SSIS 2005

  • Hi All,

    We are running SQL 2005 SP3 (DEV) and SQL 2005 SP2 (UAT & PROD) and I'm in the process of developing a SSIS component to popualte the destination from the source using dynamic SQL. I've run into an interesting issue where I'm unable to declare a MainPipe variable in the script, all the references and imports look correct; however even implementing examples for here (they have been a god send in solving issues) I still encounter the MainPipe issue.

    This is causing delays and I'm not to big a fan of having to create 80 odd data flow tasks when all the examples show me I can drive the data flow task dynamically.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Please post the code fragment which is causing the error and the text of the error message.

  • Here is the code, everything in it works except the declaration of the MainPipe variable.

    Imports System

    Imports System.Data

    Imports System.Math

    Imports System.Data.SqlClient

    Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime

    Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline

    Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper

    Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper

    Public Class ScriptMain

    Public Sub Main()

    Dim DataFlowTaskHost As TaskHost

    Dim SourceConnection As ConnectionManager = Nothing

    Dim DestinationConnection As ConnectionManager = Nothing

    Dim SQLApp As New Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application

    Dim BaseTransferPackage As Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Package

    Dim SourceSQL As String = CStr(Dts.Variables("User::SourceSQL").Value)

    Dim BasePackagePath As String = CStr(Dts.Variables("User::PackagePath").Value)

    Dim DestinationTable As String = CStr(Dts.Variables("User::DestinationTable").Value)

    When the following is enable the first 2 lines are fine; it's the MainPipe regardless of how the variable is declared and assigned.

    ' Dim p As Package = New Package()

    ' Dim e As Executable = p.Executables.Add("DTS.Pipeline.1")

    On enabled the following line, it shows with the squiggly underline.

    ' Dim thMainPipe As TaskHost = e as MainPipe

    ' Dim dataFlowTask As MainPipe = thMainPipe.InnerObject as MainPipe

    Try

    BaseTransferPackage = SQLApp.LoadPackage(BasePackagePath, Nothing)

    SourceConnection = BaseTransferPackage.Connections.Item("SCR - OOHS_MDS")

    DestinationConnection = BaseTransferPackage.Connections.Item("DST - dgps01")

    DataFlowTaskHost = CType(BaseTransferPackage.Executables.Item(0), TaskHost)

    Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success

    'Dts.TaskResult = BaseTransferPackage.Execute()

    Catch ex As Exception

    Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure

    End Try

    'DataFlowTaskHost = CType(BaseTransferPackage.Executables(), TaskHost)

    '

    ' MsgBox("Source: " + SourceSQL)

    ' MsgBox("Destination: " + DestinationTable)

    ' MsgBox(BasePackagePath)

    BaseTransferPackage.Dispose()

    End Sub

    End Class

    Any idea why I can't declare a MainPipe variable.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Under the squiggly line it will usually tell you what it can't set the variable. What does it say?

  • Error message is: Type 'MainPipe' is not defined.

    I've looked in the project references to try and add; and I can't find the Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap.dll, let alone any Microsoft.SqlServer.????? references.
