I get an error message when I try run my SSIS Package the error is:
[Flat File Source [1]] Error: The column delimiter for column "Column
8" was not found.
[Flat File Source [1]] Error: An error occurred while skipping data
rows.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on component "Flat File Source" (1) returned
error code 0xC0202091. 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.
Most of the csv files load no problem but a handful of csv files don't and prior to that the package has been working fine for years.
Encountered this error too, turned out that its skipping data rows because my CSV file has missing columns. Try checking if the columns in your file is correct.
Possible Scenario would be Multiple CSV Files doesn't have the same structure (Column names
)
Similar to user2545231's answer (can't comment based on reputation), I solved this by clicking Reset Columns in the connection manager for the file I was trying to import.
I also came across the same error. Yet I got it resolved by checking the flat file sources. Make sure that there are no unnecessary spaces, verify delimiter used for eg: a comma,etc and also the data entry should be in sync with the first row. I hope it helps you out.
I found through our FTP configuration older files can hang in the SAN or the FTP and this can cause this error as well. Very frustrating.
Another possible source for this error is if you've created your system with a new version of an incoming file and then go back to import older ones and find the error ... check that all the fields are there! I discovered that for a few days "back then" three fields were missing, causing this error.
I have got the same error when I am processing a file.
In my case, the problem is the expected delimiter is TAB whereas the file that I have received was a comma(,) delimited file.
When I have correct the input file format, it has resolved the issue.
I had a task that involved reading files and skiping rows if a certain condition was true. The name of the column used in there was "Pxs" and the actual name in the files was "PXS". It is case sensitive, it couldn't find the column. Corrected to caps and it works fine now.
In my case, just deleted those data flow tasks, clean designer, recreated same.. mentioned error got resolved. Its Microsoft :(!
-check the detail message that is next to that one
-check the columns: there might be difference between what you look in this file and that is it actually

When I open my flat file connection manager, I see a warning message:
Columns are not defined for this connection manager
How do I solve this issue, or is it even something I need to worry about?
Click "Columns" in the pane on the left and define the columns of your flat file.
I am doing an "online" course and during the steps of importing a flat file I also encountered it. I could not get it to work initially. Then I aborted the import and tried again and used the " as text qualifier (even though the columns in the file are separated). It worked and I could see the correct columns in preview.
I know this might sound dumb but in my case, I accidently saved the file as xlsb instead of csv. Saving the file as the correct file type resolved issue.
I'm importing my old prestashop data to new site with updated prestashop (ver. 1.7.1.1). When I'm importing the category csv file I got this error
Errors occurred:Technical error: Unexpected response returned by server. Import stopped.
I've got other csv's naming products,customers and manufacturers. So which csv is first imported to prestashop ? I've got bit confused here.
Is there anyone can help me ? Any help is appreciated. I'm attaching the screenshot of error here.
I found that it is badly handled exceptions during the import AJAX request. In my case, it was caused by one value in the feature field in the csv import file that was larger than 255 chars. I solved it by increasing the size attribute in FeatureValue.php file on line 53.
The best way how to more info about Your problem is open Chrome Debugging tool where You get more information in case of exception during the report.
I have SSIS Package which will load .EXT file into my Database table.
The package Flat File connection manager Editor properties are
Format: Ragged Right
Code Page: 1252 ANSI (Latin-I)
Text Qualifier: <None>
Header Row Delimiter: <LF>
While trying to preview the file before loading, i am able to see all the rows in columns and
preview tab of Flat File connection manager Editor.
But in actual loading of the file, last record alone is not getting imported into table.
It was loading fine and still it is processing the file on daily basis.
Only for two days file, it was not imported last records. I am trying to find the root cause.
I suspected something wrong with the file, but i do not find any differences between the
working and not-working version of files.
Please suggest us to resolve the same. Kindly let me know if any informations required.
I ran into the same issue and did some research to find a solution that worked from me. Apparently the SSIS package had gone through a conversion from an earlier version at one point. When the conversion was done, the text qualifier property on the flat file connection was mangled. It had originally been <none>, but the conversion changed it to _x003C_none_x003E_. I opened the flat file connection manager and changed the text qualifier property on the general tab back to the proper value of <none>.
Credit goes to this thread for providing the answer.
I had a similar issue. My flat file didn't had any text qualifiers. When i added a text qualifier the package ran successfully. My guess is that the file is read as text and the CRLF is not recognized at the last line.
If you can provide a sample of the data from the file
Hi I have created basic SSIS package that reads data from Flat Txt file using comma separated and inputs into MS SQL database. Package is working alright but when there is no data in the flat file Then it displays message "No records found." when ever flat file has this message my package stops working as column mapping distracts. Any idea to solve this issue.
Note: Flat file is generated by some automatic tool I cant change it.
Sample File:
====================== Here is output ================
You can see Both Lookup Match and No Lookup are running.
you can add a data flow to count the records before the main data flow. Execute main only if there are more than one record on the flat file. The control flow would look like this:
Keep a separate flow when an error occurs and log into flat file
Refer to this for more details:
http://sqlknowledgebank.blogspot.com/2013/04/ssis-data-flow-error-handling.html
It is similar to exception handling in any of the programming lanaguages.
If the exception is unhandled , then package terminates abruptly.
Inorder to avoid that, we need to catch the exception and log it .
This avoids abrupt stopping of packages and it exeutes sucessfully.
I just need to update status of all the records which are not in the flat file so I used OLEDB command on the top of my package and updated status of all records in the table. Rest I kept my package as it is(without any changes).
I'm running an SSIS package that I made a few months ago, and ran into an odd error.
The package loads data from a tab-delimited file that's exported from an excel worksheet. Errors are redirected to an error table, which is later serialized to an output file.
With my most recent attempts to load these files, every row is rejected with the DTS_E_FLATFILESOURCEADAPTERSTATIC_CANTCONVERTVALUE error code and a column number that doesn't exist in the input file (there are 13 rows on the input, the error column is 187.
I figure that there's something not exported to csv properly, but I'm at at a loss to explain what it is. I've looked at the file, and it has the proper encoding. In addition the SSIS package builder generates the preview correctly.
When have you run into this error before, and what solutions/workarounds did you find that worked?
Some details about the execution environment: package run via dtexec, 2 parameters set on the command line. One is the working folder for the package, the other is the file name. The data is loaded into a SQL Server 2005 database.
Thanks for the help :)
Zach,
Good question, when I first started with SSIS this would happen to me all the time and there is hardly any information on why this happens. What I found is that if you delete the Flat-File/Excel Import component and the actual file from the datasources list on the bottom and then re-add it you can often correct this issue.
As I mentioned before, I am not entirely sure what causes the preview to get out of whack with what is happening but I suspect it may have something to do with the ID keys assigned to different components (just pure conjecture though).
Figured out what the error was: I was passing parameters on the command line improperly.
I was running DTEXEC as follows:
> dtexec /f "C:\Path\to\Package.dtsx"
/set \package.Variables[User::InputFileName].Value;"filename"
/set \package.Variables[User::WorkingDir].Value;"C:\working\dir\"
Either DOS or SSIS was parsing the User:WorkingDir variable incorrectly... it interpreted the backslashes within the path as escape sequences, not as path components. Updating the dtexec line to escape each backslash fixed the issue:
> dtexec /f "C:\Path\to\Package.dtsx"
/set \package.Variables[User::InputFileName].Value;"filename"
/set \package.Variables[User::WorkingDir].Value;"C:\\working\\dir\\"
(line breaks added for clarity)
It pains me when I miss the blatantly obvious ;)
