How To Set Record Lenght For The Flatfiles In SSIS
Aug 27, 2007
I am trying to transfer the data from OLEDB source to Flatfile destination. My Client need the flatfile of Record Length 80 Bytes. What does this means? Does it mean the output width or does it mean the flatfile format should be fixed length? please explain?
My Input is a flat file source and it has spaces in few columns in the data . These columns are linked to another table as a foreign key and when i try loading them in a relational structure Foreigh key violation is occuring , is there a standard method to replace these spaces .
what approach should i take so that data gets loaded in a relational structure.
for example
Name Age Salary Address dsds 23 fghghgh
Salary description level 2345 nnncncn 4
here salary is used in this example , the datatype is char in real scenario
what approach should i take to load the data in with cleansing the spaces in ssis
I'm using Visual Studio 2005, and when i try to drop a table from a data source( SQL Mobile database), to a new or existing form, always occors the error ""lenght cannot be less than zero. Parameter name : lenght"" , my project has more than one forms. If i make the same steps on a new project with only one form, i can drop the same table without problems. Anyone can help with this problem?
I was testing my packages today and my packages were running sucessfully when I didnt have any valid data in the flat file. One the reason was as not rows were returned from the flat file none of the validation script components returned any err.
How do I count the # of rows which were read from flat file from the package and continue only if there is more than one row.
I tried using conditional split but as I wont have the row count value availble till the dataflow task runs this didnt help.
Is it best for me to have two dataflow tasks one resturns the count of records from flat file and the other starts if there are any rows. Now my problem is if I have rows to process how to I transfer the flatfile data to validate from DataFlowTask1 to DataFlowTask2?
I have a script task whcih counts the rows and decides to the TaskResult but once the TaskResult is sucess how do I use the values read in DataFlowTask1?
Can anyone help me in knowing how to migrate the flatfiles to MS-Access.I couldnt find the provider i need to use? Should i use the OLEDB destination or someother,Please help.
I am attempting to create a multi-record file (as described in my last thread) and have found the following set of instructions very helpful: http://vsteamsystemcentral.com/cs21/blogs/steve_fibich/archive/2007/09/25/multi-record-formated-flat-file-with-ssis.aspx
I have been able to create a sample file with two of my record types.
I now need to build on this further, because I have 9 record types in total that need to be extracted to a single flat file.
does anyone have any ideas how I might extend the example above to include more record types or know of another means of achieving this?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.
I've a simple question that I could not find an answere for.
When I do a select in sql server 2000 and 2005 the result from the table I am interrested in get's cut off in lenght so I do not get it all. It also gets cut off when I select the result to a file. The lenght of a row is 8000 and it gets cut of after maybe 100 or so.. but I need the enitre row.
Now I belive someone who is not here today made some configuration with exception on a few tables to speed things up.
I wonder, where I I add a table to such an exception list? (I was not here when they did it and not even sure if that's how they did it)
How do I make a configuration in my sql serve management studio 2005 to not have the result cut off?
I have one SSIS pkg when I executed this pkg I got following error message

I am using Flat file as a source & SQL 2005 as Destination.my flat file have "Tab" as a column delimiter and "{CR}-{LF}" as row delimiter and TEXT Qualifier is ["].
Advanced setting options for flatfiles were tried, but didn't work.
For solving this problem i am also using Script Component for column 58.
I am also geting more then 60 warnings of truncation
I use EXEC statement to execute query in NVARCHAR format. Query is constructed using WHILE loop. Lenght of parameter @query in limited on 4000 ch. But my parameter is longer. Data types ntext and text can't be used for parameters. Any idea?
Hello, I have 2 table, "table1" is the source one and the other one "table2" is the destination. Columns in Table1 and in Table2 are nvarchar(max). Data loaded from table1 is performed by SSIS OLEDB data flow source, I have found out that opening "Data flow Path Editor" in the Metadata, columns are as: DT_WSTR with lenght 4000.
First question: Why SSIS limit the column to 4000.
Then I get some error for this issue, with the error: input column "col1" (xxxx) and reference column named (coln) have incompatible data type.
As written before both columns are string, the problem is that SSIS limit the lenght of the string to 4000.
when I run this script on SQL Server Management Studio I get 50,000 records. If I run it in an SSIS package, it runs but I get 0 records returned. Why?
Please help.
Thanks,

Hello, I have an SSIS package that affects data in fourteen tables. This SSIS packge is supposed to insert, update, delete and apply various business rules to the data in the new database tabes in the same way that it occurs in the DTS package that affects the old tables in the former database.
After both the DTS packge and SSIS packages are run, the data in the fourteen tables from both databases need to mirror each other. I figure this is the best way that I can know that the new SSIS package is working correctly.
Is there something I can do in an SSIS package that can compare all of the tables between the two databases, record for record then (maybe as error output) produce output in the case where a mistmatch was detected between two given tables? Would a lookup transformation be helpful for this kind or thing, or should I think about doing it some other way?
The old database is on SQL Server 2000, and the new one on SQL Server 2005 64 bit. I've run into problems creating a linked server between the two to where I could just run queries to do this kind of check.
Can anyone help me figure out how to set up a new table using SSIS with a record field that will generate a unique number? The record number is also the primary key in the table. I did this about a year ago with a bit of help, but once you get the language right and initiate the creation, the text for defining the table is no longer available. I have seen a lot of references for MySQL and MS SQL 2000 and an AUTO_Generate or a UNIQUE ID. None of this works within MS SQL 2005 in SSIS.
I've just started looking at SSIS and have encountered what should hopefully be a simple problem to solve. I have a pipe-separated source file that looks like this (I've added Line numbers for simplicity):
In addition to a header and footer records, this file contains three record types for each person.
Record types are identified by the second column.
Each record type has a different number of columns:
Type 100 has 5 columns Type 200 has 4 columns Type 305 has 12 columns
The Row delimiter for all records is the {CR}{LF} character
I've set up a flat file input source and specified {CR}{LF} as the row delimiter for both header and data rows and the "|" character as the field delimiter.
It appears that SSIS is assuming that because the first data row has 5 columns, then everything must fit that format too. So the {CR}{LF} character that separates lines 02 and 03 is interpreted as text rather than a separation character and all remaining | field separators after 305 are interpreted as text containing in the fifth column. SSIS is also complaining that the last row is incomplete.
A bit like this (I've used tildes to indicate column separation):
I've seen one other reference to this behaviour but the response seemed to be SSIS doesn't know which columns are missing. In this scenario, we don't have missing columns, rather, we have different types of record in a single file. in DTS I would effectively parse the file once for each record type thus:
I am trying to load a file using SSIS that contains records with two different layouts in one data file but in the flat file connection I can only specify one layout and this is causing the records with the second layout to be loaded incorrectly.
The different record layouts can be identified by the first character of the record. Example: If Field begins with "A" then assign one layout; "B" assign second layout.
Has anybody come accross this issue, if so some guidence would be appreciated.
I have used the following useful article regarding exporting a multi-record file: http://vsteamsystemcentral.com/cs21/blogs/steve_fibich/archive/2007/09/25/multi-record-formated-flat-file-with-ssis.aspx
I have created the 9 datasources, ordering each on a field commmon to all.
I have created the required derived columns headers and have merged all the record types into a file.
The resulting file looks fine, except for the odd blank line between record types. Any ideas regarding cause and what to do to fix?
I am working on an SSIS project where I create two flat files for submission to a data contractor. This contractor requires a control record be the first line in the file. I create the control record based on the table information being exported.
What I would like to know is, is it possible to utilize the Header Section of the Flat File Destination Editor to insert the control record? And, as it is dynamic, what kind of coding must I do in order to utlise this functionality?
I've got a package in SSIS 2012 that has an Execute SQL task in the control flow level.
The SQL in question does an Upsert via the SQL merge statement. What I want to do, is return the count of records inserted and records updated (No deletes going on here to worry about). I'm using the output option to output the changed recs to a table variable.
I've tried returning the values as:
Select Count(*) as UpdateCount from @mergeOutput where Action = 'Update' and Select Count(*) as InsertCount from @mergeOutput where Action = 'Insert'
I've tried setting the resultset to both Single rowset and Full rowset, but i'm not seeing anything returned to the package variables I've set for them (intInsertcount and intUpdatecount).

I have created the 2 datasources, ordering each on a field commmon to both.
I have created the two derived columns headers and am now moving on to the merge.
It is failing with the following error: "the input is not sorted"
And whilst I definitely have an order by on the query, when I look at the metadata between the datasource and the derived column, the Sort Key Position items displays "0" for all my fields, I was expecting the sort field to have a "1" in this column. What am I missing?
I have a client who needs to copy an existing sale. The problem isthe Sale is made up of three tables: Sale, SaleEquipment, SaleParts.Each sale can have multiple pieces of equipment with correspondingparts, or parts without equipment. My problem in copying is when I goto copy the parts, how do I get the NEW sale equipment ids updatedcorrectly on their corresponding parts?I can provide more information if necessary.Thank you!!Maria
Hi I have a table with a user column and other columns. User column id the primary key.
I want to create a copy of the record where the user="user1" and insert that copy in the same table in a new created record. But I want the new record to have a value of "user2" in the user column instead of "user1" since it's a primary key
Sorry for the less then descriptive post title but I didn't find a better way to describe it. I'm developing an app in the express editions of VB and SQLserver. The application is a task/resource scheduler. The main form will have a datepicker or weekly overview and show all tasks scheduled per day. The problem is, I've got one or more people assigned to tasks and I wonder what's the best way to design this. Personally, I'd go for one Task table, a People table and a table that provides a link between them (several record per task, one for each person assigned linking TaskID and PplID). However, I don't see a nice way of showing this data to the end user, allowing him to edit/add etc on ONE screen.
To fix that the only way I see is just add columns to the Task table for every person with select boxes. This way everything can be done on one simple screen. This obviously does present some future issues.
On top of this, which people are available on a day varies and there should be an option to allow a user to set who is available on a specific day. Which would lead me to my first idea and add another table that would provide this. but then I'm having design issues again for the form.
I'm kinda stuck atm, can anyone shed some light on this. I'm sure there is an elegant way of doing this but I'm failing at finding it.
We're running a Sage CRM install with a SQL Server 2000 database at the back end. We're using the Sage web services API for updating data and a JDBC connection to retrieve data as it's so much quicker.
If I retrieve a record using the JDBC connection and then try and update the same record through the web services, the query times out as if the record is locked for updates. Has anyone experienced anything similar or know what I'm doing wrong? If I just use DriverManager.getConnection() to establish the connection instead of the datasource, and then continue with the same code I don't get these record locking problems. Please find more details below.
Thanks, Sarah
The JDBC provider for the datasource is a WebSphere embedded ConnectJDBC for SQL Server DataSource, using an implementation type of 'connection pool datasource'. We are using a container managed J2C authentication alias for logging on.
This is running on a Websphere Application Server v6.1.
Can anyone advise me as to how I can add the date and time to 2 columns in the sql server database for each record that is added. I'd prefer not to use the webform. Can sql server add the date automatically to the row? thanks
Is that possible to restrict inserting the record if record already exist in the table.
Scenario: query should be
We are inserting a bulk information of data, it should not insert the row if it already exist in the table. excluding that it should insert the other rows.
