Integration Services :: Truncation Errors Using Excel Connection Manager - VS2008
Jun 17, 2015
I am in the process of importing an Excel Spreadsheet using the natively connection manager in SSIS 2008. There is one column however that is causing me grief.
SSIS has natively chosen the problematic column to be a DT_WSTR(255). I have gone into the Excel connection manager's Advanced Editor and altered it to be a DT_WSTR(1000) (see image 1 attached).
I am still getting truncation issues though, as per image 2 attached. why this is?

I have a pretty easy data load and design of my package flow is like this : Excel -> Stage -> operational_table. So now everything is working fine and the operational table will be called for front end applications. So far so good.
Everything is truncate and load operation. Yesterday, my stage to operational table load failed because of truncation happened for a column. Is there any way I can validate for errors and if at all there are any errors I wont truncate my operational table. I'm thinking of this way .. If
max(len(stage.column)) > COL_LENGTH('operational table','[column]')
stop truncating operational table.. Is there any other better way or just above works fine?

I need to process a 2012 Excel file. In SSIS Connection Manager, I am only given an option until Excel 2007 version. When I use this in my connection for Excel Source, I am prompted with this error when I attempt to select the name of the sheet:
"Could not retrieve the table information for the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'.
Failed to connect to the source using the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'"
Also my Run64BitRuntime is set to false.

I need to export some data from sql server 2012 to a excel file(.xlsx). Truncation error happened when executing the exporting task, error happened in conversion from a column of type nvarchar(max) to a column of type LongText. Max length of the source column data is 4303, and documented length limit of LongText, which is a alias of type Memo, is 64,000. why this error happen?
Below is detailed error message:
- Executing (Error)

I have a package that uses a for loop to iterate through an unknown amount of excel files and pull their data into a table. However, there will be cases when the file is corrupted or has some sort of problem so that either the transformation will fail or the excel source will fail.
I have it so that for each iteration if the transform was successful the file is moved to an archive directory, and if it fails the file is moved to a different directory.
But I don't want the package to be marked as failed. For the control flow tasks I have set the individual components to FailPackageonFailure = False, and for the Data Flow tasks I have set ValidateExternalMetadata = False.
It no use to set the MaxErrorCount higher because I can't guarantee how many files will be processed and how many might fail.
Could anyone suggest a clean way to trap these errors? Specifically, the "Cannot Aquire Connection from Connection Manager", which is the excel connection.
Thanks

Purpose: Need to import excel source data into SQL Server 2005 tables. Excel source data comes in nulitple excel files with the same structure but different data. I would appreciate someone taking a look at the following information and notifying me of what I am doing incorrectly.
I Inserted a foreach loop container, a data flow task located inside the foreach loop contaiiner, an excel and SQL Server 2005 connections.
After trying multiple times I went the following URL and followed step by step direction on how to connect excel workbooks dynamically: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345182.aspx . I also used http://www.sqlstrings.com/ as a reference when creating the connection string.
Creating a Foreach Loop Container:
1. Opened foreach loop container 2.Set the Enumerator to 'Foreach File Enumerator" and configured the enumerator by setting the directory location and file base name to E:ClientsDep CommBEABEA_Test_Source and *PersonnelExpense*.xls respectively. 3. Clicked Variable Mapping; created two variables called, "ExcelFile", and "ExtProperties" and closed out of the foreach loop container.
I. Created Excel Connection:
Created excel connection called, Dynamic Excel Connection Manager,? that initially pointed to one of the excel workbooks.
Went to the connection properties by right clicking the connection manager.
Expanded Expressions and clicked the ellipsis button to bring up property expressions
Chose Connection String in the Property.
Clicked the Expression Ellipsis button.
Put the following inside the Expression multi line text box:
A. "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + @[User::ExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="" + @[User::ExtProperties] + """
Clicked the Evaluate Expression button to get the following:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=;Extended Properties=""
Clicked Ok button
Inserted a Data flow task inside the foreach loop container.
II. Configured Tasks that is associated with Dynamic Excel Connection Manager or Package:
Set the Foreach loop container Delay Validation to true.
Set the Data Flow Task Container Delay Validation to true.
Set the Dynamic Excel Connection Manager Delay Validation to true.
Set the SQL Server Connection Manager Delay Validation to true.
Set the Package Delay Validation to true.
Package Locale ID set to English
Ran the package after connecting the excel source data flow to the OLEDB destination and have inserted part of the error in this post. Please see below.
Error: 0xC0202009 at Package, Connection manager "Dynamic Excel Connection Manager": An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Could not find installable ISAM.".
I modified the connection string after receiving the error by removing the extended properties. The following is the modified connection string: "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + @[User::ExcelFile]
I repeated step I.6 above and received the following expression: Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=
I ran the package and received the following error in part: OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unrecognized database format 'E:ClientsDep CommBEABEA_Test_SourcePersonnelExpense_OCCs_051007.xls'."
I did not find anything helpful when I searched for the above errors and would very much appreciate anyones assistance on this issue as this issue needs to be taken care of ASAP.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I received this error and what can I do to resolve this issue?
Your assistance in this matter is truly appreicated!
Thanks!!

I use SQL Server 2012 and visual studio 2010.I created SSIS Project with task "Execute Package". Control flow view as: Package1 (execute package) -> Package2 (data flow).Data flow in Package2 view as: ADO.NET source -> ADO.NET destination.
When I started Package2, it's work. I havn't errors.But when I started Package 1 I have error "Unable to get managed connection from the Connection Manager runtime". In execution log I see that ADO.NET source produced this error on verification stage. Package failed on verification stage, not on execution stage.Why when I started Package 2 it work, but when I started Package1 (and Package1 started Package2) it failed?

I have an existing SSIS package created on another workstation. It connects to and updates data in a DB2 database. I'm only making one very minor change to the package, so I want to change this package as little as possible.When I try to open the existing db2 connection manager in the package on my workstation, I get 'The specified provider is not supported.Please choose different provider in connection manager'.
On the properties box, I get the following on the connectionString for the existing connection manager (data source and userid changed to "private"):Data Source=PRIVATE;User ID=private;Provider=IBMDADB2.DB2COPY1;Persist Security Info=True;
I tried loading the 32 and 64 bit db2 drivers (but I may have done something wrong). I still couldn't get the original db2 connection manager to open, I tried to add a new connection manager,
Data Source=PRIVATE;Provider=IBMDADB2 Advanced Page..This has 'Provider=IBMDADB2 Advanced Page.;' instead of Provider='IBMDADB2.DB2COPY1', and doesn't let me enter a userid and password, which I need to be able to do.

I'm using SSDT 2012 to create SMO Connection Manager for transferring server objects. However the connection is not working, it always returns error message something like "server is not found". I tried to connect multiple servers, with both Windows and SQL authentications, none of them works. I found the SMO.dll is already installed in the specific folder on my development machine. What would be the reason of this error?
Edited---Added the error message below. I can connect the server using OLEDB or ADO.NET. So my question is, is there a service, protocol or port .... to get SMO Server ready for responding?

How do I know when its the right time to use the Cache Connection Manager? I understand that Full Cache mode eliminates the need to query the lookup table for every row.
Is the Cache Connection Manager intended for use by multiple packages that need access to the same lookup data?

I have an SSIS package that uses an FTP connection manager. When running the package in BIDS, it runs fine and maintains the password for the remote ftp site's user account.
Once I deploy the package and attempt to run it, it fails with the following error:
Started: 4:06:15 PM
Error: 2015-08-27 16:06:20.09
Code: 0xC001602A
Source: Export and FTP New Jobs Connection manager "FTP Connection Manager"
Description: An error occurred in the requested FTP operation. Detailed error description: The password was not allowed
End Error
Error: 2015-08-27 16:06:20.09
Code: 0xC002918F
Source: FTP Jobs Listing to Concur FTP Task
Description: Unable to connect to FTP server using "FTP Connection Manager".
End Error
DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1).
I've tried Don't Save Sensitive With Password and that still fails.
Does the FTP connection manager just not retain passwords outside of BIDS?

I create a connection to an OLE db source and use SQL Server authorization and save the password, the connection manager seems to "forget" the password. That is, when I click the 'save password' check box, and do a test connection, it connects fine. But as soon as I close that connection window, and reopen it, the password box is empty, and the 'save password' box is still checked.
While using the connection manager name in the SSIS component (say script task) the connection is failing . As a workaround, the whole connection string has been put in a variable and used that variable in the SCRIPT task.
Is it a bug or some other property need to be set to use ConnectionManager Name .
Using BIDS 2008

User A creates the SSIS Package and provides the password for the connection manager for a task (for OLE DB source) with SQL authentication.
When User B tries to run the SSIS package, the error is thrown as : The package may be damaged.
On typing the password again inside the connection manager, the execution occurs successfully. Is there any workaround to save the password permamanently for the connection manager rather than each user entering it in order to run the package ?

How to use variables in Connection Manager's properties? I see some replies through Configuration Package. But what if, it is still in development stage? I mean, can I use the Variable tab and create some variables like
User::DBUserNameSource, User::DBPasswordSource,
User::DBuserNameDestination, User::DBPasswordDestination,
Then put them in Password and UserName property of Connection Manager? If this is possible, how and how can I set the values of those variables I mentioned when I am going to deploy the package in the Production?

Can we disable a flat file connection manager in a ssis package just as how we can disable a OLE db task? When I try to disable the flat file by clicking on work offline its gets disabled which is what i expected , but when i close the package and reopen it again its again enabled , is this the way that a flat file connection manager works.

I have a very basic / stripped connection manager with only one property (SSIS 2012). It works fine in design time (you can open the connection manager editor and change the value), but in runtime it only works in 32bit mode. The runtime-validate-method does work, but if everything validates OK then in 64bit it throws an error when you run the package:
Exception deserializing the package "The package failed to load due to error 0xC0011008 "Error loading from XML. No further detailed error information can be specified for this problem because no Events object was passed where detailed error information can be stored.". This occurs when CPackage::LoadFromXML fails.
The 2 VS projects are .Net 4 class library projects with the Build Platform on "Any CPU"
I only add references to:

I'm working in VS 2010 for SSIS 2012. I have a project whose deployment is done via project deployment to SSISDB. I've got a local flatfile connection manager within one of its packages. When I deploy I'm unable to override the file name property in either package configuration or job step configuration on the SQL Server. If the flatfile connection were at the project level, I could. Not sure of the rationale for this or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

URL....I'm having a problem with Integration Services Tutorials SSIS Tutorial: Creating a Simple ETL Package Lesson 2: Adding Looping (step 3).I can't add a variable to Sample Flat File Source Data.Right-clicking on the connection manager just shows two items of the property: File Name and File Path and nothing else.I am using MS Visual Studio Ultimate 2012. Does it have limitations? I've see screenshots where properties of flat file managers have many more options.

I am trying to dynamically change my initial catalog in a SSIS project. Each day I get a snapshot of data from the production server. I am performing ETL on that database and loading it into my warehouse. I am trying to put something together so that each day I get the latest snapshot and if its newer then my most recent one I pass that new catalog into the connection manager. I can already run the sql script to compare the two catalogs but I can't populate the connection manager.

I am working with SQL Server 2012. I have deployed a SSIS project that has 2 packages in it. The package connection manager (Test) uses an expression to evaluate one of the Project parameter value (TestConnectionString) to set its ConnectionString property.
This works fine in a Dev environment. However when deployed to UAT, it keeps failing with the error:
PackageExport:Error: The result of the expression
"@[$Project::TestConnectionString]" on property
"Package.Connections[Test].Properties
[ConnectionString]" cannot be written to the property. The expression was evaluated, but cannot be set on the
property.
I can not seem to find what the issue could be. I have come across [URL] .... where it says: "If the package contains project parameters, the package execution may fail." but offers no solution.

I have a linked server setup in dev environment which is pointing to ORACLE server of a third-party. I m on sql server 2008 r2 and using BIDS 2008 for building an SSIS package which would pull data from oracle and do a look up in SQL server table to get a final extract. Now the query which pulls data from a single table from linked server is like the one below
select * from [oracle linked server ]..dbo.tablename a
left join mySQLSERVERtable b
on a.id=b.id
Note:I can execute this query on SSMS as the linked server is setup -[oracle linked server ] and I have sql oledb connection manager for dev environment already configured in my ssis package .
My questions are do I need to create a SSIS CONNECTION manager specifically for linked server in my ssis package ?
Are there any best practices which we follow when using linked servers in this context ? I am thinking will the join suffer performance issue and what kind of exceptions I need to write when the linked server connection is broken.

I have an expression based project connection manager in an existing package and updating Packet Size parameter.
After update and clicking on OK, Packet Size value reverts back to 0 (which is old value). This connection manager is used by lot of Dataflow tasks in my package and recreating the connection manager and updating the reference is not a viable option.

Using excel connection to load data to SQL Server When I try doing this character data is loading as nulls, I have tried by putting IMEX=1 property in connection string and removing IMEX=1 property from connection string , in both cases it is showing nulls, in the data viewer which i have placed after Excel source. I have also tried using the OPENROWSET which for some reason does not create an adhoc connection. I also tried changing the Datatypes in the advanced editor which again throws error. For some reason SSIS excel connection reads only the first 8 rows and decides a datatype and rest showup NULL.

I'm unable to find a solution to this truncation error on google.This happens only on one field which has comments. The offending Excel row/column has text that was entered in two lines i.e they entered the data and pressed "enter" and wrote a new line in the same row.Im using an Excel file source in SSIS and an OLEDB Destination (SQL Server) but one column keeps erroring out and I have tried to do the following:
1) Change output column width in advanced editor (still errors)
2) Data conversion tool between the source and destination (still errors)
