SSIS string truncation error appears to be invalid


I have an OLE DB Destination that has all string fields as Varchar(MAX). When I run my package, I get the infamous Truncation error on my summary column (My data source has Summary Column):

Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column " Summary" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page."

My package fails, but when I set the Summary column to "Ignore Failure", my package works.

I wasn't expecting that to be the solution to my problem, because my destination field is a column called Synopsis which is varchar(max). I shouldn't have gotten the error in the first place!

What's going on? Any ideas? I have searched other solutions, but couldn't find this scenario.

Solution

  • Source has some column mapping with incorrect length.
