Data Conversion Mapping Weirdness
Mar 4, 2008
Hi,
I have an Excel source > Data Conversion task > OLE DB Destination.
In the Data Conversion task I rename all the outputs to match the column names in my destination table.
However, when I go to map the columns in the OLE DB Destination mapping tab, it's a mess. Some fields are prefaced by "Data Conversion" as in "Data Conversion.column1", others are prefaced by "Excel Source" and others have no prefix at all.
What's confusing is, since all the columns are going through the Data Conversion task, how come I don't have ALL fields prefaced by "Data Conversion" ?
That is, only SOME of the fields have a "Data Conversion" prefix, and some don't. The ones that aren't prefaced by "Data Conversion" have no corresponding "Excel Source" so I'm assuming that the ones without the prefix are from the Data Conversion task.
It's inconsistent. Any ideas.
Thanks

Can anyone recomend an EXTREEMLY user friendly web based data mapping / conversion tool? I am wanting to transform csv, xml, database sources into csv, xml, db sources. There are a ton of Windows based applications (ie: www.altova.com / mapforce). I am looking for something I can expose via the web...
users has ability to upload a csv file and then define how the data would be mapped to an output source (say another csv or xml). In addition having functions like concantination, sum, if-exists, etc...
Does SSIS have a user friendly interface or has someone written some interactive tools on top of SSIS.
Any information will be greatly apreciated.
Thanx

Hi Friends,
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.
Any thoughts!

Hi All: I'm having problems creating a data connection between a windows 2000 server running .net 2.0 and a sql2005 server (server2003). I'm trying to create a connection in VWD2005 express, and when I use the visual wizard, I get a connection error with something about "named pipes" when I'm trying to connect using an alias on the server that uses tcp/ip (the alias is created in cliconfg).
If I click on "advanced properties" in the connection, and I select "TCP/IP" for the Network Library, what's displayed is "TCP/IP (DBMSGNET)" ...but shouldn't it say "DMBSSOCN"?
I'm wondering if this is correct, or a cosmetic bug in the .net sqlclient GUI, or indicative of any underlying problem that's preventing me from creating the connection?
If I manually override the connection string in web.config by entering "Network Library: DBMSSOCN", I still can't connect, getting a timeout error that the sql2005 server is not responding. But I know the server is working properly, with other .NET DB connections working within the same application...so I'm thinking this must be a problem with VWD and/or the .net framework on my local computer (not the server)?
I don't know where to begin to look to debug this problem?

Hey folks,
Today's been way too much fun...
Someone changed the name of a machine in our department and now Win2k thinks the machine's name is (for example) "Fred", but if I do a select @@servername, SQL returns (again, for example) "Barney".
The machine's name started out as "Barney".
The last time this happened, it was on an NT4 box, and we just reinstalled sql and away we went.
This time, they reinstalled sql and released the box to the team, only to find out later that reinstalling sql didn't do squat this time.
Which brings me to the question: How do I convince SQL that it's really, truly supposed to be named "Fred"?
Besides that, what do I tell Wilma, Betty, Pebbles and Bamm Bamm?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
: )
Thanks,
Tom

I am trying to import data from Access 2000 in SQL Server 2000 usingDTS. One of the tasks requires a multi-table join but I am gettingsyntax errors if I generate the query with Build Query.With just a single join like this it works fine:FROM Tracker INNER JOINbdmanager ON Tracker.bdmanager = bdmanager.name,countryBut as soon as I get it to generate an extra join, e.g.FROM Tracker INNER JOINbdmanager ON Tracker.bdmanager = bdmanager.nameINNER JOINcountry ON Tracker.country = country.country.... I get "sytax error (missing operator)". The weird thing is that itgenerated the syntax itself!I can paste the query into Access and it works fine.Why is this happening and what's the best workaround?ThanksAndy

If I alter the SqlDataSource select command in code and then bind to a gridview, I run into problems. When I do a sort, next page (basically any postback), the datasource goes back to the original state. It is like the SqlDataSource is not maintained in the state. I end up having to re-alter the SqlDataSource select command on every page_load. Is this by design or is this a bug?
Is the SqlDataSource any "smarter" than doing it the old fashion way by populating a Dataset on (!IsPostBack) ? For example, if I have a bunch of data in a paged gridview, is the SqlDataSource smart enough not to bother filling the entire dataset if I don't need it for that page's display? I know the SqlDataSource provides for update/insert/delete, but I am not doing that in this application, it is just a query/report page.
Thanks in advance

I've been writing stored procedures for a while, but right now I'm stumped on something. I've got this one error when I try to use OPENROWSET in my stored procedure that tells me I need to set my ANSI_NULLS and ANSI_WARNINGS, so I put SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET ANSI_WARNINGS ON GO into my stored procedure, I clicked check syntax (this is all in enterprise manager), it was okay, I clicked okay, it told me I needed to set those things again, so I played around some more, deleted the SET ANSI's, adding them, deleting them, moving them around, and eventually it worked after I deleted them again.
Anyone know why this happens? Where exactly are my SET ANSI_NULLS supposed to go? As a workaround I've been simply running them in the query analyzer.

Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.

I can€™t figure out how to map xml data stored in a table to a variable in integration service.
For example:
I would like to use a €śfor each loop container€? to iterate through a row set selected from database. Each row has three columns, an integer, a string and an xml data. In the variable mappings, I can map the integer column and the string column to a variable with type of int and a variable with type of string. But I am having trouble to map the xml data column to any variable. I tried using either a string variable or object. It always reports error like €śvariable mapping number X to variable XXX can€™t apply€?.
Any help?

Hello,Our company often receives data from outside sources to add to our application. This data is usually provided to us in Excel, CSV, XML, etc. The files that we receive usually have different columns from the columns in our database, so we have to map these columns to our table structure to import.I'm looking for an application that will easily allow me to load up the data file (whatever type it may be), expose the columns in the data file, allow me to map these columns in our SQL server, then import the data. I know that this can be done as DTS, however I'm looking for alternatives. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

I am developing one automation tool for data migration from one table to other table, here i am looking for one function or SP for which i will pass source column and destination column as input parameter and want output parameter to return true when source column data is compatible to copy to destination column if not then it should return false.
For example if source column is varchar and destination column is integer, the script should check all the data in source column in good enough to move to integer column or not and return the output flag. I want a script to work this for all types of data types.

There is something very strange going on here. Tested with ADO 2.7 andMSDE/2000. At first, things look quite sensible.You have a simple SQL query, let's sayselect * from mytab where col1 = 1234Now, let's write a simple VB program to do this query back to anMSDE/2000 database on our local machine. Effectively, we'llrs.open sSQLrs.closeand do that 1,000 times. We wont bother fetching the result set, itisn't important in this example.No problem. On my machine this takes around 1.6 seconds and modifyingthe code so that the column value in the where clause changes eachtime (i.e col1 = nnnn), doesn't make a substantial difference to thistime. Well, that all seems reasonable, so moving right along...Now we do it with a stored procedurecreate procedure proctest(@id int)asselect * from mytab where col1 = @idand we now find that executingproctest nnnn1,000 times takes around 1.6 seconds whether or not the argumentchanges. So far so good. No obvious saving, but then we wouldn'texpect any. The query is very simple, after all.Well, get to the point!Now create a table-returning UDFcreate function functest(@id int) returns table asreturn(select * from mytab where col1 = @id)try calling that 1,000 times asselect * from functest(nnnn)and we get around 5.5 seconds on my machine if the argument changes,otherwise 1.6 seconds if it remains the same for each call.Hmm, looks like the query plan is discarded if the argument changes.Well, that's fair enough I guess. UDFs might well be more expensive...gotta be careful about using them. It's odd that discarding the queryplan seems to be SO expensive, but hey, waddya expect?. (perhaps theUDF is completely rebuilt, who knows)last test, then. Create an SP that calls the UDFcreate procedure proctest1(@id int)asselect * from functest(@id)Ok, here's the $64,000 question. How long will this take if @idchanges each time. The raw UDF took 5.5 seconds, remember, so thisshould be slightly slower.But... IT IS NOT.. It takes 1.6 seconds whether or not @id changes.Somehow, the UDF becomes FOUR TIMES more efficient when wrapped in anSP.My theory, which I stress is not entirely scientific, goes somethinglike this:-I deduce that SQL Server decides to reuse the query plan in thiscircumstance but does NOT when the UDF is called directly. This iscounter-intuitive but it may be because SQL Server's query parser istuned for conventional SQL i.e it can saywell, I've gotselect * from mytab WHERE [something or other]and now I've gotselect * from mytab WHERE [something else]so I can probably re-use the query plan from last time. (I don't knowif it is this clever, but it does seem to know when twotextually-different queries have some degree of commonality)Whereas withselect * from UDF(arg1)andselect * from UDF(arg2)it goes... hmm, mebbe not.... I better not risk it.But withsp_something arg1andsp_something arg2it goes... yup, i'll just go call it... and because the SP was alreadycompiled, the internal call to the UDF already has a query plan.Anyway, that's the theory. For more complex UDFs, by the way, theperformance increase can be a lot more substantial. On a big complexUDF with a bunch of joins, I measured a tenfold increase inperformance just by wrapping it in an SP, as above.Obviously, wrapping a UDF in an SP isn't generally a good thing; theidea of UDFs is to allow the column list and where clause to filterthe rowset of the UDF, but if you are repeatedly calling the UDF withthe same where clause and column list, this will make it a *lot*faster.

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)
Thanks.

I am just starting out with SSIS and trying to get the feel of data cleansing using it. But on my very first project for data cleansing I've got into this weird error.
My data flow is very simple, it has a OLE DB source, Fuzzy Lookup and OLE DB destination. I've built three tables for this purpose, one is source, one is reference (it will be used to match for the real entries in fuzzy lookup) and the last is the destination table.
In all the three tables I've a field of City which I'd like to Fuzzy lookup in the reference table and if it crosses certain confidence level, I'd like to insert to the destination table. City in all the tables has the same datatype, defined in the same way, it is varchar(50).
But when in the fuzzy lookup I try to map the Source tables City field to reference tables City field, it gives me this error:
The following columns cannot be mapped:
[City, CityRef]
One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.
Although as I have mentioned before, both have same data types and are defined in the same manner (i.e. I've just selected the datatypes for those columns and all the other settings are left to default). I just cannot understand why this is happening, plz help me with this. FYI I've also tried to give the City Column different datatypes in all the tables like varchar(max), text, Only to be greeted with the same error message.
Waiting for your reply!!
Regards,
Sajid.

Hi,
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.
cheers

Hi,
For the Data Driven Subscription in SSRS we are using the following stored procedure
In Step 3 - Create a data-driven subscription
create procedure spRSGetReportSettings
(
@ReportID as integer
) as
begin
set nocount on
declare @t as table(y int not null primary key)
declare
@cols as nvarchar(max),
@y as int,
@sql as nvarchar(max)
set @cols=stuff(
(select N',' + quotename(y) as [text()]
from (select ParameterName as y from Reportsettings where reportid=1) as Y
order by y
For XML Path('')),1,1,N'');
set @sql=N'select * from
(select reportid,parametername, parametervalue from ReportSettings where reportid= ' + Cast(@ReportID as varchar(5)) +' ) as D
pivot(min(parametervalue) for parametername in(' + @cols +N')) as p'
exec sp_executesql @sql
end
Basically the idea is to maintain a single report parameter setting table for multiple reports.
Structure of the table is as given below
ReportID, ParameterName, ParameterValue.
Using Pivot we can generate the ParameterName/ParameterValue combinations for each report. This stored procedure is working fine in query editors(Management Studio)
But, in SSRS it is giving any results.
In Step 4 - Create a data-driven subscription,
Get the value from the database drop down, I am not getting any database columns.
Please help.

Hi,
I use lookups to map surrogate of level 1 dimensions to my fact tables in SSIS.
But how to handle a level 2 dimension with a ValidFrom and a ValidUntil date field?
I do not use an IsCurrent column, because this could problem with late arriving facts.
- In dts I used an SQL statement like this:
update SA
SET SA.DimProdRef = Dim.RecordID
FROM SAWarenEingang SA, DimProd Dim
where SA.ProduktNumber = Dim.ProduktNumber
and SA.ArtikelkontoBewegungsdatum between Dim.ValidFrom and Dim.ValidUntil
Now in SSIS I want to handle the whole thing in the data flow without using a staging table:
- Using Lookups: I would have to pass the date column for each inside the fact table into the lookup. That does not work.
- Using Execute SQL in the data flow: would be very slow, because the statement will be executed for any line in the dataflow
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Stefoon

Hello,
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

Hello
I have an odd problem that is driving me nutz. I have a very simple SSIS package that imports a 5 colum flatfile into a sql Server 2005 Table.
When I created this package with the wizzard, it will execute perfectly fine and processes all rows into the destination table.
But when I hit F5 to execute it manually it will fail before inserting a single row.
The error it generates is (Spalte 5 is a Datetime in the format DD.MM.YYYY) :
Error: 0xC02020A1 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Spalte 5" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".

Hi,
I have another issue. I have an excel file that I pipe through a "data conversion" task. I have set all the column data types to strings, because there's no way to know beforehand if a particular column will be number or text because the file is very non-standard (it looks more like a formatted report).
After the data conversion, I send all the rows to a script task. In the script task, I do a check on the numeric fields.
for example:
If Not IsNumeric(Row.Price) Then
Row.Price_IsNull = True
End If
However, this check fails each and every time, even if the field contains a number! I don't have this problem when using flat file sources.
So, none of my numeric fields are getting loaded to my ole db destination.
Help, is there a way around this? Or am I forced to just skip this number check altogether? I'd prefer not to.
Thanks

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.
