Regarding ssis - Matching flat files

Hi,
  1. I have one scenario like....
We have 8 flat files in one folder and 5 flat files in another folder
In that we have 5 matching files in those 2 folders...
Now we need to load that matching 5 files into one destination..How???

Explain matching files.
Does that mean files with same name and extension? Or does it mean only internal data is same with different names?

  • Loading of flat file (csv) into PSA – no data loaded

    Hi BW-gurus,
    We have an issue regarding loading a flat file (csv) into PSA using an infopackage u2013 (BI 7.0)
    The infopackage has been used for a while. Prior the consultants with SAP_ALL-profile have run the infopackage. Now we want a few super users to run the infopackage.
    We have created a role for the super users, including authorization objects:
    Data Warehousing objects: S_RS_ADMWB
    Activity: 03, 16, 23, 63, 66
    Data Warehousing Workbench obj: INFOAREA, INFOOBJECT, INFOPACKAG, MONITOR, SOURCESYS, WORKBENCH
    Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 datasource (version > BW 3.x): S_RS_DS
    Activity: All
    Datasource: All
    Subobject for New DataSource: All
    Sourcesystem: FILE
    Data Warehousing Workbench u2013 infosource (flex update): S_RS_ISOUR
    Activity: Display, Maintain, Request
    Application Component: All
    InfoSource: All
    InfoSource Subobject: All values
    As mentioned, the infopackage in question, has been used by consultants with SAP_ALL-profile for some time, and been working just fine.  When the super users with the new role are executing the infopackage, the records are found, but not loaded into PSA. The load seems to be stuck, but no error message occurs. The file we are trying to load contains only 15 records.
    Details monitor:
    Overall status: Missing messages or warnings (yellow)
    Requests (messages): Everything ok (green)
      ->  Data request arranged (green)
      ->  Confirmed with: OK (green)

    Have we forgotten something? Any assistance will be highly appreciated!

    Hi,
    Try to use the transaction ST01 to trace the authorization of the upload with the SAP_ALL. 
    And the enhance your Profile for the super user.

  • Hierarchy flat file extraction

    Hi experts--
    Can anyone could guide me in Flat file Hierchy extraction.Step by step.
    if possible with screen shots.
    can send it to [email protected]
    regards,
    Rambo.

    Hi,
    Flat file hierarchy extraction is similar to the normal flat file extraction procedures. But the file structure itself can be complex and is different than normal flat files.
    Take a look at the threads below for more details :

  • Regarding ssis - Filter first 5 rows from flat file

    Hi,
    i have a requirement like this every day we receive 10-15 Flat files , we need to load these data into SQL Table ,here nothing is complex for this we need to use foreachloop Container,Dataflowtask..etc. here the issue is each flat file have top 5 rows has
    Client information like ( We need to delete First 5 rows) and then insert into SQL Table . please suggest me how to develope the package..

    You need to use a script task to read file one by one and remove the first 5 rows from the file. The file name/path can be stored as a variable and read it from the script code. Insert the script task inside the foreach loop container just before importing
    the file.
    Refer the link to remove a line in .net

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Ssis flat file to ole db skipping some rows...

    for some reason, I can't seem to figure out why I'm missing some lines when I import a csv file that I exported using sqlplus. The ssis package gives no warnings or errors as well.
    The reason I know this is because when I loaded the csv file into a separate analysis application it gets the correct totals for numeric columns and row counts.
    But for some reason, SSIS doesn't seem to capture all of the lines...
    there were 6313052 rows in the csv file and ssis imports 6308607...
    any thoughts?
    I've tried different code pages too (1250, 1252, and UTF8) but they didn't seem to have an affect
    I checked out this link: Why
    all the records are not being copied from CSV to SQL table in a SSIS package
    and numbers I've checked on numbers 2, 3, and 4.
    Although, for number 1, I'm using a for each loop container descirbed in this site:http://help.pragmaticworks.com/dtsxchange/scr/FAQ%20-%20How%20to%20loop%20through%20files%20in%20a%20specified%20folder,%20load%20one%20by%20one%20and%20move%20to%20archive%20folder%20using%20SSIS.htm to
    loop through files in a folder and import them.
    I've also thought about missing delimiters, but I exported the files myself using sqlplus like this:
    select
    trim(to_char(t1.D_DTM, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mm:ss'))||','||
    trim(t1.TECHNOLOGY)||','||
    trim(t1.VOICEDATA)||','||
    trim(t2.MRKT_NM)||','||
    trim(t2.REGION_NM)||','||
    trim(t2.CLUSTER_NM)||','||
    trim(t3.BSC_NM)||','||
    trim(t1.BTS_ID)||','||
    trim(t1.CSCD_NM)||','||
    trim(t1.SECT_SEQ_ID)||','||
    trim(t1.BND_ID)||','||
    trim(t1.FA_ID)||','||
    trim(t1.TCE_DTCT_CALL_SETUP_F_CNT)||','||
    trim(t1.MS_ACQ_CALL_SETUP_F_CNT)||','||
    trim(t1.SIGN_CALL_SETUP_F_CNT)||','||
    trim(t1.BAD_FRM_CALL_SETUP_F_CNT)||','||
    trim(t1.REORG_ATT_CNT)||','||
    trim(t1.TCE_CALL_SETUP_F_CNT)||','||
    trim(t1.WCD_CALL_SETUP_F_CNT)||','||
    trim(t1.L_CALL_SETUP_F_CNT)||','||
    trim(t1.TRAF_FRM_MISS_CNT)||','||
    trim(t1.BCP_TMO_CALL_SETUP_F_CNT)
    from table
    I'm not sure how I could miss delimiters if I export a file like that...
    Also, I tested importing these files into MySql using LOAD DATA INFILE and that seems to work fine and import all of the data...

    Hi rpatel18,
    The issue might occur if there are missing either row or column delimiters in the CSV file. Please have a look at the following blog to see if it is the issue:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dataaccesstechnologies/archive/2013/03/13/flat-file-source-cannot-handle-file-with-uneven-number-of-columns-in-each-row.aspx.
    In addition, the issue might also happen due to the design structure of the SSIS package. You could post one screenshots of your SSIS package Control Flow Tasks and Data Flow Tasks for further analysis.

  • 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.

  • SSIS project - read multiple flat files with different formats

    hi all,
    i need to import multiple flat files with different formats into different tables of the sql server database and not able to figure out the best way out in ssis to do so...
    please advise the possible methods in ssis to do so and if possible the process which can be dynamic as file names or columns might change in future.

    Hi AK1987,
    To import flat files with dynamic columns, we can use Script Task inside a Foreach Loop Container to parse the first row of the flat file to get the columns names and save them into a .NET variable, then, we can create “Create Table” script based on this
    variable, and then store the script into a SSIS package variable. After that, we create a staging table based on the package variable, load the flat file data to the staging table. Eventually, we load data from the staging table to the destination table. For
    the detail steps, please walk through the following blog:

  • Ssis - import data from flat file to table (sql server 2012)

    i have create a ssis for importing data from flat file to table in sql server 2012.
    but i got the below error for some column in data flow task.
    error: cannot processed because than one code page (950 and 1252)
    anyone helps~

    Hi,
    The issue occurs because the source flat file uses ANSI/OEM – Tranditional Chinese Big5 encoding. When processing the source file, the flat file connection manager uses code page 950 for the columns. Because SQL Server uses code page to perform conversions
    between non-Unicode data and Unicode data, the data in the code page 950 based input columns cannot be loaded to code page 1252 based destination columns. To resolve the issue, you need to load the data into a SQL Server destination table that includes Unicode
    columns (nchar or nvarchar), and convert the input columns to Unicode columns via Data Conversion or the Advanced Editor for the Flat File Source at the same time.
    Another option that may not be that practical is to create a new database based on the Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_BIN collation, and load the data to non-Unicode columns directly.

  • How to create a dynamic SSIS package for multiple flat file destinations

    Hi,
    I have to create a ssis package which has single data flow task and inside that I have 23 source (sql- select * from - statements)- destination (flat files, 23 distinct) connection.
    Now for each product I have to create separate SSIS package (i.e. if prod=abc then these read select * from abc_tables and 23 abc_ txt files)
    I want to do it dynamically, means only single package and inside that variables will take select * values for each source-dest connection (so i believe 23 variables) and same for destination flat files.
    Let me know. :)
    ANK HIT - if reply helps, please mark it as ANSWER or helpful post

    Sorry It seems you're contradicting yourself. you say I know my source and dest structure and the you're
    asking all I want is to have a dynamic structure
    what does that mean?
    and reading your next sentence
    I want to run a package for 5 products, instead of creating 5 ssis packages with 23 source- dest connection, I would
    like to have one with only 23 source- dest connections 
    What I feel is what you're looking for is to  have a looping structure to loop through each of the 5
    products.
    In that case what you could do is this
    1. Create a object variable in SSIS 
    2. Use a Execute SQL Task to populate the variable with all available products (I think you'll have a master table for that). Set ResultSet property to Full ResultSet and then in ResultSet tab map Object variable to 0 th index
    3. use a ForEachLoop container with ADO .NET recordset enumerator and map to object variable. Create a variable of datatype same as that of Product identifier field to get individual values out
    4. Inside loop create your data flow task with 23 source destination connection. In the query part use a parameter for product field and map it to the variable containing product value to get only data for the product.

  • How to remove the date extensions from a filename in SSIS Flat File Connection Manager dynamically at run time

    Hello,
    I have to load data from a csv file to SQL Database. The file is placed into a directory by another program but the file name being same, has different extensions based on time of the day that it is placed in the directory. Since I know the file name
    ahead of time, so, I want to strip off the date/time extension from the file name so that I can load the file using Flat File Connection Manager. I am trying to use 'variable' and 'expression editor' so that I can specify the file name dynamically. But I
    don't know how to write it correctly. I have a variable 'FileLocation' that holds the folder location where the file will be placed. The file for example:  MyFileName201410231230  (MyFileName always the same, but the date/time will be different)
    Thanks,

    I don't want to use ForEach Loop because the files are placed by a FTP process 3 times a day at a specific time, for ex. at 10 AM, 12 PM and 3 PM. These times are pretty much fixed. The file name is same but the extension will have this day time stamp. I
    have to load each file only once for a particular reason, meaning I don't want to load the ones I already loaded. I am planning on setting up the SSIS process to load at 10:05, 12:05 and 3:05 daily. The files will be piling up in the folder. As it comes,
    I load them. At some point in time, I can remove the old ones so that they won't take up space in the server.  In fact, I don't have to keep the old ones at all since they are saved in a different folder anyways. I can ask the FTP process to
    remove the previous one when the new one arrives. So, at any point in time, there will be one file, but that file will have different extensions every time.
    I am thinking of removing the extensions before I load every time. If the file name is 'MyFileNamexxxxxxx.csv', then I want to change it to 'MyFileName.csv' and load it.
    Thanks,

    You WILL need to use it eventually because you need to iterate over each file.
    Renaming is unnecessary as one way or another you will need to put a processed file away.
    And having the file with the original extension intact will also help you troubleshoot.

  • Regarding Upload of Goods Issue  data from flat file

    Hi,
    i am working with interface for Goods Issue
    The following fields are provided in the flat file: BLDAT , BUDAT ,BWARTWE , WERKS and LGORT.
    We also have to maintain Internal Order number in SAP which is not provided in the flat file ; how to go about it?
    I have a doubt: since item level data is not provided in the flat file ; how that data will be captured ?
    Should I go for BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE or write a BDC ?

    Hi,
    You can only do a goods issue against a delivery. I dont understand how you can Issue goods using a flat file.you will have to check with your functional consultant.
