Hello Raja,

I cannot help you with your specific issue but I recomend that you do not use the DTS SSIS migration wizard. I have tried it several times but it ended with creating new SSIS packages from scratch...

Hi Raja,

Did you get it fixed ? I have the similar issue scratching my head arround for several hrs.

Hi Rahim,

I started new SSIS and copy and paste to create second SSIS. It is easy way to start than DTS to SSIS migration. I don't find any DTS to SSIS conversion with out error.

Regards,

Raja

we found that embedding legacy DTS packages in SSIS worked fine. Just create a new package and add an "Execute DTS 2000 Package Task". You can then load the old package in and embed it permenantly. We've had no problems running our old packages in this way Going forward we will rewrite as and when required.

Good luck.

Hi Jez,

Thanks a lot for your response. I did as you suggested and it worked.

Hi Raja,

Greetings!
Thank you for your response. Since we have many packages and some of them are big we couldn't copy and paste it.

Instead we created new SSIS package and then added the problem packages as DTS 2000 tasks.

Migrate SQL Server from 64Bit platform to 32Bit

Hi, All:

We have to migrate several 64Bit SQL Servers to 32Bit platform. Due to the 64Bit source systems are all production system, the downtime is too limited. So we can only get the DB files via Detach way. Among the source systems, both SQL2000 and SQL2005 exist.

My question are:

Is it possible to migrate the DB from 64Bit to 32Bit via Detach/Attach?

If ok, how to do that?

Any info will be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Best Regards,

Kevin

Hi Kevin.

The on-disk layout of database files is the same for 64bit and 32bit databases, there's no difference...you can freely attach/detach, backup/restore, etc. to/from 32bit/64bit systems and vice-versa at will with no issues. Of course, this assumes you are moving the between supported migration/compatibility instances...i.e. you couldn't move a Sql 2005 64bit database to a Sql 2000 32bit system...

Migrate AS2005 Cube to New Version of Source DB

Is it possible -- and how straightforward is it -- to migrate an existing AS2005 Cube (and/or at least it's dimensions) to an updated version of my source DB (SQL 2005)? I had little choice but to establish a "dev-and-test" version of the source DB during enhancements that coincided with production analysis and reporting. Now that I've approved the "dev-and-test" version, I want to make it our production master for OLAP.

As a note, I don't believe that any of the fields used in the cube have been modified. We've just added some new calculated fields (and sp's).

I have little idea of whether this will be simple, hard or impossible. I'm planning to try, but wanted expert feedback first.

There is a feature in BI Dev Studio specifically designed for the scenario you describe.

Open up your DSV and right click on the empty space anywhere. Select a "Refresh" option.

At this moment BI Dev Studio connects to the relational database and verifies if all the tables and all the coluns you build your Analysis Services objects upon are there. If it detects any changes in the relational database it will give you the list of the objects and will ask you if you would like that BI Dev studio will fix them for you automatically.
If the case is simple, just go ahead. If you see lots of changes, you save the list and try to takle every problem separately.

Hope that helps.

Edward Melomed.

Yes, the DSV refresh will help. However, just to clarify my situation...

I need to disconnect an existing cube away from it's source DB and connect it to a new database, (which is a modified, renamed copy of the original), not just refresh the DSV connection after some mods.

Two questions:

(1) In light of my situation,then prior to following your guidance above, would it work for me to (1st b/u everything, then) restore the new database into/overwriting the old database?

(2) Is there a better way involving DB file renaming, etc.? (Specifically, I'm looking for alternatives to re-building my cube and/or dimensions.)

I think I'm half way to resolving this problem. Thank you, Edward!

|||

Again, DSV refresh not only going to synchronize your DSV with relational database, it also checks and changes properties of attributes and measures. You should try it to see what it does for you and if it works.

Make a copy of your database and try your experiments on the copy.

You can also make backup of your database and then resore it with different name.

You can script your database Create script and modify the script to change the database name and ID.

You have quite a few options here. I suggest you just try and few and see what works.

Edward.

Thanks Edward. Your replies are illuminating and helpful.

In light of a new SSIS package connected to the new "dev-and-test" db, I'd like to inquire about simply changing the data source for an existing AS2005 cube, but will start a new thread on that subject.

LehrSJHello LehrSJ,
I understand that you found some SQL related events on a SQL 2005 SP1 64bit
server, and you'd like to know what this problem is.
Based on my experience, this issue could occur if the "Performance Logs and
Alerts" service runs as "Network Service", which is member of "Performance
Log Users" local user group, does not have enough permission to SQL setup
folder.
SQL Setup grants read/execute permissions to "Performance Log Users" local
user group for the DLL only. "Performance Log Users" doesn?t have any
permissions for the containing folder. Granting "List folder contents"
permission to "Performance Log Users" for the containing folder (SQL Server
binn directory) may fix this problem:
D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\mssql\bin
D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\OLAP\bin
If you have any update or the issue is not resolved, please feel free to
let's know. I look forward to your reply.

>|||I was having this problem as well on a 32 bit system and that fixed it.
Can you explain why that fixed it? I'm asking because I was also having
2 other problems that I think this fixed as well.
first one: There is a Java program that inserts updates and deletes
records in a very large table on the sql server. It spawns 12 processes
that each have a connection to the DB and every time this program ran,
2 of them would hang up and would not receive any errors. I looked and
they were no longer connected.
second one: The users of this server have pocket pcs that connect using
sql ce server with RDA. They use an app that we wrote to replicate
their data. Along with all the pushing and pulling of tables, there is
one stored procedure that the client runs on the server. Apparently
randomly this stored procedure stops working for about 30 minutes at a
time. What happens on the client is when it calls that sp, it just
hangs there maintaining it's connection until all the sudden the sp
start working again. During the 30 minutes nobody can run the sp.
Both of these problems did not exist before we got Error 59 or after it
was fixed.
Does anybody have any clue as to why this would fix these 2 problems or
has anybody experienced anything like this?
thanks,
cob

Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Edition data source

i just installed a copy of microsoft sql server 2005 in my pc and decided to follow the newbie's guide:

Hmm...it looks like SQL Mobile Developer tools were not installed. Server Tools are not needed for you, they are meant for synchronization of SQL Mobile database with SQL Server. If you dont have Developer Tools, try installing the SQL Mobile Developer tools from the following location of your VS 2005 Disk: wcu\SQLCE\sqlmobile30devtoolsxxx.msi

The xxx in the MSI name stand for the locale, for english it would be 'enu'.

Let me know installing that worked for you.

Hmm...it looks like SQL Mobile Developer tools were not installed. Server Tools are not needed for you, they are meant for synchronization of SQL Mobile database with SQL Server. If you dont have Developer Tools, try installing the SQL Mobile Developer tools from the following location of your VS 2005 Disk: wcu\SQLCE\sqlmobile30devtoolsxxx.msi

The xxx in the MSI name stand for the locale, for english it would be 'enu'.

Let me know installing that worked for you.

Thanks
