Invisible component in SSIS Dataflow package - ssis

Everytime I run my data flow component, it gives me a validation error on a component whose name I cannot find in the editor! I think it happpened when I did ctrl-c on an existing component, and did ctrl-v. and it was successfully pasted, but somehow I can't see it, and therefore can't remove it!. My package is damaged as a result. Any ideas?

Can you see it in the XML when you select View..Code in Visual Studio? Or can you select it from the object drop down list in the Properties window?

SSIS- Cannot Create user component - Component Entry Point Attribute

I created a Data flow task, with a simple flow inside.
The script component type is destination.
First I look for some data from my database, then I transform it, and finally insert it to my CRM database.
I'am using Microsoft.Xrm sdks.
Here is the error I'm getting
Reading the error, it says that I have to make sure there is one class marked with SSISScriptComponentEntryPointAttribute
I confirm that the scriptMain class is already marked
For information, even is the script component is blank, I mean as is when created , without my code, it stills giving the same error.
And I don't have any build or analysis error

Missing some components in SSIS toolbox in Visual Studio 2017

I am using Visual Studio Community 2017 for developing SSIS packages and I use SQL Server 2016.
Some of components are not in SSIS Toolbox.
This is that I have now:
and this is my colleges have(They don't have the same version of Visual Studio that I have):
For example: I need to add a XML Source component to one of my Data Flow but there is not anymore in Other Sources sector in SSIS Toolbox.
I tried to add the missing components (Tools -> Choose Toolbox Items ->) but I don't have the tab for SSIS component.
How can I add those components (For example XML Source) to my Toolbox?
I have found the cause of this problem.
By changing the TargetServerVersion to SQL Server 2016 in Project properties. My project has been converted and now i have this component in my ToolBox.
Now, I have XML Source component in my SSIS ToolBox.
I can confirm the answer given by Ardalan Shahgoli resolved my missing component. I have captured a screenshot demonstrating the problem and the resolution. In my example, I was missing a component 'Excel Source Plus' from the 'CozyRoc' addin
PROBLEM:
Missing some components. The data flow has the component on the canvas, but there are of error messages in the Error List window, and you are unable to edit the component. For example, you might see an error message such as this:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Validation error. Alt Data Flow_Merge Data Task: Alt Data
Flow_Merge Data Task: The component metadata for "Lookup Plus, clsid
{8DC69D45-2AD5-40C6-AAEC-25722F92D6FC}" could not be upgraded to the
newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method
failed. SSASUsageStats.dtsx 0
RESOLUTION:
Changing the TargetServerVersion will effect which components are available in the 'SSIS Toolbox'. As seen in the screenshot, there are tons more components after changing the project property TargetServerVersion. For example, 'Excel Source Plus' is found. The Data Flow canvas now has an image by the icon. And the component now has an 'EDIT' option.

Continue adding input file rows to table after an error using SSIS

I’m a newbie to SSIS, and have an issue with a package that has been puzzling me.
My company has SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio 2008 (also, SQL Server 2008 R2). On the Control Flow tab, I have two executables: an Execute SQL Task (Truncate_crm_account_Table) that truncates the SQL Server crm_account table, and a Data Flow Task.
On the Data Flow tab, I have a Flat File Source that opens and reads a pipe-delimited file, and an OLE DB Destination that moves the rows in the input file to the crm_account table.
Data Flow tab
On the Event Handlers tab I have created an OnError Event Handler for the Truncate_crm_account_Table, and an OnError Event Handler for the Data Flow Task. Both OnError Event Handlers are an Execute SQL Task object that writes the error encountered to a SQL Server error table.
This all works fine if there are no issues with the data. When there is an error with the data (for example, on row 10,000), the package writes the records that have passed through its butter to the crm_account table (say, 9,000 or so records). The package also writes the error to the error table, and then stops. What the Project Manager would like the package to do is to continue processing the remainder of the input file after encountering the error.
After reading through a number of forums and posts for SSIS issues that are somewhat related to mine, this is what I have done so far. On the Control Flow tab, for the Data Flow Task, I’ve set MaximumErrorCount = 0 and noted that FailPackageOnFailure = False (also, FailParentOnFailure = False). I’ve seen some posts that mention to set the System variable Propagate = False. Both of these I’ve done, yet the package stops after encountering the error on row 10,000.
System Variables
I don’t know how many records will be in the input file. So, I believe that using a For Loop Container would not be a good object to add to the project. As I’m very new to SSIS, I don’t know whether the ForEach Loop Container or some other object is the way to go. How can this package be minimally modified so that it continues processing the remainder of the input file after encountering an error with the data?
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.

In the data flow tab in the source node, find the error output section on the left side. Click it and change the applicable column in question to 'ignore failure' under the error column.

SSIS: Data Conversion Package failed

I was trying to load a table from Excel Source to SQL Server Destination with a data conversion transformation task using SSIS Package. but when I ran the package, it failed with the following error messages

I had the same issue, and found that the file I was attempting to import had a non-printing character at the end of the second header. Removing this fixed the issue.
Since you're looking to resolve this "urgently", I'll make both a short-term and long-term suggestion:
1) For the short-term, a practical approach:
Does it work, in your situation, to load the spreadsheet in sections?
Will it hurt anything, for you to re-try/re-do the load multiple times, to find the problem?
Or, can you try this load in a test environment?
If so, then try loading the first-half, or the first-1/4, or first 10 rows, etc., until you find the row that's causing the problem. At the very least, you can then load everything but that row... at best, maybe the problem will be easy to find, at that point.
2) For the long-term... do you (or somebody there) have access to modifying the SSIS package?
If so, then I recommend coding error row redirection, within the Data Flow Task: rows with problems go to another destination (red arrow), while rows without problems go to the usual destination (green arrow).
For more on error row redirection, see these links:
A) Intro: Handling Errors in Data
B) Some issues others have run into:
Programmatically configuring error and truncation dispositions for row redirection
Hope that helps...

SSIS Execute Package task notification if path does not exist

I have created a master control package that calls several packages using the execute package task control. I have set all the package file locations to use a sql config table which contains the file location and then used an expression to include the package name. Everything works as expected however I want to include some handlers to notify me if the package location does not exist (just in case somebody changes the path in the config table). To test I set an incorrect file name in one of the expressions which turned the execute package task control red as expected however I can't figure out how to add the notification task. I have tried all the error handler events assocaited with it but no joy plus I added a mail task to the task in question for failure and this did not execute!
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
That's why you have OnError event handler, just configure it properly. Are you sure, you're checking Event Handlers for the package and not for one of the blocks inside?
There's a plenty of system variables with OnError scope. Check grey x in Variable window to see them. You might want to use:
- ErrorDescription
- ErrorCode
- SourceName
but choose them according to the report format.
Now in event handler create a script which will put a message into a new variable, and finally send it with send mail task.
