Data Mapping And Migration
May 28, 2004Has anyone used DTS packages for migrating old data to a new schema?
If so are there any tutorials on this?
I'd prefer not to do this by hand. ;-)

I am developing one automation tool for data migration from one table to other table, here i am looking for one function or SP for which i will pass source column and destination column as input parameter and want output parameter to return true when source column data is compatible to copy to destination column if not then it should return false.
For example if source column is varchar and destination column is integer, the script should check all the data in source column in good enough to move to integer column or not and return the output flag. I want a script to work this for all types of data types.
Hi Friends,
I have a small problem in parameter mapping for Execute SQL Task.
I am using a delete statement with 2 conditions.
Followed by another Execute SQL Task which contains commit statement.
delete from tname where c1 = ? and c2 =?
where c1 is number(4) datatype and c2 is of varchar2(20) datatype in oracle.
The connection manager i am using is ORacle OLE DB provider.
I am passing 2 global variables i.e g_v1 of Int32 and g_v2 of String Type.
In the parameter mapping of the Executing SQL task, i am mapping these 2 variables for
c1 and c2 and changed the datatypes inside parameter mapping as Numeric for c1 and Varchar for c2.
I also set the property as ByPassPrepare = True.
When i am executing the package i getting INVALID NUMBER ERROR.
i believe the SSIS is unable to perform the implict datatype converison.
For the next run, i changed the g_v1 varible datatype to Double and also i changed the parameter mapping for c1 as Doble datatype.
This time it is working fine. I can see the Green signal for the 2 SQL Tasks.
But when i connected to Oracle check the count in the table, the data is not getting deleted.
Also,
I set the property RetainSameConnection = TRUE for oracle connection manager.
I am not able to trace this logical error.
The same is working fine in my local machine.
But i am facing the problem when i deployed the same on the client machine.
Is there any problem with parameter mapping?
What should be equialent Datatype for Oracle NUMBER datatype that should be used inside the SSIS package while declaring the global variable and
inside the parameter mapping.
Any thoughts!
Does anyone know of any cross-references between SQL Server data types and the new data types introduced with SQL Server Integration Services?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI can€™t figure out how to map xml data stored in a table to a variable in integration service.
For example:
I would like to use a €śfor each loop container€? to iterate through a row set selected from database. Each row has three columns, an integer, a string and an xml data. In the variable mappings, I can map the integer column and the string column to a variable with type of int and a variable with type of string. But I am having trouble to map the xml data column to any variable. I tried using either a string variable or object. It always reports error like €śvariable mapping number X to variable XXX can€™t apply€?.
Any help?
Hello,Our company often receives data from outside sources to add to our application. This data is usually provided to us in Excel, CSV, XML, etc. The files that we receive usually have different columns from the columns in our database, so we have to map these columns to our table structure to import.I'm looking for an application that will easily allow me to load up the data file (whatever type it may be), expose the columns in the data file, allow me to map these columns in our SQL server, then import the data. I know that this can be done as DTS, however I'm looking for alternatives. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have an Excel source > Data Conversion task > OLE DB Destination.
In the Data Conversion task I rename all the outputs to match the column names in my destination table.
However, when I go to map the columns in the OLE DB Destination mapping tab, it's a mess. Some fields are prefaced by "Data Conversion" as in "Data Conversion.column1", others are prefaced by "Excel Source" and others have no prefix at all.
What's confusing is, since all the columns are going through the Data Conversion task, how come I don't have ALL fields prefaced by "Data Conversion" ?
That is, only SOME of the fields have a "Data Conversion" prefix, and some don't. The ones that aren't prefaced by "Data Conversion" have no corresponding "Excel Source" so I'm assuming that the ones without the prefix are from the Data Conversion task.
It's inconsistent. Any ideas.
Thanks
Can anyone recomend an EXTREEMLY user friendly web based data mapping / conversion tool? I am wanting to transform csv, xml, database sources into csv, xml, db sources. There are a ton of Windows based applications (ie: www.altova.com / mapforce). I am looking for something I can expose via the web...
users has ability to upload a csv file and then define how the data would be mapped to an output source (say another csv or xml). In addition having functions like concantination, sum, if-exists, etc...
Does SSIS have a user friendly interface or has someone written some interactive tools on top of SSIS.
Any information will be greatly apreciated.
Thanx
Hi Can anyone point me to a document somewhere that shows a mapping ofSQL Server 2000 datatypes to C datatypes? I am writing some extendedstored procedures which need to be able to process pretty much anydata type, so I want to make sure I am taking them from SRVPROC andstoring them in the correct C data type.Thanks,Bruce

Hi,
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)
Thanks.
I am just starting out with SSIS and trying to get the feel of data cleansing using it. But on my very first project for data cleansing I've got into this weird error.
My data flow is very simple, it has a OLE DB source, Fuzzy Lookup and OLE DB destination. I've built three tables for this purpose, one is source, one is reference (it will be used to match for the real entries in fuzzy lookup) and the last is the destination table.
In all the three tables I've a field of City which I'd like to Fuzzy lookup in the reference table and if it crosses certain confidence level, I'd like to insert to the destination table. City in all the tables has the same datatype, defined in the same way, it is varchar(50).
But when in the fuzzy lookup I try to map the Source tables City field to reference tables City field, it gives me this error:
The following columns cannot be mapped:
[City, CityRef]
One or more columns do not have supported data types, or their data types do not match.
Although as I have mentioned before, both have same data types and are defined in the same manner (i.e. I've just selected the datatypes for those columns and all the other settings are left to default). I just cannot understand why this is happening, plz help me with this. FYI I've also tried to give the City Column different datatypes in all the tables like varchar(max), text, Only to be greeted with the same error message.
Waiting for your reply!!

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, I am trying to use an integer as input parameter for my task I get suck on the parameter data type.
The input parameter is define as @Control_ID variable as Int32 in SSIS. When I got into the parameter mapping of Execute SQL Task, I don't find the Int32 data type. I used to try Short, Numeric, Decimal and so on, but all of those data type didn't work. and it returns the following error message:

I am currently in the process of migrating data from Sybase to Sql server and would like to know how to test the data migrated.
As of now, we took one table data from both source and destination and compared it in Excel to check if the data migrated looks good (note, we used SSIS to migrate data). However, I would like to check if there are any other best & easy ways to apprach data validation post migration.
I have a cluster hosting multiple GP databases and a second for my data-warehouse I am playing around with (personal project).
I have scripts that pull data from all the DB's to input into the DW's tables(Customers,Reps,Hub....)
An example of my branch script :
select interidas BranchID,
cmpnynamas BranchDesc,
address1as BranchAddressLine1,
address2as BranchAddressLine2,
address3as BranchAddressLine3,
zipcodeas PostalCode
from dynamics..SY01500
Where interid in ('comp1', 'comp2', 'comp4', 'comp5')
what would be the best way to using these scripts pull the data to my testDW and not have duplicate data issues?
I was thinking of using a staging DB on the GP cluster and then building an import data package to run nightly. the issue i had was how do i avoid duplicate data ?
Hi,
I'm having my first go at developing a destination adapter which will send data to an update Web Service.
I've got some rather big gaps in my understanding. I've been following the various samples I've found on the net and have validated my mapping and picked up all the available column names and datatypes which are appearing in the Input and Output Properties tab of the Advanced Editor but I only have a tab for "Input Columns" and not "Column Mappings".
Which method defines the availble columns for the user to map?
Let me know if I haven't given enough information.
cheers

Hi,
For the Data Driven Subscription in SSRS we are using the following stored procedure
In Step 3 - Create a data-driven subscription
create procedure spRSGetReportSettings
(
@ReportID as integer
) as
begin
set nocount on
declare @t as table(y int not null primary key)
declare
@cols as nvarchar(max),
@y as int,
@sql as nvarchar(max)
set @cols=stuff(
(select N',' + quotename(y) as [text()]
from (select ParameterName as y from Reportsettings where reportid=1) as Y
order by y
For XML Path('')),1,1,N'');
set @sql=N'select * from
(select reportid,parametername, parametervalue from ReportSettings where reportid= ' + Cast(@ReportID as varchar(5)) +' ) as D
pivot(min(parametervalue) for parametername in(' + @cols +N')) as p'
exec sp_executesql @sql
end
Basically the idea is to maintain a single report parameter setting table for multiple reports.
Structure of the table is as given below
ReportID, ParameterName, ParameterValue.
Using Pivot we can generate the ParameterName/ParameterValue combinations for each report. This stored procedure is working fine in query editors(Management Studio)
But, in SSRS it is giving any results.
In Step 4 - Create a data-driven subscription,
Get the value from the database drop down, I am not getting any database columns.
Please help.

Not seeing the Review Data Type Mapping Screen in SQL Server Import and Export Wizard?
Is there only a certain version where that screen shows up?
I am trying to import data from an MS Access application to SQL Server and all of the connections are good, but some of the data isn't and if I let it migrate using this tool it crashes on the bad data and there is no data that migrates. The Review Data Type Mapping screen will allow me to bypass the records in error and load the rest. however, I can;t do that if I cannot see the screen.
I have sales data in SSAS cube and mapping data in RDBMS table. I want to apply join to get result into SSRS report.
Here we should get data of yesterday from time dimension of cube.
Time is in [Time].[FiscalYearHierarchy].[Fiscal Day].&[2015-05-28T00:00:00] format.
Hi,
I use lookups to map surrogate of level 1 dimensions to my fact tables in SSIS.
But how to handle a level 2 dimension with a ValidFrom and a ValidUntil date field?
I do not use an IsCurrent column, because this could problem with late arriving facts.
- In dts I used an SQL statement like this:
update SA
SET SA.DimProdRef = Dim.RecordID
FROM SAWarenEingang SA, DimProd Dim
where SA.ProduktNumber = Dim.ProduktNumber
and SA.ArtikelkontoBewegungsdatum between Dim.ValidFrom and Dim.ValidUntil
Now in SSIS I want to handle the whole thing in the data flow without using a staging table:
- Using Lookups: I would have to pass the date column for each inside the fact table into the lookup. That does not work.
- Using Execute SQL in the data flow: would be very slow, because the statement will be executed for any line in the dataflow
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Stefoon
I have data in tables with the constraints turn on.
I would like to remove all the data from the tables and add new data, and also reset the
identity back to 1, without dropping the constraints.
Any suggestions??
If I used truncate table, I would have to remove the primary key.
If I remove the primary key I would loss my constraints.
Thanks in advance,
Vic
Dear All,
I'm having to manage data migration from a proprietary db system to an in-house designed sql server db.
Is there anyone out there who dealt with this and used software or services of companies specialising in this?
All ideas are welcome, thanks in advance!
Hi
We are in the process of migrating Data from SQL SERVER 2000 to
Oracle 9i.
Can anyone let me know what are the steps that needs to be followed
in achieving the same.
If there's any specific documentation also available , please let me know
Any pointers would be of great help.
Thanks

I have 2 Tables
Table 1 has
Id
Type
Table 2 has
Id
Type
PartNumber
I need to migrate data from Table 1 to Table 2 based on Type.
Type can be 1 or 2.
Example of Source.
Table 1 has
Id Type
1 1
2 1
3 1
3 2
Table 2 should have 2 records for each Id and based on the Type have different Part Numbers. Part numbers will be the same if in the Source table I had just one record with type 1 and if I had 2 records with type 1 and 2 - Part number will be different.
Example of Destination.
Id Type PartNumber
1 1 10
1 2 10
2 1 11
2 2 11
3 1 12
3 2 13
================================
As you see above
1. I need to duplicate records which had just one type in the Source table.
1 1 10
1 2 10
I will have 2 (1 and 2) types now, but everything else the same for the same id.
In my case I will have Part Numbers as guid. I would create them on my own. They will be the same here.
2. I need to have 2 records as it was before in Source table for id's with 2 types, but with different Part Numbers.
3 1 12
3 2 13
In my case I will have Part Numbers as guid. I would create them on my own.They will be different here.
How do I create 2 records for each Id and certain rules for them? How do I find if there is one or there are two records in Source and how do I apply my rules in looping through records? What control in SSIS tool can I use?
Thanks.
Hello,
I need a sql server 7 script that will migrate data from
my DEV dbase ON THE ALPHA SERVER to my WEB dbase ON THE BETA SERVER in a WINDOWS 2000 network. The data desired is for the field rig_id for rig number 0018. The shell of both dbases are similar.
The table is called rig. An snapshot is below:
DBASE name - DEV
TABLE name - rig
customer rig_id amount
Williams 0011 328
Borsha 0013 256
Kaila 0018 411
Yoida 0021 347
The rig table also exists on the WEB dbase. However, the Kaila data
for rig_id number 0018 needs to be added to the WEB dbase's rig table.
The Williams, Borsha, and Yoida data already exists on both tables.
I need to perform this migration w/ a TRANSACT-SQL stored procedure.
Thanks Very Much IN Advance,
Dave

Hello All ~
I have to migrate a database from 6.5 to 7.0 server. We don't have an upgrade wizard to i will have to do a turn around like :
> Scripting the objects
> Running the scripts in 7.0
> BCP out the data into 7.0.
But the problem lies here ! how do i BCP the whole database table data in one shot ? bcos i have a lot of tables in the database and i cannot afford to do a table at a time. If anyone has any script which creates pl do pass it on to me.
Hello Everyone,
Does anyone have experience in migrating data (not structure) from an Oracle 7.x database to a new schema built on SQL 6.5? Especially using third party migration tools, for example Data Junction 6.5?
I would be interested in seeing any materials you can provide or advise as I start down this path.
Thanks in advance,
Troy
Hi all,
I'm working on the data migration section of my project at the moment. The customer I'm working for has an existing system of storing client information in an Excel file. Now, I want to move all this information into SQL Server so my new webapp can access the information. The problem is, for the client details, I used an ID system. For example, each piece of client information can be selected from a list. In the client table, this is stored as an ID. Then I have a ReferenceItem table where the IDs are mapped to descriptions. So my Client table has numbers in it, that map to descriptions in a different table.
Now, the existing Excel files have the descriptions, not IDs. What I need to do is to write some kind of script that will automatically go through the table created after I imported the Excel file, check each description and find it's ID and replace that description with the ID.
Now, I don't even know where to start on this one so if anyone has any pointers, could they please let me know?
Thanks
Eoin
Please find the script for migration. Here I have attached two supporting documents. One is database diagram and the Excel sheet itself
USE [COONEW]

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetScheduledData]
[Code] ....
Table A
200 Rows, each row: X, has a unique value. Has 2 extra columns: C1 and D1.
Table B
4000 Rows, each row: Z, has a value that corresponds to Table A's unique values. Has 2 extra columns: C2 and D2.
What I am looking to do is update all 4000 rows in Table B to match the data set in Table A. C1 -> C2, D1 -> D2 following the criteria that X = Z.
All the update attempts I've made so far only update 200 rows within Table B.
Thank you for your help.
Hi guys,
I just moved to SQL 2005 and am facing a difficulty trying to build a DTS Package using SSIS Projects. I need to migrate data from an old Database design to a new Database design in my local pc.
Can anyone provide me some guidelines or tutorials on which components to use and a flow of the entire process which I should follow? I am confused.
Thanks alot in advance, hope to hear from you guys soon.
Hi
Can Any one help me out of this in my project I have to migrate only datastructure or schema and not the data inside the table using SSIS. How can I do that ?
