Hi,
I have a dataflow task which has 3 oledb source objects connected to each data conversion object and these are connected to a union all and finally to a flat file destination.
The purpose of this one is to extract data and pump them to the flat file.
If i run this in production during the time users are doing transactional processes (typical, add, edit delete), will it have an impact?

I have a flat file that has over 50,000 records. When I import that file into my table I'm only able to extract 26,612 rows.
I'm using a Flat File connection manager
The format for this connection is Ragged Right
There are about 25 columns, or so
My Data Flow Source is a Flat File (Imagine that!)
I appreciate any ideas that you may have.
Thanks!!
Hi,
I am interested in writing a stored procedure that will compute and select data from SQL Server 2000 database and store it into a .XLS or flat file.
how can i do that ?

I want to extract data from a table (based on a query) to a flat file.
So I have an OLE DB Source (data access mode SQL command) and then a flat file destination. The extract works finem except it extracts all table rows as one line in the file - whereas i want a separate line per DB record - what am I missing?
Thanks for any help!
Hi Friend,
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.
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
'
'
Dim Error_Data As String
Dim Column_1 As String
Dim Len As Integer
Dim Buffer As Byte()
Buffer = Row.FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn.GetBlobData(0, CInt(Row.FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn.Length))
Error_Data = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(Buffer)
Len = Error_Data.IndexOf("|")
Column_1 = Left(Error_Data, Len - 1)
Row.Pname = Column_1
End Sub

Hi!
How do I load a comma-delimited text file into MSDE? How does it work for SQL Server 7?
Thanks,

I am having difficulties loading data from a flat file to a SQL Database. I am able to load some data but the rest gets kicked out for the following reasons:
1 – The field is varchar 50 and I would like to convert it to a date field
2 – The field contain periods (.) (Only 1 period in each row)
3 – The field contain blanks (NULLS)
How do I create a derived column that will bypass blanks (Nulls) and remove periods (.) in each row then convert column to a date field in SSIS? Looking for steps to create a derived date column using SSIS (derived task); convert it to a date column (09-19-2015); use functions to redirect the nulls and possibly remove the period (.)?

i have this flat text file that has a number of packed decimal
field type. How do I load that text file into a sql table.
thanks
I can't use DTS nor DTSwizard as I need to put it in a .sql and run it through a command line via .bat file (it's more for the users).
Each row ends with an EOL character, the fields are all fixed width, but I have a little problem here, some rows are empty but just with a EOL character.
How shall I go about it?
many thanks! :D
I have three tables in data base:
customer
product
sales
And i want to use SSIS package dynamically load data from database into three separate flat file, each table into each file.
I know i got to use for each loop task ADO.Net schema row set enumerator, with OLEDB connection manager, select table name or view name variable from access mode list, but the problem comes, as table name is dynamic then flat file connection is also dynamic, i am using visual studio 2013...
I'm working on SSIS to load the data from flat file to sql server, I'm getting date in below format, but in sql server I have given data type datetime. how to convert below format to 16-01-15 12.05.19.1234 AM.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,
I
have a flat file which is loaded into the database on a daily basis.
The file contains rows of strings which I load into a table,
specifically to a column of length 8000.
The string has a length of 690, but the format is like 'xxxxxx xx xx..'
and so on, where 'xxxx' represents data. So there are spaces, etc present in the middle.
Previously
I used SQL 2000 DTS to load the files in, and it was just a Column
Transformation with the Col001 from the text file loading straight to
my table column. After the load, if I select len(col) it gives me 750
for all rows.
Once I started to migrate this to SSIS, I
allocated the Control Flow Task and specified the flat file source and
the oledb destination, and gave the output column a type of String and
output column width of 8000. But when I run the data flow task it
copies only 181 or 231 characters out of the 750 required.
I feel it stops where it finds the SPACES and skips the rest.
I
specified row delimiters or CR, and LF. I checked the file under
UltraEdit and there were no special characters in the file that would
cause the problem.
Any suggestions how I can get it to load the full data?
Thanks

I am having one store procedure which use to load data from flat file to staging table dynamically.
Everything is working fine.staging_temp table have single column. All the data stored in that single column. below is the sample row.
AB¯ALBERTA ¯93¯AI
AI¯ALBERTA INDIRECT ¯94¯AI
AL¯ALABAMA ¯30¯
After the staging_temp data gets inserted into main table.my probelm is to handle such a file where number of columns are more than the actual table.
If you see the sample rows there are 4 column separated by "¯".but actual I am having only 3 columns in my main table.so how can I get only first 3 column from the satging_temp table.
Output should be like below.
AB¯ALBERTA ¯93
AI¯ALBERTA INDIRECT ¯94
AL¯ALABAMA ¯30
How to achieve above scenario...

I am testing SSIS and have created a Flat File Destination. I defined the Flat File Connection as New for the first time and it worked fine. Now, I would like to go back and modify the Flat File Connection in the Flat File Destination Editor, but it allows only to create a New connection rather allowing me to edit the existing one. For testing, I can go back and create a new connection, but if my connection had 50-100 columns then it would be an issue to re-create it from scratch.
Did someone else faced this issue?
Thanks,

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?
I am transferring data from an OLEDB source to a Flat File Destination and I want the column width for all of the output columns to 30 (max width amongst the columns selected), but that is not refected in the Fixed Width Flat File that got created. The outputcolumnwidth seems to be the same as the inputcolumnwidth. Is there any other setting that I am possibly missing or is this a possible defect?
Any inputs will be appreciated.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I m using SSIS and i am transfering the data from Flat File Source to the OLE DB destination File. The source file contain some corrupt data which i am transfering to the other Flat file destination file.
Debugging is succesful but i am not getting any error output in the Flat file destination file.
i had done exactly which is written in the msdn tutorial of SSIS.
Plz tell me why i am not getting the error output in the destination flat file?
thanx
I'm new to SSIS and have run into a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with.
Basically, I have a flat file that looks something like:
ID,Type,Description,Results
1,Test1,This is a test,5
2,Test1,This is also a 1 test,7
3,Test1,This is also a 1 test,13
4,Test2,This is a second test,14
5,Test2,This is also a second test,18
I'm trying to normalize the data by extracting out individual rows that have the same "Type" column value. So what I want is to extract each unique type and description into a separate table. This would give me two new rows, one for a type of Test1, and one for a type of Test2, with the descriptions. Does this make sense? Then I could relate the individual results to these test types. In my scenario, I don't care which description is used; I just want to take the first description that shows up with the associated "Type."
Does anyone have any idea of how I could go about doing this? I could pull out all unique "Types" from the rows with the Aggregate transformation, but I'm trying to figure out how to get the description that goes along with it.
Thanks,
Brian
First, a couple of important bits of information. Until last week, I had never touched SISS, and therefore, I know very little about it. I just never had the need to use it...until now. I was able to convert my first 3 flat files to SQL2005 tables by right clicking on "SISS Package" and choosing "SISS Import and Export Wizard". That is the extent of my knowledge! So please, please, please be patient with me and be as descriptive as possible.
I thought I could attach some sample files to this post, but it doesn't look like I can. I'll just paste the information below in two separate code boxes. The first code box is the flat file specifications and the second one is a sample single line flat file similar to what I'm dealing with (the real flat file is over 2 gigs).
My questions are below the sample files.

As you can see, each entry could have any number of records and multiples of some of the record types, with one exception, every entry must have a "01" record and can only have one "01" record. Oh, and each record has a length of 400.
I need to get this information into a SQL 2005 database so I can create a front end for accessing the data. Originally, I wanted one line for each account and have null values listed for entries that don't have a specific record. Now that I've looked at the data again, that doesn't look like a good idea. I think a better way to do it would be to create 5 different tables, one for each record type. However, records 2 through 5 don't have anything I can make a primary key. So here are my questions...
Is it possible to make 5 tables from this one file, one table for each of the record types?
If so, can I copy the Account number in record 01, position 13-19 in each of the subsequent record types (that way I could link the tables as needed)?
Can this be done using the SISS Import and Export Wizard to create the package? If not, I'm going to need some very basic step by step instructions on how to create the package.
Is SISS the best way to do this conversion or is there another program that would be better to use?
I know this is a huge question and I appreciate the help of anyone who boldly decides to help me! Thank you in advance and I welcome anyone's suggestions!

Hi Evry one,
I Have Multiple Flat Files in Source Folder(They have Naming Conventions With Todays Date ex: Flatfile_20082204_1,Flatfile_20082204_2,Flatfile_20082204_3 ),
I need to Extract Each and Evry file by Dynamically, and Transform the Flat File then load that Flat file into the Destination Folder with Standard Prefix and Todays Date with a Sequence No ex:Flatfile_20082304_A,Flatfile_20082304_B, Flatfile_20082304_C
Please HELP Me
Thanks In Advance.
How can I take this example Flat file and parse out each section to a new flat file? Each section starts with HD (header row)
http://www.webfound.net/flat_file_example.txt
e.g. an example output file based on above (cutting out the first section) would be:
http://www.webfound.net/flatfile_output.txt
Also, I'll need to grab a certain value in each header row (certain position in the 100 byte header row) to use that as part of the filename that's outputed. I assume it would be better to insert these rows into a temp table then somehow do a search on a specific position in the row...but that's impossible? The other route is to insert each row into a temp table separated out by fields but that is going to be too combursome because we have several formats to determine separation of fields based on the row type so I'd have to create many temp tables and many components in SSIS when all we want to do is again:
1) output each group (broken by each header row) into it's own txt file
2) use a field in the header row as part of the name of the output txt file (e.g. look at the first row, whcih is a header row in flat_file_example. txt. I want to grab the text 'AR10' and use that as part of the filename that I create
Any suggestions on how to approach this whole process in SSIS...the simplest approach that will work ?
Hi All,
I am totally new to SSIS and im in the learing phase. I have a requirement as below,
I have two flat files (mainframe files), the structure i have given below,
File1:
070113
12345johnk
23456james
1st row is header record which has got date in YYMMDD format and remaining rows have emp no and emp name
File2:
070113
070113
070113
070113
contains 4 records which are dates.
The requirement is to compare the header date in file1 with the 4 dates in file2, if they are equal then it should load all the records in file1 except the header into a table and if they donot match then it should log an err msg. Please could someone provide a lead on this.
The files have same record length and fixed field delimited.
Thanks in advance

View 9 Replies View RelatedHI,
As the source data of the cube is from MySQL, and the source data volume is more than 80M row per month, I have to build multiple partition in the cube, each partition contain only one month data, even though, the time to load data directly from MySQL is still too long, and because the mysql .Net provider and is not mature enough, the connection often break while loading, so I have to try to load from flat file which was exported from MySQL.
The Partition Processing Destination seems support this way, but, even it shows the partition name in component editor, it actually process the partition with partition ID, and there's not any way to change destination partition name for this component.
Unless I have to change the SSIS package every month, looks like it is impossible to make a smart ETL program that can dynamic create new partition with the ID and name as YYYYMM every month and load data directly from the flat csv file exported from big MySQL table.
Does anyone know how to load data from flat text, and also support dynamic destination partition name?
And I also find a bug in Partition Processing Destination, even 2005 SP2, if there's more than one cube in a SSAS database, and if two partition name in different cube is same, in component Editor, you can not set mapping to the second one with the same name, even you point to the second one, and click ok, the next time you open the editor, you will find it high light at the first one. And even it shows name in editor, it actually process with partition ID instead of partition name, this make it is not possible by change the partition name which need to process to a constant name, say currentMonth to force the component process it.
Thanks.

I want to load flat files into a single table. But the flat files can have variable number of columns upto a maximum of 10 columns. The table in my database has 10 columns in it. So in case if I load a flat file having 6 columns then rest of the columns in the table will have nulls. I don't want to use script task for this as I am not good in writing C#code.
