I have a dataflow task that reads a large amount of data from a textfile source. At the same time i load a mainbook which holds totals for each segment. In the end of that dataflow task i check for difference with a conditional split ([amountmainbook] - [amountsource]) > 1 which points to rowcount task that writes to a variable.

I have an SSIS Packaget that worked a month ago and when I ran it today it didn't work. It's failing in the ScriptComponent in a DataFlow that I created as a Destination. The only thing the script does is record any value for a particular column and on the PostExecute method, writes the last instance of that column to a user variable in the Package. Here's the code. There is a string variable that I use to hold the column's value for each row received.
Public Class ScriptMain
Inherits UserComponent
Dim s_remit_addr As String
Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer)
Me.s_remit_addr = Row.remitaddr.ToString()
End Sub
Public Overrides Sub PostExecute()
Dim variables As Variables
Variables.gsremitaddr = Me.s_remit_addr
MyBase.PostExecute()
End Sub
It will always bomb in PostExecute with the error that the variable User::gs_remit_addr is not the same type as the variable I'm using (s_remit_addr); HOWEVER, the user variable is of type String and it worked a month ago. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix it?
I allowed the SQL Destination Editor to design my table from Output of
a flat text file. Everything was varchar(50), but that was cool,
because I got to see the data in the new staging tables it created. I
went back and tweaked the data types and sizes for various columns to
be more appropriate through the table designer in SQL Server Management
Studio.
After doing so I get an error trying to edit the package, specifically
parts of the destination in the data flow. I get the error "An error
occurred due to no connection. A connection is required when requesting
metadata... blah blah". I pick the TEST CONNECTION in the Connection
Manager, and it works fine.
I am sure this is probably a basic issue of mechanics of use that I
don't yet know because I am completely new to SSIS. Can someone please
provide a hint, perhaps what I did wrong, and also, if you can see it
how to redeem the error. Thanks!
Hello All,
I am trying to convert an application created using DTS classes to SSIS object model. I have found following code in the application.
For x As Integer = 1 To mTask.Properties.Count
If mTask.Properties.Item(x).Name = "SourceConnectionID" Then
CnID = mTask.Properties.Item(x).Value
Exit For
End If
Next
For x As Integer = 1 To mPkg.DTSPackage.Connections.Count
If mPkg.DTSPackage.Connections.Item(x).ID = CnID Then
Return mPkg.DTSPackage.Connections.Item(x).Name
End If
Next
Return mTask.Properties.Item("SourceObjectName").Value
How can I retrieve or Set "SourceConnectinId", "SourceObjectName" of a data flow task in SSIS
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

I created a data flow with complaicated SQL. There is "type" field in the output column.
I would like to created excel files for each "type" value
E.g. If there is 3 "type" values (A, B, C), I would like to create 3 excel files to store type A, type B, and type C data respectively.
Since the number of possibe value of "type" field is various, how can I create the xls destination dynamic and move the correct type to the corresponding excel file?
The conditional split has fixed conditions, it is not suitable for by dynamic number of value
For Loop condition is not a good choice because I need to run the complicated SQL for many time.
Thanks.
I am using OLE DB Destination to write data to a SQL server database. However, nothing is written to the database though there is no error reported. See the following output:

I've create a package that currently uses 5 DataFlow tasks connected in series to get data from 5 different files and place that information into 5 different temp tables. Each Dataflow task contains only a OLE Source, a row count and a OLE destination. My question is - Is it normal practise to keep each of these separate, or should I put them all into a single DataFlow? The package should only continue if all five dataflow task complete successfully.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a data flow task that performs an "upsert" by directing successful rows from a Lookup to an OLE DB Command that updates rows and unsuccessful rows (Lookup error output) to an OLE DB Destination for insertion.
The problem is that execution hangs when both tasks update/insert into the same table (execution is still hung after 20 minutes). Modifying the OLE DB Destination to insert into a different table succeeds (execution completese within 2 minutes). Replacing the OLE DB Destination with a Row Count transformation also works.
Could this be due to a table-locking issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks

I have a Dataflow task with oledb source that is using SqlCommand to retrieve data and oledb destination to write the source output to a table. I have access to both the source and destination databases.
The problem is the destination component is not writing any rows to the destination table eventhough the Source component is returning rows (I can see them in the Preview and the source database table as well).
I'm using "Table/View Name from Variable" for destination.
The Package executes without any errors but there is no output.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I'm unable to figure out how to write a column header to my flat file destination. My source is a OLE DB SQL query and I need the column names as a header row in my text file destination. This seems easy but the closet I can find is hardcoding the column header row in the header property. Is this the only option?
Thanks
I am trying to export data from a query in SQL Server 2005 SSIS to a flat file destination. Everything works fine except the rows returned from my query are written to the flat file in one long string (i.e., without line breaks). I have tried appending a new line character to the rows returned from the query but that only throws an error when the package is executed. My rows returned from the query are 133 characters wide (essentially only one column per row) so I have set the properties accordingly for a fixed width file format with 133 character wide rows.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to correct this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Michael
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.
I am getting the following error running a data flow that splits the input data into multiple streams and writes the results of each stream to the same destination table:
"This operation conflicts with another pending operation on this transaction. The operation failed."
The flow starts with a single source table with one row per student and multiple scores for that student. It does a few lookups and then splits the stream (using Multicast) in several layers, ultimately generating 25 destinations (one for each score to be recorded), all going to the same table (like a fact table). This all is running under a transaction at the package level, which is distributed to a separate machine.
Apparently, I cannot have all of these streams inserting data into the same table at one time. I don't understand why not. In an OLTP system, many transactions are inserting records into the same table at once. Why can't I do that within the same transaction?
I suppose I can use a UnionAll to join them back together before writing to a single destination, but that seems like an unnecessary waste and clutters the flow. Can anyone offer a different solution or a reason why this fails in the first place?
Thanks in advance.
Dear Friends,
I need to execute a SQL query, inside a dataflow (not in controlFlow) and need the records returned to continue the dataflow... In my case I cant use lookup and OLE DB COmmand and nothing else...
I need to execute a query and need the records for dataflow... with OLE DB command I cant see the fields returned... :-(
How can I do it? Using a script? Can I use a Script Component? That receive 2 parameters for input and give me the fields returned from query as output?
Thanks!!
Hi,
I am having a Data flow task in For each loop which will gets 100 sourcetable names and 100 target table names...
am having a simpleData flow task which trasferes from OLEDBSource to OLEDBDestination.
I am repeating the Dataflow task which transfers from sourcetablename extracted from for loop to a destination table var.
The problem am gettting is for the first table it is able to transfer correcly because I did mapping for those tables at design time...but for the next coming sourcetable-desttable (which r having different no of cols,datatypes) its giving Validation failed...and...needs to refresh metadata....
is there any way to refresh the metadata of Data flow task (I set the property of OLEDBSource validate external meta to false then also same error is coming)
Thanks

I have XP Pro SP2 with MDAC 2.8.1022. It had a problem so I tried to reinstall MDAC and got a Fatal Setup Error. This setup does not support installing on this operating system. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 1177 and get the same error.
I thought of uninstalling/reinstalling SP2, but this is a 2 month old Dell Latitude 610 with factory installed XP. There is no Windows Service Pack 2 option listed in the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
There's some other strange things, so I wonder if they are related.
1) I have Paul set up as an administrator account. Some folders like MSSQL show that account with no permissions. I grant all the permissions to Paul for that folder. I come back later and the permissions are gone.
2) I deleted 20 files in Explorer, but 7 of them did not go away. I deleted those 7 again and they instatnly reappeared. I deleted those 7 again and then they finally went away.
3) I get a slow reaction time for things like Windows Explorer and opening and closing programs. This is suprising since it has 2 gig of RAM and 2.3 Gig processor. Could it be a memory handling problem that's causing OS problems. Probably, the memory didn't handle the OS installation well and the whole system is compromised now.
We're doing upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014. This is blocked due to RS is installed but not configured. Our desired action is to uninstall RS and proceed with the upgrade. But when setuparp.exe is raised, it does not list all the features on the 'Select Features' page. In fact, it only lists the last 2 shared features (SQ Client Connectivity SDK and Microsoft Sync Framework). However, all items appear to be listed on the 'Select Instance' page including RS. I've seen this issue on 2 of our SQL 2008 R2 Servers already.

I am running a number of SQL instances on my PC. Within the network, I have think server with various System Center components. For compatibility reasons, some features of System Center 2012 R2 had to be delegated to different SQL databases. My question is, because there is now more than one IP address on my system, and each instance of SQL is assigned to its own IP, is there a way to setup DNS and SQL so the namespace points to the desired IP address? For Instance:
MSSQL2008 instance is set to run on = 11.12.13.1
MSSQL2012 is set to run on = 11.12.13.2
IN DNS:
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.1
A Record: Mike-PC = 11.12.13.2
If I want to use MSSQL2008 by specifying Mike-PC as the DNS name, how would I do that with 100% accuracy? If there is another way to get the job done, I am more than willing to approach this differently.
Hey All:
I was totally confused.
When designing the SSIS dataflow part, firstly , i tried SQL Server Destination because my target server is a sql server.
then execute the task with failure.
Then i tried to use OLE DB DESTINATION instead of SQL Server Destination.
This Dataflow worked.
i can not figour out why.
By the way , i used the connection is OLE DB.And i choosed OLE DB source as the datasource cuz i can not find SQL server datasource.
Who can tell me some reasons for this?
Hi,
I'm wondering if it is possible to make an update of a specifics rows in a database table using dataflow tasks
thanks
When i use tablename or viewname variable in datasource component and data determination component ,
how can i manage the output columns and the input columns?
Yes,i can use default value init the columns ,but when variable value changed,error occurs.
Thanks a lot!
Hi Pals,
Here is my scenario in my ETL process, I have one DataFlow task.
Assuming that i have 10 clean records in my source database and i need to load all the 10 recs into my target table.
IS there any means of cross checking the no of rows from source table and number of rows loaded into my target table.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards.
Hi all,
In my DataFlow i set the "OLEDB Source" which is a table in my Extract Server and need to do some transformations and stage the table which will be a Dimension in the staging DB,
Q1-Now i need only 3 columns from the Source table, which transformation do i need to use to just extract the the 3 columns?
Q2- Two Columns of 3,which i will need to transform as it is-no changes at all and One of the column which has values like "BOSTON...."
(I have a vague idea of what i need to do,need something solid suggestions/advices to kickoff,plan is to use this city column with a Replace function (as one of the forum member's Spirit1 adviced..thanks..!!))to take out the dots and then need to write a condition if BOSTON then Assign Code "BOS" which will be City_Code and this "City_Code" will have to be looked in City_Dimension to get the "City_Key_Number" for "Boston" and lastly the City_Code and City Key Number both have to be transformed to the destination Dimension.
Any ideas /suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...!!

Greetings!
I am attempting to implement the following case statement BEFORE getting the data in to my destination table but I don't know how to create an expression for it.
In the mapping section of my OLE DB destination component I can only do mapping but I can't actually manipulate the data before it gets to the destination table.
What do I have to do to implement :
case
when SOPD.PRICE_TOP_NUMBER is NULL then -8
else SOPD.PRICE_TOP_NUMBER
end AS price_top_number,
before it goes to the destination column?!
Thanks for your help in advance.
Hello every one,
I have a simple dataflow from source to target.
My source is raw file and target is oracle table.
The problem I€™m facing in SSIS is its talking more than 10 minutes to load almost 30-40k records, I do not have any transformation activity this is just a simple dump from source to target.
Please do inform me of any setting to be talk care for fasten the process.
Thank you
I know the idea was to seperate workflow and dataflow, but I have come across a scenario where it would be useful for a branch of a dataflow to wait until another branch has finished.
I have some transactional data which records events for the start and end of a session. I want to build a list of unique sessions with the start and end date. I currently have the list of events sorted by time, followed by a conditional split for the start and end events. I can then insert all of the start events and would like to wait until all of the starts are inserted before updating them with their relevant end times.
Is this achievable?
Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to be able to set precendence across multiple branches of a data flow?
Does anyone have a better solution?
I know this is the wrong forum, but is there a way to model this against the transactional data in SSAS, I will move this question to the SSAS forum if anyone can think this would work!

This error seem to be very silly.did anyone come across this error.
I have been transferring data from textfile to a table using oledb destination.
The number of records in the text file are 2,091,650
Its was running just fine couple of days ago when the incoming data was little small then this...(arround 300,000).Now it seem to have a problem.
Here is the flow
1.File System task ->I copy the file to different location
2.Execute sql task->truncate tables
3.DataFlow task->I check for only the error files in this data flow.and all valid rows i transfer to a different text file.
4.Dataflow->filesource i connect to new text file created earlier.Here i convert fields to repective datatype and i insert if new or update record.
I dont know whats going on...
When i run my package it runs through the first three perfectly fine.When it comes to fourth step it sits there.....it dosent go to the tasks within this dataflow at all...and begining i have flat files source...
What could be the reason...
when i look at progress tab...i was able to look at the progress of other tasks but when it comes to this task it shows start>>>>>time and it sits there...
I am transfering data from a textfile to sql server.I use a data flow task for trasfering my text files.
Here is what i do.
1.Add text file source
What i want to achieve here is if the text file countains the column name in the first row i should delete them and if it does not contain column name in the first row just transfer it.
how can this be achieved???
2.add one more column to my text file which should contain the status(insert or update).
how can this be done??
3.before transfering data ot destination i want to know if the record exists if exists i just want to update it instead of insert.and if new record i want to insert it .and the status in the above new column need to change.
please help...
Hi all,
I have encountered a SQL 2005 deadlock issue while executing dataflow in a SSIS package. The deadlock happens when I have indexed two columns. If I don't have index, deadlock does not happen.
Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Transaction (Process ID 67) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.".
The above causes the rest of the dataflow execution to be terminated.
What my dataflow does is to extract data from 14 flat files and then insert the records into a single table (no primary key, but with two columns indexed).
Can anyone please advise how I can avoid deadlock with indexes in a table?
Thank you and much appreciated!
