Error When Using IIF On Source Column
Sep 23, 2005
Cannot add functions like:
iif("dbo"."FACT_Sales_order_transaction"."DeliveredQty" > 0,1,0)
on the Source Column property on a measure in my cube.
Get error "the column is not valid"
I'm sure it's a valid name !
I have a measure called so and
commands like "dbo"."FACT_Sales_order_transaction"."DeliveredQty"- "some other measure" works fine.
It works fine if I try the same on the Tutorial Sales cube:
iif("sales_fact_1998"."store_sales" > 0,1,0)
Only difference is "dbo"... Should work on SQL-server also ???

Hi everyone,
I am using SSIS, and I got the folowing error, I am loading several CSV files in a OLE DB, Becasuse the file is finishing and the tak dont realize of the anormal termination, making an overflow.
So basically what i want is to control the anormal ending of the csv file.
please can anyone help me ???
I am getting the following error after replacing the '""' with '|'.
The replacng is done becasue some text sting contains "" wherein the DFT was throwing an error as " The column delimiter could not foun".
[Flat File Source [8885]] Error: The column data for column "CountryId" overflowed the disk I/O buffer.

Hello All,
I have come across this issue with the Flat File Source when the delimiter is set to a comma.
"""KAILUA KONA,HI""","CA",
In the data snippet above and with the setting of using a comma as a column delimiter
and a " as the text qualifer.
the data will be parsed in this fashion:
"""KAILUA as a column:
HI""" as a column
CA as column
when it should be
"KAILUA,HI" as a column
CA as column.
Is there a way to let the Flat File Source to let it know not to parse the data in multiple quotes ?
Thank you

Hi,
I am trying to set up a data flow task. The source is "SQL Command" which is
a stored procedure. The proc has a few temp tables that it outputs the final
resultset from. When I hit preview in the ole db source editor, I see the
right output. When I select the "Columns" tab on the right, the "Available
External Column List" is empty. Why don't the column names appear? What is
the work around to get the column mappings to work b/w source and
destination in this scenario.
In DTS previously, you could "fool" the package by first compiling the
stored procedure with hardcoded column names and dummy values, creating and
saving the package and finally changing the procedure back to the actual
output. As long as the columns remained the same, all would work.
Thats not working for me in SSIS.
Thanks in advance.
Asim.

Hi,
I’m attempting to use DTS to import data from a Memo field in MS Access (Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider) into a SQL Server nvarchar(4000) field. Unfortunately, I’m getting the following error message:
Error at Source for Row number 30. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1.
Data for source column 2 (‘Html’) is too large for the specified buffer size.
I also get this error message when attempting to import the same data from Excel.
Per the MS Knowledgebase article located at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281517, I changed the registry property indicated to 0. This modification did not help.
Per suggestions in other SQL Server forums, I moved the offending row from row number 30 to row number 1. This change only resulted in the same error message, but with the row number indicated as “Row number 1�. (Incidentally, the data in this field is greater than 255 characters in every row, so the cause described in the Knowledgebase article doesn’t seem to be my problem).
You might also like to know that the data in the Access table was exported into this table from a SQL Server nvarchar(4000) field.
Does anybody know what might trigger this error message other than the data being less than 255 characters in the first eight rows (as described in the KB article)?
I’ve hit a brick wall, so I’d appreciate any insight.Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I have a SSIS package with a Data Flow task. This task transfers the data from SQL Server 2000 to a table in SQL Server 2005.
I deployed and tested this package on the Test Server. Then put this package in a job and executed it - Works fine.
On the production server- If I execute the package through DTEXECUI, it works fine. But when I try executing it through a job- the job fails and it gives me following error:
Description: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The "external metadata column "T_FieldName" (82)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection....
What I don't understand is, why are there no errors displayed when I execute the package through DTEXECUI.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am trying to create a program that transfers tables to flat files.
At this point in time, I have suceeded in created one that creates delimited files.
However, I am now trying to create fixed-width files as you can do with the SSIS designer, but programatically.
Is there a way to programatically determine the width of a column from the source table? I can not seem to find any kind of function or member that stores this information or allows me to retrieve it.
I know what I need to change in order to set a width for a column, but I just don't know how to find the width without just asking the user to provide one.

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:
'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic Transformation Script
'************************************************************************
' 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.
thanks in advance!

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 hope you can help me with issue.

Is there a way to control the types for output columns of a DataReader Source? It appears that any System.String will always come out as DT_WSTR. As I have my own managed provider, and I know what went in, I can say that really it should be DT_STR. The GetSchemaTable call from my provider will always say System.String as it does not have much choice, but GetSchemaTable does contain a ProviderType which is different for my DT_STR vs DT_WSTR, or rather when I want each. I think something like MappingFiles as used by the Wizard would work, but can I do anything today?

I am converting the contents of 64 lookup tables from individual tables (each called lookup_xxxxx) into a single LookupReference table. The individual lookup tables are my OLE DB Source objects. I want to derive the variable part of the lookup_xxxxx table name from the OLE DB Source 'OpenRowset' property as a variable and make it into a derived column (which will be the lookup Type column in the output table). For example, extract "SpeciesType" from the input source called 'lookup_SpeciesType' and put it into the derived column.
I cannot find a System variable that refers to the input data source. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
I am creating a 2005 SSIS Package with multiple data flows with source data based on the XML Source and a XSD Schema that we have created. These data flows load data from XML into different tables in our data warehouse for order data so the XSD Schema has several hierarchies. Because each data flow loads data into one table (I broke it out this way to make the package easier for readability and maintance) and the source for each is based on the XSD hierarchies I receive numerous warnings similar to the following; "Warning: 0x80047076....Removing this unused output column can increase Data Flow task performance." that I would like to remove. However, when I un-check the box to remove those output columns (which leaves several hierarchies without output columns) I then receive a error similar to the following; "Error: 0xC00470B9 at ....contains no output columns. An asynchronous output must contain output columns."
So the question is how to remove the numerous remove column warnings? I have thought about creating one XML schema for each dataflow, breaking the data flows into different packages, etc. but I am still not exaclty sure how to remove the warnings which should increase the speed of the package overall. Thank you!

Hi All,
I have a particular issue that has been causing me some problems for a while. I have an SSIS package that imports an excel file into my database, and then performs various data manipulation that I won't go into. The problem I am having is at the import end. The excel source file I am working on is provided to me by my client. It is a fixed format and doesn't change, it contains a header row and there are 32 headings. The trouble I am having is that quite often, the last column is empty, i.e. it contains no data. The header is still there, but theres no data underneath. When I try to import this file using my SSIS package it fails, and complains about needing to remove the metadata for this final column from the External Columns list (VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA). When I try to preview this file in the properties of the Excel Data Source, the last column does not exist. It's as if it's determining that as there is no data in that final column, that it's unnecessary and not part of the data set, even though it has a header.
Now I've done a bit of research, and found cases that a sort of like mine, I know that the excel file has the first 8 records sampled to determine the data format. This problem suggested to use the IMEX=1 extension in the connection string, which didn't help. I also discovered that when using flat files, if you have odd numbers of columns in your comma seperated list there can be problems. But neither of these issues seem to match the issue I'm facing.
Has ANYONE had a similar problem to me, and can anyone offer any kind of assistance regarding what I need to do to import an excel file that may or may not have data in the final column?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

What is the best way to deal with a flat file source when you need to add a new column? This happens constantly in our Data Warehouse, another field gets added to one of the files to be imported, as users want more data items. When I originally set the file up in Connection Managers, I used Suggest File Types, and then many adjustments made to data types and lengths on the Advanced Tab because Suggest File Types goofs a lot even if you say to use 1000 rows. I have been using the Advanced Tab revisions to minimize the Derived Column entries. The file is importing nightly. Now I have new fields added to this file, and when I open the Connection Manager for the file, it does not recognize the new columns in the file unless I click Reset Fields. If I click Reset Fields, it wipes out all the Advanced Tab revisions! If I don't click Reset Fields, it doesn't seem to recognize that the new fields are in the file?
Is it a waste of time to make Advanced Tab type and length changes? Is it a better strategy to just use Suggest Types, and not change anything, and take whatever you get and set up more Derived Column entries? How did the designers intend for file changes to be handled?
Or is there an easy way to add new fields to this import that I am overlooking? I am finding it MUCH more laborious to set up or to modify a file load in SSIS than in DTS. In DTS, I just Edit the transformation, and add the field to the Source and Destination lists, and I'm good to go. My boss isn't understanding why a "better" version is taking so much more work!
thanks,
Holly

Good day everyone,
I have a package that reads data from a CSV file, transforms it and finally loads it in a destination DB table.
My current problem lies in the parsing of the input flat file. I shall illustrate it using a small example.
Source File:
P;Product-1;Short Description for product 1
P;Product-2;Short Description for product 2
Problem:
I configured the flat file connection manager to use semicolon as the column separator. But then I have received some sample flat files where I found that the semicolon might be sometimes used as content of a column data.
Possible Solutions:
I have thought about 3 different solution and I would like to get your feedback and recommendations about them.
Alternative 1:
Use a complex column delimiter, which wouldn't be used in the data.
Example:
P#~#Product-1#~#Short Description for product 1
P#~#Product-2#~#Short Description for product 2
Question 1:
- Is it possible to define such a customized column delimiter for the Flat File Connection Manager?
- If yes, how can I do this?
Alternative 2:
Use double quotes around the data, which the Flat File Source Adapter must somehow recognize and trim before pushing the data down the Data Flow.
Example:
"P";"Product-1";"Short Description for product 1"
"P";"Product-2";"Short Description for product 2"
Question 2:
- Is it possible to configure the Flat File Source Adapter to work as described?
- If yes, how can I do this?
Alternative 3:
Use a Script Component and write the needed code for parsing the Flat File.
Question 3:
- Do you have further suggestions/ideas for solving this parsing problem?
Thanks in advance and my regards,
Samar

Hi -- I am fairly new to SSIS development, although I am starting to appreciate it more an more, especially since I have started getting into extending the object model. Here's my question:
I have a data flow that pulls data from any number of different delimited files with different numbers of columns. I have had no problem dealing with setting up run-time file locations and file names by using the expressions of a flat file data source, and i have been able to pretty easily deal with varying file delimiters by standardizing the files before they get into the data flow. however, I have not been able to come up with a solution that will allow my data source to discover its column info at run time, and then pass that information on to the data flow task. all i really care about is being able to properly parse the individual rows into individual column data by the flat file data source because the data flow itself is able to discover the actual data that the columns hold at run-time.
i would very much appreciate any feedback from anyone on possible solutions for this.
thanks!

Good morning,
I have written a package which accepts variables for the server, initial catalog & table name.
I execute sql to drop the following stored procedure, then following sql statement to create it.
================================================================
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE procedure [dbo].[SP_CreateMatchProc]
@sTable varchar(300)
as
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
declare @cmd nvarchar(2000)
set @cmd = ''''
Set @cmd = 'SELECT REPLACE(field1 + field2 + field3 + field4 + field5, '' '', '''') AS dBString '
+ 'FROM ' + @sTable + ' ORDER BY <table>_ID COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS'
exec (@cmd)
END
GO
================================================================
Then in the Oledb source (validateexternalmetadata = false) I use "sqlcommand from variable" with a variable value of "SP_CreateMatchProc '<tableName>'"
The package runs fine in the IDE regardless of variable values, but when I created a batch file which calls dtexec I get a failure:

the most notable thing I see there is that it looks like a different ID (310) with out the validation and (10621) with it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I am having an issue when attempting to retrieve data from SPSS via a ADO.NETDBC Connection
using the DataReader source. What seems to be occurring is that the DataReader is reading a column that
has a length of 255 and what it is doing is taking the first 200 characters and starts repeating the
characters starting at character 201, in this way erasing any data held in positions 201 to 255.
Another way of saying this:
This statement returns data in the results but I have noticed the data is incorrect. It seems to only
be selecting the initial 200 characters of the 255 in the field. Then it starts to repeat the
first 200 characters again to complete the full selection of the 255 characters
Here is an example:
Instead of:
€œXXXXX changed my life before it got worse. It was very informative. They gave me the information. They left it up to me to ponder over it and make the decision on what I wanted to do. It informed me on what drugs do to your body and mind. I was stress€?
I end up getting:
€œXXXXX changed my life before it got worse. It was very informative. They gave me the information. They left it up to me to ponder over it and make the decision on what I wanted to do. It informed XXXXX changed my life before it got worse. It was very€?
Source Column Datatype that SSIS can see is of Unicode string [DT_WSTR] type. Also it correctly identifies
the length is 255 in both the External Column, and Output Column section.

Hi,
I have a problem to import xls file to sql table, using MS SQL 2000 server.
Actual main problem associated with it is xls file contain one colum having large amount of text which length is approximate 1500 characters.
I am trying to resolve it through like save xls to csv or text file then import but it also can not copy whole text of that column, like any column in xls having 995 characters then text or csv file contain 560 characater. So, it is also wrong.
thanks in advance, if any try to resolve

In my quest to get the Script Component as Source to work, I've come upon an error that says "The value is too large to fit in the column data area of the buffer.". Of course, I went through the futile attempt to get debugging to work. After struggling and more searching, I found that I need to run Dts.Events.FireProgress to debug in a Script Component. However, despite the fact that the script says:
Code Block
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
...
Dts.Events.FireProgress..
I get a new error saying: Error 30451: Name 'Dts' is not declared. Its like I am using the wrong namespace, but all documentation indicates that Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper is the correct namespace. I understand that I can use System.Windows.Form.MessageBox.Show, but iterating through 100 items makes this too cumbersome. Any idea what I may be missing now?
Thanks,
John T
