Hello Everyone,
Hope this post finds you well. The attached issue occurred during an import process. Here's the steps I took ingeneral.
DB1 - collation Latin1_General_CI_AS & DB2 - collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
1. Generated scripts from DB1 to create new database. selected FT Index and Triggers to script and chose not to script collation.
2. Created new DB named DB2 (collation SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS).
3. Disabled foreign key constraints - set simple recovery across the board.
4. Right clicked on new db and chose import data (copy data from one or more tables and views).
5. Edit mappings: checked identity insert and drop and recreate tables.
6. Unchecked all DB views.
7. Launched process.
It reported that it ran successfully except for the attached error under Validating.
I noticed that the mdf and ndf (FText) files were significantly smaller than the original db. I did a data compare and lots of data did not come over. I did this same import in our development environment. Exact versions of SQL Server etc. The only difference between this environment and our development environment is that this one is physical and dev is virtual.
The closest article our there I've seen on the issue is the one I attached at the top. I am thinking there is a problem with the SSIS install on this server. I am going to try the same task on the second node to see if that error occurs.
