Hi,
I created a header using the following expression
Code Snippet(DT_WSTR, 2 )DAY( GETDATE() )+ RIGHT("0"+(DT_WSTR, 2) MONTH( GETDATE() ),2 ) + (DT_WSTR, 4) YEAR( GETDATE() )+ RIGHT("0"+ (DT_WSTR, 2)@[Usuario::mes],2)+ (DT_WSTR, 4)@[Usuario::ano] + "
Column1;Column2"
As you can see it's a 2 line header, but it adds two tab spaces at the begining of the following line.
Any clues?
I have inserted a table in the layout. I want to create in the header of this table a field that sums up a set of values from a iif statement. So My expression is =sum(iif(Fields!aloc.value=2, Fields!balc.Value, 0)).
What I'm trying to do is sum all the values where aloc=2.
I Get an error saying The value expression for the textbox €˜textbox134€™ uses an aggregate function on data of varying data types. Aggregate functions other than First, Last, Previous, Count, and CountDistinct can only aggregate data of a single data type.
That data type of balc is Float.
What am I doing wrong or what do I need to do to fix this?
I have no schooling on Reporting Services or SQL. I've been learning as I go for the past 6 months.

In my SSIS Package, I have to write my [FileHeaderRecord] row, then my [BatchHeaderRecord] row, then my details. How can I do this in a SQL Server Query? When I try my SSIS, my file looks like so..
FHTEST 00000208262015Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â BH000208262015Â Â
I want my BH, Batch Header data, to appear on a new row in the file.Do I have to build a dynamic query to do this?Is there any trick in SSIS to do something like this?I did try creating separate Data Flow Tasks to Query the [FileHeaderRecord] and then use a Flat File Destination and then another Data Flow Task to Query the [BatchHeaderRecord] and use a Flat File Destination again NOT overwriting the file.
I have a parent a package which contains a bunch of Execute Package tasks. The parent package sets a variable which contains the directory for writing logs to. Each child is configured to write logs to a text file, and uses a connection manager for doing so. The connection manager uses an expression for setting the connection string, and in this expression the log directory varaible is used (e.g. @[User::LogDir] + "\FileName.log").
Now the problem is this, when I run the ETL, I'm getting 2 set of log files for each package: one log file is created in C: and the other in the correct dirctory. Each log in C: just contains a single header row, and the corresponding log file in the logging dir contains the log data (including the header row). Even though the filename is specified in an expression, a value for the connection string appears in the properties for the connection manager ("Filename" which probably where the C: log files are coming from). I can't seem to remove this value, and I don't want to hard-code it to a fixed path. I've also set DelayValidation to True, with no luck. I feel I must be missing something obvious, any suggestions? Thanks!

hi everyone!
i am currently creating a package which involves getting data from CSV files. i can successfully get the data from the files, my problem is, i need to get data from the header of the CSV files. i am currently skipping the header rows. the format of the CSV files is as follows:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date, 20070704
Store Code, storeCode1
data row.....
data row.....
data row.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
technically, i also need the date from the header row, but since it is also indicated in the data rows, i have no problem with that. what i need is the Store Code, which is not indicated on the data rows. i need to store the data in a database in the following format:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
StoreCode Date column1 column2 column3 ......
storeCode1 20070704 ...
storeCode2 20070704 ...
storeCode3 20070704 ...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
any idea how SSIS can handle this? thanks a lot!
Hi All,
Any one could help me like how to port the data into the SQL Server Database if i have the below sample data in flat file.

Basically, Marked Red record stands for Transaction Header, Marked Green records are Transaction Detail 1 and Marked Blue records stands for another Transaction Detail 2.
Now I need to move the data, based on the Record Type ( First Column 2,3,4) If its RecTyp 2 then move into Tran Header table, when RecType 3 then move into Tran Det1 table and finally, when RecType 4 then move into Tran Det2 table.
Anyone could guide how to start this migration.
Note: The given sample is the one set of data in that flat file. Similarly in the same flatfile we have multiple set of data.

I would appreciate some help on a procedure that I have. Using BulkInsert, I would like to import records from a text file. The issue Ihave is the file contains a header - '1AMC_TO_Axiz' and a footer'1AMC_TO_Axiz2". Using a format file, I can get the import to work byediting the file and removing these two entries. Is there a way tosetup the format file to skip these two entries? My file currentlylooks like this:7.0161 SQLCHAR 0 50 "|" 1 keyMemberNo2 SQLCHAR 0 10 "|" 2 fldEffdate.................16 SQLCHAR 0 10 "

I have data arriving in fixed-width EBCDIC format. Each file contains one or more groups of records. Before and after each group there is a header/footer, which is not in the same layout as the records that it describes. Header, record and footer each have a different layout to the other but are consistent within themselves.
Thankfully the one thing header, footer and record layout have in common is their length, so at the moment, using the appropriate code page in the Flat File Connection Manager, I'm able to read all the columns as strings. The headers and footers just come through, albeit a bit weird looking, and I can filter them out with a conditional splt.
However, the header contains information that needs to be appended to each record in the group. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to achieve this? I'm trying to avoid developing a custom data source for this task but, if there's no other way, has anyone done it and do they have any tips?
Hello all,
Is it possible to have two different formats for the header and the data in a flat file connection?
An example text file would look like this:
Col1,Col2,Col3
abcdefghi12345testtesttesttest
abcdeeeee12333setsetsetsetsets
where the header is delimited and the data is ragged right.
It looks like you should be able to accomplish this from the Flat File Connection Manager Editor interface, but perhaps having different delimiter dropdown boxes for the header and columns can only be used if you are using the Delimited format?
Thanks for any info you can provide!

I made a mistake in copying my database and somehow lost my file header. How do I recreate my file header without losing all the data in my database? Is there a way to undo my mistake?
Thanks

Hello, I'm pretty new to SSIS but so far what I have is a package that exports a SQL Server table to a text file. I needed to add a dynamic header that had the date and time of creation. Now I need to know how many records are being exported and put that number into the header.
For the header I am using a script task in the control flow which works well to put the creation date in the header. The script runs and writes the header and then the data flow exports and appends the records to the same text file. It seems to me since the script runs before the data flow I won't know the amount of records until after the data flow is done.
Maybe I could write the header after the data is gathered but before it is exported. Can anyone make some suggestions?
Basically the text file would be:
2/6/2008
154
Data
Data
Data
...
the 154 would be the total number of records to follow.
While I'm at it can someone tell me how to access the destination file path in the flat file connection? Right now I'm just hardcoding the path into my script.
Thanks,
Gunner
I'm unable to figure out how to write a column header to my flat file destination. My source is a OLE DB SQL query and I need the column names as a header row in my text file destination. This seems easy but the closet I can find is hardcoding the column header row in the header property. Is this the only option?
Thanks

I can't believe it's been a few days and I can't figure this out. We have a flat file (purchaseOrder.txt) that has header and detail lines. It gets dropped in a folder. I need to pick it up and insert it into normalized tables and/or transform it into another file structure or .NET class.

Hi,
I'm trying to extract data from a Flat File which is as fixed length as they come. The file has a header, which simply contains the number of records in the file, followed by the records, with no header delimeter (No CR/LF, nothing).
For example a file would look like the following:
00000003Name1Address1Name2Address2Name3Address3
So this has 3 records (indicated by the first 8 characters), each consisting of a Name and Address.
I can't see a way to extract the data using a flat file connection, unless we add a delimeter for the header (not possible at this stage). Am I wrong?
Any suggestions on possible solution would be much appreciated - I'm thinking Ill have to write a script to parse the file manually.
Thanks in advance,
Scott
I have a flat file with header and detail information, it is actually employee punch card data. I need to parse the header line which contains the Employee ID and don't save it to a table just save the value. Then with the detail line, parse the different data elements and save them along with the employee ID to one table. Then continue until the next header line is read.
The file looks something like this:
FINNEY,RONNIE 0001005420
Mon 09/03 700a HOL 8.00
Tue 09/04 630a*E 326p 8.50 8.50

So I think I need a data flow transformation object that let's me save the Employee ID into a variable available when the next record is read. What type of transformation would be best?
I'm trying to create a flat file that has a header like:
/INST=-1
/DELIMITER=","
/FIELDS=FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3,FIELD4
/LOCATION=100
data,data,data,data
data,data,data,data
where 'data' represents the data written out by the data flow process to the flat file destination. This actually turns out quite nice except that when I place the lines that start with '/' in the header box for the flat file destination the carriage return doesn't get written correctly after each line and I end up with an unrecognized character when I open the file in a simple app like notepad. I've tried using different encodings for the flat file connection, but to no avail. It is also interesting to note that when I close the package and reopen it the flat file destination editor UI also doesn't recognize the carriage returns and places a box in there place.
Below is a copy of the the property as it is written in the package xml:
<property id="92" name="Header" dataType="System.String" state="default" isArray="false" description="Specifies the text to write to the destination file before any data is written." typeConverter="" UITypeEditor="" containsID="false" expressionType="Notify">/INST=-1
/DELIMITER=","
/FIELDS=FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3,FIELD4
/LOCATION=100</property>
Any help is appreciated.

I have a variable defined as "Country". Based on the value, the header row printed needs to be different.
I've already created a 'HeaderRow' variable that I'm able to set using a script task. But how can you set the Header text value at run time from the variable? There is no expression defined for the Header with the Flat File Destination object, and when I attempt to reference the HeaderRow variable as the Header text, the variable name is printed as the header.
Another approach I tried was to write the Header Row separately through another data flow task, but the issue here is: what is the input source when all you have is a Country variable?

Hi,
I've created a stored procedure that creates a script to create a number of objects within the database (based on what existing objects are in the database). From Management Studio, this works fine, and the output is exactly as I want it.
I'm now trying to create a job that will execute this stored procedure, and deposit the results into a file somewhere on the server. When the job runs, the script is created in the correct place and is essentially ok.
However, there are a couple of questions I'd like to ask.
Why does SQL Server Agent put a header at the top of the output file? I was hoping to be able to use that output file 'as is' and execute it automatically to recreate my objects when required. (Obviously, I can manually remove the header, but this is an inconvenience in this situation). How do I stop it?
Also, when executed from SSMS, the output is correctly line-spaced. But, the output from the scheduled job adds an extra line between each line of text, which is, again, inconvenient. Why does it do this, and how can I prevent this (again, without manually editting the output)?
Any thoughts and help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Simon
Just attempting to import a simple tab delimited text file into my SQL Server 2005 database using the SQL Server Import and Export wizard. Column names are specified within the first line of the file. The Header Rows to Skip field value is listed as 0, but the wizard indicates that "The field, Header rows to skip, does not contain a valid numeric value".
Why isn't zero (0) a valid numeric value? I don't want to skip any rows. PLUS, I get the same error when trying to export to a text file although the header rows to skip field does not exist. I can increase the number to 1 or more, but the wizard will skip part of my data .. unacceptable.
What am I missing here? I installed SP1 of SQL server 2005, but that did not help.
Thanks in advance.
I need some help. I am writing a report in SSRS 2005 that I then need to export to Excel. When I put a report header I would expect the header to not display in the Excel spreadsheet until the Print Preview or the Print.

Hi Friends,
There is a one header in the report, when I publish and hit the report in IE(internet explor) the header appears fine on first page when I go to next page this header does not appear.
But in mozilla the header is visible on every page of the report. so it is working fine in mozilla.
