Import From Flatfile With Rows That Have Different Format...
Jan 23, 2008
Hello Folks,
Im trying to use Integrations services to import a file on a daily basis.
My flatfile has to different type of rows that comes from an transaction system, it looks like this:
132,1/1/2008,00,123654,text,1,123.00
132,1/1/2008,00,123652,text,1,23.00
132,1/1/2008,00,123655,text,1,3.00
123,1/1/1/2008,01,149.00
1125,1/1/2008,00,123654,text,1,123.00
1125,1/1/2008,00,123652,text,1,23.00
1125,1/1/2008,00,123655,text,1,3.00
1125,1/1/1/2008,01,149.00;Cash;EUR;01;12
After the date you can see that there is two digits number either 00 or 01. The rows also have a different lengthts.
When ever that columns contains 00 the line should be inserted to a special text file, if the columns contains 01 it should to another file.
How can I solve this in a good way?
One of the problems I have is that when I try to import the rows the flat file connections indicates(erros message) that I have partial row in the file which is true since the the rows with the columns content 01 have more fields then the other.
Thanks for you help.

The first is the
With every keystroke in the flat file connection manager editor on the filename
the bids system goes out and trys to find the file
this is stupidly slow when using \sqldevelopc$zipcode.txt
The second is creating an import from a flat file to database file using data flow task
when you run the task I get the following error trying to open a c:demozipcode.txt file
[AdventureWorks [30]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "Could not bulk load because SSIS file mapping object 'GlobalDTSQLIMPORT ' could not be opened. Operating system error code 2(The system cannot find the file specified.). Make sure you are accessing a local server via Windows security.".
I can see there is an issue with BIDS that when you developing it is using the local drive C drive and running it using the servers C drive
I have tried unc paths also and it doesnt work either
Everything in the connection looks fine, i can see the data, the columns etc
I can get this to work using bulk load task and the exact same connection, but not in the data flow task

Hello all
I got a Problem when I try to store Data from a Flatfile to a DB.
The following Error appears in the Progress Control:
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Products_1'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.Products'.".
I have a Flat File Source, and would like to store the needed records in a DB.
In Column 0 in the Flatfile I have multiple Entries with equal Values.
In the DB this Column is set as Primary Key and can only have one Record with the same Value in this Column.
How can I read out (or store) only one Record with the same Value from the Flatfile to store it in the DB?
How can I check if there is a Record from the Flatfile in the DB with the same value in the Primary Key?
How can I change any of the remaining Columns with different Values in the DB to match with the Flatfile?
Thanks in advance for any answer

I have to import data from a flatfile into our datawarehouse. The supplier of the flat file isn't able to give me a delta, he just gives me a flat files with all the changes on a certain table.
So for instance when a row in a table is updated 3 times, I get 3 rows in my flatfile with the 3 updates and I only need the last one.
The determine wich record is updated I need to combine 6 columns to be sure if I'm looking at the right row in the source database.
Is their a way to accomplish this?
I'm pretty new to those advanced SSIS things and I tried to look for a way to do it with conditional splits etc...
But honestly, I don't have a clue where to start.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards

Hi,I am having trouble importing data from an excel spreadsheet into MSSQL Server 2000 using DTS Wizard. The DTS import process issuccessfull, no errors, but only 50 rows of approx. 1500 rows of dataare imported. I tried to remove 20 rows in the excel spreadsheet inthe interval row 0-50. When i later ran the import, only 30 rows wereimported. I deleted almost every row in the interval 0-50, with theresult of the import having 0 rows imported (but job ransuccessfully). I decided to delete rows 0-100 in the spreadsheet inorder to see if the resolved the problem, but it didn't. As Isuspected something in the excel file to be the cause, I exported theexcel spreadsheeet to a tab delimited textfile, with only one row. ADTS import resulted in importing approx 100 rows, double the amount ofthe textfile, but the other 1400 rows were not imported. The data inthe column is containing numeric values only.Please help me! What could possibly be the cause of DTS skipping rowslike that. DTS doesn't feel reliable at all :/Regards,Björn

Hello!I have data exported from a Reference Manager 11, and need to import itinto and SQL database.Each record has different number of fields.

I have a table with 2 row:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EABL](
[DSID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ABLBELNR] [nvarchar](255) NULL)
If I make a XML formatfile which look like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<BCPFORMAT ...>
<RECORD>
<FIELD ID="1" xsi:type="CharTerm" TERMINATOR=" " MAX_LENGTH="20"/>
</RECORD>
<ROW>
<COLUMN SOURCE="1" NAME="ABLBELNR" xsi:type="SQLNVARCHAR"/>
</ROW>
</BCPFORMAT>
then the import failed with the following error message:
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]All bound columns are not read-only
If I delete the identity column then the import works correct.
What can I do, so that I can import with the identity column ?
Thanks for you help

Hello,
I have the following scenario, and my main question is why Excel Formatted file errors out while TXT formatted file does not? Any workaround would be helpful, but I do want to avoid dtexec, and still want to manage it as SSIS.
MAIN ISSUES - permission issue & excel connection issue
SSIS Package Run Directly (not SQL Job, not automated)
* Every format and and folder location works!
Package Run under SQL JOB
TXT Format
A. Project Folder - GOOD
B. Client Folder - FAILS!
Conclusion - TXT Format works, but Client Folder does not have sufficient permission for PRODsvcSQLDMS
EXCEL Format
A. Project Folder - FAILS!
B. Client Folder - FAILS!
Conclusion - EXCEL Format DOES NOT work. Maybe SSIS Excel Connection Bug.

I need to import few tables from MS Access to MS SQL but the table structure in Access is always different, as I would like the destination table in SQL to be.
Therefore I would like that a table would be created in SQL at runtime, according to the structure the Access table accessed has.

Hi
I have an excel file with 2 rows that I am importing into a staging table. The format on the excel sheet is a custom one which is DD-MMM-YY so in the actual cell the data appears as 01-NOV-07 and 30-OCT-07. The format of the data in the input window above the spreadsheet is 01/11/2007 and 30/10/2007.
The format in the Excel source of the data flow task is Unicode String [DT_WSTR] length 255. I then have a data conversion step that changes this to a string [DT_STR] length 255 as the staging table is non unicode. I then have a derived column function that simply does a ISNULL replace on NULL values to blank. Finally there is an OLE DB destination which is the staging table.
This is where the problem occurs. If I breakpoint the package here and look at the staging table the dates now read as 11/1/2007 and 10/30/2007. The data type in the staging table is varchar 255. I am not doing any other transformations or T-SQL stuff on the data - it is being flipped to MM/DD/YYYY during the import.
By the way I am english hence I need the english variation on the date. I know i could put some T-SQL in to flip it around to english again but wondered why it was happening like this
thanks in advance

I have several bcp output files I need to import into tables. I do not have format files for them. As far as I know they are in native format. I do not know the layout of the destination table they would populate.
1) how can I determine from the bcp file itself the schema of the destination table? Once I know that I should be able to import the data into the table.
Thanks

I have an Excel file(.xls) that I need to import to SQL Server database. I am trying to use the Import wizard. However, when I select the file and click next I get the warning "External table is not in the expected format.(Microsoft JET Database Engine)" . I opened the .xls file using a text editor. It looks like some html document.
<html xmlns="urnchemas-microsoft-comfficeffice"
xmlns:x="urnchemas-microsoft-comffice:excel"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

I also used OPENQUERY to see if it works.
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0',

SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;Database=C:datamyexcelfile.xls', 'SELECT * FROM [Table1$]')
I get the following errors.
OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" returned message "External table is not in the expected format.".
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "(null)".
When I open the file and save it to overwrite the existing .xls file it works fine.
Is there a way to import such files using SSIS without having to open and save it?
Thanks in advance!

hi, I am importing data daily to many tables, I want to keep track of the #of rows for each import process. I already have created a trigger as follow:
CREATE TRIGGER tr_bcp_log ON dbo.A
FOR INSERT
AS
declare @name varchar(30),
@row_count int
select @name=name , @row_count= @@rowcount
from inserted
insert into bcp_tracks (name,row_count)
values(@name,@row_count)
GO
The problem is that I am getting a row for each inserted row in table A.for instance if I have 500 rows in table A, I will get 500 rows in the log table like this
table_name,#of rows
A 1
A 1
A 1
etc up to 500 rows for table A
This is not what I want, I want to capture the num of rows for every bcp process , so in the log table I want to see the following :
table_name, #of rows
A 500
B 600
C 450
A 250
etc
Any help ?
thanks

I have an SSIS package that imports from an Excel file with data beginning in the 7th row.
Unlike the same operation with a csv file ('Header Rows to Skip' in Connection Manager Editor), I can't seem to find a way to ignore the first 6 rows of an Excel file connection.
I'm guessing the answer might be in one of the Data Flow Transformation objects, but I'm not very familiar with them.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I need to count and display the number of records which have GradeTitle="SHO". I'm only starting to use BI development studio and all attempts at using the built in aggregate functions have failed.
Also, the report I wish to create has a fixed number of columns and a fixed number of rows as the info being displayed is really only counting values in the DB. I tried using Table but multiple rows were created.
I'd appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction, as searching this forum turned out to be pretty fruitless for me.
Thanks in advance,
John

I finally put together a SSIS package that takes a Text File and successfully imports its data into the right table. My question is, where in the package's properties can I find the option to Delete all rows from Destination Columns prior to Importing. I have looked everywhere in the Package Explorer for this setting. Thanx in advance.

Just attempting to import a simple tab delimited text file into my SQL Server 2005 database using the SQL Server Import and Export wizard. Column names are specified within the first line of the file. The Header Rows to Skip field value is listed as 0, but the wizard indicates that "The field, Header rows to skip, does not contain a valid numeric value".
Why isn't zero (0) a valid numeric value? I don't want to skip any rows. PLUS, I get the same error when trying to export to a text file although the header rows to skip field does not exist. I can increase the number to 1 or more, but the wizard will skip part of my data .. unacceptable.
What am I missing here? I installed SP1 of SQL server 2005, but that did not help.
Thanks in advance.

Hello again,
As a beginner I would like to replace records in a Table with Records from a Flatfile.
ILet's say, I got a custnum from the Flatfile and I like to replace the whole record of custnum (Primary Key) in a Table.
Can someone give me a hint how to do?
I'm looking forward to an early answer.

The CreatePackage sample provided with SQL Server programmatically creates a package that has a source type of OLEDB to a flat file destination. I am building exactly the opposite, source=flatfile, destination=SQL Server. I expect that will be a more common scenario is using SSIS.
The problem I have is populating the source columns in the FlatFileSource connection manager programmatically. I know it can be done because it happens when you build a package in Visual Studio. What I'd like to know is how to do it programmatically in the object model. How can I interrogate the datasource through the connection manager to find out what columns it has? If I know, I can add the columns to the connection manager. My sample below does this, but it doesn't know the number of columns in the source so that value is hardcoded. I'm guessing there is a better way to do this than what I've got below.
How can I find the number of columns in my source so I can add the columns to the connection manager?
Thanks.
Private Sub AddColumnsToFlatFileConnectionManager()
Dim ff As wrap.IDTSConnectionManagerFlatFile90 = Nothing
For Each cm As ConnectionManager In _Package.Connections
If cm.Name.Equals(_ExternalConnectionID) Then
ff = TryCast(cm.InnerObject, wrap.IDTSConnectionManagerFlatFile90)
DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(cm)
End If
Next
If Not ff Is Nothing Then
Dim col As wrap.IDTSConnectionManagerFlatFileColumn90
Dim name As wrap.IDTSName90
Dim Min As Int32 = 0
Dim Max As Int32 = Min + 3 ' *** HARDCODED LIMIT ***

Hi all,
my package has a lot of lookups of fact table fields against dimension tables.
i did a redirect row for each lookup error to a flat file.
i wanted to put all lookup mismatch on the same file, but i couldn't do it because there'll be error saying that
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
i don't think it's practical to have flat files for each lookups. how is this normally done? please help...
thanks!

This seems so obvious, but is causing me a lot of trouble:
The flat files input to my SSIS packages may contain an empty line between each row of data, or may be "continuous" without any extra empty lines. Here are small examples of the data I'm working with:
With the extra line:
"M","SFH","Single Family Mortgage Loans","Single Fam Mtg"
"M","MFH","Multifamily Mortgage Loans","Multi-Fam Mtg"
"R","MIX","Mixed/Various/Unknown","Mixed/Various"
Without the extra line:
"M","SFH","Single Family Mortgage Loans","Single Fam Mtg"
"M","MFH","Multifamily Mortgage Loans","Multi-Fam Mtg"
"R","MIX","Mixed/Various/Unknown","Mixed/Various"
Seems to me it should be possible to set up a single FlatFile connection to handle both these formats, but it's not easy.
I can easily manually edit the FlatFile connection and change the "RowDelimiter" to either "{CR}{LF}" or "{CR}{LF}{CR}{LF}" and the package runs against the corresponding flat file.
However, when I try to use an expression (@[User::StrRowDelimiter]) to set the RowDelimiter to the value of a package variable, the expression is completely ignored.
I can only change the RowDelimiter property on the FlatFile connection by manually opening the editor on the connection and changing it to match the incoming file.
Why isn't this connection seeing the expression I've set up for its RowDelimiter property?
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
I have a Conditional Split to FlatFile Destination.
How can I put the result, that goes in the FlatFile Destination, in a variable also (like in Recordset Destination).
Do I have to runs this thing twise (and put the first time in FlatFile Destination and the second time in Recordset Destination)?
Thank you.
