This made my life miserable. I am trying to import some data from a text file and load it to an SQL table. in between the transfer, I am making a transformation with look up component.

its like Flat file source--> Lookup( which should join and give me the result)--> oledb destination.

Now, when I try to load data without using Look up then I am able to do it but when Look up comes in the scenario then bot transfer and transformation falis and I have been loking for the solution for two days and nothing worked out.

Please somebody help

Kunaal, I did something similar to this yesterday and it worked! What are trying to do? What I did exactly was, in the 'Columns' tab of the lookup task, I right clicked on the available columns and created a mapping i.e the source and destination column to map. I also chose the column that I needed as output from the task ( I needed a different column as the output than which was used in the comparison). I had re-directed the unmatched rows to the error output and if there were any unmatched rows, I failed the package! Does that help you?

Hi haarish,

I am sorry for the late reply. Well, What I was doing wrong was in Look up settings. In General tab--> Specify how to handle rows with no matching entries, I had mistakenly selected option --> Redirect rows to error output instead of " redirect rows to no match out put.

That was the problem and now it seems to be working fine. Thank you very much for your concern Haarish.

Anything
