Problem importing data from Interbase using DTS

Hi im trying to import a old Interbase 6 database using MSSQL 2000 DTS
import wizard.
Im using Firebird / Interbase 1.5 ODBC driver as provider for the Interbase.
Everything works perfect if i choose to import one table at a time. But if i
choose 2 or more the wizards excutes the DDL (tables ar created) then it
just locks up. No error, just no progress. I have tried other ODBC provider
but with the exact same result.
Any idea why the DTS Data Iimport wizard locks up?
Thanks in regards
Anders, Denmark
Hi
If the ODBC driver does not return control to DTS, DTS looks like it has
hung.
That indicates a problem with the driver as not with DTS.
This problem does not occur with Oracle, Access or SQL Server drivers.

Strange. Do you know of any Interbase ODBC provider wich is "compatible"
with DTS import?
I have tried:
EasySoft ODBC for interbase
XTG ODBC for interbase
FireBird / Interbase ODBC for interbase
IBProvider ODBC for interbase
All with the same result. Creates DDL then hang when starting to convert
data, if one table is choosen it works perfectly.
Suggestions to ODBC drivers?

|||Hi Anders,
I am using the Gemini Firebird / Interbase ODBC Driver for exactly what you
are trying to do. We're slowly converting all our clients from Interbase to
SQL Server. I use this driver for a DTS package which pulls about 80 tables
from Interbase source into our SQL Server target database. However, I use an
individual Transform Data task for each table. It's a nightmare to maintain
as we evolve the database structure but it runs really nicely, with multiple
TD tasks executing in parallel.

Hope this helps,

We try to create views on the IB database wich match our new tablestructure
seems quite maintainable not sure though. Anyway. I have already tried with
the Gemini ODBC driver...same results. Its real strange. Because everything
else works.
|||Which Task are you using to transfer the data?
It sounds like you're issuing SQL to insert into X select * from Y? This is
conveniently maintained, but you can't do this with the Data Pump. Or can
you?

Problem deploying data processing extension

I have developed a data processing extension that extends an ADO.NET
provider so that it works with reporting services. That is, it works in the
designer, but when I try to deploy the application, I run into a little
problem.
It loads my wrapper (the actual extension) just fine, but then the log
reports a failure to load the dependency dll. (The ADO.NET provider that my
wrapper extends.)
I'm sure what I need to do is somehow setup the rssrvpolicy.config file so
that it provides correct permissions to both my wrapper and the dependency,
but I cannot find ANY documentation that explains how to do this sort of
thing.
Here is the relevant portion of my config file:
<CodeGroup class="UnionCodeGroup"
version="1"
PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
Name="FusionWareCodeGroup"
Description="Code group for FusionWare Direct Reporting Services Provider">
<IMembershipCondition class="UrlMembershipCondition"
version="1"
Url="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting
ervices\ReportServer\bin\FusionWare.DirectADO.ReportingServicesProvider2005.dll"
/>
<IMembershipCondition class="UrlMembershipCondition"
version="1"
Url="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting
Services\ReportServer\bin\FusionWare.DirectADO.dll" />
</CodeGroup>
</PolicyLevel>
</policy>
</security>
</mscorlib>
</configuration>
Note that I've tried to tell it about the second dependency but this is not
working and may, in fact be invalid. I've tried every imaginable
combination to get this going, including multiple CodeGroup elements, but I
still get the following error every time:

Any help would be appreciated!I hate it when I find a question that matches something I'm looking for but
don't see a response, so I'll post my own response:
First a better explanation of the problem:
I have a DPE that extends another dll (an ADO.NET provider).
Designer always worked, but CAS under SSRS would not load the underlying dll
due to permissions. Here is what I had to do to fix it:
First, I had to change the underlying assembly (not the DPE itself) to
Assert FullTrust rights and the right to run for a PartiallyTrusted caller:
In the underlying dll's AssemblyInfo.cs file I added this line:
[assembly: System.Security.AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers()]
Then, for any class that would get called at run-time I added the following
at the top:
using System.Security.Permissions;
and decorated the class itself with this line:
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.Assert, Name="FullTrust")]
Then, I had to modify the rssrvpolicy.config file. The tricky part here is
that there are two levels of CodeGroup elements.
There is a top level CodeGroup element that contains a bunch of CodeGroup
elements inside it. The top level default one says that anything you run
into has no permissions. Then inside it, you define exceptions - things
that are allowed to run with various permissions. I had to add a CodeGroup
element that granted my *underlying* dll FullTrust. It looked like this:
</NamedPermissionSets>
<CodeGroup
class="FirstMatchCodeGroup"
version="1"
PermissionSetName="Nothing">
<IMembershipCondition
class="AllMembershipCondition"
version="1"
/>
<!-- Added by RHOU -->
<CodeGroup class="UnionCodeGroup"
version="1"
PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
Name="FusionWareBaseCodeGroup"
Description="Code group for FusionWare Direct ADO.NET Provider">
<IMembershipCondition class="UrlMembershipCondition"
version="1"
Url="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting
Services\ReportServer\bin\FusionWare.DirectADO.dll" />
</CodeGroup>
The normal entry, as documented, for my DPE had to be a new, top-level
CodeGroup element. In otherwords, unlike the one I added above, it was a
sibling of the top-level CodeGroup element, not a child of it. It looked
like this, btw:
</CodeGroup>
</CodeGroup>
</CodeGroup>
<!-- Added by RHOU -->
<CodeGroup class="UnionCodeGroup"
version="1"
PermissionSetName="FullTrust"
Name="FusionWareCodeGroup"
Description="Code group for FusionWare Direct Reporting
Services Provider">
<IMembershipCondition class="UrlMembershipCondition"
version="1"
Url="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting
Services\ReportServer\bin\FusionWare.DirectADO.ReportingServicesProvider2005.dll"
/>
</CodeGroup>
This combination worked both in SSRS 2005 and the equivalent in SSRS 2000.
I find it interesting that a non DPE had to be defined as part of the
default CodeGroup (nested in it), while the DPE had to be defined separately
from the default CodeGroup. If I moved either CodeGroup element to where
the other was the whole house of cards fell down.
I find that information about how CAS works is really hard to find,
incomplete and contradictory. I also find the complete lack of diagnostic
tools to let me see what permissions were requested, allowed/denied, when
and by whom, is a huge deficit. This is far too important to be left in
this "WAG" condition! Just my thoughts...
FWIW, it worked for me!
