Flat File Source Error Output Conversion Error With UNICODE Files
May 14, 2008
i have a weird situation here, i tried to load a unicode file with a flat file source component, one of file lines has data like any other line but also contains the character "ÿ" which i can't see or find it and replace it with empty string, the source component parses the line correctly but if there is a data type error in this line, the error output for that line gives me this character "ÿ" instead of the original line.
simply, the error output of flat file source component fail to get the original line when the line contains hidden "ÿ".
i hope you can help me with issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I m using SSIS and i am transfering the data from Flat File Source to the OLE DB destination File. The source file contain some corrupt data which i am transfering to the other Flat file destination file.
Debugging is succesful but i am not getting any error output in the Flat file destination file.
i had done exactly which is written in the msdn tutorial of SSIS.
Plz tell me why i am not getting the error output in the destination flat file?
thanx

i am importing a file using the Flat File Data Flow Source, it works fine but seems to miss data records every so often (not entire rows, just records inside the rows). The file has 149 columns and usually has around 15,000 to 20,000 rows.
For example, this is a sample of the input:
AccountNum, CancelDate, CancelReason
123~2/2/08~ADC
345~2/1/08~CCC
789~2/5/08~CRC
After the Flat File Source imports the file I get back:
AccountNum, CancelDate, CancelReason
123~2/2/08~ADC
345~2/1/08~
789~2/5/08~CRC
has anyone ever seen this or heard of this happening. It is usually the same column that misses records and this only happens when it runs from a job (in debug mode it always works fine).

Hi
I have a CSV file which sometimes contains the odd CSV error, for this reason the odd row throws an error.
If I have a clean CSV file my SSIS package works great, but I am having problems getting the package to continue past the rows in the file that throw errors.
How do I :
Get the package to continue on error, I have tried playing with the Propagate Variable with no joy
Add an Error event, which will capture the error and log it to a SQL table or File Destination?
Any help will be great!
Thank you

I cannot seem to get my flat file to write columns in error when inserting into a SQL table. I have tried a few examples from MS and did not get anything written to my flat file output. I have set the Source Error Output on this flat file and it uses a script task to created the error description and then write it to a Flat File Destination.
I am new to SSIS and have not had any formal training on it. However, I am very familiar with VS.Net/c# and SQL 2000 DTS - I need to get this working ASAP as there are 45 total flat files that need to be processed. Once I have this solved for one, the rest will follow suit.
If more details would help, I can provide them.
Kind Regards,
Ron

Hello All,
I have come across this issue with the Flat File Source when the delimiter is set to a comma.
"""KAILUA KONA,HI""","CA",
In the data snippet above and with the setting of using a comma as a column delimiter
and a " as the text qualifer.
the data will be parsed in this fashion:
"""KAILUA as a column:
HI""" as a column
CA as column
when it should be
"KAILUA,HI" as a column
CA as column.
Is there a way to let the Flat File Source to let it know not to parse the data in multiple quotes ?
Thank you

Hi Friend,
I am stuck with a problem and need your help. As we know, all columns that go to error flow of flat file source connection are displayed as a single column e.g. FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn, but my requirement is to extract the first column value from this FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn, my data is dilimeted by "|" pipe operator. I have created a script component to deal with this. However if we take FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn column as input column in script component, it comes as BLOB data. I wrote below code in transformation script component to extract BLOB data from column in string form and then do a Left function search to take first column out.
When I am running this script component I am getting '??????????' question marks as a result in Row.Pname.
Can anyone please help me understand if I am doing anything wrong in this script or suggest a better way to take the data out?
I appreciate your help.
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
'
'
Dim Error_Data As String
Dim Column_1 As String
Dim Len As Integer
Dim Buffer As Byte()
Buffer = Row.FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn.GetBlobData(0, CInt(Row.FlatFileSourceErrorOutputColumn.Length))
Error_Data = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(Buffer)
Len = Error_Data.IndexOf("|")
Column_1 = Left(Error_Data, Len - 1)
Row.Pname = Column_1
End Sub
Thanks,
Kul

I'm getting a very strange potential loss of data error on my flat file source in the data flow. The flat file is fixed width and the column in question is defined as numeric [DT_NUMERIC]. The transform runs great if this column IS NOT A ZERO. As soon as a zero value is found, I get the error. It errors on the flat file source, so I haven't been able to use a data viewer to see what's going on.
Please Help!?
Thanks,

I am moving data from a flat file source to a SQL Server table. But I want to add a columm that IS in the destination table, but NOT in the source file. Say the table column name is XXX in destination table, and there will be a global variable called @[User::XXX] that remains constant throughout the package. I would like to put the variable value into the destination column, even though the source file does not contain the field. Is there an easy way to do this?

Hello everyone,
I have a package that extracts data from a Flat File. If any errors or truncation occur during the extraction of the input data, the package should fail. All fields that have erroneous values should be reported in the log file.
My Solution:
- I have created a Data Flow Task that contains a Flat File Source Adapter and a dummy destination.
- I have left the default "Error Output" configuration of the Flat File Source adapter, namely if a truncation or an error occur for a certain column, then the reaction is "Fail Component".
Problem:
This configuration gives me only the first erroneous column in the row being processed.
Question:
Is it possible to make the Flat File Source adapter continue parsing the current row before it fails? This way, I would be able to get all the erroneous columns in the row in one shot.
Thanks in advance...

I am having a strange problem with the Copy Database Wizard. For certain databases, the copy database wizard reports an error, and the Windows event log has the following entry:

To be able to reproduce the error in the simplest configuration, I just installed the pubs and Northwind sample databases for SQL 2000 (as downloadable from Microsoft) using the Attach method (instead of running the scripts) on the SQL 2000 machine. I started Management Studio 2005 SP2 on the other machine, connected to the SQL 2000 server, and from the right click menu, used Tasks > Copy Database Wizard, using the SMO option, copy everything (including stored procedures and user error messages), and chose execute immediately. For the Northwind database, everything worked fine, however for the pubs database, the error message above was returned.
I have no idea how to move forward, a client of mine is having the same problem, but I could not get any closer to the problem.
Thanks for any help,
David

However when it gets the OLE DB Connection Destination the data has changed to 70000896. That€™s before its even Written to the database.
The only clue that something is wrong in the middle is the great Data viewer shows the number as 7.000009E+07
Other clues looking at the data it appears there is a rounding error on only the number that dont end in 00

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?

I am transferring data from an OLEDB source to a Flat File Destination and I want the column width for all of the output columns to 30 (max width amongst the columns selected), but that is not refected in the Fixed Width Flat File that got created. The outputcolumnwidth seems to be the same as the inputcolumnwidth. Is there any other setting that I am possibly missing or is this a possible defect?
Any inputs will be appreciated.

What is the purpose of the error output for an OLE DB Source component. Any sql that would cause an error such as converting a character to a number or division by zero causes the OLE DB Source component to fail regardless of the settings for the error output. Works perfect for OLE DB Destination but I cannot come up with any scenario where it would work for the OLE DB Source component.
Thanks in advance,
Brad

In the Input and Output Properties tab under Advance Editor for OLE DB Source, I cannot remove columns. I copied this Source from a standard template and have made the normal changes to make it work. However I keep getting this error...Error: 0xC020837B at Load Server Security, OLE DB Source [1]: The output column "DBName" (1632) on the error output has no corresponding output column on the non-error output.Error: 0xC004706B at Load Server Security, DTS.Pipeline: "component "OLE DB Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".DBName of course is one of the columns that no longer exist, but I can't remove. Whenever I try to remove one of the columns, I get this error...Error at Load Server Security [OLE DB Source[1]]: The column cannot be deleted. The component does not allow columns to be deleted from this input or output. Is there anything that I can do to remove the columns? Is there just a simple setting that I can change to make this work?

Hello,
Does anybody know, how to load unicode text file using Flat File Source Task?
I set "unicode" option on the general tab of the Flat File Conn. Manager.
(my text file is comma delimited, the default row delimiter is {CR}{LF})
but on the Column tab I see only one row in one column (I have several rows and columns in the flat file).
How to see them all ?
I appreciate any help !

This might be an ignorant question, but I can't figure this out.
What is the purpose of the Error output data flow from the OLEDB Source? I am trying to understand an example of what kind of "error" would cause a row to go down this path, and I can't come up with one.
Does anyone have a good example of how this could be useful?

For the Custome source Component ErrorOutput, should I go for asynchronous / synchronous Output.
If i go for synchronous output
// Create the error output.
IDTSOutput90 errorOutput = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New();
errorOutput.IsErrorOut = true;
errorOutput.Name = "ErrorOutput";
errorOutput.SynchronousInputID = What Id is required here;
errorOutput.ExclusionGroup = 1;
Is it the IDTSOutput90 InPut.ID / OutPut.ID which should be assigned.
Thanks Regards

I've read about the XML Source sometimes setting error output columns to DT_WSTR(255), but mine is now setting them to DT_NTEXT.
Anyone have any suggestions short of an XML editor? I'm concerned that I might do something to "refresh" the columns and cause the problem again.

This seems like a simple task that just doesn't work. I have an XML source, and on that source, I have the Error Output configured such that the Trunctations are set to "Ignore failure", and the Errors are all set to "Redirect Row". They are then being redirected to a Row Count transformation.
To set up a test for this, I have an integer type (DT_I4 specifically) that I am populating with an alpha-numeric value. For example:
<BatchID>118a</BatchID>
However, this column prevents my XML source from loading at all, and throws the following error:
The component "XML_SRC - File" (46) failed attempting to write data to output column "BatchID" (2030) on output "Payment Error Output" (115). Input string was not in a correct format.
I checked BatchID (2030) throught the advanced properties of the XML Source, and this is defined as a Unicode text stream [DT_NTEXT] field, so I don't see why there would be a problem.
Is this a bug, or am I overlooking something?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all,
I saw a couple of other posts here on this topic, but none quite got to my issue.
I'm trying to add error output to a custom source component (not a script, a custom component). The samples all seem to deal with transform components, and my issues seem to be unique to source components.
I have the following code related to error handling ...
Public Overloads Overrides Sub ProvideComponentProperties()
...
Dim output As IDTSOutput90 = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New
output.Name = OUTPUTCOLUMNNAME
output.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.IsUsed = True
ComponentMetaData.UsesDispositions = True
output.ErrorRowDisposition = DTSRowDisposition.RD_NotUsed
output.ErrorOrTruncationOperation = "Something got truncated or blew up"
Dim errorOutput As IDTSOutput90 = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New
errorOutput.Name = ERRORCOLUMNNAME
errorOutput.IsErrorOut = True
...
End Sub
Public Overloads Overrides Sub ReinitializeMetaData()
Dim output As IDTSOutput90 = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection(OUTPUTCOLUMNNAME)
Dim outColumn As IDTSOutputColumn90 = output.OutputColumnCollection.New
outColumn.Name = strName
outColumn.SetDataTypeProperties(DataType.DT_I4, 0, 0, 0, 0)
Dim metadataColumn As IDTSExternalMetadataColumn90 = output.ExternalMetadataColumnCollection.New
metadataColumn.Name = outColumn.Name
metadataColumn.DataType = outColumn.DataType
metadataColumn.Precision = outColumn.Precision
metadataColumn.Length = outColumn.Length
metadataColumn.Scale = outColumn.Scale
metadataColumn.CodePage = outColumn.CodePage
outColumn.ExternalMetadataColumnID = metadataColumn.ID
outColumn.ErrorRowDisposition = DTSRowDisposition.RD_NotUsed
outColumn.ErrorOrTruncationOperation = "Something Truncated!"
outColumn.TruncationRowDisposition = DTSRowDisposition.RD_NotUsed
Dim errorOutput As IDTSOutput90 = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection(ERRORCOLUMNNAME)
Dim errorColumn As IDTSOutputColumn90 = errorOutput.OutputColumnCollection.New
errorColumn.Name = outColumn.Name
errorColumn.SetDataTypeProperties(DataType.DT_I4, 0, 0, 0, 0)
...
End Sub
The confusions I have are:
a) the stock advanced properties editor (I haven't provided a custom one) doesn't seem to "realize" that I have an error output, so provides no method to configure. I am believing it would need to know which Output columns can have their error/truncation redirected. I'd have thought setting ErrorRowDisposition on my output column would have been enough to trigger this ??
b) since I don't have any means of configuring, not surprisingly, when I try to connect my error output, designer complains that, "Ths error output cannot receive any error rows. This occurs for several reasons: Input columns or output columns are not yet defined. Error handling is not supported by the component. Error handling is not configured for the component."
c) UsesDispoistions would seem to be appropriate only for a transform component
Thanks for reading, and appreciate any help or pointers.

I'm trying to use Bulk insert for the first time and getting the following error. I think it might have something to do with my Format File and from the error msg there's a conversion error for the first column. In my database the Field is nvarchar(6) so my best guess is to use SQLNChar for the first column. I've checked the end of each line is CR LF therefore the is correct for line 7 right?

For packages that I have created to read Oracle 10g tables, that work fine with debugging in 32-bit mode, I get an error message on all string fields when I try to run in 64-bit mode. An example error message is:[OLE DB Source [1]] Error: Column "ACCT_UNIT" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.Another interesting warning included is:[OLE DB Source [1]] Warning: The external columns for component "OLE DB Source" (1) are out of synchronization with the data source columns. The external column "ACCT_UNIT" needs to be updated.I cannot even try to convert this data with a Data Conversion item because the (red) error is on the OLE DB Source item and stops there. It doesn't matter what the destination is or even if there is a destination in the package yet.I'm using Oracle Provider for OLE DB, Oracle Client version 10.203 for 32-bit and Oracle Client 10.204 for 64-bit.Oracle is 10g on a UNIX 64-bit server and the data is not unicode.I'm using SQL Server Enterprise 2008 (10.0.1600) on Windows Server 2008 Standard SP1 on a 64-bit server.The packages work fine in 32-bit mode and the data is not unicode data. When I change Run64BitRuntime to True in the Debugging Property Page, I get the error on the OLE DB Source item. I also get the error when I schedule a package to run using the SQL Server Agent.

Here's a really annoying problem. Let's say you have a text file with 2 million rows.Delimiters all look good and rows are previewed well but the file has a missing row at say lin 1234567 - way deep in the file. When SSIS encounters the blank row, an error is raised and processing on the file STOPS! I verified this in by checking the SSIS log and have even developed an error routine to notify me via email when the error occurs (really cool if I do say so myself ). The main problem still remains - how to resume processing from the point of failure in the file? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I have a data source that I access via odbc in a DataReader Source component in SSIS. I can access the data fine. However, I am having problems with certain fields that are numeric (specifically home prices ranging from 100,000.00 to 99,999,999.00). In the advanced editor for my data reader source under the input and output properties tab, in data reader output under the external columns and output columns, these fields for some reason default to numeric data types with a precision of 4 and a scale of zero, not large enough to hold the data that is coming in. This causes errors that make the data come in as null (after i specify to ignore the errors).
I can change the precision and scale to 18 and 4 in the external columns, but when I try to change the datatype, precision or scale in the output columns I get the following message:
Property Value is not valid.
The details are:
Error at Import DataReader Source: The data type of output columns on the component "DataReader Source" cannot be changed.
Error at DataReader Source: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xC020837D)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.DataReaderSourceAdapter.SetOutputColumnDataTypeProperties(Int32 iOutputID, Int32 iOutputColumnID, DataType eDataType, Int32 iLength, Int32 iPrecision, Int32 iScale, Int32 iCodePage)

Any help is greatly appreciated.
