Flat File Source With Ragged Right Problems

Aug 27, 2007

For some reason, when I try to use the Flat File Source and set the record type to Ragged Right it does not seem to recognize 'short' records. It seems to be confused by the CRLF set delimiters and not recognize these in 'some' records. The input does not seem consistent. What am I missing?

SSIS Flat File Loading - Data Type Conversion

Apr 24, 2007

It seems I can do the type conversion in two place:

1. The advanced editor for flat file source => Input and output roperties. And I can set the output columns data type properties there.

2. Using a Data conversion box in Data flow transformation.

Any difference between these two? Which one should be used?

Loading Fact Using Dimension W/ Ragged Hierarchy (geography)

Jul 27, 2007

I'm loading a fact table that has several geographic attributes - some are at the state level, some are at the county level, and then some are drilled farther in that that. I understand the basic concept of the dimension with the ragged hierarchy, but unsure of how to load to the fact table using lookups based on these geographic units. For example, if my geographic dimension contains 200 records for the state of Wyoming, basically a record for each fine-grain place (i.e. city/town), then how do I go about doing a county lookup. Wyoming only has 23 counties, but because of the repetitive nature of the dimension attributes that are not at the finest grain, I'll get more records in the lookup than I need. This activity repeats of course while I move up the geographic scale to state, then country. How do I configure/fill my dimension to handle these differing scales of data?

Merging, And Loading Dynamic Flat File.

Mar 14, 2007

I have number of csv files in a folder, all of them with same columns, need to be merged into one table and imported to sql server.

-The first row of the csv file is a header.
-The csv files are updated everyday
-The destination table is replace by new table with new info in the csv.
-The new csv files can be created and old csv files may no longer exist, but we are only interested in information contain in current csv files in the folder.
-I need SSIS to combine all the csv files in the folder and merge into one table.
-Other issue is that the field names may change in csv, so can the SSIS package recognize the change in field name and made necessary change in destination table as well.

Any insight on this issues will be greatly appreciated?

Dynamic Destination Flat File Loading

Jan 4, 2006

Here's what I want to do -

Dynamically load a flat file from a dynamic source table-

The source table metadata is known via the SYSOBJECTS and SYSCOLUMNS tables- I can pull the column names, type and lengths from these tables based on the table name. (my goal is pretty simple- pull data from a table in our database, and save it down to a flat file)

Would this be enough to dynamically create the destination flat file?  If so, how do I do it?

Thanks

Loading Flat File - Row Delimiter Not Recognized

May 2, 2007

I have a text file that loads just fine with DTS 2000, but in SSIS it does not seems to recognize the row delimiter. For example, most rows in the text file have 10 columns, but some have 8 columns. For those with 8 columns, the SSIS is adding the data from next row, not padding the columns with nulls. Please help...



Thanks in advance.

Rows Unexpectedly Skipped While Loading Flat File

Nov 17, 2007

I tried to load a fixed width flat file with around 300,000 rows. However, only the first 8xxxx rows were loaded to the destineation table and the rest row were loading blank records. There was no error message showing during package execution. I've tried to split the file in half and the result was the same. So it wasn't the data file problem.

Would there be any buffering issue I need to cater for inside the package? Thanks!

Loading Flat File With Embedded Column, Text Delimiters And Newline

Jun 14, 2007

I have the misfortune of converting a DTS package to SSIS that loads a flat file that has a text fields that can contain embedded text delimiters ("), column delimiters (,) and even new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) in it. A sample line from the file is posted here, remember this is just one line though it shows as three lines, since the third field has embedded new line in it:



4,"Sam","EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"",
Internet Sales / HELP
8005551212",100



If you open in excel it handles it perfectly showing four fields, as below, and this is what I want ( I cannot get it aligned right in the posting, just save the above line in *.csv and open to see what it should be):



4 Sam "EVP; MARKETING PRODUCT MANAGER ""Level I"", 100
Internet Sales / HELP
8005551212"



Now, SSIS errors on the embedded text delimiters and breaks into two or three lines based on which option I chose. I have tried few options based on postings in the forum:
a). Using undouble and undoubleout: Does not work when there are embedded column delimiters (,) in the text field
b). Modified undouble script posted by lvovg at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1718225&SiteID=1. Handles the embedded column delimiters (,) perfectly, but the embedded new lines (CR+LF i.e.,hex 0D 0A) are breaking it.
Since, I am using the ragged right format to read from the file then use transform script on the line by lvovg, the line is already broken by the ragged right format at the embedded new lines, hence does not work.



Right now I am stuck. Can someone please help (anyone from MS) ? I am already baffled at the amount of coding required to convert a very basic ( and working ) flat file load DTS package to SSIS. I am willing to persist bit longer to convert this to SSIS, before I give up and stick with DTS and wait for a fix / workaround.




Thanks.

Flat File Loading Problem -&&> Messed Up Delimiters And Error Logging Issue

Aug 31, 2007

Hey Everyone,

I have a Data-Flow task embedded in a Sequence Container (does not fail component on error) on the Control Flow panel of the SSIS designer. This data flow task contains a connection to a Flat File Source -> A Data Transformation -> Into an OLE Db Destination.

The problem is that the Flat File isn't always delimited properly -> the client cannot be relied on to do this.

My question is when the delimiters are messed up, how can I capture the offending error row(s) from the Flat File Source?

What I've tried:
1) Set every column in the source flat file on error to: Redirect Row
2) Added a Script Transformation to pull the description and the record id out of the offending row
3) Added an Error file flat file destination to the end of the flow.

The package always fails on the Flat File Source and never Redirects the offending Row to the error output - I never see my onError Script Transformation go Green, Red, or Yellow - SSIS doesn't let it get there.

I'm really new to SSIS so sorry if this is a super basic question.

Here is the Error Text:

[Source - InventTable_csv [1]] Error: The column delimiter for column "RECID" was not found.
[Source - InventTable_csv [1]] Error: An error occurred while processing file "C:------InventTable.csv" on data row 15228.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "Source - InventTable_csv" (1) returned error code 0xC0202092. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: Thread "SourceThread0" has exited with error code 0xC0047038.

I do have the MaxErrorCount set to 1 on the Data Flow Task but still think I should see my script task execute and a log entry be generated.

Any Ideas?

Matt

SQL Server 2012 :: Loading And Reformatting Text File Data Into Table

May 29, 2015

I am looking for a way to convert the following format into a sql table. The format it is Bib Tex.

Essentially a new row in the table would be for each entry, denoted by an @ logo and each column is denoted by an =, as you can see from the example data no one contains all the possible columns and some fields can be over two lines long.

To load this I was considering loading it into a table as each line being a row. Adding a row number, then a column counting the @ signs in order and essentially grouping each record, then for each group running through and looking for the column keywords 'author' , 'title' etc then splitting the data out into those constituent parts using substring and charindex.

@Book{hicks2001,
author = "von Hicks, III, Michael",
title = "Design of a Carbon Fiber Composite Grid Structure for the GLAST
Spacecraft Using a Novel Manufacturing Technique",
publisher = "Stanford Press",
year = 2001,

Update Server Table Based On Flat File Data

Feb 13, 2014

I have a table dbo.Sales that contains all sales records. There is a column in that table called ItemNumber that I'd like to match with ItemNumber in a flat file and update the ItemCost based on the ItemCost column in the flat file.

So while there will be many sales records for each ItemNumber, I need to loop through and update the ItemCost in that sales record based on the corresponding ItemCost in the flat file. Does this make sense? I really need this for court and I can't figure out how to do it. I took a SQL course about 7 years ago but have forgotten everything.

Database Name: BTData
Database Table: dbo.Sales
Database Columns: ItemNumber (match on this), ItemCost (update this)

FlatFile Name: InventoryCosts.txt
FlatFile Columns: ItemNumber, ItemCost

There will be many sales records for each ItemNumber in the database table. I need to update each one with correct cost based on the item number and cost mapping from flat file.

Unable To Edit Pre-defined Flat File Connection Manager Properties In The Flat File Destination Editor

Aug 24, 2007

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

May 29, 2006

I€™m using the ImportExport wizard to export the top 5 lines from a MS Sql table into a fixed format (€śragged€?) file. But I want the first record to contain the column names of the exported fields so I selected the €śColumn names in the first data row€? option of the €śChoose a Destination€? box. When I run the Package I get:

When I de-select the €śColumn names€? option, the package works fine. Other than manually, how can I et the column names in output file?

TIA,

SSIS - Data Flow To Flat File - Insert At Start Of File

Oct 24, 2007

Hi all,

In a foreachloop, I am inserting records into a flat file which is working fine. But the thing is that as the file grows, it takes longer for it to locate the EOF(End of File) of the flat file so as to insert the records.

I have around 70-100 lines written to the file at each loop and there are more than 20k records to be looped. wihich means that at the end I should be having 1400k - 20000k line in the text file.


One solution would be to insert the records at the start of the file itself so that it does not has to lookup the EOF each time before writting.

Another would be to generate separate files and then merge it.

Any idea how can this can be done?


Beside this I have to zip the file and then SFTP to a given address.

Any suggestion or help would be welcome.

Flat File Connection Manager Throws Error When A Column Gets Added To The Flat File

Dec 27, 2006

Hi,

I have a situation where a tab limited text file is used to populate a sql server table.

The tab limited text file comes from a third party vendor. There are fixed number of columns we need to export to the sql server table. However the third party may add colums in the text file. Whenenver the text file has an added column (which we dont need to import) the build fails since the flat file connection manager does not create the metadata for it again. The problem goes away  where I press the button "Reset Columns" since it builds the metadata then. Since we need to build the tables everyday we cannot automate it using SSIS because the metadata does not change automatically. Is there a way out in SSIS?
