Date Formats From OLE DB Source (SQL) To Flat File Destination
Oct 23, 2007
I am bring a date from a OLE DB Source (SQL Command) as [select cast(convert(varchar,getdate(),101) as varchar(10))] to a Flat File Destination (CSV File). The data in the source is show as "1/1/2007", which is how I need it to display in the file. The flat file defaults to showing the data as "1/1/2007 00:00:00." I did change the destination field to a String, and still, I geting the timestamp. I tried using a data conversion transformation, and I am getting bargage data when converting the date to a string.
Can any one give me insight on how to populate a date into a comma delimeted file as "1/1/2007", not "1/1/2007 00:00:00."
Thanks in advanced.

Hi all,
I m using SSIS and i am transfering the data from Flat File Source to the OLE DB destination File. The source file contain some corrupt data which i am transfering to the other Flat file destination file.
Debugging is succesful but i am not getting any error output in the Flat file destination file.
i had done exactly which is written in the msdn tutorial of SSIS.
Plz tell me why i am not getting the error output in the destination flat file?
thanx

Hello Everyone,
Please do inform me, how can I check if there is a new record or changed record from the source.
NOTE: my source is Flat File and destination is Oracle Table.
What is needed from my side is the history load (Type 2).
This is not possible thru SCD component in Integration Services, If my source is Oracle (Even after I had added the parameters in my OLE DB)
Please do inform me about this process. Very important.
Thank you

Good day everyone,
I have implemented a simple package that has only a Data Flow Task in the Control Flow. The corresponding Data Flow Components are as follows (in the correct order):
1. A Flat File Source adpater which parses a file containing circa 1 million rows.
2. A Script Component that generates IDs for two of my destination tables.
3. A Mulicast Component that distributes all the columns retrieved from the source file as well as the 2 generated keys.
4. Four OLE DB Destination adapters where I insert the data from the different columns together with the generated keys as primary or foreign keys respectively.
My questions are mainly about how the "Flat File Source" and "OLE DB Destination" work behind the scenes.
Questions:
A. "Flat File Source" adapter:
Does the "Flat File Source" adapter load all the rows from the source file into the memory and then start pushing the rows one by one into the data flow?
My concern is actually about the huge sizes of my import files, which might eat up the memory.
Or does the "Flat File Source" adapter load a certain number of rows, pushes them into the pipeline and then fetches the next batch based on a certain configuration?
B. "OLE DB Destination":
I have set the four OLE DB destinations to "Fast Load" with a commit size of 5,000.
Can I ever run into the problem of having for instance 10,000 records inserted in Table1, but only 5,000 inserted in Table2. The error case I am thinking about is as follows:
After the second commit on Table1, an erroneous record occurs during the insertion in Table2. Thus, the second commit for Table2 gets rolled back and the whole package fails.
In this case, I get an inconsistent state in my database.
In other words, how can I synchronize the commit operation in all my destination tables, s.t. they either all commit the same batch or all do not commit it?
Thank you in advance for your support.
Regards,
Samar

Hi,
I have a data task with the following requirements:
1) Run query against database to retrieve rows
2) Add header and footer row to the result set. The footer row must contain a count of the records.
3) Write the rows to a fixed width file if there were any data rows
I have got to the point that I can create the file (using a set of tasks that includes derived columns, sorts, aggregation and merges). However the file is created regardless of whether there were data rows returned.
I can't check the row count before proceeding as this isn't set until the data task ends. And if I try to split them into separate data tasks (so that I can access this variable and perform conditional execution) it becomes harder to access the original rows.
Do you have any recommendations on the best way to achieve this?
It all seems to be very complex and I'm starting to feel that it would be easier to do this outside of SSIS...
Please help me to keep the faith!
For those interested this is a slightly simplified version of what I have so far (all within a single data task):
1.Run dummy sql to create header row 2.Run main SQL to retrieve rows
| |
| 3.Multicast
| | |
| | 4.Create footer row by doing sum() in aggregate task
| | |
| 5.Merge body and footer
| |
6. Merge header with body and footer
|
7. Create fixed width file

Hi,
I am testing SSIS and have created a Flat File Destination. I defined the Flat File Connection as New for the first time and it worked fine. Now, I would like to go back and modify the Flat File Connection in the Flat File Destination Editor, but it allows only to create a New connection rather allowing me to edit the existing one. For testing, I can go back and create a new connection, but if my connection had 50-100 columns then it would be an issue to re-create it from scratch.
Did someone else faced this issue?
Thanks,
AQ

I have a Rounding error: Between flat file connection manager Source & OLE DB Connection Destination (SQL Server 2005) in my Dataflow.
File looks like this lets call column names Col A,B,C,D
70410000 RD1 1223631.92 196042.42
70329000 ICD 11025.84 3353.88

flat file connection manager settings: first row Column names then Advanced tab Col A float , Col B float , Col C string ,Col D float ,
OLE DB Connection Destination (SQL Server 2005)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PT_CUST_ABR](

[PARTY_NAME] [varchar](75) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[TELECOMABR] [float] NULL,
[GENIABR] [float] NULL,
Problem: ColA (Source) Rounding error to PARTY_NO (Destination)
I have a field of text of in a flat file that the flat file connection manager Source picks up correctly 70000893?
However when it gets the OLE DB Connection Destination the data has changed to 70000896. Thats before its even Written to the database.
The only clue that something is wrong in the middle is the great Data viewer shows the number as 7.000009E+07
Other clues looking at the data it appears there is a rounding error on only the number that dont end in 00
ColA (Source) PARTY_NO (Destination)
71167300 71167296
70329000 70329000
70410000 70410000
Any ideas people?

I am transferring data from an OLEDB source to a Flat File Destination and I want the column width for all of the output columns to 30 (max width amongst the columns selected), but that is not refected in the Fixed Width Flat File that got created. The outputcolumnwidth seems to be the same as the inputcolumnwidth. Is there any other setting that I am possibly missing or is this a possible defect?
Any inputs will be appreciated.

Need to know how I can get the dynamic filename created in the FlatFile destination for insert into a package audit table?
Scenario: Have created a package that successfully outputs Dynamiclly named flat files { Format: C:Test’Comms_File_’ + ‘User::FileNumber’+’_’+Date +’.txt’
E.g.: Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt etc} using Foreach Loop Container :
* Enumerator Set to: “Foreach ADO Enumerator” with the ADO object source variable selected to identify how many total loop iterations there are i.e. Let’s say 4 thus 4 files to be created
*Variable Mappings : added the User::FileNumber – indicates which file number current loop iteration is i.e. 1,2,3,4
For the DataFlow task have a OLDBSource and a FlatFile Destination where Flat File ConnectionString is set up as:
@[User::Output_Path] + "Comms_File"+ @[User:: FileNumber] +"_" + replace((DT_WSTR, 10) (DT_DBDATE) GETDATE(),"-","")+ ".txt"
All this successfully creates these 4 files:
Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt, Comms_File_3_20150724.txt, Comms_File_4_20150724.txt
Now the QUESTION is how do I get these filenames as I need to insert them into a DB Audittable. The audit table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MMMAudit
(
AuditID INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL,
PackageName VARCHAR(100) NULL,
FileName VARCHAR(100) NULL,
LoadTime DATETIME NULL,
NumberofRecords INT NULL
)
To save the Filename & how many records in each file in our Audit Table, am using an Execute SQL Task and configuring it as this:
Execute SQL Task
Parameter mapping - Mapped the User Variable (RecordsInserted) and System Variable( PackageName) to Insert statement as shown below
SQLStatement: INSERT INTO [dbo].[MMMAudit] (
PackageName,NumerofRecords,LoadTime)
(?,?.GETDATE)
Again this all works terrific & populates the dbo.MMMAudit table as shown below BUT I also need to insert the respsctive file name – How do I do that?
AuditID PackageName FileName NumberOfRecords
1 MMM NULL 12
2 MMM NULL 23
3 MMM NULL 14
4 MMM NULL 1

Hello friends,
I have the following (simplified):
1. Flat File Source
2. Conditional Split, Case Good = !ISNULL(KEY) Case Error = ISNULL(KEY)
3. Case Good -> Writes to Good Flat File (with timestamp in the title)
4. Case Error -> Writes to Error Flat File (with timestamp in the title)
Most job runs have no errors but the error file is created as a zero byte file anyway. If there are no error records I don't want the error file created. How might I accomplish this?
Thanks

I am using SSIS to create a weekly data extraction that will be emailed to an external agency. I can extract the data, create the file and email it without any problems but I want to compress and encrypt it before I send to give some measure of protection to sensitive data it would contain.
If I did this manually, I would simply use Winzip to compress and encrypt the file to be sent. How can I achieve a similar result programtically?

Hi,
I am trying to access from OLE DB source. And based on one of the columns, I need to write the data to a Flat File Destination.
For Example,
CustID, ProductID, Product Name, Product Description
Say I am going to write to a different Flat File for every product. So if there are 10 products in the data. There should be 10 Flat Files. Also the file name should include the Product Name And Product ID.
It is being done in a single Data Flow Task.
Right now the Property Expression for the File Name is which is not working)
Code Snippet@DestFolder + [Data Conversion].ProductID + @TodaysDate + ".txt"
The ProductIDs are in the ascending order. Any help or guidance?
Thanks

I have a database app, and we're implementing various data export features using SSIS.
Basically, it's a couple of straight extracts of various recordsets/views, etc. to CSV (flat files) from our SQL Server 2005 database, so I'm creating an SSIS package for each of these datasets.
So far, so good, but my problem comes here: My requirements call for users to select from a list of available columns the fields that they want to include in their exported file. Then, the package should run, but only output the columns specified by the user.
Does anyone have any idea as to the best way to accomplish this? To recap, at design time, I know which columns the users will have to choose from, but at run time, they will specify the columns to export to the flat file.
Any help or guidance here is greatly appreciated

Here's what I want to do -
Dynamically load a flat file from a dynamic source table-
The source table metadata is known via the SYSOBJECTS and SYSCOLUMNS tables- I can pull the column names, type and lengths from these tables based on the table name. (my goal is pretty simple- pull data from a table in our database, and save it down to a flat file)
Would this be enough to dynamically create the destination flat file? If so, how do I do it?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a dataflow task with two components: OLE DB source --> Flat File destination
In the OLE DB source, I am accessing a view, not a table.
However, when I attempt to map the view's input columns to the flat file destination columns, the screen is completely blank. There's none of the usual drop downs that let you select the column name, nor can I drag and drop the input column from the upper pane to the lower pane.
Is there a trick to doing this?
Thanks

Currently we're working on an SSIS package to extract data from a SQL Server database to several fixed width flat files.
Some of the data needs to be formatted/converted in a certain way
DateTimes need to be formatted in ISO8601Booleans need to be 0/1 instead of False/True...Has anybody any idea what the preferred approach (best practice) would be to do these conversions?Convert everything in the select query? What about readability of your query?
Do it somewhere in the package? If so, how?....

Hi
I am trying to use a conditional split task so that I can check for specific fields. If the value doesn't exist I am piping the records to a derived field task, where I add an error. I then try to send these records to a flat file destination so that I can keep track of them. However, when I execute the SSIS data flow task I get the following error
[Log Invalid Records [5496]] Warning: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
This file isn't being used by any other process as far as I can tell, and the only process using it is the SSIS task trying to write to it.
If anyone has any ideas, then I would really really appreciate it
Thanks

Hi,
Here is my problem :
I work on a SSIS package with SQL SERVER 2005
I need to extract data from a table and put these data in csv files
But... the flat files name should be dynamic and assigned by a variable ...
Here's an example of my table :
Column header :
Id, Name, Number
1 TOM 22
2 TOTO 44
3 SAM 44
4 RADIO 55
I expect to have 3 csv files :
USER_22.csv
USER_44.csv
USER_55.csv
for example : USER_44.csv contains :
2;TOTO;44
3;SAM;44
if there's 50 different number, i expect 50 files
can i do that in a dataflow ?
thanks for answering

I'm unable to figure out how to write a column header to my flat file destination. My source is a OLE DB SQL query and I need the column names as a header row in my text file destination. This seems easy but the closet I can find is hardcoding the column header row in the header property. Is this the only option?

I need to create a number of flat files, all with the same layout and sourced from the the same table, but with different criteria.
The first set of (three) flat files file is created out of a simple Conditional Split transformation: If Source Table row number > 40,000 route to File 3; if row number > 20,000, route to file 2, otherwise route to file 1. This gives me 20,000 rows in files 1 & 2 and the remainder in file 3.
I also want to create a fourth flat file by joining the Source Table with a sample table and selecting only those rows where the Customer numbers match. I'm currently doing this in two stages: An Execute SQL Task performs the join and inserts the selected rows into a Destination table (identical layout to source table), and then a simple data flow moves the rows from the Destination table into the fourth flat file.
My problem is that the order of the columns in the first three flat files is different from the fourth file. I've tried creating the fourth flat file with a single data flow using a Merge Join transformation which didn't work because the tables aren't sorted in the correct sequence, and I couldn't get an OLE DB Command transformation to work either.
I'm not sure why the column order of the 4th file should be different seeing as how its contents are sourced from the same Source table, but is there a cunning way of setting this up so that the columns end up in the same order?

Hi,
I am using a data flow task, and outputting the results from the ole db source adapter to a flat file by calling a function. That part works fine.
However, I want the text fields to be surrounded by double-quotes, like so:
"data1", "data2", "data3"
However, what I'm getting is:
"data1 ","data2 ","data3 "
I tried both specifying a "text qualifier" and when that didn't work, I removed the text qualifier and put quotes around the columns in my select statement. But that didn't work either.
How do I get rid of the spaces?
Thanks

Here is the Scenario.
I have a flat file with name "Employee.txt " (Full url: C:Employee.txt) .The File content is like this
Anil,Engineering,1997
Sunil,Sales,1981
Kumar,Inventory,1991
Rajesh,Engineering,1992
(Note: Items are Comma Seperated)
Now, i have a SQL Server database called "EmployeeDB" which has 2 tables "TblEmp1", "TblEmp2".
The Table is like this.
TblEmp1 : Columns
EmpName EmpDept EmpjoinDate
TblEmp2 : Columns
EName EDate Edept
using integration services (SSIS) i need code(vb.net or c#) to Create a dtsx package so that i can push the flat file content to these 2 tables.
And the condition is :
After Executing the package Data loaded in TblEmp1 should be like this
EmpName EmpDept EmpjoinDate
Anil Engineering 1997
Sunil Sales 1981
Kumar Inventory 1991
Rajesh Engineering 1992
(No change in order compared to source)
And Data loaded inTBLEmp2 should be like this
EName EDate Edept
Anil 1997 Engineering
Sunil 1981 Sales
Kumar 1991 Inventory
Rajesh 1992 Engineering
Now, i know that we need to do like this in wizard
1) Create a flat file source component.
2) Create flat file connection and set the properties of flat file (delimeters and other things)
3) Create a Multicast Component.
4) Create a Path between Flat file source and Multicast.
5) Create 2 destination component(each for a table).
6) Create path from multicast to 2 destination components
7) Create a OledbConnection and set table names for 2 destination components..
7) Now,i have to do mapping for destination1.8) Now, i have to do mapping for destination2( this mapping will be different from mapping done for destination1 because iam not inserting the data in the same order in which iam doing for TBLEmp1.
I have done it in wizard.I need to do it through code and i know that its not complicated.Please find the attached file with this mail.i have attached a screen shot of how i have done in wizard.The main problem is Mapping differently for 2 destinations from source.for 1st one we can have a forloop for mapping.but for 2nd one iam confused!!
