My task is to do all these steps programmatically:
Create a new transport request, I managed to do this with TR_INSERT_REQUEST_WITH_TASKS
Add package content to the newly created transport, this is the part I am stuck in.
Release the transport, I managed to do this with TR_RELEASE_REQUEST
My problem is that I can manually add the package to the transport request via transaction SE03 and then release it with FM TR_RELEASE_REQUEST, but that is not the goal, everything from step 1 to 3 has to happen in one program execution if anyone can guide me how to do step 2 it would be very helpful, thanks in advance.
In your program, you must :
First get the list of objects which belong to the package, via the table TADIR (object in columns PGMID, OBJECT, OBJ_NAME, and package in column DEVCLASS)
And add these objects to the task or transport request via the non-released function modules TRINT_APPEND_COMM or TR_APPEND_TO_COMM_OBJS_KEYS.
To add the whole project into request you must first select all the objects from package and add them one by one. You can do it like this:
DATA: l_trkorr TYPE trkorr,
l_package TYPE devclass VALUE 'ZPACKAGE'.
cl_pak_package_queries=>get_all_subpackages( EXPORTING im_package = l_package
IMPORTING et_subpackages = DATA(lt_descendant) ).
INSERT VALUE cl_pak_package_queries=>ty_subpackage_info( package = l_package ) INTO TABLE lt_descendant.
SELECT pgmid, object, obj_name FROM tadir
INTO TABLE #DATA(lt_segw_objects)
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN #lt_descendant
WHERE devclass = #lt_descendant-package.
DATA(instance) = cl_adt_cts_management=>create_instance( ).
LOOP AT lt_segw_objects ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<fs_obj>).
TRY.
instance->insert_objects_in_wb_request( EXPORTING pgmid = <fs_obj>-pgmid
object = <fs_obj>-object
obj_name = CONV trobj_name( <fs_obj>-obj_name )
IMPORTING result = DATA(result)
request = DATA(request)
CHANGING trkorr = l_trkorr ).
CATCH cx_adt_cts_insert_error.
ENDTRY.
ENDLOOP.
Note, that you cannot add objects that are already locked in another request, it will give you cx_adt_cts_insert_error exception. There is no way to unlock objects programmatically, only via SE03 tool.
You can check code behind, Write Transport Entry in SE80 right click on package menu.

I am getting the following error when I try and run my package. I am new to ssis. Any suggestions. Tahnks

VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA shows up when the underlying data behind one of the tasks changes. The fastest solution will probably be to just delete and re-create each element which is throwing an error.
How about disabling validation checks?
Like if you right click on source or destination component and select properties then you will have the property named validateExternalMetadata put that as false and try.
This Solution is working for me.
This normally occurs if there has been a change to your schema, not to stress, just double click on your input and output and it should resolve itself
Make sure your connection is valid. If you are using dynamic connections, then try to set the option "delay validation" = true on the package or dataflow.
In my case destination table structure was not matching with matadata in OLEDB component. I added the missing column which i forgot to add and after that it was fixed.
After researching a bit (check to extract your own conclusions: this and this one), I think I've found a nice workaround for when the problem with the metadata comes from a Ole DB object, but only for a very specific case.
The thing is that when you change your columns names / remove columns / add columns, you can't do anything but update the metadata.
However, if you use a SQL query to retrieve the data from the object, in the case that you don't need to update the query itself, you won't need to update the metadata if the query still can ask for what it wants. Basically, if the query is still valid.
I've tried it within my own ETL, and changed an Ole DB object which was reading the data from an Excel file, targeting one sheet and then I had all the columns selected in the tab.
Changing it for an SQL query to retrieve the full sheet like:
SELECT * FROM ['Sheet_Name$']
Solved completely the case for me, even introducing files with different metadata in headers.
I am trying to replicate the tree style view in Source Safe into my application in vb.net... I have already added the COM objects and connected to Source Safe database successfully... What i need is the method to populate the tree view with Source Safe files.... The logic to populate it and other necessary info... Can anyone HELP me???
I have inserted the tree view in my form
I have added the COM object for source safe
I have connected to source safe 'srcsafe.ini' file for database connection
I know i can use recursive program to fetch all the files in source safe
The only problem is i don't know about source safe functions. I have tried the MSDN website and read about all the properties of source safe. But how i use them, need some example.
And about flags in source safe, what i need to do to those flags when i perform the source safe functions from my application .
And how can i make the user restrictions like in source safe to my application

Here is documentation on VSS Automation. I had another link but it appears to be broken now.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb509341(v=vs.80).aspx
To work with VSS you would first create an instance of the VSSDatabaseClass class and call its Open method:
Dim vssDatabase As String = "\\server\somepath\srcsafe.ini"
Dim ssdb As new VSSDatabaseClass()
ssdb.Open(vssDatabase, userName, password)
The two methods that you will use most often are get_VSSItem() and get_Items(). These will return a singile VSSItem (which is a file or project) or a collection of items. So to get the root project of the database, you would use code such as this:
Dim root As IVSSItem = ssdb.getVSSItem("$/", False)
The Type property of a VSSItem indicates if the item is a project or file. If it is a project, you can get its child items using get_Items:
If root.Type = 0 Then 'Type = 0 means it's a project
Dim items As IVSSItems = root.get_Items(False)
For Each item As IVSSItem In items
If item.Type = 0 Then
'item is a project
Else
'item is a file
End If
Next
End If
I hope this gets you started.
I have a WCF Data Service (OData) that serves as the data repository for a larger system. I'm trying to fire off specific methods based on operations on Entities in the repository.
Specifically, if someone changes a Message record, I want to hook into the pipeline. I'm using ChangeInterceptors for this.
They work for Add and Delete. However, nothing fires when an entity is updated. I am concerned that the DbContext can not resolve the fact that the entity has changed, since the request is stateless.
This does not trigger the handler:
var whatever = from m in Messages
where m.MessageKey == 3
select m;
whatever.First().UpdatedDate = DateTime.Now;
this.SaveChanges();
Has anyone else faced this problem?
So, I was trying to use AttachTo() to handle the fact that my record was detached. This flat out didn't work, and led to runtime exceptions like the following:
This operation requires the entity be of an Entity Type, and has at least one key
property.Parameter name: entity
At any rate, just use the update method and the change will be intercepted (and actually applied)
var whatever = (from m in Messages where m.MessageKey == 1
select m ).Single();
whatever.UpdatedDate = DateTime.Now;
this.UpdateObject(whatever);
this.SaveChanges();
I have about 85 SSIS packages that are using the same connection manager.
I understand that each package has its own connection manager.
I am trying to decide what would be the best configurations approach to simply set the connectionstring of the connection manager based on the server the packages are residing on.
I have visited all kinds of suggestions online, but cannot find anywhere the practice where I can simply copy the configuration from one package to the rest of the packages.
There are obviously many approaches such as XML file, SQL Server, Environment Variable, etc.
All the articles out there are pointing to use an Indirect method by using XML or SQL approach. Why would using an environment variable for just holding a connection string is such a bad approach?
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Why would using an environment variable for just holding a connection string is such a bad approach?
I find the environment variable or registry key configuration approach to be severely limited by the fact that it can only configure one item at a time. For a connection string, you'd need to define an environment variable for each catalog on a given server. Maybe it's only 2 or 3 and that's manageable. We had a good 30+ per database instance and we had multi-instanced machines so you can see how quickly this problem explodes into a maintenance nightmare. Contrast that with a table or xml based approach which can hold multiple configuration items for a given configuration key.
...best configurations approach to simply set the connectionstring of the connection manager based on the server the packages are residing on.
If you go this route, I'd propose creating a variable, ConnectionString and using it to configure the property. It's an extra step but again I find it's easier to debug a complex expression on a variable versus a complex expression on a property. With a variable, you can always pop a breakpoint on the package and look at the locals window to see the current value.
After creating a variable named ConnectionString, I right click on it, select Properties and set EvaluateAsExpression equal to True and the Expression property to something like "Data Source="+ #[System::MachineName] +"\\DEV2012;Initial Catalog=FOO;Provider=SQLNCLI11.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
When that is evaluated, it'd fill in the current machine's name (DEVSQLA) and I'd have a valid OLE DB connection string that connects to a named instance DEV2012.
Data Source=DEVSQLA\DEV2012;Initial Catalog=FOO;Provider=SQLNCLI11.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;
If you have more complex configuration needs than just the one variable, then I could see you using this to configure a connection manager to a sql table that holds the full repository of all the configuration keys and values.
...cannot find anywhere the practice where I can simply copy the configuration from one package to the rest of the packages
I'd go about modifying all 80something packages through a programmatic route. We received a passel of packages from a third party and they had not followed our procedures for configuration and logging. The code wasn't terribly hard and if you describe exactly the types of changes you'd make to solve your need, I'd be happy to toss some code onto this answer. It could be as simple as the following. After calling the function, it will modify a package by adding a sql server configuration on the SSISDB ole connection manager to a table called dbo.sysdtsconfig for a filter named Default.2008.Sales.
string currentPackage = #"C:\Src\Package1.dtsx"
public static void CleanUpPackages(string currentPackage)
{
p = new Package();
p.app.LoadPackage(currentPackage, null);
Configuration c = null;
// Apply configuration Default.2008.Sales
// ConfigurationString => "SSISDB";"[dbo].[sysdtsconfig]";"Default.2008.Sales"
// Name => MyConfiguration
c = p.Configurations.Add();
c.Name = "SalesConfiguration";
c.ConfigurationType = DTSConfigurationType.SqlServer;
c.ConfigurationString = #"""SSISDB"";""[dbo].[sysdtsconfig]"";""Default.2008.Sales""";
app.SaveToXml(sourcePackage, p, null);
}
Adding a variable in to the packages would not take much more code. Inside the cleanup proc, add code like this to add a new variable into your package that has an expression like the above.
string variableName = string.Empty;
bool readOnly = false;
string nameSpace = "User";
string variableValue = string.Empty;
string literalExpression = string.Empty;
variableName = "ConnectionString";
literalExpression = #"""Data Source=""+ #[System::MachineName] +""\\DEV2012;Initial Catalog=FOO;Provider=SQLNCLI11.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;""";
p.Variables.Add(variableName, readOnly, nameSpace, variableValue);
p.Variables[variableName].EvaluateAsExpression = true;
p.Variables[variableName].Expression = literalExpression;
Let me know if I missed anything or you'd like clarification on any points.
I have a Test Case called "testCaseOne"
It contains three Test Steps:
"AMFrequestOne"
"propertyTransfer"
"AMFrequestTwo"
"AMFrequestOne" creates a database object.
"propertyTransfer" sends the ResponseAsXml to a temporary property in "testCaseOne" called "tempProp".
I need to reference "tempProp" in a script inside of "AMFrequestTwo"
I've tried the following
def temp = testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue( "tempProp" )
but I get the error "No such property: testRunner for class: Script6" (number increments with tries)
Is this because in an AMF request "Script is invoked with log, context, parameters and amfHeaders variables" and testRunner is not recognized?
I know it seems odd, but is it possible to do this? I'm unable to use a specific xpath property transfer between the two AMF Requests as it's possible for the structure to change and I'm not always looking for the same node.
Used
def temp = context.testCase.getPropertyValue( "tempProp" )
instead of
def temp = testRunner.testCase.getPropertyValue( "tempProp" )
and this works fine.
