I have a package that fails as soon as it hits the first Data Flow that contains a Derived Column task. The task takes three date columns and looks for a date of 6/6/2079. If it is there, it is replaced with a NULL. This task worked fine until I installed the Non-CTP version of SQL 2005 SP1, earlier today. (I went from RTM 9.0.1399 to SP1 9.0.2047)Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is the error I am trapping:
An error occurred while evaluating the function.
The "component "Update Max Date Value to NULL" (346)" failed because error code 0xC0049067 occurred, and the error row disposition on "input column "WeekEndingDate" (455)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
The ProcessInput method on component "Update Max Date Value to NULL" (346) failed with error code 0xC0209029. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running.
Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0209029.
I tried to configure the error output to ignore the failure. The task succeeded. It did not insert anything, however, for the three columns in question. It then failed on the next Data Flow that contained a Derived Column task. I tried to pre-populate the columns with a default date, but no go. Any help would be appreciated.
how to declare multiple derived columns in SSIS Derived Column Task in one attempt.as i have around 150 columns coming from Flat file. I had created the required Expression in Excel and now i want add those in derived column task but its allowing only 1 expression at a time.
I have a excel file which has a column called "Code" and their values are A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. I want to create a new column called "status" based on the values of "Code".
Code:
A B C D E F G H
If A,C,E,G then "status" = "Active" else if B,D,F,H then "Status" = "Inactive". I like to do it using "Derived Column".
I have flat file source from which data is imported to a Sql table.The target column is int and input column is string .The column has some numeric values and some blank values.when I tried to convert into int values it fails.
I mean for example if I needed to replace xx in a string with empty string then the following works: REPLACE(SelectedString, "xx","")
But the example I have needs to actually replace quote marks in a string with an empty string and REPLACE(SelectedString, " " ","") doesn't work. I tried guessing a few option like "E or &QTE or something...
I am moving data from an oracle database to sql server. Two of the source fields are dates, which sometimes contain values I know to be incorrect ('0001/01/01' and '1900/01/01').
I'd like to use either the derived column or script task (or any other appropriate one) to update these incorrect values (in both columns) to null before inserting into sql server, smalldatetime field.
In sql 2000 dts, I would simply use a VBScript IF statement, but I'm somewhat clueless when it comes to .Net.
Does anyone have any ideas or sample code that may help?
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
In the derived column transformation editor, I have a Derived column name called FileGroupID. I would like to pass in a value for this column from a variable that I have set earlier in the scope. Can someone let me know, how to write the expression that does that and where do I specifiy that expression. I am thinking its the expression field in the derived column transformation editor. My main question is how to actually write the expression, what is the syntax to pull the variable value? Thanks.
I'm running SQL Server 7.0 SP3 and having trouble with DTS.
I have an Execute SQL Task that runs several stored procedures. When one of the stored procedures fails, the Execute SQL Task just terminates without failing.
I found a knowledge base article (Q238523) dealing with this situation but it was supposedly fixed in SP2 - I have SP3! The other work around suggested, issuing a SET NOCOUNT ON, does not always work.
Has anyone else run into this or have any other suggestions.
I hate the thought of spending days doing another work around in order get basic DTS functionalty to work as it should!
I have just started learning SSIS. I have created a new package which is as follows :
SOURCE QUERY ----> Derived Column ------> Destination Customer Info
Source Fields are FirstName LastName OrgCode Phone Ref1
The Derived column is adding a new Column name FullName and the friendly expression for it is FirstName + "Null" + LastName
Destination has all the columns are same as source columns with similar datatypes.
When i start the debugging process i get the following error:
[Destination - CustomerInfo [29]] Error: Column "FullName" cannot be found at the datasource. [Destination - CustomerInfo [29]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Destination - CustomerInfo" (29) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
When any of my tasks or script tasks in my control flow, or data flow, have an error, the entire package, and then the calling package fail, as far as I've seen, through some CTP versions, beta versions, and the release version of SQL Server 2005.
But, I've just made a change, in an sproc called from an ExecuteSQL Task in a PreExecute event attached to a DataFlow, and that ExecuteSQL Task is reporting an error in the output window, but the package execution is not being stopped. Why not?
I see something like so
Error: 0xC002F309 at MyExecuteSqlTaskName, Execute SQL Task: .... Task failed: MyExecuteSqlTaskName Warning: 0x80019002 at OnPreExecute: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
repeated many times in the output stream, and the same thing for the PostExecute event attached to the same object.
I'm disappointed, because I want errors propagated upwards, as I'm used to.
I looked, and as far as I can tell, all my ExecuteSQL tasks (in events and in the regular control flow) have the default settings of
Do I have to go revise these settings on every ExecuteSQL Task in every event handler in every SSIS package? (That will be exceedingly tedious.) Do I set these on the ExecuteSQL task inside the event? Do I set these on the event handler itself?
I am using the SMTP Task to send an email to about 200 individuals with their own specific attachment. If it cannot find the attachment the SMTP Task fails.
Is there a way to log the failure and have it keep going? That way it will still process everyone, but I would get a list of those who didn't receive the email because there was a problem.
I looked at Jamie Thompson's blog and he had a great script to send out emails. But if I use that, I haven't yet figured out how to pass the filename variable to it and attach the file. Even if I use that script, how do I deal with the errors?
[Derived Column [192]] Error: Converting an input column from type DT_STR to type DT_WSTR failed. An error occurred while performing the implicit conversion on the input column.
But I don really understand y there is a attempt to type cast at all ?
Hi all€”Given a date field called [Reading Date] and a time field called [Reading Time], I am attempting to use the following transformation on the field to test for nulls and combine the data into a single field called [Reading Date/Time]:
Error at Data Flow Task [Derived Column1[177]]: Attempt to parse the expression "(DT_WSTR)([Reading Date]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Date]) || (DT_WSTR)([Reading Time]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Time])? (DT_DBDATE)GETDATE() : (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],7,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],1,4) + " " + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],1,8))" failed. The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element. It might not be well-formed or might be missing part of a required element such as a parenthesis.
Here is a sample [Reading Date]: 05/07/08

I need to be able to handle exceptions if one or both contain NULL or no data at all. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I have created a program that imports a csv into the sql server. but during that import I need to track all the errors that occured for some malformed rows. I think I need to use the error output collection of the dataflow components to track the errors. I figured out that every dataflow component has a error output collection along with the data output collection. I want to write those error outputs into a separete database. So, I have created a SQL server data destination component and created a path between derived columns error output and it input collection. But it is not working as expected. can any body help on this?
or can anyone give me any example how to use/handle error output collection in SSIS?
I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.
I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.
I hope someone can help me work through this.
Thanks in advance,

Hi, I have dates in "mmddyy" format coming from the sources and they are older dates of mid 80s like 082580 for instance.
When I cast it this way (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) Source_Date , It says ok but throws a runtime error.
When I hardcode a date in same format, (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) "082580" , It becomes red (an indication of syntax error) . Please note that we use double quotes in expressions in Derived Column Transformation; So an anticipation that using double quotes over single ones would be the syntax problem would be wrong.
Hey all - got a problem that seems like it would be simple (and probably is : )
I'm importing a csv file into a SQL 2005 table and would like to add 2 columns that exist in the table but not in the csv file. I need these 2 columns to contain the current month and year (columns are named CM and CY respectively). How do I go about adding this data to each row during the transformation? A derived column task? Script task? None of these seem to be able to do this for me.
Here's a portion of the transformation script I was using to accomplish this when we were using SQL 2000 DTS jobs:
' Copy each source column to the destination column Function Main() DTSDestination("CM") = Month(Now) DTSDestination("CY") = Year(Now) DTSDestination("Comments") = DTSSource("Col031") DTSDestination("Manufacturer") = DTSSource("Col030") DTSDestination("Model") = DTSSource("Col029") DTSDestination("Last Check-in Date") = DTSSource("Col028") Main = DTSTransformStat_OK End Function *********************************************************** Hopefully this question isnt answered somewhere else, but I did a quick search and came up with nothing. I've actually tried to utilize the script component and the "Row" object, but the only properties I'm given with that are the ones from the source data.
I want to have an other employee table named employee_modified
Empno empname salary commission derived_column1(salary+commission) derived_column2(derived_column1 + xxxx) and so on derive other columns based on the earlier derived columns)
Is that possible to do it.. or am I doing something wrong.

Executing the simplest of Web Service tasks consistently fail with the error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
This really isn't a very helpful message for this task, and there's nothing from the task editor that can be adjusted. I am using SP1, the HTTP connection to the service tests OK, the WSDL file downloads OK, and the methods and parameters appear OK.
for some reasons, I have to get access to the TaskHost during validation and execution. For example, I wanna know, if my task is within a container or not (parent is Sequence).
For the UI during design time, there is the TaskHost parameter. What about the execution time or during validation?
I am having problems with an SSIS package whereby the first step of the package is failing. I am getting the following error message:
Unable to connect to FTP server using "FTPLocation".
This only happens when I use a Agent Proxy as the 'Run as' option. If I change it back to SQL Agent Service Account it works perfectly.
For the credentials of the proxy, I have used my own windows login as the identity. And I have full priveleges on the server, ie if I log on to the server I can successfully ftp to the same site and download the file without any problems. So shouldn't the Agent be able to do so too when it uses my credentials?

Hi, how are you? I'm having a problem and I don't know if it can be solved with a derived column expression. This is the problem:
We are looking data in a a sql database.
We are writting the SQL result in a flat file.
We need to transform data in one of the columns.
For example: we can have 3 digits as value in a column but that column must be 10 digit length. So we have to complete all the missing digits with a zero. So, that column will have the original 3 digits and 7 zeros. How we can do that tranformation? We must do it from de the flat file or it can be a previous step? Thanks for any help you can give me. Regards,
The thing is I am using a DTS package to get data from db2 residing on a s390-mainframe and put it in a sql 2000 db on windows 2000 server..
I have the odbc driver that the server guys gave me..I installed it and then run a batch pgm, which i think does the database set up...in short i set up the DSN's in my local machine..I can use the dsn when i use the sql client...
I can't create a new package and then complete the task..Problem is when i try set up a transform task, i get a memory error...it says that the instruction referenced a memory location that can't be read...
So what i do is i use the import task in sql...which inturn uses the same odbc connection and runs the query on db2..inserts the results into a table in sql..then save the package...Only problem is that i can't edit the transorm task...same memory error...
Any idea why this happens ?? I would like to see how i can get past this using Odbc...
I have a DTS package in SQL Server 2000 that has a Send Mail task to shoot me an email when it completes. When I tested this manually it ran fine however when it runs as a scheduled job in the SQL Agent the Send Mail task fails.
Prior to being able to send emails I installed Outlook so I could build a MAPI profile. With the MAPI profile there I am able to create and at least manually test a Send Mail task. From experience I believe this issue arises due to the fact that when I'm logged in Outlook is running but when I'm logged out of the Server, it is not running and so the task fails.
Using SQL 2005, SSIS, I have an SSIS package which is scheduled as a SQL Server Agent job. The package contains a Send Mail task. This task fails when SQL Agent runs the package. The task succeeds when executed interactively from the package, logged on as the SQL Agent service account. The package as a whole succeeds when executed from "Start Debugging". An Execute SQL Task in the same package containing an sp_send_dbmail statement succeeds when SQL Agent runs the job, and the same sp_send_dbmail succeeds in Mgmt Studio query window. All these events all logged onto the server as the SQL Server/SQL Agent service account.
I would appreciate ideas on what else to check for here, so that I can use the Send Mail SSIS task in packages which are run by SQL Agent jobs.
