SSIS Package (Data Flow) Validation Time Going Exponential

Jul 25, 2007

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.

SSIS Package Validation Taking A Long Time

Apr 19, 2006

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 ˝ to 2 ˝ 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 SSISĂ 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.

Data Flow Source For MS Access In SSIS Package

Jul 26, 2006

Hi all...

I'm creating a SSIS in the designer view of SQL Server BI Dev. Studio (SQL Server 2005)

I need to import a whole table from MS Access into my local SQL Server.(this task will be performed weekly, so once working I'll schedule a job for it)

I've created a 'FILE' connection to MS Access in the 'Connection Managers'.

When I'm on the 'Data Flow' tab I can't find a Data Flow Item to use as a MS Access connection.
(available on the 'Data Flow Sources' are only: DataReader, Excel, Flat File, OLE DB, Raw File and XML Sources)

What am I doing wrong/missing?

Thanks for your help.

Logging Data Flow Steps In SSIS Package

Jul 14, 2006

Hello.

I am using the "SSIS Log Provider for SQL Server" to log events to a table for "OnError" and "OnPostExecute" events of a package. This works as expected and provides a nice clean output on the execution steps of the package.

I am curious as to why I do not see any detail for any/all tasks that fall under the "Data Flow" section of the package though. For instance, on my "Control Flow" tab, I added a "Data Flow" task that simply loads a few tables from a target to destination server. However, there is nothing shown in the logging output. Just that a Data Flow task was initiated. And when I'm configuring this logging under "SSIS-->Logging" in the checkbox area on the left, you cannot "drill into" data flow steps.

Is there a reason why there is no detailed logging for Data Flow tasks? Would getting to that require me to create a custom log provider?

Thanks for the help.

Multiple Data Flow Tasks In One SSIS Package

Jul 25, 2007

What are the advantages and disadvantages of having multiple data flow tasks in one SSIS package?



Is this a good idea at all considering the workflow may be similar now but may change in the future? Should it be left as one data flow per package?

SSIS Package Hangs In Data Flow, Magically Works After Opening And Closing Components

Nov 2, 2006

We're experiencing a problem where intermittently our SSIS packages will hang. There are no log errors or events in the event viewer. It will happen whether the package is executed from the SQL Job Agent or run from BIDs. When running from BIDs it appears to hang inside one of the data flows (several parallel pipes with sorts, merge joins etc...). It appears to hang in multiple pipes within the data flow component. The problem is reproducable, we just kill it and re-run, and it appears to hang in the same places.

Now here's the odd thing: as we simply open and close some of the components in the pipe line after the place it hangs, a subsequent run will go further in the pipeline before hanging. If we open and close all the components after the point it initially hung, the data flow will run fine, from there on out. When I say "open and close" I mean no changes are made, we simply double-click the component, like a merge join, then click 'close.'

To me this does not seem like a memory problem but likely something is wrong with the metadata, where opening a component and closing it somehow alters the metadata to "right it".

This seems to occur intermittently after we make modifications to the package. It's like if you make any mod, even unrelated to the data flow, you then have to go through and open and close every component in your package to ensure it will work. Again, no errors or warnings are fired.

Has anyone seen this type of problem?

I have two columns in Informix data base One has Data Type of date and another column of data type string.
Time is stored in string format. I have to Validate wether both are correct, not null, greater than 1753 and concate to get one datetime field to transfer to SQL Server.
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.

Opening SSIS Package Without Validation

Jun 11, 2007

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...

Another SSIS Package Validation Question

Jan 20, 2006

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.

SSIS Package Is Hanging After Validation

Mar 14, 2006

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).

SSIS Package Hangs On Validation In Visual Studio

Jan 19, 2007

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'?

How To Capture Validation Errors Inside SSIS Package

Oct 24, 2007

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.

SQL Server 2014 :: SSIS Package Cancels Itself After Successful Validation

Dec 15, 2014

I 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:

-----------------
Information: 0x40043006 at Merge Info, SSIS.Pipeline: Prepare for Execute phase is beginning.
Information: 0x40043007 at Merge Info, SSIS.Pipeline: Pre-Execute phase is beginning.
Information: 0x402090DC at Merge Info, All Users CSV [2]: The processing of file "C:...AllUsers.csv" has started.

Information: 0x400490F5 at Merge Info, Lookup Org [47]: Lookup Org has cached a total of 26719 rows.

[Code] ....

What circumstances an SSIS package would cancel itself without throwing any errors?

Possible Validation Problem With Flat File Between Two Data Flows In A Package

Apr 17, 2007

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.

One-time Data Flow Lookup

Jan 15, 2007

(Just getting started with SSIS) I have a data flow task with source S1 and destination D. The mappings from S1 to D are straightforward, but additionally, I need to lookup a value from source S2 one time and map the value a column in D for every row of S1. Note that this lookup based on a constant value independent of S1, and therefore no column mappings are involved (this lookup is essentially "standalone").

I would expect I could do the lookup, assign the value to a data flow level variable, then reference that variable in a derived column transform or some such thing, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do the lookup in the data flow task and assign it to a variable. Am I on the right track here, or...?

Asynchronous Data Flow Tasks How To Run More Than 4 At A Time

Sep 25, 2006

Hi guys,

i have a for each loop and it has about 20 data flow tasks (simple data extractions). i notice when i run the package it only runs up to 4 data flow tasks at a time. others have to wait till one of the first 4 flows finishes.

i was wondering if there's a way to change the limit of how many data flow tasks can run at a time. is there a property some where ?

i know this will be stressfull to the server, but the server is well equiped with CPU power and memory, so performance will not be an issue.

any thoughts?

Package Hanging On Data Flow Task

Apr 17, 2008

In my control flow, I have a container which contains an Execute SQL Task, and then upon success, a Data Flow Task. The SQL Task truncates my datamart table. In the data flow task, I execute a stored procedure (through a variable) that populates that same datamart table. I can execute the stored procedure's select statement in Management Studio with no problems in about ten seconds. However, in the SSIS package, the SQL task completes successfully, and then it hangs indefinitely on the data flow step. In the Data Flow tab, none of the boxes are even turning yellow. Why won't it complete? When I move the Exec SQL Task to another container, the package executes fine, but it should be in the Load Phase container.
