SSIS + Excel Vs_needsnewmetadata error - excel

I'm working in a project to load data from sqls erver into an excel file.
When working in my local machine, the package I'm working on is working perfectly.
However when I do a deployment I'm getting the error : failed validation and returned validation status "vs_neednewmetadata"
I'm using SSIS 2012 and Excel 2016
Any help will be appreciated
Thank you

This issues is always very complex to figure out.
Still when you have like this issue try to find if your sources or destinations have changed but not your deployed package. Indeed, when you update your connection tables DB or files please be sure that you deploy again
Also, you have to be carefull when you work with script component do not copy/past this component from others packages otherwise you will get the metadata error and you cannot resolve it.
In my case, the issue I had was related to destination Excel file. I have changed this file like erasing some lines, but I do not change its structure and I missed to copie this one in the server.
That mean event the changes are minor and do not affect the structure of the destination file, you have to update your server version file with the one you use in dev.

Azure Functions Core tools suddenly stopped working

I was in the middle of working on some minor code changes when all of a sudden I started getting the following error on startup:
A host error has occurred during startup operation '78d5d8fd-e81c-4707-87ca-6b801430fef1'.
[2021-01-08T13:02:40.279Z] System.IO.FileSystem: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\schiefaw\AppData\Local\AzureFunctionsTools\Releases\3.17.0\workers'.
I looked at the path and found everything exists until I get to "workers".
I, of course, assumed it was something I did, so I backed out all changes to no effect. Then I uninstalled visual studio and all Azure products I could find and reinstalled to no effect. I created a new user (since the file it is looking for is in my user folder) to no effect.
I then created an entirely new instance of a windows virtual machine and installed the development environment to no effect (same error).
I am completely stuck on this. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try next?
Thanks!
I think this is a bug from that 3.17 release. But here is a work-around: you can add the "workers" folder (empty folder) and it should work. Another way if you have a copy of the previous version (such as 3.16.x), you can copy the content to the 3.17.0 one.

Excel TFS Add-In Crashes Connecting to TFS

We frequently use Excel to perform bulk updates of data in TFS. Up until very recently, the Team Foundation Add-In has worked very well. However, it has started failing in several ways:
It will connect to the server, but attempting to connect to any
project causes Excel to crash, producing a Watson report in the
Windows Application Event Log.
If I restart Excel, it reports that it is running into problems with
both the shim and the add-in, and offers to disable it. If I do not
disable it, I still can't connect to a project.
Eventually, the add-in refuses to load at all, until I use the
Options dialog to manually add the COM add-in back into the
application. Doing so produces the same results (Excel crashes when
attempting to load a project).
I have taken the following steps in an attempt to resolve the issue:
Removed and completely reinstalled Office.
Re-registered the add-in component.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Team Foundation Office Integration.
None of these have produced a fix to the issue.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
P.S. If this is not the correct "stack" for this question, kindly point me to the correct one on the exchange. Thank you.
If you are reading the accepted answer and it still isn't working, here's an additional tip. I had the EXACT same problem and saw that same link to clear the cache from numerous sites, bit it didn't work.
Here's the thing. I don't think that article lists ALL of the places that cache can be hiding on your machine. I deleted the cache folder in two different places on my machine and had given up on that as a solution.
Then I searched my entire hard drive for any folder with "Team Foundation" in the name and found a couple more buried in other hierarchies. Deleting these FINALLY solved the problem.
Here are some folders to look for, but like I said, check the entire drive
c:\users\yourlogin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation
c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft shared\Team Foundation Server\
c:\users\yourlogin\AppData\Local\Temp\Microsoft\Team Foundation
The actual cache folder will be nested another level deep under a numbered folder named with something like "7.0" or "8.0" delete the cache folder from every one you find under every number.
In general cleaning the caches on your client machine will resolve such problems, including the TFS and VS caches...
To clean the caches, please see How to clear the TFS cache on client machines

Excel Data Load using SSIS - Memory used up error

I am trying to load data to an excel file using SSIS Package. Please find below the details
Source : SQL Server Table
Destination : Excel File
No.of rows:646K
No.of columns:132
I have deployed the package in the SQL Server Integration Services Catalog and trying to execute it from there.
But the following errors are being thrown:
Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
The attempt to add a row to the Data Flow task buffer failed with
error code 0xC0047020.
SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on
SRC_MDM_ENTITYDUPLICATE returned error code 0xC02020C4. The
component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called
PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the
component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
There may be error messages posted before this with more information
about the failure.
My DFT looks like the following:
I am using Data Conversion since I am facing some datatype mismatch between Unicode and Non-Unicode characters.
The package is working fine in my local machine with 95-99% resource utilization.
Since I have deployed the package in production environment, I can't do any modifications in the Server Settings. Also I guess the high resource utilization is creating issue while executing the package in production server.
I tried reducing DefaultBufferMaxRows size and increasing DefaultBufferSize which didn't help me anyhow.
Can somebody help me to optimize my package and fix this issue.
Thanks much in Advance.
I realized that the solution of the error is that the column is not excel in your package, as a solution you will either delete that column from the package or add empty columns

"Invalid or nonexistent document" error occurs when opening design element in domino designer

I have a local replica. From domino designer, when I open any design element, I get this error "Invalid or nonexistent document".
But this error didn't occur on server copy. Now you can ask you don't you work directly on server copy. the point is, it's very large db and have serveral xpages and custom control, etc.,. so building the db on remote server copy is painful for me. so work on local copy, save, build, and replicate to server copy.
what I have tried so far.
deleted local replica and created new replica. still error
replaced with my latest template. still error
felt some design elements have corrupted. so replaced both server & local replica with blank template to remove all design elements. and again replaced with latest app template. still error.
ran load fixup on server copy and replicated in local. still error
do anybody have a clue on this issue or any workaround to resolve this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
This may sound strange but I have solved weird things before doing this.
Close Notes and designer. Load Task Manager and make sure all Notes Tasks are ended.
Try to following:
from the notesprogram folder run ncompact -c path\dbname
delete \notesprogram\data\Cache.ndk
delete \notesprogram\data\log.nsf
rename \notesprogram\data\workspace folder to workspace.sav
rename desktop8.ndk *.sav
rename bookmarks.nsf *.sav
Launch notes and designer then test. If it works then great. If not rename everything back. Note, renaming the above will lose your preferences etc.

issue appears only in generated app.exe and dont appear in the sources' execution | PowerBuilder

I have an issue when i execute my app.exe, there is an error which is revealed only in the ".exe", if i try todo the same thing when i use the sources, there is no problem, i think the problem is when there is a call of the update method from a datastore, it return -1 with generated .exe and 0 when i execute sources.
i have tried to refresh any library from my app, before building, but the issue remains, for information the app is using a DB2 DATABASE, and it is built and run in a windows7 environment.
The likely cause is that when you built the exe, the DataWindow object assigned to the DataStore wasn't included. You need to use a .pbr file in the Project object. Look in the help file under 'deploying your application'.
I have encountered this problem as well when I deployed strictly to a *.exe file. The problem went away when I deployed to a *.exe with a *.pbd. This is established on the "libraries" tab of your project by checking the pbd checkbox.
An 'exe' only deployment can't handle hard coded 'literal strings' in your code. Creating and deploying 'pbd' library will allow 'literal strings'.
