How do I change the length of a column in the metadata?

A very simple package, reads data from SQL Server and FTPs it to a destination. I have zero experience with SSIS.
I had to add a new column (HEA_ID) to the input and output. The output record has a filler at the end (I hope you know what a filler is) and the new column has to go before the filler and the filler length reduced accordingly.
Problem: there is no apparent way to place the new column anywhere but after the Filler. The filler in the metadata is the wrong length and there is no way that I can see to change the length.
There is a yellow exclamation mark on the Flat File destination (where the filler is wrong length)
I get these erros when I run the updated package.
"The external metadata column is out of sync with the data source column. The column 'HEA_ID' needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection".
"The column filler needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection"
I have no idea how to fix these errors. Help needed.

Hi AllTheGoodNamesWereTaken,
According to your description, you add a new column HEA_ID and make some changes in filler column in the External Columns, so those two columns are out of sync with the data source column.
Please note that columns are created based on the data source columns. So we couldn’t directly change them in the Flat File Destination Advanced Editor.
To avoid this error message, just as Visakh said, just review mappings once again in the Flat File Destination. If we want to change the columns in the Flat File Destination, we need change the source columns.
Thanks,

    Hi,
    That depends on whether spriden_pidm is unique, and on what you want for results.
    Whenever you have a problem, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevamnt columns only) for all tables, and the results you want from that data.
    If you can illustrate your problem using commonly available tables (such as those in the scott or hr schemas) then you don't have to post any sample data; just post the results you want.
    Either way, explain how you get those results from that data.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using.
    It looks like you're doing something similiar to the following.
    Using the emp and dept tables in the scott schema, produce one row of output per department showing the highest salary in each job, for a given set of jobs:
    DEPTNO DNAME          LOC           JOB_1   SAL_1 JOB_2   SAL_2 JOB_3   SAL_3
        20 RESEARCH       DALLAS        ANALYST  3000 MANAGER  2975 CLERK    1100
        10 ACCOUNTING     NEW YORK      MANAGER  2450 CLERK    1300
        30 SALES          CHICAGO       MANAGER  2850 CLERK     950On each row, the jobs are listed in order by the highest salary.
    This seems to be analagous to what you're doing. The roles played by sortest_pidm, sortest_tesc_code and sortest_test_score in your sortest table are played by deptno, job and sal in the emp table. The roles played by spriden_pidm, id and name in your spriden table are played by deptno, dname and loc in the dept table.
    It sounds like you already have something like the query below, that produces the correct output, except that it does not include the dname and loc columns from the dept table.

    ;Actually, you can keep using just deptno in the analytic PARTITION BY clause. It might be a little more efficient to just use deptno, like I did above, but it won't change the results if you use all 3, if there is only 1 danme and 1 loc per deptno.
    By the way, you don't need so many sub-queries. You're using the inner sub-query to compute the MAX, and the outer sub-query to compute rn. Analytic functions are computed after aggregate fucntions, so you can do both in the same sub-query like this:
    SELECT    deptno, dname, loc
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 1, job))     AS job_1
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 1, max_sal))     AS sal_1
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 2, job))     AS job_2
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 2, max_sal))     AS sal_2
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 3, job))     AS job_3
    ,       MAX (DECODE (rn, 3, max_sal))     AS sal_3
    FROM       (
                   SELECT    e.deptno, d.dname, d.loc
              ,       e.job
              ,       MAX (e.sal)     AS max_sal
              ,       ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  e.deptno
                                           ORDER BY       MAX (sal)     DESC
                                          )       AS rn
              FROM      scott.emp    e
              ,       scott.dept   d
              WHERE     e.deptno        = d.deptno
              AND       e.job                IN ('ANALYST', 'CLERK', 'MANAGER')
                  GROUP BY  e.deptno, d.dname, d.loc
              ,       e.job

  • The calendar week view on my iphone 4s starts on a Sunday.  I am synching with outlook on my computer which starts the week view on a Monday which I prefer.  How do I change my iphone calendar view to start the week on a Monday?

    The calendar week view on my iphone 4s starts on a Sunday.  I am synching with outlook on my computer (pc)  which starts the week view on a Monday which I prefer.  How do I change my iphone calendar view to start the week on a Monday?  I am in Australia.
    I have just noticed the other discussion points - mine is set to Australia. 
    Dear Apple - as the day that the week starts on can depend on country and religion - how about making it an option that the user can change????

    I believe the week view on the iPhone is handled by the Region settings in the phone. I am not aware of any other manner to change it, as you can with Outlook.

  • Is it possible to change the length of a note in the score editor?

    I thought I saw somewhere that it was now possible to adjust the length of a note in the score editor graphically, i.e. by clicking on the note and somehow adjust its length directly to change it from 1/4 note to 1/8 (for example).
    I don't want to do this by going over to the "Length" dialog on the left because I hate having to switch from thinking in terms of music notation and then having to think (temporarily) in MIDI ticks per beat, etc.
    I must admit that I'm finding it extremely frustrating to simply enter music into Logic in a score....I thought this was supposed to be one of its strengths but it seems to be providing amazing capabilities at the expense of ease of use for beginners.

    greetings dh... are you into Key Commands? There are two which will help you do the above in a trice:
    • Nudge Region/Event Length Right by SMPTE Frame
    • Nudge Region/Event Length Left by SMPTE Frame
    I set mine to the simple letter o and n
    - I click on a note and press o repeatedly.. it grows and grows longer and longer
    – I click on a note and press n repeatedly.. it shrinks and shrinks shorter and shorter
    All by little increments
    If you keep a Piano Roll window open while you do this, you can see the length do this exactly
    man, it is VERY quick and handy for changing the length of notes
    It really helps to have a view of the midi Piano Roll to cross check the exact length and position of the notes.
    Check out the Key Commands:
    • Set Next Higher division
    • Set Next lower division
    These change the note value in the transport bar near the time signature. Your time signature may be 4/4 but the "grid" on which the notes are appear in the Piano Roll could be displayed in quarter, 8th or 16th notes. If you experiment with these commands, then you can match the note lengths easily to the grid display visually (with the above nudge length commands)
    Also - you may like to experiment with the following 3 KEY Key Commands:
    1 • Nudge Region/Event Position Right by Nudge Value
    2 • Nudge Region/Event Position Left by Nudge Value
    This will move your selected notes forward in time or back in time according to the
    value that is set in the Transport bar - say it is 16ths .. then each press of the key will move the notes a 16th
    or if the value is 8th notes, then each press of the key forward or backwards will move the selected notes forward or back by this amount
    ... amazingly useful when you are taking a whole phrase and pasting it somewhere else, or if say you started to write a phrase in the Score Editor and you started on the wrong beat.. then you just Nudge back and forth
    3 • Set Nudge Value to Division
    .. this will in a trice change change the Nudge Value to whatever Note division value is set in the Transport bar
    HTH and forgive me if I have given you too much information
    ..problem is I spent too much time in the Transport Bar in Los Angeles last year drinking with the iSchwartz and other Logic reprobrates... you should join us some time

  • Question about iCloud. How do I change my e-mail address, I have the wrong one and want to change it.

    question about iCloud.  How do I change my e-mail address, I got the wrong address.

    There are a variety of options available to you, including creating an email "alias" or changing the email address associated with your iCloud ID.
    For all practical purposes your iCloud email address and Apple ID are interchangeable. To change your Apple ID read Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID.
    If you simply created an Apple ID in error, you might consider abandoning it altogether and creating a new one. On the other hand, if you already used that Apple ID to purchase iTunes or other digital content, don't create a new Apple ID, because any purchases you already made are inexorably linked to the Apple ID used to make them.

  • How do I change my default "SAP Working Directory" to the one I wish ?

    Hello Gurus,
    How do I change my default "SAP Working Directory" to the one I wish ?
    At the moment default SAP Working Directory to set to the following directory.
    "C:\Documents and Settings\T51273\SapWorkDir"
    So, when ever I try to download a Report/Table Contents/Spool Request, SAP prompts me to save in the above SAP Working Directory, which is "C:\Documents and Settings\T51273\SapWorkDir". Ofcourse I can change the folder in the dialogue box, but I don't want to change the folder each and every time I download a report from SAP.
    I wish to change my default "SAP Working Directory" to "My Documents" Folder. So that from next time,
    if ever I try to download a Report/Table Contents/Spool Request, SAP should prompt "My Documents" Folder. That way I don't have to change the folder at the time of saving.
    Full Points are assigned for an answer that works...
    Thank You,

    Hello,
    A short question about transaction SO21:
    Is this a local setting, per GUI?
    Or does this affect all users?
    I have a problem opening an attachment (Mandates).
    SAP wants to save it to C:\Windows\System32\
    I see that is stated at SO21.
    If I change that to another (accessable) location, does that affect the opening of the attachment?
    Thanks!

  • How do I change Text Colour in a Spreadsheet?  The Help menu doesn't help.

    Simple question whcih i cannot find the simple answer to:  How do I change Text Colour in a Spreadsheet?  The Help menu doesn't help.

    Hi Lecia,
    You have several choices.
    Use the first set of controls in the Format Bar. One of these is a Color well (red in the image). Select the cell(s) in which you want the text coloured, then click the well to open its Color palette, and choose your colour.
    Use the Text Inspector. Open the inspector, click the Text button (T), and use the tools there (similar to the set in the Format Bar).
    Press command-T to open the Fonts Window. This offers a few more options than are available in the Inspector or the Format bar.
    Regarding "Help": I'd recommend using the Numbers '09 User Guide, which you can download via the Help menu. Easier to search, and easier reading than the individual Help articles. search 'text color' to quickly get to instructions on applying colour to text.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • How do I change custom field description and name on the project fields PDP

    I'm creating a custom PDP for a workflow process and I need to add the folloiwng fields "Project Name" and "Description"
    When I try to create Project Name custom field under server settings I get the following message "The custom field name cannot match the name of any intrinsic fields."
    So I went to the PDP web part Project fields and I found a field named " Project Name". I added it to the Proejct Fields web part, but it displays as "Name".
    How can I change this field that's out of the box? I don't see "Project Name" and "Description" under server settings > Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables to modify them.
    Thank you

    Hi there,
    Project Name & description fields are internal fields in project server which you cannot view in Enterprise custom fields in PWA. You will not be able to create with the similar name. There is no way to change these fields as far as I know. 
    I would suggest to have the new fields name something like  Project_Name/ ProjName or Project_Description/ProjDescription . 
    Hope that helps.Thanks, Amit Khare |EPM Consultant| Blog: http://amitkhare82.blogspot.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/amitkhare82
