Flat File Destination Multiple Delimiters

Hi Guys,
This might been an easy one for you. I need to find out if the data from a table can be loaded into a text file with multiple delimiters or not using SSIS? For example, if I have 2 columns of data from a table,
ID Name
100 Mark
I need to load this into a flat file and the output should be like this
100,@Mark
So basically, I need to have 2 delimiters in the flat file destination namely "," and "@". How can this be done.
Thanks in advance.

Can't you just fill in two delimiters in the Column Delimiter field of the Flat File Connection Manager (never tried it)?
Alternatives:
-In the source query add a @ to the second column: select column1,
'@' + column2 as column2 from yourTable
-Add a Derived Column with an expression that adds a @ in front of column2: "@" + [column2]

  • Create a flat file with multiple characters for enclosures

    Hello,
    we use OWB 11g2 (11.2.02).
    Now we try to create a flat file with multiple characters for enclosures. The manual wrote:
    "Enclosures (Left and Right): Some delimited files contain enclosures that denote text strings within a field. If the file contains enclosures, enter an enclosure character in the text box or select one from the list. The list displays commonenclosures. However, you may enter any character. The default for both the left and right enclosure is the double quotation mark ("). You can specify multiple characters and hexadecimal characters as field enclosures."
    But it will not work. The OWB use the first character from the left enclosure definition as left enclosure and the second one as right enclosure !?!
    Did anyone know this behavior? Is there a solution for this problem?
    Thanks and regards
    Norbert

    HI Raghu,
               Use the function module 'GUI_UPLOAD'.
               In that you have to specify the field_separator value = 'X' in export section.

  • [Flat File Destination [220]] Error: Failed to write out column name for column "Column 2"

    I am using SSIS to extract fixed width data into a flat file destination and I keep getting below error. I have tried almost everything in this forum but still no solution. can anyone help me out to solve this problem.

    Hi Giss68,
    Could you check the Advanced tab of the Flat File Connection Manager to see whether the InputColumnWidth and the OutputColumnWidth properties of the Column2 has the same value? Please refer to the following link about the same topic:

  • Dynamic Column Names in Flat File Destination

    Hello,
    Inside a Data Flow Task, I have an ADO.Net data source which executes a stored procedure that provides results in 5 columns.
    The requirement is to have it connect to a flat file destination, such that the column names is dependent on what data was pulled by the data source. There is a variable indicator which identifies the data that was pulled. For example:
    If the indicator is 0, then the columns names will be A,B,C,D,E. Otherwise, if the indicator is 1, then column names will be V,W,X,Y,Z.
    Any suggestions will be of great help.
    AJ

    If you only have two variations then use a branched execution (based on precedence constraints) and direct it to one DFT or another based on the result returned by the stored procedure.
    Otherwise use .net
    code to create one package or another dynamically.
    PS: I suggest not to bother using SSIS for such a simplistic scenario.

    in this case how could I separate the header lines from the flat file and update the details to my internal table.
    kindly help me on this issue.
    Thanks and regards,
    M.S.Amirtharajvijay.

    Hi Amirthraj,
    If the flat file is static (if the content within it is same for all) then use the offset concept. First get the contents of the flat file into an internal table and later find the field that has to be in final internal table within the line, calculate the offset for the line and get the value into an workarea. Finally modify/append the work area into an internal table. Also wait for other experts answers for any other hassle free way to achieve the requirement.

  • Flat file destination error

    hi
    i am adding new field to my existing package which is char(10).
    getting this error:
    [Flat File Destination [139]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "MEMBER_ID" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
    i right click flat file destination->i only see external and input column over there,
    there is no output column.
    in flat file connection mamanger ->outputcolumn->its char(10)
    what needs to be change here?

    Hi coool_sweet,
    According to your description, you are trying to add a new source column to a flat file in an existing package.
    Based on the error message, the issue should be caused by text was truncated when load new column to column "Column1" in Flat File Destination. Because the length of new column data should be more than 10 (with some junk values) in the Source,
    while you are trying to convert the column to 10 as the character length.
    To fix this issue, we can increase the length of column "Column1" in Flat File Connection Manager. Alternatively, if you still want to convert the new column to a column with length 10, we can right-click the Source component to select “Show Advanced
    Editor”, then go to tab 'input and output properties' to expand the output column corresponds to the column "Column1", change TrancationRowDiposition property to RD_IgnoreFailure.
    Besides, the issue can also be caused by using some special characters in the new column. We can check the Unicode checkbox on the right hand side of Locale property in Flat File Connection Manager to fix this issue. For more details, please see the following
    thread:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/d3605656-4a13-47b6-b96e-45379e2b2a9f/export-to-flat-file-with-unicode-chinese-characters?forum=sqlintegrationservices

  • Flat file Destination VS Raw file Destination ??

    Team ,
    Can some help me understand few differences and similarities  between Flat File Destination and Raw File Destination ? Thanks in advance .
    Rajkumar Yelugu

    Hi,
    Please check these differences :-
    Flat File Destination: The Flat File Destination component writes data out to a text file in one of the standard flat-file formats: delimited, fixed width, fixed width with row delimiter.
    Raw File Destination: The Raw File Destination is all about raw speed. It is an entirely native format and can be exported and imported more rapidly than any other connection type, in part because the data doesn’t need to pass through a connection
    manager.

  • Reorder columns in Flat File Destination

    Hi Friend's
    Although, I did some google in order to find the solution for reording the columns before exporting to a text file using FLAT FILE DESTINATION, one of the work around which i found is editing the final package xml file and moving the DTS:FlatFileColumn
    fields as required.
    Is there any other solution in order to avoid this approach as I have some 40 fields to be displayed in text file and manually reordring these fields in xml would be cumbersome.
    I need to create  text file using FLAT FILE DESTINATION.

    SSIS Data flow doesn't support dynamic metadata, and any changes in metadata like re-arrange mappings should be done manually. if you want to have columns in a re-arrange design which could be re-mapped dynamically and simply it is better to looks for
    another way than data flow task, dynamic t-sql queries can be good alternative.

  • Header in flat file destination (ssis)

    Hi
    I am creating a header in the flat file destination which has some hard coded values and record count which will get its value from a variable assisgned to a row count transformation in the package.
    There is no problem in hard coded value but when i try to get the value of record count, i always get zero.
    This is how i am doing it.
    In the flat file destination, when we open flat file destination editor, i hard code the values which i want in the HEADER itself right there in the editor.
    For the record count, i go properties of the flat file and select expression. In the expression editor, in property, i am selecting 'HeaderRowDelimiter' and drag that variable in the expression box.
    Let me know if there is any suggestion.
    Thanks

    The value of the rowcount is only known AFTER the Data Flow Task is completely finished... and there header is writen before that.
    Here are some examples:

  • Dynamic Header Values in Flat File Destination

    Hi,
    I have to put 'T' or 'P' as part of a header in a flat file destination. The header is sourced via a work table which defines what the header looks like. One of the columns should contain 'T' for test or 'P' for production. When the package is executed in
    the test environment, 'T' should appear as part of the header. When the package is executed in the production environment, 'P' should appear as part of the header.
    Any ideas on how to achieve this is very much welcome.
    Thanks,
    AJ

    Package parameter indicating the environment and a DerivedColumn transform that generates a column with T or P depending on the parameter value.

  • Flat File with multiple record types (OWB 10.2.0.2)

    Hi!
    I`m using OWB 10.2.0.2 and I`m trying to load a flat file with multiple record types, using SQL LOADER.
    In the flat file editor in the Record tab, I`ve set the type values and the corresponding record names like this:
    Type Value Record Name
    ======== ===========
    T TRAILER
    0 DETAILS
    1 DETAILS
    2 DETAILS
    When using this flat file in a mapping to load the data in a staging table, the generated code looks like this:
    INTO TABLE TRAILER
    TRUNCATE
    REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
    WHEN (1:1) = 'T'
    INTO TABLE DETAILS
    APPEND
    REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
    WHEN (1:1) = '0,1,2'
    The above clause (WHEN (1:1) = '0,1,2') is wrong as I expect one "INTO TABLE..." clause for each record type.
    Could this be a bug or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks a lot for your help,
    Yorgos

    We`re using two target tables, one for the trailer record and the other for the details records.
    We are facing this problem from the moment we upgraded from OWB 10.1 to OWB 10.2.0.2, so we think it must be something with the way the sql loader code is generated in the new version.
    As our data sources are mainly flat files coming from mainframes, this is a huge problem for us. We even asked an expert in DW from Oracle to help us on this, but still haven`t found a solution.
    Is there any workaround for this or should we forget sql loader and go with an external tables + custom PL/SQL code solution?
    Your help is greatly appreciated Jean-Pierre.

    Yorgos

  • How to create a dynamic SSIS package for multiple flat file destinations

    Hi,
    I have to create a ssis package which has single data flow task and inside that I have 23 source (sql- select * from - statements)- destination (flat files, 23 distinct) connection.
    Now for each product I have to create separate SSIS package (i.e. if prod=abc then these read select * from abc_tables and 23 abc_ txt files)
    I want to do it dynamically, means only single package and inside that variables will take select * values for each source-dest connection (so i believe 23 variables) and same for destination flat files.
    Let me know. :)
    ANK HIT - if reply helps, please mark it as ANSWER or helpful post

    Sorry It seems you're contradicting yourself. you say I know my source and dest structure and the you're
    asking all I want is to have a dynamic structure
    what does that mean?
    and reading your next sentence
    I want to run a package for 5 products, instead of creating 5 ssis packages with 23 source- dest connection, I would
    like to have one with only 23 source- dest connections 
    What I feel is what you're looking for is to  have a looping structure to loop through each of the 5
    products.
    In that case what you could do is this
    1. Create a object variable in SSIS 
    2. Use a Execute SQL Task to populate the variable with all available products (I think you'll have a master table for that). Set ResultSet property to Full ResultSet and then in ResultSet tab map Object variable to 0 th index
    3. use a ForEachLoop container with ADO .NET recordset enumerator and map to object variable. Create a variable of datatype same as that of Product identifier field to get individual values out
    4. Inside loop create your data flow task with 23 source destination connection. In the query part use a parameter for product field and map it to the variable containing product value to get only data for the product.

  • How to handle flat file with variable delimiters in the file sender adapter

    Hi friends,
    I have some flat files in the ftp server and hope to poll them into XI, but before processing in XI, I hope to do some content conversion in the file sender adapter, according to the general solution, I just need to specify the field names, field seperator, end seperator, etc. But the questions is:
    The fileds in the test data may have different amount of delimiters (,), for example:
    ORD01,,,Z4XS,6100001746,,,,,2,1
    OBJ01,,,,,,,,,,4,3     
    Some fileds only have 1 ',' as the delimiter, but some of them have multiple ','.
    How can I handle it in the content conversion?

  • Import flat file to multiple tables based on identifier column

    Hello,
    I am trying to setup a package that will import one pipe-delimited flat file (a utility bill) to multiple data tables based on the value of the first column.  I have been told it is similar in format to an EDI file, but there are some differences.
    The number of columns is consistent where the first columns are the same.  Meaning a record that has '00' in the first column will always have 10 columns; a record that has '01' in the first column will always have 9 columns; etc.
    Each value in the first column represents a separate destination data table.  Meaning a record that has '00' in the first column should be output to table '00'; a record that has '01' in the first column should be output to table '01'; etc.  All
    destination tables reside on the same SQL Server.
    Identifier columns can repeat multiple times throughout the flat file.  Meaning a record that starts with '01' may be repeated multiple times in the same.
    Sample Data:
    00|XXXXXXXX|XXX|XXXXXXXX|XXXXXX|XXXX|X|XXXXXXXXXX|XX|XXXXX
    01|XXXXXXXXXXX|XXX|XXXXXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXX|XXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    02|XXXXXXXXXXX|XXXXXXXX|XXXXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX
    04|XXXXXXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXXXXX|XXX|XXXXXXXX
    05|XXXXXXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXXXXX|XXX|XXXXXXXX|XXXX
    07|XXXXXXXXXXXXX|X|XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|XXX|XXXXXXXX|XXXX|XXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXXX
    07|XXXXXXXXXXXXX|X|XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|XXX|XXXXXXXX|XXXX|XXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXXX
    07|XXXXXXXXXXXXX|X|XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|XXX|XXXXXXXX|XXXX|XXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXXX
    07|XXXXXXXXXXXXX|X|XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|XXX|XXXXXXXX|XXXX|XXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXXX
    01|XXXXXXXXXXX|XXX|XXXXXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXX|XXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    02|XXXXXXXXXXX|XXXXXXXX|XXXXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX|XXXXX
    04|XXXXXXXXXXX|XXXXXXXXXXXXX|XXX|XXXXXXXX
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi koldar.308,
    If there are few distinct values in the first column, we can use Flat File Source connect to that flat file, then use Conditional Split Transformation to split the first column to multiples, and then load the data to multiple tables with OLE DB Destination
    based on the outputs of Conditional Split.
    After testing the issue in my environment, please refer to the following steps to achieve this requirement:
    Drag a  Flat File Source connect to that flat file with Flat File Connection Manager.
    Drag a Conditional Split Transformation connects to the Flat File Source.
    Double-click the Conditional Split Transformation, add several Output based on the first column values as below:
    Drag same number OLE DB Destinations as the outputs of Conditional Split, connect to Conditional Split with one case output:
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
