Hi all,
I've got to change values in my source database as follows:
Source: Target:

Can I create a lookup table and us a look up task in SSIS to do this or do I need to script it?
Thanks

I have begun using SSIS and I am a little taken aback by the complexity of it especially since I just want to do a simple data transformation such as in DTS.
Are there any tutorials for data transformation for SSIS on the web/this forum and what if I want to do a simple transformation from Access to SQL Server?
Hi to all
Is there any option in sql server DTS or any other third party tool that can script data. By scripting data i mean that....
if a table "Employee" contains 50 rows, i want the tool to write 50 insert queries for me so that i can run in it anywhere.
Problem is i have to insert data in a remote server where i cannot use DTS. I just have a text area to write my query and press the run button..
Hope u understand my problem. In case of any explanation please reply. Waiting for your response. Thanx in advance.

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
I am importing the values for field Atype from a .csv file as DT_STR, 13 and I need to fit them into a bit type CType field.
When I write the conditional split ((ISNULL(Atype)?"a":Atype)!=(ISNULL(CType)?"9":CType)) it says that the DT_WSTR and DT_I4 types are incompatible and that I need to explicitly cast with a cast operator. I haven't been able to make it work, how to explicitly cast?
Hi all,
I am new to SSIS...and wanted to know where can i get a lot of info on how to deal with ActiveX Scripttasks & Script tasks in SSIS...the place i am working has a lot of VB Scripting done in DTS Packages...having a hard time in understanding the Scripts, as i am more like back-end guy and wanted to learn a lot in SSIS, once i understand the scripts it will help me a great deal as to how to approach the tasks...Is there any website which teaches how to avoid Scripting in SSIS as i read somewhere that Scripting should be avoided as much as possible by making using of so many tasks in the SSIS tool.
I will look forward for someone to help me out and show me a way.

Has anyone used this shiit ??
its an absolutely useless pile of crap ??
I can't do simple things that were done easily with Active X ..

Hi, Does anyone have any suggestions on a book about scripting in SSIS. I'm currently using the WROX SQL Server 2005 Integratin Services book. This is an excellent book, but I need something that has more on scripting in SSIS.

Could someone recommend good books for scripting with .NET in SSIS? Anyother useful websites that have this kind of stuff? Appreciate any help.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs The Rational Guide to Scripting SQL Server 2005 Integration Services Beta Preview by Donald Farmer the best way to learn how to use scripting in SSIS as of late 2006? I'm not a .NET developer, although I come from a Java and C++ background.

I am utlizing a scripting object in my ssis to combine two text files into one final file, and then I want to delete the original files. To do this I am utilizing the FileSystemInfo namespace and associating the file names, then utilizing the DELETE functionality.

Hi,I need to take data from a SQL Serer 2005 database, and load into aremote 2000 database. I've already been able to script and create thedatabase objects (MS SQL Server 2005 has a nifty option which allowsyou to scripting for SQL Server 2000 compliance). Now i just need toget the data in.Is there a tool or utility out there that i can use to generate insertstatements for all the tables in database?Thanks much for any advice regarding this.

Hey all - got a problem that seems like it would be simple (and probably is : )
I'm importing a csv file into a SQL 2005 table and would like to add 2 columns that exist in the table but not in the csv file. I need these 2 columns to contain the current month and year (columns are named CM and CY respectively). How do I go about adding this data to each row during the transformation? A derived column task? Script task? None of these seem to be able to do this for me.
Here's a portion of the transformation script I was using to accomplish this when we were using SQL 2000 DTS jobs:
'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic Transformation Script
'************************************************************************
' Copy each source column to the destination column
Function Main()
DTSDestination("CM") = Month(Now)
DTSDestination("CY") = Year(Now)
DTSDestination("Comments") = DTSSource("Col031")
DTSDestination("Manufacturer") = DTSSource("Col030")
DTSDestination("Model") = DTSSource("Col029")
DTSDestination("Last Check-in Date") = DTSSource("Col028")
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
***********************************************************
Hopefully this question isnt answered somewhere else, but I did a quick search and came up with nothing. I've actually tried to utilize the script component and the "Row" object, but the only properties I'm given with that are the ones from the source data.
thanks in advance!

hi all,
My issue is the inner join transformation in SSIS.
See i ll explain my problem clearly now.....
Actually i m just checkin if the inner join performed in business intelligence studio usin the inner join transformation and the inner join performed in the management studio using queries are same. Logically both the resultset should match isn't but in my case it is not so. It is very important for me to figure out where the problem is because i m goin to use lotsa inner join transformations in my current project.
I ll appreciate if someone can help me to figure out this problem. May be you can also tell me the detailed steps in adding the inner join transformation and also how it works.
Thank you,
I have the following query:
SELECT EMPID,EMPNAME from EMPLOYEE
where EMPID = (SELECT MAX(EMPID) from EMPLOYEE group by EMPNAME,insert_date)
Here one can use above query in Dataflow of SSIS and specify SQL to create temporary table and later can use as lookup to join to other table.
Is there any way in SSIS to directly do the MAX of EMPID in lookup and join to the main source table.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a flatfile source to which different flatfiles will be passed as input,this is connected to an OLEDB destination which changes along with the sourcefile.
But when the new file is given as input, the OLEDB mappings are not getting refreshed.It is showing an error.
Actually this was implemented in DTS, and they have used an activex script for the transformation.
what shd I use in SSIS?
Please help me..

I'm not exactly sure how to ask this question ... but here goes!!
I want to get an idea of how SSIS actually executes transformation tasks.
Do transformation tasks (eg a lookup) complie down to managed code or are the executed as SQL commands in a SQL server database?
Thanks.
Hi
I have migrated a DTS that had some activeX transformation tasks within data pump flow tasks.
Those parts were migrated as "DTS 2000 tasks" .. so activeX transformation tasks aren't possible in SSIS ?
I know ActiveX script tasks are but for transformations ?
1. IF i leave these Encapsulated DTS 2000 tasks in the migrated SSIS package, will it run independently of the original
DTS or does it need the old DTS running to "call" that part from ? (I hope im making sense here)
is it possible to load this functionality internally into the new SSIS ?
2.
How could I (if i can't do ActiveX transformation tasks) achieve this is SSIS ?
can I achive this using the script tasks in SSIS ?
Hello 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

Is there way to rename parameters Param_0, Param_1 in OLEDBCommand transformation? I am trying to create table driven packages using BIML. I am using OLEDBCommand Transformation to update rows. But since, I will not be sure of how many parameters and order of the parameters, I was planning to rename the parameter programmatically, so that accordingly I can build the update statement and add filter condition.

HI,
How do I loop through all columns in a row using a script
transformation? For example if I want trim all columns.
If I want to trim one column this is a simple script:
Public Class ScriptMain
Inherits UserComponent
Public Overrides Sub MyAddressInput_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As
MyAddressInputBuffer)
Row.City = Trim(Row.City)
End Sub
End Class
But what if I want to do that for all columns? I don't want to name
them all like this:
Public Class ScriptMain
Inherits UserComponent
Public Overrides Sub MyAddressInput_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As
MyAddressInputBuffer)
Row.Column1 = Trim(Row.Column1)
Row.Column2 = Trim(Row.Column2)
Row.Column3 = Trim(Row.Column3)
...
...
Row.Column997 = Trim(Row.Column997)
Row.Column998 = Trim(Row.Column998)
Row.Column999 = Trim(Row.Column999)
End Sub
End Class
Is there a simple foreach column in Row.columns option?

I just ran across an interesting problem, that makes no sense. I
built
an SSIS package that updates a column, using an transformation
script.
Testing in Debug mode everything runs perfectly, but when I have SQL
sever agent run the package it insert null into the new column.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

First let me say, I really can't believe this chain of events myself--and they are happening to me.
I am upgrading several DTS packages to SSIS on what will be my new production server. These packages create tables, export them to a flat file, and ftp them off to other locations.
What is happening (on the SSIS side) is that the OLE DB Source is reordering some of the columns on its own (moving them to the end of the table/file. Then when my pickup/load routines run, the data is out of place and they fail.
Can anyone please explain what is happening here with the mapping. I have evaluated the table and the columns are in the order that I expect. When I preview the source table in the OLE DB Source Editor the columns are in the correct order/alignment, but when them in the OLE DB Source Editor --Columns section within BIDS the order is changed arbitrarily.
I have been somewhat successful (2 out of 3) in being able to re-map the data, but this last table just doesn't want to change.
Thanks in advance for any help and/or information you can provide
Dear all,
I€™ve made a SSIS package which might take source columns from a plain text file and copy them to the Sql table.
A long time ago, when you did the process I did by dts and that stuff included a pump task which had ActiveX Script transform column with VbScript stuff inside so that, how do I for to do the same with SSIS??
I€™ve got a couple of tasks: Flat File Source and OleDb Source Destination but it€™s useless at all for that goal.
Does anyone have ever used or faced this hended?
Thanks for any input,
How would you do the following in SSIS?
SELECT a.TestID,
a.TestCode
FROM TableA a
WHERE UPPER(RTRIM(a.TestCode)) IN SELECT (SELECT UPPER(RTRIM(b.TestCode)) FROM TableB b)
Of course the above query is missing a few things but with ETL the where clause UPPER(RTRIM does not appear to be something that has an object or property that I can use in the Lookup.
Please correct and educate me.
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?
Hi,
I have an example situation that seems like it should have a super easy solution, but my jobs keep failing.
Here we go. . .
I have a SQL Server 2005 table as my source in a data flow task.
This table contains raw data.
We'll call it FACT_Product_Raw - which contains a field called ProductType varchar(1)
Let's say that ProductType contains values of "A" or "B" or "C" - or for that matter, some null and garbage values
I have a lookup table, LOV_Product_Types
This table contains 3 fields that will transform my raw data table
We'll call these fields ProdTypeID smallint, ProdTypeRaw varchar(1) and ProdType smallint
It contains pairs such that A = 1, B = 2, and so on.
Here's what I want to do.
I want to ADD a field to FACT_Product_Raw that contains the "looked up" value from LOV_Product_Types.
Let's say that I want to add the ProdTypeID field to my _Raw table.
I have used the _Raw table as both my source and destination
It blows up every time.
Help.
Thanks,
David
