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 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'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) Col_2
1 100
8 500
Target Data : Col_A (PK) 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. I am getting the below error.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "SELECT 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 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
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 as csv-file wich I import into an SQL Server table. Now I want to do some checks on it. I use a conditional split to direct data to the other tables (1 table for the correct data, 1 table for the rejected data).
Is it possible to use a regular expression in a case in a conditional split to check if a columns has the right format?
If yes? How do I do that?
If no? What is the alternative?
Thanks!
Hi everyone!
I'm using a conditional split to discriminate modified records. My expression looks like this:
col1_source != col1_dest || col2_source != col2_des.....and so on. I use OLE DB Command afterward to update modified records.
It all works fine if no columns evaluate to null. If any (source or dest.) evaluates to null, component fails.
Any tips how to solve a problem?
It has to work like this:
If colX_source is null and colX_dest is not null --> Update
If colX_source is not null and colX_dest is null --> Update
If both colX_source and colX_dest are null --> No update
p.s. i apologize if a similar thread exists, I haven't found something of use to me.
I think I know the answer to this but thought I'd ask anyway.
I have a conditional split to check a column for null values or empty string values. It looks like this:
(!ISNULL(Ballot)) || (LEN(TRIM(Ballot)) > 0)
My question is: Are both sides of the expression evaluated? My testing says yes, because a Null value causes an error. Is there a way to short circuit the evaluation like the || operator in C# or the (less than elegant, and seemingly threatening) OrElse operator in VB? Whats the best alternative:
A slightly more complex expression that turns a null value into an empty string
A script component
Two conditional splits
Two paths out of one condtional split
I went with the first option, here is the expression I came up with:
LEN(ISNULL(Ballot) ? "" : TRIM(Ballot)) > 0
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?

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

I have tried with this thing for hours and I can't get it to parse.
Trying to get last year so the expression should evaluate today as of "12/31/2014"
I looked all over on Google and couldn't find an expression to copy so I've been playing with it.
Here is what it is in SQL Server:
SELECT DATEADD(dd,-1,DATEADD(yy, DATEDIFF(yy,0,GETDATE()),0))
Absolutely could not get it to parse..even with DT tags, etc...
i have monthly csv files have been loading into tables and the files having columnn month names (e.g july) i need to write SSIS expression based on month column to get last day of the month like 31072015 some thing like below]

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 ? "" : (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.
I have one scenario
Table
Col1. Col2
1. A,b,c,df,ghf

1. C
1. Df
1. Ghf
2. C
2. B

I am trying to figure out my expression here with derived column

I achieved this in sql but not finding solution in SSIS Derived column transformation.
I am very new to SSIS. I need a package to iterate through files in folders and subfolders, evaluate the date of the file and delete them if they are over 90 days. I am using the following as a guide. The reason I am not using a maintenance plan for this is that I did not see a way to use a built in maintenance plan task to copy files. I already built a package that copies files to the destination. Now I need to delete files in the destination that are over 90 days old.
[URL] ...
I have a File System Task to delete files. I have a Script Task with a precedence constraint where I need to build an expression on the constraint between the Script Task and the File System Task for the delete.
I have database backups in the format of SQLInstanceName_DatabaseName_BackupType_YYYYMMDD_XXXXXXX.bak.
I created a variable to store the filename and I need an expression that will convert a file name like :
MySQLInstance_MyDB_DIFF_20150803_1700000.bak into 20150803, compare it to getdate -90 days.
I created another variable for the Max File Age. I built the below but when I click on Evaluate Expression I get an error stating, "The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element."
DATEDIFF("dd",(DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING(RIGHT( @[User::strFileName], 20 ),1,8), GETDATE()) > @[User::intFileMaxAge]
How can i write expression for below input?
1858;# 1234;#Chun Yang
I want to display only name.
We have one package in production. variable var_date has an expression already defined to it. How can we overwrite this variable value from config file or from cmd file. We don't want to make changes to the package and redeploy it.

I have one column CandidatePlaced (Data type Boolean).
Using data conversion i changed data type to DT_WSTR and then i used derived column to manipulate the data. Ex. 1 = "Yes" and 0 = "No"

I have SQL Server 2012 SSIS. I have Excel source and OLE DB Destination.I have problem with importing CustomerSales column.CustomerSales values like 1000.00,2000.10,3000.30,NotAvailable.So I have decimal values and nvarchar mixed in on Excel column. This is requirement for solution.However SSIS reads only numeric values correctly and nvarchar values are set as Null. Why?
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Import_CustomerSales](
[CustomerId] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[CustomeName] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[CustomerSales] [nvarchar](50) NULL

Import.csv file looks like,
TABLE_NAME DESC CODE
tab1 table1 A

First column values are table names which are already exists in target database. Next two columns[Desc],[Code] 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 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.
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.
