  I'm getting exceptionally poor performance from the Slowly Changing Dimension transformation.  I get thousands & thousands of buffer manager info msgs when I use it.  My machine isn't memory constrained, nor is the SQL Server.  SSIS seems more obliged to spit out these msgs than actually do any work when I use the SCD.  Any ideas Information: 0x4004800C at Provider3, DTS.Pipeline: The buffer manager detected that the system was low on virtual memory, but was unable to swap out any buffers. 26 buffers were considered and 26 were locked. Either not enough memory is available to the pipeline because not enough is in ...Show All

• .NET Development Inconsistent InvalidCastException and FormatException errors

  Recently we have started getting InvalidCastException and FormatException errors on 3 clients out of > 100 that are in use. We believe it is caused by the upgrade of our application from .Net 1.1 to .Net 2.0. In one case we get the following message - System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from string "0" to type 'Integer' is not valid. ---> System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
