Integration Services :: Import Files With Different Header Structures?
Jun 13, 2015
I currently have a directory of csv import files, all of which have the same data structure but different header information.
For example:
File 1
This is header info.
This is header info.
This is header info.
ID,Name, DOB, etc…
File 2
This is header info.
This is header info.
This is header info.
This is header info.
This is header info.
ID,Name, DOB, etc…
The data starts with the column title row, ie ID,Name, DOB.What I need to happen is process that removes all the header rows up to the title row so that all import file structures will be the same.
I was thinking of using a ForEach Loop container that will run a script on each of the files to remove the header.

In SSIS it is very easy to import any kind of file using the Import/Export Wizard but programming in SSIS package to do the same thing is almost impossible. It can even be done by using OPENROWSET in SQL management studio but then there are problems with Excel data types and etc..
I have done my research and so far I couldnt figure it out, I know poeple have done it but I am new to SSIS and I need clearer instructions. This is my situation..
I have created a package that checks an then creates a database and then creates a table based on the Excel/csv/sdf/dbf etc file. (The structure is captured in another database using a front end app). I am stuck at importing the file into the table that I just created. I cannot use the design time tools as the files coming in will be in different formats and structures. I have found different examples of desinging the package programatically but I dont know how to:
1. Convert C# to VB. Net (Actually Im looking for the example of the code in VB.net rather than converting it)
2. Add the code in my design (Most of the code that I have seen looks like they are creating the package from scratch).
I am following this but I keep getting stuck.. (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=749383&SiteID=1)
Any help will be appreciated..
I have used these key words for my research so far: copy data from excel to SQL, vb .net ssis custom column maping, cutsom transform, custom data flow , build column mapping programatically, script component custom source destination transform mapping
Hope answer to this thread will help many people (like me) who are in the learning process..

Client uses an Amazon S3 bucket which they load flats files to . They also expect files to be delivered there to.So at the minute I have an SSIS package (SQL2012 ) which I use to generate some files but then have to manually import the files to the S3 bucket as well as export others.Now Mike Yin ( For SQL2008R2 ) mentioned that you need to obtain PostgreSQL ODBC driver so that you can use the .Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider for ADO.NET Source component to connect to the Amazon cloud storage. After that, you can use a OLE DB Destination to load the data to SQL Server database.
Installed both 32 and 64bit 9.03. New connection Manager ADO.NET - New then drop the provider down to ODBC.Dataprovider.Then what ? Do I put the S3 bucket address within the use connection string ? Is there and example ? Why do I need the PostgreSQL ODBC as Im not connecting to a database just a S3 Bucket?

I have to load on SS2012 hundeds of excel files produced by an application over the last five years, during time few columns have been added to the initial set.I created on SS2012 a table to match with the full set of columns and want to load all the files inside the table leaving the missing cells to NULL. I think SSIS can do the job but every trial failed do far.

I have a requirement where in i have around 15 different flat files , filenames are fixed but folder path can be changed(i think i should use a variable for folder path). These 15 files data should go to their respective tables in the database.
Whether I need to create separate data flow task for each file or separate package? In addition to these, example : while importing product data into product table, if product ID already exists, we need to ignore it and upload only the new records.

I have been struggling to get this right in Integration Services, Would really appreciate the help.
Basically I have a file with fixed length columns that I would like to import into my database using Integration Services, the file looks something like this
AN_HeaderRecord0001Testfile.txt
MyName MySurname 0127721506
MyName2 MySurname2 0127722322
FooterRec0000000004_02
What I need to find out is how do I import the data, the name and surname and telephone no, but skip the header and footer records. Also I need to be able to use the header and footer data for later use.
Any ideas ?

I am trying to import an xlsx spreadsheet into a sql 2008 r2 database using the SSMS Import Wizard. When pointed to the spreadsheet ("choose a data source") the Import Wizard returns this error:
"The operation could not be completed" The Microsoft ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine (System.Data)
How can I address that issue? (e.g. Where is this provider and how do I install it?)

I have a file with a header row which contains the date of the file and under that all the columns without a header.
In SSIS package I skip row and manually name the different columns.
However, I want to use the column in the header row to store the date value in an SSIS variable and use that variable to write it to our staging table. How can I do this when I skip the header row?

Please help! I am trying to import data from an ODBC data source to a SQL Server database using Integration Services. I am new to SQL Server 2005 but all was working happily on 2000 using DTS.
I am trying to follow the tutorials using a data flow task but cannot get my ODBC database into the connection managers tab, because OLE DB for ODBC isn't one of the options! Am I missing something? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I am struggling to come to terms with 2005 and cannot migrate the 2000 DTS packages
Many thanks

I'm using - Destination - Oracle driver - oraOLEDB.Oracle.1 (native ole dboracle provider for ole db)
Source - SQL driver - microsoft ole db prover for sql server. I want to import data from sql server to oracle. Challenge is, I have 1 million records on oracle. I have 100 records on sql server (these 100 records count will change daily). So, I thought of using 'lookup' task looking taking record from ms sql and fetch corresponding record from oracle. But when I use lookup, all records from oracle are loading into cache, which is taking approx 3 hrs.

I was wondering if the only way to import MSaccess files into sql6.5 is to dump the MSaccess file into a text file and then recreate the structure in SQL6.5 and then use the bcp command to copy the data into the new structure.
Is there an easier way?
thanks in advance.

We run std 2008 r2, I need to recreate flat files from their varbinary(max) equivalents in our db. I have a mix of excel, pdf, word etc to recreate. Will ssis be a good tool for doing this? I'm wondering what transform(s) would be involved.
Perhaps I need to cast to varchar 1st and then land the data but if I recall correctly there is a maximum record length in ssis destination flat file rows. And I'm thinking I would have to map the varbinary (or cast equiv) to a row in the destination once for each file created.

I have several regular reports that are produced by different offices that I need to import the data from. The challenge lies in the fact that the reports are not simply columns of data. Some cells are labels, others contain data, and some contain both. Also, the formatting of the reports isn't strictly uniform from office to office. Is it possible to read this kind of sheet? Excel data sources seem to just define everything in a column as data, and that doesn't work for me. Is there an alternative, or perhaps a more manual way of defining what cells contain data?

I have a requirement to move files from HOLD folder to input folder. In HOLD folder I receive multiple files starting with af, ai, ar i.e. af*.txt , ai*.txt, ar*.txt . I need to move one file at a time to input folder as each file is to be loaded into database before next file is processed. In all the files the SSIS has to look at ai*.txt files first followed by af*.txt and lastly ar*.txt. If there are multiple files of same group the file with oldest date has to be moved first. How do I achieve this?
