Can't assign connection manager object to DataReader Source

I'm trying to create a DataReader source object using a working ADO.NET Oracle Client connection object that exists in the connection manager.

Problem:

When I open the editor the DataReaderSrc component shows only one row under the Connection Managers tab:

Name=IDbConnection
Connection Manager=blank
Description=Managed connection manager

I cannot assign the ADO.NET connection (or any connections). I see a warning at the bottom of the Connection Managers tab:

"Not all connection managers have been set. Set all connection managers."

When I click refresh the warning message changes to:

"The runtime connection manager with the ID "" cannot be found. Verify that the connection manager collection has a connection manager with that ID."

I am prevented from removing the IDbConnection or assigning my Connection Manager object to the DataReader Source.

Thanks, -- Mike

I also have the same problem, I'm sure it must be some tiny detail somewhere / something very basic, but I have been unable to fix it. Can someone help? Thanks!

I had the same problem because I was using the wrong Provider when specifying my Data Source.

Hope it helps,

I had the same problem. In my case the 'advanced editor for datareader source' is very, very confusing. First of all, you have to create a connection manager, which I did already. But, it was not at all intuitive that you have to click on the box under 'connection manager' and select a connection manager. By default the box is black and grayed out like both the other fields which you cannot change. Gee, thanks redmond.

|||Thanks for taking the time to post this answer. I finally learned this last week at a SQL Server training class. The instructor pointed out that you actually need to change the disabled looking box.|||

Hello.

I read that you found a solution, but I didn't understand it very well.

Could you tell me more how to resolve this problem. I have create the connection manager and a cant set it into the DataReader Source

Thank you.

Data Reader source accepts connection manager of Type ADO.NET only.

so First you have to create a Connection Manager to your Data Base using ADO.net Provider ONLY.

open the advanced editior of data reader source, go to connection managers tab, you will see IdbConnection , beside that there will be another column named connection manger, select your created connection manager there (ADO.Net one). Then go to Component properties tab and in sql command enter your sql query. go to columns mapping tab ..now you can see your columns.

|||thank you for your reply. i resolve the problem.|||

hello,

i thought that I resolve the problem of the connection but there was another problem that didn't permit me to save the connection to the advanced editor.

the error is "Component is already connected. The component needs to be disconnected before attempting to connect it."

Can you help me?

Cannot Set Connection String For Bulk Insert Source Connection

I came across something strange today. I was wondering I was doing something wrong.

I want to go through a directory and get files and assign the Fully Qualified File Name to a User Variable. I want to use that variable as a connection string within Expression in Bulk Insert Task Source Connection, Data Flow Task and File System Task. It is working fine within Data Flow Task and File System task. It is NOT working for Bulk Insert. Did you come across this or am I doing something wrong?

- Expressions
ConnectionString @.[User::FileName]

Did anyone come across this before?

Thanks

Sutha

Seems to be a problem to me, it does not work within the context of a for each loop, keep getting the error message, connection not valid.

I have written this script and placed it into an activex task before the bulk insert, this seems to fix it.

Dim connmgr As ConnectionManager = Dts.Connections("[your connection name]")
connmgr.ConnectionString = Dts.Variables("User::filename").Value.ToString()
connmgr.AcquireConnection(Nothing)

Hope this helps !

Mark|||

Cheers Mark. It does work fine. I put a script task inside Foreach, just before Bulk Insert to set the connections.

Still thinks its a Bug. Anyone from MS can confirm it. If so do you want me to raise a Bug for this?

Thanks for your help

Hello Sutha,

I am trying to achieve the same. Can you help me.

Foreach loop container is reading all the files in the specified folder.

I can also read the variable. But I am having difficulties in assiging this variable file name to Bulk Insert, connection, Source connection.

thanks & regards

radha.

|||I could not reproduce this issue.

1. I could set the value of the "SourceConnection" property to the name of the connection I want to use in my bulk insert task and it works.

2. I can also assign the value of the "ConnectionString" property of the connection to a variable that points to the file and it works.

I am having same issue:

Simple package: Foreach Loop, inside ForEach Loop is a Bulk Insert Task.

I set the variable User::FileName in the variable Mappings of the Foreach Loop. I create a FlatFile connection in connection manager and go into the Expressions of the flat file connection and set the ConnectionString to be @.[User::FileName]. I set the connection in the Bulk Insert to be the Flat file connection I created and I run the package... I get the error: "The specified connection "XYZ Files" is either not valid, or points to an invalid object. To continue, specify a valid connection." Its very reproduceable.

Been fighting with this all day... can someone post step-by-step how to do the workaround where the script sets the connection?
