Integration Services :: Validate And Avoid Invalid Row When Import Flat File In SSIS
Sep 8, 2015
I have a flat file which have some record data ex.
id name team
1 "A"my" "Bl"ue"s"
2 "Bob" "Reds"
3 "Chuck" "Blues"
4 "Dick" "Blues"
in above example first record contain invalid data so complete flat file will not import due to one invalid row or record in flat file. so is there any way to check invalid row from flat file and ignore it(write log about invalid record) and process importing flat file.
I build my SSIS package based on the above file.But now i receive files with different columns order let say
lastName,FirstNamr,Address l1,f1,a1 L2,f2,a2 or Address,FirstName,LastName a1,f1,l1 a2,f2,l2
every time i receive multiple files in different order and i have to remap all my mappings. These are just a few columns and i have like 20 columns and the order can potentially change any time. so every time i have build new packages remap them etc.
through normal c# code it pretty easy. I tried to add script here but the script also needs a source and mapping so there is also a mapping issue. Is there a better way to do this.
I have been working on this import for days and I just can't figure this out. All I am trying to do is import a flat csv file into a new table using the default settings in the import tool and it just won't work! I have tried it hundreds of different ways, including saving the package and opening it in BIDS. I am new to SQL and SSIS... Errors are below.

I have one task in which i have to collect lots of .txt file having ## delimiter my requirement is to convert the delimiter from ## to comma and save the new file with .dat extension in different folder.
I have done all required process and run the application which should flow like collect source .txt file do Script component processing and create new .dat file with processed data in Data Flow task, but in my Task the Source and Destination start on same time and process start after words which cause empty file or some time a.txt file data stored in b.dat file where as a.dat file is completely empty.
The process should flow in sequence but behavior is totally against the process, i am using Foreach Loop Container for pick up each file.
I set up a connection file in order to move data from sql to csv files. I should be at the last step, the data flow. but:I don't see any flat file in my destination assistant.
If I can select an input flat file via a dialog box, or it is necessary to either hardcode the file name or change the filename everytime to a similar format; &How can a query be run and processed in SQL right after input of a flat file to continue?
Public Class ScriptMain Inherits UserComponent Dim smpid As String Dim Prdt As String Dim rcnt As Int64

Using the Vb script above I am expecting to read the first row from a flat file source and transferring the data into two variable using script component.
I get the following errors one after the other:"The collection of variables locked for read and write access is not available outside of PostExecute." "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I'm working on SSIS to load the data from flat file to sql server, I'm getting date in below format, but in sql server I have given data type datetime. how to convert below format to 16-01-15 12.05.19.1234 AM.
I am working to archive some old data from a data warehouse using SQL server and SSIS. The data will be read and denormalized, then shipped out to a delimited text file.
The rowcount of the incoming data is significant, call it 10M+ rows per unit of work (one text file).
There are development advantages of using a stored proc for the data source - mainly ease of changing the denormalization logic as required. Wondering if there are performance advantages of an embeded query for the data source instead?
It was mentioned by one developer that when using a stored procedure, the output stream from the proc and subsequent SSIS steps cannot start until the full procedure processing is complete; i.e. the proc churns out its' result set in one big chunk.
He hinted that an embedded query does not have this same effect, but I am not sure that is accurate.
I created a simple SSIS package that takes a Flat File Source (CSV file) and Imports it into a OLE DB Destination ([TestCSVImport].dbo.Table1). I have other CSV files I'd like to import, but I don't want to import entries where column "ordereID" (PK) are the equal. Just want to import the new data found in the CSV files. I tried adding a Lookup in-between the Flat File Source and the OLE DB Destination, but I'm not sure how to accomplish only importing new data.
I have a package in which there are only one Data flow Task and it has only three components. 1) Source , which is a SQL db 2) destination and 3) OLE DB Destination flat file Error output file. I want the error file to be created ONLY if there is any error while dumping the data into destination DB. But , the issue is, the error flat file is being created inspite of No error while dumping the data from Source to Destination.
Need to know how I can get the dynamic filename created in the FlatFile destination for insert into a package audit table?
Scenario: Have created a package that successfully outputs Dynamiclly named flat files { Format: C:Test’Comms_File_’ + ‘User::FileNumber’+’_’+Date +’.txt’
E.g.: Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt etc} using Foreach Loop Container :
* Enumerator Set to: “Foreach ADO Enumerator” with the ADO object source variable selected to identify how many total loop iterations there are i.e. Let’s say 4 thus 4 files to be created
*Variable Mappings : added the User::FileNumber – indicates which file number current loop iteration is i.e. 1,2,3,4
For the DataFlow task have a OLDBSource and a FlatFile Destination where Flat File ConnectionString is set up as:
I am running my package in sql server 2012, in which i am giving network path for flat file destination. And its working fine. But if i give m local path, its giving me error " cannot open data file" ...
I am trying to import a flat file into SQL Server 2005 using SSIS. I have never used it before and I am getting confused by the error I am receiving.
I have a link to a flat file, that gets sent through a Derived Column flow where dates in YYYYMMDD are changed to MM/DD/YYYY format. Then the string MM/DD/YYYY is converted to a date in a Data Conversion flow. And finally the data is put into a SQL Server table (currently with no rows).
The problem I am having is with a text field with the email address in it. The error I am getting is:
[Import Allstate Auto Club [1]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "email_source" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
The problem is I can't see where in the flow the problem is. The field length is 20 wherever I look and the codepage is 1252 wherever I look. Does anyone have an insight? Keep in mind, I have never used SSIS before and I consider myself an amateur with SQL Server. It could easily be a data type conflict or something easy. Any help will be appreciated.
I have a fixed width flat file I'm trying to insert into an SQL 2005 table using SSIS -- it's a recurring task. One of the columns in the flat file has to go to a column of type Numeric. No matter what I try : a data conversion, defining the field as DT_NUMERIC in the connection,... I always get "The conversion returned status value 2 and status text :The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data". It is driving me bonkers, up to the point that I find myself wishing for the 'good old' DTS days of SQL 2000. And I dread to think what will happen when I try to port some serious, much more complex DTS packages on my SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
The data in question represents longitudes and latitudes so quite often there is a leading white space in the data : ex. : " 95.15". Surely that cannot be the cause ?
I've spent hours doing the RTFM-thing and searching the newsgroups, fora...you name it. Apart from ending up running in circles in the MS documentation, the only thing I've really learned so far is that I'm aparently not the only one driven to dispair by the new SSIS thing.
I can think of a number of ways to hack my way around this thing, but that's not the kind of 'progress' I had in mind when I started the move to SQL 2005.
Firstly, I hope this question isn't asked too frequently but I found no existing reference to this situation....
I had a bunch of stored procedures in SQL 2k which imported and exported data to and from flat files using TEXTPTR, READTEXT, UPDATETEXT etc... The flat files were continuously changing so the filepath was a parameter for the sp.
The reason I used the pointer to flat files is because I didn't want to load the files in memory before commiting them ie. with TEXTPTR and UPDATETEXT I can import a 1Gb binary file 80000 bytes at a time and keep (precious) memory usage down.
I was accessing this procs from a C# application.
Since these methods are going to be phased out by the guys at MS what is the best way of importing/exporting very large binary files in SQL 2005?
As far as I can tell SSIS requires a Flat File Source Manager object which needs a static filepath - not good.
We have a csv file which contains a date field. The data in the field contains "0" as well as "dd/mm/yyyy". Is it possible to update all "0" to "01/01/1900" on import using SSIS.
Basically when we import the flat file now it falls over due to the destination table data type being datetime.
If this is not clear please let me know and i'll try and explain more?
I will be receiving a CSV daily where columns within the file will change. The column order and number of columns can change daily. I need a way to read in the header from the csv and create a flat file connection that reflects the columns listed in the header.
Is there an easy way to do this using a script task? I have already read the header into a table but I have been unable to create the dynamic file connection.
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.
I have a data record as below from teh comma delimeted text file.
660,"CAMPO DE GOLF ""LA FINC ALOGORFA,",7941
SQL 2000 DTS loads this data fine whree the second column is loaded as
ABC ""DAT DESC,",
But Unable to load the record using SQL 2005 SSIS.It considers "CAMPO DE GOLF ""LA FINC ALOGORFA as one column and " as column 2. Is there any options to load this type of data using SSIS.
I'm trying to do a simple flat file import of a .csv file. The task keeps failing on me and I get the following error
Error: 0xC0047021 at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047039
I looked up the error codes and the only information I can find is that a thread is failing. What would cause this and how can I fix it? I can open the same file in Excel without any problems. I'd really appreciate any insight that anyone has to offer.
I am having difficulties loading data from a flat file to a SQL Database. I am able to load some data but the rest gets kicked out for the following reasons:
1 – The field is varchar 50 and I would like to convert it to a date field 2 – The field contain periods (.) (Only 1 period in each row) 3 – The field contain blanks (NULLS)
How do I create a derived column that will bypass blanks (Nulls) and remove periods (.) in each row then convert column to a date field in SSIS? Looking for steps to create a derived date column using SSIS (derived task); convert it to a date column (09-19-2015); use functions to redirect the nulls and possibly remove the period (.)?
[b][u]Sample Data[/u][/b] Column 3 (Varchar 50) Need to convert to date; remove periods, and bypass nulls(blanks) Blank . Blank . Blank Blank . 01-19-2015 01-19-2015 Blank . Blanlk . Blank 01-19-2015 . Blank .
I need to know how to create a AScii 7 bit flat file using Integration services. I do have basic charecters in the flat files - only other charecters required are a pipe (|), which is used as delimeter and additionally it will have line feed (LF) which is used as row delimeter.
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 am using MS SQL 2005 and using Integration Services I have created FTP task to create a txt file with the required information on to a FTP location. But I need the encoding of the file to be set to AScii 7 bit mode rather than unicode or Ansi-Latin I - which are 16 bit. I tried creating the file first in unicode first & then converting it Ascii, but this made me to loose some data from the generated file. Looks like this doesnt work out and my attempts generating AScii 7 bit flat file is failing. I need solution to URGENTLY otherwise I will have think of some alternative other than Integration services. Egarly waiting for any responses!!
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.
We run std 2008 r2. I'm looking at the files this transform is complaining about. They seem to be named appropriately. The customerid folders don't exist when this runs. I'm going to put one in place to see if that is the problem.
The errors i'm getting are...
[Export Column [22]] Error: The file name "c:usersmyuserid heprojectnamecustomeridafilename.doc" is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters. [Export Column [22]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "component "Export Column" (22)" failed because error code 0xC020207F occurred,
and the error row disposition on "input column "FILENAME" (29)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "Export Column" (22) failed with error code 0xC0209029
while processing input "Export Column Input" (23). The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component,but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
