Simple SSIS Package, Problems With Flat File Output

Sep 20, 2007

Hello!

I want to make a very simple package: Export all rows in a table to a flat file.
This package I can create pretty much by only using the wizards.
Now to my problems:

1) I need the output to have this format:

H20070920161522
DS3 Plastpall trippelkrage 40 1
E00000000003

H is a header post, in this case with date and time following.
D is a details post, that is all the rows that was exported.
E is and end post, containing only the number of rows in the file, including H and E posts.

2) I need to set the file name dynamically, preferably using date and time to name the file.

I“ve done this very same thing in T-SQL, like so:




Code Snippet
USE AVK
GO
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SNAPSHOT;
GO
SELECT *
FROM tempProducts
GO
CREATE VIEW EXPORT_ORDERS
AS
SELECT 1 AS ROW_ORDER, 'H' + REPLACE(CONVERT(char(8), GETDATE(), 112) + CONVERT(char(8), GETDATE(), 108), ':', '') AS Data_Line
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 AS ROW_ORDER, 'D' + COALESCE (CONVERT(char(10), LBTyp), '') + COALESCE (CONVERT(char(50), Description), '') + COALESCE (CONVERT(char(5),
Volume), '') AS Data_Line
FROM dbo.tempProducts
UNION ALL
SELECT 3 AS ROW_ORDER, 'E' + RIGHT('0000000000' + RTRIM(CONVERT(char(13), COUNT(*) + 2)), 11) AS Data_Line
FROM dbo.tempProducts AS tempProducts_1
GO
IF @@ROWCOUNT > 0
BEGIN
BEGIN TRANSACTION
SELECT *
FROM tempProducts
DECLARE @date char(8)
DECLARE @time char(8)
DECLARE @sql VARCHAR(150)
SELECT @date = CONVERT(char(8), getdate(),112)
SELECT @time = CONVERT(char(8), getdate(),108)
SELECT @time = REPLACE(@time,':','')

DECLARE @dt char(14)
SELECT @dt = @date + '_' + @time
SELECT @sql = 'bcp "SELECT Data_Line FROM avk..EXPORT_ORDERS ORDER BY ROW_ORDER" queryout "c:AVK_' + @dt + '.txt" -c -t -U sa -P dalla'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @sql

--WAITFOR DELAY '0:00:10';
DELETE
FROM tempProducts

COMMIT TRANSACTION
END
DROP VIEW EXPORT_ORDERS
GO






But I“m sure it can be done in SSIS aswell, giving me some nice options for i.e. error handling aswell.
Pointers please

How Can I Output Subset Of A Table To A Flat File In SSIS?

Aug 24, 2006

Hi All,

I have a table A. I need output subset of a table A to a flat file using query, like:

select A.* from A inner join B on... ..... inner join C......where left(A.id, 3) = B.sid.... AND B.num between 100 and 200).

How can I do this in SSIS? Which data flow item I may need?

Thanks

SSIS - Output Table To Flat Fixed-width File

Oct 19, 2007

I am new to SSIS and am having trouble with automatically setting up the destination output columns.

I am sure there must be an easy way to do this.

My table (source) has 86 columns in it of varying lenghts.

In my connection magagers, I have created one for the SQL Server (source data) and one for the flat file (destination output).

I have also created an OLE DB source data object and a destination Flat File object and set them up to the respective connection managers.

Finally I have linked the source to the destination.

Now when I look at the source, it shows me all 86 columns.

When I open up destination, there are no columns set up.

Problem: do I have to type in all the columns manually in the connection manager for the Flat File?

I would think there would be some automatic way that it would self-populate the columns over to the flat file destination.

Ssis Package To Flat File

Nov 16, 2007

Ok everybody. I am new to sql. I have ms sql staging database that pulls data from mysql database. Then once a day I run a ssis package that moves the data to a live database and also creates a flat file that is posted to a ftp site then truncates the table. One problem I am running into is if the mssql staging database has no records the flat file is still created. How do I stop it?

Output Column Width Not Refected In The Flat File That Is Created Using A Flat File Destination?

May 11, 2006

I am transferring data from an OLEDB source to a Flat File Destination and I want the column width for all of the output columns to 30 (max width amongst the columns selected), but that is not refected in the Fixed Width Flat File that got created. The outputcolumnwidth seems to be the same as the inputcolumnwidth. Is there any other setting that I am possibly missing or is this a possible defect?

Any inputs will be appreciated.

Dynamically Creating SSIS Package For Each Flat File

Apr 18, 2007

Trying to figure out the best method of reading in a number of flat files, all with different number of columns and data types and outputting them to a database.



Here's the problem: They are EBCDIC encoded and some of the columns are packed decimal. I've set up one package that takes the flat file, unpacks the decimal (Using UnpackDecimal component) and then sending the rest through a second component to go from EBCDIC -> ASCII.



What I need is a way to do this for every flat file based on the schema for that flat file. One current solution is to write a script/app to create the .dtsx XML file and then execute that for each flat file. It appears like this may be possible, but I haven't gotten far enough to know for sure. So my questions are this:



1) Is there an easier way to do this (ie somehow feed the schema to the package and use it to dynamically set up the column makers and determine which columns get fed to the unpack decimal component.



2) If there isn't a better way, will dynamically creating the .dtsx XML file based on the necessary input/output columns for each flat file work? If so, what is a good source of information on this (information about how the .dtsx XML file is set up, what needs to be changed/what doesn't, etc).



Thanks,

Travis

Simple Flat File Import

Boy, do I need HELP! Have a simple csv file that I need to import. Worked fine in sql2000; I put it into dts to execute on a monthly basis. Makes connection, db connection, table creation fine, but stops at validation of flat file?

Rougue CR/LF In My Bcp Output Flat File!?!?!

Apr 12, 2006

The following bcp command is present in an NT job I have scheduled each daybcp "EXECUTE DailyProd.dbo.GetIndexComponentStocks_XML '2006-04-05'" queryout "D:TABLESINPUTAPIndexComponentStocks.wrk"
-S(local) -c -T -o"..IndexComponenet_XML_LOG.txt" -e"..IndexComponenet_XML_ERR.txt"
My trouble is that every 2034 characters the output contains a :0D:0A (CR/Linefeed).

Other than that all the output data looks peachy.

Is there some line size setting I am missing (would it be packetsize?)?

Ideally I would just like to not have any CR/LF in my file at all...is there some way to turn it off? I see there are flags to set to change the column and row terminators, but how to turn them OFF???

Thanks much!

Date Output To Flat File

Jul 18, 2007

I am using a simple input from an SQL data base where I have 4 dates defined as type D. I am writing to a flat file with the fileds defined with any available date format and the output on the flat file comes out as "mm/dd/yy 00:00". I'd like to just have the date portion with no time. The input does not have a time on it so I understand the 00:00 as the value. It seems that I shouldn't have to do any extra work as it is date to date. I've seen the gyrations for a date from the SQL database when it is a character field, but that's not the issue here.

Thanks!

Flat File Output From SQLServer 7.0 -URGENT

Dec 8, 2000

Other than using the -o parameter of ISQL, is there any way to mimic the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_FILE capability that exists in ORACLE (also set serveroutput xxx). I have a big need to run both queries and stored procedures and have the output placed in a flat file. This flat file will then be edited and loaded into another SQLServer 7.0 table. Basically,
SP or SQL stmt -> output to flat file -> external manipulation -> SQL table
Thanks in advance.

Stored Procedure Output To Flat File

Sep 17, 2007

Hi,

I tried to find some information about this, but surprisingly can't seem to find anything. Seems like it would be a very common scenario.

I need to send the output of a stored procedure to a flat file. First, I created an Execute SQL Task that calls the stored procedure. I selected "full result set."

My first question is, how do I capture the individual column values? For example, under "Result Set", should I create an Object variable, or should I use individual column variables? I've tried both ways, but can't seem to get to the next item, below...

Now, how do I map the variables to the flat file? If I use a data flow task, the flat file has "no available inputs". If I add an OLE DB Source before the flat file destination, there's no place to capture the result set.

Clearly, I am missing something here.

Thanks

Flat File Source - Add Output Field

Jan 16, 2007

I am moving data from a flat file source to a SQL Server table. But I want to add a columm that IS in the destination table, but NOT in the source file. Say the table column name is XXX in destination table, and there will be a global variable called @[User::XXX] that remains constant throughout the package. I would like to put the variable value into the destination column, even though the source file does not contain the field. Is there an easy way to do this?

Flat File Processing - Cannot Get Error Output To Write

Apr 20, 2007

I cannot seem to get my flat file to write columns in error when inserting into a SQL table. I have tried a few examples from MS and did not get anything written to my flat file output. I have set the Source Error Output on this flat file and it uses a script task to created the error description and then write it to a Flat File Destination.



I am new to SSIS and have not had any formal training on it. However, I am very familiar with VS.Net/c# and SQL 2000 DTS - I need to get this working ASAP as there are 45 total flat files that need to be processed. Once I have this solved for one, the rest will follow suit.



If more details would help, I can provide them.



Kind Regards,

Ron

Records From Internal Table Not Output In Order To Flat File

Oct 13, 2006

Hi -

I have a SSIS package that dumps data from an internal table to a flat file output using standard data flow tasks. The entire table is output - no special SQL. Most of the time the records are placed in the output file in the same order as the internal DB table, but occasionally the order appears to be more random. When that happens, the record order in the internal table is correct - it is just the output.

I can find no properties that seem to affect this. I would appreciate any hints and advice that anyone can give me. Has anyone else encountered this same problem?

Thanks in advance,

Jim Sweeney

Extract Column Data From Flat File Error Output

Dec 10, 2007

Hi Friend,


I am stuck with a problem and need your help. As we know, all columns that go to error flow of flat file source connection are displayed as a single column e.g. FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn, but my requirement is to extract the first column value from this FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn, my data is dilimeted by "|" pipe operator. I have created a script component to deal with this. However if we take FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn column as input column in script component, it comes as BLOB data. I wrote below code in transformation script component to extract BLOB data from column in string form and then do a Left function search to take first column out.

When I am running this script component I am getting '??????????' question marks as a result in Row.Pname.

Can anyone please help me understand if I am doing anything wrong in this script or suggest a better way to take the data out?

I appreciate your help.

Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)

'

'

Dim Error_Data As String

Dim Column_1 As String

Dim Len As Integer

Dim Buffer As Byte()


Buffer = Row.FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn.GetBlobData(0, CInt(Row.FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn.Length))




Error_Data = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(Buffer)


Len = Error_Data.IndexOf("|")


Column_1 = Left(Error_Data, Len - 1)



Row.Pname = Column_1

End Sub


Thanks,

Flat File Source And Destination - Need Fixed Width Output

Output To Fixed Width Flat File Not Adding Line Breaks

May 19, 2008

Hi All,

I have a simple SSIS package that runs a query on the db and outputs a fixed width flat file. I have all my column widths defined and in the connection manager i can preview the output. Everything looks great. All the fields fall where they should and each record is on it's own line.

When i run the SSIS program and then go open my text file with a text editor the ouput is all on the same line. I have tried changing my file format from fixed width to ragging right and adding a row delimiter but that doesn't work either. I feel like i'm missing something small here. It could even be an issue w/ my text editor (although i've tried to open the text file in multiple editors). In the flat file connection manager I have my file defined to be 187 characters long, So figure every 187 characters it should output a new line (it should add the carraige return right?).

Has anyone encountered an issue like this?


Any help would be much appreciated.

Read Text File From Flat File Connection Manager SSIS

May 13, 2008

Hello Experts,
I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle).
PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.

Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not..
What should go here ?
->Under Class A

public override DTSExecResult Execute(Connections connections, VariableDispenser variableDispenser, IDTSComponentEvents componentEvents, IDTSLogging log, object transaction)

{

//Some code to read file and write it into new file

return DTSExecResult.Success;

}


public const string Property_Task = "CustomErrorControl";

public const string Property_SourceConnection = "SourceConnection";



public void LoadFromXML(XmlElement node, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)

{

if (node.Name != Property_Task)

{

throw new Exception(String.Format("Invalid task element '{0}' in LoadFromXML.", node.Name));

}

else

{

try

{



_sourceConnectionId = node.Attributes.GetNamedItem(Property_SourceConnection).Value;



}

catch (Exception ex)

{

infoEvents.FireError(0, "LoadFromXML", ex.Message, "", 0);

}

}

}

public void SaveToXML(XmlDocument doc, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)

{

try

{

// // Create Task Element

XmlElement taskElement = doc.CreateElement("", Property_Task, "");

doc.AppendChild(taskElement);

// // Save source FileConnection

XmlAttribute sourcefileAttribute = doc.CreateAttribute(Property_SourceConnection);

sourcefileAttribute.Value = _sourceConnectionId;

taskElement.Attributes.Append(sourcefileAttribute);

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

infoEvents.FireError(0, "SaveXML", ex.Message, "", 0);

}

}

In UI Class there is OK Click event.

private void btnOK_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

try

{



_taskHost.Properties[CustomErrorControl.Property_SourceConnection].SetValue(_taskHost, propertyGrid1.Text);

btnOK.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;

SSIS - Data Flow To Flat File - Insert At Start Of File

Oct 24, 2007

Hi all,

In a foreachloop, I am inserting records into a flat file which is working fine. But the thing is that as the file grows, it takes longer for it to locate the EOF(End of File) of the flat file so as to insert the records.

I have around 70-100 lines written to the file at each loop and there are more than 20k records to be looped. wihich means that at the end I should be having 1400k - 20000k line in the text file.


One solution would be to insert the records at the start of the file itself so that it does not has to lookup the EOF each time before writting.

Another would be to generate separate files and then merge it.

Any idea how can this can be done?


Beside this I have to zip the file and then SFTP to a given address.

Any suggestion or help would be welcome.

Cannot Have Two Flat File Destinations In A Package (possible Bug)?

Jan 4, 2007

During my development of a ssis package i've noticed that when creating two control flows that pulling data from seperate tables, each going to its own flat file, that the second keeps the attributes of the column names from the first. So when I create my second flat file, not only does it have the names of its correct columns but has the name of the the first flat file.

I'm hoping that I've explained the correctly. I'll provide more info "OR" I can provide the code to package if anyone would like.

How To Store Column's Value From A Flat File Into A Package Variable?

Oct 7, 2007

I have a few flat files that will be retrieved from some SFTP server. One of the flat file will act as a terminal file where it will specify the total number of records expected in each other the flat file.

Data in the terminal.txt
FileName TotalRecords
File1 1000
File2 1500
File3 2000

So, before transforming the data from the flat file sources into the target destination, i wish to do a row count checking for each of the flat file source to make sure that the number of records in the flat file source is tally with the number of records specify in the terminal.txt file. I'm able to get the number of records in each of the flat file by using the RowCount component but don't know how to get the data out from the terminal.txt file in order to make a rowcount comparison.

Can any1 help me on this? Or is there any other way we can do to make sure that the flat file source is alright before proceeding with the data transformation task?

Thanks!

Possible Validation Problem With Flat File Between Two Data Flows In A Package

Apr 17, 2007

I have a package set up basically with two consecutive data flows. The first flow takes data from an OLE DB Source and stores it into a Flat File Destination. The second flow uses this same flat file as a source, alters the data, and stores the data in the same flat file, overwriting the old file. I set DelayValidation to True on the flat file. Still, here are the error messages I am receiving:

Error: 0xC020200E at DO, Flat File Destination [7676]: Cannot open the datafile "C:Temp.txt".

Error: 0xC004701A at DO, DTS.Pipeline: component "Flat File Destination" (7676) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020200E.

I am new to SSIS, so I'm sure I have a setting wrong or something. Is the problem that SSIS is trying to write to a file from which it is simultaneously reading data?

Thank you.

SSIS Flat File Import Help

Aug 28, 2007

I am trying to import a flat file into SQL Server 2005 using SSIS. I have never used it before and I am getting confused by the error I am receiving.

I have a link to a flat file, that gets sent through a Derived Column flow where dates in YYYYMMDD are changed to MM/DD/YYYY format. Then the string MM/DD/YYYY is converted to a date in a Data Conversion flow. And finally the data is put into a SQL Server table (currently with no rows).

The problem I am having is with a text field with the email address in it. The error I am getting is:

[Import Allstate Auto Club [1]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "email_source" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".

The problem is I can't see where in the flow the problem is. The field length is 20 wherever I look and the codepage is 1252 wherever I look. Does anyone have an insight? Keep in mind, I have never used SSIS before and I consider myself an amateur with SQL Server. It could easily be a data type conflict or something easy. Any help will be appreciated.
