Assign Variable For FileName Of Source File
Aug 10, 2006
I am wanting to capture the file name I am using to load data from and use it in a SQL statement to insert it along with the data that I load.
I am using a ForEach container to load all my .txt files but cannot figure out how to capture the name of each source file as it loops through the files and then add it to my insert statement that is populating my history table. I would think that the ForEach container has that information, but I do not see how to access it and assign it to a variable that I could use in my SQL statement.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi,
I am migrating one of my DTS package to SSIS.
My task is to read the filename from a database table and transfer the flat file data in to a table.
In SSIS,I am able to fetch the file name using a Data Reader Source; but how to pass this fileName parameter to Flat File Source ?
In DTS I have used ActiveX script to pass filename variable as flatfilecon.Source.
Any help ?
Thanks,
Ravi

Is there a way to configure the XML source component to use a schema file whose filename is in a variable? Now I know it doesn't make any sense to have an XML source whose schema can vary, however, I have a parent package with a ton of child packages, all of which process the same XML input using the same schema. What I would like to do is for the parent to load the filename of the XML input file into a variable, and the filename of the XML schema file into another. Each child would have its XML source configured to pickup these variables from the parent, so that if the location or name of the schema changes, I don't have to edit each package one-by-one. However, it doesn't seem possible to specify anything but a filename for the schema. Any suggestions?

My task is to write an SSIS package that picks up just one file from a directory and loads it into a database table. The filename is defined as being "ABC*.txt". So I must pick up only one file that matches that wildcard.
I can see two ways of doing this, but I can't get either to work:-
1. Use a Flat File Source connection and put the wildcard in the ConnectionString.
i.e. ConnectionString = "C:\mydirABC*.txt"
But SSIS doesn't seem to support that.
2. Use a Foreach Loop Container with a Foreach File Enumerator, and configure the enumerator as:-
Folder = c:mydir
Files = ABC*.txt
This works well, but loops round for as many files match the wildcard. Is there any way of forcing it to drop out after the first time round the loop?
Or am I missing a much easier solution?
Thanks.

I have a raw file destination and am using a variable to store the filename. In an earlier task, I create the value in the variable. User:Filename ... set to C:Test.txt.
When I run the package, I get the "Error: 0xC0202070 at DFT Tekelec Call Events, RFD Tekelec [1365]: The file name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters". error. I then set a breakpoint to examine my variables on the DataFlow pre-execute event and found my variable showing the value "C:\Text.txt" ... so apparently XMLA is adding the escape character when it stores the value in the variable but not retracting it when it uses the value as the filename.
What am I missing? Can I not use pathing in the variable? And if that's the case, how do I specify a path. Went back through my Rational Guide to Scripting SSIS but did not find this addressed specifically ... my second option being build the fiilename by script and set the raw file destination property directly via script.

How do i use the foreach loop container and pass each file found according to a specified pattern to a Flat File Source in a Data Flow Task Object so i can operate on each file found in the foreach loop object instead of having to specify a static file name
Thanks

I have created a File System task which is contained in a Foreach Loop Container. I have .bak files that are populating a directory from a maintenance backup plan.
There is a point where I need to delete the .bak file's after I've zipped them all up.
How do I set the SourceVariable to read through the directory and pick up just the .bak file's in the directory to delete.

I am trying to make a SSIS package that will loop trough all files in a directory and load information from them.
I can do this with Raw File Sources since they allow me to use a variable name as the file path, but I cant seem to do the same with Flat File Sources. Is there a way to change the connection to a Flat File Source on each iteration of a loop? Actually, if this is possible with all types of file sources (like excel files) I would love to know about it too.
I was thinking about renaming the file through a script task but that does not seem like the most elegant solution so decided to see if some one here knows of a more proper way before I go that direction.

I am writing a package that will process delimited flat files that will come in one of a few different versions. Within each flat file, the number of delimited columns will be the same, but each version of the file has a different number of columns. I have tried configuring the flat file data source to expect the version with the largest number of columns, but it will then throw away rows that have less than this number of columns (warning: There is a partial row at the end of the file).
Is it possible to use a single flat file data source that will work with all of the different width files?

Does anyone know how to execute a directory listing of a file and return the file name to a variable in SQL? For instance, there's a file called c:datach20011010.txt and i execute the following:
xp_cmdshell 'dir c:datach*.txt'
or any other transact sql or procedure, how can i get the filename into a variable...all in sql?
FYI - I need to pass a filename to a process so that it can bcp the data into a temp table. But I don't know the filename at the time the process is setup/scheduled.
TIA,
Mike Nolen

How do I assign XmlDocument results to a variable (so that I can pass it to a sp)?
I know that the following code works....
select * from tblUsers where userId = 1225 for XML raw
It returns "<row UserId="1225" LastName="Evans" FirstName="Stephanie" MiddleInitial=...."), which is what I want. But when I try to assign it, I get an error "Incorrect syntax near 'XML'."
declare @strXml nvarchar(1000)
set @strXml = (select * from tblUsers where userId = 1225 for XML raw)
Ideas?

Hope I can make this clear...
I have to download a file via FTP from one of our vendors, the filename is MMDDYYYY.zip, this is a weekly file and is posted between Tuesday and Thursday, so basically I never know exactly what the file is going to be called, to fix that, I added a FTP Task that will download a file if the date = today (Today = Thursday, when the job kicks off), if this fails, try a file where the name = today-1 (Wednesday), if this fails, try today-2 (Tuesday), all of that inside of a Sequence Container and with MaximumErrorCount set to 3. This is fine and it works fine, good.
Now my other issue, the .txt file inside the zip file (1080.txt), after being decompressed, needs to be renamed to MMDDYYYY.txt, where MMDDYYY = to the file I downloaded, but I never know what the file is going to named (MMDDYYYY, MMDD-1YYYY, MMDD-2YYYY).
Is it possible to output the filename of the file that I successfully download to a variable, so I can re-use name?
Any other thoughts?

I'm trying to write a stored procedure in SQL that will make a copy of a file and then append the current date to the end of the copy's filename. I'm storing the date in a variable called @currentdate which is defined as:
declare
@currentdate varchar(10)
set @currentdate='' + 'select datepart(month,getdate())' + '-' + 'select datepart(day,getdate())' + '-' + 'select datepart(year,getdate())'
Here is the SQL code I'm using:
exec xp_cmdshell 'copy "C:DevelopmentParticipant Limits ReportParticipant Limits Report template.xls" "C:DevelopmentParticipant Limits ReportParticipant Limits Report ' + @currentdate + '.xls"'
GO
The resulting file should have a filename something like "Participant Limits Report 3-31-2008". I get an "Incorrect syntax near '+'." error.

Why does the raw file have an option for a variable path and the flat file destination does not? Not having this feature makes it impossible to work with variable environments. Please add this option to the Flatfile Destination.

Hi All,
may be i'm asking a question that was discussed for billion time, but i can't find exact answer.
So i have access database that generates .xml or xls files by pressing button. So user select from drop down menu id ( e.g. 100,101,102,103 etc) and then file 101.xml or 102.xml or 101.xls or 102.xls is generating.
i need SSIS package to be configured to get filename is variable and then use insert data from xml or xls file to the related table
I don't understand how to pass file name through variable to SSIS package and then work with so called "variable".xls or
"variable".xml file. Could you please give detailed answers if it's possible?
Your early reply will be very much appreciated
Thank you

Greetings once again,
I am trying to achieve a seemingly simple task of assigning datetime value to a user variable at the point my package starts running. How can I do this without using a SQL Script Task? Should I be using a script task for this or is there a simpler way to achieving the same thing?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using a stored procedure to create a table in sql 2000. One of the columns is an identity column. I need to set the seed to a max(number) from a column in another table, this column is not an identity column and can't be changed into one. I've been trying to set the seed by passing a variable. I continue to get errors so either I've got the syntax wrong or it's not possible to set the seed via a variable. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Hi this is probably a very stupid question, but I still need to know.
How do I set the result of a 'SELECT' statement to a variable? I know I can use CURSOR, but I am certain the SELECT statement will return either 1 record or NULL. Can I use something else apart from CURSOR?

That's an easy one. I've got a Send Mail task which might send a message in plain text along with a SSIS variable.
Something like that:
'La tabla "' + SUBSTRING( @[System:ackageName], 3,20) + "' se ha cargado correctamente'

Hi
I want to use a variable in a number of SQL statements as paramenter. But I am not sure how to assign the value I want to the variable. The value I want is the maximum week number from one of my tables. I know how to put this value into a new table (which is one field and One row), but I cannot see how to pass this value to my variable. Using the table in my SQL is not straight forward unfortunately, at least not for me.

Greeting.
I have a dataset (ORDER BY Column1) like the following in the data flow task pipeline
Column1 Column2
1 A
1 B
2 C
2 F
3 T
3 R
3 X
4 M
I only need data of 1, A;
2, C;
3, T
4, M
That is when Column1 value changes. I think we can store the column1 value in a variable as a previous row value. Then I can compare the variable value with the current row value and see if the column1 value changes. Can anyone please help me how to implement this? Or if there is other way to implement it
.
Thanks.
