  • Hi all,

    i have to move invalid records(data type mismatch) from excel into error log and have to process only valid records.

    But the problem is when there is mismatch data type like :

    in DT_WSTR there is value 1234

    in DT_R8 there is value xxx while reading only the excel source replace it with null.

    but i want to move that record into error log file ....

    There is a way to send errored rows to another drop location, which can then be manipulated. Go to your OLEDB delivery and click on error configuration, then choose redirect row for all options.

    You'll then have to take the error rows and deliver them to a location that'll handle pretty much anything that might have ended up in the column.

    Now, a few questions, because what you've listed above doesn't directly translate to that.

    DT_WSTR (Unicode VARCHAR()) doesn't have a problem with 1234. What's the concern there?

    DT_R8 (BIGINT if memory serves, but it's numeric) will properly error on xxx, but it won't translate to NULL for you. For something like that, you'll want to include a derived column in the datastream, replace the column, and have it detect for ISNUMERIC() ? OrigColumn : DT_R8NULL (it's in the syntax above in datatypes, I forget it offhand).

    This isn't simply an 'if error transfer to drop file', you are looking to perform in stream transformations and detections if I understand this right, so it's not as simple. You have to build each direct check that isn't just a 'on bad data drop over here'.

  • [font="Times New Roman"]Hi Sathyan,

    If i understand correctly the value 'XXX' is getting replaced by NULL in the excel sheet.

    If thats the case can you give us some example for the values?

    Thanks,
