OLE DB Source Error Output

In the Input and Output Properties tab under Advance Editor for OLE DB Source, I cannot remove columns. I copied this Source from a standard template and have made the normal changes to make it work. However I keep getting this error...

Error: 0xC020837B at Load Server Security, OLE DB Source [1]: The output column "DBName" (1632) on the error output has no corresponding output column on the non-error output.

Error: 0xC004706B at Load Server Security, DTS.Pipeline: "component "OLE DB Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".

DBName of course is one of the columns that no longer exist, but I can't remove. Whenever I try to remove one of the columns, I get this error...

Error at Load Server Security [OLE DB Source[1]]: The column cannot be deleted. The component does not allow columns to be deleted from this input or output. Is there anything that I can do to remove the columns? Is there just a simple setting that I can change to make this work?
If you just double click on the OLE DB source, you can choose "Columns" on the left hand side and unselect the columns you do not want in the data flow.|||There is a problem with that though because I can't make any changes within the source. I always get the error...

Invalid object name 'tempdb.dbo.Server_Roles. This is because the table isn't created yet. It gets created when the connection manager connects to each server. It is a temporary table. Thus, it won't let me make any changes that I can't make in advance editor.

Why don't you create the table somewhere else, get it configured properly, then change the table name afterward?

That doesn't work. Currently I created a table in the temp directory and pointed the connection manager towards that DB and server. I still can't click on column and I can't change anything unless I hit cancel. My guess is that it may not be connecting to the server and DB correctly. I don't get any explanation for the error, its just one of the H errors.

ole db source editor "preview" throwing an error

i have a data flow configured to use a ole db source. the ole db source uses an ole db connection manager pointing to the adventureworks db which suceeded when i tested its connection. the data access mode of the ole db source is "sql command". below is the sql command text:

SELECT SpecialOfferID, Description
DiscountPct, Type, Category, StartDate,
EndDate, MinQty, MaxQty, ModifiedDate
FROM Sales.SpecialOffer
WHERE ModifiedDate >= ? AND ModifiedDate < ?

this query uses 2 paramaters, each of which is mapped to a datetime variable which falls with the range of the ModifiedDate column as follows:

Parameter0: User::ExtractStartDate

Parameter1: User::ExtractStopDate

ExtractStartDate is set to 7/1/2001 and ExtractStopDate is set to 3/31/2004. however, i get the following error when i press the preview button in the ole db source editor: "there was an error displaying the preview. additional information: no value given for one or more required parameters (microsoft sql native client)".

as far as i can tell, i have the ole db source configured correctly. thus, i can't figure out why this error is being generated. has anyone else experienced this issue? if so, were you able to resolve it? is this a bug?

thanks in advance.

Hi Duane, once you use parameters in your query, the query will not be able to parse or preview. It's a pretty normal hassle you'll get used to :).

thanks for the reply. i wonder if this is a bug or a "feature".|||

Not sure it's really either. It was the same way in DTS. Essentially the provider can't parse the literal query. Probably the ultimate answer is to perform the preview and parse like Reporting Services does where it pops open a box asking for the variable values you'd like to parse. As it stands, SSIS or DTS doesn't have enough info to perform a parse.

OLE DB Source Editor

hi,

I am using SSIS to extract data from sql server and import into MDB file. In
the process, under data flow task, I have used OLE DB Source Editor as source. Here
i have choosen SQL Command as mode of data population. In the box below i
have typed the following statements.

"Exec Site_Address"

I have used many temperory tables in this procedure.
When i run this procedure in the query analyzer window i get the desired data which has to be imported to an MDB. After typing the above statements and when i
click the button preview i can see the data. But when i click the
Columns.... i dont see anything there. I am unable to see any columns there.
This is getting to my nerves because, when i use OLE DB as Destination i am
unable to map the columns and i get an error.

I dont know how to solve this problem. cannot we map columns in temp tables .... or wat is it ?

Please help me to find a solution.

I will also paste the procedure code that i have used.

Create procedure Site_Address

as

begin

create table #Data_For_Site_Address_Table

(

unitid varchar(20),

city varchar(50),

cust_num varchar(40),

zip varchar(20),

CountryID varchar(20),

CreatedBy varchar(20)

)

-- tblcrdsiteaddress

insert into #Data_For_Site_Address_Table

select distinct * from

(select

(select top 1 fsu.ser_num

from fs_unit fsu

where ca.cust_seq <> 0 and fsu.cust_num = ca.cust_num

order by ca.city desc) as UnitID,ca.city,ca.cust_num,ca.zip,

CASE

WHEN ca.country like 'Luxembourg' THEN 'LU'

WHEN ca.country like 'Deutschland' THEN 'DE'

WHEN ca.country like 'Austria' THEN 'AT'

WHEN ca.country like 'Czech Republic' THEN 'CZ'

WHEN ca.country like 'Denmark' THEN 'DK'

WHEN ca.country like 'CHINA' THEN 'CN'

WHEN ca.country like 'CROATIA' THEN 'HR'

WHEN ca.country like 'Egypt' THEN 'EG'

WHEN ca.country like 'Germany' THEN 'DE'

WHEN ca.country like 'Hungary' THEN 'HU'

WHEN ca.country like 'Jordan' THEN 'JO'

WHEN ca.country like 'Korea, Republic Of' THEN 'KR'

WHEN ca.country like 'Poland' THEN 'PL'

WHEN ca.country like 'Switzerland' THEN 'CH'

WHEN ca.country like 'United Kingdom' THEN 'GB'

ELSE '- N/A -' END AS CountryID, CA.CreatedBy

from custaddr ca

) al

where unitid is not null

Select TT.Unitid as Short_Site_Name, TT.City as Site_Name,'N.A' as Street_Po_Box,TT.Zip as Postal_Code_City, Null as State_Region,

TT.CountryID as CountryID,Null as Zone, Null as Note, TT.CreatedBy as UserID, GetDate() as Date, 'A' as [Action]

From #Data_For_Site_Address_Table TT

END

Thanks.

I just did a quick search in the forum and found a couple threads dealing with SP being used inside of an OLE DB Source:

This, particularly, seems to talk about same issue:

Hopefully this should explain the problem:

I knew I have read about a solution somewhere; I just could not remember the exact place.

Good stuff Jamie!

Well it wasn't at the above link cos I only wrote it about an hour ago

-Jamie

|||So, probably I dreamed about it. |||

thanks Jaime... that was great.

The problem is solved when i used a function......

But there should be a way how to use a sproc right ? In another posts that you had written, saying SET FMTONLY can solve the issue. i tried using it, but it was futile.

Any clue how to use it ?

No, in some circumstances I just don't think it can be done. Where did I suggest SET FMTONLY?

okieee.... i am sorry again.... i thought it was you suggested using that statement. It was somebody else.

Thanks for your help.

OLE DB Source & SQL Command

Hi,

I am trying to set the OLE DB Source Editor. I am using the following option for Data Access mode

SQL Command from a variable and uses my sqlQuery variable.

sqlQuery variable contains a sql statement but I am getting the following error

ox80040E0C, Command text was not set for command object,

Additional information HRESULT 0xC0202009

Does it mean I have to give the variable name containing the stored procedure?

Please Guide

Do you get the error at design-time or runtime?

What value is in @.[User::sqlQuery]?

-Jamie

|||

Ignore this, When I pass the name of stored proc it works fine

Thanks for you help
