I have an issue in SSIS in the dependence restriction. I am trying to import data from an excel file. I have used the EXCEL FILE, that it is connected to a derived column. After we have the UNION ALL component. Everytime I try to assign one column to the Account column it throws an error telling the metadata...
if I click in the restriction dependence between the UNION ALL component and the DERIVED COLUMN component IT shows that account is not mapped... but in the source (excel source component) it is mapped!!! it is driving me mad.
why i cannot add the account in this table?! to the source column? i HAVE TRIED to remove and recreating everything again... same problem again. I even opened a new package to test.. driving me mad.
does it make sense that the solution was to COPY one good excel source and then just change the new sheet? If I created from root with a new excel source it would throw always the previous errors. So it was just to copy the excel source that was working and then just changing to the desired (new) sheet. and it worked this way. Reset the metadata seems to be flick in SSIS. I would like if someone could share a secure way to do it!

Do not seem to be able to find any place in the portal or Report Builder where I can actually edit the connect string & creds.
Report Manager shows the XML, but that really is it.
Disk files (from the looks of it) are no longer present in high versions (using SQL 2016/2017).
Is there a known location anywhere in GUI, or maybe direct edits in the SQL Server repository?
I can't even delete a shared source anymore, only view or test the connection.
If anybody could post a screenshot, it'll be highly appreciated.
EDIT: Just found out - when I create a new Data Source, it's editable; the imported data sources are not.
There are two ways of doing this. You can set the 'overwrite datasource' option in the project properties.
Or, you can got to the report portal , show hidden items in the view menu and there is a folder called "data sources". Open this and you will see all data sources, from there you can edit and save changes. All reports that use that datasource will be affected.
Hi I'm looking for help with the following issue:
In TFS on our SSRS report server whenever I run any of the out the box Sprint Burndown reports the report seems to run successfully but I get the following error in the bottom right hand corner:
Through some research I found that the issue was due to the field definitions in that particular Collection not matching the other collections that we have in TFS. Simple...
In order to determine which field definition in the collection was the issue I used the witadmin command listfields for all of my collections:
witadmin listfields /collection:Collection /n:Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ReviewedBy
This led me to find that the Synchronizes Identity Name Changes definition in the collection mentioned in the TF293000 error was set to a value of true, while it is false in all of my other collections. Issue Found! Should be easy from here...wrong.
The following command should solve my problem:
witadmin changefield /collection:Collection /n:Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ReviewedBy /syncnamechanges:false
*of course with the proper collection url subbed in for the word Collection
However when run and after I confirm that I want to make the change I get the following error:
TF401327: The operation is not supported. The feature is obselete.
I look the error up and it takes me to this page TFS Known Issue which tells me it's a known issue but was resolved in update 1 ... we have update 3.
I then attempted to simply edit the WIT .xml file and update the attribute for that WIT on that collection with false, but when I import the change to the server it tells me it has imported successfully however when I export it I see that the file has not changed.
I have also tried copying the the .xml file from the same WIT in another collection and uploading that to the offending collection and that will not work. I've never had an issue with uploading a WIT as we've made several changes to our TFS workflow before. I'm pretty stuck at this point and just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue before, thanks!
According to the error info, seems there is a conflict in the TFS Data warehouse and this because 2 fields in different collection has different attributes in the data warehouse as it’s only one data warehouse. To avoid schema conflicts when you export and process data to the data warehouse databases, you must assign the same values to these attributes across all collections:
Field type (the value for this field cannot be changed for an
existing field).
Reporting type.
Reporting name.
What you have done is the correct operation, change/update the attribute for the field in one project collection to match the assignments that are made in other project collections.
You could try to narrow the issue, if this issue only happened on that specific field in the team project collection. All other work item filed working correctly? Also give a try with other collections, such as change the syncnamechanges=true, then set it back to syncnamechanges=false, to see if any issue occurs.
Run the command line on TFS sever machine instead of your develop machine. Clear TFS cahce. And if the filed is not use for reporting about those project collections, you could also try to mark it as non-reportable. More details please refer below links:

I am working with Access 2003 and I need to change the filepath for a Query. I am working on a database that I did not create and basically my workflow is using Excel to populate a list (file names and info about photos)
Then I go back to Access and in Query's I have an option for "Append Results" which will update my database with my new information that has been loaded into Excel.
I get an error saying that the filepath is wrong. I know the correct filepath and this is a correct error, I just can't find where to update the query so I can change the filepath. I did a couple of googles and used microsoft help but figured it might be faster to ask in here.
Thank you,

It sounds like the workbook is linked to Access as a linked table. Sort your objects by type, and try and open each linked table until one fails. Then drop the link, and re-create it to the correct spreadsheet with the same table name.
To do this, you first backup the *.mdb (in case you get it wrong) and then just delete the link, like you would delete a table. Next you need to right Click on any table => Import Spreadsheet => Go to your spreadsheet and untick the box that says 'Import into database' (or something similar, I don't have access to Access (ha!) at the minute to test), this will give you a link to the spreadsheet, as opposed to actually copying it as a table, then rename it so it is the same name as the original link.
I guess as an alternative you could remap the drives so that, on machines where this needs to run, the old I: drive is mapped back to I:, and the same for H:.
I've created a new SSRS project, and added a shared data source. When I run the project, I get the expected result succesfully.
However, when I try to deploy the report I get:
Error: Cannot deploy the report because the shared data source '/Data Sources/DataSource1' that the report references does not exist on the report server.
I'm guessing I am missing something very simple and critical because I am a complete beginner.
What am I doing wrong?
First, deploy the data source:
Then, deploy any necessary shared datasets:
Now, you'll be able to deploy or run your report.
If trying to deploy dataset but still getting this error...
I have discovered that if you change the name of the shared data source after you have already created a corresponding shared dataset, then the "DataSourceReference" property in the dataset does not change accordingly, is not be editable via the wizard, and it will throw this misleading error.
On the shared dataset, right-click and go to "Open With..." --> "XML (Text) Editor".
There you will see the raw configuration file. Make sure the <DataSourceReference> node has the proper value...
Scenario: You've decided to use a Shared Dataset on your report but you haven't used it. Make sure to select the proper datasets for this issue.
Answer with steps:
On the Report Data tab on your SSDT double click the Datasets(not the one with the folder sign). It'll open the Dataset Properties.
- when the Dataset properties is open make sure to select a Dataset that your report is suppose to use.
-press OK.

I am new to SSIS. I have a problem. i get data from two different data sources. I am able to merge them using Merge Component and feed the output to a Script component where i validate data and move it to the destination. Every thing is working fine. I want it to work when we add some extra columns in any sources.
The problem is when i add extra columns in source, i should add the input columns in the script component(check the ckeck boxes in Input Columns). Is there any way to do this?
Plz help
Try adding the new column to the source, open the package and then follow the flow through. You will have to go into subsequent controls including the merge control to refresh the data with this new field.
SSIS will prompt you with the exclamation mark at each stage where a refresh is mandatory(such as source control), although you will have to manually step through the flow components (such as merge) where a column output is optional.
For example, I added cost as a new column to the basic ole db source below
and after updating the source control, I have the opportunity to add it to the script component as you mention - but it is not mandatory for me to do so
the new field should be available in the sort component, even if its not used within the script control. You will however need to tick the field as a pass through on the sort control to get it into the merge component
