SSIS Package resources

Hello, can someone please guide me to some resources on creating SSIS packages that read data from files, load data into SQL server tables and interface with BPC using the SAP provided extensions to SSIS.
Thanks.

Hey Zack -
This is pertaining to Version 5, but the same procedures translate to later versions...

ERROR WHILE MIGRATING SSIS PACKAGE FROM DEVELOPMENT TO PRODUCTION IN EXECUTION

HI,
I have a problem while executing the package after migrating from DEVELOPMENT to PRODUCTION.
We have two SQL database connections DEVMIDDLEWARE and PRODMIDDLEWARE for dev and prod respectively. When we have created package in development we have used DEVMIDDLEWARE and we have credentials in CONFIG file of that package and executed sucessfully. When
we migrated this same package to PRODUCTION when have given credentials of PRODMIDDLEWARE in CONFIG FILE of this package we are getting error as below

Can anyone help for this error.
Many thanx in Advance

Hi Babloo,
According to the error message, the package may have failed are as follows:
The user account that is used to run the package under SQL Server Agent in PRODUCTION server differs from the original package author.
The user account does not have the required permissions to make connections or to access resources outside the SSIS package.
The package may not run in the following scenarios:
The current user cannot decrypt secrets from the package. This scenario can occur if the current account or the execution account differs from the original package author, and the package's ProtectionLevel property setting does not let the current user
decrypt secrets in the package. In this scenario, we can change the SSIS Package ProtectionLevel property to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, then modify the SQL Server Agent job step command line to include this password.
File access fails because the current user does not have the required permissions to write to the file share that the connection manager accesses. In this scenario, we can create a SQL Server Agent proxy account. This proxy account must use a credential
that lets SQL Server Agent run the job as the account that created the package or as an account that has the required permissions.

SSIS Package Fails when Scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job

I have an SSIS package that runs without any problems when executed through BIDS.
However, when I schedule the SSIS as an Agent job, it fails completely or part way through. When it partially runs, the part that it is failing on is a Script Task that moves the source data file to an archive folder (on the same server).
I have tried using my domain account as the owner of the job, then the job fails straight off and I get an error:
Unable to determine if the owner (Domain\MyID) of job JobName has server access (reason: Could not obtain information about Windows NT group/user 'Domain\MyID'
If I change the owner to the 'sa' account , then the job partially runs, but then fails because 'sa' is a SQL account and does not have access to the filesystem.
I have managed to get it to work by using the SQL2008_Local account and granting modify permissions to the affected folders.
My question is - what is the advised way of doing this?
Thanks
Gary

Hi Garyv.King,
When you see a SSIS package fails running in a SQL Agent job, you need to first consider the following conditions:
1. The user account that is used to run the package under SQL Server Agent differs from the original package author.
2. The user account does not have the required permissions to make connections or to access resources outside the SSIS package.
For more detailed information about the issue, please following this KB article:
An SSIS package does not run when you call the SSIS package from a SQL Server Agent job step
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918760
You can check SQL Server Agent’s activity logs, Windows Event logs and SSIS logs to get more clues. Also the tool Process Monitor is helpful to track the cause of registry or file access related issues.
The following 4 issues are common encountered in the SSIS forum.
1. The package's Protection Level is set to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey but your SQL Server Agent service account is different from the SSIS package creator.
2. Data source connection issue.
3. File or registry access permission issue.
4. No 64-bit driver issue.
For more information about it, please see:

How data flow when SSIS packages are run on a different server than the DB server

The scenario is that i have a dedicated SQL SErver 2014 SSIS machine that executes the packages.
The database server is a separate machine with SQL Server 2008R2.
1) Running SSIS packages that transfer data within SQL Server 2008R2 (same machine)
2) Running SSIS packages that transfer data between 2 separate SQL Server servers.
How the data flow in these two cases and what resource is being used where? (cpu,disk,ram,network)
Elias

When you have a dedicated SSIS server, all data read flows to that server, is processed using the resources of that ETL server and then sent back over the network to the destination server.
It doesn't matter if source and destination are the same server. If you use a data flow, all data flows over the network twice.
The only exception is when you don't use a data flow, but only SQL statements. In that case, data flows only between source and destination.

*Error executing SSIS Package from BPC 5.1*

All -
I'm trying to execute a perfectly working SSIS package from BPC 5.1. When I execute the package it instantly completes executing (Failure) with nothin written to the Log file.
After doing further analysis, we have found the root cause to be "Sequence Containers" in SSIS Packages. We can execute the same package if we remove the sequence container.
When we try to edit the SSIS package via BPC, containing the Sequence Containers", we receive the following error:
[QuerytoServer] An error occurred while getting a package information. System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Sequence' to type 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.TaskHost' at Osoft.Services.Application.DataMgr.PackageExecute.DTSX.GetPackageInfor()
When we try to edit SSIS packages via BPC, containing NO Sequence Containers", everything is wonderful.
Does anyone have any suggestions, besides removing all of the Sequence Containers and moving the tasks to the base SSIS package level?
I trully appreciate any help you guys can provide.

Hi Lars,
Could you be more specific the step you did?
1. It works fine in Visual Studio,
2. It is not working with Excel Front-end. Call the package from Excel.
3. It worked few days ago, ==> Do you mean it was working with #2 step?
I think this might be caused by authentication,
1. could you check your athentication you have for #1 and #2?
2. Did you introduce BPC DM to call the package? BPC DM uses impersonated ID even you use ID which has restrictive to use system resource, there will be no problem for the authentication.
3. As you see the log, it points FLOW task and OLEDB SOURCE, check your connection string in OLEDB SOURCE also.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
YH Seo

Thanks in advance.

Hi venkatesh1985,
As per my understanding, I think the issue can be caused by the current user account does not have the required permissions to make connections or access resources outside the SSIS package.
The package may not run in the following scenarios:
SQL Server Agent to schedule a SQL Server Integration Services package in a 64-bit environment. And the SSIS package is referencing some 32-Bit DLL or 32-Bit drivers which are available only in 32-bit versions, so the job failed. To run a package in 32-bit
mode from a 64-bit version of SQL Server Agent, we can add the contents of the Command box after you add the path like below (supposing the 32-bit version of the DTExec.exe utility is in the following folder: Drive\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\DTExec.exe" /FILE "C:\MyFolder\MyPackage.dtsx" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF
A SQL Server connection that uses integrated security fails because the current user does not have the required permissions.
File access fails because the current user does not have the required permissions to write to the file share that the connection manager accesses. In this scenario, we can create a SQL Server Agent proxy account. This proxy account must use a credential
that lets SQL Server Agent run the job as the account that created the package or as an account that has the required permissions.

BIDS 2008 R2 freezes on large SSIS package when attempting to browse local variable

Hi,
When I set a break point on a control component within a large package and then attempt to watch local variables BIDS freezes. I then have to end BIDS using Task Manager.
So whilst debugging I view local variables the following way; -
When I try and expand the following variables tree BIDs freezes. The Task Manager on my desktop reports that my desktop where I am running BIDs is 80% idle.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

Hi Arthur,
Yes ... but if I am going to try and persuade my client to buy me a new laptop or upgrade my existing laptop to enable me to run BIDs against their servers I need to be more specific.
My current laptop has; -
Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit,
8 GB RAM,
Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-3630QM CPU @2.40Ghz
A Solid state drive with 80Gb free space.
To be honest it's the best laptop a client has ever loaned me. However the SSIS package which triggers the freeze is particularly large in terms of number of variables and size of control flow.
Whilst the freeze occurs as mentioned above the
Windows Task Manager reports; -
System Idle Process is set to 90+%
Memory usage set to 3.6Gb
Resource Monitor reports disk activity at virtually 0.
I wonder if there is an internal cap on resources within BIDs?
Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

Deadlock error in SSIS package

I have a SSIS package in SQL Server 2008. It has several tasks running in parallel. These jobs are Data Flow tasks and Script tasks. All these tasks are inserting/updating data on common tables. All the tasks are doing insert/update on very large data. Everything
was working fine but a few days ago the package started failing with following error.
" Transaction (Process ID 67) was deadlocked on lock | communication buffer resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim"
Kindly Suggest.

Can you provide more info on the deadlock, if you turn on the
Traceflag 1222. This traceflag is responsible for printing detailed resource information for deadlocks on SQL Server. Or run SQL Server Profiler with enable event(Locks ->
Deadlock graph).
Thanks

Unicode and non-unicode string data types Issue with 2008 SSIS Package

Hi All,
I am converting a 2005 SSIS Package to 2008. I have a task which has SQL Server as the source and Oracle as the destination. I copy the data from a SQL server view with a field nvarchar(10) to a field of a oracle table varchar(10). The package executes fine
on my local when i use the data transformation task to convert to DT_STR. But when I deploy the dtsx file on the server and try to run from an SQL Job Agent it gives me the unicode and non-unicode string data types error for the field. I have checked the registry
settings and its the same in my local and the server. Tried both the data conversion task and Derived Column task but with no luck. Pls suggest me what changes are required in my package to run it from the SQL Agent Job.
Thanks.

What is Unicode and non Unicode data formats
Unicode :
A Unicode character takes more bytes to store the data in the database. As we all know, many global industries wants to increase their business worldwide and grow at the same time, they would want to widen their business by providing
services to the customers worldwide by supporting different languages like Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic. Many websites these days are supporting international languages to do their business and to attract more and more customers and that makes life
easier for both the parties.
To store the customer data into the database the database must support a mechanism to store the international characters, storing these characters is not easy, and many database vendors have to revised their strategies and come
up with new mechanisms to support or to store these international characters in the database. Some of the big vendors like Oracle, Microsoft, IBM and other database vendors started providing the international character support so that the data can be stored
and retrieved accordingly to avoid any hiccups while doing business with the international customers.
The difference in storing character data between Unicode and non-Unicode depends on whether non-Unicode data is stored by using double-byte character sets. All non-East Asian languages and the Thai language store non-Unicode characters
in single bytes. Therefore, storing these languages as Unicode uses two times the space that is used specifying a non-Unicode code page. On the other hand, the non-Unicode code pages of many other Asian languages specify character storage in double-byte character
sets (DBCS). Therefore, for these languages, there is almost no difference in storage between non-Unicode and Unicode.
Encoding Formats:
Some of the common encoding formats for Unicode are UCS-2, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 have been made available by database vendors to their customers. For SQL Server 7.0 and higher versions Microsoft uses the encoding format UCS-2 to store the UTF-8 data. Under
this mechanism, all Unicode characters are stored by using 2 bytes.
Unicode data can be encoded in many different ways. UCS-2 and UTF-8 are two common ways to store bit patterns that represent Unicode characters. Microsoft Windows NT, SQL Server, Java, COM, and the SQL Server ODBC driver and OLEDB
provider all internally represent Unicode data as UCS-2.
The options for using SQL Server 7.0 or SQL Server 2000 as a backend server for an application that sends and receives Unicode data that is encoded as UTF-8 include:
For example, if your business is using a website supporting ASP pages, then this is what happens:
If your application uses Active Server Pages (ASP) and you are using Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 and Microsoft Windows 2000, you can add "<% Session.Codepage=65001 %>" to your server-side ASP script.
This instructs IIS to convert all dynamically generated strings (example: Response.Write) from UCS-2 to UTF-8 automatically before sending them to the client.
If you do not want to enable sessions, you can alternatively use the server-side directive "<%@ CodePage=65001 %>".
Any UTF-8 data sent from the client to the server via GET or POST is also converted to UCS-2 automatically. The Session.Codepage property is the recommended method to handle UTF-8 data within a web application. This Codepage
setting is not available on IIS 4.0 and Windows NT 4.0.
Sorting and other operations :
The effect of Unicode data on performance is complicated by a variety of factors that include the following:
1. The difference between Unicode sorting rules and non-Unicode sorting rules
2. The difference between sorting double-byte and single-byte characters
3. Code page conversion between client and server
Performing operations like >, <, ORDER BY are resource intensive and will be difficult to get correct results if the codepage conversion between client and server is not available.
Sorting lots of Unicode data can be slower than non-Unicode data, because the data is stored in double bytes. On the other hand, sorting Asian characters in Unicode is faster than sorting Asian DBCS data in a specific code page,
because DBCS data is actually a mixture of single-byte and double-byte widths, while Unicode characters are fixed-width.
Non-Unicode :
Non Unicode is exactly opposite to Unicode. Using non Unicode it is easy to store languages like ‘English’ but not other Asian languages that need more bits to store correctly otherwise truncation will occur.
Now, let’s see some of the advantages of not storing the data in Unicode format:
1. It takes less space to store the data in the database hence we will save lot of hard disk space.
2. Moving of database files from one server to other takes less time.
3. Backup and restore of the database makes huge impact and it is good for DBA’s that it takes less time
Non-Unicode vs. Unicode Data Types: Comparison Chart
The primary difference between unicode and non-Unicode data types is the ability of Unicode to easily handle the storage of foreign language characters which also requires more storage space.
Non-Unicode
Unicode
(char, varchar, text)
(nchar, nvarchar, ntext)
Stores data in fixed or variable length
Same as non-Unicode
char: data is padded with blanks to fill the field size. For example, if a char(10) field contains 5 characters the system will pad it with 5 blanks
nchar: same as char
varchar: stores actual value and does not pad with blanks
nvarchar: same as varchar
requires 1 byte of storage
requires 2 bytes of storage
char and varchar: can store up to 8000 characters
nchar and nvarchar: can store up to 4000 characters
Best suited for US English: "One problem with data types that use 1 byte to encode each character is that the data type can only represent 256 different characters. This forces multiple
encoding specifications (or code pages) for different alphabets such as European alphabets, which are relatively small. It is also impossible to handle systems such as the Japanese Kanji or Korean Hangul alphabets that have thousands of characters."1
Best suited for systems that need to support at least one foreign language: "The Unicode specification defines a single encoding scheme for most characters widely used in businesses around the world.
All computers consistently translate the bit patterns in Unicode data into characters using the single Unicode specification. This ensures that the same bit pattern is always converted to the same character on all computers. Data can be freely transferred
from one database or computer to another without concern that the receiving system will translate the bit patterns into characters incorrectly.

SSIS 2012 Scheduled SSIS package fail to start – Execution timed out

Hi
I am currently running into an issue that seem to have a live Connect issue raised for it. The following is the link to the connect issue https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/783291/ssis-package-fails-to-start-application-lock-timeout-in-ssisdb-catalog-create-execution
There is also a blog post that explains this issue in more detail, however the solution
it provides does not work all the time and I am very reluctant to create custom stored procedures in the SSISDB. http://speaksql.wordpress.com/2013/06/27/ssis-2012-fail-to-start-execution-timed-out/
Just to give some more background. When scheduling 10 or more, in my case I scheduled 14, SQL Server Agent Jobs all executing a package in the SSIS Catalog and all kicking off on exactly the same time about 10% to 20% of these jobs fail stating one of the
following error messages:
The operation failed because the execution timed out. Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider Started: 12:20:01 Finished: 12:20:07 Elapsed: 5.797 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.
Description: Transaction (Process ID 66) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction. Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider Started: 14:06:48 Finished: 14:06:53
Elapsed: 4.719 seconds. The package execution failed. The step failed.
This timeout takes place both when using TSQL to start the package in the Job or when the step in the Job is set to start the package as an Integration Services Package.
Steps to recreate this:
1. Create one SSIS package that simply executes for around a minute. For example you can use an Execute SQL Task and simply execute the following TSQL "WAITFOR DELAY '00:01:00'"
2. Create 14 SQL Server Agent Jobs each executing the same package and schedule all of them to run at the same time.
3. Watch the execution of the jobs take place and note the failures. (This does not always happen and you might get one run in which everything executes without a problem. The next run might have 6 or 7 of the jobs fail.)
You can also create 14 different SSIS packages, one for each job, and the result is the same.
I am running on SQL 2012 SP1 CU4. Windows Server 2012 R2 patched to the lastest patch level.
This issue does not happen when the packages are deployed to the SSIS Package Store the way that it was done in SQL2008 and before. It only occurs when the SSIS packages are deployed to the SSIS Catalog.
Any help or feedback on this would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Christo Olivier

Hi Tom
Thank you for the fast response. I went and increased the value by 1024KB instead of the initial
512KB. Unfortunately this seems to only alleviate the issue but does not stop it from occurring. It
is happening much less often now but still occurring intermittently.

Error While executing a SSIS package which contains a script task through SQL Server Agent job

Hi,
I have a SQL Server 2012 SSIS package with a script task along with other tasks [data flow, execute sql tasks ]. When I manually executed the job through BIDS, its completed successfully.
Then I have automated the execution of the package through SQL Server Agent Job. But when I executed the package through SQL Agent job, it runs successfully for all the tasks except script task. When it comes to execute the Script Task, it is getting failed

Excel Connection Manager suddenly can no longer connect to Excel from SSIS package

During the last 3 months, I used 32 bit SSIS 2008 (v 10.50.2500.0) on an WinXp machine (v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) to create a package that writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. Each report is written to a different
tabbed sheet in the same spreadsheet. The package was working just fine until May 9 2013, when suddenly every single Data Flow task with an Excel Destination displayed error icons and raised the following
error message when opening the Advanced Editor:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error". Error at <DataFlow task name>: SSIS

12.0 XML;HDR=YES;". Now an attempt to create and test a NEW Connection Manager yields me this error. "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unspecified error.",  whereas before I had
no problems creating a new connection manager.I checked a second SSIS package, which I also built during the past 3 months, which loads multiple sheets from multiple Excel files to a SQL Server 2008 database holding table. It uses the same
ACE OLE DB 12.0 connection to load the Excel speadsheets and this package continues to work fine on the same workstation.In desparation, wondering if the Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 driver had become corrupt (even though the second package
was raising no errors), I did download and install the Microsoft ACE OLE DB 12.0 driver.  That did not solve my problems with the first package.I need to get this package running again ASAP as it is targeted for UAT testing in a
matter of days. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!

I submitted this issue above and now I am having the same problem again. I am using the same local computer, the same operating system (WinXp v 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600) as originally described. I am working with the same SSIS package that
writes multiple query results (reports) to an excel spreadsheet. This package has been successfully executed multiple times, but now I am suddenly getting the same error as follows:
Error at 1ConversionContacts [Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager"]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Access Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unspecified error".
Error at DFlow Write soft deleted duplicate claims to Excel sheet [Excel Destination - write duplicate claim nbrs that have been removed to Excel [61]]: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method
call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
The package will not run because of these multiple errors (multiple because it occurs on every single excel destination in the package).
I have Run64BitRuntime set to false on the project. I have triple checked that the excel file name (which I created and can access) exists with the correct name in the correct path, which is local on my machine. The file is the same file in the same
location as when the package worked. I am running the SSIS service under my own network login, as I was when the package worked. I have been consistently getting this same error whenever I change my network password without updating the password
in the SSIS service, but I have triple verified that the service is using my latest password. If I try to open and edit the Excel Destination in any DataFlow task I get the same error. I can successfully create a new Excel Connection Manager pointing
to the same excel file. However if I try to assign the newly created Excel Connection Manager in the data flow, I cannot activate the drop down to choose the Excel sheet without getting an 'Unspecified error' message. I then swapped out
the file with its template version, and ensured the name was updated as correct. I still get the same errors.
Oh, and the SSIS package is extracting data from a SQL Server 2008 database with an ADO.net Connection Manager using Windows authentication. I have no problems with the SQL Server connection, it has always worked and still does. It is only
the connection to excel output file which is locally stored on my machine.
Has anyone got any suggestions for me?

Issue with creation of SSIS package - reading from XML

Good Morning,
having a slight difficulty here and more than this, am afraid solution is pretty straight forward. I am trying to read an XML-file and save the rows to a CSV file (late ron it should be sent to SQL-database).
Am having this input XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<DataSet>
<xs:schema id="NewDataSet" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
<xs:element name="NewDataSet" msdata:IsDataSet="true" msdata:UseCurrentLocale="true">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="ROW">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="COLUMN" type="xs:short" minOccurs="0" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
<diffgr:diffgram xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata" xmlns:diffgr="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-diffgram-v1">
<NewDataSet>
<ROW diffgr:id="ROW1" msdata:rowOrder="0">
<COLUMN>1</COLUMN>
</ROW>
<ROW diffgr:id="ROW2" msdata:rowOrder="1">
<COLUMN>2</COLUMN>
</ROW>
</NewDataSet>
</diffgr:diffgram>
</DataSet>
but when running the SSIS-package, I get this
no errors are shown, but also no rows are written/processed.
Why is nothing read here?

by the way, when I split the schema and the XML data, having those 2 files
data.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<NewDataSet>
<ROW >
<COLUMN>1</COLUMN>
</ROW>
<ROW >
<COLUMN>2</COLUMN>
</ROW>
</NewDataSet>
schema.xsd
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
<xs:element name="NewDataSet">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="ROW">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="COLUMN" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
then result is fine

How to find a certain usage of a specific value inside an SSIS package

Hi,
In T-SQL, there are many tools to search for instances of a specific value in all the objects such as tables and SPs.
The only way I can think of in SSIS, is to search for a value in the XML of the DTSX, but it is not that user friendly.
Are there any existing tools or other ways for a value search that can assist ?
Thanks,
Dani

Since a package is just a plain text XML file thus you are able to perform a text search in the file.

SSIS package fails with the error as given below. But its warning messages are incorrect.

My SSIS package loads data from access database to SQL Server database.
It's a straight copy. It fails with the below warnings and error message as shown below:
Error messages:
[OLE DB Source [113]] Error: There was an error with OLE DB Source.Outputs[OLE DB Source Output].Columns[RetentionID] on OLE DB Source.Outputs[OLE DB Source Output]. The column status returned was: "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no
match in the target code page.".
[OLE DB Source [113]] Error: The "OLE DB Source.Outputs[OLE DB Source Output].Columns[RetentionID]" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "OLE DB Source.Outputs[OLE DB Source Output].Columns[RetentionID]"
specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on OLE DB Source returned error code 0xC020902A. 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.
There are 3 warning messages even before I run the package. Warnings are all about the mismatch between the source and destination column sizes.
I cross checked the source and destination column sizes. The destination column sizes are fairly high than the source column sizes.
It worked well all the while and when we are going to pre-prod it is throwing errors. Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Please check if the dev destination table has same column data types and size as compared with pre prod table
