Frustrations With Data Conversion Task
Apr 23, 2007
It seems to me, after some frustrations, that Destination components (and perhaps the Source components as well) should have included data conversation facilities as part of their designer/UI; being the experts on their data requirements. In particular, for the Destination components, data conversion could have simply been an extension of their record mapping activity.
Presently, I am force to seperately (1) note the datatypes, then (2) convert them in the Conversion component, then (3) map them in the Destination component, then (4) cuss...(think a lot of fields now and going forward)...
A seperate Data Conversion task might still be useful for completeness, but generally data conversation is only meaninful when you are directly accessing a datastore.
I am curious as to why data conversation features was not embedded in the Destination component (e.g. in its superclass)? Perhaps I am missing a subtle point.

Hi,
I have another issue. I have an excel file that I pipe through a "data conversion" task. I have set all the column data types to strings, because there's no way to know beforehand if a particular column will be number or text because the file is very non-standard (it looks more like a formatted report).
After the data conversion, I send all the rows to a script task. In the script task, I do a check on the numeric fields.
for example:
If Not IsNumeric(Row.Price) Then
Row.Price_IsNull = True
End If
However, this check fails each and every time, even if the field contains a number! I don't have this problem when using flat file sources.
So, none of my numeric fields are getting loaded to my ole db destination.
Help, is there a way around this? Or am I forced to just skip this number check altogether? I'd prefer not to.
Thanks

First of all I'm new to SQL Server... With that said:
I'm having problems using a Linked Server.
I can add one and see the views and tables but the fields are not accesable to view or use.
Any suggestions ?
Thank You in advance.

I am trying to use the Bulk Insert Task to load from a csv file. My final column is a bit that is nullable. My file is an ID column that is int, a date column that is mm/dd/yyy, then 20 columns that are real, and a final column that is bit. I've tried various combinations of codepage and datafiletype on my task component. When I have RAW with Char, I get the error included below. If I change to RAW/Native or codepage 1252, I don't have an issue with the bit; however, errors start generating on the ID and date columns.
I have tried various data type settings on my flat file connection, too. I have tried DT_BOOL and the integer datatypes. Nothing seems to work.
I hope someone can help me work through this.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Experts,
I am extracting data from SQL Server 2005 to flat file destination. I am using SQL Command to specify the data selection query. One of my query uses Replicate function to derive a column value. When I execute this package it fails with the error "Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "value" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
The reason for the problem is that, it is taking the InputColumnWidth of the flat file destination as 8000 and I specified the OutputColumnWidth as 4.
If I change the OutputColumnWidth to 8000, it is working without any error but resulting in the column width of 8000.
I tried using DerivedColumn Transformation's Type cast and DataConversion Transformation but still I am getting the same error in the respective Transformation components.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue.

Hi,
I am trying to create a simple BI Application for SSIS. In Visual Studio 2005 I just get a Data Flow Task from the toolbar and add it to the project. When I double click it I get the following error:
The task with the name "Data Flow Task" and the creation name "DTS.Pipeline.1" is not registered for use on this computer.
Then when I try to delete it it gives this other error:
Cannot remove the specified item because it was not found in the specified Collection.
I am creating this application in an administrator account in this computer, so I doubt the problem is related to permissions. I am running SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 in WinXP Tablet PC Edition.
Any suggestions why this is happening and how to fix it?

I am using SQL 2005 SSIS. I am joining several large tables and then the move result into another table in the same database.
I would like know which method is faster:
Use Execute SQL Task to insert the result set to the target table
Use the Data Flow Task to insert the result set to the target table. (Use OLE DB source to execute SQL command and then use the SQL destination)
Could you tell me why then other is slower?
Thanks.

Hello,
I am wondering what conversion rules apply, when a string, which contains a number, is saved to a SQL Server 2005 into a column of type decimal.
This is the code I€™m using (C++):
CString cValue = "0.75"
_variant_t vtFieldValue;
vtFieldValue = _variant_t(cValue)
pRecordSet->Fields->Item["MyColumn"]->Value = vtFieldValue;
"pRecordSet" is an ADO recordset. The database column "MyColumn" is of type "decimal(19,10)".
The most important question for me is, if the regional settings of the database server or the regional settings of the client PC are considered during the conversion from the string to the decimal value. For example in standard French regional settings the "." would not be recognized as decimal separator.
I am also wondering if the language of the database instance, in which this data is saved, is considered during this conversion or any other settings of this database instance.
So my general question is: Does anybody know exactly what rules apply during the above mentioned conversion?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Volker

Hello
I have an odd problem that is driving me nutz. I have a very simple SSIS package that imports a 5 colum flatfile into a sql Server 2005 Table.
When I created this package with the wizzard, it will execute perfectly fine and processes all rows into the destination table.
But when I hit F5 to execute it manually it will fail before inserting a single row.
The error it generates is (Spalte 5 is a Datetime in the format DD.MM.YYYY) :
Error: 0xC02020A1 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Spalte 5" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
Error: 0xC0209029 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: The "output column "Spalte 5" (25)" failed because error code 0xC0209084 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Spalte 5" (25)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
Error: 0xC0202092 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: An error occurred while processing file "C:WorkDaten_NC_1.txt" on data row 177.

Hi,
I'm trying to implement an incremental data pull (Oracle to SQL) based on Andy's blog:
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andy_leonard/archive/2007/07/09/ssis-design-pattern-incremental-loads.aspx
My development machine is decent: 1.86 GHz, Intel core 2 CPU, 3 GB of RAM.
However it seems the data flow task gets hung whenever I test the package against the ~6 million row source, as can be seen from these screenshots. I have no memory limitations on the lookup transformation. After the rows have been cached nothing happens. Memory for the dtsdebug process hovers around 1.8 GB and it uses 1-6 percent of CPU resources continuously. I am not using fast load to insert new records into my sql target table. (I am right clicking Sequence Container 3 and executing this container NOT the entire package in the screenshots)

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/5.jpg
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/6.jpg
The same package works fine against a similar test table with 150k rows.
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/7.jpg
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/8.jpg
The weird thing is it only takes 24 minutes for a full refresh of the entire source table from Oracle to the SQL target table.
Any hints,advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
I created a package with SQL 2005. The package gets the Access DB and then inserts it into SQL Server.
If I open the package in .NET, I can see the SQL Task and Data Flow Task. The SQL Task has a property sqlstatementsource, which has the necxessary SQL code to create the tables.
How can I tell the SQL Task to recompile the SQL code if I give it another DB name, because the tables differ and don't map in the Data Flow Task
Thanks

After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.

I have a View that multiplies a decimal (8,5) data type * money data type (no cast or convert) and for some odd reason comes up with a bit result (0 or 1). If I take the select statement out of the View, paste it into Query analyzer and execute it I get a decimal result.
It's easy enough to put a cast into the view but I'm wondering what is going on in the view that returns the bit data type.

Hi,
The requirement is, we have to transfer from Flat file to OledBDestination. Flat File example is: 001|001|abc|
In the Database Table, Column A and Column B are Numeric(4,3). Column C is varchar(50).We have to write custom component (programmatically) which puts in the Database as
0.001|0.001|abc
I followed the Programmatic Sample, that comes with installation, ChangeCase which changes the case of the column as it moves to Database. I modified the program to meet my requirement. Program Sample is below. In below, I get the decimal Value (as columnValue), and then Divide by Math.Pow(10.0,3) to get 0.001. And I set it to thebuffer.SetDecimal method. For some reason, the decimal values does not show up in the Database. It truncates and gives 0.000. What Am I doing Wrong? Please help and suggest....
Decimal columnValue = buffer.GetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex);
columnValue = (Decimal)(Decimal.ToDouble(columnValue) / Math.Pow(10.0, (3)));
buffer.SetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex, columnValue);
All Code here:
public override void ProcessInput(int inputID, PipelineBuffer buffer) {
if (!buffer.EndOfRowset){
IDTSInput90 input = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.GetObjectByID(inputID);
int errorOutputID = -1;
int errorOutputIndex = -1;
int defaultOutputId = -1;
GetErrorOutputInfo(ref errorOutputID, ref errorOutputIndex);
if (errorOutputIndex == 0)
defaultOutputId = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[1].ID;
else defaultOutputId = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[0].ID;
while (buffer.NextRow()){
if (columnInfos.Length == 0)
buffer.DirectRow(defaultOutputId);
bool isError = false;
/// Iterate the columns in the columnInfos array.
for (int x = 0; x < columnInfos.Length; x++){
ColumnInfo colInfo = columnInfos[x];
/// Is the column null?
if (!buffer.IsNull(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex)){
if (colInfo.dataType == DataType.DT_NUMERIC){
Decimal columnValue = buffer.GetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex);
columnValue = (Decimal)(Decimal.ToDouble(columnValue) / Math.Pow(10.0, (3)));
buffer.SetDecimal(colInfo.bufferColumnIndex, columnValue);
if (!isError)
buffer.DirectRow(defaultOutputId);

I have single letters in a Flat file and it is in the string format,but now i want to convert it in to int format.I have tried doing this by SSIS but it is not working.
I used data conversion and copy column transformation.
I got a error message.
it automatically correct the meta data mismatch. But when i run the package, it gives the following error message.

This is just one error message.
Please can you tell me the steps to do this correctly.
Also I need to know how to run a SSIS package through command line?
