I'm trying to write a conditional split where I want to bring in only records where the date is less than today, but my problem is that I can't simply do this Column < GetDate() because if something comes in today, it takes the time into account and it will bring that record for today. You can do this in SQL, but I'm not sure how to do that in SSIS
SELECTCAST(CONVERT(char(8),GetDate(),112)ASdatetime)
I have a field 'IsActive' which is bit type either 1 or 0. And in my package, the conditional split must be set something like
IsActive==0
And throws exception that condition evaluated as NULL where Boolean was expected. How i can make this work?
I'm encountering a very peculiar situation when I'm trying to compare source and target data using conditional split. Following is the Data Flow and how I'm trying to achieve this.
Source Data : Col_A (PK)Â Â Â Â Â Col_2
                      1                   100
                      8                   500
Target Data : Col_A (PK)Â Â Â Â Â Col_2
                      1                   100
                      3                   700
                      8                   500
Look-up Target on Col_A to check for existing records. Now we have four columns in Look-up match output: Col_A, Col_B, Lkp_Col_A (Target Col), Lkp_Col_B (Target Col).
Conditional Split: Compare Col_B with Lkp_Col_B
Update target if there is any change in the existing value of Col_B.When I'm running the package for every record in source, the conditional split fails and even when there is no change in Col_B, some of the records (Not all and quite randomly) get updated with the same value. If I run the package for few records, it works absolutely fine.
I am importing the values for field Atype from a .csv file as DT_STR, 13 and I need to fit them into a bit type CType field.
When I write the conditional split ((ISNULL(Atype)?"a":Atype)!=(ISNULL(CType)?"9":CType)) it says that the DT_WSTR and DT_I4 types are incompatible and that I need to explicitly cast with a cast operator. I haven't been able to make it work, how to explicitly cast?
I have a Problem with my destinations. I have a split condition with two ways the flow can use.
In this case: all and Date.
All and Date can be set by using a variable. Its working good.
When a user fills the variable with a date value (cast to string) the conditional split executes the correct flow with all the needed rows... The same time the all flow will be executed with 0 rows. In the end the destionation file for the all values will be overwritten with nothing. The same on the other hand when a user fills the variable with the all value, the date file is empty. What can i do to make sure that the files are not empty?
We are building a dataload application where parameters are store in a table. And there are multiple packages for each load.There is a column IsChecked column if it is 1 then only the child package should execute.Created a master package. In which i have taken execute SQL task in that storing a results in variable and based on the result the child package should execute. But In executesql task i selected result set as full result set. Â I am getting the below error.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "SELECT Â isnull(ID ,0) AS ID FROM DataLoadParameter..." failed with the following error: "The type of the value (DBNull) being assigned to variable "User::LoadValue" differs from the current variable type (Int32). Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
I have 10 columns i.e from Segment1 to Segment10. I need to concatenate it with ".". All 10 segments can be null. If any of the segment is null i do not want to show ".". This is the expression I am using
 (DT_STR,100,1252)((ISNULL(SEGMENT1) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT1) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT2) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT2) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT3) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT3) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT4)
? "" : "." + SEGMENT4) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT5) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT5) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT6) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT6) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT7) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT7)
+ (ISNULL(SEGMENT8) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT8) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT9) ? "" : "." + SEGMENT9) + (ISNULL(SEGMENT10) ? "" : SEGMENT10))
But if any of the column contains Null or Blank I get ...... I do not want to show these .... if any segment is null.
What mistake am I doing in the above expression?

tab2 table2 G...
First column values are table names which are already exists in target database. Next two columns[Desc],[Code]Â data gets populate from CSV file to table.
In this scenario, how to load tab1 data into the same table in destination and so on.
Which way will be more standard to accomplish this task? If its a script task using C#, looking for clear script to identify a value changes in the first column.
I was to split each record into multiple columns. The problem is some records need to be split into only 1 column, others may need to be split into more. Also need to remove the "/"'s. This is all dependent  on where a "/" is found. Been beating my head for a while and getting nowhere.
So:
create table #foo (myPK int, c1 nvarchar(425))
insert into #foo values (1,'/folder1')
insert into #foo values (2,'/lvl1/folder2')
insert into #foo values (3,'/folder1/lvl2/folder3')
insert into #foo values (4,'/f1/folder2/lvl3/fldr4')
Should return as:
folder1
lvl1
folder2
folder1
lvl2
folder3
f1
folder2
lvl3
fldr4

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table that I am using in a package to create an extract from. In that table is an address field called "Street" that is 255 characters in length. My table also has 3 additional fields called address_1, address_2 and address_3 that are each 50 characters in length because that is the requirement for my extract. I need to split the address field up in such a way that if it is longer than 50 characters, it backs up to the first space in the address prior to character #50, puts that info in street1, then from that cut off point used in street1, puts the next 50 up to the prior blank space in street2, then the remainder in street3. Where the extract will be used only has three 50 character fields so if the data runs more than 150 characters, the street3 data will just have to be truncated. No way around that, but I don't anticipate any address getting close to that long. Although doing such a split would be much easier using SQL, the solution requirement is that it be done in the package, not using SQL to do so.
I'm assuming I need to use a "derived column transformation" in my data flow. But, I can't figure out how to do what I need to do with a derived column transformation.
Example of info in an address:
123 Chicamauga Avenue South, Across the Street from International Center Square, Apartment Number 17650 Tokiwa-machi Machida
position 1-50:
123 Chicamauga Avenue South, Across the Street fro
Therefore, Street1 would need to get:
123 Chicamauga Avenue South, Across the Street

Im reading in a CSV wiht double quote text delimiters. Data came from mySQL.
One column in mySql is text(65535) which is equivalent to varchar(max) as far as i understand.
This particular column can be blank, not null, just blank. If its blank i want to put in a value so i added a Derived column shape and added the following formula:
LEN(my_Column) < 1 ? Â "" : Â (DT_TEXT)my_Column
I get the below error from this expression:
 The data types "DT_WSTR" and "DT_TEXT" are incompatible for the conditional operator. The operand types cannot be implicitly cast into compatible types for the conditional operation. To perform this operation, one or both operands need to be explicitly cast with a cast operator.
I have tried this without casting but still get an error. As I have configured the column in the flatfile connector as DT_TEXT, im not sure where its getting DT_STR from.
How to split excel workbook into individual sheets using SSIS 2008 without using  " Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel"
The Workbook need to be broken into multiple sheets available in the workbook.
The SSIS package will read the excel workbook and split into individual sheet  and rename the sheet with the name available in the workbook..
I have a delimited text file with 650+ columns. The sum of the column lengths of a single row, if fully populated, exceeds 30K bytes. The "killer" fields lengthwise are the "Description" fields. If they were removed from the input file, the remainig columns would occupy about 5000 bytes, which is within SQL max row length.Â
Can SSIS be used to created these two tables? (one without  description fields, the other with those field but arranged vertically in the table rows).
The fundamental issue is I can not import a single file row into a sql table because that row length could exceed the max byte count for a row.
I have a excel file which has a column called "Code" and their values are A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. I want to create a new column called "status" based on the values of "Code".

B
C
D
E
F
G
H
If A,C,E,G then "status" = "Active" else if B,D,F,H then "Status" = "Inactive". I like to do it using "Derived Column".

Can somebody guide me on the prefered standards of doing this
I have a Colunm in a table having both NULLS and some data
Ex:
Table 1
Col1 Col2
--------------------------
1 MSDN
2 Forum
3 NULL
4 NULL
5 Condition
6 Split
7 NULL
I want to move the data from this tabel to two different table depending upon the value in Col2
Table2
Col1 Col2
--------------------------
1 MSDN
2 Forum
5 Condition
6 Split
Table 3
Col1 Col2
--------------------------
3 NULL
4 NULL
7 NULL
For doing this I used a simple Conditional Split Task after table 1
First Approach
Output Name; Null Data Condition: ISNULL(Col2)
I routed the output Null Data to Table3 and the default to Table2.
Strangely I see some data in Table3 which is not NULL. That is Table 3 is having a data which is not equal to null in Col2.
I have no clue why will it do that.
Second approach
Output Name: Data, Condition: !(ISNULL(Col2))
I routed the output: Data to Table2 and the default to Table3.
Strangely I see some data in Table3 which is not NULL. That is Table 3 is having a data which is not equal to null in Col2.
I have a oledb source and destination in a data flow task..
I would like to put the records where customer_key is null to an error table
and rest of records to a destination table ( customers) using conditional split task..
how can i do this?
I am using a conditional split to evaluate the condition below. It should only send records to my SQL Server database if the PatientZip matches one of the eight below and the PatientCity is not Wichita Falls (you wouldn't believe how bad this is mispelled sometimes). I checked the output table and it has all records for the zipcodes below both matching and non-matching the cityname of Wichita Falls. The table should not have entries for records with the cityname of Wichita Falls. Do I have the code correct or could I have missed something?
LTRIM(PatientCity) != "Wichita Falls" && (PatientZip == "76301" || PatientZip == "76302" || PatientZip == "76305" || PatientZip == "76306" || PatientZip == "76307" || PatientZip == "76308" || PatientZip == "76309" || PatientZip == "76310")
I want to use conditional split on a column that has either a 0 or 1 in order to proceed with the workflow on my conditional split command i have ([colnam])==1 but the transformation still grabs all the data in the table whether the condition is 1 or 0. What could I be doing wrong?

Hi,
In my Excel file I have the columns Col1, Col2. I want to send those records to Sqlserver table only if the Col1 and Col2 is not null.
For this I am using the Conditional Split expression like this: (!ISNULL([Col1])) && (!ISNULL([Col2])). And sending this result to Sqlserver table. But I am not getting any records into the table. But the records col1 and col2 not null exist in Excel file. Is there any thing wrong in my expression?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
I am have an ID column that sometimes contains all numeric characters and sometimes contains all digits. I would like to the records with all digits (0-9) to continue downstream in my Data Flow. I would like the records that contain characters other than digits to be logged to a table.
This sounds like a job for the Conditional Split transformation, but I don't see a way to easily test for a numeric value. For example, I would like to use something like ISNUMERIC([MyIDField]) for testing the values in my Conditional Split, but I don't see a way to do this.
Do I have to create a Derived Column transformation prior to my conditional split that populates a "numeric" ID column for each of my records then test this Derived Column in my Conditional Split? Seems like more work than I would to see for something as simple as testing for a numeric...
TIA...
Brian
In the conditional split transformation,
I am trying to pass the expression like below.
ISNULL(DT_STR(10,1252) [Visit_Date] ) ? "01/01/1990" : [Visit_Date] ! = ISNULL( DT_STR(10,1252)[Visit_Date_Original] ) ? "01/01/1990" : [Visit_Date_original]
but it keeps giving me a syntax error.. what am i doing wrong here?
thanks,
I have a zipcode column that contains xxxxx-xxxx, i want to use conditional split so that i can take the last 4 digits and put them into a different column, I tried to use the SUBSTRING ("ZIP", 6, 4) but it returns an error, any ideas on how i can split it?
Thanks.
Hi
Can any one please tell me how do I give multiple conditions in Conditional Split Transformation.
Exp:
I have few columns as
ReturnSUK
TimeSUK
EntitySUK
PeriodSUK
Now the condition should be :
! ISNULL (ReturnSUK) & ! ISNULL (TimeSUK) & ! ISNULL (EntitySUK) &! ISNULL (PeriodSUK)
Please provide me the proper condition for the above mentioned requirement.
Thank you
Hello,
When you´re comparing values in the Condition of the Conditional split, can you assign a value to a variable?
If so, how can you accomplish this?
Thank you.
I have setup a SSIS package that takes a flat file fixed width input, and stores it to two SQL server tables in the same database. The flat file contains two types of records, lets call them Type1 and Type2. The two types of records are formatted differently, and the first character determines what type the record is. I used a conditional split to send record type1 down one path, and type2 down the other. On each of those I use a derived column task to build all the fields and then store to the table with the OLE destination. I put any errors that occur (like truncation) into an error table by setting the "redirected row" feature vs "Fail Component". This all works well and I have no issues.
The dilema is as follows. Type1 is essentially a parent record and the Type2 record is a child. There is a shared primary key / foreign key relationship field. I want errors when processing type1 to cause the associated type2 to also be redirected to the error table vs being inserted.
If anyone has suggestions on how this could be done, reference articles, etc... please let me know.
Thanks.
I have been transfering data from text file to sql databases.
I have a conditional split where i check to if the address has changed for a particular person.If yes i direct to update else i direct to default output which means no change.
when i connect error output of conditional split to a database or union all couple of rows are directed to error output.But i dont understand the reason.How would i be able to know why they r directed to error.
Please let me know.
Good Day All,
I have an interesting situation that I cannot believe is unique. I have a flat file (ragged right) that contains 5 different record types. Each row in the file identifies the record type in the first character. The layout is something like this:
File Header
Group Header (Contains group id number)
Data Item (Contains group id number)
.
.
.
Group Footer (DOES NOT CONTAIN GROUP ID NUMBER)
Group Header (Contains group id number)
Data Item (Contains group id number)
.
.
.
Group Footer (DOES NOT CONTAIN GROUP ID NUMBER)
File Footer
Now I only want to extract data for ONE of the aforementioned groups, however I need the group footer as well because it contains some control totals for the group. The real problem is that the footers do not contain the group id number it goes with. It is a completely positional thing. Silly, yes I know but this particular file layout is an industry standard.
I thought the conditional split would be the way to go. Unfortuately, it seems the conditional split wants to split the entire data set before passing the results down stream rather than processing a single row at a time and passing that row down stream before processing the next one. (Blocking versus streaming I think its called) I could do it in a single god-awful script but I would rather try not to have to code the entire thing.
Any suggestions would be very helpful..
TIA,
Don
If I have 2 input fields to my conditional split, how can I do a compare based on if they are alike. Example, I have 2 IDs, I want to see if the IDs match for a PK/FK relationship, if they match, then output those rows to the conditional's output stream. Do I literally do this or is this not right for the expression? Is there a like statement I should be using instead?
[IDName] == [IDName]
Basically I have 2 OLE DB sources coming in, 2 sets of columns, and both tables behind each OLE DB souce have an ID field to determine the PK/FK relationship. Out of all the records going through from the OLE DB source to the conditional split, I want to output each set of records where the IDs are equal...thuse after my conditional split, I could then take those records and input them into another txt file....and then the process would repeat for the next records in the pipe where IDs are the same...
Hi,
I have the following table in MsAccess
EmployeesA
empId integer,
empName varchar(60),
empAge integer,
empStatus char(1) - can be N,D or S - New, Deleted or Shifted
and the following in Sql2005
EmployeesB
Id smallint,
Name varchar(60),
Age int,
Status char(1) - Bydefault 'N'
I have written a Foreach File package that populates the sql server tables (EmployeesB) from Access(EmployeesA). However i want to check for a condition now.
If empStatus = N in EmployeesA, then insert a new record in EmployeesB
If empStatus = D in EmployeesA, then search for that field in the EmployeesB by passing empname and age and if found, mark the Status field in EmployeesB as 'D'
If empStatus = S in EmployeesA, then search for that field in the EmployeesB by passing empname and age and if found, mark the Status as 'S' in EmployeesB and insert a new row.
How do I do it for each table each row in EmployeesA using a foreach file loop?
Thanks,
ron
