Transfer Error Types and Error Handling

Transfer processing errors are classified as structural errors and values errors.

Structural errors, for which the access service cancels the transfer process before any rows are transferred.
Value errors, which occur on a row-by-row basis during the transfer process.

Structural Errors
Structural errors occur because of incompatible datatypes or number of columns.
Value Errors
Value errors occur during bulk-copy transfer or destination-template transfer processing when the value being inserted either cannot be converted to the target column’s datatype or is out of range for the target column’s datatype.
