SSIS As A ETL Tool For Conversion Where Source And Target Data Is Both On Non SQL Server.
Feb 12, 2008
Hi, I am less of a technical but more of a analyst professional and right now investgating on various tools / options for the new conversion project I will be leading in insurance client. One of the tools that client want to use is SSIS but the source and target database is not on SQL server but plans are to build a staging SQL server database for transformation. Does SSID supports this kind of ETL process where both source and target system are non SQL servers.
Can anyone help me out in getting the information or execution progress of a package like "number of records migrated", "which component is getting executed at present",etc...when we migrate the datas using the package which we have created programmatically and trying to execute the package programatically.We can see these informations in the the "progress tab" when we execute the package using BIDS in SSIS.
I have a SSIS package that simply moves data from a SQL database A to another SQL database B. I have update (increased) the size of a nvarchar column, on both A and B.I am wondering if there is a way to "refresh" somehow the SSIS package so I don't have to rebuild and redeploy it.The error I get now is a truncation error: "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page".
Can anyone recomend an EXTREEMLY user friendly web based data mapping / conversion tool? I am wanting to transform csv, xml, database sources into csv, xml, db sources. There are a ton of Windows based applications (ie: www.altova.com / mapforce). I am looking for something I can expose via the web...
users has ability to upload a csv file and then define how the data would be mapped to an output source (say another csv or xml). In addition having functions like concantination, sum, if-exists, etc...
Does SSIS have a user friendly interface or has someone written some interactive tools on top of SSIS.
I'm encountering a very peculiar situation when I'm trying to compare source and target data using conditional split. Following is the Data Flow and how I'm trying to achieve this.
Source Data : Col_A (PK) Col_2 1 100 8 500 Target Data : Col_A (PK) Col_2 1 100 3 700 8 500 Look-up Target on Col_A to check for existing records. Now we have four columns in Look-up match output: Col_A, Col_B, Lkp_Col_A (Target Col), Lkp_Col_B (Target Col).
Conditional Split: Compare Col_B with Lkp_Col_B
Update target if there is any change in the existing value of Col_B.When I'm running the package for every record in source, the conditional split fails and even when there is no change in Col_B, some of the records (Not all and quite randomly) get updated with the same value. If I run the package for few records, it works absolutely fine.
I'm trying to build a DTSX package that FTP's an XML file to the local file system and then imports it into an existing table.
My "Data Flow" for the package starts with an XML Source component and then goes to Data Conversion component and then to an OLE DB Destination component.
It all executes with out error and seems to work fine, but when I look at the data in the table after I've run the package it seems to have inserted the appropriate number of rows from the XML file but all of the column values are NULL.
All of the data in the XML file is surrounded by <![CDATA[ ]]> and I discovered that if I remove the CDATA wrapper by hand then it inserts the data properly. The only problem is that I'm not in a position to have the data provider remove the CDATA tags and some of the data in the XML file needs the CDATA wrapper or else it will not validate.
Anyone know of anything I can do to get the CDATA to import properly?
Hi, I have to transfer data from JDEdwards source system to SQL Server 2005 using SSIS. Is it possible for me to connect to JDEdwards directly from ODBC Connection Manager provided by SSIS. If not then what is the way to implement this
In this situation do I need a proxy or forwarder at both ends to prevent connection issues? Are there plans to handle this in future SSSB upgrades. Thanks.
Should I be able to use a SQL Server Compact Edition sdf file as the data source for the SSIS Import and Export Wizard?
When I select the .net Framework Provider for compact Edition from the data source drop down, I get a message box with "An error occured which the SSIS Wizard was not prepared to handle. Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. (mscorlib) Specified method is not supported. (System.Data.SqlServerCe)"
We have a user with a sdf file that will no longer sync, so we wanted to get her data from sdf file tables into SQL Server tables quickly and easily. Since the SSIS wizard wouldn't work with the sdf data source, we copied SQL Server Mgmt Studio query results into an Excel spreadsheet via the Clipboard, them imported those records with SSIS. But we need a repeatable process in case this happens in the future.
We tried to reinitialize her merge replication subscription with SQL Server Mgmt studio, and with C# code, but none of that would work.
How many MS data provider options are available for SQL Server compact edition? I see ".Net Framework Data Provider for Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition" in the SSIS data source drop down, but shouldn't I also see an OLE-DB Provider for SQL Server Compact Edition?
This is all on my XP workstation where I can successfully write C# code for SQL Server Compact data access with Assembly = System.Data.SqlServerCe = C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 8Common7IDEPublicAssembliesSystem.Data.SqlServerCe.dll. So I think I have the proper tools installed.
I need to create an Bulk upload utility using ASP.Net and SQL Server. Below is the process for the uploads -
Excel Template wherein user will enter the details. A Tab-delimited output file will be generated using the VBA. There are 2 tables - one is Temp Table which is replica of the the final table and second is the final table Using File.OpenText(filePath).ReadLine() - All the Rows from the tab delimited data file will be inserted into DataTable.
using SQLBulkCopy the tab-delimited data file data will be inserted into the Temp Table.
Data will be validated based on the data inserted in the temp table. If the data as errors then the temp table will be cleared else the data will be inserted from the temp table to the final table.
My Issue is that in both the tables there is a column (Name : PeopleKey (Int PrimaryKey)). If the user enters Alphabetic value then the Bulk Utility is failing. Below are the two options in my mind -
1. I can change the DataType in Temp table from int to VARCHAR. So, the data can be inserted at first and then I can validate and get the data corrected. But i am not sure whether it is the right way to fix issue as the source and target tables columns are different.
2. When the data in inserted into the Datatable by following Step 3. So, once the data in inserted into DataTable then i can validate there. Thus the source and target tables Datatype will be same.
I am created a SSIS package to export data. I am exporting query data to a flat file to a different server. I tried to use the UNC path and it failed saying could not access the file. How can I create a SSIS package to export data from one server to another?
What could be simpler: map a flat file record structure, extract the data, and populate essentially the same flat file record struc in an Oracle table. Let the fun begin.
Specifically: the flat file record struc is fixed length 196 bytes. A particular field consists of 4 bytes of Integer data; IS deals very nicely with the definition, does not appear to be any issue with that. The issue is trying to get the 4 bytes of integer to map and load into the Oracle table. The data type in the flat file def is DT_UI4. The data type in the Oracle target is DT_NUMERIC. One would think that perhaps a simple transform and Viola?! I've defined the transform but does not seem to matter - whatever I try yeilds the same results.
I 've tried many different src/trg data type defs., but all yeild the same results.
Execution Results from debug:
Everything validates and then...
[kcd [8671]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "load_time_min" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
[kcd [8671]] Error: The "output column "load_time_min" (11050)" failed because error code 0xC0209084 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "load_time_min" (11050)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
I have an odd problem that is driving me nutz. I have a very simple SSIS package that imports a 5 colum flatfile into a sql Server 2005 Table.
When I created this package with the wizzard, it will execute perfectly fine and processes all rows into the destination table.
But when I hit F5 to execute it manually it will fail before inserting a single row.
The error it generates is (Spalte 5 is a Datetime in the format DD.MM.YYYY) :
Error: 0xC02020A1 at Datenflusstask, Source - Daten_NC_1_txt [1]: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Spalte 5" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".

Hi all, about a year ago we started development of a tool to migrate DTS packages to SSIS and profile the effort. We're pleased to announce that it launched yesterday. It also applies a series of rules to your DTS packages as it converts like turning on logging or checkpoints.

Hi, I am copying records in a table. The source table and the target table are the same. I need the value from the id-field from both the source and target row. Is there a way to do this with one query?
I tried the following, but it doesn't seem to work:
INSERT tableOne (value1, value2, value3) OUTPUT source.id, inserted.id SELECT value1, value2, value3 FROM tableOne AS source WHERE ID = @number
I am using DTS and VBScript in DataPump tasks in order to transfer large amounts of data from text files to an SQL database.
As the database uses a normalized schema, there is often the case of inserting multiple records in a destination table from various fields of the same record of the source text file.
For example, if the source record contains information about goods sold like date, customer, item code, item name and total amount, and does so for a maximum of 3 goods per sale (row), therefore has the structure:
I have tried using a datapump task and VBScript, and I guess it has to do with the DTSTransformStat_**** constants, but none of those I used seems to work
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.
I'm getting some data from a flat file with a SSIS Package, it comes a integer but I would like to converted to a decimal with a 3 scale. Example: Flat File: 2070015000950011800 In the data conversion I had it with a 3 scale, but what I got was this:20700.00015000.0009500.00011800.000But what I want is something like this:20.70015.0009.50011.800 I dont know if you guys get the idea. But I will apreciate if anyone can help me. Thanks, Erick
I created a SSIS package moving data from a SQL 2005 table to an existing DB2 table on AS400 using Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2.
When the package was run, it showed that rows were successfully inserted to DB2. However, the data didn't seem to be converted correctly. Most of the string values were inserted as unusual characters. Also any string values of digits were not inserted.
For example, 1.) a character field (char(1) or nchar(1) as I have tried both types) in SQL 2005 table with a simple value of 'H' was inserted into the DB2 table field of type "A" (alphanumeric) of length 1 as 'ç' and others letters were inserted as other unusual characters. 2.) A string value of '00100' in SQL Server is not inserted to DB2 table at all.
Later we found that the fields inserted with usual characters are difined as CSSID =65535. A few fields with correct data inserted have CSSID=00037.
Does anyone know why this happened and how to solve this to get the data inserted correctly in the DB2 table?
I am using flat file as source.I have quantity column in flat file which is a Numeric datatype and target table quantity datatype is Numeric.
I am able to load data from source to target but when I am comparing data from source to target I am not getting exact record from source flat files Source having data like
as we can see that data are not matching with source I can not change the target table quantity data type, is there any thing which I can do with source column data type.
Current situation: Our data source is Oracle and there is a particular column, called number_of_units, with datatype numeric(28, 0) that we will extract into SQL Server data destination. However, in our SQL Server data destination this column has a datatype numeric(34, 14). This is because we used this column to do some basic calculation (e.g. number_of_units/60) and we need to keep the decimals in tact.
In our current SSIS, we do a select query with CAST from the data source: SELECT CAST(number_of_units AS NUMERIC(34, 14)) AS number_of_units FROM TABLE_A;
Will casting up from numeric(28,0) to (34,14) cause bigger number of bytes to be transferred across from the data source? I am talking about millions of records over here.
Are there other better ways of doing it? 1) Don't do a CAST in the select query (i.e. SELECT number_of_units FROM TABLE_A).
2) Add a derived/calculated column with numeric(34,14) in SSIS to fill in the calculation. 3) Lastly, load the calculation into SQL Server data destination.
I need to see inside a SSIS 2012 project a new SSIS installed component, but in the SSDT 2010 I cannot see the SSIS Data Flow Items tab for adding data source/data destination respect to the choose toolbox items pane.
[Flat File Destination [46500]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Column 0" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page." What does this error mean exactly?
I am taking columns from a flat file source. Then I am adding some new columns then rewriting the file to a ragged file format with fixed column values. I've taken the Destination component off and it works fine. So I know it could be the destination component but what could it be? Any ideas?
I am trying to upload data from CSV to Sql table. I have a column as 'arrived_date' value '13:45' etc and while trying to load data i am getting error as "data conversion failed ,truncation may occur while loading data". In flat file connection this column datatype is string but in my table datatype is as time(). There is a error with conversion. I tried to change data type in advanced editor but no use. Using data conversion after flatfile makes my error disappear but it is giving error right at the file not even going through from file?
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?
