Cache Transform (81) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC0208246

  • I am using SQL 2008 BIDS.

    I am tying to cache transform a simple XLS spreadheet containing les than 1mb of data. When i execute the package it fails with the error code mentioned above...looking up the code says that it means it is unable a to create a workspace buffer.

    Anyne have any ideas on what the issue maybe??

    Thanks,

  • What is the value of the MaxMemoryUsage property on the Cache Transform?

  • hmmm i dont see a 'MaxMemoryUsage' property in the Cache Transform property window.

    Within the Data Flow properties containing the Cache Transform there is the 'DefaultBufferMaxRows' and 'DefaultBufferSize' those are set to 10000 and 10485760...respectively.

  • Nevermind...memory failed me there...

  • FYI - for anyone who gets this issue....i think theres a bug with using the Excel Source Data flow component with the Cache Transform component.

    When i switched out the Excel Source with a Flat File component it worked.

  • Hi Experts,

    I have the same problem., I used excel sheet as source to use cache transform and could not able to execute it. The same data works fine when using flat file. This could be a problem in SSIS design.

    Am using WIN 7 64 bit. So , i have set Run64bitruntime to False and checked Delayvalidations as true. Still the problem is same.

    I will try again with .xls format and post back if it executes successfully.:-)

    Thank you

  • Hi all,

    I have found the solution. I used excel 97-2003 format i.e., .xls it is working fine.

    as mentioned in the above mail.. check the properties make Run64bitRuntime(right click on project,select properties and debugging) to false and delayvalidation to true

    I think the problem SSIS is not considering excel 2007 i.e., .xlsx format. Rest it is fine.

    If any comments or doubts please post your reply.

    Thank you and Best Regards,
