Getdate() In Derived Columns Shows Error Outputcolumnlineageid
Feb 15, 2008
Hi,
In my working existing package I am adding a derived column as date and datatype as DT_DBTIMESTAMP and my destination data type is datetime. when I try to union these records through an "Union ALL" component its not allowing me to map this column and throws error as "outputcolumnlineageid " and defines the error as metadata for source and destination are not matching.
I checked the metadata and they are DT_DBTIMESTAMP, Am I missing something? please advice.
Hi all--I've got a derived column transformation where I am adding a field called Import_Date. I'm telling it to add as a new column and use the function "GetDate()" to populate the field. When I run the package, it returns NULL as the data value for all rows. Any idea why this might be happening?
Here's another one of my bitchfest about stuff which annoy the *** out of me in SSIS (and no such problems in DTS):
Do you ever wonder how easy it was to set up text file to db transform in DTS - I had no problems at all. In SSIS - 1 spent half a day trying to figure out how to get proper column data types for text file - OF Course MS was brilliant enough to add "Suggest Types" feature to text file connection manager - BUT guess what - it sample ONLY 1000 rows - so I tried to change that number to 50000 and clicked ok - BUT ms changed it to 1000 without me noticing it - SO NO WONDER later on some of datatypes did not match. And boy what a fun it is to change the source columns after you have created a few transforms.
This s**hit just breaks... So a word about Derived Columns - pretty useful feature heh? ITs not f***ing useful if it DELETES SOME of the Code itself after there have been changes in dataflow. I cant say how pissed off im about that SSIS went ahead and deleted columns from flow & messed up derived columns just because the lineageIDs dont match.
Meta-data - it would be useful if you could change it and refresh it - im just sick and tired of it that it shows warnings and errors when there's nothing wrong - so after a change i need to doubleclick all my transforms so that those red & yellow boxes would disappear.
Oh and y I passionately dislike Derived columns - so you create new fields based on some data - you do some stuff - combine multiple columns to one, but you have no way saying remove the columns from the pipeline. Y you need it - well if you have 50K + rows with 30+ columns then its EXTRA useless memory overhead for your package.
Hopefully one day I will understand how SSIS works (not an ez task I say) - I might be able to spend more time on development and less time on my bitchfest - UNTIL then --> Another Day - Another Hassle with SSIS
I have a SQL Agent job that runs at 4:15 in the morning. The job has 5 steps, each step only runs if the preceding step succeeds. The second step, which calls an SSIS package that does the main processing, appears to finish as it goes on to the next step; however, when looking in 'View History' there are 2 entries for this step - the first one shows it as still running (Circled Green Arrow) but with a start and end time. The second entry says the job succeeded.
I have been seeing conflicts, such as deadlocks, with later jobs. I suspect this job is causing the conflicts - maybe the package is still running in the background instead of having actually completed?
what conditions a job step my be showing in the job history as both running AND completed successfully?
I'm trying to write a query that concatenates multiple records into onederived column. Let's say I have an author (Joe Writer) who has writtenthree books (Book 1, Book2 and Book 3). The author is in tblAuthors, hisbooks are in the tblBooks and they are joined by the AuthorID field(number). If I use a simple select query to give me the author name and thetitle, I will get three records, one for each book written.What I want is to have all three books combined into one derived column. Soif I do the select statement, I will get one column with the author name,and the second column will put together all three names of the bookseparated by a column. So it will look like:Author TitleJoe Writer Book 1, Book 2, Book 3,Rather than having it appear as 3 records:Joe Writer Book 1Joe Writer Book 2Joe Writer Book 3Could someone help me with the SQL involved in this?Thanks for the help.Cheers,Mike
Hi I'm updating an old Access application to SQL Server and am currently trying to decipher one of the reports on the old application. It appears to be evaluating a derived column from one query (qryStudentSuspGroup.Suspension) in the Select statement of another. I have tried to put the query that creates the derived column in as a nested query into the other query but can't get it to work. This is all a bit beyond my rudimentary SQL skills! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The original Access SQL appears below:
SELECT [Enter the academic year (4 digits)] AS [input], ResearchStudent.Department, ResearchStudent.DateAwarded, ResearchStudent.StudentNumber, Person.Forenames AS fore, Person.Surname AS Sur, ResearchStudent.Mode, ResearchStudent.RegistrationDate, StudentExamination.Decision, IIf(([Suspension]) Is Null Or [Suspension]=0,([DateAwarded]-[RegistrationDate])/365,(([DateAwarded]-[RegistrationDate])-([Suspension]))/365) AS CompDate, ResearchStudent.EnrollmentCategory, qryStudentSuspGroup.Suspension FROM ((ResearchStudent LEFT JOIN Person ON ResearchStudent.ResearchStudentID = Person.PersonID) LEFT JOIN qryStudentSuspGroup ON ResearchStudent.ResearchStudentID = qryStudentSuspGroup.ResearchStudentID) LEFT JOIN StudentExamination ON ResearchStudent.ResearchStudentID = StudentExamination.ResearchStudentID WHERE (((Year([DateAwarded]))>=[Enter the academic year (4 digits)] And (Year([DateAwarded]))<=([Enter the academic year (4 digits)]+1)) AND ((IIf(Year([DateAwarded])=[Enter the academic year (4 digits)],Month([DateAwarded])>8,Month([DateAwarded])<9))<>False)) ORDER BY ResearchStudent.Department, ResearchStudent.Mode, ([DateAwarded]-[RegistrationDate])/365
I have seen it happen frequently that I type in a perfectly valid SSIS expression (this is easy for me since I am an old hand at C++/C/C#) in a row in a Derived Column transformation, and it turns red. Or sometimes, I will have an invalid expression that I correct, but it stays red. Finally I have also seen it happen that I make some change in the data flow pipeline and suddenly a Derived Column transform develops an error. I then go into the Derived Column transform and find that the expression has turned red. So, I literally have to go into the expression in these cases, and make a trivial change to them to get the red error to go away. Alternatively, I can cut the derived column expression text, and then paste it back in and it works (this is most telling.)
So, it seems to me the Derived Column is somehow holding onto some meta data about the Derived Column that is getting out of date (rather than re-evaluating the correctness of the Expression.) One thing I usually can do to repro this at times is to remove a column (that the Derived Column depends upon) from the pipeline and then re-add it. When I go into the Derived Column it will be red, and then like I said I have to tweak the expression to force SSIS to re-evaluate the expression.
I'm sending a lot of columns through my derived column transform, checking for empty strings from a flat file - I was wondering is there a way that I could "script out" all the transforms instead of enduring this click hell that I'm stuck in inside the derived column transformation editor. I've got probably 100+ columns to configure with the following sort of transform....
Basically - if the string is empty, then throw Null in the data stream. I'm about a third the way through but it would really be nice if there was a quicker way. Even with the most efficient copying & pasting & keyboard shortcuts, it's still painful.
Is it possible to do pattern matching against a string using FINDSTRING or similar in a derived column expression without recourse to including 3rd party regexp style plugins?
I want to seach for a reference in a string which will have the format ANNNNNAAA ie. an alpha with a certain value followed by 5 digits followed by three alphas with specific values.
I have a lot of different data flows that need "Derived Column". There are maybe only 5 different such "Derived Column" but they appear many times. Is there a way to eliminate all that double work? It should be something that does not take me more time to do than just duplicating all the "Derived Columns".
Trying to setup a derived column to use an expression stored in a package variable. But it seems that variables are always evaluated as text...I need it to evaluate as a Columname sometimes.
Example: On an ETL of Products I want a new derived column that uses two other columns.
I can hardcode an expression of ProductID + " - " + ProductName and that results in dynamic output. But now I want to use that as an expression stored in a variable so I can change it when needed.
So I make that expression = @[User::Variable] and stuff into @variable ( a string param) : ProductID + " - " + ProductName My output is the literal "ProductID + " - " + ProductName", and not the actual ID's and Names
I've tried with/without brackets, quotes and braces but no change.
Any way I can get the pieces in that variable expression to evaluate as column names?
I have 3 different companies that share the same ticket_types(CRMS System). I need to display the Ticket Types and the 3 company's Ticket Count:
Ticket Type | Company A Count | Company B Count | Company C Count
I can get the information individually for each company, but if a company doesn't have a ticket in one of the ticket_types, then it isn't displayed in a row. So, I tried to write the following, which isn't pulling back any data.
DECLARE @startdate date = '20150306' DECLARE @enddate date = '20151031' DECLARE @AcctGrp varchar(20) = '111' ;WITH TType AS ( SELECT ctp.description as TicketType
[Code] .....
If I run each SELECT individually from above (excluding the last SELECT), it works and I get the following:
TicketType AR Request Credit Availability/Rush Cancel Order Credit Card Payment Expedite Order Freight Quote
[Code] ...
How to get the query results? Am I even close to getting it right?
hai guys, i have written a stored procedure which creates a table ex: USE PUBS GO IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM SYSOBJECTS WHERE NAME = 'RC_STRPROC') DROP PROCEDURE RC_STRPROC GO USE PUBS GO CREATE PROCEDURE RC_STRPROC (@TBLNAME VARCHAR(35), @COLVAL1 VARCHAR(35), @COLVAL2 VARCHAR(35)) AS IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM SYSOBJECTS WHERE NAME = '@TBLNAME') DROP TABLE @TBLNAME CREATE TABLE @TBLNAME (@COLVAL1, @COLVAL2) GO it gives an syntax error at '@tblname' can u guys tell me the problem
I have the below function which errors out telling me "Invalid use of 'getdate' within a function." I can run it as sql but not as a function, is there an issue with using getdate() in a function?

The date field is nullable, and the records in the database are currently null. But when I run this program, I get the following exception when using version 1.2 of the MS JDBC Driver:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The conversion from int to DATE is unsupported. at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.ServerDTVImpl.getValue(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.DTV.getValue(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.Column.getValue(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.Column.getValue(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerResultSet.getDate(Unknown Source) at com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerResultSet.getDate(Unknown Source) at jdbc.main(jdbc.java:38) Exception in thread "main"
This started happening when we upgraded to the new driver. Any ideas why?
I currently have SQL2005 Std, using 2 separate domain accounts for both SQL server and SQL agent. When accessing the MSDB stored packages folder from mgmt studio, I get the following error:
Client unable to establish connection. Encryption not supported on SQL server.
I did google for this error, but have tried all suggestions, including updating the MsDtsSvr.ini.xml file with the servername. I am using a default instance.
Also, I am only able to access the MSDB folder if I set the SQL service account to the local admin account. I have also set the SQL service account to be part of the local admins group, but without any luck.
I'm using some files to show certain pages on certain date for an example
File name : aa.doc start date: 10/02/00 end date : 10/03/00
But it expires on 10/02/00, here is the strored procedure:
Before the date comes, it expires the page Here is my stored procedure:
" SELECT startdate, enddate,archivedate and (startdate is null or (getdate() >= startdate and getdate() <= enddate)) and (archivedate is null or (getdate() <= archivedate)) group by startdate, enddate order by startdate desc "
I have just started learning SSIS. I have created a new package which is as follows :
SOURCE QUERY ----> Derived Column ------> Destination Customer Info
Source Fields are FirstName LastName OrgCode Phone Ref1
The Derived column is adding a new Column name FullName and the friendly expression for it is FirstName + "Null" + LastName
Destination has all the columns are same as source columns with similar datatypes.
When i start the debugging process i get the following error:
[Destination - CustomerInfo [29]] Error: Column "FullName" cannot be found at the datasource. [Destination - CustomerInfo [29]] Error: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Destination - CustomerInfo" (29) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
[Derived Column [192]] Error: Converting an input column from type DT_STR to type DT_WSTR failed. An error occurred while performing the implicit conversion on the input column.
But I don really understand y there is a attempt to type cast at all ?
Hi all€”Given a date field called [Reading Date] and a time field called [Reading Time], I am attempting to use the following transformation on the field to test for nulls and combine the data into a single field called [Reading Date/Time]:
Error at Data Flow Task [Derived Column1[177]]: Attempt to parse the expression "(DT_WSTR)([Reading Date]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Date]) || (DT_WSTR)([Reading Time]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Time])? (DT_DBDATE)GETDATE() : (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],7,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],1,4) + " " + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],1,8))" failed. The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element. It might not be well-formed or might be missing part of a required element such as a parenthesis.
Here is a sample [Reading Date]: 05/07/08
Here is a sample [Reading Time]: 19:45:48
I need to be able to handle exceptions if one or both contain NULL or no data at all. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I have a package that fails as soon as it hits the first Data Flow that contains a Derived Column task. The task takes three date columns and looks for a date of 6/6/2079. If it is there, it is replaced with a NULL. This task worked fine until I installed the Non-CTP version of SQL 2005 SP1, earlier today. (I went from RTM 9.0.1399 to SP1 9.0.2047)Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is the error I am trapping:
An error occurred while evaluating the function.
The "component "Update Max Date Value to NULL" (346)" failed because error code 0xC0049067 occurred, and the error row disposition on "input column "WeekEndingDate" (455)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
The ProcessInput method on component "Update Max Date Value to NULL" (346) failed with error code 0xC0209029. The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running.
Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0209029.
I tried to configure the error output to ignore the failure. The task succeeded. It did not insert anything, however, for the three columns in question. It then failed on the next Data Flow that contained a Derived Column task. I tried to pre-populate the columns with a default date, but no go. Any help would be appreciated.
I have created a program that imports a csv into the sql server. but during that import I need to track all the errors that occured for some malformed rows. I think I need to use the error output collection of the dataflow components to track the errors. I figured out that every dataflow component has a error output collection along with the data output collection. I want to write those error outputs into a separete database. So, I have created a SQL server data destination component and created a path between derived columns error output and it input collection. But it is not working as expected. can any body help on this?
or can anyone give me any example how to use/handle error output collection in SSIS?
Trying to use WMI to monitor a SQLExpress DB and not getting anywhere. In fact, wmiprvse.exe croaks.
Here's the query I'm running from within CIM Studio: select * from Win32_PerfRawData_MSSQLSQLEXPRESS_MSSQLSQLEXPRESSDatabases
(Just did a search for SQL and found this class)
When trying to get an instance, WMIPRVSE throws this exception: The exception unknown software exception (0xc000000d) occurred int he application at location 0x7814454d.
Ok to that, then another msgBox shows up with a title of
"Multiview Message" and text as below: Win32: The remote procedure call failed. An error occurred while attempting to retrieve the list of objects.
Any suggestions on this would be appreciated. Or perhaps another WMI class to use?
(XP Pro SP2, current with the patches; SQLExpress and MSDE both running)
how to declare multiple derived columns in SSIS Derived Column Task in one attempt.as i have around 150 columns coming from Flat file. I had created the required Expression in Excel and now i want add those in derived column task but its allowing only 1 expression at a time.
Case: Exporting Report to PDF/Printing/TIFF Report: Contains 1 table with 19 Columns. 1 column is static, the other 18 are visible at the users descretion. Report when printed/exported to pdf spans 2 pages naturally, 16 on the first page, 3 on the second, and the column widths have been adjusted to provide a perfect page span .
User A elects to hide two of the columns, and show the rest. The report complies and the viewable version is perfect, the excel export is perfect.. the PDF export on the first page causes every fith column, starting with the last column that was hidden to be expanded to take up additional width. On the spanned page, it renders the first column on that page correctly, then there is a white space gap equal to the width of the hidden columns and then the rest of the cells show with the last column expanded to take up the same width that the original 2 columns were going to take up, plus its width.
We have tried several different settings to see if it helps this issue or makes it worse. So far cangrow/canshrink/keep together have made no impact. It is not possible to increase the page size due to limited page size selection availablility for the client. There are far too many combinations of what the user can elect to show or hide to put together different tables to show and hide on the same report to remove this effect.
Any help or suggestion on this issue would be appreciated
