one of the validation i need to make is if i recieve the set of file then it process the package , if i have less then six file in it should move files to a failure location.
the challenge i have is i can have multiple sets of file at at given time in ftp location.

I am new to SSIS...
I have a very simple SSIS package that loads a text file into a table.
It works fine when I test it from Business Intelligence, but fails in PRODUCTION with the following error:
The file name "\????????.txt" specified in the connection was not valid.
Please help.

Hi,
I am quite new to SSIS (I was a DTS developer) and I have a specific requirement to validate all incoming data using regular expressions. For each row in my input file, all columns will need to be validated against an expression. We have approx 60 different input files (a combination of xml and text files) with column counts going from 10 up to 120.
Also each input file will contain a footer which will need to be validated for record counts.
I would like the solution to be as generic as possible as the requirements for each file are similar -the only difference being the column names and the expressions to check against. I would really rather not have a different data flow task for each input file type as there are so many.
Can anybody suggest the most efficient/reusable way to do this? What I was thinking of was this:
Split the input file into detail/footer
create a temporary table based on the input file type with CHECKconstraints (regular expressions) for each column
for each detail record load it into the temp table
redirect any failures to another destination e.g. sql error table
Any other ideas would be very helpfull
Many Thanks
Gaye

Hi,
I have migrated a DTS pakage into SSIS. The DTS package validates a Textfile Source File using an ActiveX Script task.
Could somebody tell me how to validate a FlatFile in SSIS. Based on whether the file exist or if exist then whether its empty or not, I have to execute a database proc.
It'll be very helpful if somebody can assist me in this.
Thanks in advance.

We have the following scenario: We receive CSV files every month for which SSIS packages were built to process the data. The following problems occur from time to time:
1. The structure of the CSV file changed (e.g. column added or removed)
2. There were no footers in the data, but now footers started to appear
3. Date format changed (e.g. used to be mm/dd/yyyy, but became mm.dd.yyyy)
4. Number format changed (e.g. from 2000 to 2,000)
Currently we have person who manually opens each file, and using our "validation document" validates to ensure none of these or similar problems occur. We would like to move away from this manual process if possible. I understand that items 3. and 4. could be caught by loading data into a staging table with VARCHAR data types, and performing validation before moving it any further.
Item 2 is a bit questionable (meaning depending on the footer size SSIS load could fail or not).
Item 1, however, is a sure fail of the SSIS package that directly loads the data into a table.
Thus I feel the two possible options are:
1. Create a custom script that will run through the file, row by row, apply all the necessary validations and report an error or continue if all checks out
2. Use some 3rd party tool to validate the files (semi-manually) before kicking off the SSIS processing.

OK. Here's my situation. I check for the existence of a dummy .txt file using a script. I send an e-mail if it does not exist and exit package. The .txt file only exists if another .xls file is present which I import. However, during the validation phase of the package, the package fails because the .xls file does not exist. Is there a way to bypass the validation step? The only solution I came up with is to have a two-step job. The first runs the file check step and sends the e-mail. The second attemps to run the package and fails. Not a very graceful exit.

I have a package set up basically with two consecutive data flows. The first flow takes data from an OLE DB Source and stores it into a Flat File Destination. The second flow uses this same flat file as a source, alters the data, and stores the data in the same flat file, overwriting the old file. I set DelayValidation to True on the flat file. Still, here are the error messages I am receiving:
Error: 0xC020200E at DO, Flat File Destination [7676]: Cannot open the datafile "C:Temp.txt".
Error: 0xC004701A at DO, DTS.Pipeline: component "Flat File Destination" (7676) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020200E.
I am new to SSIS, so I'm sure I have a setting wrong or something. Is the problem that SSIS is trying to write to a file from which it is simultaneously reading data?
Thank you.

Hi
I am running the following:
DECLARE @h uniqueidentifier --conversation handle
DECLARE @msg xml; --will hold the message
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @h
FROM SERVICE [ewx.co.za/Service/store001_ewx_sb_service]
TO SERVICE 'ewx.co.za/Service/ewx_sb_hub_service'
ON CONTRACT [ewx.co.za/Contract/ewx_Contract];
SET @msg = '<InventoryUpdate>
<TitleId>STORE001TEST1</TitleId>
<Quantity>7777</Quantity>
</InventoryUpdate>';
SEND ON CONVERSATION @h
MESSAGE TYPE [ewx.co.za/Message/ewx_sendmsg](@msg);
Now to test errors comming back on the aueue i sed to make the xml tags wrong, then the target would send a error back on the queue with xml validation failed (both queues have validation well_formed_xml). However now in testing i cannot even send the message i get an invalid xml error straight away, i am not sure why this is , i know the xml is not valid but the send used to work and i would get an erro rback, as the xml is validated by the ttarget, but this no longer works it ails strainght away, with no thing in any queue. What could be causing this ?
Thanx

I think I have read online a recommendation about not using XML VALIDATION in a production environment, due to performance reasons. Is it recommended using other that NONE validation in production, and is there available documentation for a scale that grades performance hits for various types of validations?
Thanks

Hi,
I have following XML-file and XML-schema:
<template xmlns="http://www.mycompany.com/xsd/PageTemplate">
...
</template>
<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://www.mycompany.com/xsd/PageTemplate" targetNamespace="http://www.mycompany.com/xsd/PageTemplate"><xs:element name="template"><xs:complexType>...</xs:complexType>
</xs:element></xs:schema>
When I create and query the XML file using LINQ, everything works just fine. I also get no compilation errors.
But when I try to add the XML file to a database-field of type xml(CONTENT dbo.Common7), I get following error:
XML Validation: Declaration not found for element 'http://www.mycompany.com/xsd/PageTemplate:template'. Location: /*:template[1] Any ideas? Thanks,Thomas

Is there a way in TSQL to validate a string to ensure it has only numbers or letters (no special characters like @,%, etc)?
I want to write a function that validates a number that should only contain letters and numbers. The function should return 1 if valid 0 if not. If it contains anything other than 0-9 or A-Z or a-z then it should return 0.
Any ideas on how to do this in TSQL? I could do this in C# easily with regular expressions, but I don't want to use SQLCLR or any other external resource like that...just straight TSQL.
Thanks!

Hi guys I am fairly new to t-sql. I am sure there are SPs or scripts that I can use to create a procedure that will do the data validation in the staging table...
Client send us data and often some of the records have bad values... what i have to create is a process that will check for those values and update a flag in the staging table for each column if the data is not valid....
Please help me out if you have something that can be used for this.
Thanks a lot help in advance.

I am having trouble with the SSIS wizard results. The connections to source and destination test good, but when I execute a task to copy all tables from a hosted OLEDB to a local SQL native connection, I get this error:
Error 0xc0202049: Data Flow Task: Failure inserting into the read-only column "eventID".
(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Error 0xc0202045: Data Flow Task: Column metadata validation failed.

The actual table that it is trying to write to is empty. What might I need to do, in order to correct the situation?

Hi there,
I have a package that runs fine in BIDS, however fails when run in a job with the following error: "The Validate method must succeed and indicate the result using an "out" parameter".
The task it is failing on is a third party FTP task that uses expressions for the filesource and filedestination and username. I have set delay validation on for this task, yet it still seems that it is trying to validate it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I have one data flow task which creating a database table (tempTable) and other task will migrate data from other database into this table. Now I add third task which will read the data from this tempTable. If tempTable is not in the database, then validation will failed. Is there a way to turn off validation at runtime.
In my case, my package running every night. I would like to delete this tempTable at end of package run. Now I have to pre create this temp table, and run package and leave the temptable around for the next run to pass validation problem.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm adding a field from a staging database into a mart database which is built using SSIS. I've added the field with relevant lookups (the field is called Business) but I am getting the following error from the Source Load Task:
Error 2 Validation error. DFT Load Vacancy: MI Stage Vacancy Source [1]: The output column "Business" (6336) on the non-error output has no corresponding output column on the error output. Vacancy.dtsx 0 0
The thing is, I've looked and it DOES have a corresponding output column on the error output. Is there something I'm missing here?

Hello,
I have the following iif:
IIF(len(Fields!CustBirth.Value)<10,nothing,datediff(dateinterval.day, cdate(mid(Fields!CustBirth.Value,4,2)+"/"+left(...) + "/" + Right(...) )))
The thing that it is happening is that when i run a report without that CustBirth field i get an error stating that it cant convert the string "//" to date, of course it can't that is why i made the iif, how can i tell it to just try to execute the datediff when the field has the lenght bigger then 10 chars?
I have already installed SP2.
Thank you

We run the same package day in and day out. So we want to turn off validation, which consumes around 30% of the package run time. Since the data source and destinations are known to be correct, we dont need validation and want to save this unnecessary step every time.
How can we Execute without Validation?
