• SQL Server Execute Package Task behavior

  I’m using a For Loop container to with an Execute Package Task inside, looping until a folder is empty. I’ve noticed some strange behaviors: 1. The child package keeps creating new connections. I start with 3 connections to the DB and when the For Loop container is done I’ve got 364 connections. 2. The Execute Package Task is pulling the wrong version of the package I’ve specified.

Does anyone have a work-around for the ‘connection generation’ issue TIA ...Show All

• SQL Server New to MDX. Help Needed with a Calculation Definition in my SSAS 2005 Cube

  I'm new to MDX and I don't quite get the hang of it yet, so I'll try to provide all of the relevant information that I can so that you guys can help me. My company has a lot of "Rolling 12 Month" metrics and I've been able to incorporate all but a few in my SSAS 2005 cube.   By "Rolling 12", we refer to the 12-month period that ends with the previous month.  So all "Rolling 12" metrics reviewed in December 2005 refer to the period of December 2004 through November 2005. So for "Rolling 12 Month Invoices", I have the following calculation defined in my cube and it seems to be correct: SUM( LASTPERIODS ( 12, [Invoice Date].[Invo ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS 2005 WebService problem

  Hi hi. I'm trying to use the new WebServices in VSS2005. After fiddling around, reading through the forums and doing some more fiddling I've just given up. The problem is authentication. I can open the share from my computer, open the project from the share (with the non-internet version of the VSS plugin) and open the webservice url from my computer.
