Execute A Query Inside Dataflow And Use The Fields Returned To Continue Dataflow... How?
Apr 17, 2007
Dear Friends,
I need to execute a SQL query, inside a dataflow (not in controlFlow) and need the records returned to continue the dataflow... In my case I cant use lookup and OLE DB COmmand and nothing else...
I need to execute a query and need the records for dataflow... with OLE DB command I cant see the fields returned... :-(
How can I do it? Using a script? Can I use a Script Component? That receive 2 parameters for input and give me the fields returned from query as output?
Thanks!!

Dear friends,
Someone told me that I couldnt update the global variavel inside a dataflow... but i need to have some solution to do that... :-(
I crate my identity column manually based on a global variable... and it works perfect, but in one dataflow I have to insert 2 times in the some table... so... in the second time my identity will be GlobalVariavel + increment of the first time rows inserted...
how can I save this increment in the dataflow? How can I count the rows inserted in the first time do use it in the second time i save Data to the some table??
Thanks

Is it possible to update the value of a user defined variable within the DataFLow in SSIS. I am aware you can update a variable using a script task in the Control Flow, but how about the DataFlow?
Thanks for any help in advance.

Is it possible to iterate over all of the fields of the Row collection inside of the Script Component of a data flow. Basically, want I want to is to check every incoming column (all are strings) for a particular character sequence, and if found, change it to something else. I am current accessing each field as Row.Field1, Row.Field2, etc. and just thought there must be a better way to do something like:
For each col in Row
if row.col = XXX then do something.
End For
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
I have a 'Execute SQL Task' in my 'control flow', my 'Execute SQL Task' will return a value which I am assigning to a variable. Based on the value of the variable, I need to control my other flows. If the variable's value is 1 then I should invoke a dataflow, else I should write a failure error message in event viewer. Please could someone provide some inputs on how this can be done.
'Execute SQL Task' ----->value 1 ------>data flow to be executed
'Execute SQL Task' ----->value !=1 ------> write some error message in the event viewer and no tasks should be executed after that.
Thanks

Hi,
We have a dataflow task that imports data from excel to a sql2005 database table. One of the columns is never filled in in the excel source. For updates we can use the lookup transformation to fill in that column, but for new values we need to calculate a new value for it (it's a PK) with MAX(column) +1 and replace the null value in the dataflow with this new value.
Just to be clear:
column id (int)
column name (string)
Based on the 'name' column, we can look up existing ids, and update these in the table. Ids that don't exist yet need to be filled in with the maximum value of the column + 1 (we can't use identity columns) and inserted in the table
Which transformation do I use to replace the value of the id column with this new id?
thanks,
Stephane

An Execute SQL task takes 1 min to run a statement "insert into Mytable select * from view_using_joins"
Output: 10,225 rows affected.
But a Dataflow task configured to fetch data from the same view_using_joins into MyTable takes hours to do the same.
Could you please explain why is it so ?
Thanks

Hi, have configured an ODBC linked server for an Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA6.0) database.
I have to write a function (not a procedure) that receives a number (@Code) and returns 1 if it was found on a table in the linked server, or 0 if not. Looks very simple...
One problem, is that the queries on a linked-server must be made through the OPENQUERY statement, which doesen't support dynamic parameters. I've solved this making the whole query a string, and executing it, something like this:
SET @SQL='SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CAT_ASA, ''SELECT code FROM countries WHERE code=' + @Code + ''')'
EXEC sp_executesql @SQL
(CAT_ASA is the linked-server's name)
Then, i would use @@ROWCOUNT to determine if the code exists or not. But before this, a problem appears: sp_executesql is not allowed within a function (only extended procedures are allowed).
Does somebody know how to make what i want?? I prefer to avoid using temporary tables.
Thanks!

Dear Friends,
I have an OLE DB Command inside an ETL. I want to execute a stored procedure that returns 2 fields, for example:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_Name
AS
SELECT Field1, Field2 FROM Table
How can I continue the dataflow? How can I return the values from the query? Returns only a row...

Hi Pals,
Here is my scenario in my ETL process, I have one DataFlow task.
Assuming that i have 10 clean records in my source database and i need to load all the 10 recs into my target table.
IS there any means of cross checking the no of rows from source table and number of rows loaded into my target table.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi all,
In my DataFlow i set the "OLEDB Source" which is a table in my Extract Server and need to do some transformations and stage the table which will be a Dimension in the staging DB,
Q1-Now i need only 3 columns from the Source table, which transformation do i need to use to just extract the the 3 columns?
Q2- Two Columns of 3,which i will need to transform as it is-no changes at all and One of the column which has values like "BOSTON...."
(I have a vague idea of what i need to do,need something solid suggestions/advices to kickoff,plan is to use this city column with a Replace function (as one of the forum member's Spirit1 adviced..thanks..!!))to take out the dots and then need to write a condition if BOSTON then Assign Code "BOS" which will be City_Code and this "City_Code" will have to be looked in City_Dimension to get the "City_Key_Number" for "Boston" and lastly the City_Code and City Key Number both have to be transformed to the destination Dimension.
Any ideas /suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...!!

Greetings!
I am attempting to implement the following case statement BEFORE getting the data in to my destination table but I don't know how to create an expression for it.
In the mapping section of my OLE DB destination component I can only do mapping but I can't actually manipulate the data before it gets to the destination table.
What do I have to do to implement :
case
when SOPD.PRICE_TOP_NUMBER is NULL then -8
else SOPD.PRICE_TOP_NUMBER
end AS price_top_number,
before it goes to the destination column?!
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello every one,
I have a simple dataflow from source to target.
My source is raw file and target is oracle table.
The problem I€™m facing in SSIS is its talking more than 10 minutes to load almost 30-40k records, I do not have any transformation activity this is just a simple dump from source to target.
Please do inform me of any setting to be talk care for fasten the process.
Thank you

I know the idea was to seperate workflow and dataflow, but I have come across a scenario where it would be useful for a branch of a dataflow to wait until another branch has finished.
I have some transactional data which records events for the start and end of a session. I want to build a list of unique sessions with the start and end date. I currently have the list of events sorted by time, followed by a conditional split for the start and end events. I can then insert all of the start events and would like to wait until all of the starts are inserted before updating them with their relevant end times.
Is this achievable?
Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to be able to set precendence across multiple branches of a data flow?
Does anyone have a better solution?
I know this is the wrong forum, but is there a way to model this against the transactional data in SSAS, I will move this question to the SSAS forum if anyone can think this would work!

This error seem to be very silly.did anyone come across this error.
I have been transferring data from textfile to a table using oledb destination.
The number of records in the text file are 2,091,650
Its was running just fine couple of days ago when the incoming data was little small then this...(arround 300,000).Now it seem to have a problem.
Here is the flow
1.File System task ->I copy the file to different location
2.Execute sql task->truncate tables
3.DataFlow task->I check for only the error files in this data flow.and all valid rows i transfer to a different text file.
4.Dataflow->filesource i connect to new text file created earlier.Here i convert fields to repective datatype and i insert if new or update record.
I dont know whats going on...
When i run my package it runs through the first three perfectly fine.When it comes to fourth step it sits there.....it dosent go to the tasks within this dataflow at all...and begining i have flat files source...
What could be the reason...
when i look at progress tab...i was able to look at the progress of other tasks but when it comes to this task it shows start>>>>>time and it sits there...

I am transfering data from a textfile to sql server.I use a data flow task for trasfering my text files.
Here is what i do.
1.Add text file source
What i want to achieve here is if the text file countains the column name in the first row i should delete them and if it does not contain column name in the first row just transfer it.
how can this be achieved???
2.add one more column to my text file which should contain the status(insert or update).
how can this be done??
3.before transfering data ot destination i want to know if the record exists if exists i just want to update it instead of insert.and if new record i want to insert it .and the status in the above new column need to change.
please help...

Hi all,
I have encountered a SQL 2005 deadlock issue while executing dataflow in a SSIS package. The deadlock happens when I have indexed two columns. If I don't have index, deadlock does not happen.
Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Transaction (Process ID 67) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.".
The above causes the rest of the dataflow execution to be terminated.
What my dataflow does is to extract data from 14 flat files and then insert the records into a single table (no primary key, but with two columns indexed).
Can anyone please advise how I can avoid deadlock with indexes in a table?
Thank you and much appreciated!

Greetings!
I am painfully learning SSIS and just when I think I have a better understanding of how things work and go down the path that I should take, I hit a wall. Frankly, discouraging and demoralizing.
I am performing a Select of rows that are then passed on to a ForEachLoop with an ADO Enumerator with a FullResultSet.
Variable mappings for the columns used are:
Variable IndexAccountNumber 0
AccountName 1
AccountAddress 2
CountryCode 3
A ScriptTask in the foreach loop allows me to confirm that I am processing rows.
A DataFlow in the ForEachLoop has in it a DERIVED COLUMN item that allows me to assign the four variable fields above to their respective DERIVED COLUMN.
An attempt to use a Flat File Destination to process the derived columns is being made. As I monitor the execution of the package I notice the following message.
Information: 0x4004300B at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: "component "Flat File Destination" (382)" wrote 0 rows.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me why is it that I am able to see the data being processed through the script task? And yet not see any rows being written to the Flat file. Why?
Any information you may provide would be immensely appreciated.
Thank you and God Bless.

HI, I have a lookup that find a specific row. If that row does not exist, I need to create a new one. If it exists, I need to raise an error and trap it with the "on_error" event of the dataflow in order to log it. Is there a way to raise an error and specify the error message from the dataflow? I was thinking using the conditional split and verify if the value returned from the lookup (by set the error config to ignore the error) is not or not. But how can I raise an error when the value is not null?
Thank you,

Hi:
I am getting the following error when I start debugging my Package, I am not sure what this is related to, but basically, input (datatype is a int, and its mapped to a column which is also int), so I am not sure whats happening here. The input column is actually a derived column, and its set as a 4 byte un-signed int, please advice on where should I start looking to troubleshoot this issue. This loanapplicationid is actually a user variable that is utilized by other tasks in my control flow as well:
Error: 0xC020901C at InsertApplicationCL5, OLE DB Destination [16]: There was an error with input column "LoanApplicationID" (1161) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "The value violated the integrity constraints for the column.".

How can i get a value that was calculated before? Can i store it in a variable?
Many Thanks!

Hello
Trying to figure out a clever solution for splitting multivalued columns out into n-columns.
For that I've build a custom component in SSIS using
ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.VSIPCC.v80/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/dtsref9/html/4dc0f631-8fd6-4007-b573-ca67f58ca068.htm as an example.
I need to be able to add columns to the OutputCollection in designtime, but the designer returns an error:
Error at Data Flow Task [Uppercase [5910]]: The component "Uppercase" (5910)
does not allow setting output column datatype properties.
How do I enable the designer to accept designtime changes in the
columncollection?
Kind regards

Is it possible to set up at dataflow with for example an excel source that points to a sheet with varying number of colums.
In the file there is some information about number of columns. But the question is here how you use that information to define the columns in the dataflow ?

Hello all,
I got a text file with two columns. and I need to generate a integer key automatically with the row number (or any distinct number, I thought row number will be OK). and when I make the data flow task to import this text file into a raw file I need to get the unique rownumber as Id.
How can I make this in the data flow tak??

I was transfering more that 100,000 records from flat file to sql table
It took about 1 hour.Is this the way it is?????i used oledb command.
As the data passes by i got to insert to several table.Like i insert some of incoming data to one table then get the key from that table and insert rest of the data with the key field from previous table to another table.
In this case i felt OLedb would be best as we can use query.
I cannot use oledb destination as it has only error output(to insert some of incoming data and i want to have a look up to get the key but oledb des has only error output)
i cannot use sql destination as the database is sql server 2000.It dosent let me.
How can i increase the performance????Please let me know

I created a dataflow that transferred about 1 million records from a SQL database on one server to a differend SQL database on the same server. The processing took about 30 minutes. I used the Fast Load option.
I then created a "Execute SQL Task" and wrote a "SELECT * INTO TABLE" and this processing took about 30 - 60 seconds.
Can someone tell me why creating a Data Flow Tak would take so much longer or give differences between the two options above? Can someone give some pointers on how to make a Data Flow task more efficient?
Thanks.

I was wondering what has worked for all of you in regards to using a sproc as a source within a dataflow. I have had limited success doing this, but maybe there is a workaround I'm unaware of. Basically, using a SQL command in an OLE DB Source, I run an EXEC statement that returns a resultset from a stored procedure. I've noticed that depending on how the sproc is structured, I will either get metadata info in the columns tab of the OLE DB Source or not. Without this metadata of course I can not link it with a destination, since the destination believes that no data is being returned, even if this is not the case. This all seems to depend on the "final" select statement in the sproc being at the very top of the sproc. If it is not at the top, the columns tab will not be populated. Has anyone else had similar issues? Is there a workaround other than populating a temp table outside of the dataflow?

I am trying to recode a SQL2K DDQ into an SSIS Dataflow. I have no issue recoding it in SSIS except I am not sure that I am doing it correct way.
My DDQ has source,destination, update/delete/insert statements and few lookups. I have used activex script for the transformation because I have atleasst 10 If conditions. For every "if condition" the destination columns are popuated with different lookups/source columns and constant values.
Now When I start doing it with SSIS I have to use at least 10 Conditional split. and then at least one lookup,one OLEDBCommand and one OLEDB Destination for each of them . that brings my count of DF objects to 30-40
It makes my data flow to complex with two many objects. Earleir I could do whole of this in one sngle DDQ. It makes me think if I am doing it the correct way. should I be using Activex Script Task to these kind of activity.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,

The same import using DTS I am getting in 2 mins. DTS package is more faster than SSIS package ?. any reasons why SSIS is taking more time?

Need help regarding ssis dataflow task
I need to create a ssis package. I want to import the data from a flat file to a table.
Lets say, the table has 5 columns -- col1, col2, col3, col4 , col5.(Assume that all columns can be NULLABLE) The datafile contains the data related to only three columns say col1, col2, col3. So when I use dataflow task to import the data from the file to the table, I will only get three columns, col1, col2, col3. Columns col4, col5 will be NULL.
However, I want to populate columns col4, col5 with some values which are stored in the variable.
IS there any way to do this??
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
