We have a problem importing the flat file data using SSIS into sql database.
For some erroneous files the package is just hanging with out any activity (Disk Reads/sec, Disk Writes/sec, Page faults/sec, Workingset Memory counters are const when the package hung). The package is giving the following messages before it is hung.
The column data for column "ServerName" overflowed the disk I/O buffer.
An error occurred while processing file "M:Tani1APS-PRXY-02APS-PRXY-02-ISALOG_20060621_FWS_001-2006062106.Log" on data row 1.
The PrimeOutput method on component "Firewall Data" (6109) returned error code 0xC0202092. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
Thread "SourceThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047038.
Thread "WorkThread0" received a shutdown signal and is terminating. The user requested a shutdown, or an error in another thread is causing the pipeline to shutdown.
Thread "WorkThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047039.
Even though it says has SourceThread0 has exited, it package is not terminating itself. We just want to ignore the errorneous file and move on to other files.
I tried altering DefaultBufferMaxRows in between 1000-10000, DefaultBufferSize to 1 MB €“ 20 MB which did not work out. Can one of you suggest us any resolution/work around for this issue? This is really a burning issue in our project would really appreciate any help!
I have a simple SSIS package I built to migrate data from a SQL db on one server to another SQL db on another server. All it does is: Execute SQL task to disable some triggers on the target table, Data Flow Task to pull the data from the source (a simple sql query) into the destination table (using OLEDB), then another Execute SQL task to re-enable the triggers.
This package ran fine several times during my testing. However, this morning it's not working anymore. When I run it and check its progress, the "Validation has started" is the only thing runs, then nothing else happens... no error messages, no timeouts, nothing in the output window besides "DTS.Pipeline: Validation phase is beginning".
The only thing that has changed is one change to a date in the where clause of my source query, so I'm baffled on why it no longer runs.
I'm pretty new to SSIS, so I could easily be missing something obvious here.
Anyone have any ideas on what's up, or who can point me in the right direction? I'm currently reading up on how to debug and add more comprehensive error handling, in hopes of finding a better description of the problem.
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).
BIDS hangs when I open any SSIS packages. "Microsoft Visual Studio Is Busy" message displays in the system tray. It indicates that Microsoft Visual Studio is waiting for an internal operation to complete; however, it never seems to complete. I have recycled the server hoping to break it loose, however nothing seems to free it up. I have not had this situation before and I cannot figure out why it is having problems. BIDS shows it is "Validating Data Flow Task". Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Would it be a true statement that whenever you use BIDS to alter a SSIS package the source has to be available because verification and validation is always done on the source and destination? If the source were not available could that cause the hang in BIDS???
I am having trouble trying to construct the following process in SSIS/SQL 2005:
1. Grab a set of unprocessed rows (ProcessDT = null) in an 'Action' table 2. For each of these rows, execute multiple stored procedures base on the action type If actiontype = 1, exec spAct1a @param1, @parm2 exec spAct1b @param1, @parm2, @param3, @param4 If actiontype = 2, exec spAct2a @param1, @parm2, @param3 exec spAct2b @param1, @parm2, @param3 etc.... 3. Update ProcessDT so it's not processed again 4. Repeat until all rows are processed
Note - all sp params are contained in additional columns in the Action table. Basically the Action table is a store for post-event processing of sorts but is order dependent, hence the row by row processing. And some of my servers are 2000 so Service Broker is not an option (yet).
I first attempted to do this totally within the control flow - using an ado recordset/foreach loop control, but I could not figure out how to run conditional process paths based on the ActionTypeID. I then tried to do this within the dataflow using on OLEDB data source, a conditional split, and an oledb command control which almost got me there - the problem being for each row I need to execute multiple sp's and it appears as if the oledb command only gives me one sp.
I am facing some problem's while using the FOR loop container to execute 7-10 packages in parallel.
The main package has 7 FOR loop containers say F1-F7.
Each FOR loop container has 2 task's
T1==> exec child package C1
T2==> exec delay task Delay1.
The idea is to run child packages c1-c7 in parallel ...delay for some time and then run again since there are in the FOR loop container.
I am facing someproblems.
1. The execution of tasks T1-T7 is not guranteed. This means SSIS picks up any 6 tasks of T1-T7 randomly to start with. 6 is the max it processes whereas i have more than that. Can i change this setting???
2. Its not guranteed that if say Task t1 of FOR loop F1 is executed the subsequent task for Delay within tat For loop would be executed next. Typically wat happens is it starts with T1-T6 (T7 onhold) and then exec the delay for T1-T5 and passes control to T7 without going into the delay for T6.This is not the intended execution.
What i want is exec T1-t7 ..delay for the next exec and start again.
I am facing problem while processing my SSIS package
The error is: "Invalid delimited data. Text qualifier must be followed by a column delimiter (except for the last column)."
The text qualifier is the double-quotes character “. Text fields are supposed to get a double quote at the beginning of the string and one at the end. The column delimiter is the upright bar or pipe character |.
Some of the descriptions in table column have double-quotes embedded within the text string. When SSIS encounters one of these embedded quotes, it thinks that is the end of the text string and expects to find the column delimiter character next. It doesn’t, because the " is embedded between other alphabetic characters, so it raises an error.
For example if my column value looks like Test"String"One
What old DTS doing: DTS make the embedded " into "". The resulting text string then would look like this: "Test ""strings"" one".
When running the same data into a database using DTS, DTS recognized automatically the "" in the string and changed it to " so in the target the string looked like this: test "string" one. No problem.
SSIS, however, does not allow and does not support doing this "doubling" of embedded " when you are using " as the text qualifier. So it exports the sample string above like this (I added the column delimiters as well): |"test "string" one"|.
I've got a falrly simple task I'd like to achieve in SSIS without scripting if possible.
I have a table with three columns, Cust ID, Address and Group ID I want to update the Group ID with a counter that increments every time the Address changes.
So currently the table looks like
Cust ID Address Group ID 62 ABC 57 DEF 79 DEF 42 GHI 11 JKL 20 JKL
and I want to end up with
Cust ID Address Group ID 62 ABC 1 57 DEF 2 79 DEF 2 42 GHI 3 11 JKL 4 20 JKL 4
I have created a view over this table that counts and Groups by address. This looks like
Count Address 1 ABC 2 DEF 1 GHI 2 JKL
What I'm thinking of doing is reading the View in Address order and updating the table (joining on Address) with a counter that increments for every row of the View read.
What I'm not sure of is how to increment this counter without creating a script. One thought I had was to create a new table from the view, and add an Identity column somehow (is this feasible in SSIS?)
Still new to DM and SSIS...anyand all help is greatly appreciated!
In SSIS they say that you can use the Analysis Services Processing Task to process a mining model/mining structure, however, I do not see where you can give it a relational table to work off of. I know that I can use a data flow to do this but I wanted to go a different route if I could to process my models as I don't really necessarily need the data flow as what I am tring to do is pretty simple.
That brings me to a more general question, what is the best method for training your models using SSIS? I am building a new model everytime the package runs using some variables and the DDL task, running a query on it, and destroying it at the end of the package but I am having logistical problems training it outside of the data flow. I tried using the DM Query task but it requires that you output a result set and I am not sure if I can use it to create and process models.
I would think that they would just give you a DMX task similar to the SQL task but that does not seem to be the case. Also, when I browse the AS objects via the processing task I can only see the mining structures and not the mining models.
Hello, I have a DTS package that copies data from a fixed width file and inserts it into a SQL Server 2000 table. These files are generated daily, and usually contain about 200k records.
Sometimes, the format of the file between two days can differ slightly. I can't tell if the problem lies with the length of the record string, or the string terminator. The record string is supposed to begin with 'D1'. One file (as viewed in Notepad) will contain the records each in its own row, and each row will start with 'D1'. Another file will show that the first record starts with 'D1', but then the next record does not begin on a new line. Instead the next record continues at the end of the previous record. In this case, 'D1' is preceded with an unrecognized character as if it to indicate a carriage return.
Anyway, in SSIS, when I configure the row width of the fixed width file in the flat file connection manager to 386, and the beginning of all the records are all on their own row, the data processes without a problem. When the records do not all begin on their own row, the data will process fine if I change the row width to 385.
I don't have to compensate for this in DTS. Between SSIS and DTS, both flat file connections are configured with a row delimiter of LF, and no text qualifier. Why will SSIS and DTS process these files differently?
Does anyone have a helpful link for using the partition processing data flow task in SSIS? I am trying to process a monthly partition from within my package and am getting the following error:
Error: 0xC113000A Errors in the high-level relational engine. Pipeline processing can only reference a single table in the data source view.
If anyone has used this before and could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.
I have an olap database "A" and SSIS package "P" which process all the dimensions and cubes in "A" olap database.
I created "A1" olap database copy of "A" and made copy of "P" SSIS package as "P1" I opened "P1" SSIS package and updated olap connection properties "Initial Catalog = A1". A1 is my new olap database.
When I run package "P1" guess what? it processed "A" olap database's cubes and dimensions. Try it, not in production because I did it in production.
I'm currently trying to pull data from a ProvideX database and replicate it in a collection of SQL Server tables. However, I'm having a heck of a time trying to convert some strange decimals stored by the ProvideX database. As an example of the data I'm trying to retrieve, I'll see something like [. 1] or [. 1] ([]'s are to show the bounds of the field). After analyzing the data, it seems the decimal in the field represents a 1,000 placeholder. Thus [. 1] really means 1, and [. 1] really means 10. Something like .100 would be 100. 6.500 would be 6500.
As you can imagine, the spaces are causing errors when trying to pull the data, and I can't for the life of me figure out to just pull it as a string, run a script to convert it to a correct number, and then save the transformed data into SQL Server. When running the import wizard, it seems I'm being forced to pull these columns as decimals. Currently I'm trying to just pull the data out "as is" and throw it in a raw file, to be processed out of SSIS. Obviously doing it all within SSIS would be ideal, but if that can't be done, I'll do whatever it takes. I should also say I'm new to SSIS packages, but not necessarily new to SQL Server or SQL in general.
1) How can I pull these columns as strings? If I try to change the Export columns in the source query data flow step, it gives me an error saying that I can't do that.
2) If I have to pull as decimals, how can I capture the row on error, process it, and send it back to the export? So far, when I get an error, I lose all information in the row to the right of and including the error field.
I appreciate any responses, as I'm kind of going in circles at this point. If this sort of thing has been discussed here prior, I apologize...I didn't find it in any searches I did. Please just point me in the right direction if you've dealt with this sort of problem before. It seems to me that it should be an easy thing to do. I'm just not finding any tutorials on it.
What are the general guildlines for choosing these settings, like paralle vs. sequential, different error configurations? The default selection for processing multiple dimensions is paralle and use default error configuration. But the default for processing multiple partitions is sequential. I cannot find anything helpful other than the definitions from the online help. TIA.
All I get back is an error message of "Analysis Services Processing Task Error: A Connection cannot be made. Ensure the Server is running" The server is running, I can process the cube by connecting to the AS instance and right-click processing it.
I can process the cube by running the SSIS task inside of SSDT Just when I deploy the SSIS package (in Project mode) and then execute it do I get the error message.
SQL Server, SSAS, and SSIS processes are all running under the same account. SSAS is on a separate server from SSIS and SQL if that matters.
We have a scenario to process last created/modified files from a location using SSIS package , eventhough the folder contains multiple files with same name and extension.
Kindly give respond to this if any one has worked on this.
1. To control an SSIS package , start, check status, and emergency stop + rollback a package from a web page. Does anyone know of an example or good articles to start with.
2. I have one of the iterations of the data invoke and use a COM object (third party) It will value the items and change a field.
I can always do #2 as a second step but I need all the help I can get on #1.
I have one task in which i have to collect lots of .txt file having ## delimiter my requirement is to convert the delimiter from ## to comma and save the new file with .dat extension in different folder.
I have done all required process and run the application which should flow like collect source .txt file do Script component processing and create new .dat file with processed data in Data Flow task, but in my Task the Source and Destination start on same time and process start after words which cause empty file or some time a.txt file data stored in b.dat file where as a.dat file is completely empty.
The process should flow in sequence but behavior is totally against the process, i am using Foreach Loop Container for pick up each file.
I am trying to execute an SSIS package from a client that contains an Analysis Services Processing Task in the package. The client that does not have SSIS and SSAS installed. We are getting an error
The task "Analysis Services Processing Task" cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition. The same package runs from a server that has both SSIS and SSAS installed. Let me know if someone has come across the same problem.
I'm fairly new to the SSAS/SSIS world (though not new on databases, etc.) and I'm having some problems with the SSIS packages in our Cube environment.
Currently in our SSAS/SSIS project, we have two major connection managers, one to the database we use for loading the Cube, and the other connector for the cube itself. To load the data from the database to the cube, we wrote some SSIS packages and used the Analysis Service Processing tasks to process all the dimensions and measures. This works pretty good, so no problems here.
The real problem starts, when I try to change the connection parameters, e.g. because the server changed, or the database has been renamed. As soon as the connection managers points to another (existing) cube, regardless if the structure is exactly the same as the one of the old cube, the tasks lose all the assigned objects from their lists. It is really annoying to add all these exactly same objects to the task again. I tried experimenting with the DelayValidation attribute so the Development Studio doesn't destroy my work every time, but when I deploy the package the Cube breaks. Obviously some kind of deeper connection is destroyed when I change the connection string.
Is there a way to prevent the package from breaking/losing objects, without me having to sacrifice 15 minutes every time I change the connection parameters?
I have an SSAS 2005 database "A" and SSIS package "P" which process full "A" olap database. SSAS SERVER connection string is based on a variable read from XML configuration file.
It works well in BIDS, but when i deployed, the package failed at the step connecting SSAS, the message is "a connection cannot be made, please ensure the server is running"
In the connnecting string, i am using server name like servera.xx.com, if I change it to IP address, it works. if I change it to Localhost(happens to be on the same server), it works.
But I need the server name solution as IP may be changed.
I have a cube that we are processing nightly via an Analysis Service Processing Task in SSIS. In order to increase the performance of the processing time, we elected to use a lot of rigid dimension attributes, and do a full process of everything in the SSIS task. The issue that I am having is that after that task completes, I need to go into Visual Studio to deploy the cube becuase we are unable to browse or use the cube. This issue seemed to start once we changed the SSIS Analysis Service Processing Task to do a full process on the dimensions, rather than an incremental.
I would expect that once development is done, and it is processed and deployed, that is it. My thinking is that the SSIS task should just update the already deployed cube,
I previously posted a problem with result set bindings but I have not been able to resolve my problem. I guess all this comes with being new to programming in this environment! Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to process from an ADO.NET connection multiple rows with multiple columns. I have to read and manipulate each row. I was originally looking at using a foreach loop but have not been able to get it to work. One reply to my previous thought I should be using a data task to accomplish this. Could someone tell me the best way to handle this situation? As a note, I am new to programming in SSIS and basically trying to learn it as I go so please bear with me! Thanks in advance!
Hello all!This might be a newbie question, and there might be something Im just not thinking of right now, but I have a set of values that I need to get the average of but only from the middle 90%. Example:11 <-From here1234456 <- To here.7I thought I could solve it by subqueries and do the following:Select (((Select sum top 5 order asc) + (Select sum top 5 order desc)) - sum total)/rows*0.9 which would give me what I want, but I realised that when aggregating I cant order the subqueries.This is for an application (that will run the query on a sql-server) that only takes one query (although subqueries should be fine), and thats why I have a problem, I cant build any views or things like that.I guess my question is very simple: How can I get a sum of the bottom 5 percent without sorting descending?
Hi, I have a dts job that imports an IIS log(a text, space delimited file) into a table. I do only one, very simple activeX transformation, and other than that, i copy the columns right in. I am loading hundreds of these logs. DTS will load most of them just fine via a batch script, but it sometimes just stops and hangs. I get no errors, but my Server's cpu is at 99%. There are no locks anywhere in the database. Any clues as to why this happens? Since i don't ever get errors, i'm really getting nervous on this one.
My DTS job scheduled to run every half an hour is hanging for long.If I stop and restart it will succeed.It happened few times in the past where it ran for 3 days when nobody noticed,and still was executing!Any idea what could be the reason? Thanks1
I'm writing a page that will return data from my database to the user based on their search paramaters, over several pages with 20 matching records showing per page, and a next button on the bottom. Similar to the format of any search engine. However, I'd like to write this into the query, and I'm not sure how I would go about doing so. For example: "SELECT TOP 20 to 40 * FROM Northwind" Hopefully this makes sense. Is there any way of doing this? Thanks in advance,Russ
I am trying to concatenate three fields into one in a View. I have the following data: Last Name First Name Middle Initial (can be null)
I need my resultant field data to look like the following: "Doe, John P."
I'm having a problem writing SQL that is sensitive to placing the period after the middle initial only if there is a middle initial present. If there isn't a middle initial, I just want the following: "Doe, John".
I have tried the following CASE statement:
CASE WHEN middleInitial IS NOT NULL THEN ' ' + middleInitial + '.' ELSE '' END
However, I get an error indicating that the CASE statement is not supported in the Query Designer.
How can I resolve this problem in a View? Is there a function similar to ISNULL(middleInitial, '') that would allow for the "."?
Lets say I have a column of type varchar and need to extract an integer value from the middle of it. The string looks like this:'this part is always the same' + integer of varying length + 'this part is different but always the same length'Is there a way to trim the constant string lengths from the beginning and end?
