script-task

SSIS script task reading only numeric values of excel but fails to read the alphanumeric values present in the same column I've tried using IMEX=0, IMEX=1 and IMEX=2. But the Alphanumeric values are being generated as NULL in my SQL server table. //Excel Connection String string ConStr; ConStr = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + fileFullPath + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=" + HDR + ";IMEX=0\""; If the 1st 8 column 'A' values are integer (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) and then comes alphanumeric (A,B,ABQX345) values in below rows, then it should read all the values as it is and

Inside of a Script Task in SSIS, I need to make a call to an SQL database. I have a connection string that was created when I added the database to the data sources folder, however now I'm not sure how to reference it inside the C# code. I know how to do this in the code behind of an ASP website, however it seems that SSIS should have a more direct method. EDIT This line of code actually winds up throwing an exception: sqlConn = (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection)cm.AcquireConnection(Dts.Transaction); It reads: "Unable to cast COM object of type 'System._ComObject' to class type 'System.Data

Is it possible to format a column in an excel destination in ssis before generating it? I'm thinking a script task? I want to format a column to be date/time format within the excel spreadsheet You can use Microsoft.Interop.Excel library and use NumberFormat property to change EntireColumn format to datetime. Note: you have to add Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll file to the following directories (.Net Framework dll directory) C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 and (sql server data tools dll directory) C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn (if using vs 2005 and sql

I have a SSIS package with a script task, I get the following error when i try to run it in my local system. It works fine for my collegues as well as in production. However, I am not able to run it locally, to test. I keep a debug point in the main method, but it is never reached, I get the error before it goes to main method. I am using VS 2010, .Net framework 4.5. The script task does compile. I get the following messages SSIS package "..\Test.dtsx" starting. Error: 0x1 at Test: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Task failed: Test SSIS package "..\Test.dtsx" finished:

How do you access a RecordSet variable inside a Script Task? On the script tab, make sure you put the variable in either the readonlyvariables or readwritevariables text boxes. Here is a simple script that I use to format the errors in a data flow (saved in a RecordSet Variable) into the body of an email. Basically I read the recordset varialbe into a datatable and process it row by row with the for loops. After this task completes I examine the value of uvErrorEmailNeeded to determine if there is anything to email using a conditional process flow connector. You will also need to add a

I built a package in SSIS that uses a script task to open an Excel file, format, and refresh some data in Excel. I would like to have Excel visible when the script task is running to see if Excel gets hung up which occurs all the time. Is this possible? I am converting a process that is calling Excel via a shell script to using SSIS to call Excel instead. I guess a second question is, is that a bad idea? billinkc Why this is a bad idea Generally speaking, administrators are tasked with maximizing the amount of "uptime" a server or service on the server has.
