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()
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
