I have flat file source from which data is imported to a Sql table.The target column is int and input column is string .The column has some numeric values and some blank values.when I tried to convert into int values it fails.
View 7 RepliesHello All,
Can someone help me out in providing the STEPS to solve this problem. My scneario is, I've a table which has got 2 fields and 5 default row values have been filled in. Now, using the above, duirng package runtime, it need to dynamically create additional field and has to store values like for.e.g (0001 America). I'm getting the following error while executing the ssis package.
1. [DTS.Pipeline] Warning: Component "Derived Column" (1170) has been removed from the Data Flow task because its output is not used and its inputs have no side effects. If the component is required, then the HasSideEffects property on at least one of its inputs should be set to true, or its output should be connected to something.
2. [DTS.Pipeline] Warning: Source "OLE DB Source Output" (87) will not be read because none of its data ever becomes visible outside the Data Flow Task.
Please suggest with your valuable solution at the earliest.
Thanks

I have my first SSIS package almost working, but I'm having an odd problem and can't find any information to help resolve it.
I'm importing from a flat file (csv) to an existing table (append). I've got a Derived Column transformation in the middle to do some data cleanup. It's all working except for one little problem...
One of the transformations is 'REPLACE([Column 3],"^","; ")', output to a new column. (The input file has a field that uses carets as delimiters between an unknown number of items; I'm changing that to semicolons for easier reading.) Not all rows have data in this column, some will have one item, some will have multiple items.
The REPLACE works except that it fills in repeated data for all the blank rows.
Example:
Incoming data is:
1 Smith,Jane^Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3
4 Adams,James^Adams,Jim
5
6 White,Debra
Data inserted into the table is:
1 Smith,Jane; Jones,Jane
2 Brown,John
3 Brown,John
4 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
5 Adams,James; Adams,Jim
6 White,Debra
I've tried to use a Conditional to skip the empty rows, but I can't get that working at all (get syntax errors no matter what I put in).
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be most appreciated!
Thank you.
I am trying to put the following as an expression in the SSIS Derived Column Transformation Editor.
DATEADD(DAY, DATEDIFF(DAY, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
It is not allowing it. This works fine in a regular SQL statement.
Does anyone know how I can get this to work?
i have too many DTS packages to migrate to SSIS, and while examining a DTS package in BIDS (converted with the migration utility) i tried to edit the resulting migrated package, which opened the DTS interface with the two connection icons joined by the big fat arrow with a gear on it...not exactly what i had in mind, iow, it looks like SSIS on the outside, but its still DTS on the inside.
So I stripped out a series of components from a more complex package hoping that simplifying it would reveal the contents of old DTS Transformations tab at least partially set up in a Derived Column transformation.
Can i get there from here, or must i recreate every stinking definition in a derived column manually from the ground up?
thanks very much for your help
Hi
I'm a relative SQL Server newbee and have developed a function that converts mm/dd/yyyy to yyy/mm/dd for use as in a DT_DBDATE format for insert into a column with smalldatatime.
I receive the following erros when using the function in the Derived Column Transformation Editor. First, the function, then the error when using it as the expression Derived Column Transformation Editor.
Can anyone explain how I can do this transformation work in this context or suggest a way either do the transformation easier or avoid it altogerher?
Thanks for the look see...

how to declare multiple derived columns in SSIS Derived Column Task in one attempt.as i have around 150 columns coming from Flat file. I had created the required Expression in Excel and now i want add those in derived column task but its allowing only 1 expression at a time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have dates in "mmddyy" format coming from the sources and they are older dates of mid 80s like 082580 for instance.
When I cast it this way (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) Source_Date , It says ok but throws a runtime error.
When I hardcode a date in same format, (DT_DBTIMESTAMP) "082580" , It becomes red (an indication of syntax error) . Please note that we use double quotes in expressions in Derived Column Transformation; So an anticipation that using double quotes over single ones would be the syntax problem would be wrong.
Any help in this will sincerely be appreciated.
Thanks
that violates the targets referential integrity?I am getting error Msg 2601, Level 14, State 1, Line 1Cannot insert duplicate key row in object XXX with unique index YYY.The statement has been terminated.I would like to know if there is a way to examine or determine what source rows are not conforming to the unique index.I'm fine with dropping and reestablishing the index, and i know its cataloged somewhere because during index creation, the error message does tell you the row details clobbering index creation. Ideally i would like to be able to trap all the failing rows and see what i can do about rehabilitating them or ignoring them or managing them some other way, but id like to know what the server knows when it will not create the index.

I m designing SSIS having Data Flow as
Flat File > Derived Column Transformation > Destination Table
but while transfering record from text file to table i need some logic here
my text file is
"ID"|"Name"
1012|"10AA"
1013|"10BB"
logic is 10 should be replace by variable VID = 98
I defined this veriable as int
My ID column in database is int and Name column is varchar(50)
I try here expression like
ID != 98 ? @[User::VID] : ID
it work fine
but for varchar column I am not able to do
I got error when i write expression
SUBSTRING(Name,1,2) != "98" ? [DT_STR, 50, 1252] "(@[User::VID])" + rest of value of column : [Name]
my final output in table should be like
ID..Name
98..98AA
98..98BB
Please help me out
T.I.A
I have this expression
(Registered_Units == Limited_Units) ? 0 : (Painted_Units / (Registered_Units - Limited_Units)) * 100)
It gives me 0.00, although those 3 columns have values.
if I cast it like this
(Registered_Units == Limited_Units) ? 0 : ((((DT_DECIMAL,2)Painted_Units) / ((DT_DECIMAL,2) (Registered_Units - Limited_Units))) * 100)
It gives me correct answer in whole number but .00 after decimal.
Any clue how to fix it ?
Hello.
I am using Derived Column transformation for calculating the age of individual and then adding the column to my final destination. In SQL, the DOB is varchar(50) and the output column I am creating should be Integer.
Here is the expression I am using for calculating the age:
(DATEDIFF("DAY",(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)TRIM(DOB),(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)TRIM([Service Date])) / 365.25)
In SQL, I have no problems getting the age of a person, but I am having difficulties using Derived Column Transformation.
I get the following error when executing my package:
Error: 0xC0049067 at Data Flow Task, Derived Column [2086]: An error occurred while evaluating the function.Error: 0xC0209029 at Data Flow Task, Derived Column [2086]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "component "Derived Column" (2086)" failed because error code 0xC0049067 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "_AGE" (2877)" 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.

Greetings, I am attempting to create a flat file delimited by |. I am using (ISNULL(LIN1_OPT_ADDR) ? "" : LIN1_OPT_ADDR + "| ") to replace the blank address column with the pipe delimiter. So that a row that would consist of:
Customer Number,Name,Address Line1,City,State
12345,ACE HARDWARE INC. ,801 Rockefeller St.,New York, New York
56789,BUILDING SUPPLY INC., ,Wichita, Kansas
Should end up as:
12345|ACE HARDWARE INC.|801 Rockefeller St.|NEW YORK|NEW YORK
56789|BUILDING SUPPLY INC.||Wichita|Kansas
When I run the data flow to create the flat file the file contains the following:
12345|ACE HARDWARE INC.|801 Rockefeller St.|NEW YORK|NEW YORK
56789|BUILDING SUPPLY INC.| | |Wichita|Kansas
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I am trying to change the value from "T" to "A" in trans_type column based on the value in Transfer_of_Provider column..
I like to change "T" to "A" if the value of Transfer_of_provider column is "Y".
"Transfer_of_provider" coulmn has NULL value..
I've used the below logic to do that... but becuase of NULL value in "Transfer_of_provider" column .. it keep giving me a truncation error..
TRans_type = (ISNULL(Transfer_Of_Provider) ? "N" : Transfer_Of_Provider) == "Y" ? "'T" : "A"
How can I make this work?
Can i call the FUNCTION within another FUNCTION
Like SUBSTRING(CHECK_NO,2,LEN(CHECK_NO) - 1) ???
I am reading the Check_No "1234321" from the flat file. The file holds all the value within double quote and values are sepearated by comma.
Objective: I am trying to elimiate the double quote using "Dervied Column'.
Strange: The above FUNCTION is working fine while construct the SQL Query.
Pls help me. Thank you.
Hi all€”Given a date field called [Reading Date] and a time field called [Reading Time], I am attempting to use the following transformation on the field to test for nulls and combine the data into a single field called [Reading Date/Time]:

(DT_DBDATE)GETDATE() : (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],5,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],7,2) + "/" + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],1,4) + " " + SUBSTRING((DT_WSTR,8)[Reading Date],1,8))
I get the following error:
Error at Data Flow Task [Derived Column1[177]]: Attempt to parse the expression "(DT_WSTR)([Reading Date]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Date]) || (DT_WSTR)([Reading Time]== "") || ISNULL([Reading Time])?

Hi.
I am using the following expression to check if the first charcter of a string is not the letter "E" and if it is, strip it off by selecting the remainder of the string:
SUBSTRING([Derv.comno],1,1) == "E" ? SUBSTRING([Derv.comno],2,10) : [Derv.comno]
This is ok in 99.9% of cases, but ideally I would like to be able to check, and alter the string if the first charcter is anything but numeric
I had something like this in mind:
SUBSTRING([Derv.comno],1,1) != ("1","2","3") ? SUBSTRING([Derv.comno],2,10) : [Derv.comno]
but the syntax is incorrect.
Could you tell me if what I am attempting is actually possible, and if so, point me in the right direction regarding the syntax!
Thanks

I'm having trouble coming up with a valid expression in my derived column transformation editor that tests the input column for NULL and responds something like this:
if[message] isNull then "NA" else [message]

Thanks!
My derived column transformation with a user variable expression displays the user variable's default and not its assignned value.
Background: I built a script component that seems to effectively assign a new value to a user variable. I use local variables within the component, make the assignment in the PostExecute subroutine, and check by writing the user variable to a messagebox there.
In the derived column transformation I create a new column and insert the user variable in its expression field, add a data viewer, and send it to a data destination. The data viewer shows the user variable default and not the assignned value.
I replaced the user variable with a system variable in the expression field and that works fine.
Have folks successfully used this scenario before? Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi All
I've got a flatfile which contains a column SALEDATE with this data
20070802
''
20070804
''
20070805
20070901
I've got a table with a column SALEDATE datetime.
I use a derived column with this expression
SALEDATE <add as new column> (DT_DBDATE)(SUBSTRING(SaleDate,1,4) + "-" + SUBSTRING(SaleDate,5,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(SaleDate,7,2)) database date [DT_DBDATE]
This expression fails whenever it comes across a blank field.
How can evaluate my expression to insert a null if it comes across a blank field?
Thank You

I am trying to pass a variable set by a Row count transformation to a derived column transformation. There are actually three separate Row Count transformations storing to different variables. In the derived column trans. the expression i am using is @[User::ClientCount] and the variable type is Int32 and I am passing it to an I4 database column. After the derived column trans. all rows just come out with 0s in the row count columns. Does anyone know why this would be? Please let me know if you need more information.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a package that fails as soon as it hits the first Data Flow that contains a Derived Column task. The task takes three date columns and looks for a date of 6/6/2079. If it is there, it is replaced with a NULL. This task worked fine until I installed the Non-CTP version of SQL 2005 SP1, earlier today. (I went from RTM 9.0.1399 to SP1 9.0.2047)Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is the error I am trapping:
An error occurred while evaluating the function.

The ProcessInput method on component "Update Max Date Value to NULL" (346) failed with error code 0xC0209029. 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.
Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0209029.
I tried to configure the error output to ignore the failure. The task succeeded. It did not insert anything, however, for the three columns in question. It then failed on the next Data Flow that contained a Derived Column task. I tried to pre-populate the columns with a default date, but no go. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm importing a csv-file delimited with semicolons. Firstly I LTRIM the columns "in place" and the data imports fine. All the numbers in right columns in the target table. Then I add another Derived Colum Transformation to replace decimal character comma (,) to a dot (.) in order to convert the string/varchar value to numeric. But here I run into trouble. Running the task ends in success but the result in the target table (same as above) is not. All the commas are now dots as expected but what is worse is that SSIS have added values in cells that should not be there. I get values in cells that shoud be empty!
Shortly: Only LTRIM([Column1]) as expression and "Derived Column" as Replace 'Column1' works OK.
But adding REPLACE-expression (i.e REPLACE(LTRIM([Column1]) , "," , ".") to this breaks things up
I'm aware that I could do this with SQL but this is not the point...
Any ideas?

I have the following 2 fields that are sourced from an Excel spreadsheet
DocNumber - a 10 digit number
PostingRow - a number between 1 and 999
I would like to produce a new column that is a concatenation of these two fields, but the PostingRow needs to be a 3 digit number eg. 1000256153-001 ....
I am task with identifying the source database name, id, and server name for each staging table that I create. I need to add this to a derived column on all staging tables created from merging same tables on different servers together.
When doing a Merge Join, there is no way to identify the source of data so I would like to see if data came from one database more than the other servers or if their are duplicates across servers.
The thing that bugs me about SSIS Data Flow task is there is no way to do an easy Execute SQL Task after I select my ADO.NET Source to get this information because my connection string is dynamic and there is no way of know which data source is being picked up at runtime.
For Example I have Products table on Server 1 and 2:
Server 2 has more Products and would like to join the two together to create a staging table.
I want see the following:
Product ID, Product Name, Qty, Src_DB_ID, Src_DB_Name, Src_Server_Name
1 IPAD 1000 2, MyDB1, Server1
100 ASUS Pad 40 1, YourDB, Server2
get database name and server name in DATA FLOW only (without using a for each in Control Flow)
I'm having trouble converting a date in the format of:
Jan 11 2006 12:00:00:000AM
to a smalldatetime in my new SSIS package. I'm trying the derived column transformation, but I'm at a wall now, especially with the conversion of 'Jan' string to integer/month/value of 1. Anyone have experience/advice on this transformation?
What happened to the DateTime String transformation in SQL 2000? Was that too unpopular to move to integration services? That transformation saved my butt many times - every banks' data feed we import uses a different date format.
Thanks in advance for any advice/help!

Hi,
I am trying to upload a csv file into a destination SQL Server table using Data FLow objects in MS SQL Server 2005 SSIS. My destination table X has a date column while my source data file (for which i have a flat file connection) does not have a date column. I created a Derived column for date using the system date function in my Source data object and ran the package but it returned errors. I changed the data type of the derived column but I still get errors.
is there any other way i can get the date on the fly i.e generate a date for the incoming source file and map that (insert into) to the destination table ?
Thanks.
