Remove a given
character from a
string (ex. Remove
"-" from a social
security number)
Script Transform in the Data Flow Task with the code as follows (VB 2008):
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
Public Overrides Sub Input()_ProcessInputRows(ByVal Row As Input()Buffer)
Remove any nonnumeric data from
a column
Convert text to
proper case
(ex. 1st letter in
each word is
uppercase)
Round to the
nearest two
decimal mark
Solutions
Solution: Configure the Foreach Loop to loop over any particular directory of
files. The loop should be configured to output to a given variable. Map the
given variable to a connection manager by using expressions.
Conditionally
executing tasks
Pass in variables
when scheduling
or running a
package
Solution: Use the /SET command in the DTExec command line or change the
Property tab in the Package Execution Utility to have the property path like:
\Package.Variables[User::VariableName].Properties[Value]
Loop over an
array of data in a
table & perform
a set of tasks for
each row
Solution: Set the File System task to rename the file and point to the directory
you'd like to move the file to. This enables you to rename and move the file in
the same step.
Solution: Have the 1st Execute SQL Task retrieve a date from a control table of
when the target table was last loaded and place that into a variable. In the Data
Flow Task, create a date range on your query using the variable. Then, update
the control table using a 2nd Execute SQL Task to specify when the table was
last updated.
Solution: Use the lookup Transform or Merge Join to detemine if the row exists
on the destination and ignore a failed match. If the row yields blank on the key,
then you know the row should be inserted into the target (by Conditional Split).
Otherwise, the row is a duplicate or an update. Determine if the row is an
update by comparing the source value to the target value in the Conditional
Split. The update can be done by an OLE DB Command Transform or by loading
the data into a staging table.

Solutions
Parameter
with
dropdown
box
Solution: Create an additional dataset that with populate the parameter dropdown
box. Change the available values page of the parameter to get values from a query.
Select the dataset that you created to populate the dropdown box.
Solution: Cascading parameters means one parameter can populate the contents of
the next parameter. Create additional datasets to populate each of the dropdown
box parameters you want. When writing these datasets you will want to make sure
that the lower level only shows values available in the higher level. The datasets
may look like this:
Select distinct EnglishCountryRegionName From DimGeography
Select distinct StateProvinceName From DimGeography
