DIXF-DIEF - source to stage cuts strings

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Sven Joos 811
All, when you have a string field in the staging table (eg. str 10), but in the source file this was supplied as a longer string (e.g. "ABCDEFGHIJKLM") then NO error is thrown when you load the source into the staging table. This feels a bit in contradiction to the whole file failing when you try to load a string into an eg. int field. Now you have the risk that you are loading data into the system and you are losing information or at least you should be made aware that you are losing data. Is it possible to get an error when someone is trying to load a longer value into a string staging variable? Kr, Sven

    Hi Sven,

    Indeed there is no error. I had the same problem once. Probably you can try to customize it yourself, but the system is also using SSIS components to load the data more efficient. Probably some code is in a dll which could make your requirement  more difficult. I have not looked into the technical part of loading the data from a source file.

    Hi Sven,

    Staging table is the de-normialized table. Staging table string data size is same as  target table data size except container/separator value. if you increase the size in staging table make sure it should sync target field size.You can validate the file data in DMFgenerateSSISPackage with ur custom logic but it will bring performance issue. like valiadetTextFile method.

    Thanks
