Introduction<\/h2>\n

Many times during your ETL process you receive files which are in different encoding than you expect. Example all files are in UTF-16 format but your application expect them to be in UTF-8. Or Sometimes files are in ASCII format and you want to convert to UTF-8.<\/p>\n

In this post you will see how to use Advanced File System Task<\/a> to convert multiple files into desired encoding (e.g. ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16).<\/p>\n

Steps to Convert file encoding for Multiple Files in SSIS<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Download and Install SSIS PowerPack<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. From you SSIS Toolbox drag Advanced File System Task<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Double click task to configure it<\/li>\n
  4. Select “Change Encoding of files” action from dropdown as below screenshot<\/li>\n
  5. Enter path or pattern for source file you want to convert to different encoding<\/li>\n
  6. Select desired encoding from Encoding dropdown (e.g. if you files are in ASCII and you want to convert them to UTF-8 .. just select UTF-8)<\/li>\n
  7. Execute package and observe SSIS execution log to find out which files are converted to new encoding.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
