SSIS 2005 - not writing data to OLE Destination

  • i am having issues getting a field to update in a data flow. i have a simple OLE Source (SS 2005), a Lookup, then an OLE Destination (SS 2005). all fields come through as expected, with the exception of 1. i added a data viewer to the path between lookup and OLE Destination and the data is there. i also changed the destination to a flat file and the problem field, as well as all others comes through fine. i am receiving no errors at all.

    NOTE: the trouble field is a foreign key so i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

    Source pulls employee ID from a staging table

    Lookup looks to employee ID in employee table and returns Division and Department

    Destination should write employee ID, Division, and Department but leaves off Department.

    thoughts???

  • Is the Department field in the pipeline mapped to a destination column?

  • yes it definitely is mapped correctly. i even deleted the OLE Destination and recreated it to make sure SSIS hadn't "forgotten" to update something. it's also coming through just fine in the data viewer. the only thing remarkable about this problem field is that it's foreign keyed against another table but i also have other fields in this same data flow that are foreign keyed that are updating just fine.

  • I had to ask.. You wouldn't believe the number of times that it was that simple.

    You might add a row counter after the destination and connect the error output then add a data-viewer there.. See if any errors are getting kicked out. You also might see if you can trace the connection.

    I have to admit that short of a bad mapping I haven't seen it drop columns that ARE mapped. I have seen it redirect them to the error output because of bad foreign keys..

  • nope, no records being kicked past the destination. no errors or anything at all.

    how would one go about tracing the connection as you mentioned? it's just driving me crazy because i can see all the data come through the viewer that i have just in front of the destination. it's just not putting the values in the table.

  • I'm wondering if you might not be patched..

    It seems to be similar.

  • i think i'm on at least SP3 but am downloading SP5 to make sure i have all the hotfixes to date. will let you know how that goes.
