I'm looking to use ActiveX in a DTS to copy a file from on elocation to another.
I have the code for this (attached below kindly supplied by a colleague), so that's cool.
dim filesys
set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If filesys.FileExists("D:CreditsCredits_MTD.mdb") Then
filesys.CopyFile "D:CreditsCredits_MTD.mdb", _
"C:CreditsCredits_200602.mdb"
End If
But what I'm looking to do is go one step further.
As you can see, it renames the file to yyyymm, but this is hard coded, and I'm looking for a coded solution so I can rename the file with yesterday's date.

Does anyone know how to do this using variables? Everytime I try it, I get the
Error: Failed to lock variable for read access with error 0xc00100001.
I also tried it writing a script and still the same error. If I hard code the values into the variables it works fine but I will be running this everday so that it will pull in the current date along with the filename. So the value of the variables will change everyday. Here is my expression:
Hi there, I have inherited a databse and am building a new website to go wiht it. There is a file upload page which will upload images to a directory. I need to insert into the database retrieve the id just added then upload the image renaming it in the format locID(QueryString)_ImageID(retrieved from database).jpg The page has a file upload control and a button. I am trying to write my code behind so that when the button is clicked it inserts location id into the images table retrieves Image id. Renames the file and uploads it to the images folder. II think i need to call the routine from another routine for the button click but the signatures are different, where am i going wrong? or for that matter have i been pissing into the wind for the last 4 hours?

I want to move and rename a file and embed the date/time into it, so that each time the package runs a new file is created. For example MyFile_20060712_150000.doc.
Can someone give me a hint how to do this with the File Systen Task SSIS Control Flow Item?
Could someone please instruct me on how to use the File System Task Editor to rename a file? I place control on control flow tab, change the operation to rename, from there I am not sure what to do.
I am attempting to export a records to an excel file using DTS and then use activex to rename the file to include the date it was run. To do this i just move the file.
However when the script is run, it fails saying that permission is denied on the "move" line. I have seen other reports saying that permission is denied when using the "CreateObject" however i have implemented the changes it says, ie/ adding the SQL Agent login using the DCOMcnfg utility and renaming the DefaultAccessPermission key in the registry, with no success. It also doesnt seem to fail on that line anyway.
I have also added all the groups and usernames with full control to the security of the folder the file is in to no avail either.
Does anyone know the best way to handle this type of situation?
A file coming into a directory based on the date filename042707 I use the fileexist stored procedure to check for the existence. I use xp_cmdshell(sp)... stored procedure to rename the file so that it just has filename instead of the date.... I can not use variables within the xp_cmdshell to replace the date... everyday the filename would change to filename042807,filename042907 etc....
Basically I know how to copy the file to another directory if it exists... then I want to strip the right 8 characters off... rename just to that but with the rename i have to know what the file will be named for that day ... excuse the grammar just somewhat tired... any suggestions... please thanks time for sleep
I have a question regarding transforming a text file from a folder into a table using DTS. The text file is on a different server and the name is in the format --- Orders040105.txt I am able to select the file using 'FileSystemObject' as the file required changes everyday, but I do not know how to use the file for the transformation using ActiveX Scripting. I have 2 'Activex Script Tasks' in the DTS Package--- one for selecting the text file and the other for the Transformation.
Function Main() ??????????????????????
DTSDestination("Order_Date") = DTSSource("Order Date") . . . End Function
Does anyone have any examples of using VB to automate a DTSPumpTask to import and transform a flat file. How do you use the dtsffile.dll OLE DB provider for an ADO connection or command object? I would like to create a task to transform a flat file and be able to pass in various parameters to make the load flexible. If possible respond to ScottMiles@Epotec.com
I have an ActiveX script running in a DTS package that checks for the existence on an Access.mdb file (using the filesystemobject), deletes the file if it's there and then re-creates a fresh empty Access database (using ADOX). This is great except one problem. If someone has the original Access mdb file open while I'm running this script, it's impossible to delete the file while its 'in use'. I'm not sure how to get around this problem. I've tried researching the filesystemobject to see if I can close the existing file before deleting it but the only Close method I found applies to text stream documents created with fso.
Does anyone have any ideas about how solve this problem?

I need to rename this db and be able to set a path to it. This is because my webhost places all SQL databases on a seperate drive. This is a shared drive with alot of other databases. There fore my ASPNETDB.MDF needs to be renamed and have a path assigned. This doesnt seem tro be taken care of in my web.config file? Can some one help in reasigning the default database name and pathway. my other databases were pretty straight forward. Thanks
Hi everybody, I am running DTS export data evry night, where my MyTable is being transformed into MyTable.txt. In my MyTable which sits in sql 7.0 I have a field which shows today's date as julian date ( today julian date is 109). Is there a way to write a procedure/trigger which will rename MyTable.txt on daily basis into MyTable109.txt for today; MyTable110.txt for tomorrow; etc... Kind of stuck with that.. Thanks alot, rudi
if i have a given database (a model) and i want to copy this database in the same database instance. Is it ok to copy the mdf and ldf file and attach the files with a new database name in the same instance.
Hello All,I am trying to create a DTS package.I have two tables tbl_A and tbl_B with similar data/rows but noprimary keys.tbl_A is master.I would like this package to query tbl_A and tbl_B and find1)all rows in tbl_A that are different in tbl_B, 2)all rows in tbl_Athat are not present in tbl_B and3)all rows in tbl_B that are not present in tbl_A, and then just showthose rows.Can this be done with a simple UNION?Perhaps this could produce a temp Table that can be dropped once theDTS package exists successfully.The 2nd part after all the above rows are retrieved is that I wouldlike to add an addional Column to the retrieved data called STATUSwhich has 3 possible values(letters) at the end of each row...M (modified) means that row exists in tbl_B but has 1 or moredifferent columnsA (add) means this row exists in tbl_A but not in tbl_BD (delete) means this row exists in tbl_B but not in tbl_AI'm hopping this DTS package would output a nice comma seperated TXTfile with only...1) rows from tbl_A that are different in tbl_B (STATUS M)2) rows from tbl_A that are not present in tbl_B (STATUS A)3) rows from tbl_B that are not present in tbl_A (STATUS D)Can a DTS package in MS SQL be used to perfom all of the above tasks?I would very much appreciate any help or any advise.Thanks in advance :-)
I have a dataflow task that creates a text file and posts it in a FTP share. In need to rename the file attaching datestamp(current date of package execution) at the end of filename. For ex: My dataflowtask creates a file called 'Samplename.txt'
I need to rename it to : 'Samplename20080225.txt.
I think it can be done using the File task...I see an option to rename the file but not sure of how to configure the task to attach current datestamp.
I see some suggestions online, but complete steps on how to implement the above would be highly appreciated.
I love SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), but it doesnt let me name the tabs when exporting to Excel. The feature is well documented as not being available.
So I figured I can use the cell(1,1) on each tab to contain the tab name, and have an SSIS job poll a file share, open the file, read the cell, rename tabs, rename the file, and then email out the file. Polling the directory and emailing is a piece of cake, but I can't find any way to rename a tab without having Excel loaded on the SERVER. Not to mention instantiating an entire instance of Excel on the SERVER every time I want to do this.
I want to leverage SSRS, and preserve the formatting of the excel file, which is why I don't just dump the data in with SSIS to begin with.
Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.
