Troubleshooting a replication task

A data overflow error occurs when I run a replication task that writes MySQL data to a flat file.
When a replication task writes MySQL data with the BigInt data type to a flat file and the data length is greater than 10, a data overflow error occurs because the replication application converts BigInt to Int (10). To prevent the data overflow error, change the BigInt source data type to Decimal.
