Hello,
I have an OLE DB Source and i want to transform the data type fields of the table before i export the table in an OLE DB Destination.
Is there a way to transform numeric value to float, and numeric to nvchar?
Thank you in advance.
I have to perform several data checks before loading data into target table. For example I am having 1 flat file with below column
Id Name Age
Int Varchar(100) Int
My requirement is to create package, checks will be performed on each record, column of the files. Any records which failed the checks considered as error records and will be written to the exception table.
Hi ,
I am Using Derived column between Source and Destination Control. the Source input column PriceTime is String Data type. but in the Destination is should be a DATE TIME column. How to Convert this string to DateTime in the Derivied Column Control.
I already tried to in the Derived column control
PRICEDATETIME <add as new column> ((DT_DBTIMESTAMP)priceDateTime) database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP]
But still throwing Error showing type case probelm
Pls help me on this
Thanks & Regards

High all,
I have a very simple SSIS package that is moving data from a DB2 database to a Teradata box. I've run it around 10 times, twice it pushed data over, the balance of the time, it executes with no error, but moves nothing over. In the "incomplete" runs, a command line box pops up for half a second, then the package ends.
Does anyone have ideas as to why this behavior is occurring?
Thanks,
Mark
My first period using SSIS in a real-world application convinced me that there
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".

I am trying to read in a flat file, transform the fields and store into a destination database.
In DTS, this works using Transform Data Task Properties. I define the columns and then have a VB script on the Transformations tab that changes any bad data.
Is there a way to do this in SSIS that I can define the column transformations and re-use my VB scripts?

i have too many DTS packages to migrate to SSIS, and while examining a DTS package in BIDS (converted with the migration utility) i tried to edit the resulting migrated package, which opened the DTS interface with the two connection icons joined by the big fat arrow with a gear on it...not exactly what i had in mind, iow, it looks like SSIS on the outside, but its still DTS on the inside.
So I stripped out a series of components from a more complex package hoping that simplifying it would reveal the contents of old DTS Transformations tab at least partially set up in a Derived Column transformation.
Can i get there from here, or must i recreate every stinking definition in a derived column manually from the ground up?
thanks very much for your help
I can't figure out how to put nested tables into the Data Mining Model Training Transform (SSIS). I can do a simple case table, but how do you get those nested tables with DM Training Transformation? Any ideas? Samples?

Hello.
i have a database with 300 tables. All the data types of the fields of my tables are custom. Ex. IFGint:int and stuff like that.
I want to know how can i through a stored procedure, change in batch mode all the fields of my tables. I don't want to modify by hand everytable. It's a lot of work and i think that maybe there might be a way for this programatically.
thanks in advance
I'm using the SQL below to work out recruitment figures. The query works well, but I now need to build this query into a DotNet application as a webpage. I therefore need to declare and manipulate the values such as 'Total', 'Jan' to 'Dec' and 'YearRecruited' in order to write these values into my chosen data control. I therefore need to know the datatypes of these calculated values.
Total I think is straightforward as DNAScreeningID is an int datatype. But what about the others?
SELECT YEAR(SamplingDate) AS YearRecruited,
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 1 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Jan',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 2 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Feb',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 3 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Mar',
COUNT(CASE WHEN month(SamplingDate) = 4 THEN DNAScreeningID END) AS 'Apr',
[Code] ....
I want change all field in database to new datatype.I want change data from Small Integer to Integer but there are the relation in each table.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table that I am using in a package to create an extract from. In that table is an address field called "Street" that is 255 characters in length. My table also has 3 additional fields called address_1, address_2 and address_3 that are each 50 characters in length because that is the requirement for my extract. I need to split the address field up in such a way that if it is longer than 50 characters, it backs up to the first space in the address prior to character #50, puts that info in street1, then from that cut off point used in street1, puts the next 50 up to the prior blank space in street2, then the remainder in street3. Where the extract will be used only has three 50 character fields so if the data runs more than 150 characters, the street3 data will just have to be truncated. No way around that, but I don't anticipate any address getting close to that long. Although doing such a split would be much easier using SQL, the solution requirement is that it be done in the package, not using SQL to do so.
I'm assuming I need to use a "derived column transformation" in my data flow. But, I can't figure out how to do what I need to do with a derived column transformation.
Example of info in an address:
123 Chicamauga Avenue South, Across the Street from International Center Square, Apartment Number 17650 Tokiwa-machi Machida
position 1-50:
123 Chicamauga Avenue South, Across the Street fro
Therefore, Street1 would need to get:
123 Chicamauga Avenue South, Across the Street

Hi JayH (or anyone). Another week...a new set of problems. I obviously need to learn .net syntax, but because of project deadlines in converting from DTS to SSIS it is hard for me to stop and do that. So, if someone could help me some easy syntax, I would really appreciate it.
In DTS, there was a VBScript that copied a set of flat files from one directory to an archive directory after modifying the file name. In SSIS, the directory and archive directory will be specified in the config file. So, I need a .net script that retrieves a file, renames it and copies it to a different directory.

Here is the old VBScript Code:
Public Sub Main()
Option Explicit

I am copying a simple table from a Sql Server 2005 database to an *.sdf mobile database.
I am brand new to SSIS and I am probably doing something wrong. But after executing the SSIS package all the rows and all the fields are NULL in the destination database. I put a datagrid viewer between the OLE DB Source and the Sql Server compact edition destination and I can see the real data which is obviously not ALL NULL.
Does anyone have a clue as to why it would be doing this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks...
I would like to fetch the data flow component name while package is executing. Since system variable named [System::SourceName] only fetches name of the control flow tasks? Is there a way to capture them?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWould anyone happen to have any pointers or know of any good code examples to either programmatically change the type of an input column when it is passed through the component, or add a new column to the output? I am extracting data from an Oracle database which is in Julian date format (represented within SSIS as a DT_NUMERIC column) and I need to to either transform the input column holding it into a date column, or to dynamically add a new output column holding the transformed data.
Many thanks

Hi, all my friends,
This is another rookie one.
Is there a way in SSIS dev environment that will let you convert/cast data type at desing time?
Under data flow mappings, there are so many things you can do, but why I did not find any easy way to convert?
I got this validation warning about not supportng converting type DT_STR to DT_I4, or something related.
Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks!
Hi All,
I am moving some numerical data from SQL server to excel. After the data is moved, i am getting green flag in excel cell to which the data is moved. I have configured the excel column to accept only numbers, but still i am getting green flag in excel cells. When i click the cell i am getting this message "The number in the cell is formatted as text or preceded by a apostrophe"
Can anyone tell me how can i over come the issue.
Thanks

If I have an executesql task that returns a result set, if the result set contains a tinyint, I can't find what SSIS data type to declare the variable as. They all cause errors.
View 10 Replies View RelatedDear All,
the situation is that i have a column data comes from flat file and all i want to do is to check that the incoming column is numeric(12,3) and if the incoming data exceed that size "12,3" exception or redirect the row is happened.
the problem that i try to apply that with the data conversion or Derived column component but it in case of the scale of the incoming data exceed 3 the component trim until 3 scale.
i also try to perform it with the flat file data source component but i face a problem that if the data in the column is empty then flat file data source component read the numeric column as Zero
i hope someone help me coz i need to handle it soon.
best wishes

I have a some raw data in a string that looks like
'1989'
I need that to become numeric 19.89
if I define a type double for rawAmount
and do this:
rawAmount = CInt(iRest.Substring(41, 4))
Row.amount2 = rawAmount / 100
where row.amount2 is a type double precision float from my script component task output, I get:
19.899999999999999
what output should i use in this data flow component to get 19.89.
thanks.
I'm building packages programmatically and all is well. I have a new custom transform that I developed. It also works fine. Now I'm trying to add my new component to my packages when I programmatically build them, and I'm unable to do that.
Has anyone added their own custom components to a programmatically built package successfully?
I get a COM error on the line that calls ProvideComponentProperties. I've attempted various modifications including not overriding ProvideComponentProperties or just having it do nothing. I always get the same result. What I don't understand is that the custom transform works and handles ProvideComponentProperties fine when it is added to a package in BIDS.
Thanks.

OK I migrated a DTS package from MS SQL 2000 to MS SQL 2005 64-bit SSIS. OK so I fixed a problem with a Double Global Variable... Now I am stuck at a connection to Oracle and it returning data... Here is the error message:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "Remedy_Count": "Unsupported data type on result set binding 0.".
My SQL Statement is this:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Expr1
FROM DB.MYTABLE
When I run it from the Query Builder it returned this:
EXPR1 = 2983
Here are some details from the General Page on the Execute SQL Task
ResultSet - Single row
ConnectionType - OLE DB
Connection - Oracle Provider for OLE DB
SQLSourceType - Direct input
BypassPrepare - True
In the Result Set I have The following:
Result Name - Variable Name
0 - Remedy_Count
So... what can I do to fix this. I have the Remedy_Count set as a:
EvaluateAsExpression - False
Value - 2414
ValueType - Double
I have tried setting the ValueType to Object and other things... Same error... I read some where about how SSIS has issues when Oracle returns a Numeric type data. Can someone help me with this? Anything you all can tell me would be great.
Hi,
Need a guidance on consuming the WCF service with complex type in the SSIS package.
I have a WCF service with complex type inside the complex type (Nested complex type) in the web method as an argument. When I try to use this WCF service in the SSIS web service task, I get an error "The web method has unsupported arguments".
I am able to consume the WCF service with the web method having Complex type and simple/prmitive type in side that as argument.
For example:
The web method in WCF service which accepts the argument as comlex type say "Employee" whose structure is:
Employee
{
FName String;
LName String;
Age int
}
It is possible to consume this WCF service and pass the arguments.
But when the Employee complex type is changed to have one more complex type in side it it give the above mentioned error. The Employee type is modified as:
Employee
{
FName String;
LName String;
Age String
Type EmployeeType;
}
EmployeeType
{
type string;
}
Now I get the error Web Method has unsupported arguments.
Can this be done in SSIS?

Hi,
I want to insert the contents of a data file into a SQL Server table with XML datatype column using SSIS. I am fairly new to SSIS and script tasks.
Example:
Salary Data file:
EmpID, Name, Salary
100, John, 100000
200, Scott, 200000
Database Table:
create table xmlTable (id int identity(1,1), xmlColumn XML)
The contents of the file needs to be written to xmlTable. For each row in the Salary Data file there will be a corresponding row in the xmlTable.
xmlTable (Result):
1, <EmpID 100...>
2,<EmpID 200...>
Any help with details is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
I'm contemplating a sql server archive strategy that rolls really old data off any sort of dbms and onto low cost media like dvds in a non relational archive format. I dont want to ever worry about these archives spanning different versions of sql when i go to retrieve a range of data that happens to span sql versions (eg one disc was sourced from 2005 another by 2008 but my report needs a union of both).
So I'm thinking about neutral/efficient formats for these archives and a live homegrown catalog that can determine exactly what disc(s) need to be mounted based on passed from and to date parameters...all so that the data that might span discs (and versions and maybe even schemas) can be merged and loaded into my sql version d'jour's "throw away" archive database for a one time report or other unplanned activity.
I remember raw data types being very convenient as an ETL format for our customers who have ssis, but wouldn't want our sqlexpress customers to be left without the archiving capability. Do the "things" that read and write raw data files really originate in some special T-SQL command that all sql editions can use, or is it strictly an ssis thing?
We have an SSIS package that reads in a tab delimited file and throughs the data into a SQL Server 2005 table. The package worked fine on the test files but when we recieved the production files we are getting the error message:
Invalid data for type "numeric".
Needless to say this is not very discriptive. I ran a trace on the DB durning the call and its doing a bulk insert
BULK INSERT [dbo].[FNIAllAppData]
FROM 'GlobalDTSQLIMPORT 00000000000015b800000000009fbd88'
WITH (DATAFILETYPE = 'DTS_Buffers', CODEPAGE = 'RAW', CHECK_CONSTRAINTS, TABLOCK)
When I changed the Data Flow Destination off to OLE DB Destination the error does not occure and all records are loaded successfully.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks.
It seems I can do the type conversion in two place:
1. The advanced editor for flat file source => Input and output roperties. And I can set the output columns data type properties there.
2. Using a Data conversion box in Data flow transformation.
Any difference between these two? Which one should be used?
