Slowly Changing Dimension Wizard

  • Hi,

    I used Slowly changing dimension wizard in my project to get changing records to datawarehouse. But, I m getting some weird results. when I updated the records in warehouse table and run the package, all the newly updated values come under expired values and old records show up as the new values. I checked all the package and everything seems to be good. can any one help me in this?? any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...

  • Hey,

    Remember that SSIS is case and space sensitive, so even if it may appear that nothing changes, something may in fact be changing

  • yeah..but my problem is...for the new records it shows as old records and old records as new records....is it like any time settings do i need to change?

  • Havent worked enough with the SCD wizard to know it off by hand. But I havent heard of any kind of time settings.

    Why dont you test with a small subset first, and see if you can simulate the same behaviour

  • yeah...Thanks for your reply....I already did the samething...I just took 10 records and tested it...It does nt work..

  • Just re-check the settings in the wizard. You have your expired indicator set backwards. I know the SCD components works correctly for using a boolean to mark records expired and for using it with the dates. You just have something backwards.

    You may have just been looking at it too long.

  • Thanks Michael...I m using the dates(start date and end date)...but Where can I find the settings?? I ve been trying to solve this past a week...

  • Hey...I got it...Its just I was updating the values in the dimension table instead of the source table...i went mad really...anyway thanks for both of you ...
