Integration Services :: Teradata Attunity Connector In SSIS For Unicode Characters
Nov 14, 2015
I'm new to SSIS, using Terdata Attunity connector for integrating data flow between Terdata (source) to SQL Server (Target).
SSIS package is getting failed because of length mismatch between source and Target for Unicode character datatype columns. Reason is Teradata TPT always occupies 3 times more length of actual defined in DB.
Even I tried by increasing length of attribute in Source but it didn't work.
I know by converting datatype from unicode -> Latin would work, but i don't want to do conversion since loosing some characters.

Error is
[Teradata Source [263]] Error: TPT Export error encountered during Initiate phase. TPTAPI_INFRA: API306: Error: Conflicting data length for column(5) - Source column's data length is (200) Target column's data length is (300).

I have an SSIS package that successfully runs a Teradata connection query. However, when I schedule the job to run in the SQL Server Agent I get the following error:
Executed as user: SERVER_NAMEAdministrator. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 11.0.2100.60 for 64-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Started: 7:53:26 AM Error: 2015-06-08 07:53:26.78 Code: 0x00000216 Source: Package1 Connection manager "Teradata"
[Code] ....
Why would a connection work in SSIS but not in a scheduled SQL Server Agent job?
I'm having an issue connecting to an Oracle database using Visual Studio 2013 - Business Intelligence tools.I am running Windows 7 (64-bit), Visual Studio 2013, and have SQL 2012 Enterprise (64-bit) on my local machine. I downloaded the MS Connectors v2.0 for Oracle found here. But when I try to add a new connection either through the connection manager or inserting a Data Flow Task and looking for the Oracle connections in the "Other Sources" or "Other Destinations" - neither option is available.I have the 32-bit Oracle client installed, the tnsnames.ora file has been created and I can connect to the Oracle DB through PL/SQL.I see Microsoft Connector for Oracle by Attunity 2.0 in my Programs list - installed for this file: Attunity SSISOra Adapters SetupX64.msi. don't know what else to try to get the connections available.
In my package , I am used CDC Source transformation and received the Net changes then insert into Destination. But whatever Data coming from CDC source data type Varchar value needs to Converting Non Unicode string to Unicode string SSIS. So used Data conversion transformation to achieved this. I need to achieve this without data conversion.
I am using OLE DB source to extract data from Oracle. I have query (sample) like below, but SSIS is converting ID as Unicode String [DT_WSTR]. Why is that? and how to avoid this?
I am following the SSIS overview video- URL...I have a flat file that i want to import the contents onto a SQL database.I created a Dataflow task, source file and oledb destination.I am getting the folliwung error -"column "A" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types".in the origin file the data type is coming as string[DT_STR] and in the destination object it is coming as "Unicode string [DT_WSTR]"I used a data conversion object in between, dosent works very well
I am using SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2012. I have a very simple SSIS package with a Data Flow task that exports from an OLE DB Source to a tab-delimited unicode Flat File Destination and a Bulk Insert task that loads from the file. Both the Flat File Destination and Bulk Import are using the same code page. The Bulk Insert task is using the wide char format to read from the file. The process works fine with nvarchar and int columns, but when I add a unique identifier column it fails with "type mismatch or invalid character for the specified code page".
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.
Please let me know whether we can use Teradata as Source in SSIS (Target is SQL Server 2005). ie. Do we have oledb driver for NCR Teradata to connect to it. Our SSIS will be hosted in 64 bit SQL, but for development we use 32 bit.
I'm connecting to a SQL Server 2005 database using the latest (beta) sql server driver (Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver 1.1 CTP June 2006) from within Java (Rational Application Developer).
The table in SQL Server database has collation Latin1_General_CI_AS and one of the columns is a NVARCHAR with collation Indic_General_90_CI_AS. This should be a Unicode only collation. However when storing for instance the following String:
__ÙÚÜÛùúüû_ÅÆØåæøßÇçÑñ__ЎўЄє?ґ_пр?туф_ЂЉЊЋ ... it is saved with ? for all unicode characters as follows (when looking in the database): __ÙÚÜÛùúüû_ÅÆØåæøßÇçÑñ__??????_??????_????
The above is not correct, since all unicode characters should still be visible. When inserting the same string directly into the sql server database (without using Java) the result is ok.
Also when trying to retrieve the results again it complains about the following error within Java:
Codepage 0 is not supported by the Java environment.
Hopefully somebody has an answer for this problem. When I alter the collation of the NVARCHAR column to be Latin1_General_CI_AS as well, the data can be stored and retrieved however then of course the unicode specific characters are lost and results into ? So in that case the output is as described above (ie __ÙÚÜÛùúüû_ÅÆØåæøßÇçÑñ__??????_??????_????)
We would like to be able to persist and retrieve unicode characters in a SQL Server database using the correct JDBC Driver. We achieved this result already with an Oracle UTF8 database. But we need to be compliant with a SQL Server database as well. Please help.
I'm trying to import data in Excel into SQL Server table which you would think would be an absolute doddle seeing as they're both key Microsoft products in the BI family..One of the columns in Excel spreadsheet is Comments1 and a couple of the values in this column are over 300 characters in length yet when I set up the Excel source and then open Advanced Editor and look at Input and output properties this column has a data-type of Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255 which leads to the truncated error in the title.
I've researched this and on find going into the registry and updating the TypeGuessRows value from 8 to zero. I've done this and yet the data-type is still showing as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255. I've even moved the row with the largest number of characters to the top of the spreadsheet and changed the TypeGuessRows value to 1 but the data-type still stays the same.I can't believe that it's soooo difficult to import data from one of Microsoft's key BI applications to another using their 'world-class' integration tool.
I'm trying to execute a simple VBS file from the Executable command line in the Execute Process Task Editor.
My line is this : cscript.exe "c:convertcsvssisXlsToCsv.vbs"
SSIS keeps saying there are illegal characters here. I've Googled and looked about 20 articles and I can't resolve it.
I have a ForEach that loops through Excel files and changes them to CSV files using code i found. This script takes an original Excel file and transfers it to a new CSV file in a new directory.
So in DOS at the CMD line I would type : XlsTocsv.vbs originalfile.xls newfile.csv
I have the original file and new file in the Arguments line so I'm assuming that after the script executes it will look at the filepaths in the loop and loop through them so I want it do to this when it runs:
XlsTocsv.vbs [User::@ExcelFile] [User::@CSVFile]
I just can't get it to execute and I keep getting illegal characters.
I have an SSIS package that pulls data from a MYSQL DB (Using RSSBus for Salesforce in SSIS to accomplish this). Most of the columns are loading properly, but I have many columns that I need to convert.
I have been using the Data Conversion dataflow task in SSIS to convert the rows.
I have 2 data conversions that work on most of the columns, but the DESCRIPTION column continues to return an error saying "Cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode types", regardless of what I choose on the Data Conversion task. So, basically I want to dump this column data into a SQL table with NVARCHAR datatypes. Here is what I am doing in my SSIS package...
1) Grab subset of data from SOURCE 2) Converts to TEXTSTREAM. (Data Conversion) 3) Converts to STRING. (Data Conversion) 4) Load Destination table. (OLE DB Destination)
I have also tried to simply convert the values to STRING, but that doesn't work either.
So, I have 2 Data Conversions working here that process most of the data correctly. What I can do to load the DESCRIPTION column?
I've had some great headaches with SSIS this morning, which I have managed to get a workarounds for, but I'm not happy with them so I've come to ask for advice.
Basically, I am exporting data from an SQL Server database into an Excel spreadsheet and hitting issues with unicode and non-unicode data types.
For example, I have a column that is char(6) and have added a data conversion step to the data flow, which converts it to type DT_WSTR and then everything works!
However, this seems like a completely un-neccessary step as I should be able to do the conversion in T-SQL - but no matter what I try I keep getting the same problem.
SELECT Cast(employee_number As nvarchar(255)) As [employee_number] FROM employee WHERE forename = 'george'
ErrorValidation error. details: 1 [1123]: Column "employee_number" cannot convert between unicode and non-unicode string data types.
I know I have a solution (read: workaround) but I really don't want to do this everytime!
Hi, Data in the table appearing with strange characters [probably unicode]. For instance obeserve the string [marked in red color] "Rod. Anhang?era s/n§". When I export the same to excel and apply language as portuguese it shows properly. The actual portuguese languguage has ascents in the sentence. This where the problem is seen.
I wanted to display them back in normal form could please suggest me the best possible way to cast such characters.
I can't find a Dynamics CRM topic and I'm hoping someone here will recognize the problem that we are having with integration between Dynamics and SRS.
Dynamics CRM server deployed fine. But we are having this problem when trying to install the Dynamics SRS Data Connector (an additional component that is supposed to be installed locally on the SRS server): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947060/en-us
Trouble is, the SQL server is a default instance, and SRS is hosted on a default web site listening on port 80. In fact, this is just a plain default install of SQL 2005 and SRS 2005 on one server. Nothing has been customized. And yet we get this error when we try to install SRS Data Connector on the local SRS machine: "Unable to validate SQL Server Reporting Services Report Server installation. Please check that it is correctly installed on the local machine."
But the SRS is installed and running fine! I can even see and run reports that the Dynamics CRM Server install had created on the SRS server! And yet the setup program insists that SRS is not installed and it won't proceed with installation. It obviously runs some strange prerequisite check. (Devs: Why not just run a connect test to the SRS Web service?)
Environment: Win 2003 native domain on server A, Dynamics CRM 4.0 Pro on server B (Win 2003 VM 32bit), SQL 2005 SP2 and SRS 2005 SP2 on server C (Win 2003, physical server, 64bit). Data Connector failing to install on server C. I've even tried using a domain admin account, and went as far as running the installer in SYSTEM context. Still it fails.
I've also tried every variation of SRS and IIS configs that I know of (disabling SSL, enabling anon auth, etc etc etc etc...) I've gone as far as setting up a separate domain, separate SQL and SRS, and making a local Dynamics install, and STILL I got the same error while installing the Data Connector.
This is most frustrating. There's obviously something wrong with the method Dynamics CRM setup program uses to determine whether or not SRS is installed. But how come there isn't any info about this except for that one KB article that doesn't apply to us?
I have a table with nVarchar column.If i do a search like this ----------------------------------------------------------------------SELECT ID, Book, Chapter, Number, Amharic, EnglishFROM tbl_testWHERE (Amharic LIKE '%??ቅር%')----------------------------------------------------------------------it doesn't return anything but if i add 'N' after LIKE as ----------------------------------------------------------------------SELECT ID, Book, Chapter, Number, Amharic, EnglishFROM tbl_testWHERE (Amharic LIKE N'%??ቅር%')----------------------------------------------------------------------It returns the whole table without filtering.Can someone help me with this?
I got a weird problem here, i hope your valuable suggestions will help me in solving it... we extract data from AS400 servers to our Extract Database(SQL Server) using SSIS. The data coming from china has a weird problem, Couple of columns come in chinese language, though we have set the respective columns as nvarchar(50) we see on our extract database that they are not chinese charecters but something really bad data symbols as:
(9(
+¦
2¬ o|a&]
2¬ o|a&]
+N|( <
....
....
etc....
I hope you are understanding what i mean ...may be i need to do something(probably change some properties) in the SSIS packages which extract data from the AS400 Servers.
Has anyone encountered such a problem...I will look forward for your valuable suggestions.
Hi,Our school has an application in which :- Teachers enter comments through a web interface built in asp (notasp.net).- Comments are stored in a SQL server 2000 (in a nText field)- Comments are printed through a MS-Access 2002 front-end...Most comments are in English, Spanish or French. Some comments areEnglish + Japanese.- The Japanese teachers can enter their comments through the webinterface without any glitch.- The comments are obviously stored properly in the nText field, asthey can be displayed through the web interface.Here is where problems start to occur...- When browsing through the table using the Enterprise Manager, thecomment appears blank if it contains some Japanese.- When browsing through the table in Access (the table being linked),we can see the series of unicodes :漢字テス... while, in the next paragraph, theEnglish text is perfectly readable...- Similarly, on the printed report, the Japanese text appears as aseries of Unicodes, while the English text appears perfactly readable.If I copy the Japanese text from the web interface and paste it intothe linked table in Access, it displays perfectly and prints perfectlyin Access. But of course, I can't do that manually for all students...However, if I now look at the same record through the EnterpriseManager, I see the text (at last !) but only as a series of unreadablecharacters. I can imagine that that last problem is due to a lack ofJapanese font in the Enterprise Manager, bacause if I copy theseuneradable characters and paste them in the original web form, theydisplay perfectly...I would really appreciate if someone could help me sort out thatproblem.Many thanks for all ideas.DL

I create my database table with a text field of nvarchar(), added some japanese kanji characters and so on. Everything works great, I can insert kanji and retrieve kanji and display them just fine from my c# application, however if I try to search for kanji using a WHERE = '' or a WHERE like '' clause, it doesn't score a match. Not even a direct one.
I'm on XP using a japanese locale with IME installed. The kanji shows up in Enterprise Manager correctly, it even shows in the query for the table, yet the WHERE clause won't record a hit. Changing the collation on the field to "Japanese" or "Japanese UNICODE" doesn't seem to have any effect.
I want to achieve the following in (SSIS/SSDT for SQL 2012) -
I have a generic SSIS package which simply sends out email notifications using SMTP email task (this package is within its own project, and has project level input parameters).
I need to be able to call this package in the Event handler section of every package (numbering in about less than 60) that we have. These packages are within their own respective projects.
I thought I could use the "execute package task", but it turns out , using this, I cannot call a package that is part of some other project. I also cannot call a package that is stored in the CATALOG. Is there any way I can do this ?
When I call the child package , I should be able to send in parameters like - error information and package name of the Parent package.
Y'all:I am needing some way, in the SQL Server dialect of SQL, to escape unicodecode points that are embedded within an nvarchar string in a SQL script,e.g. in Java I can do:String str = "This is au1245 test.";in Oracle's SQL dialect, it appears that I can accomplish the same thing:INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (TEST_COLUMN) VALUES ('This is a1245 test.");I've googled and researched through the MSDN, and haven't discovered asimilar construct in SQL Server. I am already aware of the UNISTR()function, and the NCHAR() function, but those aren't going to work well ifthere are more than a few international characters embedded within astring.Does anyone have a better suggestion?Thanks muchly!GRB-----------------------------------------------------------------------Greg R.

MS SQL 2000. Does anyone know how to find all rows where an nvarchar column contains a specific unicode character? Is it possible without creating a user defined function? Here's the issue. I have a table Expression (ExpID, ExpText) with values like 'x < 100' and 'y ≤ 200'. where the second example contains Unicode character 8804 [that is, nchar(8804)]. Because it's unicode, I don't seem to be able to search for it with LIKE or PATINDEX. These fail: SELECT * FROM Expression WHERE ExpText LIKE '%≤%' -- no recordsSELECT * FROM Expression WHERE PATINDEX('%≤%', ExpText) -- no records However, SELECT PATINDEX('%≤%', 'y ≤ 200') will return 3. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I am having an issue fetching Chinese characters in a XML data type. It return questions mark (?).
Below is the sample script.

Hi,usually, I'm not using MS servers, but I have a big problem with aAccess table.I should create a web application for a Historical Dipartment.They have create a populated a Access database using unicodecompression field (for ancient language).I would like to export this table into MySQL o Postgres, but it'simpossible because when I export this table in a .txt o cvs format theunicode charaters have been "destroyed" for memory allocation problems(cause Access use a compression tool for unicode fields).Also with professional tools for dump Access to another DBMS.I would to know if using a MS SQL server I can skip this problem causeboth MSQLserver both Access are Microsoft product.Thank you ;)J
