Hey all! I have a bunch of questions, but let's start with this one:
Incoming from my flat file, I have two columns:
employee_id
dept_id
These indicate who did the work, and for which department (people can work for more than one department). In my destination table, I have the following two columns:
employee_id_sales
employee_id_wrhs
I want to map the employee id either to employee_id_sales or employee_id_wrhs, depending on the dept_id from the flat file.
How do I specify conditional column mapping?
I'm really new to SSIS, so I might be missing something obvious.
I have a condition where if column5 is equal to 1 then put column6 into the destination column "dest6", if it is not equal to 1 then put column6 in destination column "dest7"
What is the best way to do this in SSIS?
If I have to use the conditional split then do I have to copy my complete mappings, exact change this one column?
Thank for the help this mapping will take me a long time!
I am new to using SSIS. I am supposed to move data from a text file to a SQL Server table. I did that successfuly when I simply mapped column one-to-one, but when I could not conditionally map one column to different destination column depending on some criteria.
Example: I want to make SSIS map the column A depending on the value of field X:
If X= Value1 Map A -> B
if X= Value2 map A -> C and so on.
This is an urgent situation. I will really appreciate instant help.
I have a table with values stored in it and the Code Column contains sets of values that need to be mapped to a single value.For example i want the values ALMW,ARBAC to map to AL ARB and the values ARBIT,ARBOP,ARBSC to map to CU ARB and A1JAN,A1FEB,A1MAR,A1APR,A1MAY,A1JUN should map to AL AVG.
The values under Code are already in a database table and the ones under New Code are the new mappings for the values under code and are not in the database.
This table is referenced by other tables for the Code and i want those references to be done to the New Code instead.How do i modify the existing table or design a new table to preserve the current Codes and also map them to the new Code.
Code New Code ALMW AL ARB ARBAC ARBIT CU ARB ARBOP ARBSC A1JAN AL AVG A1FEB A1MAR A1APR A1MAY A1JUN
Hi everyone, So I have to export from a SQL 2005 table to a dBaseIV table using SSIS. Easy enough, however the catch is that the tables being exported will vary. I can send variables to the the package calling the sql table name and creating the DBF file with the same columns on the fly.
The problem is mapping the columns. From what I've been reading there is no way to alter the mapping in a package at runtime. I was hoping that there would be some sort of auto mapping setting that would match on the field names but I guess not. Anybody run in to this issue and have a work around? Thanks in advance....
I have a For Each Loop that iterates over a recordset stored in a variable. One of the columns in the recordset is type xml and I want to map it to a variable using Variable Mappings of the For Each Loop container. I am getting this error:
Error: 0xC001C012 at FELC Loop thru report defs: ForEach Variable Mapping number 4 to variable "User::Parameters_xml" cannot be applied.
I have tried changing the type of the Parameters_xml variable to Object and String, but I get the same error. Any ideas?
I am developing a transformation component and I'd like the gui to feature one of the mapping controls that are used for mapping input columns to, for example, SQL Server database columns in the OLE Database Destintation component, among others. I cannot for the life of me discover what the control is called or even whether it is available for general use. Can anyone help me out? Sorry if this is OT but it seemed like the people here would be the most likely to know immediatelly what I was on about.
I am trying to understand the concept of left joins. I have the following query and am not sure about the left joins.
I am familiar with joins but the left join below is a little confusing.Below it seems like a third table is involved. Is this because there is no column to map to in the from table? Also, since tables sl and sc are mapped based on the SecurityID column and sl and ex do not have any common columns, table sc is mapped to ex using the left join? Which table's data will be returned based on the left join?
I checked the column type for the Exchange column(ex.LSECode) and it appears varchar(3).
I am transferring a huge Database running on PostgreSQL to SQL SERVER using SSIS. I have already mapped all the columns between source and target tables. Is it possible in SSIS to get a graphical diagram showing all the source and targets tables and its mapping?
Does anyone know how to get destination coulmns to show up in the advanced editor for a custom component? I have a custom flat file destination component that builds the output based on a specific layout. It works as long as the upstream column names match my output names. What I want is to allow non-matching columns to be mapped by the user as they can in a stock flat file destination. The closest that I have been able to come is to get the "column mappings" tab to show up and populate the "Available Input Columns" by setting ExternalmetadataColumnCollection.IsUsed to true on the input. The problem is that the "Available destination columns" box is always empty. I have tried the IsUsed property on the output and pretty much every other property that I could find. On the Input and Output properties all of my columns show up under the output as both External and Output columns. Is there a separate collection for "destination" columns that I can't find? It's getting a little frustrating, is this something that can be done or do I have to write a custom UI to make it happen?
In my destination table i am having some 30 columns and the CSV files what i get may have 10 columns or 20. How do I map columns between source and destination dynamically?
Hi, Is there a way to accomplish one- many or many -one or many - many column mappings in the SSIS data flow task or using any other tasks. We were able to do this in DTS Transform data task. Also is it possible to edit the mapping like: dest column1 = Right(dest column1, 3)
I was using the code in this thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1371094&SiteID=1) to create a console application which can build the SSIS package dynamically and run the package.
If the source column and destination column names are of different cases then the application was failing during the mapping. So I modified the for each loop like below. Still this is not a fool proof method, this will work as long as all characters in the column names are upper or lower.
for eg., Source column = empl_id, Destination column = EMPL_ID, in this case the below code will work. if the source column or destination column is Empl_Id, then the below mapping will fail.
I have a small problem in parameter mapping for Execute SQL Task. I am using a delete statement with 2 conditions. Followed by another Execute SQL Task which contains commit statement.
delete from tname where c1 = ? and c2 =?
where c1 is number(4) datatype and c2 is of varchar2(20) datatype in oracle.
The connection manager i am using is ORacle OLE DB provider. I am passing 2 global variables i.e g_v1 of Int32 and g_v2 of String Type.
In the parameter mapping of the Executing SQL task, i am mapping these 2 variables for c1 and c2 and changed the datatypes inside parameter mapping as Numeric for c1 and Varchar for c2.
I also set the property as ByPassPrepare = True.
When i am executing the package i getting INVALID NUMBER ERROR. i believe the SSIS is unable to perform the implict datatype converison.
For the next run, i changed the g_v1 varible datatype to Double and also i changed the parameter mapping for c1 as Doble datatype. This time it is working fine. I can see the Green signal for the 2 SQL Tasks.
But when i connected to Oracle check the count in the table, the data is not getting deleted.
Also, I set the property RetainSameConnection = TRUE for oracle connection manager. I am not able to trace this logical error.
The same is working fine in my local machine. But i am facing the problem when i deployed the same on the client machine.
Is there any problem with parameter mapping? What should be equialent Datatype for Oracle NUMBER datatype that should be used inside the SSIS package while declaring the global variable and inside the parameter mapping.
If you use a component that has a column mapping tab (most do) then you know that the component will try and map input and output columns automatically by name.
Is there a way to disable this feature when writing your own custom components? There is already a manual way to do this: rightmouse in the mappings tab of a component and chosen "Map Items By Matching Names". I find it is less helpful to auto-map initially because the designer tends to not think about the mappings.
A way of turning of auto-mapping in existing components would be cool too!
I have been given an MS Access Database that has a table with columns
I have to create a spreadsheet that will have the data stored in the column header as a row (essentially we are creating a spreadsheet that records all of the different columns in all of the different tables in the MS Access DB).
I am having a little problem with a simple package and I do not know if this is a known issue or that I am missing something.
I have a data flow task, a simple one, with an oledb source pulling data, using a select statement, from a sql server 2005 instance, and an ole db destination pointing to a table in a sql server 2000 instance. Both intances are standard edition. The table in the destination has a column which allow null values and has also a default constraint (getdate()), and this column is not present in the source. When I map the columns in the destination, I leave this column as "ignore", not being mapped to any column from the source. The problem is that when I execute the task, SSIS is trying to insert NULL value into this column, so the package fail with the error "can not insert NULL value into column myColumn". I wonder why is it trying to insert NULL value if the column is not mapped to any column from the source.
Is this a known issue or I am nissing something in the settings?
If the destination table has rowversion or identity columns, there is no problem ar all. I ignore those columns in the mapping and SQL Server feeds them as expected.
I have created a package which transfers data from a SQL server source to an Excel Destination. The DataFlow Task works fine , if i pre-define the column names in the Excel Destination... But i run into an error when i give the blank excel sheet as my destination. I am unable to map any columns
A sample example is as shown above .. In the column mappings field only one column in the Excel shows up for mapping and eventually throws the error "[Excel Destination [42]] Error: The number of columns is incorrect. "
How do we proceed in this case , where in we do not want to give pre-defined coulmn names in the Excel Destination sheet.
I have some source files is there today it will have 4 columns..Tomorrow it will have 10 columns...my package is dynamically load the data to destination table..How we have do it in Using script task...
I'm having my first go at developing a destination adapter which will send data to an update Web Service.
I've got some rather big gaps in my understanding. I've been following the various samples I've found on the net and have validated my mapping and picked up all the available column names and datatypes which are appearing in the Input and Output Properties tab of the Advanced Editor but I only have a tab for "Input Columns" and not "Column Mappings".
Which method defines the availble columns for the user to map?
Let me know if I haven't given enough information.
Have to create SSIS package for the below requirement:
I have source data in 2 excel files. Data from both these excel files should be loaded to the same single Fact table.
The column names in excel files and table are not same. I have a Reference table which has the column mappings between excel and Fact Table.
I have to refer this Reference Tabel for column mappings, plus i have to add some derived columns (Created_Date) to load the Fact_Table.
I have given a sample data structure below:
Source Data Excel1_Order.xls OrderNumber    OrderQuantity    OrderDate Order10001            100              01-01-2011 Excel2_Customer.xls CustomerNumber     CustomerName    CustomerAddress
I have a quizzing application where users log in, answer questions, and are ranked relative to each other. For this final ranking, I calculate their score using this formula -
SELECT TOP 50 username, (sum(correct) * 150 / count(1) + count(1)) AS score, count(1) as totalq FROM questionsstats GROUP BY username ORDER BY score DESC
This works just fine.
However, on top of this I need to put an additional restriction that only users who have at least answered 20 questions be counted in. How can I do this? Adding a simple 'WHERE totalq > 20' does not work. I get the error "Invalid column name 'totalq'.".
Would like to know if it is possiblefor any of you to suggest how to conditionally diaplay a Column based on the values of the other columns. Here's my query SELECT [ProductionDay] ,DATEPART(wk,StartTime) AS WeekCount ,(AVG([RNTDuration])) AS AvgRNT ,MIN([RNTDuration]) As LeastRNT ,MAX([RNTDuration]) As WorstRNT ,dbo.fn_MinimumRNT_sp([ProgramNo],[Machine],[ProductionDay]) AS BestRNT ,dbo.fn_MinimumRNT(SubAssemblyNo,[Machine]) AS BestRNT_txt ,SUM([LoadingDuration]) AS LoadingTime ,[ProgramNo] AS ProgramNo ,COUNT(RNTID) AS PartsCount ,[SubAssemblyNo] ,[Sheetsize] FROM [RPMS].[dbo].[List_MachineShopRNT] where Machine = @iMachine and dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, [StartTime]),0) = @dtMonthStartDate Group by DATEPART(wk,StartTime), [ProductionDay],[Machine],[ProgramNo],[SubAssemblyNo],[Sheetsize]
Here I would like to Run the function dbo.fn_MinimumRNT_sp or dbo.fn_MinimumRNT if the ProgramNo is 100

I am trying to hide a column in a matrix table. I have no trouble using conditional formatting to control the visibility of the column, but when I hide the column the main row in the matrix does not shrink. Therefore, I have a big gap€¦ My thought was to use conditional formatting to control the column width of the main matrix row. Listed below is the expression that I used. Can anyone help me with the error message or recommend a better solution?
=IIF(Fields!FiscalYear.Value = IIF(Month(TODAY()) = 10-12,Year(TODAY()) ,Year(Today())-1), 0.625in, 0.25in) cannot be parsed as a unit because it does not contain numeric values. Examples of valid unit strings are "1pt" and ".5in".
Is there a statement to change the column in a select clause?
For example:
select Groups, sum ((if group like '%total%' then select TotalHours else if group like '%Direct%' then select DirectHours endif endif)) as Hours, count(*) from tblGroups. group by Groups.
I have 2 table that I want to join and output a row on a condition that one of the records have a null in the field. Heres what I have.employee table (empid, name)tasks table (taskid, empid, taskname, resolution)If the resolution is null than I want it to be accounted for in each employee record. Heres my query so far that joins the 2 tables and accounts for each employee and counts each task they have. I need another column that counts the tasks.resolution's null values for each employee but cant figure it out. Thanks for any help!SELECT e.empid, e.name, COUNT(t.ID) as 'tcount'FROM tasks t RIGHT JOIN employee e ON c.empid = t.empidGROUP BY e.empid, e.nameorder by 'tcount' desc
I Have Table Called 'Sales' and 'Voucher',I Need To Show Each Customer ""Dueamount"" Details Based Upon Customer Paid in 'Voucher' Table But One thing I have Not Maintained Transaction History For Customer in 'Sales' Table Means I Have Column named "CreditAmount" in 'Sales' and Column Named "VoucherAmount" in 'Voucher' ,For every transaction I am updating Column named "CreditAmount" in 'Sales', So finally 'Dueamount' Must be calculated according to "VoucherAmount" of customer in 'Voucher' Table....

HI, I was wondering if there is a possibility to use a confitional if like this:
IF(ISNULL(mycolumn value, "new value if null", mycolumnvalue)
into a derived column transform to infer a value to a null column value. I do know I can do it using a script component by it would be simpler to do by using an expression.
I am using matrix in my report with calculated fields, for example I have 3 columns : Actual amount, Budget and Variance. Variance should be in Red if it is negative. I can set up an expression to change the color on the row level, but not in Subtotal ot Total row. I cannot use sum of Fields! values, because Budget amount is also calculated field based on the "Category" value which is columns group on the matrix.
So anyway, if I am trying to reference ReportItems!Variance.Value in Subtotal Level, it gives me an error about group scope.
How can I access the cells values in subtotal and total group levels? If anybody knows any tricks for this fairly simple task?
