I have success in moving data from our AS400 to a new SQL instance, however there are a few tables with RichText or other Binary (image) files. The datatype on the AS400 is Alpha 500. I just tried to do a 1-for-1 integration to SQL using varchar(500), but I get errors
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED. The PrimeOutput method on ODBC Source returned error code 0x80004005. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
If I were to use a Raw File destination, would there be a way then to write that into the field in the SQL table? What would be the best practice for this? I notice too that there is a column in the AS400 table that references the datatype (rtf or htm) for this blob column
