Please help,I am using SQL Server 7 and this is the first time I am using DTS. Can I import a text file with 3 fields to a table which has those 3 fields and also another 2 fields? Can somebody help with the ActiveX script to accomplish this? And one of the extra 2 fields in the table is a timestamp field. It needs to be timestamped automatically. Can somebody please help? Thank you in advance
View 2 RepliesHi,
If you have two synchronous transformation components and the input of the second is connected to the output of the first, does the first transformation process (loop through) all rows in the buffer before outputting these rows to the second transformation? Or does the first transformation output each individual row to the second transormation as soon as it has finished processing it?
Thanks in advance,
Lawrie.
tell me the difference between Audit transformation and rowcount transformation.
Because audit and rowcount transformation will provide the environment variables.
Only difference i am finding is rowcount returns the count of rows its updating .
Apart from these is there any other difference?
Tell me the scenario where i need to use the audit transformation.
Hello I trying to do some transformation using javascript. I have a table with 40 columns that I need dynamicaly mapped to another table. For example I need to test each Column of tableA if Col1 of TableA looks like an email address map it to TableB email if it looks like a zip map it to Email...
I need to do this with Javascript
if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great
lets say I start small test each col in TableA for an @ sign if I find it map to Email if I can get the idea of how to do that I can do this
thanks
Hi there,
I want to check whether the values in a column within a defined list of values or not.
These values aren't in a table or a file - I just want to "code" them in the package so to speak.
I was thinking of using a script component but I'm not sure how to "fail" a row if it the column's value is not part of the pre-defined list.
Any suggestions.
Thanks.
plz tell me abt look up transformation , i need to look up with 3 source files ,1 flat file another 2 are compared with databases, how can we use that ....
plz tell me.
I am a bit familiar with SSIS, but I have not used it in about a year. However, this is my question. We have a couple of reports that are being done in SSRS and our customer also requires some of these reports to be exported to a flat file. Somebody suggested using SSIS to do this.
What transformation element should I use to transform the data to a flat file destination. For instance, I have a column with a value of 10250. The customer specifies that this column must be right-justified with leading zeros. So I need to take that and convert it to a field length that is 12 characters long. It would ultimately be 000000010250.
The data source is returning columns that are both numeric and strings.
Thanks for the help.
Hi,
we are trying to implement this logic in SSIS data flow task
We have 2 datasets
Dataset 1 has Emplid and Actiondate. (from Oracle Database instance I)
Dataset 2 has Emplid, ProjectID ,Project Start_Date ,Project_End_Date (from Oracle Database
instance II)
Logic is
select ProjectID from Dataset 2
where Dataset 1.Emplid = Dataset 2.Emplid
and Dataset 1.Actiondate between Dataset 2.Project Start_Date and Dataset 2.Project_End_Date.
for first condition we have used merge join between 2 datasets.
for second condition we are trying to use look up transformation... it did'nt help...
if i want to write an query where do i write that???
please help
Thanks in Advance.
I am trying to transform data from a text file to a SQL Server table and one particular column I want to split it to three other columns. It is erroring out when I try to split the column from the source in the Active X script while doing the transformation.
Is it possible to have more number of Columns in the destination when compared to the source.
If so can someone help me with this.
Thanks,
Hari
We are transferring data between AS/400 and SQL Server 7.0 using DTS. Some of these transfers may need to be very close to real time. It doesn't seem like a continuously running job is the best solution for that.
Do you know any tools or utilities that can help us to move the data?
Thank you,
Anastasia.
i have something like this:
select * from accounts
name type amount
==== ==== ======
mary saving 123.00
mary chequing 246.00
mary investment 135.00
john saving 678.00
john chequing 987.00
john investment 0.00
what should i do to present the data in the following format?
name saving cheq investment
==== ====== ==== ==========
mary 123.00 246.00 135.00
john 678.00 987.00 0.00
Thanks.
I am importing user id's from CSV file into my Database. The source user id is of 4 character long and the destination user_id field is of 100 varchar.

Hi,
I need to extract a table from someother database in which one of the city columns with datatype CHAR has city values but all the values are appended by dots at the end...like:
"Newyork.............."
"Boston..............."
"Chicago.............."
"Los Angeles..........."
After extracting the table/data , i will have to do some transformations and lookups on the table....and at the same time i will have to remove the dots and load the table/data in to another SQL Server Database, i dont think i can use the substring as each record's length is different.
Can someone suggest me how to do this one...?
thanks
Ravi
Nothing much that i can do..!!
hi all, i am trying to convert getdate()to yyyymmdd type of output using derived column transformation and this transformation doesnot recognise CONVERT function.

Hi, newbie here with a simple?(maybe)question.
I have an Access Database that I have imported into SQL Server2000 and that worked great, but now I have to get it into 2005. My question is, How can I get the tables and all info in the tables into an SQL Script so I can run that script on the 2005 server?
The SQL 2000 is on my dev server and I have all the Tools, (Ent Manager, Query Analyzer,etc...) but the 2005 Server is Godaddy's and they only have the basic web interface. I can run Sql files and create databases and tables, but thats about it.
Hi All,
I am doing something really simple and it doesnt work, may be I am missing something, What I am trying to accomplish is to load a fact table using lookup transaformation, however my source data was different from the data in my dimension (or the datatype ) I had to use a data conversion task before my lookup , so the data flow is something like this source -> Data Conversion -> Lookup -> destination , I am getting an error at my lookup task where it says the "[Lookup [82]] Error: Row yielded no match during lookup". and then it just fails. I know for sure that there has to be matching data. donno what is it that I am missing.
Thanks
Hi Guys, wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction with this one.
I'm fairly new to SSIS and one data flow transformation i'm trying to get my head around is the pivot transformation. Perhaps if i explain what i want it to do it will make my problem seems clearer.
I have a table which contains a list of people and their demographic and personal details, each with a unique identifier number. When each persons details are entered one of the pieces of data captured is the month they were registered and their ethnic group classification. Within my data flow i want to take this table of registrations and pivot it like you would in Excel e.g. take the whole list, add months as the columns and ethnic categories as the rows and then a count of the unique identifiers as the value, giving you a simple count of all of the customers and what different ethnic groups per month were registered. Simple enough??
Now, i've tried to do this using the pivot and i seem to be getting lost so after reading the chapter from my wrox book i've tried to outline how i think it should be configured to see if it makes anymore sense, i'd appreciate it if anyone could point out where i might be going wrong.......
In my example i'm assuming my input columns will be the unique identifier, the ethnic group and the month?
I'll then select the ethnic group as the row and the month as the pivot and the unique code as the value using the pivotusage properties of 1, 2, 3. still on the right track??
I then create an output column of each month and set the pivotkey value to the month name and the lineageID to the ID of the unique identifer column.
Can anyone spot if i've missed something out here?
many thanks in advance for any help
Is there a way to ignore the unmatched rows using Lookup without creating another destination (Error Transformation for red connector)?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am totally new to SSIS.
I need an example of how to use a Lookup transformation. Basd on that i need to lookup for some recs and delete records from transaction table. I have used the Execute SQL task for this and i am able to achive my requirement. But now i am using XML configurations for Connection Managers and for that very reason i dont want to hard code the catalog names(database names) inside my Execute SQL task.
Can any one suggest me how to do the same using a Lookup transformation or any other.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a Dataflow task which loads data from a flat file to a Fact table named Inventory , doing a dimensional Key lookup with DIMStores - which is the dimension table for stores information.
If I have some rows in the flatfile whose 'Store' column doesnt have a corresponsing key in the DIMStores table, I want to insert all these stores in to DIMStores table and then update the Inventory table accordingly ..
Any idea how do to this ?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
I have to extract data from 3 different tables and insert it into another table. I can use a regular union all query or use 3 ole db sources and then use union all transform. What would be the difference here, is there any beneffit on using the transformation? Why would I use the union all transform instead of a regular query with union all statement?
Thanks
original data type is string ,format like MM/dd/YYYY,also there exists null or "" value
I need to convert them into datetime,format like YYYY--MM-dd
any idea about this?
thanks in advance
I have a question based on Lookup Transformation component. If using Lookup component, the data cannot be NULL for available columns mapping. How about I want to keep the NULL value like outer join instead of inner join? Is there any way to do since I have several Lookup components inside of my dataflow?

I want to update a char column and remove all the periods (.) - middle initial data. What are the basic steps in SSIS?
Source Table/Column --> Transform of some kind --> ? --> ?
I've never had to massage data and replace in the same table in my brief career so far but I see a lot more ahead.
There isn't a simple sql statement to do this, is there?

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to perform a lookup transformation. But the deal is, I have this one value that I am passing into the transformation, but I would like to gather all values that match the value I put in....does the lookup transformation do this? I tried it, and it appears as if it only returns one value for the one input. After the lookup, I have an access OLE DB destination setup...so I can capture all those values that corresponds to that one value I passed into the lookup. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can go about this?
Thanks!
Here are my list of column names
90Q1
90Q2
90Q3
90Q4
91Q1
91Q2
91Q3
91Q4
.
.
.
.
.
99Q4
Each Column has boolean(Y or Null for NO)
Desired column Output
Start Date
End Date
Here is my example
For example :90Q1 90Q2 90Q3 90Q4 91Q1 91Q2 91Q3 91Q4 etc etc etc
Y Y Y Y N N Y Y
SO my output should be
Start Date:1990/01,1991/07
EndDate:1990/12,1991/12
Can the be achieved....Please let me know
I would like to creat a new column called Load_Dt and hard-coded as 06/30/2006 ( date data type) in derived transformation... how can i do this?
There is "Row Count" transformation in SSIS.
It can count the number of records. But how can I get the output from the row count?
Can I insert the number of row count into a table in SSIS?
Thanks for help!

I have an OLE DB source and a Lookup Component on my data flow. I am adding a Transformation Script between the two. I have join the script to the OLE DB source,created new outputs and joined the outputs to the lookup. But when I go to enter my code there is no support for the output buffer.
What have I missed?
I am moving data from Access to SQL Server.
I have a term date field (datetime) whose source values in Access are '1/1/1700'
I am using an Active X Transformation task to change those values to '1/1/1753'
Here is my code
If DTSSource("TERM_DATE").value < '1/1/1753'
then DTSDestination("TERM_DATE").value = '1/1/1753'
else DTSDestination("TERM_DATE") = DTSSource("TERM_DATE")
can't figure out whats wrong
