SSIS - "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page"

Hello everyone,
SQL server 2012, SSIS package, we are getting the following error for some of the mapped columns,
"Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page."
We're fetching the data from CSV file and dumping that to staging table i.e. SQL server 2012.
Can anybody please advise how to resolve this error/problem? It's urgent.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, <b>Ankit Shah</b> <hr> Inkey Solutions, India. <hr> Microsoft Certified Business Management Solutions Professionals <hr> http://ankit.inkeysolutions.com

You can enable data viewer (Right click on data flow connector --> Enable Data Viewer) before loading records to find out what's going on. Also, Configure error output to re-direct rows, so you can analyse data type and length.
Also, try this:
Ultimately, in the Advanced Editor of the source datafile, on the Input and Output Properties tab, under External Columns, there is a
Length property that defaults to 50. Changing that to match the Target Database File did the trick. [Source]

SSIS Error Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page

I the same issue or something close.
Except I have one Field (27) that get a trunacation error
Error:
Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "Column 27" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
The "output column "Column 27" (91)" failed because truncation occurred, and the truncation row disposition on "output column "Column 27" (91)" specifies failure on truncation. A truncation error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
Data looks like:Red Text is the field that is throwing the error!

I have found four things that I always check when I run into this problem. I have yet to find a time when one of these didn't work (specifically helps when reading data from flat files but I suppose most of the four would apply to any source). Check out my blog post, content repeated below:
1. Make sure to properly configure the "Flat File Source". When setting the connection properties to the flat file, take time to click on the advanced tab and ensure that the" Name", "DataType", and "OutputColumnWidth" properties are set properly. I have found that if this is setup correctly when the initial connection is created, some if not all of the data type issues and errors can be alleviated. The "Flat File Connection Manager Editor" can be accessed while initially creating the connection or by double clicking on a flat file connection within the "Connection Managers" for connections that have previously been created.
2. Depending on the order and steps that were used to create the connection to the flat file, sometimes the data types need to be updated in an additional area. This can be found by right clicking on the "Flat File Source" and selecting "Show Advanced Editor...". Once in the advanced editor, click on the "Input and Output Properties" tab. Expand the "External Columns" folder. For each field being loaded from the flat file there are some configurable properties. Make sure that the "DataType" field is properly set for each field.
3. Something else that can be done if you are sure that the data type is set correctly in both of the two previously mentioned locations is to set the "Flat File Source" to essentially ignore those annoying truncation errors. On the same "Input and Output Properties" tab, expand the "Output Columns" folder. For those fields listed, there is a "TruncationRowDisposition" property. By default this is set to "RD_FailComponent". This can be switched to "RD_IgnoreFailure" in order to allow the data to successfully pass through the "Flat File Source" even if SSIS believes that truncation is going to occur. Along with making this change, you can also check the "DataType" in the "Output Columns" as well.
Caution: If you do set the "Flat File Source" to "RD_IgnoreFailure" as mentioned above, always take time to review the data loaded in the target table to ensure that the integrity of the data was not jeopardized.
Note: I have found that when the "DataType" for both the "External Columns" and "Output Columns" is manually updated that it does not remain the same when the advanced editor is reopened. For this reason, try Steps 1 and 2 before setting the "Output Columns" manually.
4. The last thing to try, and this applies specifically to loading data from Excel files as opposed to text or CSV is to set the package to run in 32-bit mode. Click on "Project" on the top menu and select "Data Imports Properties...". Click on "Debugging" under the "Configuration Properties" and set the "Run64BitRuntime" to "False".
Working with data from flat files can sometimes be difficult in SSIS. By using one or many of the approaches I have listed above you should be able to create a repeatable process that is frequently needed within most SSIS packages. Be very careful when setting data types within SSIS and make sure to do it upfront when necessary because it can be harder to debug later in the development process. If the proper changes are made it should not be a surprise to feel a big SSIS developer sense of relief when the screen shows all green.
Let me know if this works!

Text was truncated

Hello,
I trying to import data from Oracle to SQL Server , and I have an issue with decimal places.
In Oracle I have a number with 36 decimal places, when I trying to bring it to SQL(load to the table) , SQL thinks that it's a nvarchar(38) and still have an error:
Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.
Number looks like that:
73.865092402464065708418891170431211499
Please advise , what I should do in SSIS so it going to work
Thanks

With the . the number of chars is 39 not 38 so it breaks.
You have to make it longer the NVARCHAR, but ideally why not it could be numeric

Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: The handle is invalid.

I'm stuck here trying to figure this error out.
2003 domain, 2012 hyper v core 3 nodes. (I have two of these hyper V groups, hvclust2012 is the problem group, hvclust2008 is okay)
In Failover Cluster Manager I see these errors, "Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: The handle is invalid."
I restarted the host node that was listed in having the error then another node starts showing the errors.
I tried to follow this site: http://blog.subvertallmedia.com/2012/12/06/repairing-a-failover-cluster-in-windows-server-2012-live-migration-fails-dns-cluster-name-errors/
Then this error shows up when doing the repair: there was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'
I looked at our domain controller and noticed I don't have access to local users and groups. I can access our other hvclust2008 (both clusters are same version 2012).
<image here>
I came upon this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/85fc2ad5-b0c0-41f0-900e-df1db8625445/windows-2012-cluster-resource-name-fails-dns-registration-evt-1196?forum=winserverClustering
Now, I'm stuck on adding a managed service account (mas). I'm not sure if I'm way off track to fix this. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Elton,
I restarted 3 hosts after applying the hotfix. Then I did the steps below and got stuck on step 5. That is when I get the error (image above). There
was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'. For more data, see 'Information Details'.
To reset the password on the affected name resource, perform the following steps:
From Failover Cluster Manager, locate the name resource.
Right-click on the resource, and click Properties.
On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, do not restart, and then click OK.
Right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Simulate Failure.
When the name resource shows "Failed," right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Repair.
After the name resource is online, right-click on the resource, and then click Properties.
On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, attempt restart on current node, and then click OK.
Thanks

One or mor parameters were not specified for the subreport

I have a main report that has a sub report. It all seems to work fine, except that I get the error "One or mor parameters were not specified for the subreport" when the second page of the report is rendered. So I verifed that all the
parameters for both reports are setup correctly, looked at the data to see if it that was causing the issue, etc.... I found nothing.
Then I came across this article.
http://www.analyticsby.me/2009/10/one-or-more-parameters-were-not_09.html
So I changed all the parameters on the sub report Available Values to none. Now it works without issues.
My problem is that the sub report needs to be run independently. By setting the Available Values to none, the user is unable to select values for the parameters. This is not acceptable.
I suppose I could create a duplicate report to use as the sub report, with all the Available Values set to none for the parameters, but that means I need to maintain two reports instead of one.
This has to be a bug.
Anyone come across this situation?
Bill Behning

Hi Bill,
Sorry for the delay.
Based on my test, the error message hints that either the report parameter has not been passed from the main report to the subreport or that the wrong format of report parameter or an unacceptable value for the report parameter has been passed from the main
report to the subreport.
When passing the parameter from the main report to subreport, we can grant the parameter to Available values in the subreport. While the values passed should be contained by Available values of the parameter in the subreport. In this case, the error won't occur.
In other words, the parameter in the subreport can contain Available values.
If I have any misunderstanding, please feel free to contact me.

Cannot convert character sets for one or more characters

Hello,
Issue:
Source File: Test.csv
Source file dropped on application server as csv file via FTP
Total records in csv file 102396
I can able to load only 38,000 records after that I am getting error message " convert character sets for one or more characters" while loading into PSA .
If i load same csv file from local workstation I am not getting any error message I can able to load total 102396 records.
I am guessing while FTP the file into Application server some invalid codes adding?
But I am FTP 7 files, out of 7 I am unable to load only 1 file.
Anybody have faced this kind of problem please share with me I will assign full points
Thanks

I checked lower case option for all IO
When i checked the PSA failed log no of records processed is "0 of 0" my question is with out processing single record system is througing this error message.
When i use same file loading from local workstation no error message
I am thinking when I FTP the file from AS/400 to BI Application Server(Linex) some invalid characters are adding but how can we track that invalid char?
Gurus please share your thoughts on this I will assign full points.

An the package stop , I wan to know really what is happened?, any one please

>Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation
In your script taks you need to "unwrap" this exception by examining its .InnerException. An easy way is to catch TargetInocationException and re-throw its .InnerException.

I had a disc of pictures in my imac and tried to update the software to 10.9, after realizing the disc was in there i ejected it and now its stuck on the os x page. any info of how to get away from that screen and onto my normal pages?

i tried to update my software to 10.9 and forgot i had a disc of pictues in the computer. i stopped the istall as it was trying to go onto the disc of pictures. now its stuck on the os x page and i cant get it to my home screen. can anyone help?

I'm not really sure what you mean by "the os x page". It sounds like the installation did not complete.
I would try this:
hold down the power button until the computer shuts down
take out the disk with the pictures!
restart and see if it will boot up
if it boots up normally, I'd probably try to repair your HD: Boot into your recovery partition (hold down ⌘R at restart until you see the Apple symbol), go to Disk Utility, and repair your hard drive. While you're there, repair permissions too. OSX Tips Using the Recovery HD
Then I'd try to reboot and run the installer again. I think it's a good idea to do the installation in safe mode : Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? .
if it won't boot up normally, I'd try booting from the recovery partition and repairing your HD.
if it won't boot into the recovery partition, your options are:
Try to repair your hard drive with internet recovery: OS X: About OS X Recovery
If you have access to another (working) Mac and a USB thumb drive, download Recovery Disk Assistant, which you can use to repair your hard drive or reinstall OSX: OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant
Try to boot into single user mode and repair your hard drive: Repair Your Hard Disk in Single User Mode | Everything Macintosh
