A very simple package, reads data from SQL Server and FTPs it to a destination. I have zero experience with SSIS.
I had to add a new column (HEA_ID) to the input and output. The output record has a filler at the end (I hope you know what a filler is) and the new column has to go before the filler and the filler length reduced accordingly.
Problem: there is no apparent way to place the new column anywhere but after the Filler. The filler in the metadata is the wrong length and there is no way that I can see to change the length.
There is a yellow exclamation mark on the Flat File destination (where the filler is wrong length)
I get these erros when I run the updated package.
"The external metadata column is out of sync with the data source column. The column 'HEA_ID' needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection".
"The column filler needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection"
I have no idea how to fix these errors. Help needed.
