Hi
I am trying to read orc files so that I can take the data from them and load into a sql database.
I am using the SSIS package that was an addition to SSDT and its an azure addon (SSIS AZURE Feature pack https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/integration-services/azure-feature-pack-for-integration-services-ssis?view=sql-server-ver15 ) called flexible file source.

But every time I use the format as ORC files and give it a folder and file I get the message 'java se is required to use orc/parquet format'....
So I follow the instructions here and install oracle java se (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/integration-services/azure-feature-pack-for-integration-services-ssis?view=sql-server-ver15#dependency-on-java)
So I then run the ssdt I made with a data flow to connect flexible file source and I keep getting the same error............I have tried a few versions of java se and none seem to work...........I keep getting the error..........I have tried in 32 and 64 bit versions.
All help appreciated.

    I get the same error after installing Oracle SE runtime. Putting the mouse over the red x shows the message: Column mapping is missing

    The solution was that after installing Oracle Java 8u192, you have to follow the instructions of the Zulu JDK installation:

    1. Download and extract the installation zip package.
    2. From the Command Prompt, run sysdm.cpl.
    3. On the Advanced tab, select Environment Variables.
    4. Under the System variables section, select New.
    5. Enter JAVA_HOME for the Variable name.
    6. Select Browse Directory, navigate to the extracted folder, and select the jre subfolder. Then select OK, and the Variable value is populated automatically.
