• SQL Server DataStage Vs SSIS

  Hi, We are in a process of migrating a process running in Ascential Data Stage to SSIS. The database server is ORACLE 9i. We need samples/guide on the following datastage equivalent features. 1. Calling a function/script/routine from task's Data Flow transformer as Before/After Stage event. 2. Complex XML parsing and loading into sequential files. 3. Creating a batch & based on the condition calling the tasks. For example, if condition=YES then call task 'A' or call task 'B'. 4. Any shared container concept.

• SQL Server Cube deployment hangs

  Hi, SQL2005 RTM I work with offline cubes projects. When I change the cube dimensions, it sometimes happen that the deployment hangs. The deployment is set not to process the cube. Then When I look into the Analysis services service status, I see that it is stopped! I can sometimes get out of it by restarting the service or if really bad, restart the server, then the deploy works. What's that Philippe Make sure first you have SP1 installed. It contains some important bug fixes. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=CB6C71EA-D649-47FF-9176-E7CAC58FD4BC&displaylang=en ...Show All

• Visual C++ c++ language help

  hello! i am new to this forum and also to this Development tool by Microsoft. I want to know what is the procedure to access help to different funtions.  as in Borland c++ help menu provides.

• SQL Server Processing SCDs in bulk

  I read another post. I'm hoping I'm just doing something wrong, and that the SSIS team wouldn't have done this: I read in a batch of records that should cause changes in an SCD in some cases. The table is empty originally. In the wizard, its handling changing attibutes ,fixed and historical. 3 records in ( all with the same business key) = 3 records out In this case, it should only produce 1 record. Are you kidding me There must be a way to set the batch size to 1, right Are they all going down the "new" output I see your point. Not all of them are new are they and I as ...Show All
