Parameter Queries in Analyser

Real new person question here but during my query practise I created some
parameter queries in the enterprise manager however theses will not work when
I open query analyser. Can anyone tell where I’ve boobed?
Many thanks
Sam
What did you create?
Stored procedures?
Which database - are you in the correct database?
Easiest to create them using query analyser using create proc then you can
save the script.

Parameter Queries in Access Projects

Hi, I am migrating an Access db to SQL Server.
I have a problem with my parameter queries.
In my access db, I have a lot of parameter quereis which I pass the parameters from forms, for example:

SELECT ... FROM... WHERE PID=[Forms]![frmPersonContact]![PersonID]

How can we do this in Access projects for views or stored procedure or user defined functions?

ThanksYou are probably better off replacing them with stored procedures. It won't be entirely the same; you can't simply link the value from a form to the parameter in the query. There will likely be some code involved.

Hugh Scott

SQL Stored Procedure:

CREATE PROC spDoThis
@.Parm1 as Varchar(255),
@.Parm2 as Int

AS

UPDATE MyTable
SET Column1 = @.Parm1

ADO Code (in your form):

oComm.Parameters.Refresh

' Assign the values to the stored proc parameters from your form

Parameter Queries

If I understand what I am doing ...
I can run an unnamed parameter query in Query Analyzer
SELECT au_lname, au_fname
FROM dbo.authors
WHERE (state = ?)
However, that is about all I can do with it. I have not been able to do
anything with named parameter queries.
I guess the Books Online is a little off on these?
Is it possible to create some form of parameter query that accomplishes the
same thing as they do in Access?
Thanks.
Mike.You need a stored proc
--first create the procedure
Create Procedure prAuthorStates @.State char(2)
as
set nocount on
SELECT au_lname, au_fname,state
FROM dbo.authors
WHERE (state = @.State)
set nocount off
GO
--then execute the proc
exec prAuthorStates 'CA'
The code that you potsde can be used from ASP/PHP/JSP etc by using
prepared statements but not from Query Analyzer

Thanks to you both. I thought as much. It is a shame though. The Query
Designer will pop up a dialog box for filling in the values. Works with the
? unnamed one OK; has a problem with the named one.
I guess I will have to find another way.
Thanks again.

Parameter Queries

I am migrating a database from Access to SQL Server 2000. In Access, I had
several Parameter Queries set up so that users could specify a parameter
based on their need. I combed through Books on Line and figured out how to
do it in Query Designer. Is there a way to save this query with the set up
parameters into a view so that I can have other users re-use it?
thank you

Parameter Queries

Is there a way in Transact-SQL to do a "runtime" parameter query within a MS
Access adp frontend? This is easily done in a pure MS Access mdb using the
square brackets, e.g. [ENTER Customer Number].Hi
SQL Server will not allow this, but you may want to ask in an access
newsgroup to find the best solution.

parameter properties in report manager - "Has Default"

ok I've designed a report template that uses cascading paramters based
on several sp's. The user selects a value for the first parameter and
that value is passed to the sp that populates the second parameter
list. The value selected for the second param is used to populate the
third param list etc...
I want the first parameter to be required and the other 3 to be
optional - the report should still run if they are not selected. RS
BOL told me to go into the Report manager, select "Properties"
then"Parameters" and then select the "Has Default" check box for the
three optional paramters. This in turn enables the "Null" checkbox, so
I checked that box so null will be the default value passed if these
parameters are not selected.
By all accounts this should allow the report to run with only the first
parameter selected, but when run from Report Manager it still keeps
prompting the user to enter values for the 3 other optional parameters.
Any ideas? help?Never mind! found a workaround...

Parameter Prompts

I don't see a way to attach an expression to a parameter prompt. I have a
custom report extension I have written that works great. I make a call to it
and it retrieves label values to report items. I would like to use that to
retrieve the prompt value for my parameters. Basically everything on the
reports are dynamic including labels because its a hosted application that
has mutliple clients and each can customise their view of the world. Is this
possible? If not is my only alternative to create by own pages to get the
parameters and pass them into the report thru URL or web service?Expressions are not supported for parameter prompt yet.

Parameter Prompt with Wildcard

I'd like to create a report parameter to allow the user to enter only a
partial field using wildcard(s) in SRS. The list is lengthy and the user
does not always know the full name to enter.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
KarenVery much it can be done. Just you need to keep in mind about the single
quotes you are using for string paramters. eg '%userrequest' which you will
be passing the parameters to the "where" clause.

Parameter Prompt text (filter labels)

Is there a way to manipulate the label that appears next to a filter list
(the report parameter prompt) on the fly when generating a report?
For example, I have 2 people viewing a report -- one is in France and one is
in the US. In the report, the filter labels are currently all in English. I
have the French and English text stored in a database table -- so I was
thinking that I could use an expression to get the appropriate text from the
database, but I do not see an opportunity to use an expression for the prompt.
Any other ideas on how I could modify the text in a filter label on the fly?
Thank you,

The only thing I can think of is to try to conditionally modify the
underlying XML in the RDL file itself (though this is a long shot).
Ofcourse, there's always the custom application route that access the
rdl files internally (or maybe custom assembly: though I'm not
experienced in this area). Sorry to not be of greater assistance.

Parameter Prompt RTL

How i can display parameter prompt in other language like arabic

(right to left)

Regard

LPW

Plz

some body reply i need to display parameter prompt in other language

Parameter Prompt List & Filter selection

I have created a parameter for a report that displays a drop-down list of
values to pick from. The parameter values are defined as being "loaded from
a query." The problen is that I need to have the option of blanks as a valid
value in this parameter so that the report can be generated for "all" values
too. Note: The query is the result of a dataset which executes an MDX
statement .
Part II of my problem is that I want to be able to filtermy results to say
either "part number = parameter value", or part number <> " ". I can't seem
to conditionally set the filter. Perhaps I am using the wrong syntax. Note:
I have tried placing the filter on both the dataset and the matrix object.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you install Service Pack 2, you will have 'Select All' as an
available option for multi-select parameters. For the most part,
filters can only do and-ing, not or-ing. Hope this helps.

Parameter prompt based on expression

Hi,

Is it possible to construct the prompt (i.e. the text that is displayed next to the parameter text box when the report runs) for a parameter from an expression

Actually i have written some custom code and i want my parameter prompts to be populated based on the returned values from that custom code. I don't want these do be fixed texts.

Thanks,

Simranjeev

Can you use SWITCH option?

Igor.

|||

But the Switch option is also used inside an expression, and i don't know how to create the parameter labels from expressions.

On my report, I have a parameter called "StartDate". I've given it the label "Start Date:". Now i want that when the locale of the user is English, this label should be displayed as "Start Date:" and when the locale of the user changes to some other language, lets say German, then the label should be displayed as the translated value for "Start Date:" in German.

I've already done this for the textboxes on my reports, by calling custom code which reads from resource files depending on user locale. I wanted to know if this is possible for parameter labels as well, as i couldn't find any option to do so.

Parameter Problems ! ! !

Hi,
I have gone through all the suggestions on this site, but non of them have
solved my problem. I am new to reporting services, and I am facing a problem
and I dont' know whether the url based reporting is going to solve this for
me (i really hope it can).
I have a datagrid with link button which basically passes the parameters to
a report like id, startDate and and an endDate, so basically the report shows
data for that id between the startdate and the endDate. Now the parameters
are passed fine and it shows up on the text boxes in the report, however the
problem is that though I want to use the id as a parameter from the url, I do
not want to give the user a text box to change that value i.e. basically i
want it hidden and at the same time I want it to be able to use the value i
pass in the url... can this be done.. I would really appreciate if someone
could direct me on the right path...I have tried hiding prompts throught the
reporting manager, and using just a "space" in the reporting string, but
there's still text box showing up which I don't want to show... sooo plzzz
some one help me out. Thank you.. in advanceYes. It can be done.
Here is an example Url.
http://localhost/ReportServer?/<ReportDirectory>/<ReportName>&rc:Toolbar=true&rc:parameters=false&rs:Command=Render&<ParameterName>=<ParameterValue>
Replace the values that in brackets that match your requirements.
<ReportDirectory> - use if you've created a folder where your report
resides.
<ReportName> - the name of the report that you want to render.
<Parameter> - the parameter name that you are going to pass a value to the
report.
<ParameterValue> - this is the actual parameter value being passed.
If you have additional parameters you can add them to the end of the Url
using this syntax:
&<ParameterName2>=<ParameterValue2>
http://localhost/ReportServer?/<ReportDirectory>/<ReportName>&rc:Toolbar=true&rc:parameters=false&rs:Command=Render&<ParameterName>=<ParameterValue>&<ParameterName2>=<ParameterValue2>
I hope this helps. I use it all the time in my c# applications.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately this did not work, is there any
pre-reqs to doing this .. i mean do i have to change any properties of the
report before doing this.? if not.. i tried using this same url you have
suggested, but all the text boxes still appear. Also i'de like to specify
that i have 3 parameters out of which i want to show only two. The three
parameters once again are id, startDate and endDate. So I'de like to show the
start and end dates and would like to give the user the option to change
those parameters, however i do not want to give the user the option to change
the id, and hence i want the "id" parameter to be hidden. Please let me know
if i can do this. Thank you.

programmatically but not available to the user to change. I have the same
requirement. All I do is set the parameter to hidden under Report : Report
Parameters and check the Hidden checkbox.|||That is for RS 2005.

Thank you for the suggestion, I tried what you told me to do in SQL Server
2000 i.e. from "Report manager" i checked the "Prompt user" but i didnt give
any "prompt string" , but what happens in that case is only a text box
without a label shows up,and that does not help I am lookin for something
which does not show a label or a text box. Please let me konw if it's
possible. Bob fisher actually summed up pretty well about what i want,
however his suggestion was for 2005, i am lookin for something which would
work for 2000. Thank you

if you want your paramaeter to be hidden from user. After deployment to

Parameter problem..help is needed please

Can someone please help identify where the problem exist in this code. A
connection with an Access database (in this case)is established through the
GUI. The snippet of code is aimed to implement two parameters: an input
parameter and an output parameter. The user inputs a value in textbox1 to
serve as input for parameter @.BizName. The output parameter is @.BizAddress.
It’s value is captured in variable i and placed in textbox2.
Why do I get this error message:
Server Error in '/WebApplicationAccessParam' Application.
Parameter 1: '@.BizAddress' of type: String, the property Size has an invalid
size: 0
This is the code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim i As String
Dim dsResult As New DataSet
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT @.BizAddress=Address FROM testTable WHERE Name =
@.BizName"
Dim oleAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter(strSQL, OleDbConnection1)
oleAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@.BizName", OleDbType.VarChar)
oleAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters("@.BizName").Direction =
ParameterDirection.Input
oleAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters("@.BizName").Value = TextBox1.Text
oleAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@.BizAddress",
OleDbType.VarChar)
oleAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters("@.BizAddress").Direction =
ParameterDirection.Output
i = oleAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters("@.BizAddress").Value
TextBox2.Text = i
oleAdapter.Fill(dsResult, "testTable")
DataGrid1.DataSource = dsResult
DataGrid1.DataMember = "testTable"
DataGrid1.DataBind()
OleDbConnection1.Close()
Many thanks in advance.I think you need to add a size to your .Add() function, like this:
oleAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@.BizName", OleDbType.VarChar, 50)
I used a default of 50, because that's what Access defaults to for those
type fields, but you should change it to match the size of the field in your
database.
Same thing with the @.BizAddress parameter.
Thx,

Why are you trying to get a Parameter Value from an Output parameter when
the Command hasn't been executed yet? I'm not even sure you can use an
OUTPUT parameter with a DataAdapter's .Fill() method. You might want to
look that one up in MSDN Online. To return output parameters, they have to
be specified in your SQL Command by following with the OUTPUT keyword also.
If you'd like to pursue this further, I can help you sort it out, but we
should probably move this thread to the
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp newsgroup, since we're leaving the
realm of SQL problems and charging into C#.NET + ADO.NET issues.

not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish with your DataGrid and

Parameter problem with OLAP and spaces

Hello all,

I have an issue with parameters. Let me explain.....

I have report1 which uses analysis services as it's data source. The report displays a list of our companies sites along with some costs etc. Site names can include spaces and numbers but they are stored in the relational database as varchar[50]. On the relevant text box of report1 I have defined a data detsination using report2 and passing it the site name field.value.

On report2 I have added the site name field as a filter dimension and set it as a parameter. On the report parameters I have set the parameter as being non queried.

When I run report1 and click a value to "drill down" it only works for values that have no spaces and no numbers. If If convert spaces to underscores I get a little further, but sites that have numbers, for example 15_OxfordStreet still do not work. The error message I get is..

"Parser: The syntax for '_Oxford' is incorrect.

Can anyone suggest anything to help?

Many thanks

Matt

You may need to escape the member names. To avoid similar issues, the SSAS team introduced undocumented function UrlEscapeFragment. If you open the sample AW cube, flip to the Actions tab in the Cube Designer, select the Sales Reason Comparision action, and expand the Parameters section, you will see how this function is used to escape the member name.|||

Teo,

Thanks for your reply. I'm still learning SQL 2005 and although I tried your suggestion I could not get it to work. However I did fix the problem. The issue was that I was passing through the "friendly name" of the value, instead of [data1].[field name].&[0] etc. as the jump to parameter!

Arrrrgggg...so simple when you think about it!

parameter problem in sql2005 sp

in sql2005 store procedure is accepting the varchar value which is more than the parameter's varchar value size it is not giving any exception error but removes the remaining character from right side

Example :

Table

create table employee

(Empname Varchar(5), EmpNo Int)

Procedure

create procedure test (@.para1 Varchar(5))

SELECT * FROM employee WHRE empNAME=@.PARA1

Execution

exec test 'ABCDEFGH'

it consider only 'ABCDE' and ignores remaining character without giving any exception error.

Thanks,

It is the specification. Not only in 2005 earlier versions also use the same specification.

But in sql server 2005 you can overcome this issue using Varchar(max) it never truncate the value.

Declare @.A varchar(1), @.B varchar(Max);

Set @.A = '1234' --Truncated value

Set @.B = '1234' --Never Truncate the value

Select @.A, @.B

Note:

The character length is only validated on Insert & Update statement.

Parameter Problem in Scheduled Report

Hi,
I have a Monthly Report set to be generated in everyday 7am. The default
value of the MONTH parameter is previous month (i.e. Nov). Yet if need to
extract a OCT report, it could be changed the parameter in Report Manager
(i.e. override default of MONTH parameter); however, once it is changed to
10, the scheduler would based on 10 to generate the Montly report afterward.
Is there any method to restore the default value without redeploy the report?
Thanks.
Yan.Why don't you or your users manually change the value of the parameter in
Report Viewer instead?

Parameter Problem - driving me insane

Ok here we go,

MySQL 5
MyODBC 3.51
Crystal Reports.Net
and
ASP.Net using VB.Net

Set up the connection to the DB in Crystal using MyODBC. I used the Database expert to call my Stored Procedure which has one Parameter and the code is real simple going like this:

call SuccessLetter (AppNo)

From the wizard i can see and place all the fields from the SP onto the report as long as i hard code an application number into my parameter. But as soon as i change it to a variable (as above) i get the following error from Crystal: Unknown Fields AppNo in order clause MySQL ODBC 3.51 error 42S21

On the VB code side i used
Success.SetParameterValue("AppNo", GeneralFunctions.ApplicationNo)
to set up the parameter and this does get passed thru so the error is comming from the database expert - almost as if it dont recognise that my stored procedure has a parameter. Which it does and it does work if i use the SP outside of Crystal.

Any ideas - please help me before i go bald from tearing the hair out.

ThanksAnd another weird thing i;ve noticed is that Crystal puts the stored procedure in the list of tables when i use the database expert when i go to choose my tables

WHERE (dbo.tblCASENOMASTER.CASENO = @.caseID)

END

How do I get values into @.lastName and @.firstName? I have tried this:

SELECT dbo.tblCASENOMASTER.CASENO, @.lastName = dbo.tblCASEMAST.LASTNAME, @.firstName = dbo.tblCASEMAST.FRSTNAME

I got this error:

Msg 141, Level 15, State 1, Procedure usp_CrimRecTest, Line 22
A SELECT statement that assigns a value to a variable must not be combined with data-retrieval operations.

Help!

Thanks.

Hi,

that a easy thing, like the error says, you can′t combine data retrieval (thats selecting or outputting the result *and* assigning values to variables. If you want to put out the *CASENO*, put in in a variable and do a SELECT @.CASENO afterwards fetching the values into the variables.

This may be doing what Jens suggested, but I'm not sure. I changed:

SELECT dbo.tblCASENOMASTER.CASENO, @.lastName = dbo.tblCASEMAST.LASTNAME, @.firstName = dbo.tblCASEMAST.FRSTNAME...

to this:

SELECT @.lastName = dbo.tblCASEMAST.LASTNAME, @.firstName = dbo.tblCASEMAST.FRSTNAME...

and it worked.

Thanks for the reply Jens.

Nice to hear that this helped, but if you want to select (output the case number, I am not sure after you last reply) you *could* do that:

SELECT @.Caseno = dbo.tblCASENOMASTER.CASENO, @.lastName = dbo.tblCASEMAST.LASTNAME, @.firstName = dbo.tblCASEMAST.FRSTNAME...

Select @.Caseno

Parameter problem

hi,
i m using following query in my dataset query string

SELECT OrderNumber, OrderDate, Name AS Client, orderstatus
FROM Orders
Where @.Param

i m sending boolean exp as value for @.param as string like " YEAR(ORderDate) = YEAR(getDate()) "

but is showing following error

An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected,near '@.param'. (Microsoft Sql Server, Error:4145)

please help me,

thanks
You cannot do that unless you use dynamic Sql in a procedure, passing the string as the parameter which should be avoided.

Jens K. Suessmeyer

http://www.sqlserver2005.de

|||thanks for reply

but can u explain further because i m new to it
|||

You dont need to send the parameter string because whatever you trying to do can be achieved in plain SQL in dataset query itself:

SELECT OrderNumber, OrderDate, Name AS Client, orderstatus
FROM Orders
Where YEAR(OrderDate) = YEAR(GETDATE())

Shyam

|||Wee that depends. if you have the same query everything with carying parameters you can use something like Where YEAR(@.SomeVar) = YEAR(Getdate()), the parameter will automatically mapped to the report if you write such a query in the pane of the query editor in the report designer. but if you want to pass in a whole condition rather than just a parameter you would probably need to pass it to a stored procedure to make it execute in a dynamic SQL statement.

Parameter Problem

Hi All!

My report has two parameters; department and jobs within that department.

dataset2
SELECT dbo.Jobs.JobName, dbo.CostCentres.CostCentreId, dbo.Jobs.JobCode,
dbo.CostCentres.CostCentre
FROM dbo.Jobs INNER JOIN
dbo.CostCentres ON dbo.Jobs.CostCentreId = dbo.
CostCentres.CostCentreId
WHERE (SUBSTRING(dbo.CostCentres.CostCentre, 1, 4) = 'CMBS')
ORDER BY dbo.CostCentres.CostCentreId, dbo.Jobs.JobName

dataset1
has all the info about activity inside the jobs and the @.prompts.

The problem is I am getting duplicate departments in the department prompt
and all the jobs for all the departments in the job prompt. Is there a way,
after I choose what department I want, to just get the job within that
department I want?

Any help would be great!
Thanks in advanced, KerrieI figured out this problem, if anyone would like to no, email me at ksorrell@.cincom.comsql

Parameter problem

HI, I have a report that users select a parameter value from a dropdownbox.

I want to be able to limit the number of parameter options depending on who is logged in.

user A can only see values 'ABC', 'DSC', 'BHT''

whereas user B can see values 'MKP','NHJ','BLP'

is this possible? if so how?

TIA

Reporting services provides the "User!UserID" global parameter in all its reports. This populates with the windows user name if I'm not mistaken. You could pass this value as a parameter to the dataset that you're using to populate the dropdown box.|||If the datasource is driven by a view or a stored procedure or a query you can implement row-level security using a mapping table which locks ( locks up down the appropiate values which should not be seen by some people. If you have a static list, this would be too hard to implement / impossible (Nothing is impossible, impossible just takes longer :-) )

I was hoping to be able to use custom code to populate the parameter dropdownlist/ set the parameter values.

Is this possible? can I reference datasets in my code?

|||

I created a view then set a filter on the dataset to return values based on the User!UserID=UserName field from dataset

then set the parameter to 'From Query' chose the dataset and appropriate field from dataset and everything aok.

|||Welcome to rowlevel security :-)|||

I am trying to do the something similar. In my report i created a stored procedure that stored procedure is passed a parameter CaseNumber. (I am using the Report Veiwer Control in Remote Mode). In Report Designer, I created to datasets the first dataset populates the dropdown list box and it is displayed in the toolbar. The Second dataset takes this parameter (CaseNumber) and brings back the report. Everything works fine in the Report Manager; however, when I run it from frmReport.aspx page the report does not show.

If I run the report without any parameters from the frmReport.aspx page (still using the stored procedure w/o using parameters) the report shows. Can any body help me with this.

parameter problem

Hi, i want to bind dropdowenlist ti gridview so i fill grid with aprameter takes from dropdownlist

i use this code to defien the parameter

SqlParameter pram1 =newSqlParameter("@.Group_ID",SqlDbType.Int, 4,"Group_ID");

pram1.Direction =ParameterDirection.Input;

pram1.Value =Convert.ToInt32(DropDownList5.SelectedItem.Value);

cmd.Parameters.Add(pram1);

what is th problem in value????

i try with many thing but the same result

plz help,,,

Hello my friend,

Use the following line: -

cmd.Parameters.Add("@.Group_ID", SqlDbType.Int, 4).Value = DropDownList5.SelectedItem.Value;

I would be sure to test that the dropdown list has a selected value or your code will crash: -

if (DropDownList5.SelectedIndex >= 0)

Kind regards

Scotty

|||

I agree. Something like:

cmd.Parameters.Add(
"@.Group_ID"
, SqlDbType.Int
).Value = (DropDownList5.SelectedIndex >= 0) ? DropDownList5.SelectedItem.Value : DBNull.Value;

Of course, your sql statement/sproc should consider @.Group_ID could be NULL as well.

|||

Try to use

DropDownList5.SelectedValue instead ofDropDownList5.SelectedItem.Value

Satya

|||

In order to know whether an items was selected (checking SelectedIndex >= 0) or not (setting the parameter to DBNull.Value) then you would be doing extra checks on SelectedIndex (check Reflector for the exact code). A minor point, but something to consider.

Hi everybody,
I'm using CR 9. Is there any way to set a parameter as optional?

parameter passing with blanks - help required

Hi,

I am having a curious problem with parameter passing between

reports. I have 2 reports the first report gives employee name, Department and

in the second report I have employee details. If the user clicks on the

Employee name in the First report it should go to the second report and display

the details. My problem comes if suppose the employee name is “Don King”when the parameter gets passed it does not recognize

the space between thename and throws

an error saying King not recognized.

Would appreciate if anybody could suggest as to how I can

pass the name with spaces in the report parameters.

Thanks and regards

PMNJ|||I'm having the same problem. I've also got a parameter which can be one word, of more than one word, sometimes with a comma in it. I'm passing the parameter, like PMNJ, thru the report parameter.

Has someone solved this problem?|||I reiterate Brad's question. How are you passing the parameter? Are you using Jump to Report? Are you parsing together a URL link? More details.|||Sorry, here is the info you requested.

I'm passing the parameter (along with another one) with the report parameter, orinating from a jump to report link.
The parameter is correctly displayed when using a textbox and a expression with the parameter in it.

Parameter passing to a stored procedure

Hey huys, I got this stored procedure. First of all: could this work?

--start :)
CREATE PROCEDURE USP_MactchUser

@.domainUserID NVARCHAR(50) ,

@.EmployeeID NVARCHAR(50) ,

@.loginType bit = '0'
AS

INSERT INTO T_Login

(employeeID, loginType, domainUserID)

Values
(@.EmployeeID, @.loginType, @.domainUserID)
GO
--end :)

then I got this VB.Net code in my ASP.net page...

--begin :)
Private Sub matchUser()
Dim insertMatchedUser As SqlClient.SqlCommand
Dim daMatchedUser As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
SqlConnection1.Open()
'conn openned
daMatchedUser = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter("USP_MatchUser", SqlConnection1)
daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@.EmployeeID", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50))
daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@.domainUserID", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50))
daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.Parameters("@.EmployeeID").Value = Trim(lblEmployeeID.Text)
daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.Parameters("@.domainUserID").Value = Trim(lblDomainuserID.Text)
daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.Parameters("@.EmployeeID").Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.Parameters("@.domainUserID").Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
SqlConnection1.Close()
'conn closed

End Sub
--

If I try this it doesn't work (maybe that's normal :) ) Am I doing it wrong. The thing is, in both label.text properties a values is stored that i want to as a parameter to my stored procedure. What am I doing wrong?no.

Private Sub matchUser()
Dim insertMatchedUser As SqlClient.SqlCommand

insertMatchedUser = new SqlCommand;
insertMatchedUser.CommandText = "USP_MactchUser"
insertMatchedUser.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
insertMatchedUser.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@.EmployeeID", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50))

Parameter passing to a DTS package

Hi,
I have a DTS package that exports a query result from SQLServer to a text
file . I sheculed it daily.
What I want to do is give the text file name as paramaetric, I mean,
e.g. salesresultddmmhhss.txt ddmmhhss : run time day month hour and second
Is it possible?Hi
The DTSRun utility has a /A parameter that allows you to set the values of a
global variable. This can then be used to set the filename. If the name is
consistent you should be able to do this in code without passing a value.
You may also want to check out http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?292 for
renaming a file and http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?234

Parameter passing in SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) 2005 from VB.Net2005

Is it possible to parm in a value to a SSIS

in my SSIS i have a variable;

Name : FileName
Scope : PackageName
Type : String

Value : ""

I have tried adding the following code in my vb.net project ;

pkg.Variables("filename").Value = "C:\temp\testfile.001"
pkg.execute()

but come up with the following error

A first chance exception of type 'System.MissingMemberException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
Public member 'Variables' on type 'IDTSPackage90' not found.

can anyone help ?

Make sure the object type for "pkg" is Package, not IDTSPackage90. That interface doesn't expose the variables collection.

Also, you should use the VariableDispenser to lock the variable before writing to it.

|||

hiya this is the code im using

Dim pkgLocation As String = ""

Dim App As New Application

Dim pkg As New Package

Dim ExecEvent As IDTSEvents90

Dim result As DTSExecResult

pkgLocation = "\\Sql1\2007_DTS\FTPSLAVE.dtsx"

Try

pkg = App.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, False, ExecEvent)

pkg.Variables("filename").Value = "C:\temp\qqq.xxx"

pkg.Execute()

MsgBox("DTS Executed - result - " & result.ToString)

Catch ex As Exception

Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)

MsgBox(" Execution error " & ex.Message)

End Try

i have a warning which i diont understand what it means or its implications

Warning 2 Referenced assembly '..\..\..\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\DTEParseMgd.dll' targets a different processor than the application. testbed

|||

Do you have your application set up for AnyCPU, or is it targeting a specific one (x86 or x64)?

Also, is the code you posted above what you were using previously, or did that correct the first problem?

|||

HI John,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you .

The application is set to use any CPU and the code is the full function as apposed to a sample snippit.

Im still stumped as to why this wont work ....

|||

I just tested this code - try it out and let me know if it works for you. There are a few changes from your version.

Code Snippet

Dim pkgLocation As String = ""

Dim App As New Application

Dim pkg As New Package

Dim result As DTSExecResult

pkgLocation = "Your Package Path.dtsx"

Try

pkg = App.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, Nothing)

'pkg.Variables("filename").Value = "C:\temp\qqq.xxx"

pkg.Execute()

MsgBox("DTS Executed - result - " & result.ToString)

Catch ex As Exception

Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)

MsgBox(" Execution error " & ex.Message)

End Try

|||

John,

thank you very much for the code, that part works great, but, The DTSX (TestProj) is importing a file into two SQL tables, and what i have created a variable as follows;

Name Scope Data Type Value

ImpFileName TestProj String

What i need to do is be able to parm a filename into impfileName fromm the Vb Application at runtime. It was so simple in the old DTS, but i am stumped here

|||

Hi Pete

I haven't done this in vb but here is the code that works in c#

load the package from the server

_ExecutePackage = _DTSServer.LoadFromDtsServer(PackageFolder + PackageName, SSISServer, null);

you have to lock the variable for writing

_ExecutePackage.VariableDispenser.LockForWrite("ImpFileName");

create a new variables object that will be used in the getvariables call

Variables _PackageVars = null;

_ExecutePackage.VariableDispenser.GetVariables(ref _PackageVars);

loop through one or more variable

foreach (Variable v in _PackageVars)

{

v.Value = "what ever you want it to be";

}

release the lock on the variables

if (_PackageVars.Locked)

{

_PackageVars.Unlock();

}

execute the package

PackageResult = _ExecutePackage.Execute();

Hope this helps

John,

Carnt say thank you enough, although im using vb, that c# example showed me exactly where i was going wrong ... Its works !!!!!

Thank you

Parameter passing in SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) 2005 from VB.Net2005

Is it possible to parm in a value to a SSIS

in my SSIS i have a variable;

Name : FileName
Scope : PackageName
Type : String

Value : ""

I have tried adding the following code in my vb.net project ;

pkg.Variables("filename").Value = "C:\temp\testfile.001"
pkg.execute()

but come up with the following error

A first chance exception of type 'System.MissingMemberException' occurred in Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
Public member 'Variables' on type 'IDTSPackage90' not found.

can anyone help ?

Make sure the object type for "pkg" is Package, not IDTSPackage90. That interface doesn't expose the variables collection.

Also, you should use the VariableDispenser to lock the variable before writing to it.

hiya this is the code im using

Dim pkgLocation As String = ""

Dim App As New Application

Dim pkg As New Package

Dim ExecEvent As IDTSEvents90

Dim result As DTSExecResult

pkgLocation = "\\Sql1\2007_DTS\FTPSLAVE.dtsx"

Try

pkg = App.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, False, ExecEvent)

pkg.Variables("filename").Value = "C:\temp\qqq.xxx"

pkg.Execute()

MsgBox("DTS Executed - result - " & result.ToString)

Catch ex As Exception

Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)

MsgBox(" Execution error " & ex.Message)

End Try

i have a warning which i diont understand what it means or its implications

Warning 2 Referenced assembly '..\..\..\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\DTEParseMgd.dll' targets a different processor than the application. testbed

Do you have your application set up for AnyCPU, or is it targeting a specific one (x86 or x64)?

Also, is the code you posted above what you were using previously, or did that correct the first problem?

|||

HI John,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you .

The application is set to use any CPU and the code is the full function as apposed to a sample snippit.

Im still stumped as to why this wont work ....

|||

I just tested this code - try it out and let me know if it works for you. There are a few changes from your version.

Code Snippet

Dim pkgLocation As String = ""

Dim App As New Application

Dim pkg As New Package

Dim result As DTSExecResult

pkgLocation = "Your Package Path.dtsx"

Try

pkg = App.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, Nothing)

'pkg.Variables("filename").Value = "C:\temp\qqq.xxx"

pkg.Execute()

MsgBox("DTS Executed - result - " & result.ToString)

Catch ex As Exception

Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)

MsgBox(" Execution error " & ex.Message)

End Try

John,

thank you very much for the code, that part works great, but, The DTSX (TestProj) is importing a file into two SQL tables, and what i have created a variable as follows;

Name Scope Data Type Value

ImpFileName TestProj String

What i need to do is be able to parm a filename into impfileName fromm the Vb Application at runtime. It was so simple in the old DTS, but i am stumped here

Hi Pete

I haven't done this in vb but here is the code that works in c#

load the package from the server

_ExecutePackage = _DTSServer.LoadFromDtsServer(PackageFolder + PackageName, SSISServer, null);

you have to lock the variable for writing

_ExecutePackage.VariableDispenser.LockForWrite("ImpFileName");

create a new variables object that will be used in the getvariables call

Variables _PackageVars = null;

_ExecutePackage.VariableDispenser.GetVariables(ref _PackageVars);

loop through one or more variable

foreach (Variable v in _PackageVars)

{

v.Value = "what ever you want it to be";

}

release the lock on the variables

if (_PackageVars.Locked)

{

_PackageVars.Unlock();

}

execute the package

PackageResult = _ExecutePackage.Execute();

Hope this helps
