Bcp doesnt throw an error when the data length exceeds size of the column

Hi,
We are using bcp in SQL 2008 R2 to import the data from flat file. When the data length exceeds the size of the column, it doesn't throw any error instead it has ignored the row.
Please suggest me how to truncate and load the data into table.
Thanks,
Pasha

Hi Pasha,
According to your description, you want to import the data from flat file to SQL Server table with truncated data in SQL Server 2008 R2. To achieve your requirement, we can use Import and Export wizard. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
Launch SSMS by clicking SQL Server Management Studio from the Microsoft SQL Server program group.
Right click on the destination database in the Object Explorer, select Tasks, then Import Data from the context menu to launch the Import Wizard.
Choose Flat File Source as Data Source, then browser to the flat file.
Choose SQL Server Native Client 10.0 as Destination, then select the destination database.
Click Edit Mappings button to change column size or other properties.
Finish the processing.
For the example about how to use Import and Export wizard, please refer to the blog below:

  • CF 8 CFPDF "Merged" document throws 131 Error when opened in Acrobat

    We are using CF 8 on Windows Server 2003 platform.
    Any CFPDF "Merged" documents are throwing 131 Errors when opened in Acrobat
    Tried re-saving the documents on local machine and still same problem. Tried opening in multiple versions of Acrobat, same problem.
    Individual documents created are opening without issue. It is Only when these documents are merged that this error occurs.
    We do not experience this behavior in our CF 10 environment.
    We are a Big, Slow moving enterprise here so not much chance of getting our CF 10 environments promoted to meaningful production use soon.
    Found virtually nothing in HelpX and nothing online of any value regarding this issue.
    Has anyone else experienced the issue noted in the title of this discussion?
    Has anyone a work around or solution?

    I am getting the same error even in Acrobat version 8.1.3.
    Additionally, I noticed that if we click on menu ‘Advanced->Sign&Certify->Preview Document’, then we get a notification as “This document is not PDF/SigQ compliant and may display inconsistently”. On clicking  ‘View report’ on that notification, the below dialog pops up. It has errors listed as:-
    Code 4000 : Unrecognized PDF content. The document contains PDF content or custom content not supported by the current version of Acrobat.
    Code 4002: PDF content contains erros.
    However, if we sign the PDF using default adobe signature functionality and reopen that PDF, the error does NOT come and the notification also says ‘This document is PDF/SigQ compliant’.
    Can anybody please suggest what could be missing in the custom sign that we apply? Is it because of any of the missing fonts or any other resources?
    Awaiting reply!
    Regards.

  • Error when reading data in to ArrayCollection using HTTPService

    Hi,
    I am trying to read data in to ArrayCollection using HTTPService result property:
    [Bindable] private var myData:ArrayCollection=new ArrayCollection();
       private function result_handler(e:ResultEvent):void
            myData = e.result.root.contact;

       </mx:HTTPService>
    I am getting the following error when there is no "contact" record in the xml root:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    Also I am getting the following error when there is only ONE  "contact" record in the xml root:
    TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.utils::ObjectProxy@280c9ca1 to mx.collections.ArrayCollection.
    And it works fine when there is two or more "contact" records in the xml root.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    I am getting the following error when there is no "contact" record in the xml root:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
         You'll be getting this error because it's trying to access nodes that don't exist;
         there are no 'contact' records, thus when it tries to access node 'root.contact', it doesn't exist, hence it's receiving NULL when it's expecting      something
    Also I am getting the following error when there is only ONE  "contact" record in the xml root:TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.utils::ObjectProxy@280c9ca1 to mx.collections.ArrayCollection.
    And it works fine when there is two or more "contact" records in the xml root.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks
          When there is only 1 value, it'll be returned as an object (Arrays are used for multiple items). So it throws an error as it isn't expecting a single           object, it wants an Array.
         This is also why when it returns 2+ records, there is no error. Multiple results will be returned as an Array, what your flex app was expecting.
         My initial guess to solve the first problem would be similar to Greg's, although i'm guessing you'd want;
        if(e.result != null){
         instead of
         if(e.result.root.contact != null){
        as you'd initially want to check if anything was returned in the result, rather than checking to see if a certain node exists.
         If you attempt to see if a certain node isn't null, and the node doesn't exist, it'll probably throw another #1009
         For the #1034 error, you'll have to check to see how many results were returned, as Madhav has described for you.

  • Why do I keep getting an unknown error when trying to download an app from the app store on my iPod touch 4th generation when I put in the correct password?

    I keep getting the same unknown error has occurred when trying to download an app what is wrong?

    as an example.. from the sprint forum for a different device (unsure what device.. it's just not an iphone since no iphone or ios device has these settings -- ive seen this advice several times and I believe it's some form of android.. but not sure)
    advice from the carrier advisor --
    "Clear data in the Dialer and Dialer storage.... under manage Applications> All.
    That is Settings - Applications - Choose All to view All choices - then find Dialer and clear the Data. Repeat this for the Dialer Storage as well. I personally also deleted the message thread first from the text message window and my log history which is a menu item from your call screen."
    and another for you from a customer -- it is sprint again.. but this time a Samsung Epic
    "OMG ... if someone can't tell me how to fix this "9230: Message sent using invalid number of digits..." error, I'm going to scream.  My husband and I both have Sprint Epic phones and love them EXCEPT for this one problem! Help!"
    Maybe they should sue Samsung?

  • Error when assigning SID while uploading text in the info-object of the DSO

    Hi
    I have a scenario where I need to extract a char 60 field from R/3 in the DSO.
    I have created the info-object which is char 60 which has the master data text activated.
    In the DSO transformation I have mapped it to the R/3 field.
    While activating the data in DSO its giving the error message
    'Value '20 per action plan' (hex. '32302070657220616374696F6E20706C616E') of characteristic'
    'Error when assigning SID: Action VAL_SID_CONVERT InfoObject ZRMSD '
    How to overcome this issue.
    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance.

    Change the InfoObject for this text so that it will allow lowercase letters. To do this, go into Change mode on the InfoObject, go to the General tab, check the Lowercase letters checkbox and activate the InfoObject. After this has been activated, you can then restart your process and this SID violation error should no longer be thrown for this.
    If you don't want to do this, then you can use the TOUPPER formula in the Characteristic Routine, in the Transformation, to change the value of this field contents to uppercase. This can also be done by using an ABAP routine like this:
    TRANSLATE column TO UPPER CASE.

  • Error when loading data

    Hi,
    Please need help!
    I get a strange error message when loading data from R/3 to BW. A lot of rows in the PSA get red with following description (I don't recognize the object REQUESTER):
    "InfoObject REQUESTER does not contain alpa-conforming value 3511"
    The help says:
    "Diagnosis                                                              
    The system checked whether the loaded InfoObject

    Forexample:

                                                             If you cannot correct the problem, you have the option of removing the conversion exit on the InfoObject. However, since the system has already been converted, duplicates appear in the system again.

    Senor Roberto
    I seem to have similar problem, the ALPHA conversion is existent at my Infoobject level and in my Comm Struc but not in mY Transfer_Structure/Transfer_Rules_.
    I have already been running loads from ods to data target no problem and now out of a sudden the error msg
    Err mess: "The value '1' was loaded into an InfoObject with alpha exit, even though the value '0000000001' was expected", appears.
    I have tried removing alpha conversion from info object as u have recommended, and I have transported to QA but in QA the infooject status color is grey and it dosen't allow me to activate what should i do? What i would really like is to load ods data to data target without ever seeing this error again .
    Any thoughts

  • Error when extracting data with extractor 2lis_04_matnr - NEED HELP ASAP !!

    Hi experts!
    Got an error when extracting data with extractor 2lis_04_matnr.
    System says (short dump):
    DUMP TEXT START----
    Runtime error:    CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_TYPE
    Exception:   CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR
    Error when attempting to import object "MC04P_0MAT_TAB".
    The current ABAP program "SAPLMCEX" had to be terminated because one of the statements could not be executed. This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program. When attempting to import data, it was discovered that the data type of the stored data was not the same as that specified in the program.
    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was neither caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure  "MCEX_BW_LO_API" "(FUNCTION)".                                                                             
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception      
    to occur, the running program was terminated.                                
    The reason for the exception is:  When importing the object "MC04P_0MAT_TAB", the component no. 5 in the dataset has a different type from the corresponding component of the target object in the program "SAPLMCEX". <b>The data type is "D" in the dataset, but "C" in the program.</b>
    DUMP TEXT END----
    Please, can someone explain me how to solve it? 
    Really need help ASAP!

    Hi,
    If you are actually creating a BDC to load data pls be more specific.
    Data format incorrect. Tab delimited/ etc
    Dates in wrong formats
    Currency incorrect formats
    Missing screens
    Wrong transaction code
    File not found,

  • IR webclient: error when uncompressing data retrieved: *Data Error*!

    A small (?) number of IR webclient 931 installations we notice the next error when processing: " error when uncompressing data retrieved: *Data Error*! " It does not seem to be user or permission/provision related.
    Does anyone have an idea how to solve it. Reinstalling the IR webclient does not solve it.

    Hi there, I got to the point where I found the cause, but now I still need to solve it. perhaps anyone can give me a hint.
    931 bqy's are stored on server as zip files. (although they are renamed as *.1) On 832 they were stored as bqy files (although they were renamed to *.1 too).
    The clients which had the error message tried to open their 931 documents with the 832 plugin. Which does not have the capebility to uncompress the .1 file. In that perspective is the error message very obvious.
    We need to run both 832 intelligence plugin and the 931 webclient on the same client.
    How can we force that the corrcet version is used for openeing the docs?

    Hi
    Seems you have connectivity issues between the Source system and Bi system.
    You need to check whether you have data on R/3 side via RSA3 with Full / Delta Update Modes with Target System as your BI system.
    RSA13--Source System -- Right click Connection parameters/check/Restore/Activate again Say Replicate All Data Sources (If Possible , provided if you have time because it consumes lot of time )
    You need to check the tRFC Queue SM58/59 for any Stucks and WE19/20 for IDocs.
    Much of BASIS Issue .
    Hope it helps and clear

  • Error when using data postion delay

    I obtained this error when using data position delay. Can anyone please
    tell me the reason why I can not configure the delay to be between 0.7
    and 0.8.
    Possible reason(s):
    Driver Status:  (Hex 0xBFFA403F) Unable to configure requested delay property given the current clock rate.
    Ensure that the delay value specified is within the valid range for the
    frequency specified or do not configure property for delay operation.
    Device: PXI1Slot2
    Property: Data Position
    Sample Rate: 40000000.0
    Requested Value: 0.71875
    Supported Values: 0.000 through 0.200, 0.300 through 0.700, 0.800 through 1.000,
    Status Code: -219401

    Timothy,
    The 656x devices have a limit on the available data delay values based
    on frequency.  Between 25MHz and 50MHz there are "holes" in the
    available delay range.  Above 50MHz, the full 0 to 1 data delay is
    valid.  If you look in the specifications installed with NI HSDIO
    for the NI 656x, on page 7, Figure 1, there is an illustration showing
    how to compute what the valid range is for the frequency of interest.
    For example, at 40MHz, valid values are:
    0 to 0.2
    0.3 to 0.7
    0.8 to 1
    In the error message posted below, you tried to input a value of 0.71875 which is not within these ranges.

  • Re: Error when configuring Data Masking with workload masking in 12c

    Hello,
    Even I am facing a similar issue - error message displayed when trying for data-masking along with R.A.T. capabilities
    Can anybody help resolve this.
    Objective - Use Real Application Testing in combination with Test Data Masking Pack
    Current Setup
    I have a VM Box with Windows 2008 R2 Server OS Image
    Enterprise Manager 12c and Oracle 11g Database Instance Installed and configured on the same host.
    Have added one more Oracle Database Instance 11g Database instance into the Target Databases.
    while doing data masking, when i select the checkbox Ensure Workload Masking Compatibility i always get the error:
    "Workload masking is not supported by the target database chosen. You may need to apply a patch or move to a newer version of the database for workload masking."
    Can you please guide as to which patches / configurations need to added. I believe the Patches and Provisioning Wizard within EM will help on installing the requiredd patches.
    But I am not aware of which patch it is referring to.
    highly appreciate your help n guidance in this regards.

    Gosh! at last i found the solution!!
    I appreciate those who tried to help and i''m sharing the solution as i believe this is the purpose of SDN Forum and help others Netweaver Chap who facing the same problem:
    Problem faced:
    Extractor failed intermittently for WORKLOAD ANALYSIS (Introscope Data) due to error message "Error when opening an RFC connection"
    Due to the above error, performance data is not available in RCA workload analysis for J2EE engine.
    Possible Solution:
    1) Ensure both webadmin & SOLMANDIAG RFC working fine -> SM59 -> TCP/IP
    2) go to SE16 -> E2E_RESOURCES and change the resourcecap to 10 for SOLMANDIAG
    3) go to /smd/services -> Diagnostic System -> Advanced Setup -> Abap connectivity -> Connection Configuration and change server count to 10
    4) Restart webadmin (step 3 & 4 can perform in VA too)
    5) set gw/keepalive &  gw/reg_keepalive to value 0 in RZ11 (without reboot of instance)
    5) again go to SM59 -> TCP/IP -> SOLMANDIAG and put in the gateway host and gateway service correctly, don't leave this empty!!!! -
    > This is the main solution to solve intermittent failed RFC for extractor.
    Now, go back and monitor the extractor log and you should see no RFC error anymore and wait for 1 hour for the data to populate.
