How Do I Order Columns In My Custom Destination Component?
Nov 17, 2006
Here is the situation. I have created a package that takes 50 columns from a comma delimited flat file. I then validate and clean the data. Next I add two columns that were not in the original source file. These two columns need to be in the 5th and 9th column position when the file is then re-written to a text file. How do i get those two columns to write out in the desired order? Any ideas?

I am writing a custom dataflow destination that writes data to a named pipe server running in an external process. At runtime, in PreExecute, I check to see if the pipe exists. If it does not exist I want to be able to fail the component and gracefully complete execution of my package.
Question is, how do I do this? If I make a call to ComponentMetaData.FireError() that will only create an OnError event and not actually stop the execution. So, how to I halt the execution of my component and return the error message?
Thanks,
~ Gary

Hi there,
I am writing a Custom Destination component with a custom UI. The UI contains a combo box which contains the connection names of type €œFLATFILE€?. I also have provided a button which would create a new connection of type €œFLATFILE€? by making a call to CreateConnection method of IDtsConnectionService.
The combo box gets properly updated showing the connections of type €œFLATFILE€? but on clicking on the new Connection button the application hangs up.
Am I missing something or is there some other way to do it?
The function are the events handlers which are called by the UI.
void form_GetConnections(object sender, AvailableColumnsArgs args)
{
Debug.Assert(this.ServiceProvider != null, "Service Provider not valid.");
this.ClearErrors();
try
{
IDtsConnectionService connectionService = (IDtsConnectionService)this.ServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(IDtsConnectionService));
if (connectionService != null)
{
ArrayList temp_Connections =
connectionService.GetConnectionsOfType("FLATFILE");
args.AvailableColumns = new AvailableColumnElement[temp_Connections.Count];
for (int i = 0; i < temp_Connections.Count; i++)
{
ConnectionManager runtimeConnection = (ConnectionManager)temp_Connections;
args.AvailableColumns.AvailableColumn = new DataFlowElement(runtimeConnection.Name, runtimeConnection);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
this.ReportErrors(ex);
}
}
void form_GetNewConnection(object sender, AvailableColumnsArgs args)
{
Debug.Assert(this.ServiceProvider != null, "Service Provider not valid.");
this.ClearErrors();
try
{
IDtsConnectionService connectionService = (IDtsConnectionService)this.ServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(IDtsConnectionService));
if (connectionService != null)
{
connectionService.CreateConnection("FLATFILE");
ArrayList temp_Connections =
connectionService.GetConnectionsOfType("FLATFILE");
args.AvailableColumns = new AvailableColumnElement[temp_Connections.Count];
for (int i = 0; i < temp_Connections.Count; i++)
{
ConnectionManager runtimeConnection = (ConnectionManager)temp_Connections;
args.AvailableColumns.AvailableColumn = new DataFlowElement(runtimeConnection.Name, runtimeConnection);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
this.ReportErrors(ex);
}
}
Has anyone else run into this?
I am running
SQL 2005 9.0.1399 and VS 2005 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.50727.4200) on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
The code sample is an extension to the RemoveDuplicates sample (Dec 2005) which comes along with the SQL Server.
TIA,
Robinson

Hi,
All the examples I've seen for creating custom data destinations (scripts or components) show that in the ProcessInput method you need to iterate through each record and execute a commit for each row. Here's a sample from http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?siteid=1&postid=70469
Public Overrides Sub MyAddressInput_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As MyAddressInputBuffer)
With sqlCmd
.Parameters("@addressid").Value = Row.AddressID
.Parameters("@city").Value = Row.City
.ExecuteNonQuery()
End With
End Sub
This works for me but is extremely slow when processing lots of rows. Has anyone come across a better/faster example for committing rows to a database when creating a custom data destination component? I was thinking about using the ADO.NET batch update. Any thoughts on this or other approaches?
Thanks,
Mike Fulkerson

I wrote a custom destination component. Everything works fine, except there is a logging message that is displayed that I cannot get rid of or correct. Here is the end of the output of a package containing my component:
Information: 0x40043009 at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: Cleanup phase is beginning.
Information: 0x0 at Data Flow Task, MyDestination: Inserted 40315 rows into C: empfile.txt
Information: 0x4004300B at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: "component "MyDestination" (9)" wrote 0 rows.
SSIS package "Package.dtsx" finished: Success.
I inserted a custom information message that contains the correct number of rows written by the component. I would like to either get rid of the last message "... wrote 0 rows", or figure out what to set to put the correct number of rows into that message.
This message seems to happen in the Cleanup phase. It appears whether I override the Cleanup method of the Pipeline component and do nothing, or not. Any ideas?
public override void Cleanup()
{
ComponentMetaData.FireInformation(0, ComponentMetaData.Name,
"Inserted " + m_rowCount.ToString() + " rows into " + m_fileName,
"", 0, ref m_cancel);
base.Cleanup(); // or not
}

I need to create a number of flat files, all with the same layout and sourced from the the same table, but with different criteria.
The first set of (three) flat files file is created out of a simple Conditional Split transformation: If Source Table row number > 40,000 route to File 3; if row number > 20,000, route to file 2, otherwise route to file 1. This gives me 20,000 rows in files 1 & 2 and the remainder in file 3.
I also want to create a fourth flat file by joining the Source Table with a sample table and selecting only those rows where the Customer numbers match. I'm currently doing this in two stages: An Execute SQL Task performs the join and inserts the selected rows into a Destination table (identical layout to source table), and then a simple data flow moves the rows from the Destination table into the fourth flat file.
My problem is that the order of the columns in the first three flat files is different from the fourth file. I've tried creating the fourth flat file with a single data flow using a Merge Join transformation which didn't work because the tables aren't sorted in the correct sequence, and I couldn't get an OLE DB Command transformation to work either.
I'm not sure why the column order of the 4th file should be different seeing as how its contents are sourced from the same Source table, but is there a cunning way of setting this up so that the columns end up in the same order?

I'm having a tad bit of trouble getting output from an asynchronous component that I've written and am looking for some insight.
This component takes in a name string passed from upstream and parses the name components into standardized output fields. I'm using an asynchronous component because if the name string contains two names ("Fred & Wilma Flintstone") I'm outputting one row for Fred and one for Wilma. I've gotten it to run and with debugging have observed what appeared to me to be proper execution, but zero rows are flowing out of it.
In my ProvideComponentProperties method, I add the three fields and there associated metadata to the OutputColumnCollection. Is this method where this should occur? It's before the PrimeOutput method, so I didn't know if I should be creating the output columns in ProcessInput (i.e., after the output buffer is provided by PrimeOutput.)
In ProcessInput, I'm using AddRow for each input row and another if it contains a second name, setting the value for each index using the buffer's SetString method, to no avail. I can observe it to this point, but then don't know what's in that output buffer (if I'm using the wrong buffer index value, etc)
Thanks.

I'm trying to create a fairly simple custom transform component (because I've read that's the easiest one to create) which will take one column from a flat file source and based on the first row create the output columns.
I'm actually trying to write a component that will solve the now well known problem with parsing CSV files in SSIS. I have a lot of source files and all have many columns so a component that can read in the first line from the CSV file and create the output columns automatically will save me lots of time when migrating the old DTS packages.
I have the basic component set up but I'm stuck when trying to override the OnInputPathAttached method because I don't know how to use the inputID to get the first line from the input (the buffer).
Are there any good examples for creating output columns dynamically based on the input buffer?
Should I just give up on on the transform and create a custom source component instead?

Hi all
I'm into a project which uses a lot of views for joining 2 or more tables. Using the MERGE component in SSIS will be a huge effort coz it only has 2 inputs and I gotta SORT the input too.
Isnt it possible to have a VIEW like component that joins more than 2 tables and DOESNT need sorting??
(I've thought about creating views in database engine but it breaks my data floe in SSIS and is'nt a practical solution)

I am writing a custom dataflow transformation component and I need to get the name of the preceeding component.
I have been trying to find a way to get a reference to the Package object, MainPipe object or IDTSPath90 object (connecting to the IDTSInput90 of my component) from my component because I think from there I can get to the information I want.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
I've created a Custom Data Flow Component and added some Custom Properties.
I want the user to set the contents using an expression. I did some research and come up with the folowing:
Code Snippet
IDTSCustomProperty90 SourceTableProperty = ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertyCollection.New();
SourceTableProperty.ExpressionType = DTSCustomPropertyExpressionType.CPET_NOTIFY;
SourceTableProperty.Name = "SourceTable";
But it doesn't work, if I enter @[System:ackageName] in the field. It comes out "@[System:ackageName]" instead of the actual package name.
I'm also unable to find how I can tell the designer to show the Expression editor. I would like to see the elipses (...) next to my field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Hi,
I'm trying to enable Expression for a custom property in my custom data flow component.
Here is the code I wrote to declare the custom property:
public override void ProvideComponentProperties()
{
ComponentMetaData.RuntimeConnectionCollection.RemoveAll();
RemoveAllInputsOutputsAndCustomProperties();
IDTSCustomProperty90 prop = ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertyCollection.New();
prop.Name = "MyProperty";
prop.Description = "My property description";
prop.Value = string.Empty;
prop.ExpressionType = DTSCustomPropertyExpressionType.CPET_NOTIFY;
...
}
In design mode, I can assign an expression to my custom property, but it get evaluated in design mode and not in runtime
Here is my expression (a file name based on a date contained in a user variable):
"DB" + (DT_WSTR, 4)YEAR( @[User::varCurrentDate] ) + RIGHT( "0" + (DT_WSTR, 2)MONTH( @[User::varCurrentDate] ), 2 ) + "\" + (DT_WSTR, 4)YEAR( @[User::varCurrentDate] ) + RIGHT( "0" + (DT_WSTR, 2)MONTH( @[User::varCurrentDate] ), 2 ) + ".VER"
@[User::varCurrentDate] is a DateTime variable and is assign to 0 at design time
So the expression is evaluated as: "DB189912189912.VER".
My package contains 2 data flow.
At runtime,
The first one is responsible to set a valid date in @[User::varCurrentDate] variable. (the date is 2007-01-15)
The second one contains my custom data flow component with my custom property that was set to an expression at design time
When my component get executed, my custom property value is still "DB189912189912.VER" and I expected "DB200701200701.VER"
Any idea ?

when loading the transformed data into OLE DB destination, there is no options to truncate destination table first. Have to insert a middle step to run script to truncate the destination table first.
I'm very confused. We even has the options of keeping or deleting the data in destination table in SQL2000 DTS package. Why we don't have this option in SQL2005??

Hello, I am trying to create a simple package programmatically. I am following the examples in the BOL, and from some advice here. I am getting stuck at creating an Excel Destination and setting its sheetname. Everything works fine, including setting the output Excel filename.

I want to do the following in a package:
Create a table at the beginning of a package (using a ExecuteSQLTask component) and then use the created table as a OLE DB destination component, later on the package.
Is this possible in SSIS?
The problem I run into is that I have to point the OLE DB destination component to a table and set up mappings, however as the table does not exist until the package is running, it does not seem to be possible.
I've looked at:
http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2006/11/19/SSIS_3A00_-Using-temporary-tables.aspx
Which is slightly similar to what I want, but the table I create would not be a temp tables, and I need to set up mappings and I don't see how this is possible.
Thanks

Hi All,
I have built a custom flat file destination adapter but it appears that the code is not working. When I debug the process I notice that the ProcessInput section is called multiple times. The first time it looks like everything is working, then it call it again and there is no inpout from the DTSInput90.
Why would it do this?
Thanks

I have an SSIS package that produces an Excel output file say File1
The Excel output file is created from a previous script task by copying a standard excel template to File1
after the copy, File1 has the disclaimer, legend etc... and a header row at row 10.
So data rows should only start at row 11.
I was googling and found that people who read Excel file using an Excel source component have been successful reading
from a range by the use of the OPENROWSET property. It is said to set this property to Sheet1$A5-B999
to start reading from row 5.
I tried to set the OPENROWSET property to be Sheet1$A11-B999 but am getting an error "Check that object exists"
(Sheet1 does exist) So I guess it is the range that has an improper syntax or something else is wrong.
Please advise. Thanks

Is there a default destination component used when a new data flow is created? The reason I ask is simply curiosity. I have an xml file with 2 pieces of data: item A and item B. A should simply get copied out of the file. B should undergo a quick transform. I set up an XML source such that two columns are mapped correctly to the XML source data of A and B. I set up my data transform task as well. So, if I leave those two components on the .dtsx page with no other components, then will there be a default data flow destination already created? ...OR, do you always have to have a destination component?
Thanks for the input. I am just curious.

Hi
I am writing a custom transformation component that utilises a user variable.
Before using the variable at run time I am checking that the variable exists, but it would be nice to be able to add it if it does not. I cannot find any documentation on the subject, though I can see that the Variables class is derived from a ReadOnlyCollectionBase.
Is there a way to add a user variable with package scope from a custom component, either at run time or design time?
Thanks . . . Ed

I've run into this a second time now. I'm hoping for some resolution AND guidance for proper build, save, etc. protocols in BIDS.
I've coded a custom component, included post-build procedures to add it to the GAC, selected it from the "Choose Items..." menu, and successfully added to a data flow. I've then been able to succesfully debug it.
This was all Friday afternoon. I shut down my BIDS session(s) and called it a week. This morning when I open BIDS, I get the following error when I attempt to add it to a data flow task:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio------------------------------The component could not be added to the Data Flow task.Could not initialize the component. There is a potential problem in the ProvideComponentProperties method.------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Error at Data Flow Task [DTS.Pipeline]: Component "component "" (16)" could not be created and returned error code 0x80131600. Make sure that the component is registered correctly.------------------------------Exception from HRESULT: 0xC0048021 (Microsoft.SqlServer.DTSPipelineWrap)------------------------------BUTTONS:OK------------------------------
What would explain this? I'm new to VS/BIDS. Am I improperly shutting down my BIDS sessions? Is a save required for my code? Does "Build <component>" not automatically save?
Also, when I re-build a component after making a change to it, what do I need to do in my package's Data Flow task? Delete the current component, re-add it, and configure it again? I'm sure there are certain things that require one type of re-initialization vs. others (i.e., making a change to the Design Time code vs. making a change to code within the ProcessInput method.)
What can I do to properly register this now? I'm dead in the water and have no idea what to do. Any help's appreciated.

Hi,I have developed a custom source component to get data from a generic odbc connection with some special caracteristics.
The component works fine by getting and mapping the output fields etc...
The only two problems existing are that when i run the task it says that the data flow has no components inside... how is this possible since i have my source mapped to a flat file inside that data flow?
This is the error:
SSIS package "BVEIT000D.dtsx" starting.
Warning: 0x80047034 at BVEIT000D_<EMPRESA> TXT, DTS.Pipeline: The DataFlow task has no components. Add components or remove the task.
Information: 0x4004300C at BVEIT000D_<EMPRESA> TXT, DTS.Pipeline: Execute phase is beginning.
SSIS package "BVEIT000D.dtsx" finished: Success.
The other problem is that if i want to <ignore> a certain source column the component already shows me an error saying that the no column with ID 0 was found...
Any one with experience in creating custom components?

Hi huys,
can you tell me how you create a MSI file for your custom component.
basically i've created a SSIS custom component, and i want to distiribute among a few people, i guess instead of providing step by step instructions it would be easy if they just clicked on packaged msi file.
i've seen many people putting their custom components on the web as MSI, how do you do it?

Does anyone know how to get destination coulmns to show up in the advanced editor for a custom component? I have a custom flat file destination component that builds the output based on a specific layout. It works as long as the upstream column names match my output names. What I want is to allow non-matching columns to be mapped by the user as they can in a stock flat file destination. The closest that I have been able to come is to get the "column mappings" tab to show up and populate the "Available Input Columns" by setting ExternalmetadataColumnCollection.IsUsed to true on the input. The problem is that the "Available destination columns" box is always empty. I have tried the IsUsed property on the output and pretty much every other property that I could find. On the Input and Output properties all of my columns show up under the output as both External and Output columns. Is there a separate collection for "destination" columns that I can't find? It's getting a little frustrating, is this something that can be done or do I have to write a custom UI to make it happen?
Thanks!

I've been trying to figure this out on my own for pretty much all of today, and part of last week. I've downloaded samples, searched this forum, blogs, etc. So I figured I would post, since it's the end of the day, and I'm not much further along.
I'm working on a custom transformation component, whose main function is to use SQL encryption/decryption to encrypt/decrypt data from the input columns, into the output columns. The component needs two strings, a key name and a certificate name, as well as the connection manager it should use to connect to SQL which will do the encryption/decryption.
Here's where I'm stuck:
1) How can I provide the key/certificate names via properties? What I'm expecting/looking for is a way to add these two properties at the component-level, which would show up under the "Custom Properties" section of the properties pane (currently, this only has one property, "UserComponentTypeName"). These key/certificate values will be used for all input columns.
2) How do I access the connection managers from within the component? What is the best way to go about using a connection manager from within my component to connect to SQL and perform the encryption/decryption? In a custom task, this was fairly simple, but it seems that same concept won't work on a transformation component.
3) Is there a better way to go about accomplishing this (column encryption via SQL from within SSIS)? Am I going about this all wrong?
As I said, I've searched for direction, but there seems to be next to nothing in the regards of a good reference for creating custom transformation components. I've looked at two MS samples, but can't seem to make any sense out of them.
Thanks in advance.

Hello.
I want to test my custom component with unit tests and i thought i must only initilize the component to play around with it. But when i calling the ProviderComponentProperties method and there the RemoveAllInputsOutputsAndCustomProperties method a NullReference exception is thrown. After debugging the test i had seen that the ComponentMetaData of the component is null. Is there a way to initilize the ComponentMetaData?
The Code of the Component looks like this:
Code Block
[DtsPipelineComponent(
DisplayName = "TestSourceAdapter",
ComponentType = ComponentType.SourceAdapter,
IconResource = "TestSourceAdapter.TestSourceAdapter.ico"
)]
public class TestSourceAdapter: PipelineComponent
{
public override void ProvideComponentProperties()
{
RemoveAllInputsOutputsAndCustomProperties();
IDTSOutput90 output = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New();
output.Name = "TestSourceAdapter";
ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection
["TestSourceAdapter"].ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.IsUsed = true;
ComponentMetaData.ValidateExternalMetadata = false;
ComponentMetaData.UsesDispositions = true;
ComponentMetaData.Name = "TestSourceAdapter";
ComponentMetaData.Description = "TestSourceAdapter";
ReinitializeMetaData();
}
...
}
And in test i call only this
Code Block
TestSourceAdapter testAdapter = new TestSourceAdapter();
_testAdapter.ProvideComponentProperties();
i hope anyone can help

This is my ProvideComponentProperties:
Code Snippet
public override void ProvideComponentProperties()
{
RemoveAllInputsOutputsAndCustomProperties();
ComponentMetaData.UsesDispositions = true;
IDTSInput90 input = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.New();
input.Name = "Staging Data";
input.ErrorRowDisposition = DTSRowDisposition.RD_FailComponent;
IDTSInput90 input2 = ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.New();
input2.Name = "Replica Data";
input2.ErrorRowDisposition = DTSRowDisposition.RD_FailComponent;
// Add the output
IDTSOutput90 output = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New();
output.Name = "Replica Output";
output.SynchronousInputID = input.ID;
output.ExclusionGroup = 1;
// Add the error output
AddErrorOutput("StagingErrorOutput", input.ID, output.ExclusionGroup);
// Adds columns
AddXmlColumn();
IDTSOutputColumn90 column0 = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[1].OutputColumnCollection.New();
column0.Name = m_SyncStatusColumnName;
column0.SetDataTypeProperties(DataType.DT_STR, 1, 0, 0, 1252);
IDTSOutputColumn90 column1 = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[2].OutputColumnCollection.New();
column1.Name = m_AS400ImportedDateColumnName;
column1.SetDataTypeProperties(DataType.DT_DATE, 0, 0, 0, 0);
}
Since I'm new to SSIS I'm following Josh's SSIS Xmlify Data Flow Task sample.
Thanks.
