Data Flow Source That Will Take A String Variable With Csv Structure?
Dec 21, 2006
I am able to use a custom script task to receive a MSMQ package and save the package contents to a flat file.
I can also use the bulk load task to push the flat file contents into a SQL table.
However, I would like to save the package contents to a variable (done, it works), and then pass that string variable to a data flow task for SQL upload. In other words, I don't see any reason to persist the msmq package contents to disk.
My question is: Which data flow source can I use that will accept a string variable? The string variable will then need to be processed with bulk load or an execute sql task.
Btw, the content of the string variable is a csv style string:
"01001","11/21/2006",15
"01001","11/21/2006",1
"01001","11/21/2006",25
"01001","11/21/2006",3
Thanks,
Trey

I'm currently setting variables at the package level with an ExecuteSQL task. This works fine. However, I'm now starting to think about restartability midway through a package. It would be nice to have the variable(s) needed in a data flow set within the data flow so that I only have to restart that task.
Is there a way to do that using an SQL statement as the source of the value in a data flow?
OR, when using checkpoints will it save variable settings so that they are available when the package is restarted? This would make my issue a moot point.

I have set up a new connection as a connection from data source, but I cannot see how to use this connection to create my Data Flow Source. I have tried using an OLE DB connection, but this is painfully slow! The process of loading 10,000 rows takes 14 - 15 minutes. The same process in Access using SQL on a linked table via DSN takes 45 seconds.
Have I missed something in my set up of the OLE DB source / connection? Will a DSN source be faster?
Thanks in advance

Hi, all here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I got a quite a strange problem with Mining structure for OLAP data source though. The problem is: I am not able to edit the mining structure in the mining structure editor. The whole data source view within the mining structure editor is greyed. Could please anyone here give me any advices for that?
Thank you very much in advance for any help for that.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

I have a SSIS package that simply moves data from a SQL database A to another SQL database B. I have update (increased) the size of a nvarchar column, on both A and B.I am wondering if there is a way to "refresh" somehow the SSIS package so I don't have to rebuild and redeploy it.The error I get now is a truncation error: "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".

I have been using a recordset destination in a data flow where I need to perform some complex manipulation on a dataset, including combining some information from a web service and updating records that already exist, vs. inserting them.
I have a script task that modifies the dataset as needed, and then saves it back to the variable it came from.
However, when it comes time to write the data to the database, I couldn't find an appropriate tool - there's no "recordset source" object in the data flow task, and use of a "for each" loop with a sql call to a stored proc takes 20 minutes for a few thousand rows.
The best way I could find around this was as follows:
Call the .NET ".GetXML" method on the dataset and put the resulting XML data into a string variable
Generate an XSD for that XML (it comes out like <NewDataSet><Table1>...)
Use an XML source in the data flow task.This works, and the same data insert that took 20 minutes via the loop / stored procs now takes under 10 seconds.
It seems horribly inefficient to have to do this - there should be a way to just dump my dataset back into a table natively without all that extra stuff.
Anyone done anything simillar?

I am new to SSIS programming, so bear with me if my question seems naive to you gurus. I have a situation that needs to set the data source for a data flow from external .NET application ('external' means that the application will run on different process than the SSIS). I am trying to set the data source on which the data flow works from my C# application in a DataSet format. Ideal solution is not to save the DataSet to any file on harddisk (I know that will work, but has the overhead of writing, reading and managing the temp file). What I want to achive is that the business logic of picking data for SSIS Data Flow to process is controlled inside my C# application, the Data Flow just does what it does best - Transformation. Have any of you successfully done this before?. Thanks!

hi all,
i have a package in ssis that needs to deliver data from outside servers with odbc connection. i have desined the package with dataflow object that includes inside a datareader source. the data reader source connect via ado.net odbc connection to the ouside servers and makes a query like: select * from x where y=? and then i pass the data to my sql server. my question is like the following:
how do i config the datasource reader or the dataflow so it will recognize an input value to my above query? i.e for example:
select * from x where y=5 (5 is a global variable that i have inside the package). i did not see anywhere where can i do it.
please help,

Slow OLEDB Source in Data Flow
Hi All,
I have a simple data flow task, composed of only an OLEDB Source, a Conditional Split, and two Execute SQL statements (both insert statements, one after the other). When I run my package in Visual Studio for debugging, I noticed that after executing around ~9800 in the first and another ~9800 records in the second insert statements, the OLEDB Source will take around 3 or 4 minutes to fetch another set of ~9800 records. I have set the DefaultBufferMaxRows property of the Data Flow to 10000. My query to retrieve those 700,000 records runs for about 2-3 mins to finish (which I think should be decent enough). Is this an expected behavior of SSIS? The expected number of records to be retrieved is 700,000, and it takes forever to finish the transfer of these records. Please help

I'm wondering if it is possible to create a flat file source on the fly while bypassing the following step:
On the Connection Managers page, add or create the Flat File connection manager, using a descriptive name such as MyFlatFileSrcConnectionManager. Then close the Script Transformation Editor.
I want to create the connection totally in script, yet i'm having a hard time proving this out...does anybody have any
experience with this?

Simple question - can I use an external stored procedure for my data flow source. I assume that I can use the OLEDB connection and go from there?
Can I use SQL command and do exec sp_thisprocedure?
Thanks for the information.

Hi
Inside a data flow task, i have a oledb source and destination. In my situation, I need to pull data from a table in the source, but also hard code some columns myself, which means my source is a blend of data from table, hard coded data, which will then have to be mapped to columns in oledb destination. Does anyone which option to choose in the oledb source dropdown for the data access mode. Keep in mind, i do need to run a a select query, as well as get data from a table. Is it possible to use multiple oledb sources and connect to one destination, because that is really what intend to do here. I am not sure how it will work, or even if its possible. Basically my source access mode needs to be a blend of sql command and table columns, how would that be implemented? Any help or advice is appreciated.

Hi all...
I'm creating a SSIS in the designer view of SQL Server BI Dev. Studio (SQL Server 2005)
I need to import a whole table from MS Access into my local SQL Server.(this task will be performed weekly, so once working I'll schedule a job for it)
I've created a 'FILE' connection to MS Access in the 'Connection Managers'.
When I'm on the 'Data Flow' tab I can't find a Data Flow Item to use as a MS Access connection.
(available on the 'Data Flow Sources' are only: DataReader, Excel, Flat File, OLE DB, Raw File and XML Sources)
What am I doing wrong/missing?
Thanks for your help.

In DTS 2000 I had a situation where I had a text file as input source and text file as output source. On migrating the package to 2005 it puts a wrapper around it which executes it as a 2000 package, the rest of the tasks are neatly converted to 2005 style tasks. I presume this to mean that this will not be supported through to the next version, and there is no direct equivalent in 2005.
My question is how do I import a non-flat file source which has different numbers of columns per line. I did ,somehow, manage to do this with 2000 but cannot seem to get anywhere with 2005.
The flat file source seems to be expecting a common number of columns and just can't seem to cope with no column delimiters on some lines. If anybody knows different I would be glad to hear about it.
Raw data is not helpful to me as only works with a specific raw type (apparently)
Went onto Bulk Insert Task but got this message
[Bulk Insert Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.Bulk load: An unexpected end of file was encountered in the data file.".
Have already browsed with this on web but only find comments about changing timeout setting.
Can find timeout settings in DataFlow source and DataFlow destinations but not in Bulk Insert Task.
As you can see this is a long and protracted question.
If the answer is simple I apologise if not blame Microsoft. Other than that have found SSIS has some nice improvements, apart from the odd vague error message I keep coming across.

Okay, this should be really simple but I don't get it. How do I use an ODBC data source in an SSIS data flow task? When I look at Data Flow Sources I see the following options:
Pointer
DataReader Source
Excel Source
Flat File Source
OLE DB Source
Raw File Source
XML Source
Which one do I use if I need to get the data from a connection manager that is ODBC based? The IBM OLEDB driver for the AS400 doesn't work correctly so I HAVE to use an ODBC driver to connect to an AS400 data source.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Hello There:
I am running a data flow within a ForEach loop wherein I am computing a value called QuotaGap. When it is 0 I do not want any further execution of the loop. I am using a Conditional Transform within this dataflow that writes a record to a table only when the QuotaGap is NOT 0. However, I am unable to terminate the execution of the loop as I am still within the dataflow.
Now, the computation of the gap requires a value from another variable called NetPurchases. I tried using an ExecuteSQL task in the control flow but could not figure out how to pass the value of the variable NetPurchases into the select statement to compute the gap. For example, the select statement would read:
select (QuotaUpperLimit - ?) As QuotaGap from <<tablename>>
I tried setting the parameter as an input as well as an output and it did not work.
Then I tried passing the entire SQL as a string within a variable. This does not work either because in order to compute the math QuotaUpperLimit - NetPurchases, both variables need to be integers but then you cannot concatenate integres together, which is what we need to do to create the SQL.
The other reason I am going through these hoops I guess is that I have not figured out a way to set the value of a variable within a data flow. I compute the value for QuotaGap within the dataflow in a ForEach loop but I have no way to pass this result to a variable called QuotaGap without using an ExecuteSQL task or another ForEach Loop.
I have spent hours on this simple issue and so have given up and looking to the good friends in this forum for help.
If what I have stated is not clear please let me know and I will try to clarify things a bit.
Thanks!

hi,
I have an aggregate transformation in a dataflow task.
It has only 1 output value.
I'm trying to assign this value to a user variable, but I can't figure out how to do that.
i can hack something silly together - like write the value to the db, and then get it out, but I there has to be an easier way..
Thanks a lot.!

My package sets a variable in an ExecSQL task. This variable is then used as a parameter in a DataFlow task that follows. Normally everything works just fine. However, sometimes if the package fails inbetween the step that sets the variable and the DataFlow, the default value of the variable is stored in the checkpoint file. (It is not failing in the step that sets the variable) When the package is restarted I can see that the variable is not set to the data value in the database, but rather it has its default (design time) value.
Anyone else see this bug?

Hi,
Quick question on how SSIS handles queries from Data Source in a Data Flow. I noticed that when I run a particular query from Query Analyzer it takes forever. But, when I run the same query in SSIS data source in a data flow. The query results are immediate.
The query plan is already cached in SQL.
Is this just something which I am seeing incorrect or is there some bit of optimization in there in SSIS. As per my understanding SSIS does not optimize the source query.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi. I am trying to extract the data returned from a store procedure to a flat file. However, it fail to execute this package in the OLE DB Source.
I select the SQL Command in the Data Access Mode, then use:
USE [SecurityMaster]
EXEC [dbo].[smf_ListEquity]
It runs ok in the Preview, but not in the Run. Then the system returns during executing the package:
Error: 0xC02092B4 at Load TickerList, OLE DB Source [510]: A rowset based on the SQL command was not returned by the OLE DB provider.
Error: 0xC004701A at Load TickerList, DTS.Pipeline: component "OLE DB Source" (510) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC02092B4.

In many DTS packages I have used parameterised queries for incremental loads from Oracle database sources using the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle.
Now I want to migrate these packages to SSIS, but the OLE DB connection for Oracle does not support parameters.
I cannot use the "SQL command from variable" data access mode because of the 4000 character limitation on the length of string variables and expressions.
Am I missing an obvious workaround?

Hello All,
I have a user variable , say max_id, which retrieves the max id from a primary key column of a table.
now in Data Flow Task, I have a Derived Column where I am creating a new column which will have the values max_id + 1 for the first record, then max_id + 2 for the second record of the derived column and so on..
and then I am mapping this derived column with that primary key column of the table, so that the new id's are different than the old ones which are already in the table, so there wont be any primary key violation.
I cannot make that primary key column as an Identity column.
my question is how do I increment this max_id user variable everytime ?
Regards,
Kapadia Shalin P.
