We would like to use DTS to pull data from DB2 on the mainframe into SQL Server 7.0 databases. Does anyone know what 3rd party products are required for us to do this (and which ones are the best to use)? What has to be installed on the mainframe and on the SQL Server?
View 2 RepliesIn using SSIS to migrate data from mainframe to SQL 2005, I had a situation where only group level data was exposed through the ODBC to SSIS, so I pulled this information as varchar on the SQL destination side. Now I would like to break that group into the individual numeric columns I need on SQL Server. However, the positive and negative sign did not convert because it came of character. I can write something to convert the positive signs to positive numbers; however I cannot do the negative because I would need get rid of the leading zeros in order to place the negative sign before the number. Is there anything I could have done to get SSIS to do the conversion like it did for every one-to-one mapping?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have data on the mainframe that contains special characters such as a copyright symbol (letter c with a circle) when running the SSIS package migration from mainframe database to SQL Server 2005 database the data in the column is truncated at the point it hits this symbol with no errors. I had error reports set up for truncation and did not see an error report for this.
I have tried to change the data type to different data types and re-run nothing changes things.
The symbol is a EBCDIC 'b4' on the mainframe side - I have no idea what that would translate to.
Anyone have any ideas? Am I stuck with substituting something else for the symbol on the mainframe side and re-running the package? Is there anyway to handle this situation in SSIS? I am using the Import/Export Wizard for this one because before I ran into this problem it seemed to be working fine.
Thanks, MaryOS
I need to be able to export a data file as flat file (.txt) with fixed columns for use by Mainframe.
I will be uploaded this file using the Windows File Share Option
Render Format does not have .txt, but does have a data feed option. So I will try that.
But, I do not see an option for fixed column width.
Has anyone been able to use an ftp task to pull a flat file from a z/os mainframe? The ftp task appears to want the remote file to begin with a /, which pulls you into unix system services on z/os.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am trying to send files over to an ftp server on Mainframe using scripts that is provided in this link, but I can't get it to work.
The problem is the sendfile method concatinates the source file name to the MVS dataset name which causes the issue.
Here's my code (FTPConn is a connecation mgr for FTP):
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Public Class ScriptMain
Public Sub Main()
Dim mgr As ConnectionManager
mgr = Dts.Connections("FTPConn")
Dim conn As FtpClientConnection
conn = New FtpClientConnection(mgr.AcquireConnection(DBNull.Value))
Dim toFiles As String
toFiles = "ftpp.a.b.xxxxx.yyyyyy.int"
Dim fromFiles(0) As String
fromFiles(0) = "c: est.txt"
Try
conn.Connect()
conn.SendFiles(fromFiles, toFiles, True, True)
Catch ex As Exception
Finally
conn.Close()
End Try
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
End Class
Output:
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" starting.

I am loading from Mainframe to Sqlserver.
Right now i am truncating the tables in sqlserver connecting to mainframe and downloading the tables to Sql server. The problem is sometimes i fail to connect to Mainframe. So is there any way of checking whether i can connect to mainframe and if succesful truncate the tables.
Thanks
I am trying to use the FTP Task within a DTS Package to copy a file from the Mainframe (OS390). We have SQL2000 with SP2 running on NT. This process works when I do it manually with ftp. At first, when I would execute the package it would just hang like it is copying but it would never end.
Then, I added a Dynamic Properties Task to the package. I used the Dynamic Properties Task to set up a Constant with the actual name of the Source File located on the Mainframe. When I ran this I received "Invalid string format for source file name".
Next, I removed the Dynamic Properties Task from the DTS Package, saved the package, and executed it. The package executed successfully, but when I looked in the folder on my hardrive the file that was supposed to be copied was not there. In order to get the package to execute successfully it appears that I have to go through the following process: add the Dynamic Properties Task, set up a constant to change the Source File name, save the package, delete the Dynamic Properties Task, save the package and then execute it.
Also, on one execution of this package, it brought across the file from the Mainframe to my hard drive but the file was in Binary format.
What do I have to do to get the FTP Task within a DTS Package to work? Would you specify in detail exactly how the Dynamic Properties Task needs to be set up? How can I specify how to change the file format from Binary to ASCII in the DTS Package?
Thanks, in advance.
Hi,
is there a solution outside for getting of DB2 for OS/390 into SQL server?
I mean not replication or copying of data with flat files or an ETL tool, but a kind of integration of DB2 tables as they would be "normal" mssql tables.
Oracle has Transparent Gateways for os/z DB2 and many other non-Oracle databases, is there some similar for SQL Server?
Could it be realisable with an ODBC client for DB2?
Thanks
Can I get drivers to setup Replication to Mainframe . I really don't want to install HIS

I have a million record mainframe flat file that I BULK INSERT into aSQL table with CHAR(fieldlength) deined for every column to preventimport errors.Once imported I "INSERT INTO ... SELECTdbo.MyScrubFunction(columnN),..."My scrub functions will take for example a char(8) YYYYMMDD date fieldand return either a valid datetime variable or a NULL for 8-spaces or8-zeros....or return a MONEY datatype by dividing by 100.PROBLEM: This is extremely SLOW!QUESTION: Should I do multiple "UPDATE ...SET" statements back intoCHAR() columns, then let SQL Server do the CHAR() to DATETIME andMONEY conversions itself? What is the most efficient or recommendedmethod to transform/scrub imported data?P.S. I also have to convert low-values and reformat dates which Ialso use my own UDFs for.THANKS

Im trying to migrate my SQL 2000 packages that´s currently working in the company production enviroment to SSIS packages. So, in the 2000 version i got the flat file from Mainframe and i had to do a trick to transform all the columns to match the same size as the example above:
1432 1138734217 1144256628<CRLF>
1432 1138734217<CRLF>
1433 1136657788 1122441177<CRLF>
1433 1125554545 1122441177<CRLF>
1433 1192925544 1122441177<CRLF>
So, when i import the file, first of all i have to transform the Text file to another texfile file fixing the size to 32..... but you can see that in the second row im receiving a CRLF and if i try to import without the trick, the preview of the ragged file show me the columns desorganized...
Someone knows how to import it without transform to another text file with fixed length?
Thanks

I am migrating mainframe data to SQL Server 2005 and have found that from a mainframe character field with leading zeros for example the value of 00023 to a SQL Server column defined as varchar (5) the resulting column value is 23 not 00023. I need the leading zeros because these are account ids, etc. So the value is 00023 not 23. Is this some setting in SQL Server 2005 that needs to be changed or what? This is not a numeric field on the mainframe or a numeric column for SQL Server.
View 11 Replies View RelatedWhen attempting to use the FTP task to download a file from a Mainframe system the task fails stating the filename as invalid because it doesn't begin with a "/".
Adding the slash to the front of the file name causes the mainframe to be unable to locate the file.
Commandline version of FTP.exe mimicks this behavior by working perfectly when the filename has no slash, and being unable to find the file when the slash is present.
Why does microsoft force a filename to start with a "/" and is there a way to make SSIS skip the validation phase for the FTP task?
Howdy all,
I've seen several posts about reading and writing files that have different record types with varying column metadata. My particular file has 11 record types plus several header types and looks something like:
<Header1>
<Header2>
<Detail01-#1>
<Subdetail02>
<Subdetail03>
...
<Detail01-#2>
<Subdetail02>
<Subdetail03>
...
...
Since i need to get different detail and subdetail records, i can't really use the technique of 3 dest file connection managers found in http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=87269&SiteID=1
I've tried using an exec sql to get the main detail records and then a forech ADO en umerator that would get the subdetails, but it all seems so kludgy. I'm starting to think that I should just write the bulk of the file creation code in a c# app instead of trying to smush this into SSIS. Opinions? Am I missing some trick in SSIS?
TIA,

Hi, all here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am wondering if it is possible to use SSIS to sample data set to training set and test set directly to my data mining models without saving them somewhere as occupying too much space? Really need guidance for that.
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.
Thanks,
I have used both data readers and data adapters(with datasets) in the projects that I have worked on. I am trying to get some clarification on when I should be using which one. I think I am doing this correctly but I want to be sure I am developing good habits.
As the name might suggest, it seems like a datareader is for only reading data. I have read that the data adapter and dataset are for a disconnected architecture. Or, that they can be used for this type of set up. I have been using the data adapter and datasets when writing to a database and the datareader when reading from a database.
Is this how these should be used? Is the data reader the best choice for reading data? Am I doing this the optimal way from a performance stand point?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am wondering what conversion rules apply, when a string, which contains a number, is saved to a SQL Server 2005 into a column of type decimal.
This is the code I€™m using (C++):
CString cValue = "0.75"
_variant_t vtFieldValue;
vtFieldValue = _variant_t(cValue)
pRecordSet->Fields->Item["MyColumn"]->Value = vtFieldValue;
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Volker
