL)
Example: if your SharePoint site URL for Lists is
http://sp2k13/sites/report/Lists/11/AllItems.aspx
then type http://sp2k13/sites/report as SiteUrl, type 11
as SiteListName, type All Items as SiteListViewName.
Finishing the mapping in the Column Mappings pane.
The following screenshot is for your reference:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

How do I create an Event Handler for an Execute SQL Task in SSIS if its result set is empty

So the precedence on my entire package executing is based on my first SELECT of my Table and an updatable column. If that SELECT results in an empty result set, how do I create an Event Handler to handle an empty result set?
A Newbie to SSIS.
I appreciate your review and am hopeful for a reply.
PSULionRP

Depends upon what you want to do in the eventhandler. this is what you can do
Store the result set from the Select to a user variable.
Pass this user variable to a Script task.
In the Script task do whatever you want to do including failing the package this can be done by failing the script task, which in turns fails the package. something like
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure
