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

Hi,
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.
thanks,
Dave Rowsome

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

I need to Transform Data from a Transoft Data Source (ODBC) into an OLE DB Connection.
The Solution that I Currently have is to Transform using the DTS 2000 Package Task.
Is there a way that I can perform this task by using SSIS

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 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 have data like this in the table :
IntRecpieID strName intMealtypeID Total
100 ‘A’ 1 20
101 'B' 2 30
100 'A' 3 40
Desired Output required:
IntRecpieID StrName 1 2 3
100 'A' 20 Null 40
101 'B' Null 30 Null
Hi everybody
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 ?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts

High all,
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?
Thanks,
Mark
My first period using SSIS in a real-world application convinced me that there

I'm stuck up with a strange problem.
When i try to setup a Transform Data task in DTS, the table drop down shows fully qualified table name.
i.e. <database name>.<schema name>.<table name>
as you can see in the attached screenshot. With this I cant see the full table name and am not able to make the correct selection.
Where can i change the properties so that it displays only the table name?
Thanks

Hello,
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?
Thank you in advance.
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?
thanks

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?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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?

(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!
Thank you.
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.
Linda
Here is the old VBScript Code:
Public Sub Main()
Option Explicit
Function Main()
Dim MovementDataDir
Dim MovementArchiveDataDir
Dim MovementDataFile
Dim MovementArchiveDataFile
Dim FileNameRoot
Dim FileNameExtension, DecimalLocation
Dim CurMonth, CurDay
Dim FileApplicationDate
Dim fso ' File System Object
Dim folder
Dim FileCollection
Dim MovementFile
'======================================================================
'Create text strings of today's date to be appended to the archived file.
FileApplicationDate = Now
CurMonth = Month(FileApplicationDate)
CurDay = Day(FileApplicationDate)
If Len(CurMonth) = 1 Then
CurMonth = "0" & CurMonth
End If
If Len(CurDay) = 1 Then
CurDay = "0" & CurDay
End If
FileApplicationDate = CurMonth & CurDay & Year(FileApplicationDate)
'=====================================================================
' Set the movement data directory from the global variable.
MovementDataDir = DTSGlobalVariables("gsMovementDataDir").Value
MovementArchiveDataDir = DTSGlobalVariables("gsMovementDataArchiveDir").Value
fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
folder = fso.GetFolder(MovementDataDir)
FileCollection = folder.Files
' Loop through all files in the data directory.
For Each MovementFile In FileCollection
' Get the full path name of the current data file.
MovementDataFile = MovementDataDir & "" & MovementFile.Name
' Get the full path name of the archive data file.
MovementArchiveDataFile = MovementArchiveDataDir & "" & MovementFile.Name
DecimalLocation = InStr(1, MovementArchiveDataFile, ".")
FileNameExtension = Mid(MovementArchiveDataFile, DecimalLocation, Len(MovementArchiveDataFile) - DecimalLocation + 1)
FileNameRoot = Mid(MovementArchiveDataFile, 1, DecimalLocation - 1)
MovementArchiveDataFile = FileNameRoot & "_" & FileApplicationDate & FileNameExtension
If (fso.FileExists(MovementDataFile)) Then
fso.CopyFile(MovementDataFile, MovementArchiveDataFile)
' If the archive file was coppied, then delete the old copy.

Hi,
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
Second Input
Key DontCareAboutThisField1
--- -----------------------
1 ...
3 ...
4 ...
Then I would like the following output:
Main Output
Key Name
--- ----
2 Jamie
Second Output
Key Name
--- ----
1 Steve
3 Donald
Can I do this with a standard transform, or will I have to write my own? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

I am importing data from Excel to a SQL table using a simple DTS. At times the DTS fails because one of the columns in the Excel file may have an invalid time date entry. Sometimes the time will be an invalid negative number and will cause an overflow error durring import to the SQL table column.
Is there a way to capture the data before writing it to the table and validate it and if it is invalid, or more specifically a negative nuimber, enter a default value or a null value?
If there is could you be specific in how to setup the DTS transformation script.
TIA

My requirement is to check whether value of a particular column is null or not. if it is null I have to enter warning messages into the temp table I have created.
For this I am using Script Transform
Now I want to know how to write info from script transform to a table using SSIS.
Currently I am using the following code in script component
[Code]
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
Dim ConnString As String
ConnString = "Data Source=ABC;Initial Catalog=XXXX;Integrated Security=SSPI;"
Dim sqcn As New SqlConnection(ConnString)
''Dim sqlCmd As New SqlCommand(ConnString, sqcn)
'sqcn.Open()
if Row.Col1_IsNull Then
sqlCmd.CommandText = "Insert into AuditLog values('ERROR','Missing','" + Row.Col5 + "','" + Row.Col6 + "') "
sqlCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
end if
End Sub

Without using SqlConnection and SqlCommand is thereany way I can get the Connection Obj and able to insert rec in the table.

I'm new to SQL Server 2005. I used the TRANSFORM query in Access to display the data I had stored in columns into rows. I want to do something similar in SQL Server 2005 but it doesnt let me. I have used the same query here, but it gives an error.
This is the query I was running in Access and it was working:
TRANSFORM Max(Schools.Expense) AS MaxOfExpense
SELECT Schools.[FiscalYear], Max(Schools.[FIPS]) AS [Total Of FIPS]
FROM Schools
GROUP BY Schools.[FiscalYear], Schools.[FIPS]
PIVOT Schools.[DataID];
If there some other syntax for SQL Server or it doesnt support this command or what???
