Compare particular Colums between 2 flat files in SSIS

Hi ,
I want to compare a particular columns bewtween files. if any columns values will mismatched , i need to stop my loading into table.
For example:( Before load into tables)
Flat file 1: Employee
Name   Location
M         India
C         USA
Flat File 2: Location
Location
India.
 here USA location is missing .so i need to do this validation before load in to my table. Please sugesst some solution on this.

Hi Marimuthu,
This thread should be helpful for you: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/d9a6ab7e-72cc-4e99-bfcf-101f9ee6106c/how-to-compare-two-flat-files-in-ssis?forum=sqlintegrationservices
You'll need to load the data from the files to a table and then use an SQL query to check them against eachother. From there you can either specify to end the job or only load the matching rows.

  • Ragged right with Flat file in SSIS for last column

    When I am importing from Flat file to OLEDB using DATA flow in SSIS,
    It has fixed length  for each column
    but last column had length of 20
    So I used for last column as {LF} and input width 0 & output width 20
    but facing problem of last column has showing more data in preview so I am missing some some records
    May I get any  solution
    Thanks

    Hi Madhu,
    I totally agree with Visakh. If your row delimiter is {CR}{LF}, you need to consider the two placeholders for the delimiter when defining the column length, that is to say you need to set the length of the last column to 22.

  • 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:

    IN SSIS...

    2.----->i dont know how many regions in my table....dynamically split into separate flat files ....
     pls help me.....thank u

    I think what you can do is this
    1. Do a query based on UNPIVOT to get the data as rows instead of columns
    For that you can use a query like this
    IF OBJECT_ID('temp') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE temp
    CREATE TABLE temp
    Country varchar(100),
    Val decimal(25,5)
    DECLARE @CountryList varchar(3000),@SQL varchar(max)
    SELECT @CountryList = STUFF((SELECT ',[' + Column_Name + ']' FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = '<SalesTableNameHere>' FOR XML PATH('')),1,1,'')
    SET @SQL= 'SELECT * FROM <SalesTableNameHere> t UNPIVOT (Val FOR Country IN (' + @CountryList + '))p'
    INSERT temp
    EXEC (@SQL)
    Once this is done you'll get data unpivoted to table
    Then you can use a execute sql task with query like above
    SELECT DISTINCT Country FROM Temp
    Use resultset option as full resultset and store the result to an object variable
    Then add a ForEach loop container with ADO enumerator and map to the object variable created above. Have variables inside loop to get inidvidual country values out.
    Inside loop place a data flow task. Use a variable to store source query , make EvaluateAsExpression true for it and set Expression as below
    "SELECT Val FROM Temp WHERE Country = " + @[User::LoopVariable]
    Where LoopVariable is variable created inside loop for getting iterated values
    Inside data flow task place a oledb source, choose option as  SQL command from variable and map to the above query variable.
    Link this to flat file destination create a flat file connection manager. Set a dynamic flat file connection using expression builder. Make it based on a variable and set variable to increment based on loop iteration
    The core logic looks similar to this
    http://visakhm.blogspot.ae/2013/09/exporting-sqlserver-data-to-multiple.html

  • Build daily Big flat file using SAP R/3 material master data

    Hi all,
    I must build an interface between SAP R/3 4.7 and an external application
    Daily a flat file must be generated contaning Material data in full exchange mode
    (volume 100 000 materials, <10 fields => ~ File of 30Mo)
    No complex mapping, only format mapping (Ex : Price quantity...)
    I don't know yet if I will use Idocs or BAPI to extract data. However, I'm sure I must use multiple inbound messages because of volume
    After reading documentation, I consider the both following solutions to manage it :
    1) A simple asynchronous interface with a file adapter in construction mode APPEND to build flat file progressively with arrival of SAP messages
    =>
    viable solution ?
    Is there problem of concurrent access to file in such a solution  ?
    (idocs or bapi data will be processed ones following the others )
    2) BPM Collecting and Bundling Messages - One Interface
    (Unlimited Loop with Deadline trigger correspondint to time I must build flat file)
    =>
    Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
    Which solution do you advise ?
    Is there another ?
    Last question : (more general one)
    In such scenario, I can't see XI-value added comparing a creation of flat file directly with R/3.
    I will generate a big number of idocs, use a big part of XI memory ...
    Can you give me your opinion about it ?
    Thanks a lot
    Best regards

    Hi Jean-Charles,
    >>>volume 100 000 materials, <10 fields => ~ File of 30Mo
    You have a performance task...
    >>>Is there problem of concurrent access to file in such a solution ?
    No, the adapter framework has its own queueing, the message would be stored and executed later. If sequence is important, you can use EOIO as well.
    >>>BPM Collecting and Bundling Messages - One Interface
    BPM is not required in your case, you should avoid becoz of performance task. You can append at file adapter, no problem. Bundling and splitting is even possible at Integration Server without BPM.
    >>>Each SAP message is a small message but the outbound XML will represent a 30 Mo flat file => Is it a problem ??
    Avoid using BAD words

  • Export multiple tables into one flat file

    I have data in multiple tables on a processing database that I need to move up to a production database. I want to export the data into a flat file, ftp it to the production server and have another job pick up the file and process it. I am looking for
    design suggestions on how to get multiple tables into one flat file using SSIS?
    Thank You.

    Hey,
    Without a bit more detail, as per Russels response, its difficult to give an exact recommendation.
    Essentially, you would first add a data flow task to your control flow.  Create a source per table, then direct the output of each into an union all task.  The output from the union all task would then be directed to a flat file destination.
    Within the union all task you can map the various input columns into the appropriate outputs.
    If the sources are different, it would probably be easiest to add a derived column task in-between the source and the union all, adding columns as appropriate and setting a default value that can be easily identified later (again depending on your requirements).
    Hope that helps,
    Jamie

  • FIXED CURRENCY in FLAT FILE

    Please, need help urgently!!!
    I have a flat file with AMOUNT field without any currency field, because there is FIXED currency in flat file.
    In DataTarget (InfoCube) I have AMOUNT with CURRENCY.
    Got error while creating transformation between Flat File DataSource and InfoCube - Currency must be assigned.
    How can I point in Transformation FIXED CUREENCY. It is stupid but I don't see 0CURRENCY in Target object list, just in rule details for AMOUNT. What's why I can't assign CONST currency to the 0CURRENCY object...
    Should I somehow create and fill Currency field in DataSource?
    or
    Somehow point fixed currency value during transoframtion??

    Hi,
    Write a transfer rule for currency unit make it as constant like 'INR'
    r 'USD'..........etc...
    hope it will help u...........

  • Flat  File to InfoCube Load Issue

    Hello All,
                  I am newbie in the SAP BW land. Probably a simple question to BW Experts.
    This is crude implementation of the Fu and Fu example.
    Environment SAP  BW 7.0
    Iam trying to load a flat file to the Info Cube.
    1. I am able to successfully preview the data from the data sources
    2. Also able to load the data to the PSA, which i see from PSA maintenance screen
    Issue arises when i try to load the data to the Info Cube by running the DTP Process, it just does not load the data.
    I ma unable to figure of what the issue is
    Following the structure of the Flat File with 1 line of data
    Day      Unit of Measure     Customer ID     Meterial Number     Sales Representative ID     Sales Office     Sales Region     Price of Material     Sales quantity     Sales revenue     Currency
    20100510     gms     1122334455     92138     9710274     Chicago     NorthEast     890     50     928     USD
    Following is the structure of the Info Cube
    Characteristics
    Time
    Unit
    Customer ID
    Material Number
    Sales Representative ID
    Sales Office
    Sales Region

    Sales quantity     
    Sales revenue
    --- also where can i find a data flow diagram or steps of what needs to be done to design a standard cube loading process
    Please tell me where am I  going wrong.

    II think i made progress but i still do not see the data in the InfoCube
    When i visit the PSA by
    visiting the source system -> Manage PSA -> Select the line item -> PSA Maintenance-> I see the record completely like this
    @5B@     1     1     05/10/2010     GMS     1,122,334,455     92,138     9,710,274     CHICAGO     NORTHEAST     890     50     928
    But when i run the DTP Process i see the following error message
    I think this is due to a data type mismatch between flat file and the infocube.
    Please adivse
    Error I see is
    @5C@     No SID found for value 'GMS ' of characteristic 0UNIT     BRAIN     70     @35@     @3R@
    Also where can i click or extract the InfoCube structure in plain text so that i can post it on the forum for your better visibility

  • Adding semicolon at the end of text file in ssis

    Hi,
    I have created a flat file through ssis. My input is excel file. I have 21 columns in excel so when i created flat file with row deliminator as CR LF and column del as ; i got 20 semicolons total for 21 coloums which is guinine . but i need 21 ; for all
    21 coloumns.
    Current scenario (e.g)

    But i need 1;2;3;
    Can anybody help me please..Its really a business need and i need to do this
    Abhishek

    Abishek,
    You could try having a Derived Column task inbetween the Excel source and Flatfile destination.
    Add a derived column task
    Configure the new column name by giving a name and choose input as the last column anme of excel (col21)
    Use expression to add the ';' to the last column
    (DT_WSTR,100)column21 + ";"
    Then, map THIS new column to col21 of flatfile in the mappings tab of the flatfile destination task respectively.
    For more info on the Derived Column task, check:

  • 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.

  • Flat Files - Column Concantenation

    I was just wondering if anyone has ever written something or knows of a source where one can get a list of handy hints of dealing with flat files in SSIS so as to avoid common drawbacks associated with loading data from flat files. In my experience
    I have noticed that flat files can be such a headache. I have worked with flat files for a wile now and I’m relatively comfortable with them. Occasionally I hit on stubborn issues. My latest challenge is that I’m getting two of the columns from a CSV file
    being concatenated in the intended destination. Please see the illustration below.
    Surprising thing is that the concatenated columns have a coma separating them.
    The rows affected by this end up with associated columns being shifted out of proper mapping.
    In the illustration below the first two rows are the offending rows and the last two rows show what the expected results should look like.
    Data type is VARCHAR on all columns
    ProductCode
    ProductName

    The following are the things which I have tried without success yet
    Ticking box “Retain NULL Values” box on the Flat File Source component
    Using double quotes for Text Qualifier when exporting data to CSV
    Using double quotes for Text Qualifier when loading data from CSV
    Not using anything for Text Qualifier
    Exporting data to a Raw File destination and importing data from a Raw File source hoping that raw file might preserve the original format.
    Please note that the data which is being exported has none of the values from the source columns with comas in them. All values in all columns do not have any special characters. They are simple alphanumeric.
    Suggestions will be warmly welcome.
    Many thanks,
    Mpumelelo

    Thank you for your responses
    Jonathan – I’ve never used a hex editor before. Is there any other way round that other than hex editor?
    B3nt3n – What is your delimiter? – I don’t know if I understand your question correctly. I am using the default settings on the Flat File component. The only places where I have made changes are addition of the
    double quotes to the Text Qualifier areas as well as putting a tick on the “retain null values …” option. Everything else is default.
    A csv would have commas. But you are saying there are no commas when you open the .csv in notepad?
    – I meant there are no comas in the original data values as they are on the table before being exported to the csv file. That is, none of the values on a given column has a coma in it. However, there are comas on the csv file itself as you have rightly said
    about csv file formats, but not on the table for this data that I am dealing with.
