DTS Buffer times out when inserting to sql destination

I have a lookup component which determines if a record is to be updated or inserted. If it does not find match for a particular row that row is sent to the error output of the lookup component from where it is bulk inserted into the database using sql server destination.

Now the problem is when there are no rows to be inserted, the DTS buffer times out throwing an error. However if i increase the timeout or set it to 0, it hangs on indefinitely.

Is there a way that i can ignore the sql server destination when there are no rows to be inserted.

Thanks

What happens when you replace the SQL Server destination with an OLE DB destination?|||

How big is the data set being processed?

It is likekly the SQL Server destination is trying to insert the whole data set in one transaction. If you use OLE DB DEtination you will have more control over the commit and batch size.

|||The problem is when there are NO records. When there are records to be inserted, SQL server destination works fine. But when there are no records, it kinds of start waiting for the records and then times out. Any ideas?|||

Hi Amna,

feel free to open a bug for this on the connect site.

In the meantime, you should use the OLE DB destination with Fast Load. It should not have a significant impact on the performance.

Thanks,
