Deserialization failed: File or assembly name Microsoft.ReportingServices.Interfaces not f

Hello,
I just installed Vault Source Control on my machine. I then opened a
Reporting Services project with rdl's in it. Every RDL that is currently in
source control opens with this error
"Deserialization failed: File or assembly name
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Interfaces, or one of its dependencies, was not
found."
If I open another instance of the MSIDE without Vault (locally) and open a
different RDL it works fine. Is this an issue with the source control or
with the way it opens the file?
Any help will be appreciated. Need to get this solved.
PonnuI think it has to do with the way the add-in is written. Some add-ins turn
on shadow-copy, which plays havoc with the report designer as our assemblies
aren't located in the VS shared location. You might be able to copy the
report designer assemlies into the IDE directory. Not sure if you can
configure the add-in not to shadow copy.

Deserialization failed error. Trying to automate an RDL file.

Whenever I try to change the SQL query on the RDL (which is an XML doc) and save it under a different name (to keep the original) I get the error...
"Deserialization failed: This is an unexpected token. The expected token is 'NAME'. Line 3325 position 28"

I am checking that line number and cannot fine any correlation.

One way to replicate this error is to create a new rdl file querying any number of fields. Save it and try to edit the sql using notepad inside the <CommmandText> section of the XML file. All I am doing is adding a union query so the fields stay the same, but I keep getting that error.

My purpose behind this is to generate rdl files with different sql criteria from an orignal template rdl.

Can any of you gurus figure this out?

No anwers on this yet?|||Still waiting...

Derived column usage when column does not exist in source (but exists in destination)

Posted - 09/10/2007 : 15:53:26


Hey all - got a problem that seems like it would be simple (and probably is : )

I'm importing a csv file into a SQL 2005 table and would like to add 2 columns that exist in the table but not in the csv file. I need these 2 columns to contain the current month and year (columns are named CM and CY respectively). How do I go about adding this data to each row during the transformation? A derived column task? Script task? None of these seem to be able to do this for me.

Here's a portion of the transformation script I was using to accomplish this when we were using SQL 2000 DTS jobs:

'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic Transformation Script
'************************************************************************

' Copy each source column to the destination column
Function Main()
DTSDestination("CM") = Month(Now)
DTSDestination("CY") = Year(Now)
DTSDestination("Comments") = DTSSource("Col031")
DTSDestination("Manufacturer") = DTSSource("Col030")
DTSDestination("Model") = DTSSource("Col029")
DTSDestination("Last Check-in Date") = DTSSource("Col028")
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
***********************************************************
Hopefully this question isnt answered somewhere else, but I did a quick search and came up with nothing. I've actually tried to utilize the script component and the "Row" object, but the only properties I'm given with that are the ones from the source data.

thanks in advance!

jm

It could be easily done by using the Derived Column task.

Just specify 2 new derived column names:

Month <add as a new column> MONTH(@.[System::StartTime])

Year <add as a new column> YEAR(@.[System::StartTime])

derived column transform (flat file blanks to 0)

Hi,

Is it possible using derived column transform to change all blank values in a flat file to say a "0"

Basically convert "" to "0"

Thanks for any help,

Slash.

Hi,

I think you can generate your derived column like this :

([source_column] == "") ? "0" : [source_column]

Worked a treat,

Derived column in SQL Server 2005 SSIS

Hi,

I am trying to upload a csv file into a destination SQL Server table using Data FLow objects in MS SQL Server 2005 SSIS. My destination table X has a date column while my source data file (for which i have a flat file connection) does not have a date column. I created a Derived column for date using the system date function in my Source data object and ran the package but it returned errors. I changed the data type of the derived column but I still get errors.

is there any other way i can get the date on the fly i.e generate a date for the incoming source file and map that (insert into) to the destination table ?

Thanks.

Post your errors here and we can then better help you. Also ensure that you have the correct date types flowing into the given date column.|||

Devived column name - Name for your date field

Devived column - should be <add as new column>

The expression columns should be GETDATE()

On the advanced Editor - Make sure to select the date name to be used in the output columns.

this should work for you.

Hammer.

Derived Column / Change date format

Hi,

Is there a way using a derived column transformation to change the format of the date eg:

The input flat file's date is in yyyy/mm/dd and i need to convert / change this to yyyy/dd/mm

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,

Slash.

Substring and concatenation, perhaps?|||.. would work because it is not really a date is it? It is just a string. Worth bearing in mind since display of dates is really a client issue not a SSIS/Server issue, unless you are taking a string and converting to a date type. Then SSIS will use the "client" as in user account settings that the process runs under when interpreting the string.|||

The weird thing is that the original flat file date is all yyyy/mm/dd but when it comes to import into the database as datetime. It inconsistently changes the format of the date some dates appear correct and some appear as yyyy/dd/mm. Is there anyway to over come this / have you heard of anything like this before?

Thanks for the replies,

Thanks for the replies,

The database isn't returning multiple formats once inserted... That is, when doing a select from a database table, you aren't seeing multiple formats in a datetime field. It's impossible. If the destination field is a character field, and you're converting to datetime before inserting, then perhaps you have some invalid dates that cannot convert.

To my knowledge, without converting to a string, and using the substring function, you will not be able to get the format you desire.

derived column - lots of columns-automate?

I'm sending a lot of columns through my derived column transform, checking for empty strings from a flat file - I was wondering is there a way that I could "script out" all the transforms instead of enduring this click hell that I'm stuck in inside the derived column transformation editor. I've got probably 100+ columns to configure with the following sort of transform....

Replace Col1

TRIM(Col1) == "" ? NULL(DT_WSTR,2) : Col1

Basically - if the string is empty, then throw Null in the data stream. I'm about a third the way through but it would really be nice if there was a quicker way. Even with the most efficient copying & pasting & keyboard shortcuts, it's still painful.

Using a script component, you can loop through the columns and perform this operation. Here's a few samples:

http://agilebi.com/cs/blogs/jwelch/archive/2007/06/01/xml-destination-script-component.aspx

The top one requires a little more coding, but is more flexible. The other uses reflection, which is slower but requires less code. Or you could use something like this, a slimmed down version of the first one that only handles strings.

Derived Column - DateTimeStamp From String (dd-mmm-yy)

I have come across something strange. I was wondering anyone else had the same problem or is it me?

I have a source file as shown below:
1,30-Feb-06,3,Test
2,20-Feb-06,5,Test1

Second column is defined as String(9) in the flat file source. Then I have a Derived Column between source and Trash destination. The Derived Column adds a new column to the datd flow. The expression is as shown below :
(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)(SUBSTRING(Col2,1,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING(Col2,4,3) + "/" + SUBSTRING(Col2,8,2))

The data is loading into the database successfully, where I was expecting it to fail. I placed a data viewer and saw the following result set.

Source (Col2) Derived Col
-
30-Feb-06 06/02/1930 00:00:00 - WRONG result set
20-Feb-06 20/02/2006 00:00:00 - RIGHT result set

Can anyone repeat this problem or am I missing something? I have got SP1 and Hotfix installed.

Thanks

Sutha

This one feels like an old friend - albeit an irritating old friend.

Briefly, this is a result of routines in oleaut. Really, the oleaut library is trying to be friendly and to cast your string to a valid date. Knowing that there are different formats out there such as yy-mm-dd and dd-mm-yy it "assumes" that you have a valid date in one of these formats and therefore - to hugely oversimplify - finds the format that enables it to perform a cast to a valid date.

Note that this behaviour has been around for a long time when using a non-US local (there are developers who believe it led to some slight misalignment of the pyramids) and many applications actually rely on the behaviour, so it is difficult to change after a long time.

I would suggest that if you are likely to have invalid dates of this particular nature, that you validate them using some code before applying the cast or conversion. Not a great solution, but effective.

Derived Column - Date Conversions?!?

It was my understanding earlier that -- it is mandatory to have a Derived Column for a DATE String in a Flat File
to be loaded properly into a table with "datetime" column type

However, i tried running my package with the Input Column as "DT_STR" and the Destination on the table is DATETIME.

Looks like the process went on fine.. Am i missing something here?

My Date Format from the source looks like -- "DD-MON-YY"

Regards
As long as it is in a format the DB understands, going from DT_STR to DateTime is an implicit conversion. So it's converting as it is inserted.

Deployment options help!

Sorry I am a newbie in SSIS.

I have got a small project that requires to feed in a .CSV flat file and load the data into SQL server 2000.

I developed a SSIS package for this and get it working in my computer, but I need to deploy it to customers that they don't have VS 2005 or SSIS installed. May any one of you give me some clues on that?

I played around with the flat file deployment and again it seems only working on my computer as I have everything installed.

Did you read BOL?

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180167.aspx

Deployment Issue

Hi,
I had a few sets of Reports, who were working fine. today I added a report
to my solution file at my dev machine and deployed it on the reportserver.
The Report got deployed successfully but when I browse the Report from the
browser before opening it shows the windows dialog box for "File Download"
and with the message "some files can harm your computer...." with the name
of the file as <reportfilename>.html. After clicking cancel the browser does
not shows the report. On clicking Save/Open the browser tries to download
some file which never ends.
Ironically it can preview my report from the dev machine.
My dev machine is Win XP and the Report server is Win 2000. I m using
Enterprise SQL Server MS Reports.
Is there any setting in reports/IE for this sudden behaviour
any idea will be highly appreciated..
siajHi,
I found the solution to my problem ...
There appears to be a bug in the MS RS version 8.00.743.00. If we name the
rdl file with a keyword containing "Attachmnet" Then we can deploy the file
but cant view the file..
I had named the file as "Look for Attachment.rdl" It did not work. I changed
the name it worked.
Would appreciate if some MS guy woule comment on this.
Cheers,
Jai

Deployment files needed by sqlserver 2005 driver

Hello all

I built an application that connect to MS SqlServer2005 using Native driver (sqlncli.msi) I install that file from MS site, I need to deply my application to the end-user, and I would like to know what files do I need to deploy to make sure the application is gona run okay on the client PC's.

I search in the registry for the driver, and I found this "sqlncli.dll", is it enough or I need to include more files !!

Thanks and best regrdas

SQLNCLI does not have specific dependencies, however your customers should have MDAC installed, which should be not a problem with the recent releases of Windows.

Deployment File System installation

Hallo,

i created a solution that is working fine in development. I would now like to deploy it on an other server.

We have choosen for a file system -based deployment because this seems to require the least specialized SQL Server-knowledge from the user who will be utilizing this system. I changed the properties of the solution to

CreateDeploymentUtility: true

DeploymentOutputPath : bin\Deployment

Subsequently I build the solution and in the bin\Deployment-folder dtsx-files have been created.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do next to deploy them on an other machine?

Do I need to deploy a complete version of SQL SERVER 2005 Devenv included or is there a lighter installation possible that only contains what I need to run the packages?

Can I shedule the packages to run at a specified moment without DTultil coming up?

When you once found an answer to these many questions i would be most gratefull if you woulkd let me know.

Kind regards,

Paul

I seem to have found a solution to my own questions?

Can anyone tell me what I need to do next to deploy them on an other machine?

Do I need to deploy a complete version of SQL SERVER 2005 Devenv included or is there a lighter installation possible that only contains what I need to run the packages?

I did the test and only succeeded in running the packages after a complete install of SQLServer 2005.

Can I shedule the packages to run at a specified moment without DTultil coming up?

Using the MS-sheduler I sheduled the execution of a batch-file. this batchfile contains the Command line instructions created using DTUtil, preceded by 'DTexec '. for instance. 'DTEXEC /FILE "C:\Program Files\JACBE_IF_CAB\FMC_People.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EWCDI'

There might be a more elegant solution but this seems to work .

Kind regards,

Paul

You don't need devenv at all. Devenv comes with the client tools install.

The only thing you need to run packages is to install Integration Services. This is different to the client install.

Hallo Jamie,

Thanks for your swift reply.

I admit i'm not a SQL server specilist but while installing SQL Server 2005 from CD (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition December 2005) or DVD the option 'Integration services' is disabled. So I can not single it out for installation. . Is there still an other installation dvd I need or can I download the SSIS server component from somewhere? I did not seem to find it in the download center

With kind regards,

Paul

|||

That's bizarre. I have installed off that CD a number of times and the option is never greyed out. Very strange indeed - I don't know what would cuse this.

I would contact your reseller and ask them why you can't install the software that you have paid for!

Deployment + XML Config file problem

Hello

I am using XML config file to store the values e.g. Server name.... it runs fine with BIDS (Development enviroment)... but when I deploy and run it to test that XML config files values are being read by e.g. giving the wrong server name, it runs fine (may be retrieving some old values). then I come bak and test it again in the development enviroment to test, it fails ( as it supposed to be caz server name is wrong in config file)

can ne one tell me wr is the problem?

ur help and support is appreciated

Sorry to bother you but that was the problem with my config file...

it is so pathetic that package running does not show ne error or warning that's y wasted a lot of time.... fortunately i was able to solve the problem b4 I go on my holidays... i big sigh of reliefs...

You need to point to the folder holding the .dtsx file in the server no matter hoe you deploy it.

Deploying SQL Express with ASP.Net Application

I have a small ASP.Net application developed in VS 2005 that I would like to deploy with SQL Express.

I have included the MDF file in the Application and added SQL Express as a pre-requisite for the Setup and Deployment project.

It installs SQL Express but when it tries to connect I receive:
"This is not a valid login Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'."

I don't seem to have any options using the "prerequisite options in VS 2005 in terms of command line deployment parameters.

Likewise I would prefer to attach the database to the instance (because I need to write a connection string from a PDA using RDA and I have zero clue how to do RDA directly back to the file).

Thanks for any help!
If you do not impersinate the user within your Asp application, the service account which the ASP Service is running with is used to connect to the SQL Server. If this account is not priviledged to access the server, you will get the mentioned error message. I don′t know how your application design is, but if you want to leave it as it is, you will have to grant access for the SYSTEM account to the server.

Deploying Reports to a New Server

I developed some reports on one system that I would like to move to another
system. I copied the rdl file to the new system and uploaded it via Report
Manager.
The data source the report uses is based upon SQL views which I created on
the new server.
I'm having a problem with the data source. I've tried creating a new custom
data source by going to the properties of the report and clicking on Data
Sources. I've also tried creating a new data source by clicking New Data
Source from the home page of the Reports.
I've received login errors using the sa account and I've seen that, despite
picking a new data source, it still seems to use the old data source.
What do I need to do to point the report to a the current server's data?

In this case, the machines are not on the same network. One is a test

Deploying reports

Dear Experts,
Is there an executable file which we could run and deploy reports?
This tool would ask which reports to deploy, where, using which datasources,
etc and it would deploy them.
Manually deploying reports through visual studio is inconvient for us and we
want anybody to do it. If there is no tool that is part of SQL 2005, can you
give us VB script, or open source code that does this?
Thanks,
