I am importing flat files to a SQL Server DB. I have a for each loop containing a dataflow task which has a flat file source, OLEDB destination and flat file destination for errors. I set the error output settings to redirect rows, I notice one of the flat files has row(s) missing delimiters. Quotes and commas. This is causing it to hang. I've found similar solutions
but they haven't worked, like setting alwayscheckforrowdelimiter to false.
Thanks!

i have a OLE DB SQL Command with a flat file destination and have added to column headers to the flat file but when executing package I get the below issue. is this because I have 2 extra columns in flat file?
Sounds like your package got corrupted. Your best bet is to drop and re-create the flat-file Destination Connection Manager, and then re-add the connection to the Destination.
Probably a basic SSIS question ...
I have a Loop Container which loops over a directory of Excel File and imports and moves each individual file to another folder ( About 380 Excel Files).
Please no comments about not using a robust file format for importing that volume of files in SSIS, as I completely agree.
The problem I have is that many of the Excel Files, about 80 had Excel File import Errors and I had to stop , put the problem file aside and restart about 20 times before I could identify all the problem Excel files to manually fix.
So is there any way I can get the process to skip problem Excel Files that cause the Excel source in the Data Flow to go RED, and just process all the good files?
Finding a solution to this will save me at least an hour when running the process ?
This is SSIS 2008.
You can achieve this by setting the task property ForceExecutionResult to Success.
If you are looking for something more robust
I got these error message while importing data from flat file to sql server table using import export wizard in ssms :-
The mapping window :-
I know there is a issue regarding datatype mismatch,how should I overcome that?
As per error, it indicate that your flat file is not in proper format, in file some of the row has messing (, or tab) delimiter.
i have created the SSIS package to load the comma delimited flat file data into the Sql server destination table.To Achieve this i have used Data flow task, flat file source and ole db destination.I have configured the flat file connection manager with comma separator as a column delimiter and row delimiter as a "CRLF".
in this case, package is successfully imported comma separated flat file data into the SQL server destination table.
Now question is, Do we have any option to send any records with Pipe Delimited to an different folder containing only error records.
I have to import data from a .txt file using SSIS package into sql server.
How can we find the:
Format
Text Qualifier
Header row delimiter
Row Delimiter
Column Delimiter
of .txt file when defining the "Flat File connection manager Editor in SSIS"
Does SSIS autodetect these things when we select the file?
