SQL ServerDestination Error - Unable To Prepare The SSIS Bulk Insert For Data Insertion.
Jan 15, 2008
Having searched the forum, this one clearly has form... However beyond assisting those who have fallen at the first hurdle (i.e. forgetting/not knowing that they cannot execute the package remotely to the instance of SQL Server into which they are inserting), the issues raised by others have not been addressed. Thus I am bringing nothing new to the table here - just providing an executive summary of problems which others have run into, written about, but not received answers for.
First the complete error:
Description: Unable to prepare the SSIS bulk insert for data insertion. End Error Error: 2008-01-15 04:55:27.58 Code: 0xC004701A Source: <xxx> DTS.Pipeline Description: component "<xxx> failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202071. End Error DTExec: The package execution returned DTSER_FAILURE (1). Started: 4:53:34 AM Finished: 5:00:00 AM Elapsed: 385.384 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.
Important points
It mostly works - It produces no error more than 9 times out of 10.
It fails on random dataflows - My package has several dataflows, (mostly) executing concurrently. Where the error occurs it does not do so on the same dataflow each time: on one run it'll fail on dataflow A whilst B,C,D and E succeed, then A-E will all succeed (and continue doing so for the next ten runs thereafter), and then the error recurs for dataflow D, with A,B,C and E all succeeding.
Hope someone has something interesting to say,
I am using SQL Server Destinations in my data flow tasks. I'm running this package in the server until i encountered this error:

The ProcessInput method on component "Dim_T_ISISDefect" (56280) failed with error code 0xC0202071. 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.
What could be the reason for this? I don't usually have an error.
I ran my package and it was successfu. I tried running it again, but this time it throws me this error:
Dim_T_Account [56575]: Unable to prepare the SSIS bulk insert for data insertion.
Error: 0xC004701A at CallerType, CallerChannel, Dealer, DODealer, HotlineType, Model, Reg'l Signal Code, Account, Contact, DTS.Pipeline: component "Dim_T_Account" (56575) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202071.

Why suddenly without changing anything, i encountered this error? What does it mean it cannot prepare the SSIS bulk insert. My connection to server is working ok.
I'm trying to use Bulk insert for the first time and getting the following error. I think it might have something to do with my Format File and from the error msg there's a conversion error for the first column. In my database the Field is nvarchar(6) so my best guess is to use SQLNChar for the first column. I've checked the end of each line is CR LF therefore the is correct for line 7 right?
Msg 4863, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Bulk load data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 1 (ASXCode).

im trying to do a bulk insert & am getting the following error .
An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.Bulk load: An unexpected end of file was encountered in the data file.Bulk load data conversion error (type mismatch or invalid character for the specified codepage) for row 1, column 3 (calling_natr_addr_ind).".
i have set the connectn timeout to 0, but the error persists.
Hello, I am trying to use the Import export wizard to created a package, using the provide source query option. If i just copy the query from a text file and try to paste , sql only accepts it partially. so i saved it as a sql file and then opened it in the window. However, when i click on 'next' or 'parse' , i get the below error.
TITLE: SQL Server Import and Export Wizard
------------------------------ The statement could not be parsed.
------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Deferred prepare could not be completed. Query timeout expired (Microsoft SQL Native Client)
The query is pretty big, but it executes successfully in the Management Studion Query Explorer window. I had no problem creating a package using DTS with the same query in Sql 2000. I also tried to migrate the package already existing in Sql 2000, but even though i can migrate it successfully , the package does not execute in Sql 2005. Also i tried other queries which are as big as this one, again the query source window during import/export does not seem to accept large queries??? I depend heavily on large queries for my packages, which i run daily. I have not had any issues with this is sql 2000. Can someone help me with this???
I have am having some issues bulk inserting from a flat file (CSV) to the database. I have also tried this by using the import and export wizard and get the following error:
I dont understand what the issue. The table that i have created looks like this:
CREATE TABLE IderaPatchAnalyzer ( IP_Adresse varchar(64) NOT NULL, Release_ varchar(50) NOT NULL, Level_ varchar(50)NOT NULL, Edition_ varchar(50) NOT NULL,
[Code] .....
I have in the changed the outputcolumnwidth in Ip_Adresse to 64. The length of the cells are not near 50 however i want it to be sure that its not the case. When I try to do the same in my SSIS project, i also get an error. I do get a warning: Truncation may occur due to inserting data from data flow column """"KB Available""" with a length o..... in that column there are max 5 varchar: "yes" and "no". The """"KB Available""" is the column name in the flat file (CSV), I have made checkmark in Column names in the first data row.
I have used the following guide for my SSIS project:
I have an SSIS Package which is designed to import log files. Basically, it loops through a directory, parses text from the log files, and dumps it to the database. The issue I'm having is not with the package reading the files, but when it attempts to write the information to the db. What I'm seeing is that it will hit a file, read 3000 some lines, convert them (using the Data Conversion component), and then "hang" when it tries to write it to the db.
I've run the SQL Server Profiler, and had originally thought that the issue had to do with the collation. I was seeing every char column with the word "collate" next to it. On the other hand, while looking at the Windows performance monitor, I see that the disk queue is maxed at 100% for about a minute after importing just one log file.
I'm not sure if this is due to the size of the db, and having to update a clustered index, or not.
The machine where this is all taking place has 2 arrays- both RAID 10. Each array is 600 GB, and consists of 8 disks. The SSIS package is being executed locally using BIDS.
My colleague is working on bulk insert task from SSIS and since the data file does not contain any valid delimeter one of the suggestion he got is to use a file format to address the issue. Thus a bcp command is used to generate the format file, as per below.
The file file format was generated, from the data flow we added the BULK INSERT task and set the properties accordingly including the File Format and location of the file. Upon running the task itself we encountered the error as per below.
[Bulk Insert Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot bulk load. The file "C:HFISTAT.fmt" does not exist.".
Progress: The Bulk Insert task is completed. - 100 percent complete
Task Bulk Insert Task failed
Have checked the file and it is in C: drive and it is not protected or read-only. Validated the output file and it is as per expected. Any help would be appreciated very much.
I receive the following error message when I try to use the Bulk Insert Task to load BCP data into a table:
Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 4. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.Bulk load data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 1 (rowno).".
Task failed: Bulk Insert Task
In SSMS I am able to issue the following command and the data loads into a TableName table with no error messages: BULK INSERT TableName FROM 'C:DataDbTableName.bcp' WITH (DATAFILETYPE='widenative');
What configuration is required for the Bulk Insert Task in SSIS to make the data load? BTW - the TableName.bcp file is bulk copy file as bcp widenative data type. The properties of the Bulk Insert Task are the following: DataFileType: DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_WideNative RowTerminator: {CR}{LF}
Any help getting the bcp file to load would be appreciated. Let me know if you require any other information, thanks for all your help. Paul
"Bulk insert data conversion error (truncation) for row 1, column 1 (id)."
when you get the error above or similar in sql server 2000 does it continue inserting the data by truncating it or does it stop beacause looking at the data that i have got it seems to continue inserting the data but just truncates the colunm. i have tried it several time its seeems to be consistent.
I have data that has white spaces after the actual data e.g. '00093 ' hence i am happy aslong as i can be sure that it does always continue as i will be loading alot of data using a similar process.
hence my question is that will it load all the data all the time and just truncate it to fit the column size?
Hi, I am working on an application that is to read a large number of XML files, take out specific values from each file, and store these in a SQL server so that reports can be generated from these values. There are some 15-20,000 files for each month of the year. I am OK with parsing the files and getting the fields that I need but I don't want to insert one record at a time as I parse the files. I was told that I can create a .exe file that parses the xml files and stores the required values in a csv file and use these csv files to initiate a bulk insert, using Business Intelligence Studio. I have not been able to find any info or article on how to do this. Any help on how I can accomplish this, or alternate solutions is greatly appreciated.
I am using 'OLE DB Destination' task in a data flow. When I select 'Table or view - fast load', check 'Table lock' and 'Check constraints' and run the flow, I get only one row inserted. The data flow edge shows hundreds of thousands of rows flowing to destination and the task completes (turns green).
The problem goes away if I uncheck bulk load (e.g., select 'Table or view').
Is fast load using bulk insert or some internal code?
I am using SSIS (2005) to insert records into a sql2k database and getting error:
The selected connection manager uses an earlier version of a SQL Server provider. Bulk insert operations require a connection that uses a SQL Server 2005 Provider.
Using the Bulk Insert Control Flow object is not an option because it requires the file be on the 2000 server and I am not able to create temporary tables on the 2005 server (some nutty security lockdown).
HI friends, I am retrieving oracle data(linked server) to my local sql server 2005. Initially I want to have duplicate copy of the oracle data to my local server. I have created linked server and inserting to my local table(exact replica). This will run for every 2 minutes(as per my client requirement) to get newly added records. But, I want to retrieve specific columns from the replicated table and insert into other local tables. i have written a SP to do this. some columns are storing in other tables to maintain normalization. this should also run for every two minutes. I have written a class (c#) to retrieve replica table and passing parameters to SP and inserting to my local tables in normalized form. But this is taking 10 minutes to complete my process to insert 1500 records. but my client insist to reduce the speed to run for every 2 mins. is it correct way wat i am doing? or any other solution is there? pls suggest me. thanks in advance
Hi guys iam working on Sales Force Automation Application in which i have a senario where i create team (base table) and team users (child table) one team can have many users and so user can be in one or more team. My question is what will be the best practise (performance wise) to add let suppose 100 users in a team in one go for example user can create of any number users present in the user list or How to insert bulk of records in child table .>> iam using sql server 2000 +Asp.net 2005 (c#)
Happy 2008!!!! I am inserting data into a tab delimted text file using SSIS package. After data insetion some extra tabs get added between columns in some rows in the text file. Can we programmatically delete the extra tabs from the text file, if so how to use/implement the code inside the SSIS package? Any pointer/suggestions are welcome.
I would like to get the rowcount from a bulk insert task to validate that all the data is being inserted correctly. So far the only way that I can see this being done is through a trigger on the target tables. I would like to have this information inside the DTS package. Can anyone help me?
I have a confusion with Bulk Insert task for several days. Here is what Books Online say, which i totally understand--- "The source file that the Bulk Insert task loads can be on the same server as the SQL Server database into which data is inserted, or on a remote server. If the file is on a remote server, you must specify the file name using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) name in the path."
Now, If my Bulk Insert task (within a package) is on one server, say ETL ( so when i run the package, it will run from ETL server); but, My destination table where data will be inserted, is in another server, say PROD. So, My OLEDB connection will be pointing to a remote server .Now, If my text file is on ETL server, do i have to give UNC path?..Or If i have text file on the same server as my destination ( here PROD) do i Have to Give UNC naming?. I found in several places that Bulk insert Task runs on that server where its connections points to. My scnerio: I have multiple SSIS packages. Now These packages will be on ETL server, but all the databases will be hosted on PROD server. Now for my Bulk Insert , I asked them to keep all flat file on ETL server(where packages will be ). Looks like this will give me a problem later, since all my Destination will be on PROD server, during bulk insert , sql server will go and look for those files on PROD server rather than ETL server? Or i AM confused here?...... Say package.dtsx is On SER1which useses bulk insert tasks.. My OLEDB connection is SERV2 database B and Table T Now my flat file connection is D:myfilefile.txt
Now when i run this task where does these txt file will be pulled from. Does it pulls from local server (SER1) or does it goes to SERV2 looking for txt file.
I tried several combinations of moving files to different servers, yet i have no conclusions.
I have created an SSIS package, in my VS2005 solution, that Bulk Inserts a CSV file (see example below) "100",2006-10-03 00:00:00,"HEX012",1"101",2006-10-03 00:00:00,"DS00130",1
I have a Bulk Insert Task that uses a Flat File Connection Manager to import my CSV file into my SQL2005 database. My source CSV file (see example above), has double quatation marks surrounding any text fileds. I have set the Flat File Connection Manager's 'Text Qualifier' to double quatation marks. The Bulk Insert works ok, but ignores the Text Qualifier. My database table is left with the original quatation marks in any text field. Any help appreciated. Regards, Paul.
I am looking high and low for some assistance with developing a VB .NET solution that I programmatically create a package and add tasks. I am adding a BULK INSERT task to load large FLAT TEXT files into SQL Server 2005 tables. When I execute the application I execute a package validation and it always returns FAILURE. I have been reading and searching like crazy and I have bought 2 microsoft books, TO NO AVAIL! Can anyone PLEASE help me with this. Thank you!
I'm just learning SSIS and I've hit my first bump. I am doing a bulk import from a tab delimited text file to an empty sql table that has a Idendity column defined. How do I tell the bulk insert task to skip that column when inserting from the text file. If I remove the identity column it imports the data fine, but I want to create the indentity column in the table too.
I have two SSIS packages that import from the same flat file into the same SQL 2005 table. I have one flat file connection (to a comma delimited file) and one OLE DB connection (to a SQL 2005 Database). Both packages use these same two Connection Managers. The SQL table allows NULL values for all fields. The flat file has "empty values" (i.e., ,"", ) for certain columns.
The first package uses the Data Flow Task with the "Keep nulls" property of the OLE DB Destination Editor unchecked. The columns in the source and destination are identically named thus the mapping is automatically assigned and is mapped based on ordinal position (which is equivalent to the mapping using Bulk Insert). When this task is executed no null values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file. Empty string values are inserted instead of NULL.
The second package uses the Bulk Insert Task with the "KeepNulls" property for the task (shown in the Properties pane when the task in selected in the Control Flow window) set to "False". When the task is executed NULL values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file.
So using the Data Flow Task " " (i.e., blank) is inserted. Using the Bulk Insert Task NULL is inserted (i.e., nothing is inserted, the field is skipped, the value for the record is omitted).
I want to have the exact same behavior on my data in the Bulk Insert Task as I do with the Data Flow Task.
Using the Bulk Insert Task, what must I do to have the Empty String values inserted into the SQL table where there is an "empty value" in the flat file? Why & how does this occur automatically in the Data Flow Task?
From a SQL Profile Trace comparison of the two methods I do not see where the syntax of the insert command nor the statements for the preceeding captured steps has dictated this change in the behavior of the inserted "" value for the recordset. Please help me understand what is going on here and how to accomplish this using the Bulk Insert Task.
I am transferring data from oracle and getting below error message.
