Lookup Task Data Flow Transformation Causes Data Flow Task To Hang?
Dec 28, 2007Hi,
I'm trying to implement an incremental data pull (Oracle to SQL) based on Andy's blog:
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andy_leonard/archive/2007/07/09/ssis-design-pattern-incremental-loads.aspx
My development machine is decent: 1.86 GHz, Intel core 2 CPU, 3 GB of RAM.
However it seems the data flow task gets hung whenever I test the package against the ~6 million row source, as can be seen from these screenshots. I have no memory limitations on the lookup transformation. After the rows have been cached nothing happens. Memory for the dtsdebug process hovers around 1.8 GB and it uses 1-6 percent of CPU resources continuously. I am not using fast load to insert new records into my sql target table. (I am right clicking Sequence Container 3 and executing this container NOT the entire package in the screenshots)

The same package works fine against a similar test table with 150k rows.

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/8.jpg
The weird thing is it only takes 24 minutes for a full refresh of the entire source table from Oracle to the SQL target table.
Any hints,advice would be appreciated.
Error: The Task With The Name Data Flow Task And The Creation Name DTS.Pipeline.1 Is Not Registered For Use On This Computer
May 4, 2006
Hi,
I am trying to create a simple BI Application for SSIS. In Visual Studio 2005 I just get a Data Flow Task from the toolbar and add it to the project. When I double click it I get the following error:
The task with the name "Data Flow Task" and the creation name "DTS.Pipeline.1" is not registered for use on this computer.
Then when I try to delete it it gives this other error:
Cannot remove the specified item because it was not found in the specified Collection.
I am creating this application in an administrator account in this computer, so I doubt the problem is related to permissions. I am running SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 in WinXP Tablet PC Edition.
Any suggestions why this is happening and how to fix it?
Compare Performance (Execute SQL Task Insert And Data Flow Task)
Mar 12, 2008
I am using SQL 2005 SSIS. I am joining several large tables and then the move result into another table in the same database.
I would like know which method is faster:
Use Execute SQL Task to insert the result set to the target table
Use the Data Flow Task to insert the result set to the target table. (Use OLE DB source to execute SQL command and then use the SQL destination)
Could you tell me why then other is slower?
Thanks.
Can A Result Set From SQL Script Task Be Used As A Source For Data Flow Task?
Oct 2, 2007I have a stored procedure that is executed via a sql script task that returns a full result set. I map this result set to a variable or object type. Is there a way to use this variable as a data source in a subsequent data flow task?

Error Using Row Count Task In Data Flow Task
Dec 20, 2007Hi,
I'm trying to get a record count out of a databse using OLE DB Source and row count tasks but keep getting an error. I set up a variable as int32 and select the variable name in the row count task and when I go to the Input Columns tab to select a field to count, it gives me this error:
Error at Data Flow Task[Row Count[505]]: The component "Row Count" (505) has forbidden the requested use of the input column with lineage ID 32.
I don't even know what this means?

Recompile SQL Task With Data Flow Task
Feb 23, 2007Hi,
I created a package with SQL 2005. The package gets the Access DB and then inserts it into SQL Server.
If I open the package in .NET, I can see the SQL Task and Data Flow Task. The SQL Task has a property sqlstatementsource, which has the necxessary SQL code to create the tables.
How can I tell the SQL Task to recompile the SQL code if I give it another DB name, because the tables differ and don't map in the Data Flow Task
Thanks
Sql 2005 Status Not Displayed And Xps Disabled On Client
Nov 17, 2007
The environment is sql server 2005 installed on a windows 2003 server which is installed as a stand alone server. There is no pda, no domain, as this is a temp setup and eventually will be relocated to a domain. On the server, Management studio shows the green arrow run status and that sql agent is running. However when I connect to the server using management studio on a workstation. It does not show the run status. I get a blank circle and it shows the status of sql agent as XPs disabled. How can I correct this? Will running the sql agent under an admin account as opposed to a local service fix it, even though it won't be a domain account since there is no domain?

Which Data Flow Task To Use?
Feb 5, 2007I have a table which has been loaded from various source feeds. The SourceId relates to the source name and the SourceCompanyId is the sources primary key for the company. I am basically trying to create one row with all the SourceCompanyIds in my column headers. What data flow tasks would be necessary in SSIS?
The structure of the final table is:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Company](
[CompanyId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[CompanyName] [varchar](75),
[CIK] [varchar](10),
[Ticker] [varchar](10),
[Source1CompanyId] [int] NULL,
[Source2CompanyId] [int] NULL,
[Source3CompanyId] [int] NULL,
[Source4CompanyId] [int] NULL,
[Source5CompanyId] [int] NULL,
[Source6CompanyId] [int] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Company] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[CompanyId] ASC
)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
=================================
The table in which contains all the company data
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SourceCompany](
[SourceId] [int] NOT NULL,
[SourceCompanyId] [varchar](10) ,
[SourceCompanyName] [varchar](75),
[CIK] [varchar](10),
[Ticker] [varchar](10),

[SourceId] ASC,
[SourceCompanyId] ASC
)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
Data Flow Task Error To Extract Data From Sql Server To Excel
Mar 28, 2008Hi All,
I want to export data from SQL Server2005 to an Excel spreadsheet thru "Data Flow Task". I am using OLE DB for SQL Server for the source connection and a Connection To Excel as my destination source. The Excel spreadsheet (2003) exists and has the first row with column names. I don't have any warnings before trying to execute.
The SQL datable fileds are
i) ID - Int
ii) RefID
iii) txtRemarks - nvarchar(MAX)
iv) ddlWaterLevel - nvarchar(50)
While executing the tasks, I got the error
Error: 0xC0202025 at Data Flow Task, Excel Destination [427]: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
Error: 0xC004701A at Data Flow Task, DTS.Pipeline: component "Excel Destination" (427) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0202025.
After analysing I found in the DataFlow --> Excel destination --> Advanced Editor for Excel Destination, the default data type for txtRemarks shows as "Unicode string [DT_WSTR]". But this is supposed to be "Unicode text stream [DT_NTEXT]". Even if I change the data type in the design time, It doesn't accept.
Please do help me out.
thanks

Need Help For Design Data Flow Task
Nov 14, 2007Hi frns,
I am new to SSIS. I need some help in designing the below dataflow task.
-- Teacher creates several tasks and each task is assigned to multiple students
-- The teacher table contains contains all the tasks created a every teacher
use ods
go
create table teacher
(
yr int,
tid int,
tname varchar(20),
taskid int
)
insert into teacher values(2007,101,'suraj','task1')
insert into teacher values(2007,101,'suraj','task2')
insert into teacher values(2007,102,'bharat','task3')
insert into teacher values(2007,103,'paul','task4')
insert into teacher values(2007,103,'paul','task5')
insert into teacher values(2007,103,'paul','task6')
-- Teacher "suraj" has created 2 tasks
-- Teacher "bharat" has created 1 task
select * from ods..teacher
yr tid tname taskid
============================
2007 101 suraj 1111
2007 101 suraj 1122
2007 102 bharat 2222
-- Students table contains studentid(sid),teacherid(i,e tid ) & taskid
drop table students
create table students
(
yr int,
sid varchar(10),
tid int,
taskid varchar(10)
)
truncate table students
insert into students values(2007,'stud1',101,'task1')
insert into students values(2007,'stud1',101,'task2')
insert into students values(2007,'stud2',101,'task1')
insert into students values(2007,'stud2',101,'task2')
--Note : stud1,stud2 comes under teacher with tid "101"
insert into students values(2007,'stud3',102,'task3')
-- Note : stud3 and stud4 comes under teacher with tid "102"
insert into students values(2007,'stud4',103,'task4')
insert into students values(2007,'stud4',103,'task5')
insert into students values(2007,'stud4',103,'task6')
insert into students values(2007,'stud5',103,'task4')
select * from students
yr sid tid taskid
----------------------------
2007 stud1 101 task1
2007 stud1 101 task2
2007 stud2 101 task1
2007 stud2 101 task2
2007 stud3 102 task3
2007 stud4 103 task4
2007 stud4 103 task5
2007 stud4 103 task6
2007 stud5 103 task4
Now in my target table i need to load the data in a such a way that
use targetdb
go
drop table trg
go
create table trg
(
yr int, -- data should load from teacher.yr
tid int,
taskid int(20),
cnt int
)
Mapping in target column and value to be loaded
==================================================
yr -- teacher.yr
tid -- teacher.id
taskid -- this need to start a new sequence of numbers starting from 1 for each teacher and dont want the task id to be copied as it is.
cntofstudents -- need to count no of students from "students" table for a given teacher and for his assignment
For example for teacherid "101" and taskid "task1" there are 2 students
again for the same teacher "101" and taskid "task2" there are 2 students
For teacher "102" and taskid "task3" there is only 1 student
Similary for teacher "103"
Relation
========
Teacher table | Students Table
yr | yr
tid | tid
After i run the ETL the data should look as follows :
insert into trg values(2007,101,1,2)
insert into trg values(2007,101,2,2)
insert into trg values(2007,102,1,1)
insert into trg values(2007,103,1,2) -- task4 is created by teacher "103" and assigned to 2 students stud4 and stud5
insert into trg values(2007,103,2,1) -- task5 is created by teacher "103" and assigned to 1 student i.e stud4
insert into trg values(2007,103,3,1) -- task6 is created by teacher "103" and assigned to 1 student i.e stud5
Note : If u observer the values in 3rd column of the trg table, instead of directly mapping the taskid we need to generate a separate sequence for every teacher.
BottomLine : for each and every task created by each teacher there should be a unique record along with the count of students in "STUDENTS" table
Can anyone help me out in designing the Data Flow task for this Functionality.
Thanks,
Manu
Data Flow Task Question
May 24, 2007Hi there. I'm trying to learn SSIS, please, help me. I have 2 questions:
1)
There are 2 databases on 2 different servers. I need to get data from Table1(database1) and put it to Table2(database2). But I have to insert rows, which ID is not exists in Table2. How Can I do necessary filter?
2)
In the OLE DB DataSource Component I have used SQL Command(it's simplified):
declare @TmpTable TABLE (WorkCode int not null);
INSERT INTO @TmpTable (WorkCode)
select WorkCode
from Table1
SELECT WorkCode
FROM @TmpTable
SSIS Package works without any exception. But there is no any inserted record in destination table. If I try similar query without temporary table - it works good. Why?
Data Flow Task Error
Jan 7, 2008Hi,
I have SQL Server 2005 Express edition on my machine. On an SSIS project in BIDS, when i drag a "Data Flow Task" to the package it returns the following error:
The designer could not be initialized. (Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.Design)
Does this has anything to do with the fact that i don't have SSIS installed on my machine?
I thought that SSIS was only needed (on my machine) for the runtime, just to run the packages. To create and edit the pachages i need to install SSIS on my machine too? this doesn't makes sense, maybe it's another problem.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thank you,

Error With Data Flow Task
Jul 3, 2007I am having problems with the Data Flow task. It does not even show up in the list of items to drop into the SSIS project.
If I go to the Data Flow tab and hit create, I get the follow error. I have tried repairing and reinstalling, but nothing seems to clear up the error. Without rebuilding my machine, is there anyone who knows how to get the Data Flow Task reinstalled properly?
Thanks

Data Flow Task Stuck
Jul 12, 2007I have a simple data flow task setup...
2 ADO.NET connection managers, each referencing a DSN pointed to a Unidata database.
2 DataReader sources, each using a single ADO.NET connection managers, running a simple SELECT statement from a table.
I have a Union All transform setup to merge the data and write to a OLE DB Destination (SQL05 database)
When I run the package, each source will validate, but only one will execute. The other source will do nothing. The data source will be colored yellow, and will just sit there. The package will just sit, almost like it is waiting for input.
This behavior is not consistent, however. It varies which data source will hang, pretty much 50-50. About 25% of the time, both sources will execute, and all rows will be written to the destination.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks
Data Flow Task Problem
Dec 8, 2005I have a Windows XP X64 machine with SQL 2005 Developer and VS 2005 Team Edition for Architects on it. For the most part it appears that all normal VS and SQL functions are working properly with the exception of SSIS. If I open the developer studio and drag a Data Flow Task onto the design surface I get the message below. I have tried doing an unistall and reinstall of Integration Services as well as a repair on VS 2005 with no success. I've searched the web and newsgroups and can't find any mention of the problem I'm having. Any help greatly appreciated.

How To Debug Data Flow Task?
Nov 6, 2007How can I debug data flow task. From this article (http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3567961) and this video (http://www.jumpstarttv.com/Media.aspx?vid=3) I found that when we are executing the task, the data count will be shown along with color coded task but when I debug the package, no count is shown. I have SQL and source and flat file as destination. There is nothing stored in the destination file but the sql script returns the data.
Thanks.
SSIS Ate My Data Flow Task!
Sep 7, 2007I was working all day making changes to my 3MB package. I was adding a large number of transforms that were copied-and-pasted from elsewhere in the same data flow task.
All was going well. I even took the time to have SSIS lay out the task again (1/2 hour). Suddenly I started receiving some strange errors:
After the layout, I noticed two stray components 'way off in the upper right corner. I found that one of them had a duplicate name to a component which had been added hours ago. Even after deleting it, I got "duplicate name" errors.
I copied three components in one selection, and when I tried to paste them, got the error "can't initialize component on paste". I tried them one at a time, but got the same error.
I got errors about COM failures due to marshalling to another thread
I then exited Visual Studio and started it again. To my great surprise, the data flow task I was working on was still there, but was completely empty.
Comparing what I'm left with to my last version in source control, I find that the entire pipeline element is missing from the DTS: ObjectData element!
I'm developing a real love/hate relationship with SSIS. It varies from one day to the next. Guess what kind of day this is!

Data Flow Task SQL Strings
Jan 11, 2006Hi,
I just wanna ask:
I'm creating an SSIS package, a Data Flow Task. I have used OLEDB Source connected to a SQL Server Destination. Now in my OLEDB Source, I have this SQL statement
SELECT FirstName, LastName, Age FROM Employees WHERE (Age > 10) AND (Age < 95)
But what I want is to have the last name and first name concatenated and in proper case(capitalize first letter of the firstname and surname). I also want to TRIM or remove the blank spaces of the field in my SQL statement. How I be able to do this?
I tried using proper(), trim() and ucase() like in MSAccess but no success.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
Data Unexpectedly Changing In Data Flow Task
Oct 3, 2007I have a fairly simple data flow task that loads data from one table (OLE DB Source) into another table (OLE DB Destination). The data type for one of the pairs of columns is nVarChar(120) and it contains version information that looks like a decimal. When I run the export, the destination has a trailing zero added after the decimal point as if it were a numeric column which invalidates our comparisons (string 1.0 is not the same as string 1.00). There is no cast or convert done to this column, it is a straight copy. Any ideas what could be causing this or how to fix?
View 6 Replies View RelatedOne Data Flow Task And Multiple Data Flows
Jul 26, 2007I have a data flow task which has around 5 data flows (like the 2nd diagram shown here). These 5 simple flows with just a row count transformation in between. Now, I want to fail the entire task immediately even if one of the data flows failed. Right now if one flow fails the remaining flows fails after a long time, not immediately. How can I make it fails immediately.
The other I would like to do is Can I place these 5 data flows in a transaction, so that if one data flow fails, others data flows also roll backs? ( I assume its not possible)

Is there a way to accomplish one- many or many -one or many - many column mappings in the SSIS data flow task or using any other tasks. We were able to do this in DTS Transform data task. Also is it possible to edit the mapping like:
dest column1 = Right(dest column1, 3)

How To Suppress Warnings From A Data Flow Task
Jul 6, 2007Hi,
I am getting unusable warnings from dataflow task while running. Say for example I am getting column A, B, C from source and I am using only column C in destination. Whenever I run the package, I am getting a warning saying that
"The output column "A" (67) on output "Output0" (5) and component "Data Flow Task" (1) is not subsequently used in the Data Flow task. Removing this unused output column can increase Data Flow task performance."
Can any one help me how to resolve these warnings?
Thanks in advance.
Data Flow Task- Error Output
Apr 19, 2006I am trying to transfer data from one table to the other using a Data Flow Task of SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services)
I am using an OLE DB Source and an OLE DB Destination.
Source Table TABLE1
Column Datatype
ID - Int ,not null
EmployeeName - nvarchar(50), null
Destination Table TABLE2
Column Datatype
ID - Int ,not null
EmployeeName - nvarchar(50), not null
There are 10 rows in TABLE1 of which 2 have null value in EmployeeName column.
If I try to populate all TABLE1 row values into TABLE2 the data flow will fail as TABLE2.EmployeeName will not accept null value.
So I have inserted a FlatFileDestination into the DataFlow and the OLE DB Destination ErrorOutput is set as input to the FlatFile. In the OLE DB Destination Editor the ErrorOutput€™s error property is set to Redirect Row.
When I do this the 8 correct data from TABLE1 will be inserted into TABLE2 and the two rows with null value will be inserted into the FlatFile.
My requirement is this:
I don€™t want any data to be inserted into TABLE2 but I want the two erroneous records to be written into the FlatFile.
Please suggest.
Rerun Data Flow Task OnError
Oct 3, 2007I'm very new to using SSIS. I have a large number of SQL databases (archived .mdf/.ldf files) with data that needs to be imported into one giant database. My problem is that half of the databases are missing a column that was introduced in a newer version of the database schema and when my package executes my data flow task it errors out. I basically get a message stating that it cannot prepare any statements because the SQL command that I am using is trying to select column data from a column that doesn't exist.
I figured that I could set the OLEDB Source inside of my Data Flow to have a Data Access Mode = SQL command from variable. The variable bound to the component is called "MySelectQuery" and is initially set to my "new format" query. From there I could create an event handler for the OnError event of the Data Flow Task, switch value of "MySelectQuery" to equal the "old format" query and rerun the Data Flow Task.
I'm not sure how to accomplish restarting my Data Flow Task after changing "MySelectQuery" in the OnError event. I just tried setting up the package to use CheckPoints but it doesn't seem to be working right for me. When I restart the package it starts over even though there is a checkpoint file that seems to have captured the state after the failure.
Any ideas?

Interesting Data Flow Task Problem
Sep 26, 2007
hi i have an issue in Dataflow task basically i have 10 or more Dataflow tasks in a package and i intend to do is capture the Input FileName and Destination Name of that DataFlow Task into a Sql server Table.
I donot want to hard code but is there a way of storing these names in variables or getting the name from dts runtime properties to store them into a table.
My purpose to capture these values is to log these values along with error rows into a table.

Sep 28, 2006Hi, there,
I am having some problems with the loading of tab delimited text file (source) to a SQL Server table (destination) using the SSIS data flow task. Package has been executed successfully with no error msg. The number of rows in the text file also matches the number of rows in the SQL table. But, when I check the content of the table, I noticed some of the columns contain NULL which supposed to have value. This happens not to all the rows but only to some rows. I did some testing by removing some rows from the beginning, middle and end of the text file and re-run the package but the result is quite inconsistent. Sometimes, the field got filled, but sometimes, it just contains NULL where it supposed to have value.
What will be the possible causes to this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Yong Hwee
