Data flow fails on packed decimal field moving iSeries DB2 data from one iSeries DB to another

Question

I' trying to use SSIS to move table content from one iSeries DB2 database to another.  I'm using the .Net providers for OleDb\IBM DB2 for i5/OS IBMDA400 OLE DB Provider in the connection managers for the source and destination and the test connection
works fine.  When I try to run the data flow task however it fails on the first packed decimal field it encounters with the exceptions ...
[select from hydro520 hydroweb2 blpmstr [16]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR.  The "component "select from hydro520 hydroweb2 blpmstr" (16)" failed because error code 0x80004002 occurred, and the error
row disposition on "output column "MSPRIB" (55)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.  There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
[select from hydro520 hydroweb2 blpmstr [16]] Error: The component "select from hydro520 hydroweb2 blpmstr" (16) was unable to process the data. Pipeline component has returned HRESULT error code 0xC0209029 from a method call.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED.  The PrimeOutput method on component "select from hydro520 hydroweb2 blpmstr" (16) returned error code 0xC02090F5.  The component returned a failure code when the pipeline
engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.  There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
...in the progress tab.  Can someone kindly tell me what I need to do to get the connection manager to work with DB2 packed decimal fields?  Or is it a different issue all together?  Thanks tonnes for any help, Roscoe

Hi rpfinn,
From the Data Types mapping rules between SSIS and DB2, we can see that both the NUMERIC and DECIMAL data types in DB2 are mapped to DT_NUMBERIC data type in SSIS. Now that the source data in your DB2 database is NUMERIC data type, changing the DT_NUMBRIC
data type to DT_DECIMAL is invalid. Besides, if we check the data types of the target External column and Output column from the Advanced Editor for ADO NET Source adapter, the data type should be defined as DT_NUMERIC with Precision as 9 and Scale as 2. I
am not clear where you see the DT_NUMBERIC(9,0) e.g. DT_NUMERIC with Precision as 9 and Scale as 0, but it may be the cause of the issue. You need to make sure the DT_NUMERIC data type also has Scale 2 instead of 0.
If you don’t know how to modify the data type, please elaborate the Data Flow Task of the package so that we can make further analysis. Besides, the error messages you posted are incomplete, it will be helpful if you post the complete error message.
