Hi,
I have migrated a DTS pakage into SSIS. The DTS package validates a Textfile Source File using an ActiveX Script task.
Could somebody tell me how to validate a FlatFile in SSIS. Based on whether the file exist or if exist then whether its empty or not, I have to execute a database proc.
It'll be very helpful if somebody can assist me in this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have an XML file and it's XSD file, when I use an other tool (Stylus studio) the XML file is valide and weelformed. But in SSIS using XML task using the same XSD and XML I get a "False", so the XMl file is not valide.
Have you an idea obout this
thank you in advance
I have an SSIS package that imports data from a text file into Sql Server.
Step 1: create a temp table
Step 2: Data Flow - import data into temp table
When I run the package, validation fails because the temp table doesn't exist. However, if I create the temp table manually in management studio ahead of time, validation passes and the package executes fine.
How can I set up the package without having to manually create the temp table ahead of time?
Hi,
I recently received a new laptop at work with windows vista on it. Having BIDS 2005 installed I wanted to modify an existing package (stored on our network) that I developed months ago. But I can't execute this package on that machine as I get this error:
[Connection manager "MyConnectionManager"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. [Log provider "SSIS log provider for SQL Server"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "MyConnectionManager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
I really don't understand this because the connection manager works ok. Plus I use package configurations with settings stored on a SQL Server 2005.
Also, the same package works fine on the older machine.
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance

I have an SSIS package that has been running successfully nightly in a SQL Agent job (SQL2005 SP2). Last night the package failed due to Connection "xyz" failed validation. "xyz" is only one of numerous connections in that package, but evidently if one connection fails validation at runtime, nothing in the package runs.
Is there some way I can configure the package so that one connection failing to validate at runtime won't cause the whole package to fail, so that the tasks that use other connections will execute?
Thank you,
Holly
Whenever I open a saved SSIS package, validation takes over and it can take a long time to do that. Is there a way to disable the validation process when opening the SSIS package? Thanks.

I need a help on the following situation ,
i have a set of 6 file which comes into my ftp folder , the name of the file would be same when a set arrives but with a different extension.
one of the validation i need to make is if i recieve the set of file then it process the package , if i have less then six file in it should move files to a failure location.
the challenge i have is i can have multiple sets of file at at given time in ftp location.
supppose the file i receive in first set would be 1A1.exa, 1A1. exb, 1A1. exc, 1A1.exd , 1A1. Exe , 1A1.Exf
the next set file would be 1A2.exa, 1A2. exb, 1A2. exc, 1A2.exd , 1A2. Exe , 1A2.Exf
please advise how can i achieve it , please advise
thank you
In the SP1 update of SSIS there was a call from the SSIS service that would attempt to validate itself against the http://crl.microsoft.com web site. If the SSIS service didn't have access to the internet then it would timeout and not start the service. In our company we have our development systems behind a firewall which only allows for limited internet access due to it being a development system.
Does the installation of SP2 remove this authentication restriction?

Is there a way you can open an SSIS package without validating it?
The reason is - when I take a package from PROD and open it in DEV - initially all settings-variables are wrong - and the validation takes heck of long time in that case. And then I need to change the variables and reload the package. And bloody hell - if I forgot to change a variable - I sometimes have to validate package 3 times. And sometimes - I only need to get visual look of package - so why do I always need to wait for validation...
We are going to be running a package repeatedly 24/7. The same package against the same data store, filtered using a "stageFlag" so as not to read rows previously processed. We have various timing statistics and have yet to fine tune; but on the surface it appears that it takes approximately three minutes to validate and another three minutes to run. If we have no additional data on the second run it still takes three minutes to complete - to do nothing but skip rows already processed.
Is it possible to set this up to run repeatedly without the validation on each iteration?
Any ideas as to how this would be accomplished would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Please suggest me the approach for handling the below custom validation in SSIS
Source: A Table in the database
Destination: One or More Tables in the database
Transformation:For each record in the source table, I have to do custom validation and redirect to one of the destination tables
Custom validation for each record include
1. Checking a set of fields are not matching with main record data in database - If so move to a duplicatelist table
2. Checking for set of fields have got any new values - If so make an entry in a newvaluesfound table
3. If no new/duplicate found move to success table
Approach 1
An OLEdb Source Task to point the source table
An OLEdb Transformation to call an SP for each record in the source
Concerns
The Transformation is implemented in SP(Custom validation & loading to destination)
Approach 2
An Script task from the control flow items - To call an SP in the database
Concerns
The Source, Transformation, Destination - everything managed in the SP
Suggestions needed
Is there any better approach of handling this type of requirement in SSIS
If I write all the code in SP, I may need to use cursors for looping through each record..
Thanks & Regards,
Kalyan
My SSIS package will just hang (do nothing) after validation of the package tasks. I realised that it does 2 validation. It then hits "starting exectuing" and then nothing. I mean nothing. It just stays the same. When I look into the logg file, the same message as in the output window. My package has parallel extract of data from the same datasource, but different tables. I dont know if that the problem but i really doubt it because i have done parallel table downloads countless times in version 2000. When i go into the data task window, the source task does no even indicate that its downloading (color yellow). Is there any reason why this will happen? Ooo, but the tasks executes just fine when i execute them individually (right click > execute).

I would like to know how to disable valiation of SSIS when the SSIS runs in server.
The SSIS takes about 20% of time to validate the environment.
Are there any configuration in SSIS to tell SSIS the environment is stable and no validation is required?
Thanks.
I am new to SSIS...
I have a very simple SSIS package that loads a text file into a table.
It works fine when I test it from Business Intelligence, but fails in PRODUCTION with the following error:
The file name "\????????.txt" specified in the connection was not valid.
Please help.
Hi,
I am quite new to SSIS (I was a DTS developer) and I have a specific requirement to validate all incoming data using regular expressions. For each row in my input file, all columns will need to be validated against an expression. We have approx 60 different input files (a combination of xml and text files) with column counts going from 10 up to 120.
Also each input file will contain a footer which will need to be validated for record counts.
I would like the solution to be as generic as possible as the requirements for each file are similar -the only difference being the column names and the expressions to check against. I would really rather not have a different data flow task for each input file type as there are so many.
Can anybody suggest the most efficient/reusable way to do this? What I was thinking of was this:
Split the input file into detail/footer
create a temporary table based on the input file type with CHECKconstraints (regular expressions) for each column
for each detail record load it into the temp table
redirect any failures to another destination e.g. sql error table
Any other ideas would be very helpfull
Many Thanks

Hi all,
I have a flat file which the first row contains the certain info. about this file. I want to read the first line from this file to determine if continue to next step. what's the task/transformation can be used to do this?

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.

Right now I am doing it in script component, as I need to log error if any thing is wrong
Is there any better way to do it,(derived column or any other component) so that I can log the error also.

Im newto SSIS. I want to develop package for data validation.
FirstName
1. Mandatory  field checking: if Null, reject the record
 2. If field length > 50, then reject the record
SSN
1. Â If field length > 12, then reject the record
2. If SSN is not in valid format, issue warning and process rhe record  without SSN value.
3. Valid format: 9 digit numeric values should present after striping off  all non-numeric characters.
4. Only send 9 digits to MDM
Like these i have 30 rules. And I have to shop the error msg if the validation fails like "Mandatory feild is missing".
Hello,
How do I convert VBSCRIPT code in a DTS package which is used for data validation to SQL 2005 SSIS?

I have SSIS Projects taking a long time to open with packages with a large number of data flows. Is there a way to turn off validation of metadata when a package opens? Turn off validation during execution on SSIS Service (after previously validated in dev)? Or be able to control when validation takes place in general?
In my one package (1 of 5) I have 43 data flows (with a single source to target mapping) in 4 sequence containers, and it takes approximately 2-3 seconds per source to target mapping and sequence container to validate which will translate to 1 ½ to 2 ½ minutes to open. When the project with all 100+ tables for the data warehouse goes through validation, I can make coffee in the time it takes to open the project. I have to delete *.suo file (or verify all packages are closed in the designer and save the project file), and when I open the project, I have to jump immediately to SSISÃ Work Offline to set it to not validate the metadata to be able to work in a timely fashion. DelayValidation=TRUE does not help much.
Running in debug mode, has an effect of causing packages that were not open and validated to go through validation though I am not running those packages. Validate once during design and run forever.
Even if I re-open a package that I just closed from designer and had gone through validation, it will go through the validation process again.
It would be great if there could be an on-demand option off the menu bar to allow one to control when validation can take place for a project, or a more granular validation option for a specific data flow or container.
When I push my SSIS packages up to my production server (which has a different data source than my developement environment) and I try to open the package on the production server, it takes forever for to validate all the steps of the SSIS package because it's trying to validate against a datasource that isnt there, so it just waits for each element it's validating to time out. This is exceptionally annoying.
Is there a way to turn off this validation 'feature'?
Hi
I have created a package which executes every 10 mins. Last week end for maintenance purpose, I shutdown my database. Now as an initial execution process, my package does the default validation steps on which the database connection validation step fails. As this is the default functionality of SSIS I am not able to capture this error. Is there anyway to capture this error inside SSIS Package?
Thanks in advance.

We have the following scenario: We receive CSV files every month for which SSIS packages were built to process the data. The following problems occur from time to time:
1. The structure of the CSV file changed (e.g. column added or removed)
2. There were no footers in the data, but now footers started to appear
3. Date format changed (e.g. used to be mm/dd/yyyy, but became mm.dd.yyyy)
4. Number format changed (e.g. from 2000 to 2,000)
Currently we have person who manually opens each file, and using our "validation document" validates to ensure none of these or similar problems occur. We would like to move away from this manual process if possible. I understand that items 3. and 4. could be caught by loading data into a staging table with VARCHAR data types, and performing validation before moving it any further.
Item 2 is a bit questionable (meaning depending on the footer size SSIS load could fail or not).
Item 1, however, is a sure fail of the SSIS package that directly loads the data into a table.
Thus I feel the two possible options are:
1. Create a custom script that will run through the file, row by row, apply all the necessary validations and report an error or continue if all checks out
2. Use some 3rd party tool to validate the files (semi-manually) before kicking off the SSIS processing.
OK. Here's my situation. I check for the existence of a dummy .txt file using a script. I send an e-mail if it does not exist and exit package. The .txt file only exists if another .xls file is present which I import. However, during the validation phase of the package, the package fails because the .xls file does not exist. Is there a way to bypass the validation step? The only solution I came up with is to have a two-step job. The first runs the file check step and sends the e-mail. The second attemps to run the package and fails. Not a very graceful exit.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an SSIS package authored in SSDT for VS 2013 that cancels itself immediately after validation completes and execution commences. This behavior occurs when executed either in VS 2013 or from within SQL Server. No error messages are thrown in either the debug window or the log output (log is capturing everything). The only thing that occurs differently on this package as compared to another package I am able to execute successfully is that a command line window briefly flashes when the package cancels itself—but it is gone so fast I cannot read it. The last several lines of the debug output are as follows:
-----------------

What circumstances an SSIS package would cancel itself without throwing any errors?
I am using SSIS to populate a star schema.
The issue is in the data flow for loading and setting the Fact table dimension keys (the dimensions are all loaded fine). After 16 rather pedestrian Lookup Transformations, I have an escalating problem adding additional Lookup transforms to the Data Flow. The problem is not in execution; the problem is adding more transforms in design mode.
Lookup # Fields in Data Flow Time to validate that lookup
<17 47 Sub-second
17 48 2 sec
18 49 4 sec
19 50 8 sec
20 51 16 sec
21 52 32 sec
22 53 64 sec
While I€™m intrigued by the mathematical progression that is forming here, the issue is that I have at least 6 more Lookups to perform. I hope you can see my dilemma.
I have gone to where it takes a little over 4 minutes each to validate the lookup transform and its associated Derived Column transform and Union transform (Total 12 Minutes). Not only does this add up to many idle minutes to each design step, BUT it breaks the debugger as it pre-validates the ENTIRE data flow before it ever switches into debugging mode.
Some notes:
1. It doesn€™t matter what order the Lookup transforms occur in, the timings are exactly the same.
2. I tried many Data Flow execution optimizations, but they don€™t improve the validation times (or even get a chance to improve the execution times!)
I realize this may be somewhat of a unique problem.
Thanks for any help you are able to lend.

I have a main package calling another package through the Execute Package task.
The main package is passing the Job Instance id as a parameter to the other package.
When i execute the Execute Package task the concerned package is not showing any execution progress.However when i set the Delay validation Property to True , I saw that the package executed instantly and the desired result was obtained.
I am not sure how the Delay Validation property worked for the cause , as in my package I had no scenario of a temp table being called or any other temporary variables being used which needed a Delay Validation.
I am creator of this package. This package used to work fine both from studio and deployed on server. I come back this project, but can't get package even runing debug in studio with protectionLevel set as EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey or EncryptSensitiveWithPassword.
Does anyone see this problem before?

I have a package set up basically with two consecutive data flows. The first flow takes data from an OLE DB Source and stores it into a Flat File Destination. The second flow uses this same flat file as a source, alters the data, and stores the data in the same flat file, overwriting the old file. I set DelayValidation to True on the flat file. Still, here are the error messages I am receiving:
Error: 0xC020200E at DO, Flat File Destination [7676]: Cannot open the datafile "C:Temp.txt".
Error: 0xC004701A at DO, DTS.Pipeline: component "Flat File Destination" (7676) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020200E.
I am new to SSIS, so I'm sure I have a setting wrong or something. Is the problem that SSIS is trying to write to a file from which it is simultaneously reading data?
Thank you.
Hi all,
I am new in SSIS. Anyone know how to valify number of record that I load from csv file to SQL database table?
For example, the source file call product.csv and target table in database named DSS table name PRODUCT. I load data from flat file to table then I need verification if count between source and target not match send e-mail to me.
Thanks.

I've built an SSIS package in SSDT 2014. The package was running successfully
When I close and open the package it hangs on validation of single task out of all.
OLEDB DESTINATION Task
I have tried several times to close the SSDT and open but facing same issue.
These seems like bugs in SSIS/SSDT. What would cause the relocation of some script code to hang the validation process like this?
Hello Experts,
I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle).
PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not..
What should go here ?
