More Problems With 32 Bit Package on x64 SQL Server

Hello,

I have gone through some documentation on how to execute a 32 bit package on SQL Server 2005 x64, and I'm still running into problems when I attempt to execute such a package from a Job.

Critical Points:

-The package was imported into an instance of Integration Services 2005 from the file system to a subdirectory of the MSDB folder. From Management Studio, Integration Services, the path to the package looks like this: Stored Packages\MSDB\CPS\CPS_Collections. 'CPS_Collections' is the name of the package.

-This package has a connection to an Access 2000 database using the Native OLE DB\Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider. I understand that there is not a 64 bit version of this provider. The Access database is stored on a different machine than the one that hosts the SQL Server 2005 x64 instance.

-According to this; http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141766.aspx I should be able to create the command line with the dtexecui.exe utility and copy and paste this line into a Job Step with the Job Step Type as operating system. Here is what my command line looks like: /SQL "\CPS\CPS_Collections" /SERVER bwdbfin1 /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E . I have the Job Type set up as Operating System, and the Job runs as SQL Agent Service Account

-When I attempt to run the Job, the Job fails. Here is a part of the error message from the Job history:

The process could not be created for step 1 of job 0x9B318B226174A24B8BD63CE8F4814864 (reason: The system cannot find the file specified).

Does this point to a problem of where the Access datbase is located? Could it be that the account that runs SQL Agent does not have access rights to the directory? Is there a way to run an operating system command as someone other than SQL Agent? Is there something wrong with the command line that I am using?

Please share if you have any ideas on this.

Thank you for your help!

On a 64-bit server, the SSIS job step calls the 64-bit version of DTEXEC. You need to call the 32-bit version (located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Sql Server\90\DTS on most installs). To do this, you need to use a CmdExec job step.|||Hi,

Since the error description said : The system cannot find the file specified, maybe you set the location of Access database into a mapping drive or something, try using this format \\ip_address_of_the_machine\

Best regards,

You can use DTEXECUI to construct the command arguments, but you still need to supply the executable name for the command line. I.e. your full command line should look like

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Sql Server\90\DTS\Binn\DtExec.exe" /SQL "\CPS\CPS_Collections" /SERVER bwdbfin1 /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the late response. I'll take your responses and look into this further. I can say that the location to the Access database is not expressed as a mapped drive.

Mon- Fri Bit fields Query

I am having trouble figuring out how to complete this any help is appreiciated.

I have Mon , Tues , Weds , Thurs , Fri as bit fields I need to write a query for a report to see if the value is true, and display M, T, W, Th, F in a column Days if they are scheduled that day

example:

Mon and Wed I got on the bus the checkboxes are set to True, I want one column in the report Days: to display M, W

Ray:

Is something like this sufficient?

set nocount on

declare @.monStr varchar (11) set @.monStr = 'M,'
declare @.tueStr varchar (11) set @.tueStr = 'T,'
declare @.wedStr varchar (11) set @.wedStr = 'W,'
declare @.thuStr varchar (11) set @.thuStr = 'Th,'
declare @.friStr varchar (11) set @.friStr = 'F,'

declare @.recurringEvent table
( eventName varchar (20) not null,
Mon bit,
Tues bit,
Wed bit,
Thur bit,
Fri bit
)

insert into @.recurringEvent values ('Ride Bus', 1,0,1,0,0)
insert into @.recurringEvent values ('Go to Classes', 1,0,1,1,0)
insert into @.recurringEvent values ('Sleep @. night', 1,1,1,1,1)
insert into @.recurringEvent values ('Feed Dog', 1,0,1,0,1)
insert into @.recurringEvent values ('Feed Gator', 0,0,0,0,0)

select eventName,
case when convert (tinyint, mon) + convert (tinyint, tues)
+ convert (tinyint, wed) + convert (tinyint, thur)
+ convert (tinyint, fri) = 0
then ''
else left (left (@.monStr, 2 * mon)
+ left (@.tueStr, 2 * tues)
+ left (@.wedStr, 2 * wed)
+ left (@.thuStr, 3 * thur)
+ left (@.friStr, 2 * fri),
datalength (left (@.monStr, 2 * mon)
+ left (@.tueStr, 2 * tues)
+ left (@.wedStr, 2 * wed)
+ left (@.thuStr, 3 * thur)
+ left (@.friStr, 2 * fri)) - 1
)
end as Days
from @.recurringEvent

-- -
-- S A M P L E O U T P U T
-- -

-- eventName Days
-- -- -
-- Ride Bus M,W
-- Go to Classes M,W,Th
-- Sleep @. night M,T,W,Th,F
-- Feed Dog M,W,F
-- Feed Gator

|||

I prefer the case construct

case when mon=0 and tues=0 and wed=0 and thur=0 and fri=0

over

case when convert (tinyint, mon) + convert (tinyint, tues)
+ convert (tinyint, wed) + convert (tinyint, thur)
+ convert (tinyint, fri) = 0

Sorry. I just don't really like the look of this particular query.

|||Yea I'm not able to get this to work I'm going to look into it more this has to be a common scenerio.|||

Mugambo's code will return NULL if one of the data fields is NULL for any day of the week. This code should always work because NULL's and 0's will be caught by the ELSE for each test and an empty string will be returned.

set nocount on

declare @.recurringEvent table
( eventName varchar (20) not null,
Mon bit,
Tues bit,
Wed bit,
Thur bit,
Fri bit
)

insert into @.recurringEvent values ('Ride Bus', 1,NULL,1,0,0)
insert into @.recurringEvent values ('Go to Classes', 1,0,1,1,0)
insert into @.recurringEvent values ('Sleep @. night', 1,1,1,1,1)
insert into @.recurringEvent values ('Feed Dog', 1,0,1,0,1)
insert into @.recurringEvent values ('Feed Gator', 0,0,0,0,0)

Select EventName,
Replace(RTrim(
Case When Mon = 1 Then 'M ' Else '' End
+ Case When Tues = 1 Then 'T ' Else '' End
+ Case When Wed = 1 Then 'W ' Else '' End
+ Case When Thur = 1 Then 'TH ' Else '' End
+ Case When Fri = 1 Then 'F ' Else '' End)
, ' ', ',')
From @.RecurringEvent

|||Ok I just kind of dont understand how to use the code?|||

Thanks for picking me up Matros; I knew I didn't like what I had but I was too busy to continue with it.

Ray,

The code posted here uses a table variable (which you won't need) so that the code can be tested. Table variable exist in memory only for the duration of the query, so no table structure changes occur. This means you can copy/paste the code, as is, in to a query window so you can run it and, more importantly, learn from it.

In your query, you will need to add this part...

Replace(RTrim(
Case When Mon = 1 Then 'M ' Else '' End
+ Case When Tues = 1 Then 'T ' Else '' End
+ Case When Wed = 1 Then 'W ' Else '' End
+ Case When Thur = 1 Then 'TH ' Else '' End
+ Case When Fri = 1 Then 'F ' Else '' End)
, ' ', ',') As WeekdayUsage

as though it were another field being returned from the query. Of course, this assumes that the bit field you use to store Monday usage is named Mon, and Tuesday's field is named Tue, etc..

If you continue to have problems implementing this solution, perhaps it would be best to post the existing query so that we may assist further.

I was playing around with the code, and I don't believe this is what I am trying to do let me explain a lil more.

I have a table that does a transportation schedule. It has Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, and Fri as bit data types so that I may have checkboxes on the front-end. I need to build a report in reporting services that will list the days attend like so:

Data Types:

Rec# int Not Null PK Indentity Seed

Name Varchar(25) Null

Pickup Varchar(25) Null

Time Smalldatetime Null

Mon Bit Null

Tues Bit Null

Wed Bit Null

Thurs Bit Null

Fri Bit Null

Report Ex:

Name: Pickup: Time: (Days Attend: "Virtual Column doesn't exist in database")

Bill Center City 9:00am (M,W "True Value in database is True or 1")

Robert West Ave. 9:30am (W,Th,F "True Value in database is True or 1")

Can I do a case statement for each, and cancatenate them to display together, also I need them all to display in the same column?

|||That is exactly what mastros' code does:

Replace(RTrim(
Case When Mon = 1 Then 'M ' Else '' End
+ Case When Tues = 1 Then 'T ' Else '' End
+ Case When Wed = 1 Then 'W ' Else '' End
+ Case When Thur = 1 Then 'TH ' Else '' End
+ Case When Fri = 1 Then 'F ' Else '' End)
, ' ', ',') As DaysAttend

The output of this will be a column called DaysAttend which has a value of "M,W".

|||

If I build a view for the report how would I use the code?

Select PickupTime, Vehicle#, Destination, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Fri

Replace(RTrim(

Case When Mon = 1 Then 'M ' Else '' End

+ Case When Tues = 1 Then 'T ' Else '' End

+ Case When Wed = 1 Then 'W ' Else '' End

+ Case When Thurs = 1 Then 'TH ' Else '' End

+ Case When Fri = 1 Then 'F ' Else '' End)

, ' ', ',') As DaysAttend
