I want to skip running the SSIS data flow task when the source file is missing. We have a scheduler that copies the source file to the staging area. This SSIS package runs as SQL server job. So when a SSIS package fails due to missing file the remaining steps in the SQL scheduler won't execute. I want to handle the missing source file condition grace fully. Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Hi
I am having a huge xml file with nested section.
i also have a xsd file for that xml.
i have a destination table where the data from the xml should be loaded into.
i am using the xml source transformation. But o get all the data i need to use multiple merje joins to get the data in a single row which i can insert into the destination.i was not quiet convinced with using so many joins.
so i tried using the script source transformation where i am using xml objects to get the node and dynamically construction the data row. and the output is then inserted into the destination.
on comparing the two approach the one using the script source is working much faster than the xml source transformation.
i wanted to know is there any limitaion using the script source to parse through xml files.
also i would like to know any other better way of getting the data from xml source without using the joins.

Hello All,
I have a package in which I have enabled "Package Configuration".
When I run the package i am sure that it reads the configuration file and executes the package correctly.
However if I remove the configuration file, the package still executes correctly with the settings which were used at the time of development.
I have event handlers for OnError and OnWarning and both these are NOT invoked.
IMO, this is incorrect behavior because if a package has been configured for "package configuration, then we should atleast have a warning generated that SSIS did not find the configuration and it would execute the package with hard coded values (from the time of development).
Is there any work around for this? how can I make SSIS warn me if the config file is missing for a package which was configured for package configuration?
Hi, all,
Just really wonder what is the good idea to deal with missing values? Should we leave the missing values there in the traning data set ? Or replace it with other values?
What I am really concerned is that if we simply replace those missing values with other values, then how will it really affect the correctness of the training models?
I am looking forward to hearing from you for the above issue and it will be really great if we have any kind of best practices of dealing with this issue.
Thanks.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
in order to use an SSIS package as a data source in a report, I need to enable the SSIS extension in the RSReprotDesigner.config and RSReportServer.config files. That extension is in neither of these files. I have SSIS running on my machine with Reporting Services.

The path to RSReportDesigner.config: C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0Common7IDEPrivateAssemblies
Why is this extension not in either of these files?
The following is an abbreviated list of what's present in the RSReportServer.config file:

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
Is there a way of stopping truncation warnings due to the fact the the XL driver assumings BSTR(255) columns. I'm loading data from excel to SQL Server, the SQL Server columns are nvarchar(50) but the Excel source has assumed 255.
I can change the Excel Source using the 'Advanced Editor' and change the meta-data of the 'Output Column', but then there's a mismatch between the External Column and Output Column collection - so a warning is displayed.
The External Column meta-data can be changed, but then it's out of sync with the 'Error Output' meta-data (and the Error Output meta-data is read only).
I'm sure I've missed a step, can anyone enlighten me

Hi,
I have an SSIS package that runs each day from a live data source to create a data mart, which is then used for various things including SSAS and SSRS.
The problem is that certain records that will eventually go on to form fact tables are deleted from the live system (not a very robost database in the first place, hence the SSIS!) but these are not reflected in the SSIS transformation, creating plus figures when compared to the live system.
I currently use type 1 slowly changing dimension processes in each data flow (of which there are about 35) but I realise that this only updates records and does not delete.
The solution I have in place is to truncate the fact tables in the mart before the run starts using an Execute SQL task. This solves the problem though to me seems a little heavy-handed and renders the slowly changing dimension processes redundant (as it is currently only run once a day).
My question is, is there a better method of dealing with the above scenario? If there isn't, it would be a nice feature to add to future versions (*nudge nudge*).
Thanks in advance :-)

HI,
I'm trying to get data from AS400. using OLEDB source as my connection. i'm using IBM OLEDB provider for iSeries. and working on standard edition of SQL Server 2005.
While using OLEDB source task when i set my access mode to 'table or view' and try to see list of available libraryname.tablenames, i do not get and tables
where as when i use Data access mode as 'SQL Command' i can get data (can only see preview of data) from AS400 but not able to insert that into my destination table. At run time task Fails with the error mentioned below.
I have configured Data links tab inside the OLEDB connection manager also, but when tried to set a default library it gives me error. : "Error code :CWBZZ5042" - ( catalog is invalid ) but it does exist.
Is there some settings that needs to be done from AS400 side or SQL Server side to view the available libray and its tables ?
Can some one help me on the same.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have several hundred very simple ETL SSIS 2K8 package files (*.dtsx).
I'd like to be able to interrogate them to determine source and destination fields.
There's no great need to map source to dest or to extract data types.
So far, the most promising candidate is to load them using OPENROWSET into an XML field in a SS table.No problem there, but querying using OPENXML has me stumped.
The package files will change a couple of times per year, so the process needs to be repeatable with minimal manual intervention.
I'm trying to import a flat file source into a SQL Server table.
The flat file is pipe-delimited and text qualified with " (double-quotes).
The import job is failing because there is a "comments" field in the flat file and there are carriage returns within some records in the "comments" field. When SSIS encounters a record with a carriage return within that field, it sees the carriage return and assumes the end of the record, even though the field is text qualified with " ".
The actual error message I see is: "
Error 0xc0202055: Data Flow Task 1: The column delimiter for column "comments" was not found.
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Sample Record:
"418186"|"94"|"Staff Only-Minimum charge out of 3 hours
Plus travel & accommodation costs (if required) – at cost.
All trauma response services & associated fees/costs are required to be formally authorised by the Company prior to delivery."|""|"690"|""
I can't think of a way to get SSIS to ignore the carriage returns within the Comments field in the source flat file!
I have found SSIS is showing some strange behaviour when dealing with share names for file connections.
I have been using Package configurations and file connections to pick up excel files are using the name of the Share as the path to the file location.
What is strange is that SSIS appears sometimes to successfully see the file and other times fails with the error "....does not exist"
eg I have run a package successfully picking up these excel files using the share name. I have then run the same package IMMEDIATELY again using the exact same files from the same share location and it will then fail with the above error.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour ?
I wanted to demonstrate how SSIS can easily read an Excel file into a database. I started up the wizard (dtswizard) looked and looked by couldn't find "Excel" in the list of datasources.

I don't understand that message. I suspect the problem is that Excel is NOT installed on the box where I'm running the package. Does that seem right to you? Also, if Excel is needed on the box, how can I develop such a package on a laptop (in the airport) that doesn't have Excel?
Confused, but good!

Is there a limit on the number of fields that can be displayed in a table object in a data source view in SSAS 05?
One of the tables (the fact table) in my data source view is displaying only 50 fields. The table actually has many more than that. One of the fields that is not displaying is a foreign key that I need to link to a new dimension table. I have tried refreshing the view, but it doesn't bring in any additional fields.
I was in the process of migrating a server from one physical box to another. They are identical drive setups, same OS (2003), same SQL install (2005). Our server team did a 'PlateSpin', which copies the drives from one server to another, as long as the files are not in use. I did not reinstall SQL on the new box, i let the 'PlateSpin' tool copy everything over for me. I then stopped the SQL services on the old server and new server and copied over all of the system database (.mdf & .ldf) files. As soon as i started up the services on the new server, it looked great with one exception. The TempDB was only showing one datafile. When i queried sys.master_files, it was showing me 8 TempDB files. I tried restarting the services, but i still saw the same, only 1 file. I then tried to re-add TempDB files with the same name, but it would error saying they already existed. In turn, i could add new files with different names and they showed up fine. However, on a restart, they would not show up in the properties of the TempDB.
When i queried, sys.master_files again, i now had 16 Temp db files listed in the results. I deleted all but the original single file that was recognized out of the sys.master_files table and re-added the additional 7 files with he original names, restarted the service and then they all appeared.
I have 2 tables, #MainSample and #SampleCode
In the #MainSample, Line_ID is the Primary key
Line_ID BegMeasure EndMeasure
656 0.00 254500.00
657 0.00 7000.00
658 0.00 308000.00

#Sample Code
Line_ID BegMeasure EndMeasure Code
659 665.00 9456.00 APL-XL
657 0.00 200 BHP
From this, I have to find out the segments for which there is no defined code value. I want the output as
Line_ID BegMeasure EndMeasure
656 0.00 254500.00
657 200.00 7000.00

View 7 Replies View RelatedMy Snapshot Agent for SQL Server 2005 sometimes does not fully complete. I am expecting around 2073 files in the snapshot folder but only get 492 (this number does change). I have immediate_sync set to true, so I should get a full snapshot every time. It seems to quit after all data has been BCP'ed out and before the schema generation starts. I do get the "The replication agent has not logged a progress message in 10 minutes. This might indicate an unresponsive agent or high system activity. Verify that records are being replicated to the destination and that connections to the Subscriber, Publisher, and Distributor are still active. " message in the MSSnapshot_history table.
I am guessing that there is some sort of blocking that is preventing the snapshot agent from continuing and then it times out and dies. But that is a total guess as I have not been able to observe the behavior, only the outcome.
Any suggestions to what the cause is or how I can fix it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I don't know if anyone faced this issue. We are having a strange problem. Our process was working well when it was implemented on 32 bit processor.IT ran perfectly for 6 months with out a problem. But when we moved the packages to a 64 bit machine, this issue along with some other issues started to show up.
The issue is we are missing files in the source folder.
Our process is designed such that a source process, brings in a file and updates a status for the file in a audit table. The ETL process picks up the file, then assigns the status as €˜running€™ when SRC process is complete and loads into Target DB, and updates ETL status to complete. But current problem is the ETL is losing files after it assigns the status as running. When we looked into the DB weather the data is loaded, we could not find any data related to these files.
we are have mapping level parameters for source path and target path.
We are using a For Each Loop task, and processing files(which are simple flat files) in the source path. The file name is stored in the mapping level parameter. Once the file is process we are moving them into a target path.
Our src and target file paths are on the same drive, just have src folder, inside src folder we have processed folder and failed folder. So files are picked from the source folder and moved into processed folder after processing. The files are not even moved to a failed folder.
There are lot other processing going on this box, and the trend observed is that when more processors are running at peak hour, the missing files€™ count is more.
Right now we are refetching those files, as a work around, but does any one has any suggestion why this is happening or any better implementation suggestions?
Thanks

View 5 Replies View RelatedI thought i share this lil thought/tip with ya'all:
I have .txt import files which have huge amounts of columns (this time about 150 - 200). And i need to import 3 of those files. I do have the definitions for columns - but to fill out 200 column definitions in SSIS editor takes u a while. (And suggest types is quite useless due to 1000 sample row limitation - not to mention that if you identify Boolean fields using Y,N - i throws errors on import - so you are most of the times better off defining your own columns).
Fortunately for me - majority of the fields is similar (over 100 fields) - so I can copy and paste the flat file connection and make changes to copied file connection
I guess my wish for future version is that flat file manager could create column definitions from pre-defined format document which would look like:
1 Acres
float
8
2 AgentList
varchar
20
3 Area
int
4
4 Fee
int

5 FeePaid
