  Hi,

  In my SSIS package , I have changed one of table column name from upper case to lower case for Ex."EMPLOYEEID" to "employeeid".

  After changing case i am facing an error as "Error: "component "OLE DB Destination" (16)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA"."

  I am aware that SSIS is case Sensitive.Total 500+ data flow task are there in my SSIS package which i can't change manually as going into data flow task and update the metadata mapping.

  I am looking for solution to resolve this problem or else any work around for to skip the case sensitivity in metadata.

  Thanks,

  Revan

  You have a package containing more than 500 dataflows?

  Take a copy of your package, then open the copy in a decent text editor.

  Do a case-sensitive find/replace for the modified column name, then open the package & see whether it works.

  If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.

  No.

  Now I suggest you change your sentence to: "I don't know how to do find/replace 500 times in an efficient and fast way".

  As you have only 1 package, you need do it only once.

  If you typed your thread wrongly and actually have multiple packages, you need to find a tool which will go through all of them and do the find/replace for you.

  If you haven't even tried to resolve your issue, please don't expect the hard-working volunteers here to waste their time providing links to answers which you could easily have found yourself.
