You can use the list down all tables in specific database with this query

select TABLE_NAME from information_schema.tables where Table_Type = 'BASE TABLE'

Nolock is T-Sql hint, That used to ignore the locks on table during transactions. It allows retrieving data and did not wait to complete the transaition applied on table. It has some pros can cons

Pros:

• NoLock provides significant improvements on large table, where upserts commands take time.
• You can retirve data during the same time while others are performing Insert and update on table.

Cons:

• Possibility of data that was partially updated or inserted, because you retrieve data during update or insert on table.
• It often results in very obscure, hard to reproduce bugs and can cause data to get corrupted.

There will be change possible of server name at connection strings, file paths when deploying SSIS packages  in production and same issue appears  when ssis package will go from development environment to QA server for testing. So what is workaround.  SSIS configuration wizard allow us to generate configuration settings for  connection string and properties of other objects. And this allows us to update these settings at run time at any place, dev, QA or Production.

Benfites

• This way we can resolve the connection strings on runtime.
• Easily update the application on different server without redeploying the application.
• Change the behavior of Package at runtime, by update the configuration settings of variables.

Let see how we can do this

Open the package for which you want to generation configuration

Check the enable button.

Click on enable button. To start Wizard

From the above configuration type dialogue box, Specify the configuration type and then set the property types relevant to the configuration type.

Configuration type source can be

• XML Configuration file
• Environment Variable
• Registry Entry
• SQL server

Specify the configuration file name and then say next then you will get the following dialogue box
Select the object and properties you want in configuration file.

Press next and then press finish button.

 

You can open the created file with extension “dtsConfig” in notepad, notepad++ , visual studio or any text editor supports xml to update the required filed.

 

Configurations are included in when you create package deployment utility for Installing packages.

I face an error while creation file location at my personal computer for

Could not store transport type data for Primary Transport of Send Port ‘SendPort1′ to config store. Primary SSO Server ‘ALIRAZA-PC’ failed. Cannot perform encryption or decryption because the secret is not available from the master secret server. See the event log (on computer ‘ALIRAZA-PC’) for related errors.
(Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM)

After doing google i found following solution.

REASON:
——-
Maybe someone had reset the service account password or any other cause.

———
SOLUTION:
———

If you get this SSO error:
Cannot perform encryption or decryption because the secret is not available from the master secret server, do the following steps:
1. Open command prompt:
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\enterprise single sign-on\
type: ssoconfig -restoresecret SSO9F54.bak (the sso back up file created at the time of biztalk configuration)
3) Give the valid password

4)On success, type: ssoconfig -backupsecret latestbackup.dat
Give a password, and perform them successfully to take the backup of latest sso config file.

There are two ways to get content of message specified filed directly in BizTalk in message.

Distinguished fields and Promoted property.

Distinguished fields/properties

When you need to access  the content of filed only in orchestration level prefer Distinguished fields. Distinguished fields are xpath equivalent and these xpath stored insisted XSD.  Due these fields are xpath equivalent these are light weight. There are no restriction of size of filed.  There is common practice to use Distinguished properties instead of xpath, if any change in namespace of any schema, all xpath on the schema used in orchestration are lost. If you used distinguished properties then on update of target namespace all , distinguished proprieties also update and there will no change in orchestration.

When to use distinguished fields:

If you make decision, read values, update values of any message inside the orchestration Use distinguished properties.

Promoted Properties:

When required value of filed at port level then used Promoted properties. These Usually used for Routing purposes. When we promoted any field in Schema, these fields stored in separated Schema, known as Property schema. These have performance over head, due to these promoted values stored in Message box.  There is also restriction on Size of promoted properties the field size should not be exceed more the 256 character.

When to use Promoted Properties:

- Routing

- Tracking

- Correlating

- Driving built in pipeline component behavior

In my personal machine, I installed the ii7, same time I required XAMP for php, Problem is that ii7 and apache server both occupied the same port 80 by default. Apache is stop running on my machine. So I decide to change the default port of XAMP to something else I follow the following steps to fix this issue.

• Stop the XAMP server.
• httpd.conf” is the file where apache configuration are placed.
• Open the <drive>:\xampp\apache\conf folder and edit the httpd.conf” file.

• In Configuration file at line 47 you find the port 80 mentioned.
• Listen 80

• o Change this to Listen 8082
•  Now goes to Line 178  ServerName localhost:80

• Change it to ServerName localhost:8082
• Save the config file and restart the XAMPP server.
• Hope fully this solve the problem.

Use following Code

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(@"d:\simpleTabDelimeterFile.txt");
                StreamWriter outputFile = new StreamWriter(@"d:\out.txt");
                string strline = "";            

                string[] _values = null;
                while (!sr.EndOfStream)
                {
                    strline = sr.ReadLine();
                    _values = strline.Split('\t');
                    if( _values.Length == 3 )
                    {
                        strline = _values[0] + '\t' + _values[1] + '\t' + _values[2];
                        outputFile.WriteLine(strline);
                    }
                }
                sr.Close();
                outputFile.Close();

Too the point, opens your Reporting Services project in BIDS and add report menu.  The database is used in report can be download from here

http://tsql.solidq.com/books/tsqlfund2008/

Select new report like as

After creating new report you have to add new dataset form data source panel.

In Dataset Properties window you have to use dataset from already created and shared dataset or create new one which is embedded into you report, I select the embedded option.

For data source I used already created and shared data source for local instance of Sql server

I add the following Query for report creation.

SELECT P.productId,p.Productname,p.CategoryId,P.unitPrice,c.categoryId, c.categoryName,s.companyname,s.ContactName,s.Address,s.City FROM production.products as p
INNER JOIN production.Suppliers s

ON p.supplierid = s.supplierid

INNER JOIN Production.Categories c
ON C.categoryId = p.categoryId

Add a new table on report designer area

Right click on report design area and Table form . and drop fields like follow.

When I click on preview button, I found following report.

Now on design pane. Right click on report and add new parent group as

Select CategoryName as Group header.

Now go at the bottom of report

Select the visibility selection from Group and select display options as follow.

Press ok and click on preview button, Report should be look like as

Now click on + sign The report will open like as

Nice starting point cheers
