I am importing a text file into SQL server table which has got number of constraints. I have created one package and associated tasks.
At the end of a SSIS package execution, I want to know the erroenous row numbers which were not succefully exported to DB. Is any direct API or variable available in dts namespace to give this information?
Kindly share with me any knowledge to get this information.
Thanks,
Rahul
The error (red line) output of your import step inside the data flow lets you redirect to an error table. This should list the information you are after.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms140083.aspx
Error Outputs ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms140080.aspx )
Sources, destinations, and transformations can include error outputs. You can specify how the data flow component responds to errors in each input or column by using the Configure Error Output dialog box. If an error or data truncation occurs at run time and the data flow component is configured to redirect rows, the data rows with the error are sent to the error output. By default, an error output contains the output columns and two error columns: ErrorCode and ErrorColumn. The output columns contain the data from the row that failed, ErrorCode provides the error code, and ErrorColumn identifies the failing column.
For more information, see Handling Errors in the Data Flow.
Redirect the error rows on the destination component, pipe them through a count operation and then log that to a log table or whatever.

I have a flat file where rows have ids in form of guid. What I need is to redirect error output to table which will have error row id, error column and error code. The problem is that I can map only "Flat File Source Error Output Column" which is some sort of other columns concatenation. Is there a way I can get the ID column value of the error row? The best solution I could find is to add counter which will give the row number, but that's not exactly what I need, as ids are strings in my case.
Nope. You get 3* columns from the Flat File Source Component's: Flat File Source Error Output Column, ErrorCode, ErrorColumn.
A Source component defines the columns that all row buffers "downstream" of that point will contain. It is responsible for adding rows and then filling the columns in that new row buffer.
The Flat File Source component has a contract that describes how it should consume the source data - this many columns, this delimiter (or this many characters) etc.
What happens though when something overflows a length, or the data type is incompatible or not all of the delimiters are present? The design decision is to either put incomplete rows into the pipeline (but then how do you determine which columns get populated - fill left to right? what about type mismatch?) or treat it as an error. Normally, this blows up the data flow but if you add an Error output path, then you can see what row failed.
And the row is the atomic unit the flat file is using as input.
Read line -> Parse -> Write to Output [or Error] buffer {loop}
You could then use a Script Task to try and parse out the GUID from "Flat File Source Error Output Column" but then you have to hope that the value is in the row. It could be that a column has an embedded delimiter that wasn't escaped, someone transferred the file using the wrong encoding/line endings, etc.
*The Flat File Source Component does expose a property in the advanced editor, Component Properties tab for FileNameColumnName and that too will show up in the Error output path but that is the only source component I am aware of with this behaviour.
This is what happens every time I try to run the package:
It appears this error is coming from a data flow task where you are trying to apply a text or Excel file source and import to a database destination. The initial errors, which are likely causing the later ones, are due to an inconsistency in the data types. Some of the source fields are defined as a Unicode where a non-Unicode is expected. The message shows this is taking place with columns VILLE, HABITATION, and PROFESSION.
This can be corrected by inserting between the source and destination data flow tasks a Data Conversion. Here you can convert the data types creating new fields that can be applied in the destination task mapping.
Hope this helps.
HI, Can you help me to figure this out? Is there a way to get the row in which error occured in ssis? I have this flat file with some 10k + records which is being read via a 'flatfilesource'.
Right now the error output defaults to error-column, error-code, and 'flatfilesourceerroroutputcolumn' - and i use a script-component to handle it. But none of these three inputs (to script component) are user-friendly enough. So i want to get an output like the first column-value(this is a unique identifier) of the row in which error occured. How can I add that?
While debugging this in SSIS, you can add a Data Viewer on the path to where your script handles error. This path has all the columns of the original row where your error is.
If you want to handle your SSIS errors and also do something else with it, you can direct the error output from your flat file source to a Multicast and then send one stream down to a file, a table, or something else ( a Recordset destination and a subsequent foreach loop on the object used to store the Recordset will let you do stuff on a row-by-row basis on the errored row(s)).
I have an excel file. I wanted to pull the data from excel file to SQL Server table. And the data is successfully transferred. In the excel file, I removed a text from one column named Risk from one row.The text was lengthy one. Now the package execution fails at the source ie from the excel file. The errors are shown as
[Audit [1]] Error: There was an error with output column "Risk" (100)
on output "Excel Source Output" (9). The column status returned was:
"DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
and
[Audit [1]] Error: SSIS Error Code
DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "output column "Risk"
(100)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error
row disposition on "output column "Risk" (100)" specifies failure on
error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified
component. There may be error messages posted before this with more
information about the failure.
the error occurs when I remove this particular text from this row and when I clear the whole data except the column names and reenter a new data. And even if I replace the excel file with the same name and same column names but with different data.
Make sure that the excel is closed before you run the SSIS package. Plus try refreshing the meta data by opening the SSIS package, going to the columns section in the source and destination data flow items. There seems to be no other problems or you have described/observed it in the wrong way.
I just ran into this...don't recall seeing it before in 10+ yrs of using SSIS. Google-ing found a solution. Right-click on the Excel connection>>Advanced Editor>>Input and Output Properties. Open the "Output Columns" in the Excel Source Output treeview, and find the pesky column. Change the ErrorRowDisposition to RD_IgnoreFailure.
This got me part way - I had to go in and change the DataType property and the length afterwards to get it to work. Then I put the ErrorRowDisposition back to fail and ran it only with the changed DataType and length, and it ran.
Play with these options and see if you can get it to work; I'm assuming that the data type change fixed it.
I have an SSIS Package that needs to load data through an oledb component into a table whose name is not known until runtime. In the oledb destination editor I have selected "Data access mode" as "Table name or view name variable". I have entered my "Variable name" that holds the name of the table. When I hit the preview button I am presented with a preview of the correct table. However, when I attempt to run / debug the package I get the following message at the validation stage - before the package even attempts to run:
Information: 0x4004300A at Check Recs and Insert, DTS.Pipeline: Validation phase is beginning.
Error: 0xC0202042 at Check Recs and Insert, Insert Into TransactionX table [2269]: A destination table name has not been provided.
Error: 0xC004706B at Check Recs and Insert, DTS.Pipeline: "component "Insert Into TransactionX table" (2269)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".
Error: 0xC004700C at Check Recs and Insert, DTS.Pipeline: One or more component failed validation.
Error: 0xC0024107 at Check Recs and Insert: There were errors during task validation.
SSIS package "PointsPartnerImport.dtsx" finished: Failure.
It says A destination table name has not been provided. but it has! Has anyone had a similar problem?
What programmatic format are the data in? I had a similar problem today trying to import data from an Excel spreadsheet. It turned out that the spreadsheet's name had a " " (physical white space) in it. SSIS wasn't too happy about that. But for whatever reason, the problem resolved itself after I replaced that white space with an _ (underscore).
As to why, my guess is certain characters should generally be avoided in titles such as white spaces or hyphens. There may be characters in addition to the white space that give a similar error (hyphens?).
Are u setting the variable to a default value? Check this article out: msdn thread
Make sure the Variable name has a default value and it matches the first sheet name in your Excel workbook. SSIS needs to load the first worksheet during design time, you cannot skip this validation.
Spaces or special characters in the Sheet name will not affect the functionality.
