How Can I Get The Actual Line Number From Inside Flatfile Sources For Each Record?
Jun 12, 2006hi all,
maybe this is not a serious problem, but I tried for days to come toi a solution without success.
My Problem:
I have have several flatfile sources I need to import into a sql-server 2005 DB.
It is very important for me to have the original line number from inside the source file for each record. The rowcount transform doesn't fit in for this task, because it accumulates all rows until the end of the dataflow.
I tried script components and it works fine if i assume there are no errors in my source. then I simply could declare a local variable and count it up and add a custom collumn to my output. But for errors in my source this won't work, because a second script component won't know the actual value of a package level variable, which i use to store the value, because i am only allowed to access this variable in the post execujte method of the script.
How can I achieve my goal? Please help me...
Thanks in advance .. Bernd

SQL Server 2008 :: Replicate Only Specific Data To Specific Subscriber?
Jun 30, 2015We have a "main" SQL 2014 server who imports XML files using SSIS in a datacenter. In remote sites (which are warehouses), there is an instance of SQL 2014 Express. A merge replication is setup, as every operations done on each site must be "forwared" to the main database, as some XML files are generated as output for an ERP system.
Now, the merge replication replicate all the data to the server on each sites. But a specific site don't need the data of every other sites, only the data relevant to itself (which is the warehouse code). Is there a way to replicate only the data relevant to each individual sites to the subscribers? Or is there a better way than replication to accomplish this?
Can Logging Be Turned Off On Inserts To A Specific Temp Table From A Specific Sp?
Oct 10, 2007I want to ship 500,000 aged transactions each night to an archive table and delete them from their source table in one or more logical units of work (LUW). Each row is approx 60 bytes and there is only one non clustered index on the source table presently.
I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons of 3 alternatives. One of them would basically insert the non-aged rows into tempdb, ship the aged records, truncate the table and then insert the tempdb records back into their source all in the same LUW.
For this alternative, I'd at least like to turn off logging when the records get inserted into tempdb as I dont see any value in logging that part of the activity. Is this possible?
How Can I Remove The Line Feed/carriage Return In The Last Line Of The Exported Text File ?
Feb 27, 2007Hi,
for some AP issue, the file I upload must be without the line feed/carriage return in the last line.
for example:
original fixed-length file (exported from SSIS)
line NO DATA
1 AA123456 50 60
2 BB123456 30 40
3 CC123456 80 90
4 <-- with line feed/carriage return in the last line
The file format that AP request. The file only has 3 records, so it should end in the third line.
line NO DATA
1 AA123456 50 60
2 BB123456 30 40
3 CC123456 80 90
Should I use script component to do it ? I am new for VB . Anyone would help me ?
Thank you all.

Storing And Retrieving Line Breaks/newlines From Multi-line Textbox (C#)
Aug 31, 2007I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum (forgive me if I'm not) since I'm not sure if this is an issue with inserting an item into a db or the processing of what I get out of it. I wrote a basic commenting system in which someone my post a comment about something written on the site. I wanted to keep it very simple, but I at least want the ability for a user to have newlines in their comment without having to hardcode a <br /> or something like that. Is there a way for me to detect a newline if someone, for example, is going to their next paragraph?
Let me know if you need a better explanation.
Thanks in advance!
How To Select A Specific Value From Dataset To Fill A Specific Cell ?
Mar 27, 2007Hi there !
Thanks for taking the time to read this thread.
I don't know whether anyone has this problem, but I am definitely not using the right keywords to search for a thread.
My situation is this...
I have a dataset that has values to fill cells to multiple tables in a report.
However, I only want to select specific data from the dataset to fill textboxes and others.
I cannot change the stored procedure, but the sample of the data is shown below:-
Row Stat Val
0 dtRpt1 02/01/2005
1 Value1 1
2 Value2 2000
3 dtMailSent 02/28/2005
4 Value3 0
5 Value4 5
6 Value5 658
I know it looks weird, but the row really represents which "row" or textbox is it to fill with the Val. The Stat Column is just a way to make sure that I am filling the right values.
so my new report would have multiple tables to denote different categories.
In my first table, I tried putting the cells as follows:-
(expressions are highlighted in italics and bold)
TextBox1 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =0, Fields!Val.Value,"")
Table1
Column1
DetailRow1 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =1, Fields!Val.Value,"")
DetailRow2 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =2, Fields!Val.Value,"")
Table2
Column1
DetailRow1 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =3, Fields!Val.Value,"")
DetailRow2 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =4, Fields!Val.Value,"")
DetailRow3 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =5, Fields!Val.Value,"")
DetailRow4 =IIF(Fields!Row.Value =6, Fields!Val.Value,"")
I only expect this report to print out one page holding the previous values.
However, it ended up printing like this
----------------------------------------------------------
Table1
Column1
DetailRow1 1
DetailRow2
Column1
DetailRow1
DetailRow2 2000
Table2
Column1
DetailRow1 02/28/2005
DetailRow2
DetailRow3
DetailRow4
Table2
Column1
DetailRow1
DetailRow2 0
DetailRow3
DetailRow4
Table2
Column1
DetailRow1
DetailRow2
DetailRow3 5
DetailRow4
Table2
Column1
DetailRow1
DetailRow2
DetailRow3
DetailRow4 658
------------------------------------------------------
I tried putting it into the headerrows instead of DetailRows, and it ended up printing the last value.
Is there anyway to do this ? print all the values out in one table ? I tried using textboxes, but I think I got my expression wrong.
Is this the correct expression ?
=IIF((Fields!Row.Value,"Dataset") =1, (Fields!Val.value, "Dataset"), "")
and it give me an error
The value expression for the textbox €˜textbox5€™ contains an error: [BC30455] Argument not specified for parameter 'FalsePart' of 'Public Function IIf(Expression As Boolean, TruePart As Object, FalsePart As Object) As Object'.
Appreciate any advice or suggestion for this scenario !
Thanks!

Assign Specific Data To Specific Users
Mar 21, 2008I am very early on in developing a website to track issues with projects which is tied to a SQL database. I have my Projects Table, my Users Table, and am creating a third table to track issues. I'm wondering what is the best way to assign specific users to specific data/projects. The user should only be able to view & update the projects assigned to him. He should not be able to see other projects. What is the best way to assign projects/data to the users to make sure they are only viewing their data?

When creating a line chart, I would like to be able to show Markers for the data points, but no line between these points (as you can do in excel).

What Is The Difference Between FlatFile And File ?
Jul 18, 2007What is the true difference between FlatFile and File in terms of ConnectionManagerType? If FlatFile is just a subset, why does SSIS architechture need it? What is the reasoning behind?
View 1 Replies View RelatedGet FlatFile Columns Through ConnectionManager
Mar 29, 2006The CreatePackage sample provided with SQL Server programmatically creates a package that has a source type of OLEDB to a flat file destination. I am building exactly the opposite, source=flatfile, destination=SQL Server. I expect that will be a more common scenario is using SSIS.
The problem I have is populating the source columns in the FlatFileSource connection manager programmatically. I know it can be done because it happens when you build a package in Visual Studio. What I'd like to know is how to do it programmatically in the object model. How can I interrogate the datasource through the connection manager to find out what columns it has? If I know, I can add the columns to the connection manager. My sample below does this, but it doesn't know the number of columns in the source so that value is hardcoded. I'm guessing there is a better way to do this than what I've got below.
How can I find the number of columns in my source so I can add the columns to the connection manager?
Thanks.

FlatFile For LookUp Mismatch
Mar 27, 2007Hi all,
my package has a lot of lookups of fact table fields against dimension tables.
i did a redirect row for each lookup error to a flat file.
i wanted to put all lookup mismatch on the same file, but i couldn't do it because there'll be error saying that
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
i don't think it's practical to have flat files for each lookups. how is this normally done? please help...

Using Expressions With FlatFile Connections?
Jan 3, 2007This seems so obvious, but is causing me a lot of trouble:
The flat files input to my SSIS packages may contain an empty line between each row of data, or may be "continuous" without any extra empty lines. Here are small examples of the data I'm working with:
With the extra line:
"M","SFH","Single Family Mortgage Loans","Single Fam Mtg"
"M","MFH","Multifamily Mortgage Loans","Multi-Fam Mtg"
"R","MIX","Mixed/Various/Unknown","Mixed/Various"
Without the extra line:
"M","SFH","Single Family Mortgage Loans","Single Fam Mtg"
"M","MFH","Multifamily Mortgage Loans","Multi-Fam Mtg"
"R","MIX","Mixed/Various/Unknown","Mixed/Various"
Seems to me it should be possible to set up a single FlatFile connection to handle both these formats, but it's not easy.
I can easily manually edit the FlatFile connection and change the "RowDelimiter" to either "{CR}{LF}" or "{CR}{LF}{CR}{LF}" and the package runs against the corresponding flat file.
However, when I try to use an expression (@[User::StrRowDelimiter]) to set the RowDelimiter to the value of a package variable, the expression is completely ignored.
I can only change the RowDelimiter property on the FlatFile connection by manually opening the editor on the connection and changing it to match the incoming file.
Why isn't this connection seeing the expression I've set up for its RowDelimiter property?
Thanks for any help!

Import From A Flatfile With Rows That Have Different Formats
Jan 23, 2008Hello Folks,
Im trying to use Integrations services to import a file on a daily basis.
My flatfile has to different type of rows that comes from an transaction system, it looks like this:
132,1/1/2008,00,123654,text,1,123.00
132,1/1/2008,00,123652,text,1,23.00
132,1/1/2008,00,123655,text,1,3.00
123,1/1/1/2008,01,149.00
1125,1/1/2008,00,123654,text,1,123.00
1125,1/1/2008,00,123652,text,1,23.00
1125,1/1/2008,00,123655,text,1,3.00
1125,1/1/1/2008,01,149.00;Cash;EUR;01;12
After the date you can see that there is two digits number either 00 or 01. The rows also have a different lengthts.
When ever that columns contains 00 the line should be inserted to a special text file, if the columns contains 01 it should to another file.
How can I solve this in a good way?
One of the problems I have is that when I try to import the rows the flat file connections indicates(erros message) that I have partial row in the file which is true since the the rows with the columns content 01 have more fields then the other.
Thanks for you help.

Flatfile Destination Variable Filename
Jun 20, 2007Why does the raw file have an option for a variable path and the flat file destination does not? Not having this feature makes it impossible to work with variable environments. Please add this option to the Flatfile Destination.

May 11, 2007Hi:
Am trying to write SQL data to multiple flat files.
I use a For Each loop,
store field Values in variables
construct a fileName(variable as expression) for each row,
then create a text file for each row in resultset, (Filesystem task)
and then try to fill each file from a SQL Source to a Flatfile Destination.
Destination.connectionString=Filename.
Works ok for creation of Text Files, so I know my fileName variable is getting evaluated for each iteration.
But the flat file connection manager is stuck and evaluates to the static part of my expression.
What am I doing wrong?
