I've read about the XML Source sometimes setting error output columns to DT_WSTR(255), but mine is now setting them to DT_NTEXT.
Anyone have any suggestions short of an XML editor? I'm concerned that I might do something to "refresh" the columns and cause the problem again.
I have a data source that I access via odbc in a DataReader Source component in SSIS. I can access the data fine. However, I am having problems with certain fields that are numeric (specifically home prices ranging from 100,000.00 to 99,999,999.00). In the advanced editor for my data reader source under the input and output properties tab, in data reader output under the external columns and output columns, these fields for some reason default to numeric data types with a precision of 4 and a scale of zero, not large enough to hold the data that is coming in. This causes errors that make the data come in as null (after i specify to ignore the errors).
I can change the precision and scale to 18 and 4 in the external columns, but when I try to change the datatype, precision or scale in the output columns I get the following message:
Property Value is not valid.
The details are:
Error at Import DataReader Source: The data type of output columns on the component "DataReader Source" cannot be changed.
Error at DataReader Source: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xC020837D)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.DataReaderSourceAdapter.SetOutputColumnDataTypeProperties(Int32 iOutputID, Int32 iOutputColumnID, DataType eDataType, Int32 iLength, Int32 iPrecision, Int32 iScale, Int32 iCodePage)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Greetings everyone,
I am seeing a particular problem in the XML Source Editor "Columns" configuration where it is not persisting the "Output name" selection.
Control Flow Tab:
1. I use a "Exec SQL Command" to drop, create, or alter the destination tables in the database that I want to be repository for the inbound XML data. The data types are fairly straightforward.
2. I add a singular "Data Flow"
Data Flow Tab:
1. I add a "XML Source" task, and assign a well-defined XML file. I then use the "Generate XSD" option in the "Connection manager"; and I am fairly satisfied with the generated XSD.
2. I create "OLE DB Destination"
3. I wire the "XML Source" to the "OLE DB Destination". In the "XML Source" in the "Columns".
4. I go to the dropdown list of "Output name" and see the list ordered with the various complex-types that I want to map and transfer to a target table.
For the sake of this report, I select the 5th one down on the list (for which I already have a target table) - let's call this "Mesh"
5. In the "Input Output" dialog, I select the "output" to be the desired 5th item, "Mesh"
6. I check all my mappings so that they map one-to-one ... XML name entries match SQL table destination mapping entries; correct types; correct size
7. Check the metadata and it all looks good.
8. When I hit "Debug" to test the package the failure occurs at the "XML Source". The error report comes back saying that it failed because "field xxx in Contributor was truncated". However, "Contributor" corresponds to the 1st name in the dropdown list presented in "Columns" "Output name:".
If I select return to Step 4, when I open up "Columns" I see that my previous selection of the 5th item on the list named "Mesh" was not persisted, but invariably and no matter how often I select item #5 "Mesh" and save to ensure that selection sticks, it is not persisted.
I hand-edited the .dtsx file and only then was I able to make this stick. However, if I ever re-save the package this non-persistency pops up again.
Am I doing something wrong here or is this a known defect? As I have several dozen XSD mappings that I want to transfer to tables, hand-editing is not something I relish.
I look forward to your reply.

I am using execute sql task to run a stored procedure in oracle database which returns a resultset. This works. Now I need to send the ouput to a destination table in a sql database. Should I use for each loop to pick the resultset and insert it into the destination one by one (which I dont think is a great idea) or is there a better way to accomplish this task (in data flow task) ?
When I use dataflow task instead of execute sql task, the main issue is I am not able to see the output columns when I execute an oracle stored procedure, but when I see the preview I can see the resultset . But I can see the output columns for a sql server stored procedure.
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 "ÿ" 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 "ÿ" 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 "ÿ".
i hope you can help me with issue.
Thanks in advance.
What is the purpose of the error output for an OLE DB Source component. Any sql that would cause an error such as converting a character to a number or division by zero causes the OLE DB Source component to fail regardless of the settings for the error output. Works perfect for OLE DB Destination but I cannot come up with any scenario where it would work for the OLE DB Source component.
Thanks in advance,
Brad
In the Input and Output Properties tab under Advance Editor for OLE DB Source, I cannot remove columns. I copied this Source from a standard template and have made the normal changes to make it work. However I keep getting this error...Error: 0xC020837B at Load Server Security, OLE DB Source [1]: The output column "DBName" (1632) on the error output has no corresponding output column on the non-error output.Error: 0xC004706B at Load Server Security, DTS.Pipeline: "component "OLE DB Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".DBName of course is one of the columns that no longer exist, but I can't remove. Whenever I try to remove one of the columns, I get this error...Error at Load Server Security [OLE DB Source[1]]: The column cannot be deleted. The component does not allow columns to be deleted from this input or output. Is there anything that I can do to remove the columns? Is there just a simple setting that I can change to make this work?

This might be an ignorant question, but I can't figure this out.
What is the purpose of the Error output data flow from the OLEDB Source? I am trying to understand an example of what kind of "error" would cause a row to go down this path, and I can't come up with one.
Does anyone have a good example of how this could be useful?
For the Custome source Component ErrorOutput, should I go for asynchronous / synchronous Output.
If i go for synchronous output
// Create the error output.
IDTSOutput90 errorOutput = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New();
errorOutput.IsErrorOut = true;
errorOutput.Name = "ErrorOutput";
errorOutput.SynchronousInputID = What Id is required here;
errorOutput.ExclusionGroup = 1;
Is it the IDTSOutput90 InPut.ID / OutPut.ID which should be assigned.
Thanks Regards
Anil
This seems like a simple task that just doesn't work. I have an XML source, and on that source, I have the Error Output configured such that the Trunctations are set to "Ignore failure", and the Errors are all set to "Redirect Row". They are then being redirected to a Row Count transformation.
To set up a test for this, I have an integer type (DT_I4 specifically) that I am populating with an alpha-numeric value. For example:
<BatchID>118a</BatchID>
However, this column prevents my XML source from loading at all, and throws the following error:
The component "XML_SRC - File" (46) failed attempting to write data to output column "BatchID" (2030) on output "Payment Error Output" (115). Input string was not in a correct format.
I checked BatchID (2030) throught the advanced properties of the XML Source, and this is defined as a Unicode text stream [DT_NTEXT] field, so I don't see why there would be a problem.
Is this a bug, or am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all,
I saw a couple of other posts here on this topic, but none quite got to my issue.
I'm trying to add error output to a custom source component (not a script, a custom component). The samples all seem to deal with transform components, and my issues seem to be unique to source components.
I have the following code related to error handling ...
Public Overloads Overrides Sub ProvideComponentProperties()
...
Dim output As IDTSOutput90 = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New
output.Name = OUTPUTCOLUMNNAME
output.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.IsUsed = True
ComponentMetaData.UsesDispositions = True
output.ErrorRowDisposition = DTSRowDisposition.RD_NotUsed
output.ErrorOrTruncationOperation = "Something got truncated or blew up"
Dim errorOutput As IDTSOutput90 = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New
errorOutput.Name = ERRORCOLUMNNAME
errorOutput.IsErrorOut = True
...
End Sub
Public Overloads Overrides Sub ReinitializeMetaData()
Dim output As IDTSOutput90 = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection(OUTPUTCOLUMNNAME)
Dim outColumn As IDTSOutputColumn90 = output.OutputColumnCollection.New
outColumn.Name = strName
outColumn.SetDataTypeProperties(DataType.DT_I4, 0, 0, 0, 0)
Dim metadataColumn As IDTSExternalMetadataColumn90 = output.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.New
metadataColumn.Name = outColumn.Name
metadataColumn.DataType = outColumn.DataType
metadataColumn.Precision = outColumn.Precision
metadataColumn.Length = outColumn.Length
metadataColumn.Scale = outColumn.Scale
metadataColumn.CodePage = outColumn.CodePage
outColumn.ExternalMetadataColumnID = metadataColumn.ID
outColumn.ErrorRowDisposition = DTSRowDisposition.RD_NotUsed
outColumn.ErrorOrTruncationOperation = "Something Truncated!"
outColumn.TruncationRowDisposition = DTSRowDisposition.RD_NotUsed
Dim errorOutput As IDTSOutput90 = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection(ERRORCOLUMNNAME)
Dim errorColumn As IDTSOutputColumn90 = errorOutput.OutputColumnCollection.New
errorColumn.Name = outColumn.Name
errorColumn.SetDataTypeProperties(DataType.DT_I4, 0, 0, 0, 0)
...
End Sub
The confusions I have are:
a) the stock advanced properties editor (I haven't provided a custom one) doesn't seem to "realize" that I have an error output, so provides no method to configure. I am believing it would need to know which Output columns can have their error/truncation redirected. I'd have thought setting ErrorRowDisposition on my output column would have been enough to trigger this ??
b) since I don't have any means of configuring, not surprisingly, when I try to connect my error output, designer complains that, "Ths error output cannot receive any error rows. This occurs for several reasons: Input columns or output columns are not yet defined. Error handling is not supported by the component. Error handling is not configured for the component."
c) UsesDispoistions would seem to be appropriate only for a transform component
Thanks for reading, and appreciate any help or pointers.

When setting an output's "IsErrorOut" property to true, is it also possible to add additional columns to that error output?
I'd like to add a message beyond the standard errorCode and errorColumn columns, a column which is the "specific error message", not just a lookup on the errorCode.
IDTSOutput90 outError = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New();
outError.Name = "Error Output";
outError.IsErrorOut = true;
// Add extra column here, e.g. ErrorMessage

Hopefully someone can help me with what I'm sure is a very simple question (new to the XML thing). I receive an XML file from "someplace" that I need to parse out using the XML Source in SSIS. I have SSIS generate me an XSD document, as one isn't provided for me. However, after I do this, SSIS does not show any available external columns to pull data from- the "Columns" section of the source is just blank. I'm pretty sure this has to do with a syntax error in either the XML file that is being provided to me, or the XSD doc that SSIS is generating. Below are both (obviously with data dummied up). Can someone take a look and let me what needs to be changed in either file to get this up and running? I'm looking to grab the AccountNumber, RecordNumber, ProcessedDate, Status, and StatusMessage elements.

Greetings all! I'm writing a small content management program for a website that I'm putting together. One of the critical aspects of this projects is that users want to be able to cut n' paste from Word in to a FreeTextBox control and save it to the database. Well, we've run in to some problems. These entries are running well over 4000 characters, and I'm going to have to use an ntext datatype in order to the field to accomodate the amount of text they want to post.
My input stored procedures work great and it's dumping it well in to the table. But the problem I'm having is with the output. Apparently, you can't pass the values to an output parameter or reference the field directly in a stored procedure. I've scoured the internet and purchased several books just to deal with this issue. Can someone point me in the right direction or offer some examples of getting ntext data out through a stored procedure? I'm in a real squeeze here.
TIA

Hello,
I have a SSIS package with a Data Flow task. This task transfers the data from SQL Server 2000 to a table in SQL Server 2005.
I deployed and tested this package on the Test Server. Then put this package in a job and executed it - Works fine.
On the production server- If I execute the package through DTEXECUI, it works fine. But when I try executing it through a job- the job fails and it gives me following error:
Description: The external metadata column collection is out of synchronization with the data source columns. The "external metadata column "T_FieldName" (82)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection....
What I don't understand is, why are there no errors displayed when I execute the package through DTEXECUI.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks.
Hello everyone,
I have a package that extracts data from a Flat File. If any errors or truncation occur during the extraction of the input data, the package should fail. All fields that have erroneous values should be reported in the log file.
My Solution:
- I have created a Data Flow Task that contains a Flat File Source Adapter and a dummy destination.
- I have left the default "Error Output" configuration of the Flat File Source adapter, namely if a truncation or an error occur for a certain column, then the reaction is "Fail Component".
Problem:
This configuration gives me only the first erroneous column in the row being processed.
Question:
Is it possible to make the Flat File Source adapter continue parsing the current row before it fails? This way, I would be able to get all the erroneous columns in the row in one shot.
Thanks in advance...

Dear experts,
how can i find the ntext datatype columns in a database?
please guide me
Hi all,I need to store data into about 104 columns. This is problematic with MSSQL, since it doesn't support rows over 8kb in total size.Most of the columns are of type NVARCHAR(255), which means we can't havemore than 8092/(255*2) = 15 columns of this type.With a row length of more than 8kb, SQL gives a warning that any rows overthat amount will be truncated.So far I'm seeing two possible solutions to this problem:1. Split data into multiple tables with the same ID column accross alltables, and then join them on SELECT statements.2. Use NTEXT instead of NVARCHAR. NTEXT's length is 16 bytes because itcontains a pointer to the actual value stored somewhere else. However, NTEXTdoesn't support regular indexing, only through a Full-Text Index catalog. Inthis case I'll need to user "WHERE CONTAINS(columnName, 'sometext')" toperform searches, which is bearable.I'm inclined toward #2. However I haven't used Full-Text indices before anddon't know their limitations. Will I run into problems with NTEXT? Is therea better solution?Thanks.-Oleg.

Hello,
I am creating triggers on th efly from stored procedure.I have table 1in db1 and table2 in db2 and i want to capture inserts ,updates and deletes in table 1 to table 2 for which triggers are getting created from SP in SQL 2000.
If i create instead of triggers then its working fine but the row will not be inserted in the main table and i need rows to be inserted in the main table.The tables is having ntext columns.Any work around for this?

I have an Integration services application that retrieves big strings (over 32k) from an ODBC data source and stores them in a SQL server 2005 database as ntext.
Somehow the strings are truncated to 32K. The app only copies the data from the ODBC datasource to the (OLEDB) target.
Also, some of the special characters in the input text are not properly translated.
Any ideas?
Hi,
I am trying to create a program that transfers tables to flat files.
At this point in time, I have suceeded in created one that creates delimited files.
However, I am now trying to create fixed-width files as you can do with the SSIS designer, but programatically.
Is there a way to programatically determine the width of a column from the source table? I can not seem to find any kind of function or member that stores this information or allows me to retrieve it.
I know what I need to change in order to set a width for a column, but I just don't know how to find the width without just asking the user to provide one.
Can someone please explain the difference between Output and External columns? I can't fathom why "Output" columns aren't good enough. In other words, what is there a need or value in having two types of "output" columns?
TIA,
Barkingdong
I am running this query to an sql server 2000 database from my aspcode:"select * from MyTable whereMySqlServerRemoveStressFunction(MyNtextColumn) = '" &MyAdoRemoveStressFunction(MyString) & "'"The problem is that the replace function doesn't work with the ntextdatatype (so as to replace the stresses with an empty string). I hadto implement the MySqlServerRemoveStressFunction, i.e. a function thattakes a column name as a parameter and returns the text contained inthis column having replaced some letters of the text (the letters withstress). Unfortunately, I could not do that because user-definedfunctions cannot return a value of ntext.So I have the following idea:"select * from MyTable whereCheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStesses(MyNtextColum n, '" & MyString &"')"How can I implement the CheckIfTheyAreEqualIngoringTheStessesfunction? (I don't know how to combine these functions to do what Iwant: TEXTPTR, UPDATETEXT, WRITETEXT, READTEXT)

I have Lookup task to determine if source data should be updated to or insert to the customer table. After Lookup task, the Error Output pipeline will redirect to insert new data to the table and the Output pipeline will update customer table. But these two tasks will be processing at the same time which causes stall on the process. Never end.....
The job is similiart to what Slow Changing Dimention does but it won't update the table at the same time.
What can I do to avoid such situation?

I have configured my DataReader to use an ADO.net (ODBC) connectivity (entered Select * from AMPFM) in Sqlcommand and can see my database columns listed in the Advanced Editor / Column mappings window. My process needs to perform a straight column to column population from AMPFM table into my dbo.visitfinancials table. How do I point the output to the above table?
I'm working on a project to put data sent in on XML files into a database but the computer I'm working on is a bit dated and I€™m trying to make things a little more efficient. In order to do this I unselected all the columns in the outputs not used in each data flow task. After the weekend however, SSIS will no longer validate correctly unless at least one column from each output is selected with the error :

Can someone tell me the difference between the Flat File Source Output - External Columns and Output Columns ?
I always end up changing the datatype properities in both to make things work :-)
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?

Like is said, seems to work ok for now, but what if the info in the field is bigger than 4000 length as the max nvarchar can handle?
Thanks,
Zath
