DTS reports success but missing a record
Posted by donsql22222 at 10/27/2006 10:57:01 AM

Posted by rmcompute at 10/26/2006 4:33:01 PM
In order to test the data from the source file, I changed the DTS load job to use an ActiveX script instead of just a copy.

Posted by John F. at 10/26/2006 1:18:02 PM
Hi - I think that we may have an issue with our isolation level or transaction commits in our main load package. Basically we get zipped flat file extracts for 94 districts, then we enter a container that bulkloads about 300 tables for each district received, loops back and then after all d...more >>

Passing Parameters to an Execute SQL Task in SSIS
Posted by michael at 10/25/2006 1:31:03 PM
I just can't seem to pass a parameter (or get one returned) from an Execute SQL Task object (using an OLE DB connection).

I have an SA credentialed connection for both the source and destination server. Both servers are SQL Server 2000 standard. The job fails with an "unspecified error" which obviously is little help.
