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.

Working with flat file as source in owb 10.2

Hi,
I am working with flat file as source . While validating the mapping i am getting the following error like
" to specify a data file configure the mapping , add a node under ' Source data file', type in the file name
and select the file location."
Please give me the suggestion . It is very urgent.

Hi Venkat,
I tried the following stepts.
1. in Design Center select your mapping and right click and select configure
2. select sql loader data files and select create
3. On right hand side data file Name : enter your source file name (ex : source.csv)
4. click ok button.
5. open mapping and validate.
The mapping is validating. After validating I deployed the mapping. Up to this the mapping is working fine.
But when I start the mapping, It has completed with errors.
The error message is:
Status

How to built a hierarchy with flat file?

Hi Experts,
for a better representation of the report, i need to built a hierarchy with flat file.
The Data load is via Flat file.
Do you have some documentation about that?

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,

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.

Is a database table required for temporary interfaces with flat file data set source ?

Folks, this is the situation I have in ODI 11.1.1.7
I have a temporary interface (yellow), called MJ_TEMP_INT, that pulls data from TWO data sets in the source into a temporary target (TEMP_TARG). The catch is one data set pulls from a from a table whereas the other data set pulls from a flat file. A union is done on the data sets.
I then create another interface, called MJ_INT, that uses the MJ_TEMP_INT as a source and the target is a real db. table called "REAL_TARGET"
Two questions:
When I execute my second interface (MJ_INT), I get a message "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist" because it is looking for a real db table TEMP_TARG. Why must I have one ? because I am pulling from a flat file ?
On my second interface (MJ_INT) when I look at the property sheet of my source interface MJ_TEMP_INT (yellow), the checkbox next to "Use temporary interface as Derived table" is DISABLED. Why ? Is is also because my temporary interface is pulling from a flat file ?
I have attached a file that shows a screen shot of my ODI studio.
By the way, IF my temporary interface source has only one data set pulling from a db. table into a temporary target table, say called MJ_TEMP2_TARG, and then when I use this temporary interface as a source to another other real db. target table (REAL2_TARGET), THEN, every thing works. ODI does not require me to have a real db. table MJ_TEMP2_TARG and the checkbox for "Use temporary interface as Derived table" is NOT DISABLED and my REAL2_TARGET table gets populated.
Thank you in advance.
M. Jamal.

Thanks SH. I thought so.
Though I understand the reason to materialize the file in a staging area, but that almost defeats the purpose of having a temporary interface in this case if we have to save the data in a permanent db. table first. I assume the db. table sticks around and is not automatically dropped once the interface executing ends. If the db. table sticks around then I also must truncate it first before executing the temporary interface each time. Right ?

SSIS Flat File Source not populating varchar column

I have SSIS package that imports flat files with column separator | from "Flat File Source" into the database trough "OLE DB Destination".
For one of the columns (file contains UIDs in curly brackets) destination column is varchar(250) null-able, when "Retain nulls" is set to true complete data have been imported, but when "Retain nulls" is set to false beside fact that in
the file data is not null and it is not empty string it is not imported and in the destination column is empty string.
I know that this "Retain nulls" applies to the columns that contains NULLs but this is not the case.
If someone have experience with such issue please help.
Thank you in advance.

From your statement it looks like when you have curly brackets it skips the value and inserts nulls instead. And that may be the reason why its working fine when you change retain null value.
I would suggest
Make your setting "retain null" to true and load the flat file, then check what happens to the values having curly braces (is there any value or null) , if there is value we need to check for that(please share a sample file). And if it having null
instead of "{value}", I would suggest to put a script task to remove { from your flat file and then try load the data.
Hope this helps.

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:

How to split column wise into separate flat files in ssis

IN SSIS...
1.---->I have a sales table country wise regions like (india, usa, srilanka) ....

a b
c
d e
f
so i want output like in
flat file1.txt has india flat file2.txt has usa flat file3.txt has srilanka
a b
c
d e
f
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

Issue with flat file loading timing out

Hello
I have a scenario, where I am loading a flat file with 65k records into a cube. The problem is, in the loading process, I have to look up the 0Material table which has a million records.
I do have an internal table in the program, where I select a subset of the Material table ie around 20k to 30k records. But my extraction process takes more than 1 1/2 hrs and is failing (timed out).
How can i address this issue? I tried building indexes on the Material table and its not helping.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Unfortunately, this is BW 3.5, so there is no END routine option here. And I tried both .csv and notepad file methods, and both are creating problems for us.
This is the total code, do you guyz see any potential issues:
Start Routine (main code)
refresh i_oldmats.
refresh ZI_MATL.
data: wa_datapak type transfer_structure.
loop at datapak into wa_datapak. (** I collect all the old material numbers from my flat file into an internal table i_oldmats**)
   i_oldmats-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL = wa_datapak-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL.
   collect i_oldmats.
endloop.
sort i_oldmats.
SELECT /BIC/ZZOLDMATL MATERIAL (** ZI_MATL only has recs. where old materials exist, this gets about 300k records out of 1M**)
         FROM /BI0/PMATERIAL
         INTO ZI_MATL FOR ALL
         ENTRIES in i_oldmats WHERE
          /BIC/ZZOLDMATL = i_oldmats-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL .
            collect    ZI_MATL.
Endselect.
Sort ZI_MATL.
Transfer rule routine (main code)
IF TRAN_STRUCTURE-MATERIAL = 'NA'.
    READ TABLE ZI_MATL INTO ZW_MATL
    WITH KEY /BIC/ZZOLDMATL = TRAN_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZZOLDMATL
    BINARY SEARCH.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      RESULT = ZW_MATL-MATERIAL.
    ENDIF.
ELSE.
    RESULT = TRAN_STRUCTURE-MATERIAL.
ENDIF.

Validation Event handlers will not work with your trusted recon. You can use the GTC Validation provider, it is nothing but the plugins which you can insert with in your source field in GTC. I think you can easily get the steps for how to create a custom GTC Providers.

Hi-
It seems like there is non-numeric characters present in your C5-C7 columns. Please check your source data for these columns.

Conditional Interface Determination with Flat Files

Hello,
I have one sender interface (dummy) which could either hold a flat file or an XML file. On receiver side there is one system with two receiver interfaces, one should be used for the XML structure and one for the flat structure.
My requirement is to have a conditional interface determination with an (exclusive) OR logic. Pseudo code:
The XML structure has "submission" as root node. So I use the condition (/submissioin) EX to determine whether it is an XML file and I check with not(/submission) EX to determine whether it is a flat file. However the condition does not work using a flat file ("Unable to find an inbound interface"). Could it be, that the conditional expression never is true in case a flat file arrives? How can I achieve this requirement?
What I additionally do with the flat file is just calling a Java Mapping that sets dynamic attributes for a file receiver, the flatfile itself is dumped on a file system without any addtional conversion logic.
Thank you for your advice.

How can I ingnore a message in case a condition applies? I am just aware of the fact that you can ignore messages in case NO condition applies.
Couldn't you simply reverse the logic and use "not equals"? Or perhaps you can use the EX operator to alter your conditions... here is more info on the EX (exists) operator
Re: ConditionEditor: Check if element is empty
What is best practice in this case? Should I use a "dummy receiver"? However if I use a dummy receiver I think I would receive a "interface determination not found" error. How would you do that?
I've never found the need to work with dummy receivers so I cannot comment there.
