Floating point exception

Hi guys,
what is the problem? how can I fix it?
DBCC INDEXDEFRAG (0, table1, 2)
Server: Msg 3628, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
A floating point exception occurred in the user process. Current transaction
is canceled.With all the problems you've been having, my suggestion would be to create
your database over again from scratch.

float vs decimal

select convert(float,'1.2334e+006')
1233400.0

select convert(decimal(20,2),'1.2334e+006')
Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.

Is there any way around?
Is there any set options? I tried arithabort or arithignore and they
don't work.
Thanks.(othellomy@.yahoo.com) writes:

1.2334e+006 is not a legal literal for decimal. You will have to convert
in two steps, first to float, then to decimal.

flatten out a normalized child table?

I need to extract Customer Order data, and join it to normalized ship-to
table so I can get their address on a single line/row of data. The Column
names are not importat in that final flat file, just what was in
row1,2,3,...6
GARY C Test Row1
LISA C Test Row2
816 RIVERVIEW PLACE Row3
WASHINGTON, MO 63090 Row4
Row5
Row6
THOMAS H Other-Test Row1
2102 N SHAMROCK RD Row2
BEL AIR, MD 21014 Row3
Row4 ,etc.
I have to account for double names names, and possibably titles, Suite #,
etc.
TIAPlease post DDL with your sample data. What is the key of the table you
posted? What relates the address lines together to make a single
address? Apparently nothing links an address together in the sketch you
posted except for the order in which you typed them out. We know that
tables have no fixed order so it isn't possible to combine the rows
reliably to make addresses out of each one.
If you had an additional column such as contact_name or contact_no for
each address line then you could do something like:
SELECT MAX(CASE WHEN row_num = 1 THEN addr END),
MAX(CASE WHEN row_num = 2 THEN addr END),
MAX(CASE WHEN row_num = 3 THEN addr END),
... etc
FROM your_table
GROUP BY contact_name ;
Hope this helps.

Flat file produced but need line returns

My Integration Services creates a flat file using OLE DB Source and then a Flat File Destination. The flat file is created from data from my data source with is just a table with many rows.

Each row in my flat file .txt is appended onto each other, there are no line returns after each record. How can I put in a return after each row in my flat file that is outputted from the Flat File Destination component in conjunction with the properties in my Flat File Connection Manager. What am I missing here in order to ensure each row from my table creates a carriage return in my .txt flat file?

The column separator for your last column need to be {CR}{LF}

HTH,
Ovidiu

|||

In my File Connection Manager, I have {CR}{LF} for the header row delimeter but it's not putting a return at the end of each row in my flat file still.

I do not have a header row since this is coming straight from the table so I don't understand why the requirement to specify header information in the File Connection Manager at this point but it is required.

So I'm not sure what else I'm missing, my flat file still doesn't return each row, it appends each row right after another still.

|||I see what you're saying, put

{CR}{LF}

in the column delimeter for the last column's properties, is this correct? If so, I can't that property is greyed out (because it doesn't need it when specifying a flat file) when I click on the last column in the Advanced Tab of the File Connection Manager.

I just don't see where to specify the row delimeters after looking at all the tabs.

Here's my flat file, still doesn't have carriage returns:

flat file destination -data all on one line

I have a flat file destination that Im sending data to, from an OLE DB data source. There are two records, but for some reason they are both going on the same line in the output. This is after setting the output to fixed width, from comma delimited.

Help ?

If you are viewing the flat file from a text editor, recheck the option on your editor to verify word wrap is not occurring. The file may be perfectly fine, it's the representation in the editor.|||

If you are using the pure FixedWidth format the row delimiter is not going to be inserted. It assumes all your columns are fixed width and it does not put any delimiters.

If you want to break your rows in new lines, choose the Fixed Width with Row Delimiters option at the time you create the flat file connection from the Flat File Destination. This will configure the connection to use the RaggedRight format and add a dummy column with the new line delimiter at the end. You should be able to do this manually as well, if you are changing an existing connection.

HTH.

Flat file (CSV) source format

I have a SSIS package loading a lot of CSV file, which first line is the column head. Some file are ordered differently. However, package still try to load the file use predefined column order (it seems it doesn't check the head of each file see if it matchs the predefined column order).

Any way to force the package the check each file's head? or I had to manually check it using VB.Net script?

No, the Flat File connection manager cannot adapt to dynamic file formats. You can workaround with script. These threads should be helpful.

You need the TOP modifier. eg.
SELECT TOP 1 Age AS lowest_age
FROM Persons
ORDER BY Age

FireEvent issues with Reporting Services

I am attempting to use the following command line (and associated script) to trigger an existing subscription within Reporting Services (2000):
command line:

rs.exe -i MyScriptFile.rss -s "MyReportServer/ReportServer"

The input scriptfile (MyScriptFile) contains the lines below where the scheduleID is taken from Reporting Services from an existing 'once only' schedule. The schedule, - when triggered - should fire off a subscription and email recipients with a particular existing report.

Sub Main
Dim rs As New ReportingService()
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
rs.FireEvent("TimedSubscription", "87206163-7665-4458-a86c-75b84cf18b2d")
End Sub

Unfortunately, it doesn't work and I almost always get the response:

Unhandled exception:
The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.

If I comment out the line rs.FireEvent( . . . from the script then the command line runs successfully. I can only conclude that there appears to be something wrong with this particular line.

Any ideas anyone?

Kev

Rs.exe takes care of creating the proxy to SSRS and doing authentication, so the first two lines of code (Dim RS & rs.Credentials) aren't actually necessary. The rest of your code looks fine, though.

You're saying that it sometimes does work?

Here are a few things to try:

- Can you check your Subscription ID to make sure it actually exists?

- Does this code work against a Subscription ID directly (in code) from a different (known good) subscription? (For example, see if this sample works: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.wssux.reportingserviceswebservice.rsmanagementservice2005.reportingservice2005.fireevent.aspx)

- FireEvent is the only method you're actually firing against the SOAP API...why don't you include another before you call FireEvent (something simple like ListChildren()) to make sure that the web service can do *any* work on your behalf.

- I've never seen someone specify the server name in their command-line w/o appending http:// first. This mean it won't work, I've just never seen it. Can you try something like this: rs.exe -i myFile.rss -s http://localhost/reportserver -u myDomain\myAccount -p myPassword ? Do this after you remove the first two lines of your code.

Let us know...good luck!

|||Russell, Thanks tremendously for the reply! I spent two whole days on this (without success) trying every variation I could think of.

Firstly, no the code in the original post has never worked; I've not been able to trigger anything. The Subscription ID definitely exists however: I highlighted it and copied it from within the Reporting Services address bar (in the Scheduling page) directly making sure I had it perfect. I did wonder whether it 'was' the intended ScheduleID but the address bar in the browser reads:

http://MyServer/Reports/Pages/Schedule.aspx?ScheduleID=87206163-7665-4458-a86c-75b84cf18b2d

. . . so I am assuming that I really 'do' indeed have the correct ScheduleID it's looking for (87206163-7665-4458-a86c-75b84cf18b2d)? Or is it? I've tried this with double quotes, without quotes, with single quotes all with no luck.

Secondly, the code below works perfectly indicating that the SOAP API will indeed do something for me:

rs.exe -i ListFormatExtensions.rss -s "MyServer/ReportServer"

with the following code in the ListFormatExtensions.rss file:

Sub Main
For Each Ext As Extension In rs.ListExtensions(ExtensionTypeEnum.Render)
Console.WriteLine(Ext.Name)
Next
End Sub

Strangely, ListChildren (as you suggested) didn't work at all? It failed with error BC30451: Name 'ListChildren' is not declared. I would assume that this is something perhaps due to the fact that I am using Reporting Services 2000 and not 2005? The actual failed code I used in the rss file was:

Sub Main
Dim rs As New ReportingService()
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
rs.ListChildren()
rs.FireEvent("TimedSubscription", "87206163-7665-4458-a86c-75b84cf18b2d")
End Sub
The server name also works either way I specify it with the ListFormatExtensions test. So both these code snippets work happily and there's no issue with username and password:

rs.exe -i ListFormatExtensions.rss -s "MyServer/ReportServer"
rs.exe -i ListFormatExtensions.rss -s http://MyServer/ReportServer

I tried the option you suggested (without the first two lines of code) which it didn't like:

Sub Main
FireEvent("TimedSubscription", "87206163-7665-4458-a86c-75b84cf18b2d")
End Sub

error BC30451: Name 'FireEvent' is not declared

. . . so I promptly put the first two lines back in.

I am still trying to figure out what you mean by - Does this code work against a Subscription ID directly (in code) from a different (known good) subscription? (For example, see if this sample works: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.wssux.reportingserviceswebservice.rsmanagementservice2005.reportingservice2005.fireevent.aspx)

The web address you gave simply takes me straight to the MSDN definition for FireEvent in Reporting Services 2005.

Kev

Hey Kev --

Even though you can remove "Dim RS", etc. you still use "rs.Whatever" in your code

This worked for me:

1. Created a new subscription off the Adventure Works - Company Sales report: Used the fileshare delivery extension because I don't have an SMTP server handy

2. Put it on a schedule that would not fire until 3 days from now

3. Executed select * from reportserver..subscriptions to get the Subscription ID

4. Threw code below in an RSS file:

Sub Main()

Try
rs.FireEvent("TimedSubscription", "E34849EE-63EE-4BF6-957F-55A9B1132DDB")
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
End Try

End Sub

5. In Report Manager, made sure that my user had "Generate Events" permissions (a system permission)

6. Executed the code with rs.exe -i c:\tryme.rss -s http://servername/reportserver

7. Checked my fileshare, found the report sitting there.

|||

Yes, make sure that you are using the subscription ID, as Russell is, and not the schedule ID that you said you were using.

-Daniel

|||

Guys, thanks for your input!! The problem is now sorted.

Unfortunately, I never gave a thought to the fact that I was running the rs.exe command on my own desktop and not the server on which Reporting Services is actually installed ! Dumb hey! When I put the file TriggerReport.rss on the report server and then ran the command to execute on the report server itself (using the psexec command):

psexec \\myserver rs.exe -i C:\TriggerReport.rss -s "http://myserver/ReportServer"

. . . it triggered the report immediately. The report promptly arrived in my email. I guess the lesson here is to stand back often and ask yourself if you're doing anything obviously stupid before blaming the code.

Kev
