Is there a Data Flow Transromation in SSIS to take multiple columns from an excel sheet and concatinate them into one filed.
Ex:
'Strt-Address', 'City', 'State' into 'HomeAddress'.
I could dump them into a temp table and concatinate the fields and insert that into the destination but that seems like a waiste of using SSIS.
Thanks
Hi--
I am uncertain how to do this. I am thinking it could be done in a script component, but after a day of experimentation, I'm not getting any closer. I'd also like to know if there is another component I may be able to use for this.
I have data coming from an Excel Spreadsheet that looks like this:
CustNumb Invoice
1 a
1 b
2 c
3 d
3 e
3 f
I would like an output that looks like this:
CustNumb Invoice
1 a, b
2 c
3 d, e, f
I am not even sure if I should be trying to do this in the subroutine that looks at each row or the one that looks at the entire buffer.
Thanks for any help or ideas...

In a Data Flow, I have the necessity to use a SSIS variable of type €œObject€? inside Script Component and assign to it the content of 'n' variables of string type.
On exiting from the script the variable of type object should contain something like in the following lines:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
On exiting from the data flow I will use the variable of type Object in a Script Task, by reading each element in a cyclic fashion.
Is there anyone who have experienced something like this? Could anyone provide any example of that?
Thanks in advance!
Hi all
I'm into a project which uses a lot of views for joining 2 or more tables. Using the MERGE component in SSIS will be a huge effort coz it only has 2 inputs and I gotta SORT the input too.
Isnt it possible to have a VIEW like component that joins more than 2 tables and DOESNT need sorting??
(I've thought about creating views in database engine but it breaks my data floe in SSIS and is'nt a practical solution)
I have a SQL statement that fetches book information via a TITLE_ID which is fine if we only have one edition (hardback), but if there are two editions (hardback and paperback) it will return two rows like:
Title - Author - Edition
The Amazing Pixies - A. N. Author - Hdbk
The Amazing Pixies - A. N. Author - Pbk
Is there any way to concatenate the Edition field so the two lines become one? I have searched for ways to do this but have had no luck.
Someone please help!. I am trying to create a view in SQL Server 2000 to use for a report but I am having problems with concatenating multiple values into one field. In my example below I am trying to list all records in my queried table in columnA then concatenate a list of all other records that share the same value in column B of the queried table into another field. If there are no other matches for a row in columnA then I would leave the corresponding field in columnB blank. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have a package that has a data lfow task. this task imports data from a db2 database (using the IBM Ole DB provider fro db2) and adds it to sql server database table. This package was created on the server. then though version control (using TFS source control) I check out the package on my local machine. and when I open the package I get the foll 3 errors.

Hi,
I have a package which reads an Access file from a folder. My connection manager to this file is .NET providers for OledbMicrosoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
Package works from my computer. But when I execute it on the server as a SQL Agent job, I get
The component metadata for "component "DataReader Source" (1) could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed.
I copied the mdb file to a folder on the server which my packages have no problem reading data from.
My packages run under the same domain account as defined in proxies.
Appreciate a help.

The file of about 30,000 records contains an address field where addresses are entered in the following form:
128 NW 8 ST
3444 SW 19 AVE
32 SE 122 TERR
12604 SW 148 PL
Then there are anomalies such as
123 E BLVD
(I can ignore the anomalies until the main challenge is overcome.)
The challenge is that I have been asked to sort the addresses in the following order:
quadrant (e.g., NW, SW),
street number (e.g., 122),
street name (e.g., TERR)
house number (e.g., 128)
It seemed like I should create a view that can be updated regularly, as records will be added/deleted ongoing.
How do I get these part into a four-column view? Or, is there another way to do this?

To simulate problem do follows:
1. Add Script source component.
2. Add 2 string output collumns: F1 length 50, F2 length 110
3. Add Union All component connected to Script source component
4. Add Script transformation component connected to Union All component
5. Mark F1 and F2 as input collumns
6. In the Input and Output section of the script transformation component check that length of the fields is 50 and 110 correspondingly
7. Edit Union All component: change Union All Input 1 to <ignore> for Output collumns F1, and F2; change Union All Input 1 to F2 for F1 and F1 for F2; change back <ignore> for F1, <ignore> for F2; set back F1 for F1, F2 for F2; Click OK to save
8. In the Input and Output section of the script transformation component check that length of the both fields is 110 now.
So, be careful to select output columns values in Union All component. If you choose wrong field by accident, and replaced it with correct one straight away, the length of output column could be stored not as you expect an need.
From a text file I'm importing date values by a variable.
dFecha = Left(Row.Column21, 4) & "/" & Mid(Row.Column21, 5, 2) & "/" & Right(Row.Column21, 2)
After that I've got values as "0000-00-00" and obviously sql (at target smalldatetime) doesn't support them. How do I for to solve?
If IsDate(dFecha) Then
.Parameters("@FecEnajenacion").Value = dFecha
Else
.Parameters("@FecEnajenacion").Value = vbNull
End If
TIA
Hi all,
i am not very experienced with the SSIS. I am just wondering if there is something like a "if-then-else"-componente like the foreach-component in SSIS.
I want to delete the values of all tables in one database. So I took a foreach-component and selected the smo-enumeration with all tables. I store the tablename in a variable and execute a sql-task with "delete table.." with the variable tablename as parameter. Now I want to delete all except one certain table. I would like to add a selection where the variable tablename is checked. If the tablename is this certain table, I don't want to execute the sql-command, else I want to excecute the delete-command.
Are there any suggestions?
Thank you very much

I have just migrated a DTS 2000 package
as an SSIS package.
one of the features that failed to migrate, was a transformation
that , selected 2 colums of data with a stored procedure,
file name, and full path of filename,
Then the file name only was written to a txt file,
Then there was an ActiveX transformation task that used the other
column (full file path) to copy said file to another location (specified as a global str variable eg \127.0.0.1directory..etc)
Now my question is this, with SSIS script task
can i save the path name (2nd column) to a variable and then
using this variable copy the file to another location (global str variable) ?
Is there a CopyFile function like there is in ActiveX ?
And can i add this script task along with the DATA FLOW ?
because if i add it outside the DF , it will only (im assuming) copy the last line (path) into the variable...
Dear all,
Such a pain, I know. Yesterday I did a couple of questions regarding transformation rows and very kindly I obtained answer (Thanks Jamie and Michael)
But now I face another stupid issue and is how to map source with destination columns inside Script Component Task.
On my Flat File Source I€™ve got defined thirteen columms (from Column0 till Column13); that€™s fine. And then, I€™ve got a sql table as destination with another names, of course€¦
Inputs and Outputs option from Script Component Editor leaf has been commited both (Input 0 and Output 0) but I wonder how the hell I€™m refer to them here:
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
** snippet of old code sql2 to migrate€¦
'If DTSSource("Col010") = "N" Then
' DTSDestination("ImpBase") = -1 * CDbl(DTSSource("Col011") / 100)
'Else
' DTSDestination("ImpBase") = CDbl(DTSSource("Col011") / 100)
'End I
.Net Script
If Row.Column10 = "N" Then
¿??????????????
End If
End Sub
Thanks a lot for your comments and thoughts,

Informatica has an XML parser component that allows me to read an xml file from a data source (Oracle Clob attribute in table in this case), parse it out in our mapping, and then transform the parsed date.
Does anyone know if SSIS has similar functionality?
Flow:
DataSource --> XML Parser --> Expression Component (Transform) --> DataTarget
Thanks

Hello,
My SSIS design: Source OLE DB -> Script Component -> Destination OLE DB
I have a script component that reads and proceeds each row in input. But I have no rows in output. How can you explain that ? with the viewer, I see the rows in input but in output, I have nothing after the script.
The script function: read the value of the ROW.column and flag like this :
ROW.columnout = TRUE (columnout is added in output columns)
What should I define at the component to retrieve the rows after the script component ?
Thanks !
Hi All,
I am creating an SSIS Package where I need to get the errorcolumn name in a script component to be inserted into a database table.
Even when I loop through ColumnNames in ComponentMetaData.InputCollection(0).InputColumnCollection and match their lineageId with the errorcolumn, I dont get a match. Can anybody please help me in this.
Thanks in advance.
Hi
When there is an error in one of the rows a script component (in a child package) is processing I want to fail the child package and the parent package and not continue processing any rows.
How do I do this?
I have every thing in the script component in a try catch statment. This is the catch block
Catch ex As Exception
ErrorMsg = ex.Message + " " + RecordMsg + " Error on Column : " + ColumnMsg
ComponentMetaData.FireError(0, ex.Source, ErrorMsg, String.Empty, 0, False)
End Try
Also I have the FailPackageOnFailure and FailParentOnFailure properties set to true and the max errors value set to 0.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

There is a table with a column that contains Xml documents. For each record from my Data Flow Source, I want to pass in the Xml document and the node to interrogate, and return the value contained in the node. Like the Crm component, this is probably one I will have to write from scratch in C#, but I would like to avoid having to create the custom component if it already exists in the public arena.
Does anyone know of any Xml Ssis Data Flow Components that are downloadable for free?

Hi
I have managed to programmatically create data flows and components in an SSIS (2005) project (*.dtsx) by using VS2005 VB.NET but I have hit a road block in terms of progarmmatically inserting pre-tested VB.NET code into a newly created Data Flow - Script Component source code block
Can someone give me a little bit of direction on this? Is it possible? Direction to some example code would be great!
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I have a flat file that contains detail in each record as indicated below:
HEADER_ID, ATTRIB_A(1..10), ATTRIB_B(1..10), ATTRIB_C(1..10), etc.
The index of the attribute relates it to other attributes with the same index. It needs to look like this in the detail table:
HEADER_ID, ATTRIB_A1, ATTRIB_B1, ATTRIB_C1
HEADER_ID, ATTRIB_A2, ATTRIB_B2, ATTRIB_C2
I need to pivot these attributes into a detail table that relates back to the header information. Because of the number of these, I don't want to use the UNPIVOT Task because there are so many. I was hoping to move the complexity to a Script Component where I could read one line and transform it to a normalized state.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Hi All,
I would like to say thank you in advance for all your ideas. Here is my case i want to implement slowly changing dimension, i know that i can use SCD component of the SSIS, but because of performance issue i am thinking to use something else that can subtitute the SCD component, i want some idea from you guys if anyone has implemented before without Slowly Changing Dimension component.
If not, do you have any comment/suggestion to use the SCD component i mean if the worest comes and i use it, what draw backs does it has, for example interms of data size, performance. Note that i use Dedicated Server for the ETL in Production.
Thank you

Hi
I had a DTS package on sql2000 which i migrated succesfully to Sql2005 and im able to open the package and execute the package.Now i want to add a new database mail component on this package to send emails to recepients.In short i dont want to use SQL Mail component of Sql2000 which required outlook components,instead i want to use the new features of SSIS to my package which was designed on sql2000.
Is it possible to use the SSIS new features to be incorporated on my old DTS package?
Thanks in advance
