SSIS Data Flow task using SharePoint List Adapter Setting SiteUrl won't work with an expression

Hi,
I'm trying to populate the SiteUrl from a variable that has been set based on a query to a SQL table that has a URL field.  Here are the steps I've taken and the result.
Created a table with a url in it to reference a SharePoint Task List.
Created a Execute SQL Task to grab the url putting the result set in a variable called SharePointUrl
Created a For Each container and within the collection I use the SharePointUrl as the ADO object source variable and select rows in the first table.
Still in the For Each container within the Variable mappings I have another Package Variable called PassSiteUrl2 and I set that to Index 0 or the value of the result set.
I created a script task to then display the PassSiteUrl2 variable and it works great I see my url
This is where it starts to suck eggs!!!!
I insert a Data Flow Task into my foreach loop.
I Insert a SharePoint List Adapter into my Data Flow
Within my SharePoint List Adapter I set my list to be "Tasks", My list view to be "All Tasks" and then I set the url to be another SharePoint site that has a task list just so there is some default value to start with.
Now within my Data Flow I create an expression and set the [SharePoint List Source].[SiteUrl] equal to my variable @[User::PassSiteUrl2].
I save everything and run my SSIS package and it overlays the default [SharePoint List Source].[SiteUrl] with blanks in the SharePoint List Adapter then throws the error that its missing a url
So here is my question.  Why if my package variable displays fine in my Control Flow is it now not seen or seen as blanks in the Data Flow Expression.  Anyone have any ideas???
Thanks
Donald R. Landry

Thanks Arthur,
The scope of the variable is at a package level and when I check to see if it can be moved Package level is the highest level.  The evaluateasexpression property is set to True.  Any other ideas?
I also tried to do the following.  Take the variable that has the URL in it and just assign it to the description of the data flow task to see if it would show up there (the idea being the value of my @[User::PassSiteUrl] should just show in the
description field when the package is run. That also shows up blank. 
So i'm thinking its my expression.  All I do in the expression is set [SharePoint List Source].[SiteUrl] equal to @[User::PassSiteUrl] by dragging and dropping the variable into the expression box.  Maybe the expression should be something
else or is their a way to say  @[User::PassSiteUrl] = Dts.Variables("User::PassSiteUrl2").Value.ToString() 
In my script task I use Dts.Variables("User::PassSiteUrl2").Value.ToString() to display
the value in the message box and that works fine.

  • I want to use my Personal Laserwriter, but it won't work with my imac

    I have a personal laserwriter printer. It work great with my older mac - Performa 580CD. However when I tried setting it up with my imac - using a MacOS 9.X driver and usb-serial adaptor - it only works with OS 9.x softeware.
    So I have a laser printer that I cannot use. I'd like to get it up and running for my MacBoo Pro, too. Any advice?

    The personal LaserWriter NTR and the Personal LaserWriter 320 are Postscript level 2 printers that can run with the built-in Mac OS X Drivers.
    What is missing is a way to make the connection to recent machines that do not have a Printer/Modem/LocalTalk port. You can use the Mac's Ethernet port to carry AppleTalk packets (in addition to the standard TCP/IP packets) and use a converter to bridge from Ethernet to LocalTalk.
    Two converters are available on the used market: The Farallon EtherMac iPrint LT and the Asante Asantetalk. The Asante may also be available new, but at a cost near US$100 new, you could get a more capable used Ethernet-capable printer for the same money.
    If you have an older Mac that has a Printer/Modem/LocalTalk port and an Ethernet port and is still running OS 9 or earlier, you can download a package called LocalTalk Bridge to run in the background and do the conversion.
    The other Personal LaserWriters would require a bridge AND a third-party driver.

  • SQL Query using a Variable in Data Flow Task

    I have a Data Flow task that I created. THe source query is in this file "LPSreason.sql" and is stored in a shared drive such as
    \\servername\scripts\LPSreason.sql
    How can I use this .sql file as a SOURCE in my Data Flow task? I guess I can use SQL Command as Access Mode. But not sure how to do that?

    Hi Desigal59,
    You can use a Flat File Source adapter to get the query statement from the .sql file. When creating the Flat File Connection Manager, set the Row delimiter to a character that won’t be in the SQL statement such as “Vertical Bar {|}”. In this way, the Flat
    File Source outputs only one row with one column. If necessary, you can set the data type of the column from DT_STR to DT_TEXT so that the Flat File Source can handle SQL statement which has more than 8000 characters.
    After that, connect the Flat File Source to a Recordset Destination, so that we store the column to a SSIS object variable (supposing the variable name is varQuery).
    In the Control Flow, we can use one of the following two methods to pass the value of the Object type variable varQuery to a String type variable QueryStr which can be used in an OLE DB Source directly.
    Method 1: via Script Task
    Add a Script Task under the Data Flow Task and connect them.
    Add User::varQuery as ReadOnlyVariables, User::QueryStr as ReadWriteVariables
    Edit the script as follows:
    public void Main()
    // TODO: Add your code here
    System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter da = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter();
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    da.Fill(dt, Dts.Variables["User::varQuery"].Value);
    Dts.Variables["QueryStr2"].Value = dt.Rows[0].ItemArray[0];
    Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
    4. Add another Data Folw Task under the Script Task, and join them. In the Data Flow Task, add an OLE DB Source, set its Data access mode to “SQL command from variable”, and select the variable User::QueryStr.
    Method 2: via Foreach Loop Container
    Add a Foreach Loop Container under the Data Flow Task, and join them.
    Set the enumerator of the Foreach Loop Container to Foreach ADO Enumerator, and select the ADO object source variable as User::varQuery.
    In the Variable Mappings tab, map the collection value of the Script Task to User::QueryStr, and Index to 0.
    Inside the Foreach Loop Container, add a Data Flow Task like step 4 in method 1.

  • Does Apple list available printers that work with AirPort Express?

    Just bought an AirPort Express hoping that I could print wirelessly with my HP 1350 All-in-One, and it won't work. Found out after the fact that my printer doesn't support USB wireless printing.
    I'm looking for a basic color printer to work with AirPort Express for wireless printing by other family members, and I'll continue to use my HP 1350 with USB for scanning and OCR functions.
    Does Apple provide a list of recommended printers that will work with AirPort Express?
    Kevin

    No Apple doesn't any more.
    I have been maintaining a community created list.
    http://tech.ifelix.net/1013.html
    This is an unofficial list of USB printers which are are compatible with the AirPort Extreme Base Station and Airport Express. Printers in bold have been added to the original list that Apple provided.
    Printers in dark red are in fact the only printers I have personally tested.
    Please also note that due to changes in the firmware of both the Airport Extreme base station and the introduction of the Airport Express some printers which are in this list may no longer in fact be compatible.

  • How to use SSIS 2014 to read from Sharepoint List ?

    Hi there,
    I have designed a simple entry form for users using List in Sharepoint 2013.
    I need to use the information to merge into my datawarehouse.
    Question :
    1. How can I setup SSIS (SQL 2014) to get the source from List in Sharepoint?
    I have tried to download the script as suggested in codeplex but it seems not working with SQL 2014 as there is no SSIS toolbar displayed.
    Any help is much appreciated
    Thank you and Best Regards

    Hi SylviaO,
    The current
    SharePoint List Adapter that extracting and loading SharePoint Data in SQL Server Integration Services supports x86/x64 systems using SQL 2005 / SQL 2008 / SQL 2008 R2/ SQL 2012. It doesn’t support SQL 2014. Maybe we need wating the update.
    Besides, the
    OData Source component can also be used to read from SharePoint lists. So we can download and install the 64 bit ODataSourceForSQLServer2014-amd64.msi or 32 bit ODataSourceForSQLServer2014-x86.msi from the
    Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Feature Pack.
    The following blog about using the SSIS OData Source Connector to read data from SharePoint lists is for your reference:

  • Why does DB2 Data Flow Task query does not accept a date coming from a string or datetime variable in SSIS?

    I am trying to compare a DB2 date format to a date variable from SSIS. I have tried to set the variable as datetime and string. I have also casted the SQL date as date in the data flow task. I have tried a number of combinations of date formats, but no luck
    yet. Does anyone have any insights on how to set a date (without the time) variable and be able to use it in the data flow task SQL? It has to be an easy way to accomplish that. I get the following error below:
    An invalid datetime format was detected; that is, an invalid string representation or value was specified. SQLSTATE=22007".
    Thanks!

    Hi Marcel,
    Based on my research, in DB2, we use the following function to convert a string value to a date value:
    Date(To_Date(‘String’, ‘DD/MM/YYYY’))
    So, you can set the variable type to String in the package, and try the following query:
    ACCOUNT_DATE  BETWEEN  '11/30/2013' AND  Date(To_Date(?, ‘DD/MM/YYYY’))

  • How create animated power view reports using sharepoint list as a data source in sharepoint 2010?

    Hi All,
    I got a client requirement to create reports using SharePoint List as data source. The report should show reflection depends on values changed (I mean animation).
    I have heard about the power view/power pivot which does this kind of animations in reports.
    Can someone please guide me on creating reports which shows animations
    In power view/power pivot using SharePoint List as data source in SharePoint 2010.
    Thanks in advance.
    MercuryMan

    Hi MercuryMan,
    Yes, Power View, a feature of SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 or SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition, is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience.
    It provides multiple views featuring tiles, slicers, a chart filter, and a number of visualizations, including cards, small multiples, and a bubble chart. So, we can use Power View to do intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users such as data analysts, business
    decision makers, and information workers.
    Currently, Power View report only supports two types of data models: PowerPivot Worksheet, and data models based on Analysis Services Tabular Model or Multidimensional Cube.
    In your scenario, you can create PowerPivot worksheets using SharePoint List as data source, deploy the PowerPivot worksheet to a SharePoint Library or PowerPivot Gallery, and then generate Power View reports based on the PowerPivot worksheets on the SharePoint
    site.
    To use SharePoint List as data source in Excel PowerPivot, you can refer to the following resource:

  • SQL 2005 SP2 - Cannot open Data Flow Task in SSIS

    I have just installed Service Pack 2 on my SQL 2005 Standard Edition.
    However, now all my SSIS packages will not allow me to open my Data FLow Tasks.  I get the following error:
    TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
    Cannot show the editor for this task.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    The task returned an unsupported control editor type. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Design)
    If I try to create a new Data Flow task I get:

    Failed to create the task.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    The designer could not be initialized. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Design)
    I have tried to install the latest hotfixes after this but they had no effect.
    Can anybody help me???? Please?

    I have had this same issue, where tasks would open fine in an SSIS package until SP2 was installed and then I get the same issue as noted above, i.e. :
    TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
    Cannot show the editor for this task.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    The designer could not be initialized. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Design)
    If anyone has some ideas on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why do we want use 'Data Flow Task' to 'Data Flow Tast' in Control Flow?

    I found an example in my company's SSIS package folders. In Control Flow, it has one data flow connected to the other. Both of them are importing data from flat file and then exported to database. I think these two are kind of at the same level and cannot
    see any reasons to conncect them together.
    Thanks & Happy Thxgiving,
    Gavin 

    Hi Gavin,
    Just as Arthur said, if there is no relationship between those two data flow tasks, we don’t have to connect them together. If they connect together, maybe there are some relationship between them.
    According to your description, both of the data flow tasks are importing data from flat file and then exported to database. It seems that there is no direct relationship between them. Another possibility is that there is a precedence constraint between them.
    The precedence constraint can be based on a combination of the first execution results and the evaluation of expressions. We can check the issue by double-check the connection string between them.
    The following screenshot is for your reference:

  • Dynamically pick the table names in data flow task SSIS

    Hi All,
    I want to create a SSIS package which loads the data to a table on the other server every day. I have around 250 tables to load everyday and source and destination table names are available in a metadata table, table names have to read from the metadata
    table and data should be loaded. Is there a way that we can configure the source and destination table names dynamically in Data flow task?
    I am newbie to SSIS can any help with the solution for this problem.

    You can do that, not a big deal. The underlying problem is say suppose you constructed a ETL based on some x source and y destination and have put x(3 columns) as source and y destination(3 columns).. As you said if we have choice of dynamically pick the
    table names.. ETL might fail when you face below situation
    source x(3 columns)   destination y (4 columns) and there will be no mapping as it is dynamic. Sometimes mapping also fails even if the source and destination have same number of columns. If you still want to do... follow below steps:
    Create two variables:
    1.variable1 , datatype string
    2.variable datatype string  
    take one execute sql task, pick your source table names dynamically as you desired from metadata table \
    "SELECT sourcetblname as Res FROM @metadata WHERE ID=1" in sql statement and then go to name the result name as Res (I meant same as table alias) and map it to variablename1
    And in variable2 go to expression and write "Select * from "+@[User::variable].. and this will be your constructed dynamic command for oledb destination.
    And connect that execute sql task to (Data flow task)oledb source and choose data access mode as sql command with variable,and choose variable2. below is the diagram.

    try the following steps:
    Make sure the SharePointListAdapters.dll exists in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\PipelineComponents folder.
    Make sure it is installed to GAC successfully, the SharePointListAdapters.dll should exist in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\SharePointListAdapters\v4.0_1.2012.0.0__f4b3011e1ece9d47 folder.

  • Excel Spreadsheet as Data Source & Copying that Data to an Existing SharePoint List

    Tools at my disposal include: SharePoint 2010 Designer, InfoPath, and Access.
    I thought there might be a REST method I could use via InfoPath but I'm not aware of any offhand.
    Goal is to have a method to upload/overwrite an Excel file (stored in a SharePoint library), every day, and then automate the process of copy it to a SharePoint list (actually overwriting the old data in the SharePoint list).

  • Error on Data Flow Task MSSQL 2012 Clustered "Description: The version of Lookup is not compatible with this version of the DataFlow. "

    We have an SSIS package that runs on clustered MSSQL 2012 Enterprise Nodes that is failing.  We use a job to executer the package.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi DeveloperMax,
    According to your description, the error occurs when you execute the package with Agent job on clustered MSSQL 2012 Enterprise Nodes.
    As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by you use SQL Server Agent to schedule a SQL Server Integration Services package in a 64-bit environment. And the SSIS package is referencing some 32-Bit DLL or 32-Bit drivers which are available
    only in 32-bit versions, so the job failed.
    To fix this issue, we should use the 32-bit version of the DTExec.exe utility to schedule the 64-bit SQL Server Agent to run a package. To run a package in 32-bit mode from a 64-bit version of SQL Server Agent, we can go to the Job Step dialog box, then
    select “32 bit runtime” in the Advanced tab.
    Besides, we should make sure that SQL Server Integration Services is installed on the failing environment.
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
