How do we redirect error/failed data to another table in SQL Server, during data importing in SSIS 2008 ?
In a particular data flow component - in Configure Error Output, choose to redirect the row. You may need to add some derived columns after that, and then union all your errors from different parts of your package together if you have just one unified error output.
Cade's way will work for any errors.
If you have data that you know in advance you want to redirect (say states that are not in a list of official states or people with no address), then you can do a conditional split and redirect the rows that way. I prefer to check for known problem issues rather than just to rely on something failing insert to avoid sending things to my datbase that might actually go into the filed but which are data I don't want. For instance I got a file that had the phrase "Legistlative restriction" in the last name field - this clearly wasn't a person, so I redirected the rows. But the actual text would have fit in our lastname field and the record would have been inserted if I had just reliedon error output.

Hope you're well. I'm currently building out a report, but despite my best efforts so far, I can't get some information to populate within the report. It does not appear to me that salesforce is recognizing the field "Agent Incoming Connecting Time" within the object "AC_Agent_Performance". However, I can pull in some other fields within the same object into the Agent Performance report, so I'm not clear on what is not taking place in the field that I wish to see within the report. Here are some of the things that I've tried:
I have checked the access to the field. The first photo (Photo 1) Shows an example of a working object, the the second one shows an example of one that does not.
The API name seems to work, and is consistent with other fields within the object that work.
I have checked the page layout for the object (even though I don't think this is the issue), and I have mirrored other fields to the best of my knowledge that ARE populating within the report.
I reviewed the CTI flows to see if there was something missing in there on a lark, but there was nothing in there that would lead me to believe that this was the source of the problem.
I have tried setting up a new field in the object (formula), that references the field that I'm trying. to pull in, but that just returns a result of 'zero' for all values.
One thing that I have done that appears to be working, is I have set up a joined report, which uses both "AC Agent Performance" object and "AC Historical Queue Metrics" object in the report. The result that is returning appears to be accurate (please see the picture (picture number 3)). However, I don't think that this is the right way to go about this, and I don't want to do it this way. I want to use the report with one object rather than with two.
I know that permissions are the most likely issue, so I've taken a close look at these. Please let me know if there is something wrong with how I have the permissions configured. The First image depicts the 'Field Level Security'. The second image depicts the'field accessibility'. They are both like this, the whole way down:
Please note one other thing, which is that the last picture depicts a different field within the object displaying in the report.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can proceed so the field "Agent Incoming Connecting Time" will display within the report?
Please also note, that these are objects that contain data that is populated from AWS' Amazon Connect.
This last photo, shows that the object does not have any information in it within the report.
If the field isn't populated there's not much you can do on the reporting side of things. You already tried "joined report". You should check why the integration doesn't populate it, maybe read integration documentation, contact the managed package's support...
The tables are connected with lookup or master-detail, right? In a pinch you could try making formula field on "AC Agent Performance" looking "up" and pulling the value from related AC historical queue metrics. If the relationship is other way around (performance -> down to related list -> metrics) you could try to make-do with a master detail and rollup summary field. I don't know this package, no idea if you can pull it off when you don't have full control over the fields.
If you can't really use the relationships and absolutely need to report on single table - you could capture intermediate results of the report to a helper table and then report on that. It's called "reporting snapshots". Or write some nightly (hourly?) batch that recalculates stuff and writes homemade "rollup" to these fields?
While running a mapping I am getting couple of database errors and jobs failed
1.) Arithmetic Overflow error
2.) Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.
This is purely data issue(datatype error and data length issue) and I want to reject these records and write it in a separate error table.
The .bad files in which these records are written consists of characters which looks like junk (',N,N,N,N' AND ',D' AND ',0'), I am not sure on what basis we get these characters.
Do we get this for null values? and how to overcome this and get the exact output?
Is it possible to write these rejected records directly to a relation table(error table with same structure as the target table) or a way around to achieve this?
You could use a router transformation to route every field which does not meet your criteria to the error table. This way you will handle them before they become bad rows.
Hey Vankat just lookig at you problem try to filter out the records which doesn't meet your criteria by putting condition like (data type,length)at router transformation and route them to error table or capture that recods in a flat file. Hope this will give you a clear picture.
I tried to find documentation in the subject but fell short until now.
I am trying to use Logic Apps in order to update a table when a trigger occurs.
Adding some context:
In many separate excel online file that are located in different area of Sharepoint, I have one Table in each of those files. Anytime the SQL table is updated, I get the following elements:
Name
Age
path_to_doc
doc_id
Name and Age are element I wish to add in those Excel file.
path_to_doc is the path to the Excel file that needs to be updated.
doc_id is the id of the Excel file that needs to be updated.
In the "Add row to a table" action, those are the elements that need to be filled:
Site (Manual no problem, this doesn't change) Document Library
(Manual no problem, this doesn't change)
File (this is where I have a first problem: when I do not click
manually, and try to put either the "path_to_doc" or the "doc_id"
instead, it doesn't work.
Table (It seems that I can force it to be Table1), which is fine
because all my Excel files have the table called Table1
Arguments (that is Azure understands the Table and is componnents and
asks you to fill the ones you need to fill, those elements disappear
when you change from a manual input to an input "path_to_doc" or
"doc_id").
It throws me an error:
ERROR 400
NOTE: When I do it manually, it works.
Anyone has experienced this and found a solution?
Thank you
You don't need to use Expression.
For example, if we want to get tables of the modified Excel, we can do like this:
A similar flow in SharePoint:
Finally found the answer.
I needed to go to the code view and add my dynamic details there for the body.
Thank you for your help.
Here is the solution. I hope it helps others :)
In the designer view, create an action "Add a row into a table" and use the dynamic path that brings you to the excel file that you need to update. It will show an error and you will not be able to add the body arguments.
In the code view, now you can manually add the body of the request to include the element you wish to update in the Table of the excel file.
That's it!
I am trying to import data from database access file into SQL server. To do that, I have created SSIS package through SQL Server Import/Export wizard. All tables have passed validation when I execute package through execute package utility with "validate without execution" option checked. However, during the execution I received the following chunk of errors (using a picture, since blockquote uses a lot of space):
Upon the investigation, I found exactly the table and the column, which was causing the problem. However, this is problem I have been trying to solve for a couple days now, and I'm running dry on possible options.
Structure of the troubled table column
As noted from the error list, the trouble occurs in RHF Repairs table on the Date Returned column. In Access, the column in question is Date/Time type. Inside the actual table, all inputs are in a form of 'mmddyy', which when clicked upon, turn into 'mm/dd/yyyy' format:
In SSIS package, it created OLEDB Source/Destination relationship like following:
Inside this relationship, in both output columns and external columns data type is DT_DATE (I still think it is a key cause of my problems). What bugs me the most is that the adjacent to Date Returned column is exactly the same as what I described above, and none of the errors applied to it or any other columns of the same type, Date Returned is literally the only black sheep in the flock.
What have I tried
I have tried every option from the following thread, the error remains the same.
I tried Data conversion option, trying to convert this column into datestamp or even unicode string. It didn't work.
I tried to specify data type with the advanced source editor to both datestamp/unicode string. I tried specifying it only in output columns, tried in both external and output columns, same result.
Plowing through the data in access table also did not give me anything. All of them use the same 6-char formatting through it all.
At this point, I literally exhausted all options I could think of. Can you please point me in the right direction on what else I could possibly try to resolve it, since it drives me nuts for last two days.
PS: On my end, I will plow through each row individually, while not trying to get discouraged by the fact that there are 4000+ row entries...
UPDATE:
I resolved this matter by plowing through data. There were 3 faulty entries among 4000+ rows... Since the issue was resolved in a manner unlikely to help others, please close that question.
It sounds to me like you have one or more bad dates in the column. With 4,000 rows, I actually would visually scan and look for something very short or very long.
You could change your source to selecting top 1 instead of all 4,000. Do those insert? If so, that would lend weight to the bad date scenario. If 1 row does not flow through, it is another issue.
(I will just share my experience, how I overcame this problem, in case it helps someone)
My scenario:
One of the column Identifier in the ole db data source has changed from int to bigint. I was getting the error message - Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.
Basically, it was telling me the source data size was greater than the destination data size.
What I have tried:
In the ole db data source and destination both places, I clicked "show advanced editior", checkd the data type Identifier was bigint. But still, I was getting the error message
The solution worked for me:
In the ole db data source--> show advanced edition option--> Input and Output Properties--> OLE DB Source Output--> there are two options - External columns & Output columns.
In my case, though the Identifier column in the External columns was showing the data type bigint, but in the Output columns was showing the data type int. So, I changed the data type to bigint and it has solved my problem.
Now and then I get this problem, specially when I have a big table with lots of data.
I hope it helps.
We had this error when someone had entered the year as 216 instead of 2016. The data source was reading the data ok but it was failing on the OLEDB destination task.
We use a script task in the data flow for validation. By adding a check that dates aren't too far in the past we are able to trap this kind of error and at least generate a meaningful error message to find and correct the problem quickly.
Epicor - what a beastly creature!
Epicor asking for password after making a table change, any idea why?!?!
We removed the relationship from the (part table) and set up a criteria, instead. Now it is asking for a password, which should not be happening.
the login happens when I try to run the report. I am trying to figure out what I did to aggravate Epicor. The table was already there. I removed the relationship (part table) and added a criteria, instead, otherwise, that is exactly what I would have done. The only reason that I did not add a table to a report data definition, like I originally wanted to is because the parts table could only be added once. Which is why I removed the relationship and added a criteria, instead.
From your description, it sounds like the problem is related to the xml generated by Epicor for a non-BAQ based report data definition. Crystal and SSRS reports ask login information when either there is more than one datasource is referenced in the report, or there is improper relationships defined.
Note:
If you are not a report developer and you have modified this in an attempt to change the end data, I recommend you contact the report developer responsible for maintaining these before proceeding. Otherwise, read on.
Based on my experience, I would say if you are confident in the new relationship structure you have in the report data definition, the solution to this problem is likely within the report itself. Generate an xml file by running a test report, then open the .rpt (or .rdl) associated with this report and set the datasource to the new xml file. This should update the new xml schema used as the datasource. Even if none of the fields were changed in the data definition, the datasource schema definition that is stored in these files define exactly the data formatting that the report expects to receive when it is opened by Epicor.
If that doesn't solve the problem and you are using Crystal, the xml relationships may be defined in a way that will effect the way the data is displayed, which can be adjusted by using database expert->links tab in crystal. You should reconnect all of the links to match the report data definition within Epicor.
If none of that works, open up and view the xml file.
It is not unheard of for report data definitions in Epicor to break behind the scenes when altering relationships, and the xml file generated by the test report may not be a fully-qualified xml file. I have seen many xml files that do not have elements closed, etc. that will cause various problems when attempting to run the report. In this case, my recommendation is to create a completely new report data definition (do not copy), and re-enter all of the parameters that existed in the former definition. Repeat the refreshing of the report datasource as described above and this problem should be fixed.
