model report - role attributes unavailable
In my report model project Im trying to use the attributes of an entity.
This entity has (a number of) subroles coupled to it, which all are available
in the ReportBuilder-app once I drag any entity ground-level attribute on to
the canvas.
Unfortunately Im not able to put out the attributes in the subroles even
though they are visible among the ReportBuilder entity-props so they are not
hidden or anything.
I can drag these role-attribs out, but the mousepointer changes to that
forbidden-sign-thingie when I drag them out. For some reaseon RB does not
want to cooperate here, and Im not able to figure out why.
Anybody recognize this and care to comment?
DavidI found the reason; the cardinality was set to optional-many in both
directions of the role.
changing it to be optional-many/optional-one resolved this.
Hope this helps someone else!

Mobile Device Database Develpment Problems
I read a lot of your post about the mobile device connecting SQL Server. I try to solve my problem, but i still in trouble of Mobile database application.
The following is my development enviroment
Visual Studio .net 2005
Sql Server 2005
Windows CE.Net 4.2
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.2
First i can run some simple application on the Mobile Device( Symbol MC9060G Mobile Device), all the connection between develop PC and Mobile Device is fine. All the develop SDK for the Mobile device without problem.
Secont, i can develop a simple normal windows database application, work fine, can get data from SQL Server 2005. the connection to database server is fine.
I used VS2005 develop a simple database with DataGrid on the form( all the code generated by the VS 2005), when run the program, got error at " int returnValue = this.Adapter.Fill(dataTable)"
error "PlatformNotSupportedException". I don't know what's going on.
I think the connection to the database no problem. Maybe the Mobile device has problem. I insatlled sql.ppc.wce4.armv4.cab file to mobile device.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks.
That usually means SQL Server database is setup with collation not supported on your device. E.g. you have English device and database uses Chinese collation. There are two ways to fix it:
1. Change collation of the database to whatever device supports.
2. Get device which supports collation of the database.
Another possible reason for that issues might be what some dependencies are missing in the OS image. You should contact device OEM in that case.
|||it is working, after Change collation of the database to Latin1.....
Thanks a lot

MMC Problem
Can anybody help me out plz?
When I tried to open Enterprise Manager of SQL server I'm
recieving this error message.
This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was
created by alater version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have
sufficient access rights to the file.
While IIS MMC and other MMC are working fine. Getting problem only with SQL
Server Enterprise Manager.
Thanx in advance.
Probably the easiest thing to do would be reinstall the SQL Client tools.
Rerun setup and just choose to install the client tools.

Mixed bag questions (only 13)
Hi everyone,
Ok guys, I’ve summarized doubts regarding SSIS as well as odd behaviour that sometimes I suffer for my lack of knowledge or for other reasons.
So this way, I’m a pain and bore individual only one time…
Question 1:
When you have a ForEach container, i.e using as enumeraton ADO and you are debugging and seeing how is going everything, whats tasks are executing and so on, you never knows if those that were in green (executed succesfully) now are executing again or not.
Well, I’ll try to explain better: In every iteration of the loop, tasks previously executed keep its colour (green) instead of turn into white.
Question 2:
Parameter Size property is a new property for Sql Task when you have installed sp2. Well, what is it for really? I mean I’ve got some .dtsx with Sql Tasks and its values are simply -1
Question 3:
When you’re debugging a dtsx you have in the bottom locals showing you variables and so on. Problems come when you have more than 40 variables… is there any search tool? Ok, you can use
Question 4:
Outline for the tasks is lost all the time. What a nuisance! Concretely it happens in workstations running either sp1 or sp2. Amazingly it works fine in a server (2003). Memory is not related, I’m afraid, in all the scenarios 2Gb.
Question 5:
Is it possible disallow math case for variables?
Sometimes when you’re using lots of variables, it’s easy commit errors when you write code.
Question 6:
Assemblies 1.0/1.1 will be allow in VSA in a future?
Question 7:
Is it possible to change the scope for a variable in run-time? Devious question, I admit…
Question 8:
When you’re writing a Script Task you can export the script into VB extension and then be imported from a project or whatever.
What does make sense?
Question 9:
ScriptTask_32dcba2feae9428386d768f38922e162 (that’s an example) is really stored anywhere? (When you save a script task inside the IDE)
Root NameSpace is too symbolic?
Question 10:
I’m developing against Windows 2003 english version. The whole Sql25k too. No spanish at all but sometimes I receive spanish messages related with SSIS.
I don’t understand how it can be.
Nothing to do with for the fact I’m using Terminal Server, I guess.
Question 11:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1518311&SiteID=1&mode=1
Question 12:
In a foreseeable future C# will be welcomed to SSIS?
Question 13:
Is it true that there is a separate Framework 2.0 for SSIS?
Thanks indeed for the patience!!!

What's the question? This has been discussed in a couple of threads. Because the dev environment responds to events from from the running package, it is possible that it will not reflect the exact order of execution. And if you have tasks in your loop that take sufficent time, you will notice that they do go to yellow while they execute, and then green again when they finish.

It's to allow you to specify the length of string parameters when they are output parameters from stored procedures. -1 is the default - it tells SSIS to use the defaults from the provider.

It's stored in the .dtsx package.

If you are refering to the .NET framework, it has it's own assemblies, but it still uses the same .NET framework as everything else.

Well there must be something on your machine that defines you as being Spanish. There MUST be. Otherwise how would it know? I think you can answer this one better than we can.

No. Variable names in SSIS are case sensitives so you have to deal with that.

Like John said, no you can't. If you want to put "stuff" into an assembly that can be shared between SSIS and other things...you need to build the assembly in Visual Studio, not in SSIS (or the SSIS Script Task).

Missing Resultset
I have a report where I pass a parameter to a stored procedure that then
returns a resultset to the report.
Everything works well apart from when I choose my *All option. If this *All
option is chosen no data is returned. If run the Dataset and enters the *All
option manually it returns data. If I capture what is sent to the SQLServer
and execute that in Query Analizer it returns data.If I run the report it
comes up empty no errors just no data.
If I run the report with any other option than the *All data is shown the
way it should.
Any Ideas?
Thanks.
Regards
JonasFound the error/mistake.
When you have a report parameter and want to use a Stored Procedure (that at
this stage are not able to recieve a parameter) RS automatically creates a
filter.
Once the filter were deleted everything worked.

Missing Program group
I have a server that was running SQL Server 2000 (on Windows 2000 server).
In preperation for an upgrade from an old SQL Server 6.5 system. I
un-installed 2000. I edited the registry to remove all references to SQL
Server and deleted all files.
I have run an install of 6.5. It seems to have worked all right except there
is no program groups on my start menu. Any ideas what might have happened?

Hmm, 6.5 is supported on Win2K but 7.0 is not on Win2K3. I would claim that
7.0 and SS2K are more similar to each other as well as Win2K and Win2K3 as
opposed to trying to compare Win NT 4 with either of the other OSes as well
as SS 6.5 with its counterparts.
Let's face it, 6.5 was an NT 4, even NT 3.51 technology.
Anyway, in your case, apparently not. I would still recommend you reimage
the OS before attempting to reinstall 6.5. I've even had trouble with the
6.5 tools on workstations after 7.0 component had been installed. Even if
removed, I had trouble appling 6.5 service packs.
Then, again, you could always recreate them manually-I think it would be
quicker to reinstall the OS.

Anthony Thomas

You are probably right that I need to rebuild the operating system. I was
hoping not to. I perhaps should have explained that i was installing 6.5
before installing 2000. The server is going to be used to upgrade some old
legacy 6.5 databases to 2000 so that we can finally get away from 6.5 and NT4.

components on that system. It would be a very valid test to start of with
configurations that your upgrade systems do not yet have on them.
However, I would recommend that you build new SS2K installations and then
use the Upgrade Wizard to migrate the data from one host to the next, NOT an
inplace upgrade. I have never had much luck with those and for the very
reason you are seeing now: too many old components and configurations
around. You would be better served starting fresh and just migrating the
contents. Then you can scrub the old box, rebuild it fresh for the next
migration.

Missing Program group
I have a server that was running SQL Server 2000 (on Windows 2000
server).
In preperation for an upgrade from an old SQL Server 6.5 system. I
un-installed 2000. I edited the registry to remove all references to
SQL Server and deleted all files. I have rebooted the server.
I have run an install of 6.5. It seems to have worked all right except
there is no program groups on my start menu. Any ideas what might have
happened?

No idea, but presumably you can easily create your own group and add
shortcuts to the various executables? You could even copy the group from
another machine, if you have one available.

Hmm, 6.5 is supported on Win2K but 7.0 is not on Win2K3. I would claim that
7.0 and SS2K are more similar to each other as well as Win2K and Win2K3 as
opposed to trying to compare Win NT 4 with either of the other OSes as well
as SS 6.5 with its counterparts.
Let's face it, 6.5 was an NT 4, even NT 3.51 technology.
Anyway, in your case, apparently not. I would still recommend you reimage
the OS before attempting to reinstall 6.5. I've even had trouble with the
6.5 tools on workstations after 7.0 component had been installed. Even if
removed, I had trouble appling 6.5 service packs.
Then, again, you could always recreate them manually-I think it would be
quicker to reinstall the OS.

Anthony Thomas

You are probably right that I need to rebuild the operating system. I was
hoping not to. I perhaps should have explained that i was installing 6.5
before installing 2000. The server is going to be used to upgrade some old
legacy 6.5 databases to 2000 so that we can finally get away from 6.5 and NT4.

components on that system. It would be a very valid test to start of with
configurations that your upgrade systems do not yet have on them.
However, I would recommend that you build new SS2K installations and then
use the Upgrade Wizard to migrate the data from one host to the next, NOT an
inplace upgrade. I have never had much luck with those and for the very
reason you are seeing now: too many old components and configurations
around. You would be better served starting fresh and just migrating the
contents. Then you can scrub the old box, rebuild it fresh for the next
migration.

Missing Program group
I have a server that was running SQL Server 2000 (on Windows 2000 server).
In preperation for an upgrade from an old SQL Server 6.5 system. I
un-installed 2000. I edited the registry to remove all references to SQL
Server and deleted all files.
I have run an install of 6.5. It seems to have worked all right except there
is no program groups on my start menu. Any ideas what might have happened?

components on that system. It would be a very valid test to start of with
configurations that your upgrade systems do not yet have on them.
However, I would recommend that you build new SS2K installations and then
use the Upgrade Wizard to migrate the data from one host to the next, NOT an
inplace upgrade. I have never had much luck with those and for the very
reason you are seeing now: too many old components and configurations
around. You would be better served starting fresh and just migrating the
contents. Then you can scrub the old box, rebuild it fresh for the next
migration.

You are probably right that I need to rebuild the operating system. I was
hoping not to. I perhaps should have explained that i was installing 6.5
before installing 2000. The server is going to be used to upgrade some old
legacy 6.5 databases to 2000 so that we can finally get away from 6.5 and
NT4.
