Error 0xC0047012 Trying To Import Flat File In SSIS
Apr 6, 2006
I'm trying to do a simple flat file import of a .csv file. The task keeps failing on me and I get the following error
Error: 0xC0047021 at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047039
I looked up the error codes and the only information I can find is that a thread is failing. What would cause this and how can I fix it? I can open the same file in Excel without any problems. I'd really appreciate any insight that anyone has to offer.

I am trying to import a flat file into SQL Server 2005 using SSIS. I have never used it before and I am getting confused by the error I am receiving.
I have a link to a flat file, that gets sent through a Derived Column flow where dates in YYYYMMDD are changed to MM/DD/YYYY format. Then the string MM/DD/YYYY is converted to a date in a Data Conversion flow. And finally the data is put into a SQL Server table (currently with no rows).
The problem I am having is with a text field with the email address in it. The error I am getting is:
[Import Allstate Auto Club [1]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "email_source" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
The problem is I can't see where in the flow the problem is. The field length is 20 wherever I look and the codepage is 1252 wherever I look. Does anyone have an insight? Keep in mind, I have never used SSIS before and I consider myself an amateur with SQL Server. It could easily be a data type conflict or something easy. Any help will be appreciated.

I have a fixed width flat file I'm trying to insert into an SQL 2005 table using SSIS -- it's a recurring task. One of the columns in the flat file has to go to a column of type Numeric. No matter what I try : a data conversion, defining the field as DT_NUMERIC in the connection,... I always get "The conversion returned status value 2 and status text :The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data". It is driving me bonkers, up to the point that I find myself wishing for the 'good old' DTS days of SQL 2000. And I dread to think what will happen when I try to port some serious, much more complex DTS packages on my SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
The data in question represents longitudes and latitudes so quite often there is a leading white space in the data : ex. : " 95.15". Surely that cannot be the cause ?
I've spent hours doing the RTFM-thing and searching the newsgroups, fora...you name it. Apart from ending up running in circles in the MS documentation, the only thing I've really learned so far is that I'm aparently not the only one driven to dispair by the new SSIS thing.
I can think of a number of ways to hack my way around this thing, but that's not the kind of 'progress' I had in mind when I started the move to SQL 2005.
Intelligent suggestions would be most welcome.

Firstly, I hope this question isn't asked too frequently but I found no existing reference to this situation....
I had a bunch of stored procedures in SQL 2k which imported and exported data to and from flat files using TEXTPTR, READTEXT, UPDATETEXT etc... The flat files were continuously changing so the filepath was a parameter for the sp.
The reason I used the pointer to flat files is because I didn't want to
load the files in memory before commiting them ie. with TEXTPTR and
UPDATETEXT I can import a 1Gb binary file 80000 bytes at a time and
keep (precious) memory usage down.
I was accessing this procs from a C# application.
Since these methods are going to be phased out by the guys at MS what is the best way of importing/exporting very large binary files in SQL 2005?
As far as I can tell SSIS requires a Flat File Source Manager object which needs a static filepath - not good.
Hope you can help,
Paul

Hi,
We have a csv file which contains a date field. The data in the field contains "0" as well as "dd/mm/yyyy". Is it possible to update all "0" to "01/01/1900" on import using SSIS.
Basically when we import the flat file now it falls over due to the destination table data type being datetime.
If this is not clear please let me know and i'll try and explain more?
Thanks for any help.

I finally put together a SSIS package that takes a Text File and successfully imports its data into the right table. My question is, where in the package's properties can I find the option to Delete all rows from Destination Columns prior to Importing. I have looked everywhere in the Package Explorer for this setting. Thanx in advance.

How do i import a Varying Column Width Flat file into a Table using SSIS?
I have a flat file that has 4 columns with varying width
Like I should read the file as
Col 1 - (1 to 10 Characters)
Col 2 - (12 to 21 Characters)
Col 3 - (22 to 35 Characters)
Col 4 - (36 to 38 Characters)
At the end of the record is a "LF"
I think "Fixed Width" Columns allow me to define a standard column length for all the columns.. Right?
Any thoughts on how to?

I have a flat file which have some record data ex.
id name team
1 "A"my" "Bl"ue"s"
2 "Bob" "Reds"
3 "Chuck" "Blues"
4 "Dick" "Blues"
in above example first record contain invalid data so complete flat file will not import due to one invalid row or record in flat file. so is there any way to check invalid row from flat file and ignore it(write log about invalid record) and process importing flat file.

I have a flat with few columns
FirstName, lastName, Address
f1,l1,a1
f2,l2,a2
I build my SSIS package based on the above file.But now i receive files with different columns order let say
lastName,FirstNamr,Address
l1,f1,a1
L2,f2,a2
or
Address,FirstName,LastName
a1,f1,l1
a2,f2,l2
every time i receive multiple files in different order and i have to remap all my mappings. These are just a few columns and i have like 20 columns and the order can potentially change any time. so every time i have build new packages remap them etc.
through normal c# code it pretty easy. I tried to add script here but the script also needs a source and mapping so there is also a mapping issue. Is there a better way to do this.

Hello,
I get errors during import process from flat files to sql table (random missing rows) when I have more files to load through a "for each loop" cycle.
If one of the files is not present (because not yet generated by an other process) many of the rows present in the next file are skipped during import operation. This happens even if the "maximumErrorCount" is set to 10000.
The error reported is Warning: 0x8020200F at Import File Bolle , Source_Bolle [1]: There is a partial row at the end of the file
Sql 2005 has Service Pack 2 installed.
Can some one help me?
Thanks and regards

The import from Flat File Source fails: Error 0xc02020a1: Data Flow Task 1: Data conversion failed.
The data conversion for column "ArticleName" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
I have changed the size of the column "ArticleName" (varchar) to max but the error comes up again.
The data i want to import came with multiple flat files. They all could import properly but this one is a problem.

We have a flat file import proces which imports data from a series of unicode flat files.
The files have text qualifiers and are being imported to a table with the following format:
CREATE TABLE [dsa].[OBS](
[Kundenummer] [nvarchar](10) NULL,
[Navn] [nvarchar](60) NULL,
[Adresse] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[PostnrBynavn] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[Kursusdato] [datetime] NULL,
[Varighed] [decimal](18, 2) NULL,
[Kursustype] [nvarchar](100) NULL,
[Risikokoder] [nvarchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
In one of our files we have two rows that looks like this:
"19298529";"THIS IS ROW 1";"ADDRESS 9 -13";"4200 SLAGELSE";"02-05-2006";8.00;"Kombikursus Førstehjælp - Brand 8 lek.";"37"
"19448242";"THIS IS ROW 2";"ADDRESS 50";"4140 BORUP";"04-05-2006";4.00;""Fra vil selv - til kan selv". Om børn 1½ - 3 Ã¥r";"22"
Both rows are OK according to the format, but the second row actually contains the text qualifier in one of the qualified fields (""Fra vil selv - til kan selv". Om børn 1½ - 3 Ã¥r"). It's the title of a course with a comment.
The proces fails on this file, and wont even redirect the row, as it does on other erroneous rows in other files we import.
We believe this is a valid text, but apparently SSIS doesn't
Is this a bug or is this record not allowed?
Is there a work around, and why wont SSIS redirect the row?
We believe the reason is that the field before is not text quaified (which is of course specified in the connection manager).
Thanks in advance,
Lasse

Hi,
I have a situation where a tab limited text file is used to populate a sql server table.
The tab limited text file comes from a third party vendor. There are fixed number of columns we need to export to the sql server table. However the third party may add colums in the text file. Whenenver the text file has an added column (which we dont need to import) the build fails since the flat file connection manager does not create the metadata for it again. The problem goes away where I press the button "Reset Columns" since it builds the metadata then. Since we need to build the tables everyday we cannot automate it using SSIS because the metadata does not change automatically. Is there a way out in SSIS?

Hello, I'm trying to import data from a flat file into a table that has smalldatetime data types. I tried creating triggers on the smalldatetime data types that converts the data from a string to a datetime value but the import is still unsuccessful. What should I do?
Col002 looks like this in my flat file 'ex: 20000112'
DTSDestination("entry_dt") = DTSSource("Col002")
I get an error when trying to put the value of col002 into entry_dt.
Thanks.

I am trying to import a flat file with large rows into MS SQL Server. This flat file consists of about 100 columns of data, followed by a set of 10 columns repeated 50 times.
I would like very much to break the data apart in the import. What's the best way to handle it?

Hi,
From the filemaker database, I am exporting data to the Flat file separated by tabs. From this Flat file I need to import into Sqlserver table. The Flat file has the 23 columns and 4000 rows.
To insert into Sqlserver table I am creating the Flatfile connection.
In the dataflow tasks, I am creating the Flatfile source, OLEDB destination and mapping the columns. And to run the package I am doing the Debug->start with out debugging.
In my flat file I have columns like SSN, Email. So in Sqlserver table I am defining the columns as the Nvarchar(200).
If I insert the 6 rows data from flat file to Sqlserver, this works fine.
If I tried to insert the 23 rows data, by clicking on Debug->Start debugging -> no data inserted into Sqlserver table. the arrow between flatfile source, OLEDB destination is showing the 450 rows. How can I view the errors?
When I mouse over on the OLEDB destination, it is showing "truncation occurs on the column (20th column) more than 512 characters.."
Initially the Output parameter length is 50 and datatype is Unicode char, I increased it to 512.
What is the problem here? If there are more columns I am not able to insert data.
How to view the errors?
Thanks

Boy, do I need HELP! Have a simple csv file that I need to import. Worked fine in sql2000; I put it into dts to execute on a monthly basis. Makes connection, db connection, table creation fine, but stops at validation of flat file?
Basically, I want to go out and get a flat file, drop the existing table, and create the table, and import the information from the flat file. Not a complicated table of about 30,000 records.
Create table [db].[dbo].[tblPatient] (
[patientID] into not null, [chartID] varChar(15) null, [doctorID] int null, [birthdate] datetime null, [sex] varchar(1) null, [raceID] int null, [city] varchar(100) null, [state] varchar(2) null, [zip9] varchar(9) null, [patientTypeID] int null, [patName] varchar(100) null)

Hi,
I'm going to be getting several flat files that need to be imported into one of two tables. Although the text files will have different file names, they will have either "Header" or "Detail" in the file name, so I can tell which table they need to be imported into.
The problem is I don't know enough about SQL Server 2005 to set up an automated import of these files into the database. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this, or have any experience in setting this up? Are there any inexpensive programs to load data realtime or on a schedule? (I work for a young company with a very tight budget).
I had an idea of creating a windows vb or batch program to create the import commands for each of the flat files, but I can't find the line command to build the import command.
I'm just at a loss and need a solution soon...
Thanks,
Laura

I have a flat file that uses tabs as the column delimiters and cr-lf as row delimiters. The first portion of the file consists of only two columns for approximately 10 rows and then the file changes to 4 columns for the balance of the file, about 21 rows. The column names are in the first column and the data of interest is in the second column for the first 10 rows and then in the third column for the last 21 rows. Is it possible to set up something like this for parsing in SSIS? I've tried using two columns in the data flow task but then I get columns 1 and 2 through the whole file. If I tell it there are 4 columns in the file, it appends rows to each other so that there is a total of 4 columns in the first 10 rows. This reduces the row count to less than 10 and the data in these rows isn't in the proper place. Is there a way to handle this file in SSIS?
TIA

Hi.
I want to import a flat file to my sql server database. My sql server and web server are on different machines. I used a bulk insert to import the data using a Format.. But now since the sql server and the web server are on different machine it doesnt load the data to the sql server..
i have tried giving http://Ipaddress/Path and that didnt work.. tried mapping the network drive to the webserver and then specified the location and that didnt work too..
I found this connection string on the internet
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c: xtFilesFolder;Extended Properties="text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Fixed";
but i am not sure how to give a ~ delimited and specify a format file..
any help will be appreciated..

I€™m looking for advice for the following scenario:
Import Source: Flat File €“ 2 columns (student#, lunch_bal)
Destination: SQL Table:
Trnpayuniq (PK)
Atype (all values = €˜S€™)
Auniq ( from flat file €“ student#)
Trnamt (from flat file €“ lunch_bal)
Trnpayc (all values = 1)
I€™ll truncate the destination table before each import.
Is the best way to create a temp table; get it populated
then update the destination table? Or
would the use of Merger (Merge Join) be the better approach.
Thanks for any direction.

I have a fixed width flat file that I'm trying to import, and I'm just about there. The last column that I'm struggling with, is a decimal amount. The data in the column looks like this 00000000500 and I need to dump it into a column as 5.000 In otherwords, the data in the file does not have any decimals, and I'm putting it into a sql server column that has the datatype numeric(11,4) I've set the InputColumnWidth to 11, the DataPrecision to 11 and the datascale to 2, and the value is still being imported as 500.000 Is there any way to achieve this other than using a script component to calculate the value? Thanks!

Hi,
I wanted to know if there was a way to import data from a flat file without specifiying the delimiters. I want to import each line in one row so that i can use the substring function to break of the data as an when i want and not as per the delimited format file or the wizard.
i.e if row one had "abc"|"1453"|"Jack"|"Smith"| etc.... rather than importing these as different columns and rows. I want this all in one row, one column.
Is it Possible?

Hi all,
I'm totally new to SQL Server 2k5 and need to do something rather basic: import some CSV files into tables. I'm getting translation errors and would like to know what's the best way to cast the strings before inserts.
I'm doing the import in BI Development Studio.
Current situation:
Created connection managers to csv files
created SQL server destinations pointing to the tables
connected them directly with a dataflow path
Ran the packadge: one import went just fine, the other one complains about conversion errors like "Conversion DT_STR and DT_I4 not supported"
Both tables have the same kind of fields (varchar, float, datetime, int)
I looked at converting the data using a transformation but am somewhat confused of which one to use.
What's the best way to transform the data before insert: derived column, import column or data conversion? Or something else I overlooked?
TIA

Hello,
I am attempting to import a fixed width flat file into a SQL Server table. When I import the file, 704 records don't make it into the table. I know this because if I do the import with MS Access 2003 into an Access table, all of the records from the flat file make it into the table. The flat files have a .txt extension.
The only possible problem that I can see is that some of the rows in the flat file do not contain the full set of characters. When I do the import into SQL Server and create a table on the fly, I still end up 704 records short. There are no error messages during or after the import.
I suppose I could isolate some of the missing records, put them into a different file and try to import them to see what would happen. Other than that, how do I begin to troubleshoot this problem? Are there known issues where records can be dropped from a fixed width file?
Thank you for your help!

Hello all,
We have been trying now for the past 2 days to import data from a flat file to sql server database but with no luck.
The real issue here is that one of the field names has a very long value.
As a result, the import fails because it is unable to truncate the value.
We really don't want the value truncated but we have not been able to import the entire data file.
We have used nvarchar(max) but it doesn't work.
Can someone please let me know if you have encountered this type of issue and how was it resolved?
Thanks in advance.

I have a a flat file that consists of 2 Columns of data that need to overwrite an existing Table that has 3 Columns of data. The Import fails because the 3rd column on the table is a Date stamp column with the Data Type of "smalldatetime" and does not allow Null data. If I were to delete this 3rd column from the table the import works great but I lose the DateTime column. How can I use the Import Wizard to import the first 2 columns from a text file and update the 3rd column with the date and time? The wizard does not seem to let me update a column unless the data for this column comes from the flat file. Please assist, thanx.

Hi,
I am trying to import from Excel file. So In between Excel file source and OLEDB destination I am using One Data Transformations to convert excel unicode characters to Sqlserver varchar.
Iam getting this following errors:
1)
Error: 0xC020901C at Data Flow Task, OLE DB Destination [382]: There was an error with input column "Copy of Zip" (615) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (395). The column status returned was: "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Copy of zip is the Data Transformation column mapped Sqlserver Varcahr(200) column of Zipcode.
In excel file the Zip codes are like this:
78712-2344
78123
12345
87651-1234
2)
The column "State" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection.
This is warning. This type of warnings are for all columns in excel file.
3) Intially I declared the Sqlserver table columns like this Varchar(100), then SSIS showing some warning like truncation of column State 255 characters to .. So I changed columns datatype from Varchar(100) to Varchar(500)? Why we need to change like this.
Thanks in advance
