Have you looked at parent package configurations?

How to set sheetname on an Excel destination component ?

Hello, I am trying to create a simple package programmatically. I am following the examples in the BOL, and from some advice here. I am getting stuck at creating an Excel Destination and setting its sheetname. Everything works fine, including setting the output Excel filename. I get a runtime exception when I try to set the sheetname via SetComponentProperty. Is there another way, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any info you may have.

' Create and configure an OLE DB destination.

Dim conDest As ConnectionManager = package.Connections.Add("Excel")

conDest.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & _

Dts.Variables("User::gsExcelFile").Value.ToString & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"""

conDest.Name = "Excel File"

conDest.Description = "Excel File"

Dim destination As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New

destination.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.ExcelDestination"

' Create the design-time instance of the destination.

Dim destDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = destination.Instantiate

' The ProvideComponentProperties method creates a default input.

destDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()

destination.RuntimeConnectionCollection(0).ConnectionManager = DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(conDest)

destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("AccessMode", 0)

'runtime Exception here

destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("OpenRowSet", "functions")

Guess time!

If you post the error details, it normally helps. I'll guess at error HResult 0xC0204006, some notes - http://wiki.sqlis.com/default.aspx/SQLISWiki/0xC0204006.html

Properties are case sensitive, and it is called OpenRowset not OpenRowSet.

How did i do?

how to set connection string value by using SET switch of dtexec sql server 2005 command

hi

I need to load a text file into sql server table using SSIS package.

the idea is to load this file with the help of dtexec command by giving the file path and name in the SET switch of dtexec command.

anyone having an idea; would be of great help.

Regards,

Salman Shehbaz.

Try using the package configuration wizard to get the property path:

Jamie talks about it here:

here it is

execute master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /Ser "ServerName" /SQ "SSISPackagehName" /SET "\Package.Connections[ConnectionManagerName].Properties[ConnectionString]";"TextFilePath/Name"'

How to set Access Workgroup

My package is to copy data from an Access 97 db into a SQL2k5 table.

Problem is that the 'mdb' is subscribed to a 'mdw' workgroup and I have been unable to workout / read how to get the SSIS manager to join the workgroup. Connection fails because "...you don't have necessary permission..."

I was able to do this previously for SQL 2k by messing with the registry, but I'm now on unfamiliar teritory.

Any answers? Cheers.

Open the connection manager UI, and select the All button. Within there you get the Jet OLEDB:System Database propery, which you point at your MDW. You could also just change the connection string directly from the properties grid, or use an expression or configuration if the location can be derived or just change.

Connection works. Although I found that I had to specify the password in both the 1st dialogue and security:password item in the 'All' page.

I'm now getting a unicode conversion failure - I've seen other pastings about this so I'll follow those.

Many Thanks.
