TSQL Help; Need A Header File In The Top Of A Flat File

Aug 16, 2007

I have a tsql script that gets the data I need, into the format I need, and  saves it in a format (.output) I need
I also have a script that creates a header for the report, basically its just a name and rowcount() that also works fine.
PROBLEM: If I combine them using UNION, I have to pad out the header report with NULL columns, and it messes up the layout of the report.
Anyone have  a simple way to do this?
here's my code:
SELECT 'A71310000'+ltrim(Str(count(UserName))) + 'HRBATCH' AS header, NULL as col2, NULL as col3, NULL as col4, NULL as col5, NULL as col6, NULL as col7, NULL as col8
FROM db_owner.PS_HR_Hrs
WHERE Reported is NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT EmplID, Convert(VarChar,DateWorked,111),'STSSH', CAST(REPLACE(STR(HoursWorked,9, 5), SPACE(1), '0') AS nchar(9)), HRAccountCode, CAST(REPLACE(STR(EmployeePayRate,18, 6), SPACE(1), '0') AS nchar(18)), 'A_STUDSUM', HRAccountCodeOverride
FROM db_owner.PS_HR_Hrs
WHERE reported is NULL
 What I need it to look like is:
 A713100007HRBATCH
                                                                                       


10068800
                 
2007/06/04STSSH012.00000 A108145
                  00000000007.500000 A_STUDSUM

10068800
                 
2007/06/05STSSH002.00000 A108145
                  00000000007.500000 A_STUDSUM  ...(this is a ragid right with spaces padding out fixed width columns) THANKS for ANY light ANYONE can shed on this.

How Can I Take This Example Flat File And Parse Out Each Section To A New Flat File? Each Section Starts With HD (header Row)

Mar 13, 2006

How can I take this example Flat file and parse out each section to a new flat file?  Each section starts with HD (header row)

http://www.webfound.net/flat_file_example.txt

e.g. an example output file based on above (cutting out the first section) would be:

http://www.webfound.net/flatfile_output.txt

Also, I'll need to grab a certain value in each header row (certain position in the 100 byte header row) to use that as part of the filename that's outputed.  I assume it would be better to insert these rows into a temp table then somehow do a search on a specific position in the row...but that's impossible?  The other route is to insert each row into a temp table separated out by fields but that is going to be too combursome because we have several formats to determine separation of fields based on the row type so I'd have to create many temp tables and many components in SSIS when all we want to do is again:

1) output each group (broken by each header row) into it's own txt file

2) use a field in  the  header row as part of the name of the output txt file (e.g. look at the first row, whcih is a header row in flat_file_example. txt.  I want to grab the text 'AR10' and use that as part of the filename that I create

Any suggestions on how to approach this whole process in SSIS...the simplest approach that will work ?

Get Header Data Of Flat File

Jul 4, 2007

hi everyone!

i am currently creating a package which involves getting data from CSV files. i can successfully get the data from the files, my problem is, i need to get data from the header of the CSV files. i am currently skipping the header rows. the format of the CSV files is as follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date, 20070704
Store Code, storeCode1

data row.....
data row.....
data row.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

technically, i also need the date from the header row, but since it is also indicated in the data rows, i have no problem with that. what i need is the Store Code, which is not indicated on the data rows. i need to store the data in a database in the following format:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
StoreCode Date column1 column2 column3 ......
storeCode1 20070704 ...
storeCode2 20070704 ...
storeCode3 20070704 ...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


any idea how SSIS can handle this? thanks a lot!

Header And Transaction In A Flat File

Mar 12, 2008

Hi All,
Any one could help me like how to port the data into the SQL Server Database if i have the below sample data in flat file.

2 300 1 3 5058045 09999XX999999999 01/10/200801/18/200840477
3 300 5058045 66 20080118232724
4 300 5058045 03000000235 20080118232724
4 300 5058045 03000000322 20080118232724
4 300 5058045 03000000335 20080118232724

Basically, Marked Red record stands for Transaction Header, Marked Green records are Transaction Detail 1 and Marked Blue records stands for another Transaction Detail 2.


Now I need to move the data, based on the Record Type ( First Column 2,3,4) If its RecTyp 2 then move into Tran Header table, when RecType 3 then move into Tran Det1 table and finally, when RecType 4 then move into Tran Det2 table.

Anyone could guide how to start this migration.

Note: The given sample is the one set of data in that flat file. Similarly in the same flatfile we have multiple set of data.

Different Format In Flat File For Header And Data

Apr 12, 2007

Hello all,



Is it possible to have two different formats for the header and the data in a flat file connection?



An example text file would look like this:

Col1,Col2,Col3

abcdefghi12345testtesttesttest

abcdeeeee12333setsetsetsetsets



where the header is delimited and the data is ragged right.



It looks like you should be able to accomplish this from the Flat File Connection Manager Editor interface, but perhaps having different delimiter dropdown boxes for the header and columns can only be used if you are using the Delimited format?



Thanks for any info you can provide!

Writing A Header Row To A Flat File Destination

Sep 18, 2006

I'm unable to figure out how to write a column header to my flat file destination. My source is a OLE DB SQL query and I need the column names as a header row in my text file destination. This seems easy but the closet I can find is hardcoding the column header row in the header property. Is this the only option?



Thanks

Flat File With Fixed Length Header And No Delimeter

Aug 21, 2006

Hi,

I'm trying to extract data from a Flat File which is as fixed length as they come. The file has a header, which simply contains the number of records in the file, followed by the records, with no header delimeter (No CR/LF, nothing).

For example a file would look like the following:

00000003Name1Address1Name2Address2Name3Address3

So this has 3 records (indicated by the first 8 characters), each consisting of a Name and Address.

I can't see a way to extract the data using a flat file connection, unless we add a delimeter for the header (not possible at this stage). Am I wrong?

Any suggestions on possible solution would be much appreciated - I'm thinking Ill have to write a script to parse the file manually.

Thanks in advance,

Scott

Transform Header And Detail Flat File Into One Table

Sep 13, 2007

I have a flat file with header and detail information, it is actually employee punch card data. I need to parse the header line which contains the Employee ID and don't save it to a table just save the value. Then with the detail line, parse the different data elements and save them along with the employee ID to one table. Then continue until the next header line is read.


The file looks something like this:

FINNEY,RONNIE 0001005420
Mon 09/03 700a HOL 8.00
Tue 09/04 630a*E 326p 8.50 8.50
Wed 09/05 645a 330p 8.00 16.50
Thu 09/06 639a 2.40 18.90
HALL,MARK 0001005601
Mon 09/03 700a HOL 8.00
Tue 09/04 608a*E 257p 8.40 8.40
Wed 09/05 601a*E 259p 8.50 16.90
Thu 09/06 606a*E 3.30 20.20
JONES,WILLA JEAN 0001005702
Mon 09/03 700a HOL 8.00
Tue 09/04 556a*E 326p 9.10 9.10
Wed 09/05 600a*E 328p 9.00 18.10
Thu 09/06 554a*E 3.50 21.60

So I think I need a data flow transformation object that let's me save the Employee ID into a variable available when the next record is read. What type of transformation would be best?

Carriage Return In Header Of Flat File Destination

Sep 8, 2006

I'm trying to create a flat file that has a header like:

/INST=-1
/DELIMITER=","
/FIELDS=FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3,FIELD4
/LOCATION=100
data,data,data,data
data,data,data,data

where 'data' represents the data written out by the data flow process to the flat file destination. This actually turns out quite nice except that when I place the lines that start with '/' in the header box for the flat file destination the carriage return doesn't get written correctly after each line and I end up with an unrecognized character when I open the file in a simple app like notepad. I've tried using different encodings for the flat file connection, but to no avail. It is also interesting to note that when I close the package and reopen it the flat file destination editor UI also doesn't recognize the carriage returns and places a box in there place.

Below is a copy of the the property as it is written in the package xml:

<property id="92" name="Header" dataType="System.String" state="default" isArray="false" description="Specifies the text to write to the destination file before any data is written." typeConverter="" UITypeEditor="" containsID="false" expressionType="Notify">/INST=-1
/DELIMITER=","
/FIELDS=FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3,FIELD4
/LOCATION=100</property>

Any help is appreciated.

SSIS: Set Header Printed When Writing To A Flat File From A Variable

Jun 13, 2007

I have a variable defined as "Country". Based on the value, the header row printed needs to be different.



I've already created a 'HeaderRow' variable that I'm able to set using a script task. But how can you set the Header text value at run time from the variable? There is no expression defined for the Header with the Flat File Destination object, and when I attempt to reference the HeaderRow variable as the Header text, the variable name is printed as the header.



Another approach I tried was to write the Header Row separately through another data flow task, but the issue here is: what is the input source when all you have is a Country variable?

Header Rows To Skip On Flat File Import/Export

Aug 29, 2006

Just attempting to import a simple tab delimited text file into my SQL Server 2005 database using the SQL Server Import and Export wizard. Column names are specified within the first line of the file. The Header Rows to Skip field value is listed as 0, but the wizard indicates that "The field, Header rows to skip, does not contain a valid numeric value".

Why isn't zero (0) a valid numeric value? I don't want to skip any rows. PLUS, I get the same error when trying to export to a text file although the header rows to skip field does not exist. I can increase the number to 1 or more, but the wizard will skip part of my data .. unacceptable.

What am I missing here? I installed SP1 of SQL server 2005, but that did not help.

Thanks in advance.

Changing Header Rows To Skip Property In Flat File Connection During Runtime

Dec 21, 2006

Hi all

I have a flat file.I am trying to set the value for the property "HeaderRowsToSkip" during runtime.I have set an expression for this in my "flat file connection manager". But this is not working.The connection manager is not able to take the value during runtime.

My expression is as follows:

DataRowsToSkip : @[user:: Var]

where "Var" is my variable which gets the value from the rowcount component and trying to set it back to the "HeaderRowsToskip" property.

I ve even tried setting the value to the "HeaderRowsToSkip" property in the expression builder.

Its not working....

Can anyone help me out in solving this????

Thanks in advance

Unable To Edit Pre-defined Flat File Connection Manager Properties In The Flat File Destination Editor

Aug 24, 2007

Hi,

I am testing SSIS and have created a Flat File Destination. I defined the Flat File Connection as New for the first time and it worked fine. Now, I would like to go back and modify the Flat File Connection in the Flat File Destination Editor, but it allows only to create a New connection rather allowing me to edit the existing one. For testing, I can go back and create a new connection, but if my connection had 50-100 columns then it would be an issue to re-create it from scratch.

Did someone else faced this issue?


Thanks,
AQ

Flat File Connection Manager Throws Error When A Column Gets Added To The Flat File

Dec 27, 2006

Hi,

I have a situation where a tab limited text file is used to populate a sql server table.

The tab limited text file comes from a third party vendor. There are fixed number of columns we need to export to the sql server table. However the third party may add colums in the text file. Whenenver the text file has an added column (which we dont need to import) the build fails since the flat file connection manager does not create the metadata for it again. The problem goes away  where I press the button "Reset Columns" since it builds the metadata then. Since we need to build the tables everyday we cannot automate it using SSIS because the metadata does not change automatically. Is there a way out in SSIS?

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.

Converting Flat File To SQL2005 Table (Flat File From H***)

Feb 11, 2008

First, a couple of important bits of information. Until last week, I had never touched SISS, and therefore, I know very little about it. I just never had the need to use it...until now. I was able to convert my first 3 flat files to SQL2005 tables by right clicking on "SISS Package" and choosing "SISS Import and Export Wizard". That is the extent of my knowledge! So please, please, please be patient with me and be as descriptive as possible.

I thought I could attach some sample files to this post, but it doesn't look like I can. I'll just paste the information below in two separate code boxes. The first code box is the flat file specifications and the second one is a sample single line flat file similar to what I'm dealing with (the real flat file is over 2 gigs).

My questions are below the sample files.


Code Snippet
Record Length 400

Positions Length FieldName

Record Type 01
1,2 L=2 Record Type (Always "01")
3,12 L=10 Site Name
13,19 L=7 Account Number
20,29 L=10 Sub Account
30,35 L=6 Balance
36,37 L=1 Active
37,41 L=5 Filler
Record Type 02
1,2 L=2 Record Type (Always "02")
3,4 L=2 State
5,30 L=26 Address
31,41 L=11 Filler
Record Type 03
1,2 L=2 Record Type (Always "03")
3,6 L=4 Coder
7,20 L=14 Locator ID
21,22 L=2 Age
23,41 L=19 Filler
Record Type 04
1,2 L=2 Record Type (Always "04")
3,9 L=7 Process
10,19 L=10 Client
20,26 L=6 DOB
26,41 L=16 Filler
Record Type 05
1,2 L=2 Record Type (Always "05")
3,16 L=14 Guarantor
17,22 L=6 Guar Account
23,23 L=1 Active Guar
**There can be multiple 05 records, one for each Guarantor on the account**


and the single line flat file...



Code Snippet

As you can see, each entry could have any number of records and multiples of some of the record types, with one exception, every entry must have a "01" record and can only have one "01" record. Oh, and each record has a length of 400.

I need to get this information into a SQL 2005 database so I can create a front end for accessing the data. Originally, I wanted one line for each account and have null values listed for entries that don't have a specific record. Now that I've looked at the data again, that doesn't look like a good idea. I think a better way to do it would be to create 5 different tables, one for each record type. However, records 2 through 5 don't have anything I can make a primary key. So here are my questions...


Is it possible to make 5 tables from this one file, one table for each of the record types?

If so, can I copy the Account number in record 01, position 13-19 in each of the subsequent record types (that way I could link the tables as needed)?

Can this be done using the SISS Import and Export Wizard to create the package? If not, I'm going to need some very basic step by step instructions on how to create the package.

Is SISS the best way to do this conversion or is there another program that would be better to use?
I know this is a huge question and I appreciate the help of anyone who boldly decides to help me! Thank you in advance and I welcome anyone's suggestions!

FHTEST 00000208262015             BH000208262015  

I want my BH, Batch Header data, to appear on a new row in the file.Do I have to build a dynamic query to do this?Is there any trick in SSIS to do something like this?I did try creating separate Data Flow Tasks to Query the [FileHeaderRecord] and then use a Flat File Destination and then another Data Flow Task to Query the [BatchHeaderRecord] and use a Flat File Destination again NOT overwriting the file.

Integration Services :: Get FileName Fo Each File Created Via Dynamic Flat File Destination

Jul 24, 2015

Need to know how I can get the dynamic filename created in the FlatFile destination for insert into a package audit table?

Scenario: Have created a package that successfully outputs Dynamiclly named flat files { Format: C:Test’Comms_File_’ + ‘User::FileNumber’+’_’+Date +’.txt’

E.g.: Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt  etc} using Foreach Loop Container  :

* Enumerator Set to: “Foreach ADO Enumerator” with the ADO object source variable selected to identify how many total loop iterations there are i.e. Let’s say 4 thus 4 files to be created

*Variable Mappings : added the User::FileNumber – indicates which file number current loop iteration is i.e. 1,2,3,4

For the DataFlow task have a OLDBSource and a FlatFile Destination where Flat File ConnectionString is set up as:

@[User::Output_Path] + "Comms_File"+ @[User:: FileNumber] +"_" + replace((DT_WSTR, 10) (DT_DBDATE) GETDATE(),"-","")+ ".txt"

All this successfully creates these 4 files:

Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt, Comms_File_3_20150724.txt, Comms_File_4_20150724.txt

Now the QUESTION is how do I get these filenames as I need to insert them into a DB Audittable. The audit table looks like this:

CREATE TABLE dbo.MMMAudit
  (
     AuditID      INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL,
     PackageName     VARCHAR(100) NULL,
  
FileName           VARCHAR(100) NULL,
     LoadTime        DATETIME NULL,
     NumberofRecords INT NULL
  ) 

To save the Filename & how many records in each file in our Audit Table, am using an Execute SQL Task and configuring it as this:

Execute SQL Task

Parameter mapping - Mapped the User Variable (RecordsInserted) and System Variable( PackageName) to Insert statement as shown below

SQLStatement: INSERT INTO [dbo].[MMMAudit] ( 
PackageName,NumerofRecords,LoadTime)
 (?,?.GETDATE)

Again this all works terrific & populates the dbo.MMMAudit table as shown below BUT I also need to insert the respsctive file name – How do I do that?

AuditID PackageName FileName  NumberOfRecords
1           MMM       NULL                      12
2          MMM  NULL                23
3          MMM  NULL      14
4          MMM  NULL              1

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)

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.


Rdgs

David

Flat File Connector Stops Processing File On Empty Row And Generates Fatal Error

Dec 27, 2007

Here's a really annoying problem. Let's say you have a text file with 2 million rows.Delimiters all look good and rows are previewed well but the file has a missing row at say lin 1234567 - way deep in the file. When SSIS encounters the blank row, an error is raised and processing on the file STOPS! I verified this in by checking the SSIS log and have even developed an error routine to notify me via email when the error occurs (really cool if I do say so myself ). The main problem still remains - how to resume processing from the point of failure in the file? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

How Do I Insert Data From A Flat File Or .csv File Into An Existing SQL Database???

Mar 29, 2006

How do I insert data from a flat file or .csv file into an existing SQL database???

Here what I've come up with thus far and I but it doesn't work. Can someone please help? Let me know if there is a better way to do this... Idealy I'd like to write straight to the sql database and skip the datset all together...

strSvr = "vkrerftg"

StrDb = "Test_DB"

'connection String

strCon = "Server=" & strSvr & ";database=" & StrDb & "; integrated security=SSPI;"

Dim dbconn As New SqlConnection(strCon)

Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter()

Dim insertComm As New SqlCommand("INSERT INTO [Test_DB_RMS].[dbo].[AIR_Ouput] ([Event], [Year], [Contract Loss],[Company Loss], " & _

"[IndInsured Loss Prop],[IndInsured Loss WC],[Event Info]) " & _

"VALUES (@Event, @Year, @ConLoss, @CompLoss, @IndLossProp, @IndLossWC, @eventsInfo)", dbconn)

insertComm.Parameters.Add("@Event", SqlDbType.Int, 4, "Event")

insertComm.Parameters.Add("@Year", SqlDbType.Float, 4, "Year")

insertComm.Parameters.Add("@ConLoss", SqlDbType.Float, 4, "Contract Loss")

insertComm.Parameters.Add("@CompLoss", SqlDbType.Float, 4, "Company Loss")

insertComm.Parameters.Add("@IndLossProp", SqlDbType.Float, 4, "IndInsured Loss Prop")

insertComm.Parameters.Add("@IndLossWC", SqlDbType.Float, 4, "IndInsured Loss WC")

insertComm.Parameters.Add("@eventsInfo", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 255, "Event Info")

da.InsertCommand = insertComm

Dim upComm As New SqlCommand("UPDATE [Test_DB_RMS].[dbo].[AIR_Ouput] " & _

"SET [Event] = @Event " & _

",[Year] = @Year " & _

",[Contract Loss] = @ConLoss " & _

",[Company Loss] = @CompLoss " & _

",[IndInsured Loss Prop] = @IndLossProp " & _

",[IndInsured Loss WC] = @IndLossWC " & _

",[Event Info] = @EventInfo", dbconn)

upComm.Parameters.Add("@Event", SqlDbType.Int, 4, "Event")

upComm.Parameters.Add("@Year", SqlDbType.Float, 4, "Year")

upComm.Parameters.Add("@ConLoss", SqlDbType.Float, 4, "Contract Loss")

upComm.Parameters.Add("@CompLoss", SqlDbType.Float, 4, "Company Loss")

upComm.Parameters.Add("@IndLossProp", SqlDbType.Float, 4, "IndInsured Loss Prop")

upComm.Parameters.Add("@IndLossWC", SqlDbType.Float, 4, "IndInsured Loss WC")

upComm.Parameters.Add("@EventsInfo", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 255, "Event Info")

da.UpdateCommand = upComm

da.Update(dsAIR, "TextDB")

Flat File Connection Manager Not Parsing File Correctly

Apr 3, 2007

Hi,



I have a flat file, comma-delimited, with strings in double-quotes.



In the connection manager for the file, I have specified that the Text Qualifier = ""



However, in the preview tab, it still shows the strings as surrounded by the quotes, e.g. "mycol1" whereas it should show mycol1 without the quotes.



Next, when I examine the data in the database after the load, it's messed up there also.



"mycol1" ends up in the database as "mycol1



"mycol2" ends up as "mycol2



This is not right.



I have format set to delimited, header row delimiter crlf, etc.



Any ideas?



Thanks

Unable To Change The File In Flat File Connection Manager

May 27, 2008

Hi,

I have a package A which is copied from another existing package B as most of the data structure and ETL mappings are same.

What I need to change in Package A is to change the file in Flat File Connection Manager. I can change it in the conneciton manager editor. However, it is automatically changed back to the previous one everytime when I try to Save All or run the package.

I also tried to copy/paste this Flat File Connection Manager in the same package but samething happen. The package file is not set 'Read Only" so anything else can Saved well except for the File name in connection manager.

Is this a bug? It would be very appreciated if anyone can give me any idea about this.

Thanks,

Jenny
