    Powerplay server stops

    Same thing happened here with PPES 7.1. We had an scheluded self-build script that was stopping and restarting service. We quit using that and it seem to help. But I still suspect the real reason was the defragmentation software running in backgroung all times. I think the software was...

    Line Comment

    I've noticed this too. If the expression on the left of -- can be implicitily converted as a number, or is a number (see below), TD might interpret -- as "minus unaryminus expression", which is of course same as plus. SELECT 8+12 --4 This problem can be avoided by having always an extra...

    Newbie to DTS - Email text contents

    If you have IIS running on sql server machine, you can easily send self-formatted SMTP mail messages within ActiveX task (search forum), so no Exchange configuration circus. Some settings might be needed on IIS to make it work, but normally it works out-of-the-box, of course some settings on DNS...

    Showing latest inventory levels as a measure

    Last period will work, but in the Time-tab on the levels of the time dimension you must uncheck "Generate all categories in the period" (and clear your present time categories you might have in the model). Then you won't have the Friday in your cube at all if you don't have any data for it. And...

    Cube Build time

    I think it also depends on hardware setup (and on manufacturer), it might be that on the same machine raid1 wouldn't be significantly better. But your 73 mins, as other members stated, is the overall time that oracle answers, gets the result set, sends it over network and Transformer saves the...

    Converting date and week # to monday date?

    If you were using European week standard (International Organization for Standardization), and your year states the "year of the week" instead of calendar year, you can get Monday with the following, no matter what DATEFIRST setting you have, there's example data. Works with years greater than...

    Cube Build time

    I thougt you got it that I was exaggurating a little :) However 100-300 Meg cubes are not that rare. I understand and couldn't agree more that OLAP is not made for several dimensions heving ten-thousands of lowest-level categories. But what can you do, when the customers want to buy such...

    Cube Build time

    First, you should have a summary table/view in the database in that case that your big table is of transactional nature and/or itself is not summed up to the lowest-level of the dimensions. I know it might not be "easy" to have dba to provide such a summary table, but at least ask for a view...

    Calling a stored procedure from DTS

    And besides SqlTask I think you also can put EXEC proc as source sql, so you get the result set data to be transformed to destination. Cheers Backup system is as good as the latest recovery

    Help using RegExp in a column Transformation

    Can't say about your code but if it's a syntax issue the following example works (it is not a transformation), maybe you get some help out of it. Of course, you need VBScript.RegExp library on our computer. Function RegExpTest(patrn, strng) Dim regEx, Match, Matches ' Create variable...

    How to set source and target externally.

    It is possible to relay information with Global variables, and change the source / dest databases with Dynamic Properties Task. But there is no easy way, you have to modify you packages quite a lot and know what you are doing. How about saving packages as vb files, search/replace database names...

    Filter/Suppress Category in Transformer

    Well you always have the total amount in dimension level by design, so the users are able to figure out how much the other depts combined measure amount is (total-dept01). There is no way around this, cubes overall sum is alwayd the same, no matter what categories are visible or not. You could...
