Source Type 200 in SQL Server Import and Export Wizard?

Question

I am trying to import data from one database in a server to a new table in a different server, using SQL Server import and Export Wizard. (SQL Server Management Studio 2012)

Answer 1

A long-term solution (besides Microsoft fixing it) (or have they already?) is also a few links deep from the answers posted.

On the affected machine, there is an xml file that defines a code-to-value mapping for each transform type.
What is seen with the "200" & "201" causing a failure, is a missing mapping
....well, it shouldn't have come through as "200/201", but as it did, we wish it were mapped

It can be inserted manually, if you are willing to play with such configurations.

Here is where I got the answer, quite a ways down the page: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/97ff1f01-c02a-4c9a-b867-8eaecc464cfb/2012-sp1-no-longer-recognizes-common-data-types?forum=sqlintegrationservices

The mapping files are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\MappingFiles\
(or equivalent)

There is one for each type of source-to-destination transform.

For going between SQL Servers, look at ones such as
MSSQLToSSIS10.XML
MSSql9ToMSSql8.xml
MSSql10ToMSSql9.xml

Where you see

    
        varchar
    
    
        
            DT_STR
            
        
    

Add the "200" mapping to match such that you end up with

    
        varchar
    
    
        
            DT_STR
            
        
    


    
        200
    
    
        
            DT_STR
            
        
    
  

Fix nvarchar and any others in the same way!
