File Could Not Be Opened In Bulk Insert Task

Apr 2, 2007

hi

with my ssis-package i have to read several flatfiles. this files are stored in different folders on a unix machine. in my loop-task i have first a script, that checks whether the file exists. it does, so i set the path to a variable. in the connection-manager for the flat-file i have set source for the file to that variable. the bulk-insert-task starts, read the file and everithing is cool. but, sometimes, the package fails with this message:

[Bulk Insert Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message:
"Cannot bulk load because the file "\Owpu0kas005
eceivedw000005.090"
could not be opened. Operating system error code 53(error not found)."

i stop the degugging-mode, restart debuging and what happens? it runs ... maybe for the next one, two or three files and the error comes again, but never on the same file. i'm going crazy, what can i do?

thanks for your help.

Bulk Insert Task - Error File

Oct 11, 2007

Using BCP or BULK INSERT you can specify an Error File (-e and ERRORFILE). However this does not seem to be exposed in SSIS via the Bulk Insert Task.

Does anyone know if I'm missing something and the Property is called something else or if can be accessed via script?

Cheers,

-Ryan

Integration Services :: Bulk Insert Is Locking A File Delete Task

Jun 19, 2015

I have an SSIS package doing a bulk insert from a file. Then later on I'm trying to delete that file (in a file delete task), but I'm getting an error:[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The process cannot access the file 'xyz' because it is being used by another process.".I'm wondering if there isn't some way to 'tweak' the bulk insert syntax so that it doesn't lock the file?

Bulk Insert Vs. Data Flow Task (different Row Results Using Flat File Source)

Nov 2, 2006

I'm importing a large csv file two different ways - one with Bulk Import Task and the other way with the Data Flow Task (flat file source -> OLE DB destination).

With the Bulk Import Task I'm putting all the csv rows in one column. With the Data Flow Task I'm mapping each csv value to it's own column in the SQL table.

I used two different flat file sources and got the following:

Flat file 1: Bulk Import Task = 12,649,499 rows; Data Flow Task = 4,215,817 rows
Flat file 2: Bulk Import Task = 3,403,254 rows; Data Flow Task = 1,134,359 rows

Anyone have any guess as to why this is happening?

How Do You Use An Identity Column When Doing A Bulk Insert Using The Bulk Insert Task Editor

Apr 18, 2008

Hello,

I'm just learning SSIS and I've hit my first bump. I am doing a bulk import from a tab delimited text file to an empty sql table that has a Idendity column defined. How do I tell the bulk insert task to skip that column when inserting from the text file. If I remove the identity column it imports the data fine, but I want to create the indentity column in the table too.

Thanks.

Cannot Bulk Load Because The File Could Not Be Opened. Operating System Error Code 5(Access Is Denied.).

Jan 23, 2007

I am facing a issue with bulk upload on Test Server.

Issue: When running Openrowset command from SQL server other that Test Server query runs fine when trying to run the same command from Test Server it gives error.

Msg 4861, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Cannot bulk load because the file "\ServerNameinputFileName.csv" could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(Access is denied.).

For example: If the command is run from System A connecting to SQL Server instance on Test Server Test Server it gives this error. If the same command with same rights is run from any other SQL server instance say Dev1 its running fine.

If the command is run from Test Server connecting to any SQL Server instance including Test Server it is running fine.

Tried: 1) Given the read/write rights on shared folder, to user under which the SQL server service is running on Test Server

2) Given the read/write rights on shared folder to everyone.

Query:

SELECT DISTINCT * FROM OPENROWSET

(

BULK '\ServerNameinputFileName.csv',

FORMATFILE='\ServerNameFormat.xml'

)

AS FileList

Please provide me with some solution. What can be the reason for such behaviour?

Error: 0xC002F304 At Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An Error Occurred With The Following Error Message: Cannot Fetch A Row

Apr 8, 2008

I receive the following error message when I try to use the Bulk Insert Task to load BCP data into a table:

Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 4. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.Bulk load data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 1 (rowno).".

Task failed: Bulk Insert Task

In SSMS I am able to issue the following command and the data loads into a TableName table with no error messages:
BULK INSERT TableName
FROM 'C:DataDbTableName.bcp'
WITH (DATAFILETYPE='widenative');

What configuration is required for the Bulk Insert Task in SSIS to make the data load? BTW - the TableName.bcp file is bulk copy file as bcp widenative data type. The properties of the Bulk Insert Task are the following:
DataFileType: DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_WideNative
RowTerminator: {CR}{LF}

Any help getting the bcp file to load would be appreciated. Let me know if you require any other information, thanks for all your help.

Null - Bulk Insert Task

Jun 5, 2007

Dear All,

For ex:
In SQL Server 2005 when we create table with 3 columns which has allow nulls option is disabled. Then we try to insert record with blank to any one of the column SQL server throws error, coz column name is NOT Null without inserting data it won't saves the record.
When we try to import a csv data file has 3 columns & has null data. If we use BULK INSERT TASK option, it easily inserts the data, without throwing error.

My question is how can we restrict null data without inserting it into the table using BULK INSERT TASK using SQL Server 2005.

Please suggest me to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance
Karna

Bulk Insert Task - Where Does The First Row Begin?

Jan 25, 2007

Hi,

I am using the Bulk Insert Task to bulk copy data from a flat file to a SQL Server 2005 table. The flat file contains pipe ( | ) delimited columns and several thousand records which are {CR}{LF} delimited. The file also contains a header record and trailer record, which contain several words but also contains a ( | ) symbol among those words.

E.g.:

HEDR | yadi yadi yada500 | Data Data | More Data | 600460 | Datum | More More | 705550 | Data | Data | 603FOOTR | yadi yadi yada

I need to ignore the header and trailer records and just pickup the proper records. But even though I manually set the First Row property to 2 and the Last Row property to 4, It does not pickup the first true record i.e. the record which begins with 500, and if I set the First Row to 1, it throws me an error citing 'truncation error' or similar. I think it is taking the first record (i.e. header row along with the first row as one, and since there are now more pipes ( | ) the error is thrown)

I've tried setting different values for these properties but to no avail... Any help will be deeply appreciated...

Thanks

DTS Bulk Insert Task Date Problem?

Mar 16, 2004

Really Don't understand this and have run out of hair to pull out.

DTS package whihc has a Bulk Insert Task. The task is populated with its source filename dynamically. It has a format file which is stored locally to the box its running on.

The output file is from a unix box pipe delimited. Great dandy. All works a treat as long as I treat everything as either an INT or CHAR. But I have a couple of columns that are DATES in the format 13/02/2004.

I want these inserted into smalldatetime columns. Will settle for datetime columns though.

I get an error on every row Bulk Insert data conversion error (type mismatch) for Row X Column 11 (PostingDate) which happens to be the first date column.

Tried loading it as CHAR, SQLDATETIME and SQLDATETIM4 in the format file all to no avail. TRied it with columns in the dest table as DATETIME and SMALLDATETIME

Anyone have any ideas?

Validation Problem Bulk Insert Task

Jan 28, 2008

Hi,

I use a "Bulk Insert Task" inside of a "ForEach Container" and set the ConnectionString-Property of the "FlatFile-ConnectionManager" with an expression, pulling from a variable.
The packages works fine, but I get an Error-Message in the Output-Window:

Fehler: 0xC001401E bei Package, Verbindungs-Manager 'FlatFile': Der in der Verbindung angegebene Dateiname 'c:old.txt' war ungültig.

Translation:

Error: 0xC001401E at Package, Connection-Manager 'FlatFile': Cannot open the file 'c:old.txt'.
(Sorry, in this office is the no english version available).

'C:old.txt' is the initial value of the variable.
The new value is 'C:ew.txt' and I can see the new value in the Debugger or in a Scripttask.

Before the execution of the "Bulk Insert Task" starts, SSIS makes a validation. I have tried to stop the validation on setting the property "DelayValidation" = True (Package,ForEach-Container,BulkInsert-Task,FlatFile-ConnectionManager), but it is not possible to stop the validation and the error-message.
After printing the error-message, the variable is evaluated and the package works fine. After the first loop, there is no more error-message.

The error-message is a problem, because the operators look at the error-output.

As a workaround I can set the property in a Scriptatsk. Is there another solution????

Dan has a blog to this problem, but no solution:

Bulk Insert Task COnfusion In SSIS??

Apr 15, 2008

Hi, ALL

I have a confusion with Bulk Insert task for several days.
Here is what Books Online say, which i totally understand---
"The source file that the Bulk Insert task loads can be on the same server as the SQL Server database into which data is inserted, or on a remote server. If the file is on a remote server, you must specify the file name using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) name in the path."

Now, If my Bulk Insert task (within a package) is on one server, say ETL ( so when i run the package, it will run from ETL server); but, My destination table where data will be inserted, is in another server, say PROD. So, My OLEDB connection will be pointing to a remote server .Now, If my text file is on ETL server, do i have to give UNC path?..Or If i have text file on the same server as my destination ( here PROD) do i Have to Give UNC naming?. I found in several places that Bulk insert Task runs on that server where its connections points to.
My scnerio: I have multiple SSIS packages. Now These packages will be on ETL server, but all the databases will be hosted on PROD server. Now for my Bulk Insert , I asked them to keep all flat file on ETL server(where packages will be ). Looks like this will give me a problem later, since all my Destination will be on PROD server, during bulk insert , sql server will go and look for those files on PROD server rather than ETL server? Or i AM confused here?......
Say package.dtsx is On SER1which useses bulk insert tasks..
My OLEDB connection is SERV2 database B and Table T
Now my flat file connection is D:myfilefile.txt

Now when i run this task where does these txt file will be pulled from. Does it pulls from local server (SER1) or does it goes to SERV2 looking for txt file.

I tried several combinations of moving files to different servers, yet i have no conclusions.

Thanks, Kumar

BULK INSERT ERROR Using Format File - Bulk Load Data Conversion Error

Jun 29, 2015

I'm trying to use Bulk insert for the first time and getting the following error. I think it might have something to do with my Format File and from the error msg there's a conversion error for the first column. In my database the Field is nvarchar(6) so my best guess is to use SQLNChar for the first column. I've checked the end of each line is CR LF therefore the is correct for line 7 right?

Getting Random Locks On Convert And Bulk Insert Task

Feb 10, 2015

I starting getting random LCK_M_SCH_M locks with huge wait time, which hung my etl proccess.

The ssis package runs like this:

I have 4 containers that run in parallel and do the same thing:

-Convert a tab delimited file from unicode->utf8
-Truncate the table (within a foreach loop)
-Bulk insert the data

Also transaction option is set to Not Supported.

What could be causing the lock?

All for each loops do not overlap regarding tables/files.

Do they contest somehow?

Can A Data Flow Task Mimic Bulk Insert?

May 31, 2006

Hi Guys,

The way I understand a Data Flow Task is that it inserts the rows from the source to destination one by one. Is there a way to make it act like a bulk insert task? We have been experiencing performance issues when inserting a lot of rows from one table to another. If there's no way to actually do it, can a bulk insert task functionality be scripted? Coz what I need is a table to table insert, and the bulk insert task only accepts data files as sources.

Thanks!

Problem With Bulk Insert Task And Oracle Database

Nov 24, 2006

I am developing a SSIS package for inserting data in an Oracle database table. but looks like the 'bulk insert task' in SSIS does not support oracle database. I cannot set the destination connection property to use the oracle database connection.

I have created one OLEDB connection pointing to my oracle database. (using 'Oracle Provider for OLEDB' and I tried 'Microsoft OLEDB provider for Oracle' also). this connection is working fine.

When I go to the connection property in the 'Bulk Insert Task's edit dialogue box, in the DropDown list, I don��t see my Oracle connection listed there. (but a SQL server database connection existing in the same package could be seen).

Does anyone have solution for this problem?

SSIS Data Flow Task Slows During Bulk Insert

May 31, 2007

I have an SSIS Package which is designed to import log files. Basically, it loops through a directory, parses text from the log files, and dumps it to the database. The issue I'm having is not with the package reading the files, but when it attempts to write the information to the db. What I'm seeing is that it will hit a file, read 3000 some lines, convert them (using the Data Conversion component), and then "hang" when it tries to write it to the db.

I've run the SQL Server Profiler, and had originally thought that the issue had to do with the collation. I was seeing every char column with the word "collate" next to it. On the other hand, while looking at the Windows performance monitor, I see that the disk queue is maxed at 100% for about a minute after importing just one log file.

I'm not sure if this is due to the size of the db, and having to update a clustered index, or not.

The machine where this is all taking place has 2 arrays- both RAID 10. Each array is 600 GB, and consists of 8 disks. The SSIS package is being executed locally using BIDS.

Your help is appreciated!

XML Format File For Bulk Insert Of Text File With Fixed Length Columns

Jan 2, 2008

Hey All,

Similar to a previous post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=244646&SiteID=1), I am trying to import data into a SQL Table.

I am trying to program a small application that will import product data obtained through suppliers via CD-ROM. One supplier in particular uses Fixed width colums, and data looks like this:

Example of Data

0124015Apple Crate 32.12

0124016Bananna Box 12.56

0124017Mango Carton 15.98

0124018Seedless Watermelon 42.98
My Table would then have:
ProductID as int
Name as text
Cost as money

How would I go about extracting the data with an XML Format file? I am stumbling over how to tell it where to start picking up data for a specific column.
Is there any way that I could trim the Name column (i.e.: "Mango Carton " --> "Mango Carton")?

I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've been calling SQL from my code by doing this:

Code in C# Form

SqlConnection SqlConnection = new SqlConnection(global::SQLClients.Properties.Settings.Default.ClientPhonebookConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();

cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO PhonebookTable(Name, PhoneNumber) VALUES('" + txtName.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPhoneNumber.Text.ToString() + "')";
cmd.Connection = SqlConnection;

SqlConnection.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlConnection.Close();
RefreshData();
I am running Visual Studio C# Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.

Thanks for your time,

Hayden.

Do Not Keep NULLS Using SSIS Bulk Insert Task - Insert Empty Strings Instead Of NULLS

May 15, 2008

I have two SSIS packages that import from the same flat file into the same SQL 2005 table. I have one flat file connection (to a comma delimited file) and one OLE DB connection (to a SQL 2005 Database). Both packages use these same two Connection Managers. The SQL table allows NULL values for all fields. The flat file has "empty values" (i.e., ,"", ) for certain columns.

The first package uses the Data Flow Task with the "Keep nulls" property of the OLE DB Destination Editor unchecked. The columns in the source and destination are identically named thus the mapping is automatically assigned and is mapped based on ordinal position (which is equivalent to the mapping using Bulk Insert). When this task is executed no null values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file. Empty string values are inserted instead of NULL.

The second package uses the Bulk Insert Task with the "KeepNulls" property for the task (shown in the Properties pane when the task in selected in the Control Flow window) set to "False". When the task is executed NULL values are inserted into the SQL table for the "empty values" from the flat file.

So using the Data Flow Task " " (i.e., blank) is inserted. Using the Bulk Insert Task NULL is inserted (i.e., nothing is inserted, the field is skipped, the value for the record is omitted).

I want to have the exact same behavior on my data in the Bulk Insert Task as I do with the Data Flow Task.

Using the Bulk Insert Task, what must I do to have the Empty String values inserted into the SQL table where there is an "empty value" in the flat file? Why & how does this occur automatically in the Data Flow Task?

From a SQL Profile Trace comparison of the two methods I do not see where the syntax of the insert command nor the statements for the preceeding captured steps has dictated this change in the behavior of the inserted "" value for the recordset. Please help me understand what is going on here and how to accomplish this using the Bulk Insert Task.

Why Does Bulk Insert Task Not Work From Remote Servers With Windows Authentication?

Jun 10, 2007

Using Bulk Insert Task extensively in our solution. Everything was working great till we deployed it in stage columns. The database server is different from application servers. We have ASP.NET web services driving SSIS packages on application server. After struggling thru several security issues to get this working (ended up creating an application pool with a domain account) we are now stuck with this problem. On a different note still don't understand what specific security permission is available to domain account that makes it work.

Read in some blog that SQL Server 2005 SP2 Beta had this (Bulk Insert) fixed but not in final production version. Is there a specific reason why this is so?

SSIS and the API is quite easy to work with but associated security and deployment issues are not always clear. A lot of answers seem to be coming from end users - thanks a lot to all for sharing your experiences - sadly not presented clearly in SSIS documentation.
