Re: SQL 2005, DTS & Integration Services column mappings...

Hello Roz,

DTS was more forgiving of datatype and sizing mismatches. SSIS screams at you. Could it be that DTS massages the data in whereas SSIS will not and therefore omits?

Allan,

I appreciate your continued assistance. The report and log file
(created during migration) showed no errors. None. The report at the
end said "Success".

I'm truly baffled here.

Hello Roz,

I have just migrated a package from 2000 --> 2005 which was a single
task Flat File (Source) to SQL Server and everything including
mappings came over.

Were there an errors in the report?

Hi Allen. The transformations are straight Column --> Column
mappings. I'm not doing anyway Ax transformations, or anything
fancy. I have simply have a flat file that is comma delimited, and
an importing into a table. In the original column mappings exist,
of course, but when I migrate the package to SQL 20005, everything
comes over (source, destination connection info, etc) EXCEPT the
column mappings. I'm having to redo them one by one.

Is there anything special about the transforms? Are they AX

One of the things a lot of people including myself will have to
"live " with is that the upgrade will not be possible for some
things in complex packages and in a lot of cases it would be better
to redesign from scratch anyway.

Can you tell us about the package that did not migrate and we can
see if we can replicate?

Hello, all. Just started using SQL 2005 this week, and am
migrating some SQL 2000 DTS packages to our new server. These
packages are simple flat file comma delimited source file to SQL
table destination packages. Surprisingly, and sadly; I've noticed
once migrated to SQL 2005, my column mappings aren't retained in
my packages. Some of these packages have over 60 column mappings
that must be remapped, and that's no simple task as my
source/destination don't match up 1 for 1 in order.

Microsoft couldn't have overlooked this small, but important
detail. Please tell me there's a way to retain column mappings.

Waiting in San Antonio,

Roz
