I am trying to perform an incremental (ProcessAdd) load on a dimension using SSIS and the Dimension Processing data flow component. Whenever I try the load it fails with the following error:
The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (1) returned error code 0xC02020C4

Apparently this translates to the error DTS_E_ADDROWTOBUFFERFAILED.
This incremental load is trying to add several hundred thousand rows and it appears to get to around 10K or so and then fail. I can't seem to find any KB articles related to this problem. Does anyone have a clue what may be happening here?
I do have an incremental load of the same type that is working but I am continually getting the following warning when the load is running:
"The buffer manager detected that the system was low on virtual memory, but was unable to swap out any buffers. 6 buffers were considered and 6 were locked. Either not enough memory is available to the pipeline because not enough is installed, other processes are using it, or too many buffers are locked."
My server has 8GB of memory and is running WS 2003 x64 and SSAS 2005 x64

I have a dimension table that uses slow chaning type 1 and 2€¦
Source Table
CD Category Object_key
-1 Not Provided NULL
1 CADA 1002
2 DFG 1889
3 GHJ 456
4 CACA 54635
I am using ObjecT_key as a business key
Destination ( Dimenstion)
Key Category business_key
-1 Not Provided NULL
1 CADA 1002
2 DFG 1889
3 GHJ 456
4 CACA 54635
5 Not provided NULL
Problem is When a business_key is NULL , slow changing dimension wizard doesn€™t recorgize whether it€™s a new or existing value, so it keep trying to add a new row..
How can I fix this issue?
It has been suggested that when loading dimensions, the first step should be to clear the current dimension table and reload in total from the data source. I use integer identity PK fields in all my dimension tables.
When loading my fact table I'm only loading rows that have been added or changed since the last SSIS run.
Wouldn't this introduce the possibility of mis-matched key relationships if, for some reason, the order of the rows in the dimension table changed and a fact row that doesn't get modified in this SSIS run pointed to a surrogate key in a dimension table that was changed?
I suppose in most cases a change in the OLTP that caused a reordering of the dimension table - say a customer was dropped - would show up as a modification in the fact load and cause the row to be updated. However if someone changed the indexing in the OLTP it might cause the customer order to chagne causing them to be loaded in a different sequence with different surrogate keys in the dimension table.
It just concerns me that a possibility for corruption seems to exist in this type of scenerio. It seems like one should load the dimensions and facts in the same manner.
I'm loading a fact table that has several geographic attributes - some are at the state level, some are at the county level, and then some are drilled farther in that that. I understand the basic concept of the dimension with the ragged hierarchy, but unsure of how to load to the fact table using lookups based on these geographic units. For example, if my geographic dimension contains 200 records for the state of Wyoming, basically a record for each fine-grain place (i.e. city/town), then how do I go about doing a county lookup. Wyoming only has 23 counties, but because of the repetitive nature of the dimension attributes that are not at the finest grain, I'll get more records in the lookup than I need. This activity repeats of course while I move up the geographic scale to state, then country. How do I configure/fill my dimension to handle these differing scales of data?
When i add a dimension to the cube dimension without any relation in my dimension usage to any measure group my units are going down.However when i remove the dimension from the cube am getting the correct values.

Hi,
I am new at SSIS and I am trying to create a Datawarehouse using SSIS. I have the data files as flat files I have the Dimensional Model ready on Paper and Now I need to use the SSIS for the ETL process.
I am trying to figure out how to make dimension tables in SSIS? I mean I want to create the 5 Dimension tables and then create a Fact table out of it but I cant understand where to start? Can any one tell me how we create Dimesion tables in SSIS. Like one of the dimesion tables I need to create uses 2 flat files and is like a flattened dimension, How would I create this in SSIS?
Even if there is any tutorial which shows this step by step do let me know. I would really appreciate any guidance on this.
Thanks,
Sarang
Hi All,
I am just curious to know how I can load data from a data warehouse to an Analysis Service Cube (both to the fact tables and dimensions).
Does any body have some way to achieve this?
I appreciate if any body provide me a good material which describe this scenario.
Sincerely,

Hi,
I'm trying to load 8mm records in SCD type 2 format. the time taken to load these records are very high all most two days with Intel Core 2 processor and 1gb ram
the direct load of 8mm records had taken time up to 12 minutes
can any one guide me up on the memory required for the job to success and is there any performance tuning have to be taken care in mapping.
Please do inform me up on this issue ASAP. Thank you
Hi All,
We are considering loading oracle datawarehouse using SSIS as ETL. I would like to know the experiences of the team in doing the same. Please share your experiences on this.
Thanks,

We have successfully built a SSIS ETL implementation for a data mart. Most of our dimension loads are using the slowly changing dimensions task. We successfully built every package and had 1 complete successful load.
We have made a modification to one of the tables that now has 16 mil records in it. I open the dimension's package and it takes 30 sec - 1 minute to validate. When I go to the Data Flow tab and attempt to open the Slowly Changing Dimension task, SSIS will freeze up. I will get no response for hours. I my testing so far SSIS has yet to come back.
My CPU usage is below 5%. devenv.exe memory usage is at 113 Mb. My computer is using 400mb / 1Gb of memory. The status bar at the bottom says "ready". I have let it sit for up to 2 hours with no results. When I kill the process in the Windows Task Manager it ends instantly.
I have also tried deleting the task and adding a new Slowly Changing Dimension Task. When I select the table from the drop down I get the same results. I have noticed this with all my million + record tables that use the slowly changing dimension task but not the smaller tables.
I am also seeing the problem when I am in "Work Ofline" mode.
I am accessing a SQL 2005 server over a VPN connection. I am connecting to the server using a Native OLE DB OLE DB for SQL Server connection. My computer is running Windows 2000 SP4, Intel Pentium M1.86 Ghz, 1 Gb of RAM.
Can a Slowly Changing Dimension Task be used on large tables? I can understand the process taking a while to run but I do not understand why I can not edit the task.
Dear Friends,
I created my BI Blog and I need your feedback to my post SSIS-Populating Dimension. Do you think is a good approach? In my project works perfectly!

Thanks!
I am testing the SCD with some sample data and am seeing duplicate rows getting inserted into my table. When configuring the wizard I am prompted to select a key type (Business or Not a key column). I assumed that the SCD wizard would NOT insert a row that already has a business key in the dimension table but that doesn't seem to be the case??? Is that by design?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have 2 flat files to load into a datamart via SSIS.
Need to implement:-
1. How can I prevent loading of same file again?
2. If by chance wrong data has been loaded how can I rollback?
Kindlt guide asap as I have to implement these.

I'm using an Execute SQL Task Editor to try and load the last load date into a user var. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I have result set to Single Row and a simple query:
SELECT LastLoad
FROM HeidtmanDW.dbo.CubeLoadStats
WHERE (SourceTable = 'Sales')
Where do I set the user var User:LastSalesLoadDate (which is scoped to the entire packge)?
Thanks.
Hi All,
We did the development of SSIS packges on 32 bit machine. We have few excel files which is loaded using SSIS.
Now the same was deployed to anothe rmachine(64 bit). This 64-bit machine does not have Microsoft office installed.
And all packages(which loads excel files) failed. Hence can someone answer my following questions:-
1) In order to load excel files using SSIS, is it necessary that Microsoft excel software should be installed on that machine?
2) If answer to above is yes, Can Microsoft excel viewer be used instead of Microsoft office(excel)?
Thanks

Hi all,
I have problem with SSIS. When I open my packages, I always get an error message which says like this:
There were errors while the package was being loaded.
The package might be corrupted.
See the Error List for details.
And, in error list, I get this error message:
Error loading DIM_BUSINESS_TYPES.dtsx: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E4D. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E4D Description: "Login failed for user 'user'.".
But the package itself seems doesnt have any errors at all. When I try to run the package, it runs fine.
Btw, I use package configuration which is stored in sql server table, including the password for connectionstring.
So, what's actually wrong with my package?
Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to load data from one database to another database with in same sql server.Our DBA has created a new db and I am trying to load data in to this new one.But I am getting error in SSIS packages while scheduled as job. The failed job history was not showing much information So I ran the package dirently to get more info on error message.
I was able to transfer around 5 to 6 tables . But I am unable to transfer the final 2 tables. I am thinking its a space issue. Appreciate if somebidy can explain what the real problem is ?

Currently we are trying to load the xml files into sqlserver tables by using ssis 2012,We are getting xml files as a column in source table ,so we have to push these xml files into destination tables.
I'm following the below way to perform this activity

But We have standard XSD structure for all the xml files ,and if xml file matches the XSD structure then only we have to load ,else it should skip to next xml file.
Below is the error, Thanks!!

Ok, we have built a data mart using SSIS etc...for transformations and loading.
Our biggest single problem we have currently is loading data from an Oracle server to our SQL server. Some tables from oracle run fine when retrieving the data but there is one particular table that just doesn't load fast enough (9 million records take over 12 hours). It seems that we are idling alot and its not always running.
Can anyone help with this problem?
I was trying to load SSIS shipped from my colleague. It has configuration file with his SSIS. I added this one to my local project. I removed configuration file from my project. In case anything goes wrong, I also delete OLE DB Connection String, and recreated one. Modified all data flow and control flow for any connection to point to my new one.
After the modification, it still fails on login 'sa'. I cannot figure out the problem. Is there any tricky inside of SSIS configuration file?
I created a package loading Excel file. I developed the package using test excel file c:TestTest.xls and use a config file to assign actual folder (the file names will be got from a foreach loop container) when run it.
However, the package cannot run with a configure file which specify a different source folder and still ask for test.xls. It's not possible that it require reset the folder and file every time when it's used for a new folder.

Hello -- I primarily use SSIS for data loading tasks from falt files into SQL Server DB.
I usually have the Loading Fallouts routed to a FALLOUT Table with SSIS Err Codes.
However, the package execution stops if there are a bunch of fallouts.. like more than 20/30..
Is there any place in the package where i can specify a bigger Number, rather than Err'ng out for more than 20/30??
Thank You!
How do i add two extra columns (Filler Columns) @ the end when specifying the "Flat File Connection Manager"
1st Column -- Will carry the File Name from where the record is being loaded
2nd Column -- Load Date
Any thoughts!
I am considering whether SSIS can be used to deal with a formatted report that consists of a number of pages delimited by a control character with rows deleimited by CRLF. There are a number of header records that will need to be removed on each page and each line consists of data in fixed width columns.
The files will be fed to us on a regular basis so we will require an automated solution
Can I use one of the import objects available within SSIS directly to deal with this kind of file or will I have to bite the bullet and start coding a solution using C# or vb.net ?
I load SSIS package using following code:
Application app = new Application();
Package pac = app.LoadFromSqlServer(packageName, serverName, null, null, null);
For simple package containing 2 tasks this code executes about 20 seconds.
If I load old version (SQL2K) package from SQL2000 then it takes 5 seconds.
Is any way to increase loading speed for SSIS packages?
Hi all,
Can you help me to resolve my problem ? I have to do a simple daily backup system. Source : Flat File; Destination : SQL Server. I want to use the Slowly Changing Dimension component to backup only the new and updated row from my source (Flat File) and put them into SQL Server.
But how can I do to detect deleted rows from my source ?
Any suggestions ?
If it's not clear enough, please ask for more details !

I have an excel sheet that has a bunch of columns. Some of these columns have static data but there are a few of the columns that retrieve data by making calls to servers and returning values that populate these columns. Usually about 30 mins before the columns are populated.
I then need to to load the excel sheet into a table.
I was wondering if there was anyway by which we can make the connection to the excel sheet and then force a delay of about 30 mins before it starts retriving the data?
Is this possible in ssis? Or can I achieve it by some other means?
Thanks for any help in advance
I have just loaded SQL Server 2005 SP1 and it is playing havoc with any SSIS packages that use the File System Task.
I am using the FST to copy a file to a directory after it has been loaded. This worked fine prior to SQ1 but now I am getting the following error if there are one or more files already in the target directory:
[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The directory is not empty. ".
If I remove all files from the directory it works fine.
Has anyone come across this problem and got a workaround for this? Will it involve me writing a FSO script task???
Is this 'feature' going to be rectified in SP2?
