Creating Error Output for Custom Components

Hi,

I have a 2 custom components - source and destination.

I want to create an error output for each, to allow the users of my component to handle errors the way they choose.

I only found a property in IDTSOuptut90 named isErrorOut - a boolean property indicating whether this output is an error output or not.

Does anyone have additional documentation / articles / code samples regarding how to really populate the rows in the error output?

Thanks

You add the output in ProvideComponentProperties, as others, and that property is pretty much the key-

// Error Output
IDTSOutput90 outError = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New();
outError.Name = ErrorOutput;
outError.Description = "Error output for rows that caused an unexpected error.";
outError.SynchronousInputID = inp.ID;
outError.ExclusionGroup = 1;
outError.IsErrorOut = true;

In ProcessInput you would then direct rows to thje normal output or the error output.

int iError = ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection[ErrorOutput].ID;
buffer.DirectErrorRow(iError, 0, buffer.CurrentRow);

I don’t believe there are no samples in the recent batch on Microsoft.com/downloads/ and from memory I’m sure the Source sample that ships with the product includes error output usage.
