Given a many to one relationship between an incoming flat file and a SQL table, is there a way to have explode the number of rows in the data stream?
Basically, I have a flat file and for every row in it there are one or more related rows in a SQL table that need to be looked up to provide a descriptive column and then passed down stream to the next transform. When I tried the lookup transform, SSIS only passed the descriptive column from the first matched row.
Now I want to create View that will have an exploded resultset based on SrvType.
For SrvType 1 and 2 there will be 2 lines per Itemid - One for 'Amount' anod another for 'Tax1+Tax2'. But for SrvType 3 there will be 3 lines per 'ItemId' - one for 'Amount', one for Tax1 and another for 'Tax2'.
I have a few hundred source records like this. Now sure how to achieve the exploded resultset with a View.
Hi i have a look up from one table to another now i know that some data is set to null in one table and this is the row am doing the lookup on. I'd like the package to run as normal and still catch these failing rows. Is this possible to do ?.
I was trying to set the Configure Error output but i can't get my failing rows to be set to the text file.. the package runs ok But am getting the same problem again in another lookup as am using the same data to do a lookup again and its causing me the same problem.
I have a very basic Lookup in my SSIS package that looks up against two columns and outputs a row to a table. Now currently if there is no exact match, it writes a null in my destination table. How do I simply drop all those rows that dont produce an exact match? I tried using the 'Ignore' error output, but with that it writes NULLS into my destination table. With the 'Redirect' it is looking for a place to redirect the error (NULL) rows, and I dont want to deal with the hassle or writing these NULL values to a file or table just to delete them afterwards. I just simply want to forget about all those rows that dont produce an exact hit and only fill in the destination table with those that do produce a hit. How can I drop these lookup rows that dont produce an exact match?
Our division has approximately 300 employees. We have an annual shift bid where seniority is calculated using Date of Hire. If 2 or more employees share the same Date of Hire then we fall back to Date of Application. Currently the SSRS report does a very simple query and shows all the employees in order of their Date of Hire. If they match then it sorts the matching Date of Hire entries alphabetically by the employee name. It then becomes the task of the scheduler to locatethe entries with the same Date of Hire and manually look up the employees' dates of applications then sort them accordingly and re-write the report.
Goal: Convert the manual process into an automatic process by modifying the current SSRS report. Data: The dataset is "DivDir" which contains the following fields: "EmpName", "DofHire", & "AppDate".
EmpName DofHire AppDate Adam ...... 12/2/1996 11/15/1996 Bob ..... .... 1/16/1997 12/27/1996 Charlie ....... 1/16/1997 12/12/1996 Dan ...... ... 4/11/2001 3/22/2001
In the above example I want the SSRS report to list the employees in this order: Adam, Charlie, Bob, Dan.How do I do this programmatically using SSRS?
Maybe someone here can help me out: I have a Kimball type II dimension, where i track changes in a hierarchy. Each row has a RowStartDate and RowEndDate property to indicate from when to when a certain row should be used.
Now i want to load facts to that table. So each fact will have a certain date associated with it that i can use to lookup the right Id (a certain SourceId can have mulitiple integer Ids when there are historic changes) and then load the facts.
Is there a building block I can use for that? I could do this with SQL scripts but the client would prefer to have as much as possible done in SSIS. The Lookup transformation will only let me specify an equal (inner join where A=B) join, but i need equal for one column (SourceId) and then >= and <= (RowStart and RowEnd) to find the right row version.
We did some "at scale" fuzzy lookup tests today and were rather disappointed with the performance. I'm wanting to know your experience so I can set my performance expectations appropriately.
We were doing a fuzzy lookup against a lookup table with 25 million rows. Each row has 11 columns used in the fuzzy lookup, each between 10-100 chars. We set CopyReferenceTable=0 and MatchIndexOptions=GenerateAndPersistNewIndex and WarmCaches=true. It took about 60 minutes to build that index table, during which, dtexec got up to 4.5GB memory usage. (Is there a way to tell what % of the index table got cached in memory? Memory kept rising as each "Finished building X% of fuzzy index" progress event scrolled by all the way up to 100% progress when it peaked at 4.5GB.) The MaxMemoryUsage setting we left blank so it would use as much as possible on this 64-bit box with 16GB of memory (but only about 4GB was available for SSIS).
After it got done building the index table, it started flowing data through the pipeline. We saw the first buffer of ~9,000 rows get passed from the source to the fuzzy lookup transform. Six hours later it had not finished doing the fuzzy lookup on that first buffer!!! Running profiler showed us it was firing off lots of singelton SQL queries doing lookups as expected. So it was making progress, just very, very slowly.
We had set MinSimilarity=0.45 and Exhaustive=False. Those seemed to be reasonable settings for smaller datasets.
Does that performance seem inline with expectations? Any thoughts to improve performance?
I'm working with an existing package that uses the fuzzy lookup transform. The package is currently working; however, I need to add some columns to the lookup columns from the reference table that is being used.
It seems that I am hitting a memory threshold of some sort, as when I add 3 or 4 columns, the package works, but when I add 5 columns, the fuzzy lookup transform fails pre-execute:
Pre-Execute Taking a snapshot of the reference table Taking a snapshot of the reference table Building Fuzzy Match Index component "Fuzzy Lookup Existing Member" (8351) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0x8007007A.
These errors occur regardless of what columns I am attempting to add to the lookup list.
I have tried setting the MaxMemoryUsage custom property of the transform to 0, and to explicit values that should be much more than enough to hold the fuzzy match index (the reference table is only about 3000 rows, and the entire table is stored in less than 2MB of disk space.
Say I want to lookup a value in another dataset, but there is a grouping that requires you to know what the values for each level is in order to get to the correct detail record. Can you still use the lookup function with more than one field to compare against? So for example
Department \___SalesPerson \___Measure
I want to be able to add a new row at the Measure level, but lookup each field from another dataset. In order to do that I will need the Department AND SalesPerson values to do the lookup, but I dont think the Lookup function will let us do that will.
Actually this is in regard to SCD Type 2 Dimension, Scenario is like that I am moving Fact table from some old source and I have dimensionA description value in fact which I want to replace with appropriate id from Dimension Table and that Dimension table is SCD Type 2 based on StartDate and EndDate and Fact Table doesn't contains direct date value rather there is timeId in Fact so to update the value in Fact table I have to Join Time Dimension table and other Dimension Table to replace fact Description with proper Id.
I am doing a lookup that requires mapping 2 columns in the column mapping section. When I do this, I get the error "Row yielded no match during lookup" . The SQL that I captured in SQL profiler does find the record when I run it in Management Studio. I have already tried trimming everything to no avail.
Why is this happening?
I tried enabling memory restrictions but then I my package hangs and I get a SQLDUMPER_ERRORLOG.log file with the following logged:
I have a Conditional Split with 3 outputs. On the first output I have a lookup, when I execute the package I have 56 rows going through the Conditional Split, all rows are then going to the 2nd and 3rd output but the lookup on the first output generates an error "Row yielded no match during lookup".
I don't understand why the lookup is generating an error while there is no row going through it.
I am designing a ssis package,This is intends to mine text data(Data extracted from websites). Term lookup/Term extraction has been used as tools for mining. I have lookup terms defined with me for reference table,but the main problem lie in extracting the nearby text/number/charcters to these lookup terms during mining. For example : I found noun "Email" 200 (frequency score) times in my text,Now I want to extract nearby email address(this is also true for PhoneNumber,Address attributes also).so how can I achieve this with SSIS. If u have some idea/suggestion to carry out this challenge with or without Term Extraction/Term Lookup,plz do write here.
JobRequirements (A) JobID int QualificationTypeID int
EmployeeQualifications (B) EmployeeID int QualificationTypeID int
Employee (C) EmployeeID int EmployeeName int
I need to return a list of all employees fit for a specific job ... The criteria is that only employees who have all the JobRequirements are returned. So if a job had 3 requirements and the employee had just 2 of those qualifications, they would not be returned. Likewise, the employee might have more qualifications than the job requires, but unless the employee has all the specific qualifications the job requires they are not included. If an employee has all the job qualifications plus they have extra qualifications then they should be returned...
How to only return those records where all the child records are present in the other table..
I am using sql server 2005. I stuck out in a strange problem. I am using view in my stored procedure, when I run the stored procedure some of the rows get skipped out means if select query have to return 10 rows then it is returning 5 rows or any other but not all, also the records displyaing is randomly coming, some time it is displaying reords 12345 next time 5678, other time 2468.
But if I run seperately the querys written in SP then it returns all the rows. Please give me solution why it is happening like this.
There are indexes in the tables.
Once I shrink the database and rebuild the indexes, from then this problem is happening. I have rebuild the indexes several time, also updated the statistics but nothing improving.
When expoting data from excel to sql server table, using SSIS package, after exporting is done, how would i check source rows are equal to destination rows. If not to throw an error message.
How can we handle transactions in SSIS 1. when some error/something happens during export and the # of rows are not exported fully to destination, how to rollback the transaction in SSIS.
I have a conditional split in an SSIS package - one split is where if rows are returned according to a specific rule, then insert those rows into to a Recordset Destinationm which points to a variable of Object type.
How I can use this variable to email fellow users. For example, what I would like is if ANY rows are returned to the Object variable (1 or more), then I would like to execute an email SP that we have on our server.

Hello, I have a survey (30 questions) application in a SQL server db. The application uses several relational tables. The results are arranged so that each answer is on a seperate row: user1 answer1user1 answer2user1 answer3user2 answer1user2 answer2user2 answer3 For statistical analysis I need to transfer the results to an Excel spreadsheet (for later use in SPSS). In the spreadsheet I need the results to appear so that each user will be on a single row with all of that user's answers on that single row (A column for each answer): user1 answer1 answer2 answer3user2 answer1 answer2 answer3 How can this be done? How can all answers of a user appear on a single row Thanx,Danny.
Hi i tried designing a SSIS package which loads only those rows which were different from existing rows in the table , i need to timestamp the existing row with an inactive date when a update of that row is inserted (ex: same studentID ) and the newly inserted row with a insert time stamp so as to indicate the new row as currently active, in short i need to maintain history and current rows in same table , i tried using slowly changing dimension but could not figure out, anyone experience or knowledge regarding the Data loads please respond.
example of Data would be like
exisiting data
StudentID Name AGE Sex ADDRESS INSERTTIME UPDATETIME 12 DDS 14 M XYZ ST 2/4/06 NULL 14 hgS 17 M ABC ST 3/4/07 NULL
New row to insert would be
12 DDS 15 M DFG ST 4/5/07
the data should reflect
StudentID Name AGE Sex ADDRESS INSERTTIME UPDATETIME 12 DDS 14 M XYZ ST 2/4/06 4/5/07
12 DDS 15 M DFG ST 4/5/07 NULL
14 hgS 17 M ABC ST 3/4/07 NULL
Please provide your input as much as you can even though it might not be a 100% solution.
I had created a trigger which sees that whether a database is updated if it is its copy the values of the updated row into another control table now I want to read the content of control_table into BIzTalk and after reading I want to delete it.Can any one suggest the suitable ay to do this?
I have the following variables VehicleID, TransactDate, TransactTime, OdometerReading, TransactCity, TransactState.
VehicleID is the unique vehicle ID, OdometerReading is the Odometer Reading, and the others are information related to the transaction time and location of the fuel card (similar to a credit card).
The records will be first grouped and sorted by VehicleID, TransactDate, TransactTime and OdometerReading. Then all records where the Vehicle ID and TransactDate is same for consecutive rows, AND TransactCity or TransactState are different for consecutive rows should be printed.
I also would like to add two derived variables.
1. Miles will be a derived variable that is the difference between consecutive odometer readings for the same Vehicle ID.
2. TimeDiff will be the second derived variable that will categorize the time difference for a particular vehicle on the same day.
My report should look like:
VehID TrDt TrTime TimeDiff Odometer Miles TrCity TrState 1296 1/30/2008 08:22:42 0:00:00 18301 000 Omaha NE 1296 1/30/2008 15:22:46 7:00:04 18560 259 KEARNEY NE

Problem & Info:
I am bringing in an Excel file. I need to first strip out any non-detail rows such as the breaks you see with totals and what not. I should in the end have only detail rows left before I start moving them into my SQL Table. I'm not sure how to first strip this information out in SSIS specfically how down to the right component and how to actually code the component to do this based on my Excel file here: http://www.webfound.net/excelfile.xls
Then, I assume I just use a Flat File Source coponent or something to actually take the columns in the Excel and split into an OLE DB Datasource to shove each column into a corresponding column in my SQL Server Table. I have used a Flat File Source in the past to do so with a comma delimited txt file but never tried with an Excel.
Desired Help:
How to perform
1) stripping out all undesired rows 2) importing each column into sql table
I am facing an issue that Data flow task failing after loading 29000 rows out of 2lakhs rows.

But what I would love to do next is take each of the above rows - and return the initials either in one column with all the nulls and duplicate values removed, separated by a comma ..
OR the above but using variable number of columns based on the maximum number of different initials for each row.this is not strictly required, but maybe neater for further work on the view

I want to lookup values from a database into another database both of which are in the same sql server 2000. One databases is called GamingCommissiondb the other is called LicensingActions I need some of the tables to communicate with each other, to look values from one another. Example I need the Termination table to look up values from the Revocations table. Would using LinkedServers suffice??

Hi, I am transferring the xml data from an xml file into sql server table using ssis. To avoid any duplicate import via this ssis package, I would like to first check if data exists in the sql server table for what is about to be imported. If so then delete the existing data and then import.
Question: How do I get the field value say ID field from the file and then take this id and delete these from the table in sql server first.
Is this to do with lookup or is there an easier way to do this please? thanks
I am trying to use lookup to see if a item esists in my table ( 3 key fields ). If the lookup fails I want to insert the records. If it succeeds I have put a recordcount to catch the items that are not required. I don't think that I understand the settings for failed rows. I have tried setting the Configure Error Output to redirect, but this does not seem to work. I have the below errors.
[SQL Server Destination [151]] Error: Unable to prepare the SSIS bulk insert for data insertion.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "SQL Server Destination" (151) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202071.
Can someone please advise me how to set up this component to work for my application
I am using SCD and Lookup for Incremantal ETL load. But it is very interesting that my 3000 recs is becoming 2500 when I put SCD and lookup. if I replace dummy multicast then it is 3000.
Before inserting records of a recordset I would like to check that each one of these records doesn't exist in the destination table 1. If the records exist, they should be redirect to other table 2. For this purpose I use a lookup task. The referende table is the destination table 1. The green line is linked to table 2 and the red line is linked to table 1. The first execution works properly and copies de records to table 1, but on the next executions the records are copied to table 1 instead of being copied to table 2.
