Trimming New Line From Text String In SSIS Package
Jun 7, 2007
Hi,
I want to trim new line from string in sql server 2005...
I prepared one dtsx package and in that I want to trim new line from one of my column but i am unable to do that.
for example:
I want to retrive one column name DESCRIPTION and put that in text file but along with it I am getting blank space and new line also that I want to trim...
greetings!! the below trigger works fine in SQL 2000 and doesn't takeup much resources, it's a very simple solution to trim text fields atinput in SQL. I know a lot of folks will say to create input masks atthe UI level and that SQL is a restricted back-end DB, but to be quitehonest I don't trust those UI guys and as a DBA I will have to cleanthe mess when they forget to validate. Hope it can be usefull to anyof you too. ;)----------------------------------------------------------------------CREATE TRIGGER [TRIMMER_TGR] ON [dbo].[MyTable]AFTER INSERT, UPDATEASIF UPDATE (MyStringField)DECLARE @TRIMMEDFIELD NVARCHAR(50)DECLARE @MYID INTSELECT @TRIMMEDFIELD = MyStringField from InsertedSELECT @MYID = ID from InsertedBEGINUPDATE tblDocket SET MyStringField = RTRIM(LTRIM(@TRIMMEDFIELD))WHERE ID = @MYIDEND
I am logging all the tasks in my SSIS package to SQL Server. For each task I am logging atleast the Pre-Execute, PostExecute, OnError events. For Script tasks, I have custom logging and I am logging the ScriptTaskLogEntry event too.
When I run the package manually from BIDS, the logging works great ! But when I try to run the package from a job or from the command line, the number of events that is logged greatly reduces. For eg. when manually run, I get 104 records in the log table but when run from the command line I get 23 records only. Most of the custom logging messages from the Script Task do appear. Its the pre and post-execute events that are skipped. Any idea why ?
Here is command line from the job. I also use the same command line with "dtexec" from the command prompt.
I now have two SSIS package, "TESTING" and "LOADING". The "TESTING" package have an execute package task that call the "LOADING" package. When I want to execute the TESTING package, how can I setup the connection string so that I can edit the password of the database connected by the "LOADING" package?
I created a SSIS package that has a flat file manager whose connection string is a package variable, the reason is that there is a foreachfile container loop to loop thru CSV format files in a directory and load them to a sql table.
The package execution is working in the designer studio as well as in the management studio-- a copy was saved to a sql 2005 server where a sql job is deployed to run the package. However when I ran the job, it claims successful but doesn€™t do anything in reality. If I checked the box failing the package upon validation warming, the job will fail with the error: the command line parameters are invalid. The command line looks like below:
One thing that I think maybe wrong is on the data source tab of the job step GUI, the flat file manager€™s connection string is blank, compared to other connection managers having related values.
Hi, for some AP issue, the file I upload must be without the line feed/carriage return in the last line. for example:
original fixed-length file (exported from SSIS) line NO DATA 1 AA123456 50 60 2 BB123456 30 40 3 CC123456 80 90 4 <-- with line feed/carriage return in the last line
The file format that AP request. The file only has 3 records, so it should end in the third line. line NO DATA 1 AA123456 50 60 2 BB123456 30 40 3 CC123456 80 90
Should I use script component to do it ? I am new for VB . Anyone would help me ?
I create a SSIS Package for ETL on my own machine. During development database was also on my machine. For access to this database an OLE DB connection was defined within a package in BI Development Studio. Everything worked well both in debug mode and testing package itself.
Finally I need to load data to a database on a different machine using this package.
I used several scenaries:
1) simply copied the package-file to estination machine, open it for execution, in section "Connection Managers" I edited connection string manually - changed server name and Initial Catalog. And try to execute.
2) on the destination machine I manually created an OLE DB connection (using Microsoft Data Link) to a different database (test succeded), Changed the extention of the connection file 'udl' for ' txt ' and copied its connection string to the field connection string in section "Connection Managers" (pointed in variant 1) ).
3) use Package Configurations, copied the deployment to destination machine, installed the package the way like written here - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365338.aspx. Changed exported properties - Server name, Initial Catalog and also the whole Connection String. Also try to execute.
In all cases I recieved the same error execution message :
"Errors in the metadata manager. Either the database with ID of " OLD_DATABASE_NAME " does not exist in the server with ID of " NEW_SERVER_NAME " or the user does not have permissions to access the object."
As for access (username/pass) settings they are the same for both of them, I have the same administrative rights on both machines. And more with the same rights the ole db connection made was made manually in variant 2 - succeded!!! So I don't think the problem is here.
As for Error message - I think somewhere the OLD name of database (Initial Catalog) is saved, though I tried to change it. Though the NEW value for the server name is substituted.
Please, help me. I don't know what else can I try. And it is not a single case for my practice. So I think - something wrong in my actions.
I have created a package which will copy rows from csv file to SQL database. I have a field into the csv file which contains numeric data. and I am keeping this into the database as numeric too. for example, a column into the csv named "amount" needs to be transfer into the data table where the corresponding column name is "amount" and its data type is numeric and the field can contain null values. I am using the double quote(") text qualifier on to the csv file. Now my problem is, some rows into the csv file contains null values for amount column. for example..lets take a look on my csv file content...
"Name", "Salary"
"Jhon Stuart", "35.66"
"Maria Gree", ""
Notice the second row of the csv where the Salary value has left as an empty string. Now my intention is to import these data into the database and the salary value for Maria should be remain as null. But the package is generating an error for this row. it says..
There was an error with input column "Salary" (61) on input "OleDB Destination Input (47)" . The column status returned was : The value could not be converted because of potential loss of data.
Can any body help me on this? What would be the solution for this? if I modify the row into csv file as following
"Maria Gree", "0.00"
then it works. But I dont want to fill the field with zero into the DB. I want it would be set with NULL value..which make sense.
Requirement: When we create SSIS Pacakge using Businessinteligence studio.Each Source and Destination or whatever we using the Control required DB Connection.
we connect theDB server and Database Table through manaully .Instead of Manual i need dynamic Global varible for Connection String .How to achieve this connection string.
because suppose we create SSIS Package in Developement Server Latter We change the Server from Developement to Another Testing Server . at that time we dont requierd for changing manulay.any one pls reply me.
Same as in Dotnet we give configiration XML file .we gave the Connection strng. how to in SSIS we do?
I have create packages which loads the data from flat file to sql server table, now I want to make my destination table connection dynamic what is format of connection string. I also need to pass user name and password for sql server dynamically in this case, what is the format for the connection string.
Also  in package i used ADO.net  as source for  *.mdb files how i can set the commection to .mdb files dynamically which is used as source in my package.
I am downloading a webpage as a text file in order to read a specific string to assign it as a variable/parameter in order to create an output file name. I would like to know how would I be able to look for a specific string and output as another variable for the rest of the package.

To explain it a more better way, I have a sample webpage text here. I should be searching for "FullCountyLoanLimitList" appended by the current year (like FullCountyLoanLimitList2015) and copy the entire file name in the text file and assign it to another variable so that I can download that specific file using WebClient connection.

Hey, I've a few jobs which call SSIS packages. If I run the SSIS package, it runs fine but if I try to run the job which calls this package, it fails. Can someone help me troubleshoot this issue? None of my jobs that call an SSIS package work. All of them fail.
I have a parameter value as shown below and this is dynamic and can growÂ
Example : 101-NY, 102-CA, 165-GA 116-NY, 258-NJ, 254-PA, 245-DC, 298-AL How do I get the values in the below format NY,CA,GA Â --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state NY,NJ,PA,DC,AL Â --- each state to be followed with comma and the next state
correct query that will fetch  only state names and not the numbers.
Hi, I have a Multiline Textbox in my application.The value from the textbox is updates in a SQL table.The problem i have is If I type in the textbox 1211 London street Sussex <br> UK <br>Europe ,only 1211 London street Sussex gets into the table.Anything I type after the "Enter " doesnot go into the table.
I checked the field sizes in my stored procedure and they are varchar(500) .
the following is my TSQL command of a job(after passing databaseName, I don't want multiple steps, just with 1 step) --=================================== BACKUP DATABASE ABC To Backup_ABC_1 with init, name = 'Backup of 1(M, W, F ) Job_ABC_1Mon' go backup log ABC with truncate_only go print 'shrinkdatabase begin-- ' dbcc checkdb(ABC) go dbcc shrinkdatabase(ABC, 10)
Issue: with 3 'go' inside the whole line, execution failed. after replace 'go' with 'begin' and 'end' for each sql statemet, the execution works. Someone could explain why 'go' as a batch does not work in this situation?
also, is this a good practice to 1. truncate_only 2. dbcc checkdb 3. shrinkdatabase after a daily backup?
I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:
"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip" or "tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip" or "airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"
I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:
1234 123 12389
the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.
Hi ALL, I need to delete 1st and last lines of text from a text file in an automated process,and save the file with the same name or a different name at the same location. How is that possible?Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Sai.
I am writing a string to a text file using the below code:
DECLARE @MyText nvarchar(500) SET @MyText = 'type This is my text >> c:MyLog.txt' exec master..xp_cmdshell @MyText
What I want to know is. how do I write multiple lines to MyLog.txt without having to call out xp_cmdshell each time I want a new line in my log? Do I use newline character in @MyText like SET @MyText = 'type This is my text line 1</n>This is line2 >> c:MyLog.txt'
I am displaying a complex formula in a column header tool tip. The formula is generated in a stored procedure. (I do not enter the tool tip text directly in the column header expression.)
Within the stored procedure, how do I generate a string that contains a carriage return/line feed?
Using ADO to conect to a text format data file to gather data. File is a .dat file, tab delimited, no header row.
Got all my ducks in a row: 1) Write a schema.ini 2) Make sure the extension is not excluded in the Jet Text registry key 3) Setup the connection properly (per MSDN Scripting help)
Works nicely, except the fist line of data is missing. File contains 78 rows of data, Jet is skipping the first line every time and reporting 77 rows.
Notes: 1) Adding a blank row, as suggested in this forum, is not an option - the data files are machine generated are not to be altered by other processes. 2) I could do it the old fashion way of importing and splitting into arrays, but this is a database function and ADO should be able to handle it.
Code samples:
Code Block
adoCON.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & sPath & ";Extended Properties=""text;HDR=NO;FMT=Delimited;"";" On Error Resume Next rsSrc.Open "Select * From " & sFile, adoCON, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText sPath is a string containing the path, including the trailing sFile is a string containing the file name.
I have to output as one filed name, mailing address, and phone of each company that we do business with. the out put must look as follows: Company Name Store number: ##### Street Address 1 Street Address 2 City, State Zip + 4 Phone: (###) ###-####
Each piece of data is a single field and will have to be concatenated into one. How do I force the line breaks where I need them?
Also each piece of data will be compared to a €œsource€? for validity and I will need to mare the individual data pieces red where €œwrong€?. Like so: VALID MY DATA Company Name Company Name Store number: ##### Store number: ##### Street Address 1 Street Address 1 Street Address 2 Street Address 2 City, State Zip + 4 City, State Zip + 4 Phone: (###) ###-#### Phone: (###) ###-####
Any ideas on how to do this? I have used IIF for conditional formating of field colors in the past, but my expierence is that it changes the WHOLE display field not just piece of data the IIF is wrapped around.
I am using execute pacakge task to execute another package . I am giving the Connection string for the package to execute. It works fine in my development machine but when i try to run in another server after i deployed it. It looks for the datasource path of the DTSX file in the same location.
how do i set the path according to each server where the dtsx file is stored. or any other method of storing it like connection string.
if i store it in theparent package variable where should i point to...
