I have an SSIS package that includes a Process Task. The process task needs to execute batch file. The location of the batch file varies depending on the environment (dev, production). How do I dynamically set tghe value of the Executable property of the Process Task object to a user variable? I think that you need to create a variable that takes in the folder path and the executable file name to evaluate as an expression. You then need to assign this variable that evaluates as expression to the Executable property of the Execute Process Task . Also, you need to have a valid executable path

Using Visual Studio to build my SSIS packages. Project connections - they seem like a good idea so I'll do that instead of repeating my code.... Problem when you try to run the packages individually outside Visual Studio, say dtexec, they don't have any connection associated with them so they fail. Do I really have to duplicate package connections for all 20 packages? Is there not a way to share a connection? I want to be able to run each package separately/in groups as they will have a differing schedules. I'm a developer so Visual Studio is my default goto - would SQL Server provide a better

I am working on importing thousands of rows(120K) of data from an excel file into a SQL Server. Now I am trying to use SSIS to accomplish this but I immediately ran into some problem considering the excel template that the excel file is built with does not seem to contain the Header in just the first row(about the first 6 rows contain header information). How do I solve for this problem using the SSIS Data flow task in BIDS to handle the imports? Or would it be better to read the lines via direct read of each row from the Excel document? Other information that I think will be helpful here is a

I need a row value in my SSRS report that is a calculated one based on a couple of fields that are already being used in the report. I want it to display in the textbox named 'textboxPercentageValue'. In semi-plain English, the expression/formula is: If the value of the "Week" field is "WK1", display the value of the Variance field divided by the value of the Price field; otherwise, just display the value from the Variance field. In VB script gobbledygook, the expression/formula I've add to textboxPercentageValue's Value propert is: =IIF((Fields!Week.Value="WK1"), Fields!Variance.Value /

I have built a cube in Business Development Intelligent Studio(BIDS) using some database with the name 'Test_cube' which consists of Products dimension table, customers dimension table and orders fact table. The products table attributes :prodID-primary key,prodname,prodtype,prodcost The customers table attributes :custID-primary key,custname,custloc The orders table attributes :orderID,prodID,custID,quantity,unitprice,totalprice-calculated query column where primary key was set to orderID,prodID,custID But I got some errors while trying to deploy the cube like Internal error : The operation
