SSIS..Problem Parsing FlatFile Source

Dec 8, 2006

I'm trying to Move data from a FlatFile Source to an SQL destination

row delimiter {LF}
Column Delimiter is "comma"
Number of columns in each row : say 7

Example Rows

Example 1:
1,1,1,1,1,1,1{LF}2,2,2,2,2,2,2{LF}3,3,3,3,3,3,3{LF}4,4,4,4,4,4,4{LF}

Example 2:
1,1,1,1{LF}2,2,2,2,2,2,2{LF}3,3,3,3{LF}4,4{LF}

There is no problem parsing Example 1:
With Example 2.

The Old DTS used to parse fine..when it encounters a row delimiter it fills the rest of the columns with null...

While the New SSIS flat File source is following column count in each row...and is considering " 1{LF}2" as column item rather than a row delimiter...

Is there any way around it or is it a bug?

Thanks for any help in advance

SSIS Programmaing - How To Map Flatfile Source Columns To SQL Server Destination?

Dec 7, 2007

Hi,

I am new to SSIS programming and trying to export data from a flatfile source to SQL server destination table dynamically. I need to get the table schema info (column length, data type etc.) from SQL server table and then map the source columns from flatfile to destination table columns.

I am referring to one of the programming samples from Microsoft and another excellent article by Moim Hossain. Can someone help me understand how to map the Source columns to destination table columns depending on table schema? Please help.


Thanks

FlatFile Parsing Problem - Urgently Need Assistance!

Mar 6, 2006

We have a BIG problem that has been occurring for quite sometime. We have a RAGGED-RIGHT FFS (FlatFileSource) component which receives a FF and then transforms to XML. We define 10 FIELDS with the last field as {CRLF} per ragged right style. Simple right? The source file is sent to us from multiple separate groups, some of which don€™t use the last two fields and have early line termination, so they basically are not there. The problem is that when we define X amount of fields in SSIS, it expects X amount of fields to be there. So when we receive the source file that doesn€™t contain last two fields, SSIS tries to read in the next line, and in most cases successfully places the fields from the next line into the missing fields. Now what we end up with is a source file with 10 rows, but only half successfully transformed, with every other row fitted into the last two XML fields. SSIS completely ignores the {CRLF} until those specific numbers of spaces/fields have been met €“ even if it has to go onto the next line to get them. This seems horribly wrong to me. I would think that at the very least there should be some type of validation that prevents it from grabbing the next line. I thought that is what fixed-length SSIS style is for, and ragged right for allowing to parse multiple rows. We could enforce all clients to produce X char spaces (and we do), but there can be cases in any aspect where a file could get accidentally sent over with a shortened row. I have heard from certain individuals that SSIS adapter wasn€™t designed with this in mind. Is this true, I am to believe that this would still get parsed without throwing any errors and potentially damage the ERP system it is going into? If this is the case then I feel extremely disheartened about SSIS €“ especially with all of the great advancements it has made.
 
We desperately need a workaround or at the very least some way to validate that a new row {CRLF} isn€™t getting picked up in the first row of the flat file connection. Please can someone help ASAP!?

Skip A Row In The Flatfile Source

May 20, 2008

I am importing a flatfile and cannot seem to deal with an issue that seems quite simple.

The files have a header row with column names and those rows start with '#'

However sometimes this header row will also be present in the middle of the file.

The Source tries to parse this row and fails

Is there any way to tell the flafile source to skip rows that start with a particular character like comment rows?

Populate Flatfile Source From Variable

May 21, 2007

We are storing incoming flatfiles into a text field in a table and then we are processing this table on a regular basis. What I would like to do is to get this flatfile from the textfield and populate a flatfile source with it, but so far I have only been able to do that with XML files as there are no option for doing that with the flatfile source. Using the disk as a temporary storage for the flatfile is prohibited.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this?

Execute A Flatfile Source To Oledb Destination For Each File In A Folder.

Jan 24, 2007

Hello, I wanted to do the following.

Copy a full directory from source to destination (Done)

then for each file on the destination directory,it must process that file and insert rows on the table.

So I created a foreach loop, and created a varriable aclled CURRENTFILENAME, and assigned it into the foreachloop to index 0.



Inside the foreachloop I created a dataflow task, in the dataflow task I dragged a flat file source and an oledb destination, but I noticed that the flat file source requires flat file manager, and the flat file manager requires a unique FILE NAME. I cant put this c:copia*.txt.

I took a loot at flat file source properties and it has associated the flat file manager, but I can not assign the filename to the variable from the foreach.



Any ideas please

Flat File Source Column Parsing Error

May 12, 2006

Hello All,



I have come across this issue with the Flat File Source when the delimiter is set to a comma.

"""KAILUA KONA,HI""","CA",

In the data snippet above and with the setting of using a comma as a column delimiter

and a " as the text qualifer.

the data will be parsed in this fashion:

"""KAILUA as a column:

HI""" as a column

CA as column

when it should be

"KAILUA,HI" as a column

CA as column.



Is there a way to let the Flat File Source to let it know not to parse the data in multiple quotes ?



Thank you

Eric Flores

Flat File Source - If An Error Occurs, Continue Parsing The Remaining Columns In The Row Before Failing

Jan 14, 2008

Hello everyone,


I have a package that extracts data from a Flat File. If any errors or truncation occur during the extraction of the input data, the package should fail. All fields that have erroneous values should be reported in the log file.


My Solution:
- I have created a Data Flow Task that contains a Flat File Source Adapter and a dummy destination.

- I have left the default "Error Output" configuration of the Flat File Source adapter, namely if a truncation or an error occur for a certain column, then the reaction is "Fail Component".


Problem:
This configuration gives me only the first erroneous column in the row being processed.


Question:
Is it possible to make the Flat File Source adapter continue parsing the current row before it fails? This way, I would be able to get all the erroneous columns in the row in one shot.


Thanks in advance...

Using XML Source In SSIS Vs Script Source To Parse Xml Files.

Sep 14, 2007



Hi

I am having a huge xml file with nested section.
i also have a xsd file for that xml.
i have a destination table where the data from the xml should be loaded into.
i am using the xml source transformation. But o get all the data i need to use multiple merje joins to get the data in a single row which i can insert into the destination.i was not quiet convinced with using so many joins.

so i tried using the script source transformation where i am using xml objects to get the node and dynamically construction the data row. and the output is then inserted into the destination.
on comparing the two approach the one using the script source is working much faster than the xml source transformation.

i wanted to know is there any limitaion using the script source to parse through xml files.
also i would like to know any other better way of getting the data from xml source without using the joins.

Source Code For The Standard SSIS Components That Come With SSIS?

Jun 2, 2006

Hi,

I'm finding that the standard components often just don't quite meet my
needs, but would only need some fairly minor changes to save me and my team a lot of
work (and produce more elegant solutions). So I was just wondering whether the source code was available for the standard components that come with SSIS, or if there is anyway to extend their functionality?
Or do you just have to start form scratch?

Thanks,

SSIS And Data Source

Aug 10, 2007

Hello,

I have SSIS solution which has multiple packages and one Main package which starts all others.

I also have 2 Data Sources which I use on each package.

I need to do my testing on different Data Sources. When I try to change Data Source from one database to another - SSIS is getting confused and fails on the connections or starting to insert to the previous database.

Could you please explain the steps for doing it. What is the problem here?
Can I use Windows Attentications in data source or use special account?

Also some confusion here with Config file. Should I create Config file just from Main package or from each package. For now I am working with a Source code, but later I would need to change connections string before running the executable. If I change the string in my Main package - would it be understandable in all others?

Please give me details here.

Thanks.

SSIS OLE DB Source Error

Oct 3, 2006

I am creating an OLE DB Data Source in an SSIS Data Flow - it is calling a SQL Server 2005 stored procedure, which accepts 3 parameters and returns a result set, but I get the following error:

"There is a data source column with no name. All data source columns must have a name."

I have have tested the output of this proc a million times, and every column has a name! I am also able to call a different proc in the same way, without error:

EXEC pProc @DT = '20060928', @Id = 1015, @Debug = 0

Any ideas what could possibly be causing this error - assuming all of my columns DO have names??

Thanks : )

SSIS SQL OLE DB Source - SQL Command Vs Mapping

Oct 10, 2007

I created a Stored Proc to compute all the data I need to export to a CSV file.
I use the provider MS OLE DB Provider for SQL Server.
It's a very simple package with a single Data Flow Task.
This flow task is using an OLE DB Source to call a simple SQL Command : Exec MyStoredProc.
There are no params.

This Stored Proc is using table variables to compute the data.
It takes about 10 seconds to return anything.
The problem is that the mapping doesn't work with the OLE DB Source.
There are no fields at all shown in the mapping screen.

I tried to replace the Stored Proc by a version which only returns fields and no data.
Then the mapping would work just fine.
The package is then compiling and working fine.
But everytime I put back the real stored proc, even without changing the SQL Command, the SSIS execution breaks at execution.
It keeps saying :

"Error: 0xC0202005 at Data Flow Task, OLE DB Source [477]: Column "RecordType" cannot be found at the datasource."

My guess is that SSIS doesn't wait the 10 secs and thinks the Stored Proc is not returning anything.
What can I do to make this work ?


Thanks,

Vincent

SSIS Project And Source Control

Aug 26, 2007

Our team has the following problem:
I create a SSIS project in VS and add it to Team Source Control. When the project and all it's files exist on a machine and I want to open the project from Source Control, everithing works fine, but when another developer, who doesn't have the files on his machine, wants to open the project from Source Control he is required to check out the project file.

I've investigated the problem and found out that each project has a database file (with .database extension) and project file contains a reference to it. Once the user opens from Team Source Control a project that isn't presented on a target machine, the VS creates a new database file on a local machine and insists to change the reference in the project file.

Does anyone have a workaround for the problem?

Thanks

SSIS XML Source With Random Child ID??

Jan 17, 2006

Hi,

I am trying to load a XML document using SSIS into relational tables and pulling my hair out.

In it's simpliest form I have:

<Batch>

<POSBasket>

<Header>

<SomeDetail/>

</Header>

</POSBasket>

<POSBasket>

<Header>

<SomeDetail/>

</Header>

</POSBasket>

</Batch>



Now, when you have a parent child situation, you get a column in the output called xxx_Id, in my case, POSBasket_Id. This allows you to relate your header back to your root and SomeDetail back to header etc etc.

Loading all of this in parrallel does not work because there is nothing unique once the load has happened more than once. i.e. You will have repeating POSBasket_Id's as well as Header_Id's.

I ended up loading POSBasket into a table with an identity column. Once done, I would load the header details and do a lookup (eek) on the POSBasket table by using POSbasket_Id "where isComplete = 0" (A flag to tell me current import).

Great, this works find with 1 item in my document. Add a second (2 POSBaskets) and it randomly works. (???) Add more and it hardley works. The look ups are failing with "no match found".



On using Data Views, I see that each XML source creates different POSBasket_Id's. Some matching, some not. Also seem to randomly match.

My question is why? Why would there be the ID if they differ when loading them from the same document? They not even unique across sources.



Bug or "by design"?

Anyone got a better method for doing this?



Cheers,

Crispin

Validating Source Schema Using SSIS

Sep 23, 2007

Greetings!!

I have a MsAccess db containing a table called Employees which i am transforming to a staging table in Sql server 2005. Everything is working fine. I am using Foreach File enumerator and uploading the files one by one.However I now plan to validate the schema of MsAccess before uploading it. For eg: My employee table in msaccess is as follows :




Code Snippet
Employees
empId int,
empName varchar(60),
empAge int




Since the files come from different vendor, while looping, i want to perform a check if the empid or empAge are not of type long or string etc. If they are of type smallint,i have no problem.

However if they are larger datatypes than the the ones kept in Sql server, then the file needs to be logged in the db with the reason and moved to the error folder. In short, if the datatypes in access tables are smaller than those in Sqlserver, allow it, otherwise reject it. THe schema of Sqlserver table is same as of that of Employees in msaccess.

I want to compare the schema of the incoming access tbl fields with my desired schema and all mdb's having data types that are higher or incompatible with the desired schema should be moved to the error.

How do I do it.

Thanks ,
Ron

Large XML File Source In SSIS????

Jan 19, 2007

Hi,

I have a problem where I want to import a 1.6 GB XML file with SSIS into a SQL Server database. My hunch is that SSIS is not very good with handling such large amount of XML data. My test shows that SSIS tries to read all of the file into memory.

Does anyone know if there is any solution of solving this memory problem. My problem is that I want to take this source XML file import it into a database, make some transformations on it (eliminate duplicates etc) then produce a NEW XML file as output in a different XSD-format.

Is really SSIS the right tool for this operation?

The source XML file also have mixed content on Complex Types which seems to be a problem for SSIS as well.

Best regs,

//Patrick
