Truncation Error When Importing From ODBC To Flat File
Jul 31, 2006
I am having problems reading from and ODBC conncetion from Oracle RDB into SSIS. I am using a DataReader source which uses a ADO.NET odbc connection to an oracle RDB database. I am having that write to a flat file. When I read integers from the source, it works just fine. When I read character data (char(48) for example), it gives me trucation errors. Is the DataReader source capable of reading char data from an odbc connection?
Here is the errors I receive:

I have large flat files that I need to import using DTS. The record counts are between 500,000 and 3000,000. Or, 16 to 116 MB. When creating the DTS package I need to use to import, the wizard is haulting at the point where I should place the fixed points for the fields. I thinks it is because, the wizard will only recognize excel or text files. I cannot save these files as either txt or xls, because of their size. does anybody have any suggestions?
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?
I would like to write the metadata to a [order header] table and the ITEMS to a [order detail] table. Can someone direct me to a example of something similar?
I have a flatfile which is of the following format. I want to import this data into the sql server 2005 database. The alphabets at the start of each line represents the type of record. The data are position specific.
for ex in Record A, the following are the values that are based on column length 1 - (col length is 1) 249 (col length is 3) 20AUG (col length is 5) etc.. P SEA D 1 110000
I'm a little stuck here. How can I import a flat tab delimited file into a SQL 2005 Express table? The standard DTS and import features are not there :-(Thanks,Casey
I am trying to import into sql server from a .csv flat file i made in excel. The problem is the Primary Key. It is set to auto increment. When i leave an empty column i get: "Directcopyxform conversion error:destination does not allow null"
when i just omit the column entirely, i get a wrong datatype error because it basically tries to copy all the columns 1 shift to the left
How am i supposed to represent and auto PK in .csv file. Thanks
I can NOT get last field i.e. the date time field to import into SQL werver 2005 using import wizard.
I can manually enter the value in the table so I know it can handle data in the format it is in.. (table field is date time) but I cant get import wizard to read the file and bring in the data.. It bombs at coloumn 7... which is the date field.. It works fine if I delete the milisecond portion i.e. anything after the dot but I need to keep that information.
I am having trouble importing a flat file that was extracted from an AS400 server, into a SQL 2005 DB table using Bulk Insert. This file contains a column (field) that is of a Packed Decimal data type. Data in all other fields is displayed normally when viewing this file in a text editor such as Note Pad or Text Pad, but this one field comes up with unknown encoding: squares, thick vertical lines, basically strange characters and no numeric data.
Does anyone have any experience dealing with file of this sort?
I have a Data loading job using SSIS (Flat File to SSIS).
I been having issues with some bad data records while importing the file. (Date Column). Here is an example -- 7/31/0200 (Actually have around 600 Records of this nature)
While importing these records, the package fails as it cannot convert this "7/31/0200" string to a DATTIME Column Value.
I have a flat file source with 500,000 rows. Each row has 1 column, with about 500 characters in it. It's getting sucked into a OLEDB destination (table) in the exact same format.
Execution of this takes around 20-30 minutes, which seems silly. I read about the "fast parsing" option, but can't use it since my column is a string. Any ideas on how to speed this up?
Note: The column width for the input and output is varchar(3000). My destination table also has a varchar(3000) field. I can't imagine that is the problem, but thought I'd include it just in case.
I m using SSIS and i am transfering the data from Flat File Source to the OLE DB destination File. The source file contain some corrupt data which i am transfering to the other Flat file destination file.
Debugging is succesful but i am not getting any error output in the Flat file destination file.
i had done exactly which is written in the msdn tutorial of SSIS.
Plz tell me why i am not getting the error output in the destination flat file?
I have exported data from few tables from my old sql server 7.0 database. Now, I need to import those data into new database which is on SQL Server 2005 Express. How do I do that in 2005 express server? Any idea?
Or, is there any better way to import data for selected tables into new database?
I am trying to to import a flat file into a table in my database, i get all the values right except for the date, it keeps on inserting NULL values into the date fields.
The date format in the flat file is '20070708' etc.
Does anyone know what i can do to fix this?
I've tried to change the datatype values that it imports, but it still ignores it and inserts NULL values
I have a problem with some in a file. when i excute ma package to import data with my *.cvs file ssis bloqued le data flow in the line number 1042 and output this error : column delimiter note found for the column 50 wich is the last column .
I was getting the product error associated with the full version of SSIS not installed so I ran the installation again and selected the Integration Services check box.
Now when attempting to import data into a database, the drop down list doesn't have a flat file option.
Problem importing data from flat file into decimal(9,2) field. The data in the flat file is 000001453 and I am copying it to a decimal(10,2) field and instead of showing up in the 0000014.53 it comes across as 0001453.00. I tried defining the input columns a few different ways but none seemed to work. How do I do this with SSIS or do I need to write a SP and use convert? Thanks.
I'm trying to export sql table as fixed length text file with format file but I got the following error message:
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Warning: Server data (61 bytes) exceeds host-file field length (60 bytes) for field (4). Use prefix length, termination string, or a larger host-file field size. Truncation cannot occur for BCP output file
All fields in the SQL input table have char data type and I use the format file like this:
Error during Transformation 'DirectCopyXform' for Row number 813. Errors encountered so far in this task: 1. TransformCopy 'DirectCopyXform' conversion error: Destination does not allow NULL on column pair 1 (source column 'Customer' (DBTYPE_R8), destination column 'Customer' (DBTYPE_STR))
What does that mean?
I have an excel file named Customer List with fields such as Customer, Name, City. I want to import it into a syspro table called SyproCompanyF.ArCustomer.
I have a data file that has numeric data that looks like:
1.123456
And this column is defined as a DT_NUMERIC(18.6) in the flat file conn mgr.
As an experiment, I changed the destination column to a NUMERIC(18,0) - hoping that this would throw a truncation error at the flat file task level (where I have Truncation on all columns set to "fail component").
Not a peep. It loaded the data into the table, chopping off the 6 digits after the decimal point.
You would THINK that this would cause an error, but no. Why is this? The flat file task complains about all kinds of things, but this is such a gross error, you would think it would catch it!
I have a package in which there are only one Data flow Task and it has only three components. 1) Source , which is a SQL db 2) destination and 3) OLE DB Destination flat file Error output file.  I want the error file to be created ONLY if there is any error while dumping the data into destination DB. But , the issue is, the error flat file is being created inspite of No error while dumping the  data from Source to Destination.
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.
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.
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?
We have a SSIS package which is accessing a remote Windows file share location. The package first moves the file from folder-1 to folder-2 and also renames the file during this process. Then the package reads the file (using a flat file connection FF_SRC) from folder-2 and renames it again after processing it successfully.
The permissions given to the user executing the package on folder-2 are: Read+Write+Modify+List folder contents.
We are facing an error:
Code SnippetFile or directory "Z:folder-2XYZ.txt" represented by connection "FF_SRC" does not exist.
We are getting the above error when the SSIS package is trying to rename the file the second time in folder-2.
However, the file exists in folder-2.
The OS is Windows 2000 Server SP4.
Any ideas why this could be happening and how it could be resolved?
i have a weird situation here, i tried to load a unicode file with a flat file source component, one of file lines has data like any other line but also contains the character "Ă¿" which i can't see or find it and replace it with empty string, the source component parses the line correctly but if there is a data type error in this line, the error output for that line gives me this character "Ă¿" instead of the original line.
simply, the error output of flat file source component fail to get the original line when the line contains hidden "Ă¿".
I purchased a domain and website, the sql file will not import properly. Can anyone shed some light on what the problem is?
I am getting this error:
