Problem With Excel Source To OLEDB Mapping
Nov 26, 2007
Hi,
I have an Excel source, which I have hooked up to a Data Conversion task. I have defined "Output Aliases" for all my columns in the Data Conversion task.
However, when I try to map the columns from the Data Conversion task to the table columns, there is a list of column names, which do not correspond to the names I defined as "Output Aliases."
For example, one of the Output Aliases is "col1." However, when I go to map it, the column name is not "col1" but "My Excel file.col1".
Why is this happening? I have not had this problem before.
Thanks

Learning how to use SSIS...
I have a data flow that uses an OLEDB Source Component to read data from a table. The data access mode is SQL Command. The SQL Command is:
select lpartid, iCallNum, sql_uid_stamp
from call where sql_uid_stamp not in (select sql_uid_stamp from import_callcompare)
I wanted to add additional clauses to the where clause.
The problem is that I want to add to this SQL Command the ability to have it use a package variable that at the time of the package execution uses the variable value.
The package variable is called [User::Date_BeginningYesterday]
select lpartid, iCallNum, sql_uid_stamp
from call where sql_uid_stamp not in (select sql_uid_stamp from import_callcompare) and record_modified < [User::Date_BeginningYesterday]
I have looked at various forum message and been through the BOL but seem to missing something to make this work properly.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms139904.aspx
The article, is the closest I have (what I belive) come to finding a solution. I am sure the solution is so easy that it is staring me in the face and I just don't see it. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi all,
I got an error when i do an OLE db Source pointing to an sql 2000 database and executing a sql query inside the OLE Source. The ole source will point to an OLE DB destination which is an sql 2005 database.
But i got the below error:
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Destination [245]]: the column firstname cannot be processed because more than one code page (936 and 1252) are specified for it.
Error at Data Flow Task [DTS.Pipeline]: "component "OLE DB destination" (245)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".
Error at Data Flow Task [DTS.Pipeline]: One or more component failed validation.
Error at Data Flow TaSK: There were errors during task validation.

Hi ,
I have a Package Consisting of the following (tried to portray the flow below)
1) OLE DB Source (Which I set the sql command for in code)
|
/
2) Rowcount Transform (Counts the Source Records)
|
/
3) Derived Column (Adds An AuditJobID ,ExecutionStartDate)
|
/
4) Conditional Split (Splits New and Updated Record - My Implementation of SCD)
/
/ /
5) Rowcount Transform (Counts the New Records) Rowcount Transform (Counts Update Records)
/
/ /
6) OLEDB Destination OLEDB Update Command
I am trying to map the columns in the "OLEDB Destination" with c# ,with the following
IDTSInput90 input = oledbDestination.InputCollection[0];
IDTSVirtualInput90 vInput = input.GetVirtualInput();
As soon as I call the input.GetVirtualInput(); method I get a com exception ,Seem that I am missing a
VirtualInputColumnCollection on the component ,but can't seem to figure out why.
When I drop the all the other components and only keep the OLEDb Source and OLEDB Destination with a flow between them , the call to input.GetVirtualInput() doe not fail with a com exception and I can mapping normally
I really need some guidance on the above.
Regards
Cedric

I created a Stored Proc to compute all the data I need to export to a CSV file.
I use the provider MS OLE DB Provider for SQL Server.
It's a very simple package with a single Data Flow Task.
This flow task is using an OLE DB Source to call a simple SQL Command : Exec MyStoredProc.
There are no params.
This Stored Proc is using table variables to compute the data.
It takes about 10 seconds to return anything.
The problem is that the mapping doesn't work with the OLE DB Source.
There are no fields at all shown in the mapping screen.
I tried to replace the Stored Proc by a version which only returns fields and no data.
Then the mapping would work just fine.
The package is then compiling and working fine.
But everytime I put back the real stored proc, even without changing the SQL Command, the SSIS execution breaks at execution.
It keeps saying :
"Error: 0xC0202005 at Data Flow Task, OLE DB Source [477]: Column "RecordType" cannot be found at the datasource."
My guess is that SSIS doesn't wait the 10 secs and thinks the Stored Proc is not returning anything.
What can I do to make this work ?
Thanks,
Vincent

Hello,
What I'm trying to accomplish is to have a variable names "SourceTable" and "DestinationTable". So for each SourceTable, the DestinationTable will have the same columns. All I need is to auto-map these columns between source and destination via code?
Is this possible?
Thanks,

Hello,
I am trying to do the following:
I have been given an MS Access Database that has a table with columns
I have to create a spreadsheet that will have the data stored in the column header as a row (essentially we are creating a spreadsheet that records all of the different columns in all of the different tables in the MS Access DB).
Any suggestions???

I have created a package which transfers data from a SQL server source to an Excel Destination. The DataFlow Task works fine , if i pre-define the column names in the Excel Destination... But i run into an error when i give the blank excel sheet as my destination. I am unable to map any columns
A sample example is as shown above .. In the column mappings field only one column in the Excel shows up for mapping and eventually throws the error "[Excel Destination [42]] Error: The number of columns is incorrect. "
How do we proceed in this case , where in we do not want to give pre-defined coulmn names in the Excel Destination sheet.
Thanks,

I was having one package which uses a source query in OLEDB Source Control and fetches the record and a couple of lookups and then an oledb command to insert/update the records in the table using as SP. I changed the source query(Infact the package) and removed in lookup and a different SP was called similar to the old one. But my problem is the package which was before taking only minutes to update 50,000 records is now taking more than 2 hrs. The problem is the number of records it is fetching from the source each time is very less.. its fetching hardly 500 records a time compared to nearly 2500 records before. Where am i going wrong? Any suggestion greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am running an MDX query in SSIS but I don't know what is the best way of doing this, performance wise.
I know I can run the MDX query through an openquery in the OLEDB, and also run it through a Datareader, no openquery needed.
I know the datareader is slower in a normal basis due to .Net, but in this case the OLEDB is running an open query to a linked server which won't be fast like running a regular SQL.
If anyone knows which of this two run faster in this scenario I'll appretiate if you let me know.

Hi,
Firtsly - I am new to SSIS if my approach could be improved then I welcome suggestions.
Scenario: I have a large SSIS package that consolidates / summarizes work week information from several data sources. Currently each data flow task in the control flow calculates the from and to date that is filtered on, for example:
DECLARE @FromDT AS DATETIME
SET @FromDT = CAST(FLOOR( CAST( DATEADD(D, -7, GETDATE()) AS FLOAT ) ) AS DATETIME)
DECLARE @ToDT AS DATETIME
SET @ToDT = CAST(FLOOR( CAST( GETDATE() AS FLOAT ) ) AS DATETIME)
I would like to remove these statements that appear in most steps and replace them with a global variable that is used throughout the package. This statement would only appear once & it would make the package much easier to run after failure etc.
Problem: I am using Data Reader Source with the 'SQLCommand' property specified. It looks like parameters are only supported if an OleDB connection is used?
So I switched to an OleDB connection and no parameters are recognised in the string - a forum search reveals that parameters in sub queries are not always found properly. The solution to this problem appears to be, to set 'Bypass Prepare' to True but this is a property for the Execute SQL task, not the Data Flow Task source.
Questions:
Does the Data Reader Source control from Data Flow Source toolbox section support parameters?
Can anyone suggest a fix to the OleDB Source issue with Parameters?
Is there a better way to solve my problem e.g. Using Execute SQL Task instead of Data Flow tasks etc
Example SQL:
This SQL is an example of the SQL for the OleDB Data Source (within a Data Flow task)
------------------------------
--RADIUS LOGINS
------------------------------
DECLARE @FromDT AS DATETIME
SET @FromDT = CAST(FLOOR( CAST( DATEADD(D, -7, GETDATE()) AS FLOAT ) ) AS DATETIME)
DECLARE @ToDT AS DATETIME
SET @ToDT = CAST(FLOOR( CAST( GETDATE() AS FLOAT ) ) AS DATETIME)
DECLARE @Attempts AS BIGINT
SET @Attempts =
(SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM dbo.Radius_Login_Records
WHERE LoggedAt BETWEEN @FromDT AND @ToDT)
DECLARE @Failures AS BIGINT
SET @Failures =
(SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM dbo.Radius_Login_Records
WHERE LoggedAt BETWEEN @FromDT AND @ToDT
AND Authen_Failure_Code IS NOT NULL)
DECLARE @Successes AS BIGINT
SET @Successes = @Attempts - @Failures
DECLARE @OcaV1Hits AS BIGINT
SET @OcaV1Hits = (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT LoginName)
FROM dbo.Radius_Login_Records
WHERE LoggedAt BETWEEN
@FromDT AND @ToDT
AND EAPTypeID = 25)
DECLARE @OcaV2Hits AS BIGINT
SET @OcaV2Hits = (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT LoginName) AS OcaV2Hits
FROM dbo.Radius_Login_Records
WHERE LoggedAt BETWEEN
@FromDT AND @ToDT
AND EAPTypeID = 13)
SELECT
@Attempts AS ConnectionAttempts,
@Failures AS ConnectionFailures,
(CAST(@Successes AS DECIMAL(38,2)) / CAST(@Attempts AS FLOAT) * 100) AS SuccessRate,
@OcaV1Hits AS OcaV1Hits,
@OcaV2Hits AS OcaV2Hits
Please remember, I'm new to SSIS - so be detailed in your response. Thanks for your help!

I am debugging a Data Flow task in my SSIS package. When I run the package in debug mode, one of the OLEDB Data Sources turns red. I have rerouted all Error Output to a flat file, and put a Data Viewer on that path: no rows get sent. When I click the Preview button on this component in Design mode, I see the expected data and get no error messages. The connection does a simple table access...no SQL command. I don't see anything different between this component and other OLEDB sources in the same package that don't trigger any errors. I've tried dropping and re-creating the component with the same results.
What else can I do to debug this?

Guys,
I am having a nightmarish time getting an Oracle Connection Manager working as a source in my SSIS package.
The CM is called "OLTP_SOURCE". When I inspect the configuration and test connection, it succeeds, however when I go to run the package (both in debug mode and via DTEXECUI) I get the following error:
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "OLTP_SOURCE" failed with error code 0xC0202009
After this happens, if I go into an OLE DB Source within a DFT, I get the following:
No disconnected record set is available for the specified SQL statement.
Now, if I go back into the CM, enter the password and test, it succeeds. From this point, I will go to preview the data in the OLE DB Source, and it comes back fine. However, when I go to run the package, I get the same error time and time again:
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "OLTP_SOURCE" failed with error code 0xC0202009
The quick reader will suggest that the password is not being persisted. To this end, I have tried each of the following techniques to no avail:
1. Double, Triple and Quadruple check that the "save" password option in the CM is checked.
2. Hardcode the connection string in the dtsx XML-behind.
3. Enable Package Configurations and hardcode the connection string in the dstsconfig file.
4. Run the dtsx file using DTEXECUI, providing it with the configuration (that includes the hard-coded password).
5. Run the dtsx file using DTEXECUI, providing it the connection string in the Connection Managager override UI.
Can anyone help shed some light on what might be going on? So far, it is obvious that there has to be something that I am doing wrong because (syntax dialect differences aside) I can't imagine that Oracle sources should be this much of a headache.
Thanks,
Rick

A little background first. I have a header table and a detail table in my staging area/ods. I need to join them together to flatten them out for load. The Detail Table is pretty deep - approx 100 million rows.
If I use the setting (table or view) and set the table name (say, the detail table), the package starts up nicely. But if I switch the OLE DB Source to using a SQL Statement and then join the tables in the SQL, then the Pre-Execute phase of the package takes a VERY long time. I have waited as long as 30 minutes for this phase to complete, but it never finished.
Another twist...If I take the join select statement out of the OLEDB Source and put it in a view on the server, then swith the OLE DB Source to look at the view using the (table or view) mode, then the package gets through the Pre-Execute phase just fine.
Can someone go into detail as to what the Pre-Execute phase does and why a deep table might make it take a long time? I know already that the pre-execute phase caches the lookups, but not much else.
Any help?

Hi,
at first...
Yes, I have seen this post http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=366077&SiteID=1 and yes, my Stored Procedure contains a "Set nocount on"...
:-)
My Stored Procedure contains variable SQL-Code to check a table (given by parameter) against some masterdata tables and I would like to write the result of the check to a flatfile to be able to send it via mail.
but evoking the Stored procedure brings up no meta data for the Flatfile Destination - the preview works...
any other hints?
except for doing the ckeck completely in SSIS?
:-P

Hello All,
I understand that the parser is having issues parsing my second command but I was wonder if anyone had stumbled on a work around for this:
-- OLEDB Source has no problem with this:
SELECT *
FROM some_table
where
last_update_dt = ?
-- OLEDB Source errors on this:
SELECT *
FROM some_table
where
Convert( char(12), last_update_dt, 112 ) = Convert( char(12), Cast( ? as DateTime), 112 )
The first SQL statement won't return the desired rows because of the wonderful time stamp, the second works well but the provider won't parse it. I have used the "SQL command from variable" to work around this but we have some tables with 200+ columns, so the only way to use the "SQL command from variable" is to do a select *, which I'm trying to avoid, for both performance reasons and company standards.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Raymond

i need to select data by using a very complex sql statement. when i use a ole db source componente and choose SQL command as data access mode the process never ends. but when i put the sql statement in an sql task component it works fine and fast. isn't an oledb source always based on an sql statement (select *)? so how is it possible that this component becomes so slow?

Hi All,
Is it possible that an OLEDB Data Flow Source is imposing locks on the source tables? The source is an SQL Server OLTP environment, and although the package will be scheduled to run nightly when the application sees little to no use, I want to be sure that the process isn't impacting any application functions.
Thanks for the advice!

Hi,
I have created lastUpdatedDate variable on package level. I have run a sql task and store a date in that variable.
now i am trying to pass that variable as parameter to oledb source connection (using command). it seems that we cant pass parameter in any sub query or derived table in query. its only working in outer query as soon as we place ? in WHERE clause of inner query it start throwing an 'Syntax Error' error saying that connection provider might not support that.
any idea ?????
I dont want to use command variables as my query is going to be quite big.
Note : I have tried Sql Server Native and OLEDB provider for sql server and this behaviour is seems to be constant in both.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm using an OLEDBSource to select some data and then putting to in a Flat File destination.
However, when I look at the data in the OLEDBSource, they´re like this:
1. id
2. name
3. address
...but in the flatfile it comes out in the wrong order.
How can I fix this?
Thank you so much.

Have to create SSIS package for the below requirement:
I have source data in 2 excel files. Data from both these excel files should be loaded to the same single Fact table.
The column names in excel files and table are not same. I have a Reference table which has the column mappings between excel and Fact Table.
I have to refer this Reference Tabel for column mappings, plus i have to add some derived columns (Created_Date) to load the Fact_Table.
I have given a sample data structure below:
Source Data
Excel1_Order.xls
OrderNumber    OrderQuantity    OrderDate
Order10001Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 100Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 01-01-2011
Excel2_Customer.xls
CustomerNumber     CustomerName    CustomerAddress
[Code] ....
Is there any way to handle this in SSIS?

I am using a Excel Source to get the data from an excel file to sql server 2005 table. A couple columns are coming in a double precision float, but some values have characters in them, but those values are coming out as null, even though I changed the datatype from float to unicode string. Any inputs on resolving this will be much appreciated.

I am trying to get the contents of the Excel Files dynamically and dumping into the SQL Database using SSIS. Through WMI Event Watcher, I could find when one or more Excel files dumped in a particular folder and using ForEach Loop Container I was able to take all the filenames and pass it through Variables. But at the same time in the Data Flow, I have to pass each Sheet of an Excel File to the Excel Source control and export the data to my SQL Database using OLEDB Destination.
For that I need to get the names of each sheets in an Excel File and pass it to the Excel Source Control through variables. But when I give Data Access Mode as "Table name or view name variable" and provide the variable name in that, then it is giving an error message as "A destination table name has not been provided".
And at the same time, Since I was not able to provide an static Filename (as I am passing through Variables), when I tried to map the columns in the OleDB Destination, it is not allowing me to map the columns.
So all these things I should do at Run-time using Variables in SSIS. I don't want to hard-code any filenames or Sheet names. If any one of you have a solution, please share with me.
Thanks & Regards,
Prakash Srinivasan

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?

hello guys,
I have 10 tables, table1, table2, table3, table4.......table10. all these tables have different structure.
From each of these tables I want extract data and dump into flat file csv.
So i have OLEDB source and FlatFile Destination.
If i write seperate data flow task for each of the tables, then there is no issue.
But i want to use a single data flow task for all these tables. So for this, i use a variable @SQLStr . And i dynamically set the value of this variable to select * from table1, select * from table2.........selct * from table10.
So in the OLEDB source I select Data Access Mode as : SQL Command from variable. And I use @SQLStr for this varible.
For Destination, i dynamically generate the flat file for each of the table.
But this doesnt work, i get validation errors.
So, first can i use a single data flow task to dynamically change the source(different source tables) and destination. If so, what i am missing in the above process?
any help appriciated.
Thanks

Slow OLEDB Source in Data Flow
Hi All,
I have a simple data flow task, composed of only an OLEDB Source, a Conditional Split, and two Execute SQL statements (both insert statements, one after the other). When I run my package in Visual Studio for debugging, I noticed that after executing around ~9800 in the first and another ~9800 records in the second insert statements, the OLEDB Source will take around 3 or 4 minutes to fetch another set of ~9800 records. I have set the DefaultBufferMaxRows property of the Data Flow to 10000. My query to retrieve those 700,000 records runs for about 2-3 mins to finish (which I think should be decent enough). Is this an expected behavior of SSIS? The expected number of records to be retrieved is 700,000, and it takes forever to finish the transfer of these records. Please help

We have a complicated select query that needs to build a couple temporary work tables that are then used in the final select statement (in an OLEDB Source data flow control). We can click preview and see the resultset, but if we click on the Columns view there are no columns. We can save and close the OLEDB Source control but downstream from it there are messages saying that there are no input columns. The T-SQL looks something like this (abbreviated):
SELECT fieldlist INTO #temp1 FROM table
SELECT fieldlist INTO #temp2 FROM table
SELECT fieldlist FROM table INNER JOIN #temp1 INNER JOIN #temp2
DROP TABLE #temp1; DROP TABLE #temp2
Has anyone been able to use temp tables in a source SQL statement in a data flow? Are we doing something wrong or incomplete?
Thanks, Gordy
