SSIS Package Optimization

sqlusers — Wed, 08 May 2013 23:59:31 GMT

Folks,We are taking Oracle Source data using Data Flow Task in which Data Reader as Source [We have Separate DSN for this] and OLE DB as destination to store the same data into SQL Server table. There are some date condition from which we are extracting data.[b]EX: SELECT <COLUMN NAMES> FROM <TABLE> WHERE MODIFIED_DATE BETWEEN '2013-05-01 00:00:00.000' AND '2013-05-05 00:00:00.000' -- Actually it should returns 250 rows of record and we get so. [/b]If we using package level its taking nearly 30 to 35 minutes for extracting the data. But if i use Microsoft Query based on the same DSN [Using MS-Office Excel 2007 ODBC] it's taken only 05 minutes to get the data. Can i know are there any possible way how to optimize my SSIS package by using Data Reader/package level?

no matter how large the destination column eg. nvarchar(max), excel source choke on column

KoldCoffee — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:55:02 GMT

I'm using VS2010 BIDS, importing from Excel 97-2003 .xls worksheet. I've got the following config:Excel Source -> Conversion Split Transform -> OLE DB destination. As long as I exclude the column in question the package runs and all columns import. However, if I enable the mapping for the column in question the excel source chokes on it. The column in the source document contains letters, numbers, hash marks (#), and dollar signs($) etc. So, I have the destination column set to nvarchar(max) and have also tried nvarchar(255) up to nvarchar(800) but this column just won't import.Within excel I have tried setting the column in question from General to Text format with no improvement. Because excel source chokes on this particular column I have found that adding a data conversion transform and doing a redirect on failure after the excel source transform to be useless. Can you provide suggestions or explanation for what could be going on with this excel source column that makes ssis excel source transform choke on it???Thanks in advance:crying:

SSIS only shows MS VB .Net for available language

erikd — Fri, 17 May 2013 12:27:43 GMT

Hi,I'm trying to follow the instructions for this article:http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Integration+Services+(SSIS)/91665/I got to the part where I'm setting up the script task. The article says to use MS C#, but like the title says, I only have VB .Net. This is my first time touching SSIS, so I'm sort of clueless how to get it to detect or install other languages. Any suggestions? The web searches I've tried are too end up with a broad range of results that don't relate to my issue.Thanks

SSIS 2005 Delete a File in a Directory

SQL_Enthusiast — Fri, 17 May 2013 10:48:16 GMT

The file name is 000_FILE001_yyyymmdd.csv. Each day the package runs, the yyyymmdd changes. the file path is on a server and it is \\server\product\application\ssis\outbound\00\. I want to avoid having a human go to the location and delete the files on a daily basis. I would like the first task of the SSIS package to simply find ALL files in that directory that end *.csv and DELETE them...ALL. The file name will never change except for the date. So I really dont care how I go about the deletion, I just want it simple. It can be VB.net, Foreach Loop Container, etc. Whatever is simple. Please and thank you...I have tried this article, but the expression test screams at me because it can't convert DT_WSTR to DT_DATE.

SSIS Integration Task

prathibha_aviator — Wed, 08 May 2013 20:55:15 GMT

I have used SSIS a while ago where my requirement was to create a new table out of the excel sheet and name it as master table. I have updated the values of other tables using this master table and automated the whole process using sql server agent Jobs. But Now its a whole different scenario where I have an excel sheet in my local drive and I have my database in one of our test servers.. So Now I should use SSIS to map the columns of the excel sheet with the different existing tables in the database. I am little confused how I am supposed to map different columns from one spreadsheet to differnt columns of different tables..EXAMPLE:I have a database 'DATABASE'I have tables TABLE1, TABLE2, TABLE3and the spreadsheet SSSo My columns S1, S2, S3 in the Spreadsheet SS are matched to the columns C2 in TABLE1, C5 in TABLE2 and C1 in TABLE3. There is a relationship between all the tables though.. Like C3 is common in all the above tablesMy job is to update all the columns accordingly with values in the excel sheetPlease let me know if i can accomplish the above criteria using SSIS and if so, any ideas???

Paramater in AS400 Source

Welsh Corgi — Tue, 14 May 2013 07:50:08 GMT

Currently I have an SSIS Package Truncates a Holding Table. Loads all of the records from an AS400 Table using an OLE DB Source & Destination.Then it performs a performs and loads it into a Staging Table.What I believe that I need to do is add an Execute SQL Task that gets that max DateWritten (AS400) format which has an output parameter and store it in a variable.Then I need to Execute a Select against the AS400 Table and pass the variable DateWritten to the Where Clause.I know I can't do this with an OLE DB Source Task but can I do it with the OLE DB Command?If so does anyone know of any articles on how to accomplish this?I seem to recall doing this in DTS many years ago.

Flat file import gives Null value in destination table

jdbrown239 — Fri, 10 May 2013 07:12:36 GMT

I have two columns in a flat file that have 1's and 0's for data in both columns. SSIS is pulling both columns in as string [DT_STR] and the desination table columns are both [SCORECARD_ELIGIBLE] [varchar](50) NULL, [BR_SBRILESE] [varchar](50) NULL. When the import is complete I get the expected 1's and 0's in [SCORECARD_ELIGIBLE] but null's in [BR_SBRILESE]. Has anyone seen this before? Both columns have the same input data but one gets nulls and the other doesn't.

SSIS and MIMER

Karl McIntyre — Tue, 07 May 2013 02:01:37 GMT

Hi, I have to copy some data on a nightly bassis from a MIMER database hosted on a UNIX platform. However as the MIMER engine is so old i can not use the ADO.Net connectors for mimer. The only way i can create a connection is VIA ODBC, but if i use the ado.net connectors for ODBC, retrieving data is painfully slow, even if i compare this to a straight forward linked server connection using OLEDB for ODBC drivers. Is there another angle I could take for this?Thanks,Karl McIntyre

Exporting Multiple SSIS packages from MSDB

SSIS - Truncation Warnings

BPH — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:25:32 GMT

I have created a package to import data into a table that has been created per a data dictionary. I used Bryan Knight's book as a guide to get everything set up and am confident with that part. The package runs when I sart debugging, and it appears to be going through all the rows in the text file, then it ends without inserting any rows, and I see a list of Truncation warnings pertaining to 66 columns in the rows under the progress tab. My data flow task finishes successfully, although no rows make it into the table. Several of these warnings appear:[Load alphaData [346]] Warning: Truncation may occur due to inserting data from data flow column "Gl Co Cd" with a length of 50 to database column "GL_CO_CD" with a length of 5. Any thoughts? Thanks, bph

Merge records in a sorted order in SSIS.

Learner093 — Fri, 03 May 2013 09:37:03 GMT

I have a set of record types saying TH as Header and T1a, T1b, T1c, T1d, T1e, T2a, T2b, T2c, T2d, T2e as other type of records. TH table has a SortKey column with values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. All these record types are tied by a column called RecordID. The output fashion I desire is below having corresponding number of records listed under associated TH record:RecordType RecordID SortKey TH 3678 1 T1a 3678 T1b 3678 T1e 3678 TH 2455 2T1c 2445 T2d 2445 TH 4522 3T2d 4522 The SortKey order has to be maintained in 1, 2, 3 fashion in output file, and keeping all the record types tied by RecordID because the output file has to be read in the order of SortKey. I am doing this all in SSIS using Merge task to have the records merged as TH ->T1a ->T1b....Thank you for you help!

Script to open encrypted, dynamic excel files

Lrobinson 93181 — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 09:04:31 GMT

Hi I need a script for my SSIS package that will open my encrypted excel file, that has a dynamic filename ending in "mmddyyyy". I have a powershell script that will open and reset the password, but I think I would prefer a vb script that will open the file and remove the password (or maybe not as long as I can extract the data while it is open?) as I will likely set it up as a SQL job to extract and send to sql daily. Any insight greatly appreciated!Thanks,Lorna

SSIS Execute SQL Task with String Output Parameter problem, using ADO.NET

steve lord — Thu, 02 May 2013 10:04:35 GMT

Greetings ... SSIS newb here.I have an Execute SQL task using ado.net that successfully uses an output parameter that is an integer. What I really want, however, is for the output parameter to be a string. I've been banging my head against the wall for a couple of days on this now. I'm using VS 2008, sp1 against SQL Server 2005.However, when I change the (1) parameter in the sproc to a varchar(250) and (2) in the SSIS variable to a string, defaulting the value to MyOutput, and (3) changing the datatype from Int32 to String in the Execute SQL Task Editor Parameter Mapping I get an error that's not too terribly informative: "A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.For testing, I've set the string output to a constant making sure there's no issues with Null values. Any ideas about where I've gone wrong? Again, works fine when the output is an INT -- the STRING is giving me fits. I'd really prefer not to use OLE_DB. I know that I could always use a resultset but it's now a personal mission to make this work! :-)Thanks so much for any thoughts or ideas.-Steve

Problem with connection argument in CMDEXEC command

rburko — Wed, 01 May 2013 12:41:12 GMT

I'm putting this under the SQL Server 2005 Integration Services subject because I'm trying to execute a package using a SQL Server Agent Job and I can't get the change I need to make to work.To make a long story short, I have to use the "Operating System(CmdExec)" type when using the SQLl Server Agent Job because my package uses Excel and I have to access the 32-bit DTExec.exe. I'm having trouble with my package database connections, in all likelihood related to the lack of a password in the connection string. So, I went to the Execute Package Utility (DTExecUI), added a password to the connection string under the connection managers, went to the command line, saw that the connection command was there ("How nice," I thought, "DTExecUI did all the work for me"), tested everything (everything ran just fine), copied the command line text, then pasted the part I needed into the command of my SQL Server Agent Job. But it didn't work.Here is an example of my command:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe" /FILE "D:\MyFile\MyPackage.dtsx" /DECRYPT "mypassword"/[b]CONNECTION "My Connection String Name"[/b];"\"Data Source=MyServer;User ID=myuserid;pwd=thepassword;Initial Catalog=MyCatalog;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Persist Security Info=True;Auto Translate=False;\"" /CONNECTION "MySecond.Connection.String";"\"Data Source=MyServer;User ID=myuserid;pwd=thepassword;Initial Catalog=mycatalog;Persist Security Info=True;\"" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EWCDI And here is an example of the error message I'm getting from the agent job:Argument "My" for option "connection" is not valid. Process Exit Code 6. The step failed. So what's wrong? And why does it work when using DTExecUI? I seem to remember that in the past I've had to edit some apostrophes when using the DTExecUI command text in an agent job but I can't remember what I did. Or, is it that there are spaces in "My Connection String Name?" When I've tried to search for the correct syntax, there is paltry information available online.If I go back to my original command text without the database connection information, everything works fine (well, except for the password problem when trying to make the connection), so I don't believe this is a problem with running a command in a job Any ideas?

Problem in loading filenames through ForEachLoop container

Sachin Vaidya — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 04:24:48 GMT

Hi,I am using SSIS 2005 ForEachLoop container to pick the files from a location. My files have mainly 3 types of names. 1.XYZ_ra20130406289018wb_59815.NOR2.XYZ_a201304300926hbv0_58099.NOR3.XYZ_ca20130406289012vq_8.NORI have configured the ForEachLoop accordingly by providing appropriate variable name as into 'directory' property (in collection) and set the variable mapping to a variable which will store the filename for each file.I am storing the file names in a table. The problem is, I could store only single type of filenames (starting with XYZ_a) and not the other types which are starting with XYZ_ra and XYZ_ca. Any inputs on where I am making any mistake will be very helpful.Regards. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Downgrade SSIS 2008 package to 2005

R.P.Rozema — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 01:40:26 GMT

I developed and tested 3 .dtsx packages in my development environment using Visual Studio 2008 v9.0.30729.4462 QFE, not realising that the servers these packages should be run on are still SQL server 2005. How do I make these packages created using Visual Studio 2008 with SQL Server Integration Services installed run on SQL server 2005 ?The error messages I get when trying to execute the packages on SQL 2005 are:[code="other"]The version number in the package is not valid. The version number cannot be greater than current version number.Package migration from version 3 to version 2 failed with error 0xC001700A "The version number in the package is not valid. The version number cannot be greater than current version number".Error loading value "<DTS:Property xmlns:DTS="www.microsoft.com/SqlServer/Dts" DTS:Name="PackageFormatVersion">3</DTS:Property>" from node "DTS:Property".[/code]The servers can not be upgraded to SQL 2008, so I need a way to get my packages saved in a format acceptable for SQL 2005.Thanks a lot.

SSIS Importing A Null DateTime Problem

markwnorsoft — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 12:53:00 GMT

Hi,

Im running SQL Server 2005 and having a problem importing a text file using SSIS.

I was using DTS to import an ASCII text file into a table in SQL 2000. The table has 2 fields: a primary key varchar(10), and a DateTime field which can be null. Everything was working fine with DTS, if the text file's date field was emtpy, i.e. (~20070914BM~, ), a Null value was placed in the table.

After I migrated to SSIS, the table shows a value of 1753-01-01 00:00:00.000 instead of a null value using the same text file as before. Scouring the net, I found that this value is the lowest possible value for a DateTime field.

To hopefully solve the problem, I tried making a new table with the same structure as the other table and manually entering in a record leaving the datetime null. Then using SSIS to export this value (from the new table) to a text file and importing that into the original table. It still loaded as 1753-01-01 00:00:00.000.

On the table structure, the default value of the DateTime field is set to use Null.

My question is why is it defaulting to this value and not using the null from the text file.

Thank you in advance.

Data Conversion error after redirect row on OLEDB Destination

rs80 — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:14:10 GMT

Using SQL Server 2008 Integration Services.In the oledb destination I have set data access mode as Table or View and have set a redirect row to a exception table. The field that I need to insert is type DT_STR and the exception table expects the field as DT_WSTR. So after the redirect row I added a Data Conversion to convert the field from DT_STR to DT_WSTR. But I get the error below:[Data Conversion [9010]] Error: Data conversion failed while converting column A to column B . The conversion returned status value 8 and status text "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".I tried to convert other columns from DT_STR to DT_WSTR, but get the same error. If I don't include any fields from the oledb destination and just sample text then the record gets inserted successfully in the exception table. Is there something I need to do the fields after a redirect row?When doing a table or view - fast load there are no issue with the data conversions.
