SSIS Set Destination Table Name - ssis

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.

Import/Export wizard fails on export to Excel

I am exporting a table from sql server to Excel using the SSIS Import/Export wizard. In Proceed step, I get a warning icon in each record regarding conversion of types. If I ignore then the export fails after clicking Finish in the last screen.
I search in Stack Overflow regarding this but unable to get relevant answer...
SQL table fields and their type are below:
CREATE SomeTable
(
EmpId numeric(9)
, Name varchar(50)
, Address varchar(50)
, ContactNo varchar(50)
);
Error that comes is written below

(SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
I've seen this error before and it could be a result of several things.
1) Make certain that in the Data Conversion Transformation Editor that the fields Name, Address and ContactNo have a Data Type set to "Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with a length of 50 in order to convert from SQL Server to Excel.
2) if you are working on server, make certain that Run64BitRuntime is set to True (otherwise for set it to False). This you can check by right-clicking on the package name (first item under Solution Explorer on the right side of the window), selecting properties and then Debugging under Configuration Properites.
3) Under the Data Flow tab, double-click the source OLE DB item, select Connection Manager and verify that the values are being pulled by selecting Preview at the bottom. It may be possible that you are not pulling the data correctly and that is throwing off the conversion step.
4) Lastly, compare the settings between the Data Conversion Input vs. Data Conversion Output. This is done by selecting the Data Conversion task and selecting the hyperlink for "Show Advanced Editor" under Properties. When the window opens, select the tab "Input and Output Properties." In the left pane, expand the Input columns and Output column folders to view the three fields. By selecting on a field you can view the properites. Make certain that the lengths are correct and that the Data Type Properties are defined correctly. As mentioned before, the output for each should be "Unicoce string [DT_WSTR]" with a length of 50.
Hope this helps.

SSIS Use DataFlow task with variables instead of a source database

I have a task that I am working on that has me stumped. Hoping you can help me. I am using a data flow task which is basically inserting a row into a sqlite table. I was doing this using a "SQL Task" but unfortunately the only way to successfully insert a guid into the sqlite table is to convert it as a byte stream using the data flow task. I do not want to use a source database because my data is not flowing from one table to another. I really just want to take my populated variables and convert them to a byte stream which i can then insert successfully into a sqlite database. The issue is, i cannot use a dataflow task without a source database.
My work-around so far has been to declare a source database/table and only one column (but never use it in the data flow). This works fine and I am unable to insert the row into sqlite using my pre-set variables, but i am left with a somewhat annoying message in my Output log every time i do this:
Warning: 0x80047076 at , SSIS.Pipeline: The output column "" (117) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (11) and component "OLE DB Source" (1) is not subsequently used in the Data Flow task. Removing this unused output column can increase Data Flow task performance.
Anyone know of a good way to get this warning not to show up?
In your dataflow choose a Script Component.
When prompted to choose Source, Destination, or Transformation, choose Source.
Add your pre populated variables to the CustomProperties.ReadOnlyVariables section of the script tab.
Go to the Inputs and Outputs section.
Add a column to the default output for each of your variables.
In your script (if using C#) put something similar to the following in the CreateNewOutputRows() section
Output0Buffer.AddRow();
Output0Buffer.ContainerName = Variables.ContainerName;
Output0Buffer.TaskName = Variables.TaskName;
Output0Buffer.TaskStartDate = Variables.ContainerStartTime;
Save your script.
Connect your script component to your destination object.
If this is causing your package execution to get failed, you got an option of ignoring these warnings/errors..
Just double click the Source block in Dataflow and navigate to the last tab("Error OUtput") in left side pane and you need to select the option to ignore the errors. (I dont know eactly what phrase in that option will do it )

What are the non-obvious causes of a data type mismatch while loading data in an SSIS package?

I'm very new to SSIS, so please bear with me. A developer gave me a SSIS package and asked me to create a scheduled job on our database server to run it. He says it runs on his development box but I'm seeing the job fail with the following data type mismatch error:
0xC020837F The data type of column "output column 'col1' does not match the data type "System.Byte[]" of the source column 'col1'"
I opened the package in Visual Studio, and in the Input and Output Properties of the item, it shows both the External Column and Output Column as being of data type database timestamp [DT_DBTIMESTAMP]. I checked the source column on the server and verified that it is a datetime column. Are there any other reasons this error could be thrown?
This looks like your source table definition is not the same on development and production environment. Since You didn't provide enough details about what kind of source component and what connection manager You use and what is your source query (maybe You CAST or CONVERT some data), we have to make some assumptions.
As stated in SSIS Error and Message Reference, error code 0xC020837F (-1071611009) has name DTS_E_ADOSRCDATATYPEMISMATCH and description:
The data type of "" does not match the data type "" of the source
column "__".
From error name (DTS_E_ADOSRCDATATYPEMISMATCH) and error message part "System.Byte[]" I conclude that You are probably using ADO NET Source source component.
For a start check following: open properties of source component, uncheck particular column and check it again - this forces source component to refresh external and output - this trick works for oledb source it might help You also
If that doesn't help, check following links to see if some of your source data types map to System.Byte:
Integration Services Data Types
SQL Server Data Types Mappings (ADO.NET)
Working with Data Types in the Data Flow
Probably, on either development or production environment, column is of timestamp, image, varbinary or some other type that maps to managed System.Byte[] but on the other it is not. Please recheck source tables definitions.
If this answer doesn't help You, please post create statements for your source tables as well as source query itself.

Error in retrieving data from Excel File

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.

Errorneous Row numbers in a SSIS task

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.
