DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "Fuzzy Lookup" (60) failed with error code 0xC0202009 while processing input "Fuzzy Lookup Input" (61)

March 4, 2010 12:21 by Ryan Garaygay

Encountered this error in one of recent tasks involving SSIS Fuzzy Grouping and Lookup.

[Fuzzy Grouping Inner Data Flow : SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED.  The ProcessInput method on component "Fuzzy Lookup" (60) failed with error code 0xC0202009 while processing input "Fuzzy Lookup Input" (61). The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running.  There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.

[Fuzzy Grouping Inner Data Flow : SSIS.Pipeline] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRIMEOUTPUTFAILED.  The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (1) returned error code 0xC02020C4.  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.

[Fuzzy Grouping [800]] Error: A Fuzzy Grouping transformation pipeline error occurred and returned error code 0x8000FFFF: "An unexpected error occurred.".

This is the only relevant error message or code that I got and didn't seem quite helpful. More...
