Hi
I got two text files with data.I got to compare two files and if there is any inconsistancy between two files I need to dispaly as a report using sql reporting services.I do not know how to do that?
Any source code or suggestion.
Thanx in advance
Hi ya,
I'm generating a flat file from SSIS package and i'm having some problems.
My package contains this Data Flow which is connecting to a Database and importing the records. I did design a script component since the file I generate has some padding.
Here is the code for the component so that you really understand what i'm trying to achieve over here.
Dim toPadTo As Int32
Dim myDate As String
Dim MultVal As Int64
Dim myMonth As Int16, myMonth2 As String
myMonth = CShort(Row.TransDate.Month)
If myMonth <= 9 Then
myMonth2 = myMonth.ToString.PadLeft(2, CChar("0"))
Else
myMonth2 = myMonth.ToString
End If
myDate = CStr(Row.TransDate.Date.Day) + myMonth2 + CStr(Row.TransDate.Year)
MultVal = CInt(Row.TransAmount * 100)
Dim myChkLength As Int16 = CShort(MultVal.ToString.Length)
Dim myCombine As String = CStr(MultVal) & CStr(myDate)
Dim myCombine2 As String = CStr(MultVal) & CStr(myDate)
Select Case myChkLength
Case 4
toPadTo = 30 - (myCombine.ToString.Length)
Case 5
toPadTo = 30 - (myCombine.ToString.Length - 1)
Case 6
toPadTo = 30 - (myCombine.ToString.Length - 2)
Case 7
toPadTo = 30 - (myCombine.ToString.Length - 3)
End Select
' + myDate.ToString.Length - 1))
Row.myConvert = myCombine2.PadLeft(toPadTo, CChar("0"))
Dim MyNewRow As String = myCombine2.PadLeft(toPadTo, CChar("0"))
Dim ChkSign As Int16
ChkSign = CShort(Math.Sign(CDec(MyNewRow)))
If ChkSign = 1 Then
Row.myConvert = MyNewRow.PadLeft(2, CChar("+"))
ElseIf ChkSign = -1 Then
Row.myConvert = MyNewRow.PadLeft(2, CChar("-"))
Else
Row.myConvert = MyNewRow.PadLeft(2, CChar("+"))
End If
End Sub
Obviously i don't think this is the best approach hence i'm asking? not to mention the sort of problem i'm getting with the + and - insertion part of the code.
To give you an example of how the value would be:
Actual value: 159.23
After transformation it should be like this : +00000000000015923
Depending on the amount x no zeros should be inserted.
Any other way to achieve it? Apart from this I also need to generate a sequence no with some string at the end of the ragged file. How would i go for it ?
Cheers
I'm trying to generate a DTS Package with VB.Net using the Microsoft DTSPackage Object Library and
and the Microsoft DTSDataPump Scripting Object Library
I have to load csv files into SQL tables.
I could generate both a SQL connection and a FlatFile connection and the transformationtask.
When I look at the transformationtask and click on the transformation tab I get this error
"Incomple file format information"
The problem is I don't find where I could set the FlatFile connection properties like "Text Qualifier" and
"row delimiter"
I tried this but it still shows CRLF as row delimiter when I look at the generated DTS Package
Dim oConnection As DTS.Connection2
Dim package As DTS.Package2
Dim filename As String
filename = "myfilename.csv"
oConnection = package.Connections.New("DTSFlatFile")
oConnection.Name = filename
oConnection.ConnectionProperties.Item("Row Delimiter").Value = vbTab
Hello,
SRS 2005 provides functionality for loading and rendering reports on fly using LoadReportDefinition and Render methods defined in ReportExecutionService webservice.
I was wondering if the same/similar behaviour can be accomplished in Reporting Services 2000.

How can I setup an SSIS package so that it will generate a report and email (html version) everytime upon completing/populating my datareaderdest?
View 12 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am very new to RS and I have a scenario that I am not sure how to enact in the application I am building.
I have a report that generates remittances for an EFT payment file. The Remittances in this file are either printed or emailed to the company they are form. The output type and recipients email address are stored in the Db.
I would like the user to be able to click my Generate Remittance button, and instead of the report being rendered on screen, I would like it to automatically send all remittances marked for printing to the printer, and all marked email to be sent to the email address that is in the Db for that report.
I am thinking that my application will need to run the report twice, the first time reporting on only the ones needing printing (but then how do I automatically send the report to the users default printer without the report being rendered on screen), and then a second time reporting on the emailed ones and then automatically emailing them off to the individual recipients.
If anyone can shed some light on what I am needing to do, or maybe even suggest a better way to go about it, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers

I have a report that I pass parameters of a clientID. I run the report and export it to a .pdf file. I would like to be able to do this for multiple clients without manually having to enter the ID each time and exporting it.
I have thought about creating a report that calls this report so that I can pass in the clientID one at a time. The problem is trying to export each one.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
I've created a data flow where I have linked to an OLE DB Source then created a Flat File Destination. My file is now on my c: drive. I'd like to use that data to create a report, then print to a PDF. How would I do that?
Currently I was doing this in Access, but I am moving my processes to SSIS.
I tried to open the reports for activityof all blocking transactions under the
reports-->standardreport-->Activity-All Blocking Transactions
but it is throwing error
Unable to retrieve data for this report. Following error occured.

Hello,
I have a long running report (using a couple of sub-reports) that generates errors when trying to render the report during replication of the source data.
Specifically, I have a detailed product report displaying detailed sales information for a particular product and date. I then wrapped this report in a parent report so the business users can see multiple products for multiple days (i.e. all sales by department). The reports use a replicated database for their source (to off-load the traffic from the production POS database). If the users try and generate the report during the window when the database is being replicated, some of the €śsub-reports€? fail. If the users simply re-run the report, all of the data is there. Therefore, I know it€™s not a problem with the report, but rather with the data.
Since the report takes so long to render, simply re-running the report is not a very good solution. Another problem I have is that reporting services returns the generic €śError: sub-report could not be generated€? error, which causes the users to think there is something wrong with the report.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Or notify the users when the data is being updated?
Thoughts?
Thanks!
David.
Hi, I'm a first time user at reporting services and in dire need of some help, I'm having a real hard time finding the information I need.
I have made two reports in Business Intelligence Development Studio that access a sql database and I can deploy them and see them at http://localhost/reports etc.
What I wan't to do is be able to "trigger" the reports to be built from a schedule (e.g. every 8 hour on weekdays, every 12 hours on weekends but should be able to be changed) and after built to be saved to a html file.
I also need to set the sql query for the dataset before generating the report (select * from table where DateTimeType between This and That).
Anyway, I'm completely lost on how to achive this and would greatly appreciate and tips or pointers to where the information can be found.
Kindest Regards
Hi All,
I need to know how to create a AScii 7 bit flat file using Integration services. I do have basic charecters in the flat files - only other charecters required are a pipe (|), which is used as delimeter and additionally it will have line feed (LF) which is used as row delimeter.
Please let me know if this is possible.

Hi All,
I am using MS SQL 2005 and using Integration Services I have created FTP task to create a txt file with the required information on to a FTP location. But I need the encoding of the file to be set to AScii 7 bit mode rather than unicode or Ansi-Latin I - which are 16 bit. I tried creating the file first in unicode first & then converting it Ascii, but this made me to loose some data from the generated file. Looks like this doesnt work out and my attempts generating AScii 7 bit flat file is failing. I need solution to URGENTLY otherwise I will have think of some alternative other than Integration services. Egarly waiting for any responses!!

Hello Everyone.
I am a bit new to SQL Server but not to DBA or programming per se. I am having difficulties getting either an Excel or Text flat file to import properly.
I guess it would be best to ask, using either SSIS or BULK INSERT, what options need to be entered for a typical excel flat file?
In my application I am allowing the users attach files. I found the data type "Image", Will this also allow regular file attachments?
Thanks,

How can I store flat files in SQL SERVER??
Actually I am planning to prepare a repository of different files like .xls, .pdf, .doc, .ppt etc and then i will have a web interface to access these files. Can anybody guide me, How can i store these flat files in datbase.
I'm trying to input a few thousand flat files into a few thousand tables in a sql databaseim using integration services with a for each loop to read all the files in a directorythe problem is i can only insert the data from all the files into one tabledoes anyone know a way to do multiple tables? maybe using some sort of variable?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a package that contains 22 data flow tasks, one for each flat file that I need to process and import. I decided against making each import a seperate package because I am loading the package in an external application and calling it from there.
Now, everything works beautifully when all my text files are exported from a datasource beyond my control. I have an application that processes a series of files encoded using EBCDIC and I am not always gauranteed that all the flat files will be exported. (There may have not been any data for the day.)
I am looking for suggestions on how to handle files that do not exist. I have tried making a package level error handler (Script task) that checks the error code ("System::ErrorCode") and if it tells me that the file cannot be found, I return Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Sucsess, but that is not working for me, the package still fails. I have also thought about progmatically disabling the tasks that do not have a corresponding flat file, but it seems like over kill.
So I guess my question is this; if the file does not exist, how can I either a) skip the task in the package, or b) quietly handle the error and move on without failing the package?
Thanks!
Lee.
Hi,
I'm trying to write the content of variables on flat files... is that possible?

I'm trying to input a few thousand flat files into a few thousand tables in a sql database, using SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio.

Our ETL process involves some pre-load validation, and I'm wondering how best to implement it in SSIS.
Some details on my situation: I need to import 30 flat files with different data formats into 30 destination tables. In addition, these files share a common header and footer row format, and I need to validate these headers and footers before using the imported data downstream. (For example, the footer contains a record count, and fields in the header and footer should match some user variables.) My first approach was to write a Perl script that splits each file into three (header, data, and footer), but while that makes it easy to import the data section, it's more complicated to validate the header and footer and work them into the control flow. I think I'd also have to copy the same logic for all 30 data flows, which is less than ideal.
It looks like implementing this logic directly in SSIS is a little ugly (though that could be my lack of experience speaking). As I thought about this some more, I came up with a couple other solutions -- any critiques or comments?
1) Write a custom source adapter (which will probably contain the default flat file adapter) that knows how to validate my header and footer. I'd be able to read the file formats from an XML file, which might make my scripts more generic, and I might even be able to handle some custom data conversions more elegantly than I'm doing right now. (These files represent null numerics as whitespace rather than an empty field.)
2) Beef up the Perl splitter to validate the header and footer. If the cleanest approach is to say "assume that SSIS is only loading pre-validated data", this makes the problem entirely external.
Or am I entirely missing the mark here? Any thoughts?
For some reason I am having a really hard time grasping IS and I have a task that I would imagine is easy.
I have a flat file source with 6 columns, I would like to import this file into two flat files. One file containing columns 1,2,3,5 and the second containing 2,4,5,6. I created the connection managers for both destination files, but I can€™t determine what transformation tool I need to accomplish this task? Could you help?
Here's my delema, I have a file that's 308 bytes wide by 5.7 million records. The record length is fixed and the position and width of the known within the record. When I run DTS I recieve this error Msg MS DTS flat file provide and Err Diesdription: error creating file mapping view: not enough storage is available to process this command. Then when I try to continue with the wizard, it will not allow me to separate the data into the format that I need. Is there any other way to import this file using DTS?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo we are running SQL 2000 and we use a DTS Package to load about 100 txt files to different tables in a SQL DB.
So in DTS packages you define the connection (database) and the different source files will connect to the connection.
You define the destination on the flow arrow. My question is how do i accomplish this in SQL 2008 using SSIS. (upgrading SQL).
I had to use use ssis 2005 in a short project recently & had littletime to work it out. I was importing a whole bunch of flat files intoSQL Server tables with many derived columns and transformations inbetween.It seems to automatically map columns from the flat file to columns inthe sql table where the names of the columns are equal. But can italso do it automatically on position, so flat file column 1 goes tosql table colum 1, etc, etc? In each flat file I had to manually clickand drag the columns across to map them which took a very long time asthere were hundreds of columns in some tables!Thanks.

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.
Hi.
I've tried to create a SSIS package to simply export a bunch of tables as flat files, and am having troubles because when the for each loop hits the second table the column mappings in the flat file destination are not synchronised with its schema.
I created a for each loop with an enumerator that returns the table names and sets a user variable.
I created a data flow task which dynamically connects to the table name variable.
In the Flat File Destination there is a column mapping property, but I don't know how to reset these mappings on each iteration.
Any ideas?
hi,
i am sure this question must have been anwsered some where, but after a lot of searching i still have not find the anwser.
i have flat files without column headers (267 columns in total).
since i have the file's description i have created a table to house these extracts with the columns in the same order as in the flat files.
additionally, i have an excel containing a list of the column names their data types and length as well as their position on the flat files.
in the old, DTS would map the columns without headers to those columns in the destination table using their order, in which case it works like a breeze for me. but i can not find a way of doing that in SSIS.
i would very much appreciate someone's assistance on this one since i am sure that there must be a better way than manually (and tediously & error prone) to map all those columns.
thanks in advance
