Delete Blank Row In Flat File Destination From Conditional Split
Hello everybody
I have one question about deleting blank row on flat file destination from conditional split.
I create an SSIS package to filter data from Flat file source.
On flat file source, it is Ragged right format and header row delimeter in {CR}{LF}
the coulums are devided manulaay using markers.
I use only 2 columns divided and send the source into conditional split task and the conditions are given to filter data,
when the output from conditional split is placed on flat file destination, i notice blank rows on the output. I want to delete the blank rows so the result data can be displayed continuously in rows.
anybody has any idea for this? I know the script task will work but hope to avoid to use script task.
Thank you in advance for all the help.

Unable To Edit Pre-defined Flat File Connection Manager Properties In The Flat File Destination Editor
Hi, I am testing SSIS and have created a Flat File Destination. I defined the Flat File Connection as New for the first time and it worked fine. Now, I would like to go back and modify the Flat File Connection in the Flat File Destination Editor, but it allows only to create a New connection rather allowing me to edit the existing one. For testing, I can go back and create a new connection, but if my connection had 50-100 columns then it would be an issue to re-create it from scratch. Did someone else faced this issue? Thanks, AQ

Conditional Split On Field In Csv File
I know this should be simple but I can't figure it out. I am reading in a csv file to a conditional split task, all I want to do is split the file based on a field. Some values in field will have a suffix say ABCD while others wont. So my conditional split says Right(FieldA,4)=="ABCD" which then splits file in two directions or at least it's meant to. Problem is that it does not work. I think it has something to do with the field type in the csv file although I have tried using a Data Conversion task but to no avail all the field values with ABCD suffix are ignored by my conditional split and head off the same way as other values. Funny thing is is that if I manually add a value to the file with a suffix of ABCD and run task again then the conditional split works on the manually added row and all rows with suffix of ABCD. It's like it does not recognise previous values as string until one is added manually. Thanks

Script Component Leading Blank Row In Flat File
I have created a Script Component in my Data Flow that basically reads records from an SQL Table and outputs 3 rows for each input row. My problem is that the Script is outputing a blank row at the beginning of the file. I have requested no headers for the delimited file. I know it is the script because my data viewer from the table doesn't show this additional line where the data viewer from my script and the file has the additional blank line. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Flat File Destination - Don't Create File If 0 Records
Hello friends, I have the following (simplified): 1. Flat File Source 2. Conditional Split, Case Good = !ISNULL(KEY) Case Error = ISNULL(KEY) 3. Case Good -> Writes to Good Flat File (with timestamp in the title) 4. Case Error -> Writes to Error Flat File (with timestamp in the title) Most job runs have no errors but the error file is created as a zero byte file anyway. If there are no error records I don't want the error file created. How might I accomplish this? Thanks

Default To NULL Instead Of Blank/empty String During Flat File Import
Hi, In SSIS flat file import using fastload, I'm trying to import data into SQL 2005 previously created tables. The table may contain column that are NULLable BUT there is NO DEFAULT for them. If the incoming data from flat files contains nothing either between the delimeters, how can I have a NULL value inserted in the column instead of blank/empty string? I didn't find an easy flag unless I'm doing something wrong. I know of at least two ways to do it the hard way: 1- set the DEFAULT(NULL) for EVERY column that needs this behaviour 2-set up some Derived Column option in the package to return NULL if the value is missing. Both of the above are time consuming since I'm dealing with many tables. Is there a quick option to default the value to NULL WHEN there is NO data ELSE insert the data itself? So the same behavior that I have right now except that I want NULL in place of empty string/blank in the varchar(x) columns. Thanks Anatole

Help To Encrypt A Flat File Destination
I am using SSIS to create a weekly data extraction that will be emailed to an external agency. I can extract the data, create the file and email it without any problems but I want to compress and encrypt it before I send to give some measure of protection to sensitive data it would contain. If I did this manually, I would simply use Winzip to compress and encrypt the file to be sent. How can I achieve a similar result programtically?

Disabling The Flat File Destination At Run-time?
I noticed that The flat file destination that I am using, creates a blank file everytime even if there are no records processed by the data flow. I just wanted to know if there is any way to stop this. I dont want to see a chunk of blank files on the disk. (I create the files with a timestamp in the file name so every run creates a new file.) So I want to implement a logic to stop the creation of these blank files in case there are no records to write into it. Any suggestion would be of great help. Regards Saurabh

SSIS Logging To Flat File Destination
Hi I am trying to use a conditional split task so that I can check for specific fields. If the value doesn't exist I am piping the records to a derived field task, where I add an error. I then try to send these records to a flat file destination so that I can keep track of them. However, when I execute the SSIS data flow task I get the following error [Log Invalid Records [5496]] Warning: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. This file isn't being used by any other process as far as I can tell, and the only process using it is the SSIS task trying to write to it. If anyone has any ideas, then I would really really appreciate it Thanks Darrell

Dynamic Columns For Flat File Destination?
I have a database app, and we're implementing various data export features using SSIS. Basically, it's a couple of straight extracts of various recordsets/views, etc. to CSV (flat files) from our SQL Server 2005 database, so I'm creating an SSIS package for each of these datasets. So far, so good, but my problem comes here: My requirements call for users to select from a list of available columns the fields that they want to include in their exported file. Then, the package should run, but only output the columns specified by the user. Does anyone have any idea as to the best way to accomplish this? To recap, at design time, I know which columns the users will have to choose from, but at run time, they will specify the columns to export to the flat file. Any help or guidance here is greatly appreciated

Overwrite Flat File Destination Does Not Work
I have 3 packages that run consecutively in a main package. Each of these packages read data from a flat file and import it into the Database and then perform some updates and then I use a script component to write the data to a flat file destination and have overwrite flag on the flat file destination to false, however the flat file is not being appended to. All the 3 packages are set to wirte to the same flat file destination each package overwrites the content of the flat file created by the previous packages. I am wondering why the overwrite = False does not work on the flat file destination. Is there something else that I need to set or is this a defect? Any inputs will be much appreciated.

Dynamic Destination Flat File Loading

However, I want the text fields to be surrounded by double-quotes, like so: "data1", "data2", "data3" However, what I'm getting is: "data1 ","data2 ","data3 " I tried both specifying a "text qualifier" and when that didn't work, I removed the text qualifier and put quotes around the columns in my select statement. But that didn't work either. How do I get rid of the spaces? Thanks

Order Of Columns In Flat File Destination
I need to create a number of flat files, all with the same layout and sourced from the the same table, but with different criteria. The first set of (three) flat files file is created out of a simple Conditional Split transformation: If Source Table row number > 40,000 route to File 3; if row number > 20,000, route to file 2, otherwise route to file 1. This gives me 20,000 rows in files 1 & 2 and the remainder in file 3. I also want to create a fourth flat file by joining the Source Table with a sample table and selecting only those rows where the Customer numbers match. I'm currently doing this in two stages: An Execute SQL Task performs the join and inserts the selected rows into a Destination table (identical layout to source table), and then a simple data flow moves the rows from the Destination table into the fourth flat file. My problem is that the order of the columns in the first three flat files is different from the fourth file. I've tried creating the fourth flat file with a single data flow using a Merge Join transformation which didn't work because the tables aren't sorted in the correct sequence, and I couldn't get an OLE DB Command transformation to work either. I'm not sure why the column order of the 4th file should be different seeing as how its contents are sourced from the same Source table, but is there a cunning way of setting this up so that the columns end up in the same order?

Carriage Return In Header Of Flat File Destination
I'm trying to create a flat file that has a header like: /INST=-1 /DELIMITER="," /FIELDS=FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3,FIELD4 /LOCATION=100 data,data,data,data data,data,data,data where 'data' represents the data written out by the data flow process to the flat file destination. This actually turns out quite nice except that when I place the lines that start with '/' in the header box for the flat file destination the carriage return doesn't get written correctly after each line and I end up with an unrecognized character when I open the file in a simple app like notepad. I've tried using different encodings for the flat file connection, but to no avail. It is also interesting to note that when I close the package and reopen it the flat file destination editor UI also doesn't recognize the carriage returns and places a box in there place. Below is a copy of the the property as it is written in the package xml: <property id="92" name="Header" dataType="System.String" state="default" isArray="false" description="Specifies the text to write to the destination file before any data is written." typeConverter="" UITypeEditor="" containsID="false" expressionType="Notify">/INST=-1 /DELIMITER="," /FIELDS=FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3,FIELD4 /LOCATION=100</property> Any help is appreciated. -dotnetwiz

No Row Delimiter For Fixed Length Flat File Destination?
When I use SQL 2000 DTS Export to create a fixed length flat file, the data rows are delimited by carriage return-line. Which means that when I open the flat file in a text editor like UltraEdit or WordPad, the data rows are broken out nicely (row ends at the max row length position and new row starts at position 0). But when I use SSIS to create the file, the whole file is displayed as one line in WordPad. The data rows don't end at the max row lenght position in ultraEdit neither. From Flat File Connection Manager's Preview page, I can see the data rows are displayed properly. Now I wonder if the flat file destination is a true fixed length file.

Writing Byte Stream To Flat File Destination (ebcdic)
Hello all, I was trying to run a test to write a ebcdic file out with a comp - 3 number (testing this for other people) and have run into a problem writing the string out to the flat file destination. I have the following script component: Code Block ' Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services user script component ' This is your new script component in Microsoft Visual Basic .NET ' ScriptMain is the entrypoint class for script components Imports System Imports System.Data Imports System.Math Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper Public Class ScriptMain Inherits UserComponent Public Overrides Sub CreateNewOutputRows() ' ' Add rows by calling AddRow method on member variable called "Buffer" ' E.g., MyOutputBuffer.AddRow() if your output was named "My Output" ' Output0Buffer.AddRow() Dim myByteArray() As Byte = {&H12, &H34, &H56, &H7F} Output0Buffer.myByteStream = myByteArray Output0Buffer.myString = "ABCD" Output0Buffer.myString2 = "B123" myByteArray = Nothing End Sub End Class I have added myByteStream as a DT_BYTES length 4, myString as (DT_STR, 4, 37) and myString2 as (DT_STR, 4, 37) to the output 0 buffer. I then add a flat file destination with code set 37 (ebcdic us / canda) with the corresponding columns using fixed width. When i place a dataviewer on the line between the two the output looks as I expect ("0x12 0x34 0x56 0x7F", "ABCD", "B123"). However, when it gets to the flat file destination it errors out with the following: Code Block [Flat File Destination [54]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "myByteStream" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.". If i increase the size of the byte stream (say, to 50) the error goes away but I am left with the string "1234567F" instead of the appropriate hex values. Any clues on how to go about this? I obviously don't care if it gets transferred to "readable" text as this is supposed to be a binary stream, thus the no match in target page seems superfulous but is probably what is causing the problems. NOTE: this is relating to the following thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2300539&SiteID=1) in that I am trying to determine why these people are not seeing the "UseBinaryFormat" when importing an EBCDIC file (i see this fine when i use an ftp'd file, but it auto converts to ascii) with comp-3 values. I also see the "UseBinaryFormat" when I am importing a regular EBCDIC file which I create that has no import errors with zoned decimals.

Only Create Destination Flat File When There Are Rows Returned From Ole DB Source
Hi, I have a data task with the following requirements: 1) Run query against database to retrieve rows 2) Add header and footer row to the result set. The footer row must contain a count of the records. 3) Write the rows to a fixed width file if there were any data rows I have got to the point that I can create the file (using a set of tasks that includes derived columns, sorts, aggregation and merges). However the file is created regardless of whether there were data rows returned. I can't check the row count before proceeding as this isn't set until the data task ends. And if I try to split them into separate data tasks (so that I can access this variable and perform conditional execution) it becomes harder to access the original rows. Do you have any recommendations on the best way to achieve this? It all seems to be very complex and I'm starting to feel that it would be easier to do this outside of SSIS... Please help me to keep the faith! For those interested this is a slightly simplified version of what I have so far (all within a single data task): 1.Run dummy sql to create header row 2.Run main SQL to retrieve rows | | | 3.Multicast | | | | | 4.Create footer row by doing sum() in aggregate task | | | | 5.Merge body and footer | | 6. Merge header with body and footer | 7. Create fixed width file

SSIS Database Table To Flat File Destination With Column Headings
Hi, I have a simple enough task to complete that I can€™t seem to find the answer to. The task is this €“ Select table x from the database and write it to a flat file complete with that tables column headings. Now I€™ve managed to set up an ole db datasource and selected the table and I€™ve also linked it to the flat file output. So now I can generate a flat file from the database. However no column headings appear in the flat file. I can€™t seem to find anywhere (like a checkbox) that will also output the column headings to the flat file. Now I can add in Headings manually in the properties of the Flat File Destination object but the columns that appear in the flat file don€™t appear to be in the order that I requested them in the SQL. So the question is how do I automatically have the column headings appear for flat file output (ideally without me having to manually add them in). If it can€™t be done and I have to use a vb.net script instead then would anyone have an example script of how to do it? Thanks in advance for anyone who manages to answer this. Matt.

How To Append Data To A Destination Flat File Without Appending The Column Names Again
Hello guys, here is my issue. I created a ssis package which exports the data from oledb source to flat file (csv format). For this i have OLEDB source and Flat File as destination. I generate the file and filename dynamically with the column names in the first row. So if the dynamically generated file name already exists , then i want to append the data in the same existing file. But I dont want to append the column names again. I just want to append the rows to the existing rows. so lets say first time i generate a file called File1_3132008.csv. Col1, Col2 1,2 3,4 After some days if my ssis package generates the same file name i.e. File1_3132008.csv, this time i just want to append the rows to the existing file. So the file should look like this- Col1, Col21,23,45,67,8 But instead my file looks like this if i set Overwrite propery to false Col1,Col2 1,2 3,4 Col1,Col2 5,6 7,8 Can anyone help me to get the file as shown in the highlighed Any help would be appreciated . Thanks

Flat File Destination - File Name
Hello, I'm trying to send a file with FTP. In the Flat File connection manager I have to write the name of the file. Is there any way of deciding at runtime what the name of the file should be? Thank you.
