Error When I Try To Add Output Column In In Data Conversion
Sep 21, 2006
Here is what I get. Is this an install problem or is this how this software works??
===================================
Error at Data Flow Task [Data Conversion [720]]: An output cannot be added to the outputs collection.

I am stuck with a problem and need your help. As we know, all columns that go to error flow of flat file source connection are displayed as a single column e.g. FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn, but my requirement is to extract the first column value from this FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn, my data is dilimeted by "|" pipe operator. I have created a script component to deal with this. However if we take FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn column as input column in script component, it comes as BLOB data. I wrote below code in transformation script component to extract BLOB data from column in string form and then do a Left function search to take first column out.
When I am running this script component I am getting '??????????' question marks as a result in Row.Pname.
Can anyone please help me understand if I am doing anything wrong in this script or suggest a better way to take the data out?
I appreciate your help.

i have a weird situation here, i tried to load a unicode file with a flat file source component, one of file lines has data like any other line but also contains the character "ÿ" which i can't see or find it and replace it with empty string, the source component parses the line correctly but if there is a data type error in this line, the error output for that line gives me this character "ÿ" instead of the original line.
simply, the error output of flat file source component fail to get the original line when the line contains hidden "ÿ".
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Hi, I was wondering if it is posible as in derived columns to replace an input column with the output one in Data Conversion? What I can see that when a data conversion is done, only we can do it in a new column and not in the same one we are using as input. Do you know if this it is posible?} Thanks for your help!
I would like to get the actual name of the column that has the error. Using the ErrorColumn (int value) I thought there would be some type of lookup collection based on the input (like column names)- if there is, can someone tell me how to get to it?
I have my error output writing to a stored proc, but instead of "32226" as the column name, I need to have the actual name of the column. I am going from Flat File to OLE DB Destination. I have a Script Component getting the output to write to my sproc, and I just need to get the column name.
I think that I've done a big mess on my work... I've got plain file which must be loaded into a sql table. Up to there no problem, I use Derived Column due to columns needed be transformed with NULL, RIGHT, LEN, and so on...
But in this last package I've done half of work using Data Conversion but I've got five columns which would need be transformed but I don't know how can I do such thing. I can't connect a Derived Column from Flat File Source task, of course, it's already data conversion...
Let me know if you need further details.
Previously I think, silly idea, that it could be unified or better, that Data Conversion task allows me make transformations...
When configuring error output, I want everything that is good in the row to make it to the destination, and then the offending column that is causing an error to be set to NULL, and then sent to the destination as well. In addition, I want to take the offending column's data, and route it over to an error holding table. I know about the ability to redirect the whole row, but I just sort of want to redirect just that column. For example....
Have a table with 5 columns
col1 int null,
col2 int null,
col3 char(3) null,
col4 bit null,
col5 int null
My data flow loads data from a flat file and has a record that looks like this
1 5 ABC R 3
I want the row to make it to the destination as follows....
1 5 ABC NULL 3
Then the offending data needs to go over to my error table
Iam redirecting the error output of a OLEDB destination component to a script component. My aim is to create a HTML report having the information about the bad records, the error occuring in the rows and the column name that fails. The error output provided two new columns i.e the errorcode and errorcolumn , the errorcolumn value for a bad record gives the linage id for the column, is there a way to derieve the name of the column by using the lineage id?
select hierarchy.hiername,devicefail.deviceid ,sum(DATEDIFF(minute,started,ended)) as duration ,100 - SUM(datediff(minute,started,ended))/(672 * 60.0000)*100 AS Uptime from devicefail LEFT JOIN device ON device.deviceid = devicefail.deviceid LEFT JOIN hierarchy ON device.hierlevel = hierarchy.hierlevel where devicefail.started >= '2013-02-01 00:00:00'and devicefail.ended <='2013-02-28 23:59:59' and devicefail.componentid like 201 or devicefail.componentid like 0 group by devicefail.deviceid,hierarchy.hiername,devicefail. componentid order by hiername
Hi guys/ladies I'm still having some trouble formatting a select statement correctly. I am using a sqldatasource control on an aspx page. It is connecting via odbc string to an Informix database. Here is my select statement cut down to the most basic elements. SELECT commentFROM informix.ipr_stucomWHERE (comment > 70) The column "comment" contains student grades ranging from 0-100 and the letters I, EE, P, F, etc. Therefore the column is of a char type. This is a problem because I cannot run the above statement without hitting an alpha record and getting the following error "Character to numeric conversion error" How can I write this statement where it will work in the datasource control and have it only look at numeric values and skip the alpha values? I have tried case with cast and isnumeric... I don't think that I have the formating correct. I have also used: WHERE (NOT (comment = ' I' OR comment = ' EE' OR comment = ' NG' OR comment = ' WP' OR comment = ' WF' OR comment = ' P' OR comment = ' F')) This works but is very clunky and could possibly break if other letters are input in the future. There has to be a better way.I am sorry for my ignorance and thanks again for your help.
I'm trying to transfer data from DB2 Database to SQL Server 2005.
Well, i used the OLE DB Source, the Data Conversion Component and the OLE DB Destination component.
I have five Data flows with this configuration above. But I am receiving an error message from one of them.
Please check below the error message:
"[Source Table TARTRATE [1]] Error: The value was too large to fit in the output column "ADJ_RATE_PCT" (60). "
"[Source Table TARTRATE [1]] Error: The "component "Source Table TARTRATE" (1)" failed because error code 0xC02090F8 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "ADJ_RATE_PCT" (60)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component."
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'm trying to create a jbo to run in SQL that will update my table DeviationMaster in crcwebauth table, with the value from qvqote in table invoice_tbl in database crcbrio...I get an error in the job that says...SQLSTATE 42000 Error 8114 Error converting data type varchar to numericThe field DNumber in the DeviationMaster table is numeric 9, and qvqote is char 6.I know about the cast/convert, but I havent been able to successfully do this. I was hoping someone could show me how to get around this problem.Here is my current SQL statement that triggers the above error:update crcwebauth.dbo.deviationmaster set ldate = (select max(qvdate) from crcbrio.dbo.invoice_tbl where DNumber = qvqote)
I'm importing data from a text table, into a temp table, and then on to a final working table. I'm running into difficulty converting data from text into a 'datetime' format. I'm getting the following error:
"Arithmetic overflow error" when trying to convert into a column with the data type "DateTime"
I half expected it to reject all conversions into a Date format because of the source file being in text format, but it allows this conversion in other columns.
If I switch the Data type to 'nvarchar' instead of 'datetime' it converts and pops up with a date format.
My question is: Will this nvarchar that looks like a date behave like a date? For example, if someone tries to perform a calculation with a date format, will the nvarchar suffice, or would it cause problems?
I have created an SSIS package to run on a SQL 2005 server. This SSIS pkg was migrated from 2000 to 2005. There a Data transform task in that package to transfer data from a tbl on one server to another. In source tbl, datatype is text, and in dest (2005 tbl) datatype is nvarchar(1000). This data transfer worked just fine , in 2000 but in 2005 it is giving the foll error. But when I run my package, i get back the following error 'Column "xxx" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types'.
I tried using the data covnersion task, to convert to DT-STR, But is still failing.
I am getting the following error when I try to do a simple data conversion of columns, the columns I am converting are integer and nvarchar and I am converting them into DT_str.

I am transferring data from a Flat file source to SQL Database. Initially I got validation error saying
"Validation error. Import Employee Information: [DataFlowTask] [6384]: The column "[ColumnName] " can't be inserted because the conversion between types DT_STR and DT_DBTIMESTAMP is not supported." ( i have 6 date fields)
The destination in SQL has the field in "datetime" format.
So i used a "Data Conversion" task to transform the fields, thereby resolving the validation errors. But when i Execute the dtsx I get the following error :

Using SQL Server 2005, I hve encountered a very strange error which I cannot figure out. The simplified stored proc below basically does a select and sorts the records based on the column name given in the @SortCol parameter. When I enter the field names bapk, jhpk, etc everything works fine. The records are returned sorted by the field name entered into the parameter. The first eight variables are field names and types When I enter the field name 'descr' into the @SortCol variable/parameter, I receive the error: Msg 295, Level 16, State 3, Procedure CMSCheck2, Line 28Conversion failed when converting character string to smalldatetime data type. I don't see where this is coming from at all. The problem is in the stored proc lines beginning with 'CASE @SortCol'If I take out the lines and just use OVER (Order By descr) as RowNum -- everything is fineIf I delete the line WHEN 'descr' THEN descr -- everything is fine, it just falls through to the default. What is the problem? Where is a conversion to smalldatetime coming from? I've been working on this one for a while, and cannot figure it out. It must be something simple.

Is there a way to build a select statement that will output related rows with different column data per row? I want to return something like:
rowtype| ID | value A | 123 | alpha B | 123 | beta C | 123 | delta A | 124 | some val B | 124 | some val 2 C | 124 | some val 3 etc...
where for each ID, I have 3 rows that are associated with it and with different corresponding values.
I'm thinking that I will have to build a temp table/cursor that will get all the ID data and then loop through it to insert each rowtype data into another temp table.
i.e. each ID iteration will do something like: insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('A', 123, 'alpha') insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('B', 123, 'beta') insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('C', 123, 'delta') etc..
After my loop, I will just do a select * from #someTempTable
Is there a better, more elegant way instead of using two temp tables? I am using MSSQL 2005
I'm trying to convert a column from a varchar(14) to float, some of the rows contain some non-numeric characters. I've tried to write a cursor to step through the records, run cast(col1 as float) on each record, then use if @@error <> 0 to capture an error but it doesn't work. It steps through fine but when the cast command fails it ends the execution of the script with "Error converting data type varchar to float."
How can i capture this error without having the script fail? Is there another way to get this done?
I am using the HitSoftware driver to pass data to an AS400 from a SQL 7 database. Data makes it fine to 2 of the 4 tables but I cannot get the syntax correct to even get out of the S/P edtitor in SQL for the other 2.
I have fields in the SQL S/P defined as VARCHAR. The target fields on the AS400 are ALPHA. So I figured the insert statement to look like:
hello, I am working on an application that will import data from ascii tab-delimited files into corresponding tables in a sql server 2005 express db. The problem I am facing is that i get errors when running bulk insert. The tables all have one extra column which is a primary key identity value. Additionaly, the column data types include: int, bigint, nchar, nvarchar, datetime and bit an example table looks like this:
So, what I do is: 1. for each table I generate a character format file with the following command: bcp mydb..table format nul -f tableformat.fmt -c -T -S hostsqlexpress 2. I modify the format file to exclude the first identity column by zeroing the field length, the column order and terminator. The resulting format file looks like this:
3. I run BULK INSERT BULK INSERT tablename FROM dataFile WITH ( FIRSTROW=2, FORMATFILE = formatFile DATAFILETYPE = 'char' FIELDTERMINATOR=' ' ROWTERMINATOR=' ' KEEPNULLS )

I am inserting rows using OLEDBDestination and want to redirect all error rows to EXCEL Destination.
I have used Data Conversion Transformation to Convert all strings to Unicode string fields before sending it to Excel Destination.
But its gives the following error.
[Data Conversion [16]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column 'A' (53) to column "Copy of A" (95). The conversion returned status value 8 and status text "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".

Can someone please tell me what should I do to make it work?
I'm working on a script to merge multiple columns(30) into a single column separated by a semicolons, but I'm getting the following error below. I tried to convert to the correct value. but I'm still getting an error.
