SSIS: Export Mappings For Documentation, Etc
Mar 1, 2008Hi,
I have SSIS packages with the usual: source, destination, and mappings between the two. How can I export these mappings to, say, Excel / Word for documentation purposes?
Thanks.

Change The Mappings In SSIS Packages
Feb 21, 2008Hi,
My need is to load data from flat files to SQL tables. All the flat files are different. For convenience flat file name and table name is similar.
I have placed a For loop container and in which I used SCRIPT TASK to read the file names from the specified folder and i populated this value to SSIS variable. All my flat file name and destination table name are given using this Script task. For the first run it executes perfectly, but for the second run it fails. The reason is due to the flat file connection manager. The file name is changed since it is taken care by my script, but the columns are not mapped it still have the previous file's columns. I do not know how to solve this.
Please tell me if there is any other way to solve this or i need to refine my process.
Actually i have more than 100 files and so i am trying to do it at one short rather than creating individual packages.

SSIS Flat File To DB Column Mappings
Oct 2, 2007hi -
I am totally new to SSIS etc and SQL 2005.
I have a dts task to recreate in SSIS. I have done most of them and muddled my way through, but this basic problem has got me stuck.
When mapping columns from my file to my ole db output table, I want to map one input column onto two output columns, but it will only seem to let me select one destination column for each input?
I have tried shift/alt/ctrl etc to try to get it to map to both columns but it wont have it.
How do I do it?
Also, somehow my Dataflow Sources tab has gone from the toolbox, and I can't seem to get it back any way - I switched on everything I could see and all components etc, but it is not in there as an option. How do I get it back in the toolbox?
How To Implement Restartability In Individual Mappings Of SSIS Packages?
Apr 30, 2007restartability, is there any other tool option? like informatica
or
whether we have to implement through hand written query.
if query, then tell me how to do by taking scenarios like loading data from source sql table to target table.
suppose, in my target table, i have to load 100 records.
After loading 10 records,due to database downtime,or failure,
the loading stopped.
Either i have to truncate table or load it from 11th record.
Can u give me how to do this inside mapping
1)for table truncation
2) loading it from 11 th record.

SSIS Documentation
Apr 17, 2007Hi folks
According to the book I am reading at the moment, there's supposed to be an SSIS documentation that ships with the product. I had the software installed by the IT guys but nothing with it apart from the books on line.
Does any one know of specific documentation on this?

Reference Documentation On VBA In Relation To SSIS
Feb 21, 2006Hi, I have heard alot of people talk about using C# for scripting withing SSIS and the answer to that question is no apparently. You can only use VBA but there is no extensive or in my respect any documentation as reference for using VBA in SSIS. I am new to VBA because i used to use jscipt and vbscript in early version of sql server. But in order to learn using VBA, I need to learn it in which there seems to be no reference in relation to SSIS. All the VBA references you find are in relation to MS Office. Is there anything i am missing or can someone show me where to go as my reference for VBA in SSIS. Its bad enough to change the scripting language but worse not to provide any reference materials for uses to get up to speed.

Oct 21, 2015I am sure this questions have been asked but i was not able to find a useful information.
1. I am looking for a SSIS Standards document or source. A document developer can use for developing ssis package. This should include how to name each container, task , and how to organize things. Basics of SSIS. Is there some kind of source where i can find this information . We are starting out to migrate from informatica to SSIS but before we do that we would like to put standards in place so all SSIS development is consistent.
2. SSIS project documentation template that we can use to document each project. Is there anything out there that we can follow to document each of our project.
Mappings In The Packages
May 29, 2006Hi all,
Is it possible to get information of the mappings availabe in the packages?, like the column mappings in the OLE Destination control, column mappings in the merge join control etc.,. I want the information of source and destination in the mappings(name of the DB, table). I want that to be in some file like excel file. Inform me is there a way to get it?
Thanks in advance,

SCD Loses Mappings
Oct 23, 2007Is it normal that my scd loses its mappings if I change one of its inputs?
When I talk about mappings, I talk about the first page of the scd wizard. I set everything (all the columns, business keys) and run the wizard until the last step. SCD creates two outputs (Changed and New Rows). All Ok.
If a column I use as input in the scd changes (for example, it is not a conversion column any more but a derived with the same name), my scd loses all the mappings!
It is very annoying since I have to map all of the columns again. Is this a normal behaviour of the scd or I' doing something wrong? Is there a way to 'repair' my mappings without needing to set one column at the time every time?
Mappings Question In OLE DB Destination
Apr 10, 2007Hi,
I have a situation where I want to map a column from a flat file to TWO columns in a table.
However, in the mappings tab, you can only select the "Input Column" once. Once a column has been used, it no longer appears in the drop down list.
I am wondering if there's a way to override this behavior, and if not, what is the best way to handle this type of situation?
I have added an EXECUTE SQL task to update the second column with the inserted column values, but I would like to know if the default mapping behavior can be changed, as it seems so limited.
Thanks

Save/Copy Column Mappings In DTS?
Feb 20, 2007Is it possible to save column mapping definitions from a Transform Data Task? The practical use is I have four tables with very similar layouts of which 200 or so columns are identical. I have various front and back office applications that require local copies of this data in various formats. It is EXTREMELY tedious to remap all of the columns for each Transform Data Task required on these applications.
Is there a way to store all of the column mapping def's and import them into a new transform data task?

1 Flat File To 2 Destination Tables With Different Mappings :Please Help
Feb 21, 2007Here is the Scenario.
I have a flat file with name "Employee.txt " (Full url: C:Employee.txt) .The File content is like this
Anil,Engineering,1997
Sunil,Sales,1981
Kumar,Inventory,1991
Rajesh,Engineering,1992
(Note: Items are Comma Seperated)
Now, i have a SQL Server database called "EmployeeDB" which has 2 tables "TblEmp1", "TblEmp2".
The Table is like this.
TblEmp1 : Columns
EmpName EmpDept EmpjoinDate
TblEmp2 : Columns
EName EDate Edept
using integration services (SSIS) i need code(vb.net or c#) to Create a dtsx package so that i can push the flat file content to these 2 tables.
And the condition is :
After Executing the package Data loaded in TblEmp1 should be like this
EmpName EmpDept EmpjoinDate
Anil Engineering 1997
Sunil Sales 1981
Kumar Inventory 1991
Rajesh Engineering 1992
(No change in order compared to source)
And Data loaded inTBLEmp2 should be like this
EName EDate Edept
Anil 1997 Engineering
Sunil 1981 Sales
Kumar 1991 Inventory
Rajesh 1992 Engineering
Now, i know that we need to do like this in wizard
1) Create a flat file source component.
2) Create flat file connection and set the properties of flat file (delimeters and other things)
3) Create a Multicast Component.
4) Create a Path between Flat file source and Multicast.
5) Create 2 destination component(each for a table).
6) Create path from multicast to 2 destination components
7) Create a OledbConnection and set table names for 2 destination components..
7) Now,i have to do mapping for destination1.8) Now, i have to do mapping for destination2( this mapping will be different from mapping done for destination1 because iam not inserting the data in the same order in which iam doing for TBLEmp1.
I have done it in wizard.I need to do it through code and i know that its not complicated.Please find the attached file with this mail.i have attached a screen shot of how i have done in wizard.The main problem is Mapping differently for 2 destinations from source.for 1st one we can have a forloop for mapping.but for 2nd one iam confused!!
Parent To Child Mappings Identification In A Single Query
Aug 12, 2007Hi,
I want to retrive the output in a single SQL query.
I had two columns in a table; I used some values of column1 in column2.
I want to identify all the column1 vlaues in Left Hand side and column2 values in Right Hand side, with a single query.
example:
MasterTable
ParentRow ChildRow
--------- --------
A B
C D
E F
G C
H E
M G
Output required:
ParentRow ChildRow
--------- --------
A B
C D
E F
G D (C mapped tfrom D)
H F
M D (G mapped from C, and C mapped from D)
To get the above output, I written query using WHILE...[BREAK|CONTINUE] concept until I get @@rowcount become zero.
I am looking for better performace and to get the output in a single query, instead of multiple passes.
Can any one suggest good tools and articles on performance tuning techniques?
Thanks

Ssis - Import-export
Feb 4, 2008An excel spreadsheet has to be open on Machine B on the network to pull data from a third party tool.
I have to refresh several columns in this spreadsheet every minute with new data.
Every time there is a new data into the columns i.e. columns 7 and 10, the spreadsheet pulls data from the third party tool automatically and populates other columns i.e. columns 12-15.
Then I will have to retrieve the new data from the spreadsheet into sql server 2005.
So first I wrote a query to use to populate the spreadsheet each time with the result using Import Wizard.
It gives an error: 0xc0202009
And I am not sure if my approach for this project is correct?
What do you think?

I don't think that such thing is possible but either way, I ask, just in case...

SSIS EXPORT TO EXCEL DIFFERENT RESULT THAN DTS EXP
Jun 12, 2008have now spent 3 days on finding a solution for this problem.
I export data from a table with a money data type column to excel. Before I do the export I'm creating the table in excel with a create table statement in "Execute sql task editor" like this:
CREATE TABLE `test` (
`MYmoney` Currency)
in the datapump I use OLDB source (local sql server) and destination OLE DB connection (excel destination).
When I open up the excel spreadsheet the Mymoney column will show dollar sign. The problem is that it should be Swedish kr currency showing. WHen I'm running the old DTS package in "Microsoft sql server dts designer components" in sql 2005 on the same server this result will be in the currency kr as it should be.
When I'm running the SSIS on my local machine the result also get right.
Any ideas?
Thanks

SSIS Export To Flat File

We have begun useing SSIS to export data into a Data warehouse.
For continuity of service and testing perposes I wish to export to flat files.
However, although the export seems to work fine, I get alot od spaces in my text file.
It seems to pad out to the exact number of characters in the data base, i.e. Char(3) outputs 1 character plus an extra 2 spaces, char(9) gives me the six characters + 3 spaces.
I cannot change the DBase.
How do I get rid of the extra spaces?

Export To Excel Using SSIS FROM SQLSEVER2005
Dec 10, 2007Hi,
I'm trying to create an SSIS package and exporting to excel using data flow task data conversion. (This is the first time I am writing to you and I am doing so since I have spent a lot of time researching this subject. Your blogs were very helpful. I changed the output folder formats in ADVANCED EDITOR and then changed the excel file data types.) I finally got it to work... somewhat!
My exported excel data contains sevearal formats currency, text and DT-I4. However when it exports,the excel file does not retain the datatypes purely. I then inserted an empty row below column names and changed the data types for the fields. It has worked so far for only currency data types. The text fields are still in general format. There's still the issue of the empty line which best be removed. I also need to e-mail this spreadsheet.
Please help with the datatypes.
Thanks much in advance!
