I am scripting a DTS Package using VB. The problem I am having is that I get the following error when I execute the package from Visual Basic:
Step Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset Provider
Step Error Description:Incomplete file format information - file cannot be opened.
In the DTS Designer when I open the DataPump Transformation and click on the Destination tab I am prompted With the Define Columns dialog. I define the columns and click execute. The package works properly after doing this when executed from Enterprise Manager. Does anyone know how to script the file definition creation??? I have searched high and low through BOL and other resources and am not finding anything. I doesn't seem like it should be this hard to figure out so, maybe I am missing something.
I want to export to a Text File (destination) from a SQL query using a DTS DataPump Task. My query has 28 columns, some how when I try to define the destination columns for my text file the Microsoft Managment Console Crashes completely.
I tough may be my query has two many columns only to find out that it has one to many. If I ramove a column form my query, any column. I get no error at all.
Is there a limit to a Text File destination connection?
Hi, I am new to SQL Server. Trying to convert a pc sas program to a SQL Server 2000 DTS package. Need fixed format comma delimited destination text file from a DB2 data source. Problem: SQL wants to make financial field 19 bytes long but I want it to be 12. Tried casting as a DECIMAL(7,2) but SQL still wants it to be 19 bytes long. Tried converting to CHAR but then it is still left-justified. I need decimal to be in the third byte from the right. Is this possible?
I am trying to create a text file from an SQL query on a SQL table. I would like the SSIS package to prompt for the file name and path. The text file is tab delimited and the text qualifier is a double quote.
I am trying to load 14+ million rows from a text file into local Sql Server. I tried using Sql Server destination because it seemed to be faster, but after about 5 million rows it would always fail. See various errors below which I received while trying different variations of FirstRow/LastRow, Timeout, Table lock etc. After spending two days trying to get it to work, I switched to OLE DB Destination and it worked fine. I would like to get the Sql Server Destination working because it seems much faster, but the error messages aren't much help. Any ideas on how to fix?
Also, when I wanted to try just loading a small sample by specifying first row/last row, it would get to the upper limit and then picked up speed and looked like it kept on reading rows of the source file until it failed. I expected it to just reach the limit I set and then stop processing.

So this one has been bugging me for a while and I am ready to punt...
Is it possible to dynamically create a text file destination in SSIS and then pump the results of a query stored in a variable to this text file?
So my package looks like this 1) SQL task that pulls back a list of tables to be exported 2) For Each Loop ADO enum that passes the table name to a SQL Task that builds the select...ie select * from <DTS.Variables()> 3) Data flow task that sets the command from variable from step 2 4) Text File destinaiton that is built using a varable as the connectionstring
I am delaying validation in steps3 and 4 above without any luck...basically I am curious if i can even do what I am thinking I should be able to do here...I get as far as getting metadata errors because SSIS can't seem to handle dynamically filling the pipeline with the columns from the variable/SQL statement.
Hi all, I got a unicode file source with this fields: -DT_WSTR (100) originally is DT_STR(100) -DT_WSTR (100) originally is DT_STR(100) -DT_NTEXT -DT_WSTR (20) originally is DT_DBTIMESTAMP -DT_WSTR (5) originally is DT_BOOLEAN
I export a Query result to a File (see above) ...as unicode TXT destination.
OK, now I must to re-import into another DB and here is my difficult...'cause the DT_NTEXT is HTML code and I got always this error: [Flat File Source [1050]] Error: The column delimiter for column "scheda" was not found. Scheda field is the DT_NTEXT.
Into connection manager area I modify the advanced tab for the set-up of my fields setting all to: Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with a variable of the len, but Try also to define everyone to the rigth type of the SQL destination like:
In every type of action I see no message alert and all seem to be good, but when I try to execute got always same error...

i have to send the result of aforesaid script in batch of 300 records per file (tab delimited text file) now the file name must be dynamically created as each file will contain 300 records.
I have found some document related to same issue on this url
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.
We've all seen this, where it uses an individual .write statement for each column.
Code Snippet
Public Overrides Sub AWCCogent_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As AWCCogentBuffer)
With textWriter
Dim item As Object
If Not Row.AddressID_IsNull Then .Write(Row.AddressID) End If .Write(columnDelimiter) If Not Row.City_IsNull Then .Write(Row.City) End If
.WriteLine()
End With
End Sub
But hard coding this seems not the smartest way. Especially since in my text file, there needs to be close to 100 columns. This could be a nightmare to update down the road. But I can't seem to find the object collection to loop through, like row.items which would seem to be logical.
We have remote users running MSDE entering information into adatabase. To send the data back to the home office, we've written someroutines that export the data into SQL Scripts in text files:DELETE <table> where KeyID=<x>INSERT INOT <table> (fields) VALUES (fields).We then zip up these scripts, and either email or ftp the ZIPs back tothe home office, where a program opens them up and simply "runs" theSQL statements.The new version of my database application contains both TEXT fields(containing rich text) and IMAGE fields (containing file attachmentslike JPGs or excel spreadsheets). I'm worried that our SQL Scripterengine (which we really like) is going to choke on the text and imagefields. Can anyone suggest a similar method to send the SQL dataaround?thanksmatt tag
I'm trying to get the text of all my SPs saved into text (*.sql) files. My first thought was to use sp_helptext and bcp the table to a text file but this isn't working (see my other post) so thought I'd try another method.
I can get the code from syscomment.text and concatenate the varchar(8000) field together in a text field. Unfortunately this isn't as easy as just text = text + newtext, how is this done?
Or am I doing it all comletely the wrong way? BTW, I have over 150 SPs so I can't save them individually.
I am storing my Compact Database .sdf file in Team Foundation Server while we develop on it. It is really frustrating that it is stored as a binary file. (This means that only one developer at a time can effectively work on it.)
I have yet to find a way to script objects from the .sdf file. Is there a way? I would like to find a way to store this file as SQL so that my team can work on it simultaneously and scripting it and storing it seems the best way.
If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
Need to know how I can get the dynamic filename created in the FlatFile destination for insert into a package audit table?
Scenario: Have created a package that successfully outputs Dynamiclly named flat files { Format: C:Test’Comms_File_’ + ‘User::FileNumber’+’_’+Date +’.txt’
E.g.: Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt etc} using Foreach Loop Container :
* Enumerator Set to: “Foreach ADO Enumerator” with the ADO object source variable selected to identify how many total loop iterations there are i.e. Let’s say 4 thus 4 files to be created
*Variable Mappings : added the User::FileNumber – indicates which file number current loop iteration is i.e. 1,2,3,4
For the DataFlow task have a OLDBSource and a FlatFile Destination where Flat File ConnectionString is set up as:
I have a ssis package where I need to have excel destination. In the Excel file, I need to have few rows with some text and then populate data below the text. One the text is like this:
Data as of: 08/25/2015
if the report ran today, then Data as of will have Yesterday. So, if the user opens that excel file after a week, then user should see same Data as of: 08/25/2015. not today()-day(1).
I was planing to handle on excel side with today()-day(1). but it only works the day it was run. Then the excel file is open after few days later, then it might as Data as of: 08/30/2015 which is not true. It should still stay Data as of:
08/25/2015 on what ever date the excel file is open. The SSIS package runs only once.
How do I handle this so that whenever user open the file, they will see Data as of: 08/25/2015. This is not a column in excel. It is like a description of data in excel.
I was wondering if there is a way to 'Move File' with the File System Task inside of a For Each Loop container but to dynamically set the Destination path variable.
Currently, this is what I have: FileDestinationPath variable - set to C:TestFiles FileSourcePath variable - set to C:TestFiles FileNameAndLocation variable - set to blank
For Each Loop Container Iterates through a folder C:TestFiles that has .txt files in it with dates in the file name. Ex: Test_09142006.txt. Sets the file path (fully qualified) to the Variable Mapping FileNameAndLocation.
Script Task (within For Each Loop, first step) Sets the FileDestinationPath to the correct dated folder within C:TestFiles. For example, if the text files I want to move are for the 14th of September, it takes FileDestinationPath and appends the date folder to the end of it. The text files have a date in the file name (test_09142006.txt) and I am picking this apart (from FileNameAndLocation in the For Each Loop) to get the folder date. (dts.Variables(User::FileDestinationPath?).Value = dts.Variables(User::FileDestinationPath?).Value & ? Month & _? & Day & _? & Year & ?) which gives me C:TestFiles 9_14_2006?.
File System Task (within For Each Loop, second step) This is where the action is supposed to occur. I want it to take the FileDestinationPath and move the FileNameAndLocation file (from the For Loop) into this folder for each run.
Now as for my problem. I want this package to run everyday but it has to set the FileDestinationPath variable dynamically according to that days date. Basically, how do I get this to work since I cant hard code the destination path variable from the start? I have the DestinationVariable on the File System Task set to the FileDestinationPath variable, after the script task builds it. However, using FileNameAndLocation as the SourceVariable on my File System Task tells me that the Variable FileNameAndLocation? is used as a source or destination and is empty.?
Let me know if I need to clarify further...I may be missing something very simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am running my package in sql server 2012, in which i am giving network path for flat file destination. And its working fine. But if i give m local path, its giving me error " cannot open data file" ...
1. Flat File Source 2. Conditional Split, Case Good = !ISNULL(KEY) Case Error = ISNULL(KEY) 3. Case Good -> Writes to Good Flat File (with timestamp in the title) 4. Case Error -> Writes to Error Flat File (with timestamp in the title)
Most job runs have no errors but the error file is created as a zero byte file anyway. If there are no error records I don't want the error file created. How might I accomplish this?
I've spent quite a few hours on this one... I've successfully gotten tables to datapump between source and destination datbases, however... I get the following message when I hit a table with a blob field:
Step 2 failed, error: x80040E21, x80040000 + 3617 General error -2147217887 (80040E21). (Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Data Pump (80040e21): Cannot instantiate Storage Object for source column 6 ('description') Blob data. Your provider may require that all Blob columns be rightmost in the source result set.) (Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (80040e21): Errors occurred)
I've written a VB com dll that does a simple datapump... but am stuck on this "Storage Object" instantiation thingy...
Any recommendations as to what I can put in my datapump object to allow just a simple xfer of blob types?
I get this error when I execute a job calling a dts pkg. The package itself is fine and executes without any error.It's transferring around 400000 records. Shceduling the pkg gives the following error. Can any body led a hand please?

On my MS SQL Server 2000, I am trying to create a generic way to load tables into my datawarehouse.
I have as input to the process a large number of table definition(s) stored individually as files on my server. And, ascii delimited data files in various locations but mostly accessible via NFS mounts.
I created two DTS package in MSSQL2K that in theory represents what I want to do:
package1 ... invoke package2 with global variables to load a system of related tables
package2 ... check for a trigger file ... set the "Execute SQL Task" statement to my first file ... run the "Execute SQL Task" which drop/add's a table ... set a "Connection" to a data source file that I want to use ... run the transformation and, with that my package starts to fall apart ... set the "Execute SQL Task" statement to the next file, and ...... goback and execute it
I can't figure out how to set the table in the transformation section to the table I want to use. And, I assume next to have the transformations links between the source and new table relinked.
The source files contain in the first row the column names as found in the tables I just created.
Wether I'm trying to access a datapump task in an imported package in SSIS, or in 2000 enterprise manager
they crash once created. I can not alter or redo mappings or anything else. After enterprise manager churns for 5-10 min it crashes.
SSIS partially crashes: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. After this I can no longer click on anything and have to end task on Visual studio.
I can do a disconnected edit on the package in enterprise manager and alter the statement, but as far as I know you can't really change much as far as mappings back in there. This also means that my 2000 packages have been limited to 1 teradata pump per package.
This happened on my laptop, 2 coworker's desktops, and now that i've migrated to a new high end developer box it's happening on it also.
I'm using an SSIS under SQL 2005; i transfer data with a DataFlow Component:
DataSource = OLEDB Source;
Destination = OLEDB Destination
The source is a View returning about 100000 records; if i execute it in query analyser it takes few seconds. But if i use it as DataPump Source it takes HOURS to execute it...
I've noticed that If i modify the SELECT query inserting a "TOP 10000000000", it takes few seconds..
I am testing SSIS and have created a Flat File Destination. I defined the Flat File Connection as New for the first time and it worked fine. Now, I would like to go back and modify the Flat File Connection in the Flat File Destination Editor, but it allows only to create a New connection rather allowing me to edit the existing one. For testing, I can go back and create a new connection, but if my connection had 50-100 columns then it would be an issue to re-create it from scratch.
Is it possable to have control which name the flatfile has? F.ex. have the same process created files with the name: filename_2008-01-01 filename_2008-01-02 filename_2008-01-03
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?
