I'm new in SSIS and I'm trying to activate a lookup on a table reside on DB2/AS400. Iget the following message when I try to join the input column to the lookup column:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
------------------------------
The following columns cannot be mapped:
[STOREK_S, STOREK_S]
One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.
------------------------------
BUTTONS:
OK
------------------------------
I know both columns have the same format on the DB2 table.
What I'm doing wrong ?
P.S: I'm using the IBM DB2 UDB for iSeries IBMDASQL OLE DB Provider as connection.
If I try with the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2, I was unable to get the list of my table on teh AS400.
We did some "at scale" fuzzy lookup tests today and were rather disappointed with the performance. I'm wanting to know your experience so I can set my performance expectations appropriately.
We were doing a fuzzy lookup against a lookup table with 25 million rows. Each row has 11 columns used in the fuzzy lookup, each between 10-100 chars. We set CopyReferenceTable=0 and MatchIndexOptions=GenerateAndPersistNewIndex and WarmCaches=true. It took about 60 minutes to build that index table, during which, dtexec got up to 4.5GB memory usage. (Is there a way to tell what % of the index table got cached in memory? Memory kept rising as each "Finished building X% of fuzzy index" progress event scrolled by all the way up to 100% progress when it peaked at 4.5GB.) The MaxMemoryUsage setting we left blank so it would use as much as possible on this 64-bit box with 16GB of memory (but only about 4GB was available for SSIS).
After it got done building the index table, it started flowing data through the pipeline. We saw the first buffer of ~9,000 rows get passed from the source to the fuzzy lookup transform. Six hours later it had not finished doing the fuzzy lookup on that first buffer!!! Running profiler showed us it was firing off lots of singelton SQL queries doing lookups as expected. So it was making progress, just very, very slowly.
We had set MinSimilarity=0.45 and Exhaustive=False. Those seemed to be reasonable settings for smaller datasets.
Does that performance seem inline with expectations? Any thoughts to improve performance?
I'm working with an existing package that uses the fuzzy lookup transform. The package is currently working; however, I need to add some columns to the lookup columns from the reference table that is being used.
It seems that I am hitting a memory threshold of some sort, as when I add 3 or 4 columns, the package works, but when I add 5 columns, the fuzzy lookup transform fails pre-execute:
Pre-Execute Taking a snapshot of the reference table Taking a snapshot of the reference table Building Fuzzy Match Index component "Fuzzy Lookup Existing Member" (8351) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0x8007007A.
These errors occur regardless of what columns I am attempting to add to the lookup list.
I have tried setting the MaxMemoryUsage custom property of the transform to 0, and to explicit values that should be much more than enough to hold the fuzzy match index (the reference table is only about 3000 rows, and the entire table is stored in less than 2MB of disk space.
Say I want to lookup a value in another dataset, but there is a grouping that requires you to know what the values for each level is in order to get to the correct detail record.  Can you still use the lookup function with more than one field to compare against? So for example
Department \___SalesPerson     \___Measure
I want to be able to add a new row at the Measure level, but lookup each field from another dataset. In order to do that I will need the Department AND SalesPerson values to do the lookup, but I dont think the Lookup function will let us do that will.
Actually this is in regard to SCD Type 2 Dimension, Scenario is like that I am moving Fact table from some old source and I have dimensionA description value in fact which I want to replace with appropriate id from Dimension Table and that Dimension table is SCD Type 2 based on StartDate and EndDate and Fact Table doesn't contains direct date value rather there is timeId in Fact so to update the value in Fact table I have to Join Time Dimension table and other Dimension Table to replace fact Description with proper Id.
I am doing a lookup that requires mapping 2 columns in the column mapping section. When I do this, I get the error "Row yielded no match during lookup" . The SQL that I captured in SQL profiler does find the record when I run it in Management Studio. I have already tried trimming everything to no avail.
Why is this happening?
I tried enabling memory restrictions but then I my package hangs and I get a SQLDUMPER_ERRORLOG.log file with the following logged:
I have a Conditional Split with 3 outputs. On the first output I have a lookup, when I execute the package I have 56 rows going through the Conditional Split, all rows are then going to the 2nd and 3rd output but the lookup on the first output generates an error "Row yielded no match during lookup".
I don't understand why the lookup is generating an error while there is no row going through it.
I am designing a ssis package,This is intends to mine text data(Data extracted from websites). Term lookup/Term extraction has been used as tools for mining. I have lookup terms defined with me for reference table,but the main problem lie in extracting the nearby text/number/charcters to these lookup terms during mining. For example : I found noun "Email" 200 (frequency score) times in my text,Now I want to extract nearby email address(this is also true for PhoneNumber,Address attributes also).so how can I achieve this with SSIS. If u have some idea/suggestion to carry out this challenge with or without Term Extraction/Term Lookup,plz do write here.
One of my client is using AS400 machine and wants to migrate from flat files to SQL server/Oracle. But they do not want to buy a new hardware. They like to use the same machine.
Is there any Emulator or simulator available for AS400 machine to simulate NT or Alpha environment?
I was wondering if anyone could give some insight into the tools or applications needed to utilize a AS400 to query info. from a sql database to gain performance and reliability. I need to know about methods for connection, library changes needed, software etc. Please Help,I do not have much experience with databases.
I try run DTS from SQL with connection to AS400 (Client Access 32-bit ver. 8).I know this should be about 9000 records, but after 5000 records it's stopped.
I have been handed the directive that I am to ftp flat files from our AS400 to the SQL server where the web interfaces will read the data.
I need to know if anyone out here knows how to automate the FTP download from the AS400 system.
I don't know any UNIX and even if I did the SQL box is also running a 3rd party shipping label system that disallows the use/installation of MSK Toolkit.
I thought I could use the FTP Task in the DTS package but I don't know what to put for the internet location and this is certainly not a Mapped path.
I need some help here. I am trying to do a DTS from As400 from SQL Server 2000. However, the file that I require have members. IF I just do a select statement, it will retrieve the earliest member.
Does anyone know how I can access the latest member?
I'm trying to connect SQL SERVER with my AS/400. I linked my as400 with linkedserver.
When I execute a query with analyse query it works fine, but if I make a store procedure as schedule this job to get information from my as400 I got this msg:
Executed as user: NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM. OLE DB provider 'IBMDA400' reported an error. Access denied. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 7399) OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'IBMDA400' IUnknown::QueryInterface returned 0x80070005: Access denied.]. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7300). The step failed.
I have been tring to connect to the as400 through the IBM ODBC (IBMDA400), but have run into a wall. I was wondering, could i set up the 400 in SQL Server 2K as a DB or Table or something and maybe access it through SQLOLEDB?
I had tried this connection before using ODBC to connec to AS400 using the SQL statment "SELECT * FROM TableName1 LEFT JOIN TableName2 ON fieldname1=fieldname2" but Im using the same statement but only one table to be queried and is giving me an error, I use this one :
...
strAs400="DSN=DsnName"
connAS400.Open strAS400,UserID,Password
rsAS400.activeconnection=connAS400 rsAS400.Open "SELECT * FROM TableName1 WHERE fieldDate >=" & RangeDateFr " AND TableName1 <=" & RangeDateTo ,,adopendynamic,adlockoptimistic
...
On the above codes, I dont know what might wrong. It is giving me an error message ...SQL0104 - token fieldDate was not valid. Valid Tokens: FOR WITH FETCH...
Please help if someone knows this. I would appreciate it a lot...
I am migrating from 2000 to 2005 and dts to SSIS on several projects. I have not been able to successfully (without error) pull from an AS400 table using "SELECT *". If I reference all field names, it works fine. SELECT * actually works in the sense that it pulls over all the data, but it fails at the end, almost like an unepected end of stream. Normally it wouldn't be a problem tp qualify each field, but when I do the data gets sorted. In this instance I can't have it sorted because (without going into the stupid details) the production needs to match the development to suit my boss.
Connection = .Net Provider for OleDb/IBM DB2 UDB for iSeries IBMDA400 OLE DB Provider Data Source = DataReader Source (I have yet to be able to use and OLE Source for AS400 without error, although my colleagues can - weird)
Here is the error I get when I change:
SELECT FieldName1, FieldName2, FieldName3 FROM LIBRARY.FILENAME
to
SELECT * FROM LIBRARY.FILENAME

Any suggestions? Is there a property on the task or connection that will fix this? Or any idea why I can't use an OLE Source to pull from AS400?
I have been trying to transfer some data from a file located in a AS400 Server to SQL , but the file has more than one Member Name. I'm not sure how to specify a different member name on the SQL query . Please help.
The name of the file is:
Library = MTGLIBP2
File Name = CHSAVQPL
Member Name = INS
this is the query I have so far but I still need to reference the Member Name
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(AS400PL,'SELECT * FROM mtglibp2.CHSAVQPL')

I am trying to transfer information from the AS400 to SQL Server tables but I am having problems trying to connect and get information from the AS400. In the data source I select the iseries connection and type in the ip address, username, and password. When I click the test connection button, it connects but under the initial catalog all I get is the computer name. If anyone has any solutions to my problem that would be great
I need to query data through SSIS from what I was told is an AS400 DB2 member table. I am assuming this is a sub-table of the main table. I was going to write a correlated sub-query in SQL to get this data, however our AS400 contracted programmer says that there is an easier way and she pointed me to the main table's member. I do not know how to go about accessing this.
Has anybody had experience with this? The AS400 programmer is familiar with SQL syntax, however she does not know how to have SQL grab the data from a member table.
If all else fails, I will just construct my correlated sub-query.
We got a €œSql Server€? and an €œAS400€? System. I can Read the information from the AS400 using a DataReader- Source my problem ist that I can not manage to write in the €œAS400€?. Using a DataReader- Destination I am not able to specify the destination table.
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. The host resource could not be found. Check that the Initial Catalog value matches the host resource name. SQLSTATE: HY000, SQLCODE: -360
I have been asked to make it possible for our SQL 7 server to pull infromation from AS/400 and utilize it in web applications, and such. Is there any way of doing this? I have heard that you can export the data on the as400 to a DB2 file, and import it with SQL. Is this the only way of access info off of the 400?
I am trying to link SQL2000 to AS400. I have created the link and can access the data on the Server, but when I try to access from a client I get the following error:
Error 7399: OLE DB Provider 'MSDASQL' Reported an error. Data Source Name not found and no default driver specified.
Has anyone run into this and if so does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Hello...Our company has been on an AS400 for eternity. We have chosen a new erp package called Syteline 7 which runs on 5 servers on of them being a SQl server. I currently have 1 IT person on staf now. Can anyone tell me what my workload for my one IT person maintaining these 5 servers be? I would have 35 users and 50 PC's in total.....also does anyone have any negative comment about Syteline 7?Thanks
I am presently using Client Access ODBC driver (32-bit) to connect to the AS400. I have set up a linked server that enables me to run queries against the AS400 using the driver. However I seek to have a driver that could give better performance. Right now I can extract 6 million rows from the AS400 table in like 2 hrs. Now is there an ODBC driver that can do better than that? Also I seek an evaluation edition of the driver if possible. Moreover I am the only developer and so a single user license is what I can have my supervisor budget.
Hi,Is there anyway to connect to AS400 table (something like link table feature in MS Access). OR. I have to use the DTS package and schedule it to update in intervals, this i am not preferring due to the performance issue ? your help highly appreciate thanksMurali.
