How Does Excel Source Component Determine Datatypes?
Nov 11, 2007
I am trying to figure out how the Excel source component determines that a column in an Excel sheet is a datatype of float when there is no data in the sheet, only column headers.
I created a package and dragged an 'Execute Sql task' from the toolbox onto the control flow. I made the ConnectionType = 'Excel' and then Connection = 'New Connection' and used the dialog to specify a path and also checked the 'First row has column names' box. In the SqlStatement I put the following:
create table `Tab1`
(Id integer
,Description nvarchar(255)
)
Then I ran the package and it sucessfully created the workbook and the 'Tab1' worksheet.
Now I create a new package and I drag a 'Data Flow Task' from the toolbox onto the control flow. I edit the Data flow task and drag an 'Excel Source' onto the 'Data Flow'. I edit the 'Excel Source' component and click the 'New Connection' button and I browse to the workbook file I created above. In the 'Name of excel sheet' drop down, I select 'Tab1' and click OK. Now when I open the Advanced Editor for the 'Excel Source' and then click on the 'Input and Output Properties' tab, I expand the 'Excel Source Output' node. Then I select the 'External columns' and I select the 'Id' column and I see that the datatype is 'double-precision float'.
I am wondering how SSIS knows that it is a float even though there is as yet no data in the table only the column headers. There does not appear to be any numeric formatting either. Interestingly, if I close the Advanced Editor and then open the workbook and I merely click the 'Save' button without having made any change, then if I again look in the Advanced Editor, it now prompts me that the datatype of the 'Id' column has changed. It seems that the datatype has changed to Unicode string. Can anyone explain why this happens? Why did simply clicking the 'Save' button in the excel sheet cause the datatype to change from float to string. What actually changed in the worksheet? I am using Excel 2003, SQL Server 2005 SP2 and Visual Studio 2003 Pro SP1. Thanks for any insight into this.

Hello.
I'm importing some data from an excel file to sql server 2005.
I created an Excel Data Source inside my Data Flow Task but it is assuming that the source columns DataType is double-precision float [DT_R8]. It isn't, even though some rows may containg numeric string in the column's cell.
If I go to the Data Sources advanded editor, and modify the data type property of the column, SSIS complains the the error output and the source output are not of the same DataType. If I try to change the error output's data type in the advanced editor I get this error: "Property Value". The deailed error states:
Error at MOVIM 04 [MOVIM 04 [1]]: The data type for "output "Excel Source Error Output" (10)" cannot be modified in the error "output column "Agente Protector" (7662)".
Error at MOVIM 04 [MOVIM 04 [1]]: Failed to set property "DataType" on "output column "Agente Protector" (7662)".
If i let SSIS correct the error by itself, it changed the dource column back to double-precision float [DT_R8].
Is there any way to get arround this?
Thanks in advance,
Hugo Oliveira

Hello,
I have a problem with retreving a excel data through excel source component.
I have source component as Excel Source which will connect to my .xls sheet.
To retrieve the values from the sheet i am using a query as,
"SELECT F14,F3 FROM [Charac Defn & Assgnment$]"
The column F14 is not formatted so that the format of the cell is "General" I have a different type of values in the F14 column such as "PE","PES",15,20,20.00,8888.9999 etc..
While i click on preview button of Excel source it shows only the text values and not the int or decimal values, its returning NULL for those cells. I tried to use convert function, its throwing an error as
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
There was an error displaying the preview.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Undefined function 'Convert' in expression. (Microsoft JET Database Engine)
Is there any other function to change the format of the cell or i need to some thing else
Please help me how to solve this issue.

Hello,
I have a production machine and a developer machine with Ms SQL Server Management Studio I connected remotly to the integration services hosted in the production machine. Then I exported a package and then, when it was executed, I had the following error:
"the product level is insufficient for component excel source"
So I thought that it was because the excel file that I was trying to upload was in the developer machine, so I pointed the Excel Data Source to a shared folder but I still having the same error.
I have read another posts but I'm afraid because the conclusion is that I have to install the SSIS in the developer machine, I hope I misunderstood the solutions!!!
please help, thanks

Hi,
I have a package which reads an Access file from a folder. My connection manager to this file is .NET providers for OledbMicrosoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Package works from my computer. But when I execute it on the server as a SQL Agent job, I get
The component metadata for "component "DataReader Source" (1) could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed.
I copied the mdb file to a folder on the server which my packages have no problem reading data from.
My packages run under the same domain account as defined in proxies.
Appreciate a help.

So I have Excel Source in my dataflow - so I do a simple transform and try to save it to db and guess what - a freaking error message: Columns blahblah and BlahBlah cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode datatype. I cant figure this MS stuff out - why the heck is this data from excel unicode to begin with & I just dont feel it is right to always use the derived columns to convert datatypes when dealing with Excel data. Am I missing something again or is it another one of those MS gotchas?

I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table. A couple columns are coming in a double precision float, but some values have characters in them, but those values are coming out as null, even though I changed the datatype from float to unicode string. Any inputs on resolving this will be much appreciated.

I am trying to get the contents of the Excel Files dynamically and dumping into the SQL Database using SSIS. Through WMI Event Watcher, I could find when one or more Excel files dumped in a particular folder and using ForEach Loop Container I was able to take all the filenames and pass it through Variables. But at the same time in the Data Flow, I have to pass each Sheet of an Excel File to the Excel Source control and export the data to my SQL Database using OLEDB Destination.
For that I need to get the names of each sheets in an Excel File and pass it to the Excel Source Control through variables. But when I give Data Access Mode as "Table name or view name variable" and provide the variable name in that, then it is giving an error message as "A destination table name has not been provided".
And at the same time, Since I was not able to provide an static Filename (as I am passing through Variables), when I tried to map the columns in the OleDB Destination, it is not allowing me to map the columns.
So all these things I should do at Run-time using Variables in SSIS. I don't want to hard-code any filenames or Sheet names. If any one of you have a solution, please share with me.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
I am creating an SSIS package witha a Dataflow task, which reads from an Excel source and then uses script component to dumpt the data to multiple tables in Sql Server database
I need to some how make my Excel source dynamic, that is my excel template which i would be using to map the excel columns to script component's input columns would be dynamic..
In other words, I should be able to define the Excel Source, Column Mapping Information, Precedence constraint to the Script component dynamically
Please suggest how could i accomplish this

While importing data from Excel source , some column is getting null value even though excel column has value.To Resolve the issue we tried with

1.Change the Value of the Row TypeGuessRows from 8 (Default value) to 0 and ImportMixedType = text
the connection string of the excel
UPPER(REVERSE(SUBSTRING( REVERSE(@[User::VarInputExcelFile]), 1, 5) ) ) == ".XLSX" ? "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + @[User::VarInputExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";":"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data

by doing the above setting also , the column is coming as null from excel source even though there is data in excel.

Hi,
I have an XML data file and an associated XSD file with properly defined datatypes. However, the datatype of all the data elements are always "string" datatype. For example, in my current xml file, all the data elements are of Decimal datatype which is properly defined in XSD file. However, datatype of all the output columns are of string datatype.
Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a problem of performance with my XML source component. In my XSD file, I have over 300 outputs, for each output of the XML component I generate a Row file (so I generate 300 Row File in the same Data Flow) that I integrate into a table in another Data Flow. When I debug just the data flow of the XML source, it takes much time over 10 hours and the XML source component keeps a yellow color, and it generate empty Row Files, but when I interrupt the debug process it generates the right row files. For information I use a machine with 8 microprocessor and 4GO of Ram, and my XML file has 850KO. So my question is, how can I increase the performance of my package without splitting the XML file.
Thank you in advance

Any knowledge of an SSIS source pipeline component which reads the JSON, a data interchage format.
JSON looks pretty tempting for heavy data interchange (somewhat human read-able, name/value pairs + arrays, nesting, lighter weight than most xml serializiers), and if its gaining momentum, I should think a source component would follow on (most likely third party)

I need to iterate through a bunch of packages and replace the source component in all data flows with a different source component type. That much I've got figured out, but I'm wondering the best way to fix all the LineageID references downstream.
In figured there would be some helper classes to do that for you or something, but the best I could come up with so far is build a dictionary... the key being the LineageIDs from the source component I just deleted... the dictionary value being the corresponding new column's LineageID. Then I run the following code. Is there a better way?
Also, derived column transforms end up broken because the expression is still referencing the old LineageIDs, so I had to write a RefreshExpression function and run it on each input and output column downstream. That function replaces the Expression (which uses the LineageID) with the FriendlyExpression (which uses the column name). Also, I had to name the new source component the same name as the old so that two-part names (i.e. [My Source].[My Col]) in the derived column expressions would still be valid. There's got to be a better way! And I'm worried that derived column transform isn't going to be the only special case.
Any better way than the following?
Code Snippet
IDTSComponentMetaData90 rawSourceComponent = pipeline.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New();
rawSourceComponent.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.RawSource";
CManagedComponentWrapper inst = rawSourceComponent.Instantiate();
inst.ProvideComponentProperties();
inst.SetComponentProperty("FileName", sRawFilePath);
inst.AcquireConnections(null);
inst.ReinitializeMetaData();
inst.ReleaseConnections();
IDTSPath90 path = pipeline.PathCollection.New();
path.AttachPathAndPropagateNotifications(rawSourceComponent.OutputCollection[0], input);
//fix all lineageIDs and other lineageID-dependent properties
foreach (IDTSComponentMetaData90 componentToFix in pipeline.ComponentMetaDataCollection)
{
foreach (IDTSInput90 inputToFix in componentToFix.InputCollection)
{
foreach (IDTSInputColumn90 inputCol in inputToFix.InputColumnCollection)
{
if (lineageIdReplacements.ContainsKey(inputCol.LineageID))
{
inputCol.LineageID = lineageIdReplacements[inputCol.LineageID];
RefreshExpression(inputCol);
}
}
}
foreach (IDTSOutput90 outputToFix in componentToFix.OutputCollection)
{
foreach (IDTSOutputColumn90 outputCol in outputToFix.OutputColumnCollection)
{
RefreshExpression(outputCol);
}
}
}
and RefreshExpression looks like:
private static void RefreshExpression(IDTSInputColumn90 inputCol)
{
IDTSCustomProperty90 friendlyExpression = null;
IDTSCustomProperty90 expression = null;
foreach (IDTSCustomProperty90 prop in inputCol.CustomPropertyCollection)
{
if (prop.Name == "FriendlyExpression")
friendlyExpression = prop;
else if (prop.Name == "Expression")
expression = prop;
}
if (friendlyExpression != null && expression != null)
{
expression.Value = friendlyExpression.Value;
}
}

While working on a recent project, I needed to import a number of old mainframe generated text reports. Since they didn't work on the one-record/one-row construct, the Flat File Source won't work.
So, I created a custom component that allows you to specify a Regular Expression pattern, and it will parse a text file and return columns. Each capture in the RegEx pattern is returned as a column, and you can also specify column names in the regex with the standard (?<colname>) syntax. The code is fairly basic really, but if you are comfortable with regular expression syntax, it can handle a huge variety of unusual text file formats. It also includes a UI editor for the RegEx pattern property that will allow you to test the pattern against a sample text file; it will highlight each row in blue and each column in green (see screenshot)
Since this might have applications for other folks, I added it to SourceForge under GPL. So if you might find that functionality useful, please check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/textregexsource/ and send me some feedback. There isn't much there yet, so check out the screenshots/news/release notes for the basics.
If there is demand, I'll create a more robust install package and documentation. Also looking for feature suggestions.
Cheers...Geof

Hi,
I am using XML source component to integrate an xml file into an sql server data base. So for this I have tried to test only this XML component with a small XML file (43 KO) and its XSD (434KO) (not generated using XML component), so my package contain a dataflow with only the XML source component. When I execute the package, in the progress window I get:
1- Validation step 100%, (generate warning, because the outputs are not used)
2-Preparation of execution step 100%
3-Excution step
But when the "Execution step" starts it does not stop and it does not fail, so the XML component keeps the yellow color indifinely and it generate temporary file in "Temp" repository.
I run this package in a box with SQL server 2005 SP2 with, 8 Processor and 4GO of RAM.
So is there any solution or explication for this problem. Is it a limit of SSIS? , and how can I increase the SSIS RAM.
I also generated an XSD file using the XML component, but I get the same problem.
Thank you in advance

A colleague of mine has discovered some behaviour in the XML Source component that I am having trouble understanding or explaining. Here is the (obfuscated) XML document that we are looking to parse:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

When we use the 'Generate XSD...' button it comes up with the following schema:

I'd like to draw your attention to the bit I've highlighted in red. SSIS has incorrectly defined this attribute as an unsignedLong. if you look at the data above you'll see that it has leading zeros therefore we need it to be interpreted as a string. Unfortunately (and here's the problem) there doesn't seem to be a way for us to change the generated xsd and thus refresh the external column metadata. The only way to change it is to go into the Advanced Editor and manually change the external column and output column metadata.
Is this by design? It seems very limiting if you ask me to not let us have control of what the metadata should be.
If I'm missing something please let me know.
Thanks

Hello Readers,

I have found this link: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms136060.aspx, where a SQLConnection is used:
Dim connMgr As IDTSConnectionManager90
Dim sqlConn As SqlConnection
Dim sqlReader As SqlDataReader

connMgr = Me.Connections.MyADONETConnection
sqlConn = CType(connMgr.AcquireConnection(Nothing), SqlConnection)

Does anyone know, which coding has to be used to be able to use AcquireConnection for an OLAP Connection manager?
Thanks in advice!

I am debugging a Data Flow task in my SSIS package. When I run the package in debug mode, one of the OLEDB Data Sources turns red. I have rerouted all Error Output to a flat file, and put a Data Viewer on that path: no rows get sent. When I click the Preview button on this component in Design mode, I see the expected data and get no error messages. The connection does a simple table access...no SQL command. I don't see anything different between this component and other OLEDB sources in the same package that don't trigger any errors. I've tried dropping and re-creating the component with the same results.
What else can I do to debug this?

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?

For the Custome source Component ErrorOutput, should I go for asynchronous / synchronous Output.
If i go for synchronous output
// Create the error output.
IDTSOutput90 errorOutput = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New();
errorOutput.IsErrorOut = true;
errorOutput.Name = "ErrorOutput";
errorOutput.SynchronousInputID = What Id is required here;
errorOutput.ExclusionGroup = 1;
Is it the IDTSOutput90 InPut.ID / OutPut.ID which should be assigned.
Thanks Regards

Hello,
I have an OLEDB Source component with a Oracle OLEDB connection manager.
In my SQL statement I must do something like this ...
SELECT * FROM OracleTable
WHERE convert(datetime, OracleDate) = parameter
I've dynamicaly build the statement like this : http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/12/09/2480.aspx
Unfortunately this doesn't work because the variable is a datetime value and not a string.
Maybe another way is to store the date in a table in my SQL database and include it in my Oracle SQL statement ? This would mean that there are multiple connection managers being used in one SQL statement ... I have no idea if this would be possible ...
Any other options ?

I'm wondering if it is possible to create a flat file source on the fly while bypassing the following step:
On the Connection Managers page, add or create the Flat File connection manager, using a descriptive name such as MyFlatFileSrcConnectionManager. Then close the Script Transformation Editor.
I want to create the connection totally in script, yet i'm having a hard time proving this out...does anybody have any
experience with this?

Can someone please point me to one or more examples of a Source component that has two or more outputs?
I wrote a source, which works with a single output, but after adding a second output, I see no rows there. I've single-stepped the code in the debugger, and it looks like it should be adding rows to the second output, but the downstream component never sees any.

Does anyone know how to create a Source Script Component programmatically. I can only seem to create a Transformation Script Component. I have this:
PipeLineWrapper.IDTSComponentMetaData90 sourceComponent =
((dataflowTask as TaskHost).InnerObject as PipeLineWrapper.MainPipe).ComponentMetaDataCollection.New();
sourceComponent.ComponentClassID = app.PipelineComponentInfos["Script Component"].CreationName;
Is there anything I have to do extra to make it a source script component, seeing how it defaults to a transformation.

I have a Data Flow Task. I have one "OLE DB Source" which gets my data from a SQL Server Database. I have a second "OLE DB Source" which uses DATEADD to derive a date qualifier that I would like to use as a date qualifier in my subsequent Excel spreadsheet...opting to use SQL Server and DATEADD rather than messing around with VB syntax to get the previous week date qualifier.I am trying to connect the flow from one OLE DB Source to the next OLE DB Source and get the error..Component OLE DB Source has no inputs, or all of its inputs are already connected to other outputs. You may be able to edit the component to add new inputs to it.Can't I connect two completely different and independent SQL Server queries using "OLE DB Source" within my Data Flow?
Is there any way to store my derived date from my second "OLE DB Source" to a variable so that I cana then use that as my date qualifier within my Excel destination?

Synopsis:
Attempting to create a data flow task to copy data from AS/400 (DB2) to SQL2005, using an existing System DSN ODBC connection defined on the SQL2005 host.
Problem:
When adding the DataReader Source component to the package, I cannot assign the Connection Manager. Designer issues the error message:
"The runtime connection manager with the ID "" cannot be found. Verify that the connection manager collection has a connection manager with that ID."
Editing the DataReaderSrc component shows only one row under the Connection Managers tab:
Name=IDbConnection
Connection Manager=blank
Description=Managed connection manager
The datareadersrc component editor displays the warning message: "Not all connection managers have been set. Set all connection managers.". Clicking the Refresh button causes the error message to be displayed "The runtime connection manager with the ID "" cannot be found. Verify that the connection manager collection has a connection manager with that ID."
I am prevented from assigning my Connection Manager object the DataReaderSrc.
The package already contains one Connect Manager object:
Provider: .Net Providers/Odbc Data Provider
System DSN
Test Connection operation succeeds
Any help would be appreciated.
Fraser.
