On my MS SQL Server 2000, I am trying to create a generic way to load tables into my datawarehouse.
I have as input to the process a large number of table definition(s) stored individually as files on my server. And, ascii delimited data files in various locations but mostly accessible via NFS mounts.
I created two DTS package in MSSQL2K that in theory represents what I want to do:
package1
... invoke package2 with global variables to load a system of related tables
package2
... check for a trigger file
... set the "Execute SQL Task" statement to my first file
... run the "Execute SQL Task" which drop/add's a table
... set a "Connection" to a data source file that I want to use
... run the transformation
and, with that my package starts to fall apart
... set the "Execute SQL Task" statement to the next file, and
...... goback and execute it
I can't figure out how to set the table in the transformation section to the table I want to use. And, I assume next to have the transformations links between the source and new table relinked.
The source files contain in the first row the column names as found in the tables I just created.
I've spent quite a few hours on this one... I've successfully gotten tables to datapump between source and destination datbases, however... I get the following message when I hit a table with a blob field:
Step 2 failed, error: x80040E21, x80040000 + 3617 General error -2147217887 (80040E21). (Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Data Pump (80040e21): Cannot instantiate Storage Object for source column 6 ('description') Blob data. Your provider may require that all Blob columns be rightmost in the source result set.) (Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (80040e21): Errors occurred)
I've written a VB com dll that does a simple datapump... but am stuck on this "Storage Object" instantiation thingy...
Any recommendations as to what I can put in my datapump object to allow just a simple xfer of blob types?
I get this error when I execute a job calling a dts pkg. The package itself is fine and executes without any error.It's transferring around 400000 records. Shceduling the pkg gives the following error. Can any body led a hand please?
DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1 DTSRun OnProgress: DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1; 1000 Rows have been transformed or copied.; PercentComplete = 0; ProgressCount = 1000 DTSRun OnProgress: DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1; 2000 Rows have been transformed or copied.; PercentComplete = 0; ProgressCount = 2000 DTSRun OnProgress: DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1; 3000 Rows have been transformed or copied.; PercentComplete = 0; ProgressCount = 3000 DTSRun OnProgre... Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.
Wether I'm trying to access a datapump task in an imported package in SSIS, or in 2000 enterprise manager
they crash once created. I can not alter or redo mappings or anything else. After enterprise manager churns for 5-10 min it crashes.
SSIS partially crashes: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. After this I can no longer click on anything and have to end task on Visual studio.
I can do a disconnected edit on the package in enterprise manager and alter the statement, but as far as I know you can't really change much as far as mappings back in there. This also means that my 2000 packages have been limited to 1 teradata pump per package.
This happened on my laptop, 2 coworker's desktops, and now that i've migrated to a new high end developer box it's happening on it also.
I'm using an SSIS under SQL 2005; i transfer data with a DataFlow Component:
DataSource = OLEDB Source;
Destination = OLEDB Destination
The source is a View returning about 100000 records; if i execute it in query analyser it takes few seconds. But if i use it as DataPump Source it takes HOURS to execute it...
I've noticed that If i modify the SELECT query inserting a "TOP 10000000000", it takes few seconds..
Hi friends, Can somebody tell me how to do this- How can we Analyze existing code used to transform data into the Operations Data Warehouse, and make changes to correspond to upcoming changes in the SAP data sources. Thanks
how I can transform this input (in SQL Server 2008 R2)

I am scripting a DTS Package using VB. The problem I am having is that I get the following error when I execute the package from Visual Basic:
Step Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset Provider Step Error Description:Incomplete file format information - file cannot be opened.
In the DTS Designer when I open the DataPump Transformation and click on the Destination tab I am prompted With the Define Columns dialog. I define the columns and click execute. The package works properly after doing this when executed from Enterprise Manager. Does anyone know how to script the file definition creation??? I have searched high and low through BOL and other resources and am not finding anything. I doesn't seem like it should be this hard to figure out so, maybe I am missing something.
Okay all I have a problem. I have two list of adresses and phonenumbers. I do not have control over the contents of the lists The onlyunique field between the two is the phone number. I need to be able toinner join the two lists on phone number.This would normally be straigt forward but the problem is that they areformated different and one of them does't even have a control on theformating.*Phone numbers are US phone numbers only.The one list (table) that does have a control uses this formatAAA3334444where AAA is the area code333 is the 3 digit prefix4444 is the four digit suffixthe second list (table) does not have any standardized formating andcan be filled with extraneous spaces, parentheses and dashes not tomention the leading 1 in some instances.I thought that I could do some kind of regular expression to do acomparison but I havn't as yet found a good resource to tell me how todo it or if it is even possible. Or maybe break up the one I know hasa standardized format into something like this:'%AAA%333%4444%' and doing my comparison that way. however It is veryimportant that only those list items in both list that are truly thesame place be listed.suggestions and solutions are apreciated
Hello, I am working on a module to extract data from a Teradata server to SQL database. I am using a DTS package to extract the data and need to make the data source name (database name and object name) configurable at runtime and to be read from a Config table in the SQL database. What do you suggest is the simplest and most efficient method to do this?
I am trying to use a dynamic SQL query in the data tranform task with the data source as a query. But its giving me a strange syntax error. Can we use a dynamic SQL in the query option of DTS transform task source?
I want to export to a Text File (destination) from a SQL query using a DTS DataPump Task. My query has 28 columns, some how when I try to define the destination columns for my text file the Microsoft Managment Console Crashes completely.
I tough may be my query has two many columns only to find out that it has one to many. If I ramove a column form my query, any column. I get no error at all.
¿Is there a limit to a Text File destination connection?
I am importing data from xls file to a db table with a dts. In the time of the dts creation I am using 'Transform Data Task Properties' GUI window to map incoming xls fields (source) to the table columns (destination). Question: Is there any way to invoke the 'Transform Data Task Property' GUI window in dts runtime and use it to change the mapping dynamically in the run time? Thanks, Vadim.
I'm still trying to learn the advantage of having stored procedures. I have a DTS that uses a Transform Data Task to append the result of a view into a table. All operations are done locally in the server.
Do I have any advantage if I write a stored procedure to insert the view into the table, and then call the stored procedure in the DTS, in stead of using the Transform Data Task ?
I have a very simple SSIS package that is moving data from a DB2 database to a Teradata box. I've run it around 10 times, twice it pushed data over, the balance of the time, it executes with no error, but moves nothing over. In the "incomplete" runs, a command line box pops up for half a second, then the package ends.
Does anyone have ideas as to why this behavior is occurring?
I have an OLE DB Source and i want to transform the data type fields of the table before i export the table in an OLE DB Destination. Is there a way to transform numeric value to float, and numeric to nvchar?
I have a package that works fine in development. I move the package over to test and it fails validation in the lookup transform.
Error 46 Validation error. Data Flow Task - PO Lines Interface: Lookup - LIST PRICE [29621]: output column "LIST_PRICE_PER_UNIT" (29667) and reference column named "LIST_PRICE_PER_UNIT" have incompatible data types. SPO_TO_ORACLE_PO.dtsx 0 0
What strikes me as odd is the fact that I don't have a way of specifying the data types. I just specify the column I wish to return as a new column with the same name. Anyway, why would this work in one instance but not another?
Hi ...I can't figure out how to put nested tables into the Data Mining Model Training Transform (SSIS). Can anybody help me? some example please...!!!?? Diego B.
I am trying to read in a flat file, transform the fields and store into a destination database.
In DTS, this works using Transform Data Task Properties. I define the columns and then have a VB script on the Transformations tab that changes any bad data.
Is there a way to do this in SSIS that I can define the column transformations and re-use my VB scripts?
I have an Access 2.0 database that holds call data on a mapped drive. I am running MS SQL Server 2000. I can open it and view the records inside. I can even run the query below and get results, if I removed the CallDate and CallTime parameters.
SELECT CallDate, CallTime, Mid(CallRecordData, 68, 3) AS Extension, 'I' AS Direction, Mid(CallRecordData, 34, 11) AS Called, Val(Mid(CallRecordData, 18, 2)) + Val(Mid(CallRecordData, 21, 2))/ 60 AS Minutes, Val(Mid(CallRecordData, 21, 2)) AS Seconds FROM CallRecords WHERE (CallDate = ?) AND (CallTime >= ?) AND (CallTime < ?) AND (Mid(CallRecordData, 30, 1) <> '9')
When I preview in the Transform Data Task, I get: Package Error Error Source: Microsoft JET Database Engine Error Description: No value given for one or more required parameters.
When I look at the parameters, they are listed. I check their values, and they have the appropriate values (DateCalled, String, 07/14/2005) (StartTime, String, 06:30) (EndTime, String, 07:00)
When I run it in the build query or in Access with a linked table to the source, I can enter the values when asked for them and it works.
i have too many DTS packages to migrate to SSIS, and while examining a DTS package in BIDS (converted with the migration utility) i tried to edit the resulting migrated package, which opened the DTS interface with the two connection icons joined by the big fat arrow with a gear on it...not exactly what i had in mind, iow, it looks like SSIS on the outside, but its still DTS on the inside. So I stripped out a series of components from a more complex package hoping that simplifying it would reveal the contents of old DTS Transformations tab at least partially set up in a Derived Column transformation. Can i get there from here, or must i recreate every stinking definition in a derived column manually from the ground up? thanks very much for your help
I can't figure out how to put nested tables into the Data Mining Model Training Transform (SSIS). I can do a simple case table, but how do you get those nested tables with DM Training Transformation? Any ideas? Samples?
W2k3 server, SQL 2005. @@version = Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)
I have my first SSIS package almost working, but I'm having an odd problem and can't find any information to help resolve it.
I'm importing from a flat file (csv) to an existing table (append). I've got a Derived Column transformation in the middle to do some data cleanup. It's all working except for one little problem...
One of the transformations is 'REPLACE([Column 3],"^","; ")', output to a new column. (The input file has a field that uses carets as delimiters between an unknown number of items; I'm changing that to semicolons for easier reading.) Not all rows have data in this column, some will have one item, some will have multiple items.
The REPLACE works except that it fills in repeated data for all the blank rows.
Example:
Incoming data is:
1 Smith,Jane^Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3
4 Adams,James^Adams,Jim
5
6 White,Debra
Data inserted into the table is:
1 Smith,Jane; Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3 Brown,John
4 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
5 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
6 White,Debra
I've tried to use a Conditional to skip the empty rows, but I can't get that working at all (get syntax errors no matter what I put in).
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be most appreciated!
Hi JayH (or anyone). Another week...a new set of problems. I obviously need to learn .net syntax, but because of project deadlines in converting from DTS to SSIS it is hard for me to stop and do that. So, if someone could help me some easy syntax, I would really appreciate it.
In DTS, there was a VBScript that copied a set of flat files from one directory to an archive directory after modifying the file name. In SSIS, the directory and archive directory will be specified in the config file. So, I need a .net script that retrieves a file, renames it and copies it to a different directory.
I have a common requirement in numerous SSIS processes to take my main input data set and to remove all rows from it that match a second input data set on a given key and output this as the main output. I also want to output (as a second output) all the rows from the main input data set that did match on the given key. However, I don't want to merge in data from the second input, nor am I interested in rows from the second input data set that have no match in the main input.
E.g. If I have the following data:
Main input: Key Name --- ---- 1 Steve 2 Jamie 3 Donald
i am using to Lookup transform for the matching records , if my source records are matching with lookup records it work fine , if not it through the following error
[Lookup [34]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "component "Lookup" (34)" failed because error code 0xC020901E occurred, and the error row disposition on "output "Lookup Output" (36)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
