ProcessInput() method

  • Hi,

    I have a requirement to see if any rows are present in the input. If they exist, I just have to set a uservariable to true and exit.

    Even if there are input rows, when I run the below I see 2 msg boxes, one with value true and other with false. And finally my uservariable is set as false. Why does it get called twice? How can I fix this?

    Dim bool As Boolean

    Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInput(ByVal buffer As Input0Buffer)

    bool = buffer.NextRow

    MsgBox("Case1:" & bool)

    End Sub

    Public Overrides Sub PostExecute()

    MyBase.PostExecute()

    Me.Variables.case1 = bool

    End Sub

    Thanks and Regards,

    If this is script component used as a tranformation, Input0_ProcessInput will be called for each row, this could explain it running twice.

    Not sure how you will get it to fire for no rows? You might be better served with a row count component.

  • thank you very much for the response. I found the below post which gives details of how ssis sends data in multiple buffers. ProcessInput method is called once for each buffer.

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/435487/ssis-processinput-in-pipelinecomponent-gets-called-more-than-once

    getting the rowcount seems to be a more valid souution.

    thanks again

  • I know what that link said, but I can absolutely confirm that when I use script component as a transform that it is called Per Input Row, not per buffer.

    Are you sure it is not ProcessInputRow() that is called per row? I was using the ProcessInput() method.

  • whew, ok, yes, Thank You, and pardon my adding confusion!

    I have used ProcessInputROW plenty of times, that's what is stuck in my head.

    Sorry !
