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?
What's the best way to write key values of records processed in my SSIS 2012 package to the log provider chosen?My SSIS package deactivates widgets as well as thingies. It was just released into production this week, runs daily, and we'd like to keep a close eye on what it's doing for a couple of weeks, by that I mean on any day be able to quickly see which thingies and widgets were deactivated that morning. It typically deactivates less than 5 widgets and thingies per day.
We could dig through the database to see which were deactivated, but that only works if somebody hasn't manually reactivated it since it was deactivated. We need a log. This is a temporary watch we're doing, so we don't want to write to a table or make make any significant package changes, such as adding new tasks.It seems like writing the 5-or-so deactivated thingy and widget key values to the log is the best way to watch this package. What's the most efficient way to do this? I'm hoping to avoid a new loop and script component with "Dts.Log" calls, but I don't know any other way.
I run SSIS using DTEXEC command. The output of the SSIS are getting truncated after X caracters.
This is a typical message which doesn't really debug. (as the full path would show me the DB name...)

My source data indeed has leading 0s and I am reading my data into a #Temp Table with the data type of VARCHAR(10)...and its value is "0002565387". I am pumping this data into a SQL Server Table utilizing "OLE DB Destination". My "Flat File Connection Manager" has this column [AdditionalInfo4] defined as string [DT_STR] and the OutputColumnWidth is 100. I don't do any data derivation against this particular data column and simply map it in my "OLE DB Destination" and my database column is defined as [AdditionalInfo4] with a data type of VARCHAR(100).
Upon successful data pump of the data into my SQL Server Table, the column appears in SQL Server as "2565387".
Why is my SSIS solutuion truncating the leading 0s, which are indeed significant, on the data pump of data into my SQL Server Table? Is this possibly just a nuance of SSIS? Should I define a data column derivation for this data column so that the leading 0s are retained?
I have created a SSIS package that runs several reports exporting the file output to a shared directory. Then I email these files as attachments to an email group. I got everything working so far. But when I checked the email there are only some of the attachments (3 out of 6 files).I have created a variable that uses an expression to concatenate several filenames and their paths separated with a "|". When I evaluate the expression it list all six files. When I use the variable in an expression when assigning the "FileAttachments" property in the Expressions tab in the Send Mail Task editor and I evaluate the expression, it only shows 3 out of the 6 files.
Each file name and path is less than 100 characters. Why is this task only grabbing 3 out of the 6 files. If I check the shared directory all 6 files are there. Also, there are two paths in the package that input into the Send Mail Task each creating a different set of report files. Only one of the paths files are getting attached. The connectors to the Send Mail Task are set as Evaluation operation: "Constraint" and the Value: "Completion". Under Multiple constraints I have selected "Logical AND, All constraints must evaluate to True".

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to import data in Excel into SQL Server table which you would think would be an absolute doddle seeing as they're both key Microsoft products in the BI family..One of the columns in Excel spreadsheet is Comments1 and a couple of the values in this column are over 300 characters in length yet when I set up the Excel source and then open Advanced Editor and look at Input and output properties this column has a data-type of Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255 which leads to the truncated error in the title.
I've researched this and on find going into the registry and updating the TypeGuessRows value from 8 to zero. I've done this and yet the data-type is still showing as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255. I've even moved the row with the largest number of characters to the top of the spreadsheet and changed the TypeGuessRows value to 1 but the data-type still stays the same.I can't believe that it's soooo difficult to import data from one of Microsoft's key BI applications to another using their 'world-class' integration tool.
I will be receiving a CSV daily where columns within the file will change. The column order and number of columns can change daily. I need a way to read in the header from the csv and create a flat file connection that reflects the columns listed in the header.

I have a lot of different data flows that need "Derived Column". There are maybe only 5 different such "Derived Column" but they appear many times. Is there a way to eliminate all that double work?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new to SSIS and C#. In SQL Server 2008 I am importing data from a .csv file. Now I have the columns dynamic. They can be around 22 columns (some times more or less). I created a staging table with 25 columns and import data into it. In essence each flat file that I import has different number of columns. They are all properly formatted only. My task is to import all the rows from a .csv flat file including the headers. I want to put this in a job so I can import multiple files into the table daily.
So inside a for each loop I have a data flow task within which I have a script component. I came up(research online) with the C# code below but I get error:Index was outside the bounds of the array.I tried to find the cause using MessageBox and I found it is reading the first line and the index is going outside the bounds of the array after the first line.

We have a requirement to produce adhoc Excel reports with a standardized header page with a disclaimer attached. We want to be able to feed in a SQL Statement, or a table with the resultset from a SQL Statement and have SSIS populate an existing blank Excel workbook, which the disclaimer attached. The use of xp_cmdshell is not an option.I've spent a lot of time looking for solutions on the web and it seems though its not possible - although many articles are 3-5 years old. Before I throw in the towel, I just wanted to get feedback from this group if it still is not possible in the latest versions of SQLServer and SSIS, or to ask if there are any other 3rd party solutions that can do this today.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was to split each record into multiple columns. The problem is some records need to be split into only 1 column, others may need to be split into more. Also need to remove the "/"'s. This is all dependent on where a "/" is found. Been beating my head for a while and getting nowhere.
So:
create table #foo (myPK int, c1 nvarchar(425))
insert into #foo values (1,'/folder1')
insert into #foo values (2,'/lvl1/folder2')
insert into #foo values (3,'/folder1/lvl2/folder3')
insert into #foo values (4,'/f1/folder2/lvl3/fldr4')
Should return as:
folder1
lvl1
folder2
folder1
lvl2
folder3
f1
folder2

I have a scenario where we have to handle dynamically changing source columns.
For example , some times in the source files the number of columns will be increased or decreased, new columns can be added in the middle or in the end of the source file.
How to handle this kind of scenario in the SSIS ?
I have a flat file with 13K columns which I need to load in a wide table.
The flat file does not even have column names and no datatypes defined.
How to load data in the wide table?

How do I define datatypes in the flatfile connection manager in SSIS for 13000 columns ?
I have a requirement wherein I have to setup the flat file connection manager to accept columns on fly. Meaning I want to retrieve list of columns/column count from the database when the package is run and set the connection manager with those many columns.

I have a situation where I want to load the Excel file dynamically, and the excel file have different columns or even worksheet name. How I could approach this? I believe there's no way to modify the meta data (specifically the mapping) in the data flow.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to load flat files into a single table. But the flat files can have variable number of columns upto a maximum of 10 columns. The table in my database has 10 columns in it. So in case if I load a flat file having 6 columns then rest of the columns in the table will have nulls. I don't want to use script task for this as I am not good in writing C#code.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHere is a requirement. Need to update the columns in the tables with the latest values available in CSV.
The file is based on department so the list of tables which is under this department all the corresponding tables needs to updated.
The CSV file which is dynamic in nature the number of columns changes it has header of the columns that needs to be updated.
The destination tables are listed under department table for each department. So I have to update the columns in the tables with the values in csv.
I'm trying to use the Import/Export Wizard as I used to, as a handy tool to figure out what a series of T-SQL statements (in an SSIS package) is doing - or, if I'm lucky, what on earth the original dev intended them to do.
Version: SQL 2014 64-bit running on Win 7 64-bit
The code is pretty dreadful:
SELECT DISTINCT on one set of column names,
join this set to another table but not on exactly the same set of column names,
embedded (SELECT MAX(bla) FROM SameTable WHERE [match to outer set on another set of columns] GROUP BY [hey, yet another set of columns!]) inside the SELECT column list...
and it all goes to a nasty #Tmp, which is then abused with further bad code further down.
Imp/Exp is always handy to quickly get the intermediate results into an auto-created real table, so I can figure out exactly what the effect of this is. I use it to export from the database back to the same database, but to a persisted table.
This time (first time with SQL2014) it's not working. The source is "write a query" (paste the actual query). The destination I set to a new table. The auto-generation of the new table creates every column as type date. Not surprisingly, this doesn't work, as the original data is mostly not of date time.
I'm loading data from a sql server table into a flat file. The flat file connection manager has the following settings
GENERAL:
Format:Delimited
Text Qualifier:"
Header row delimiter: {CR}{LF}
Header rows to skip : 0
Columns:
Row Delimiter: {CR}{LF}
Column delimiter: comma(,)
The only way to add a new column to an existing mapping that I know is to go to advanced editor and refresh. This however keeps only the default mapping (where the field names match), the rest is wiped out, so need to restore the mapping manually after that. Risky and annoying at the same time. Is there any alternative?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn order to update an Oracle table target from a SQL Server table source I need to use a Foreach Loop Container, so I can loop on the rows of the SQL Server table source. This source table has two columns: the old identifier to update and the new identifier to apply. I must use the value of the old identifier to filter the Oracle rows to update, while the new identifier is the new value to assign to the filtered old identifier.
I already know how to use the Foreach Loop Container when it is necessary to loop on an unique column of a table/view (using an object variable, using a Foreach ADO enumerator, etc.), but I need to loop on two columns.
I have a main report and 2 sub reports. I would like to pass the total Premium Paid from 2nd Sub report , and Total Bonus received from 3rd Sub report back to main report.
My scenario is actualy much more complicated than what i had attached below, which i cannot join the query for the 3 different reports together. But for demo purpose, i created the following sample scenario.
My main report is to display the sales summary by person by location.
A person may have more than 1 account number, and each account number is entitly for bonuses. As illustrated below.
I am writing a package where, at one step, I need to copy data from a source with text columns of 150 characters to a destination with matching text columns of only 60 characters. The data present in the source is all less than 60 characters in length, but if this changes in the future and data begins to be truncated, I want to be informed of this.
This raises two problems. First, because I'm not pre-emptively truncating the columns, my Data Flow Destination allows shows a validation warning. Is there any way I can tell SSIS "I know that data might be truncated, but I want to deal with that at run-time, not as design-time"?
Second, I'm not sure how to pass myself a notification using the options provided by Error Output on the Data Flow Destination. Fail Component would allow me to alter the control flow, but I would prefer not to have the process fail utterly because of one truncated record. I'm not sure if Ignore Failure will simply omit the row that would be truncated (not an acceptable solution) or truncate the data (could work temporarily, but I still need to be warned). Redirect Row is appealing but has a different problem - if I redirect the error/truncated rows to a separate table, that Data Flow Task no longer fails, which means I have no way to raise a notification.
Is there a better way to do this? The only option I can think is to do Redirect Row, and then have the next step in the Control Flow be a script that checks for the presence of records in my error table, and send a notification if there are, but that seems unnecessarily circuituous. Is there a way in SSIS to arbitrarily send a Failure message if a given step is hit (possibly with Events), or is that case reserved strictly for halting failures?
