I have a situation where I want to map a column from a flat file to TWO columns in a table.
However, in the mappings tab, you can only select the "Input Column" once. Once a column has been used, it no longer appears in the drop down list.
I am wondering if there's a way to override this behavior, and if not, what is the best way to handle this type of situation?
I have added an EXECUTE SQL task to update the second column with the inserted column values, but I would like to know if the default mapping behavior can be changed, as it seems so limited.
Now, i have a SQL Server database called "EmployeeDB" which has 2 tables "TblEmp1", "TblEmp2". The Table is like this.
TblEmp1 : Columns EmpName EmpDept EmpjoinDate
TblEmp2 : Columns EName EDate Edept
using integration services (SSIS) i need code(vb.net or c#) to Create a dtsx package so that i can push the flat file content to these 2 tables. And the condition is :
After Executing the package Data loaded in TblEmp1 should be like this
Now, i know that we need to do like this in wizard 1) Create a flat file source component. 2) Create flat file connection and set the properties of flat file (delimeters and other things) 3) Create a Multicast Component. 4) Create a Path between Flat file source and Multicast. 5) Create 2 destination component(each for a table). 6) Create path from multicast to 2 destination components 7) Create a OledbConnection and set table names for 2 destination components.. 7) Now,i have to do mapping for destination1.8) Now, i have to do mapping for destination2( this mapping will be different from mapping done for destination1 because iam not inserting the data in the same order in which iam doing for TBLEmp1.
I have done it in wizard.I need to do it through code and i know that its not complicated.Please find the attached file with this mail.i have attached a screen shot of how i have done in wizard.The main problem is Mapping differently for 2 destinations from source.for 1st one we can have a forloop for mapping.but for 2nd one iam confused!!
OLE DB source which calls a stored proc that returns a result set
data conversion
Excel destination I am in design mode in Business Intelligence studio. My excel destination (with an Excel Connection) shows no sheet name though I have an execute SQL task before the data flow to create the excel table called SHEET1. Needless to say, there are no output columns visible to do any mappings. I did go to the ExcelConnection to set the OpenRowset Property to SHEET1 but it seems to have no effect.
I can do the export in SQL Server Management studio and that works fine, but it is basic and does not meet my requirements. I have to customize the package to allow dynamic Excel filenames based on account names and have to split my result set into multiple excel sheets because excel 2003 has a max of 65536 rows per sheet. Also when I use the export wizard, I have the source as a table and eventually the source has to be a stored proc with input parms.
What am I missing or doing wrong? Thanks in advance
Is it possible to get information of the mappings availabe in the packages?, like the column mappings in the OLE Destination control, column mappings in the merge join control etc.,. I want the information of source and destination in the mappings(name of the DB, table). I want that to be in some file like excel file. Inform me is there a way to get it?
Is it normal that my scd loses its mappings if I change one of its inputs?
When I talk about mappings, I talk about the first page of the scd wizard. I set everything (all the columns, business keys) and run the wizard until the last step. SCD creates two outputs (Changed and New Rows). All Ok.
If a column I use as input in the scd changes (for example, it is not a conversion column any more but a derived with the same name), my scd loses all the mappings!
It is very annoying since I have to map all of the columns again. Is this a normal behaviour of the scd or I' doing something wrong? Is there a way to 'repair' my mappings without needing to set one column at the time every time?
1.After creating pacakages what i am concerned about is that when i move then to different locations do they work just the same as the had been.
2.About the mapping with in the components like lookups,and the variable with in conditional split or etc....do they get disturbed with any change in the location of the textfiles or anything of this kind of location change.
3.Is is adviceable transforming 5 to 6 text file with in one package in parallel
Is it possible to save column mapping definitions from a Transform Data Task? The practical use is I have four tables with very similar layouts of which 200 or so columns are identical. I have various front and back office applications that require local copies of this data in various formats. It is EXTREMELY tedious to remap all of the columns for each Transform Data Task required on these applications.
Is there a way to store all of the column mapping def's and import them into a new transform data task?
My need is to load data from flat files to SQL tables. All the flat files are different. For convenience flat file name and table name is similar. I have placed a For loop container and in which I used SCRIPT TASK to read the file names from the specified folder and i populated this value to SSIS variable. All my flat file name and destination table name are given using this Script task. For the first run it executes perfectly, but for the second run it fails. The reason is due to the flat file connection manager. The file name is changed since it is taken care by my script, but the columns are not mapped it still have the previous file's columns. I do not know how to solve this.
Please tell me if there is any other way to solve this or i need to refine my process.
Actually i have more than 100 files and so i am trying to do it at one short rather than creating individual packages.
I have SSIS packages with the usual: source, destination, and mappings between the two. How can I export these mappings to, say, Excel / Word for documentation purposes?
hi - I am totally new to SSIS etc and SQL 2005. I have a dts task to recreate in SSIS. I have done most of them and muddled my way through, but this basic problem has got me stuck. When mapping columns from my file to my ole db output table, I want to map one input column onto two output columns, but it will only seem to let me select one destination column for each input? I have tried shift/alt/ctrl etc to try to get it to map to both columns but it wont have it. How do I do it?
Also, somehow my Dataflow Sources tab has gone from the toolbox, and I can't seem to get it back any way - I switched on everything I could see and all components etc, but it is not in there as an option. How do I get it back in the toolbox?
I want to retrive the output in a single SQL query.
I had two columns in a table; I used some values of column1 in column2. I want to identify all the column1 vlaues in Left Hand side and column2 values in Right Hand side, with a single query.
example:
MasterTable
ParentRow ChildRow --------- -------- A B C D E F G C H E M G
Output required:
ParentRow ChildRow --------- -------- A B C D E F G D (C mapped tfrom D) H F M D (G mapped from C, and C mapped from D)
To get the above output, I written query using WHILE...[BREAK|CONTINUE] concept until I get @@rowcount become zero.
I am looking for better performace and to get the output in a single query, instead of multiple passes.
Can any one suggest good tools and articles on performance tuning techniques?
Has anyone done this? I can't find anything in the documentation that describes this. The closest I get is to the InnerObject property of the TaskHost class. There is an example of programming a bulk insert task. But I can't find anything on programmatically setting the column mappings (source to dest) of a simple data flow task. Any help is appreciated!
I have flat file (comma delimited) with 200 columns, and i want to import this to sql table using SSIS package, I create a Flat file source and sql server destination items from tool box. in destination item, i can not see the preview, for some reason, it is not reading the rows from source, Do I have to manually each and every column from source to destination under mapping tabl in destination item.
I am getting the error "The required .svc handler mappings are not installed in IIS" in the Master Data Services Configuration Manager. I am running the configuration tool as administrator on a domain joined machine using a domain user account (which is also a member of the local Administrators group).
My configuration is as follows: Windows 8 SQL Server 2012 RTM + CU 2 (build 11.0.2325).
All required prerequisites should be installed in IIS.I have reviewed this issue:Â URL...
I am a bit confused for the model evaluation (lift chart), should we map all the columns for both the mining structure and the case table? I mean for those predictive models, we have a predict column, shouldnt we ignore the mapping of the predictive column between the mining structure and the case table? But it seemes we are not allowed to miss the predictive column mapping between the mining structure and the case table.
Why is that? Could any experts here give me some explanation on that?
Hope my question is clear for your help.
Thanks a lot and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
I get the following error when I try to navigate to a report/model/data source, stored in a Sharepoint Document Library using a Sharepoint URL based on an Extranet or Intranet zone - but it works OK using the url for the Default zone:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The specified path refers to a SharePoint zone that is not supported. The default zone path must be used. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.SecurityZoneNotSupportedException: The specified path refers to a SharePoint zone that is not supported. The default zone path must be used.
Is this a limitation of the SQLRS-WSS3 integration or is there a workaround?
I am trying to find a way within SSIS either automatically or manually/programmatically to allow an application to call the SSIS package for ETL and output the results to a destination specified 'on the fly' by the application.
I searched, but couldn't find anything to match what I am looking for...
Basically, is there any way to tell DTS to create a new table each time that the backup is run? I am scheduling the backup for 1 hour intervals for 5 days, but need the databases that are backed up to be unique, so i would end up wiht 120 of them total.
Is there any way to do this through DTS? Or am I hosed?
I am using the SCD task, and noticed that the OLE DB Destination it generates does a "SELECT * FROM" from the destination table when i run my package (found this in trace). Now if this happens on a 20 000000 row destination table with computed fields on it, a lot of resources are wasted. Is there a way around this behaviour i.e. no select is done for the insert destination?
I am making good progress with my ssis package. However, there is one new thing which I cannot graps yet. That is, how to use variables when I want to update or insert a new row. I have some columns in my tables that require the datetime that the update/insert occured, the person making the change, and a few other things that are not part of the incoming data source (an excel file).
I created some user variables for these things, but I cannot figure out how to use them with my OLE DB Command and OLE DB Destination. One handles Inserts and the other handles the Updates based on whether a row in the Excel file is new (an Insert) or already exists (an update). Along with the insert or update, I'd like to set the Lastupdate, Who, etc.
[SQL Server Destination [16]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "Could not bulk load because SSIS file mapping object 'GlobalDTSQLIMPORT ' could not be opened. Operating system error code 2(The system cannot find the file specified.). Make sure you are accessing a local server via Windows security.".
I'm trying to do a simple upload to a production server from an Access mdb of the kind I used to do routinely in DTS. Any ideas?
when loading the transformed data into OLE DB destination, there is no options to truncate destination table first. Have to insert a middle step to run script to truncate the destination table first.
I'm very confused. We even has the options of keeping or deleting the data in destination table in SQL2000 DTS package. Why we don't have this option in SQL2005??
Does an empty file (text/ Excel) needs to be created manually for the connection manager for (text/excel)destinations. Can I create the file at run time?????
I have an OLE DB destination which should insert data into a table named in an SSIS variable. When I run the package, I don't get any errors and I have a data viewer which shows that the data is reaching the OLE DB destination. However, the data isn't being inserted into the destination table.
Can someone suggest how I should go about debugging this?
