I've created an export scenario using "ACH Provider" in ACUMATICA, the problem is when it creates the file, at the end of the data, it creates lines without data (space lines)... I would appreciate any suggestion to avoid this kind of issue.
Flat file example
I found the issue… ACH provider has BlockSize parameter where you can assign a value. I put 1 and the blank lines have deleted from the flat file...

I have a flat file connection manager that reads data from a file that I have constructed with a Powershell script. The fields in the file are delimited with a vertical bar (|) and each field is qualified with the ¬ character (mainly because some fields contain either vertical bar or double quotes).
I have set up my flat file connection manager with the text qualifier specified like so:
Clicking on preview I can view the data just fine, everything appears to be working.
I then add a flat file source, hook it up to my flat file connection manager, hit the Preview button and that all looks great:
Yet, when I run the data flow, the text qualifier character (¬) is appearing in each field, like this:
Can someone please explain to me what is going on here? Because I cannot figure out why this is happening.
I tried the suggestions mentioned in the question below with no luck:
SSIS Flat File Source Text Qualifier being ignored
On my route I need to load a new body from a file, based on a reference to the filename in the original body.
In more detail:
I have two files, one xml file (1) which contains metadata about the second file, e.g. the full path of the datafile (2).
file EP reads xml file from filesystem
find full path to the datafile
load the datafile as new message body (or aggregate them)
Is there a component for that? Or do I need to code that myself?
Thx
You can use the content-enrincher. Something like this to get you started:
from("direct:start").setHeader("filename", constant("datafilepath").enrich().simple("file://${headers.datafilepath}") .log("${body}");
I am trying to create an app which has a predefined set of data(currently a text file) and it reads from it, now how should i implement the data storage such that when i share the app with someone else, i don't have to pass the text file or any other data file(if possible, i can encrypt the contents and give it using a different extension) externally. I just want to give one exe file to the person and the data should be included inside the exe.
anyway to do it ??
Thanks in advance
Include the text file as a resource.
You do not need to change the build (if you are using Visual Studio that is). Visual Studio will embed the resource/file and generate a readonly property for the file so you can access it directly from within your code:
string fileContent = YourResourceFile.TheEmbeddedFile;
You could split the fileConent per linebreak but the previous line will load the entire file into memory.
string[] lines = fileContent.Split(new string[] { Environment.NewLine }, StringSplitOptions.None);
If the file is too big to be read into memory at once, you could stream the resource as explained here.
You can change the build mode of the file to resource/embedded resource, reading from it works different then, this should be answered somewhere though.
I want to read a single file (the file is a html document) from my computer and store it in a Corpus (I'm using the package tm).
Do you have any solution to do that?
Here is what I tried :
data<-read.csv(fileName)
c2<-Corpus(VectorSource(data))
it mostly works, but I sometime get the error : more columns than column names
I guess I'm not supposed to use read.csv for a webpage, as I didn't find a better solution.
Thanks for your help =)
A webpage definitely does not conform to the specifications that a CSV should. Instead you probably want to use the readHTMLTable function from the XML package.
This is grabbing from an actual webpage but it should be the same idea
file <- "http://xkcd.com/"
dat <- readLines(file)
c2 <- Corpus(VectorSource(dat))
Am attempting to use SSIS flat file source to read a log file being actively written to. Looping and waiting for the file to be released is not practical as this is an active log file held by a service.
Ideally, I'm looking for a setting upon the flat file source, similar to the C# code below. If not that, what route can I take to read the flat file? I'm attempting to stay within SSIS as I sincerely can't believe this can't be done with stock parts and assume I'm just missing something.
Using C#, I can successfully open the exact file upon which the flat file source errors
System.IO.FileStream file
= new System.IO.FileStream
(
file_to_hash.FullName
, System.IO.FileMode.Open
, System.IO.FileAccess.Read
, System.IO.FileShare.ReadWrite
);
This is the error message experienced in SSIS:
Warning: 0x80070020 at Data Flow Task, Flat File Source [1]: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Error: 0xC020200E at Data Flow Task, Flat File Source [1]: Cannot open the datafile "XXX".
both ideas by tim and cade would work. I chose Tim's approach - copying the file b/c I already had the code ( both the copy and the data tranformation ), and changing the name/path of the file going into the data transformation was a configuration setting of the app being built. Wish I could mark it answered, but asked the question as an unregistered user.
You probably need to write a custom data source - possibly as simple as a script task.
