Check If A File (pattern) Exists Using A Script Task

Dec 6, 2007

Hi,

I need to check if a file exists (using a filename pattern as the filename will be dynamic) in a directory.

I am trying to use the File.Exists() method in a Script Task. However, it does not allow me to do something like -
File.Exists("C:Files*.xls")
Or
File.Exists("C:Filesabc*.xls")



Any help on this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
B@ns

SQL Server 2008 :: Check If File Exists Using Script Task

Mar 17, 2015

I need to create a script task in sql server 2008 R2 to check if a file exists in a directory. For example, to see if output.dat exist under c:results. If the file exists, then send out an email stating the file exists, if not then send out another email stating the file does not exists.I noticed there is a huge difference between the script task in sql 2005 and sql 2008 r2.

Check If File Exists

Aug 21, 2006

In SSIS, I need an easy way to see if a file exists, and if not wait for it until a timeout period expires. Here are the options I've discovered, along with the issues I've had:

a) The File Watcher task from www.sqlis.com


This was my first attempt. The task works great, BUT only detects when there is a change on the file. If the file already exists, it keeps waiting which is not the behavior I need.
b) The WMI Event Task

There is very sparce documentation on this event and how to write a WQL query. There are numerous examples of monitoring a folder and if any files appear, cause an event to happen. I need to detect for a specific file. I found maybe one example of this using "PartComponent" but wasn't able to get the sytax right to make it work for me. I also need to access a remote file share using a UNC path (e.g. \servernamepathfile.txt) which I could not get to work.
c) Script Task using the File.Exists() method

I imported the System.IO namespace, and used a File.Exists(\servernamepathfile.txt) with actual success, but am not sure of the best way to continue to wait if the file is not found immediately. I also want to modularize this approach so I can wait for several files simultaneously so was thinking of implementing this script task as a package by itself to accept variables (filepath & timeout period) but need to know if anyone has had success with this approach.
I'm open to suggestions or ways to get options a) and b) to work for my needs.
Thanks!

Transfer SQL Server Objects Task Throws An Error Because The DropObjectsFirst Property Does Not Check Whether Object Exists.

Apr 19, 2006

I wanted to create a package to copy the objects from one database to another and replace those object if they already exist. Therefore, before the package executes you do not know whether all the objects exist on the target server or only some of them.

Using the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task' I have found that I cannot get this to execute cleanly by itself. If I set the 'DropObjectsFirst' to false then an error is thrown if the object exists and if I set it to true then an error is thrown if it does not exist.

In order to get round this I have had to create an 'Execute SQL Task' to list all the objects and then go through them dropping them on the target server in a for each loop before executing the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task' with 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task' set to false.

However, is there a better way of achieving this or am I missing something in the 'Transfer SQL Server Objects Task'?

Transact SQL :: Check If UNC Path Exists (It Is Folder Not File)

Oct 29, 2015

Usual way to check if file exists

DECLARE @File_Exists INT 
EXEC Master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'serverBSQL_Backupfile.bak', @File_Exists OUT 
print @File_Exists

1

And if check folder, can use "nul", but it doesn't work for UNC path

DECLARE @File_Exists INT 
EXEC Master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'serverBSQL_Backup
ul', @File_Exists OUT 

print @File_Exists
0

If use xp_subdirs like:

 EXEC master.dbo.xp_subdirs 'serverBSQL_Backups'

If the folder doesn't exists,

Msg 22006, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
xp_subdirs could not access 'ServerBSQL_Backups*.*': FindFirstFile() returned error 67, 'The network name cannot be found.'

How to check if UNC folder exists in Backup? in my code I want to check if the unc folder exists before doing backup, the unc path is retrieved from other table or backup history.

SSIS Script Task To Check For File Existance

Jul 3, 2006

Hi all,

Let me apologize in advance for what I know is a very basic question,
but so far I'm not being terribly successful trying to find sample code
to learn from.



I'm trying to write (my first!) .Net Script in SSIS to check for the
existance of a file (since that seems to be the only way to do it).



I've created the Script Task, with the following settings:

PrecomplieScriptIntoBinaryCode = False (it complained at one point in time (possibly on validation))

EntryPoint = ScriptMain

ReadOnly Variables = ProductBuyListFileLocation, ProductBuyListFileName

ReadWrite Variable = FileFound



Now the ReadOnly variables have the 2 components necessary for a file location, i.e.:

ProductBuyListFileLocation = 'D:TestingProductInformationEnhancements'

ProductBuyListFileName = 'buyList.xls'



So, I'm now trying to check the existance with the following .Net Script code:

-------code--------

Imports System

Imports System.Data

Imports System.Math

Imports System.IO

Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime



Public Class ScriptMain



' The execution engine calls this method when the task executes.

' To access the object model, use the Dts object. Connections, variables, events,

' and logging features are available as static members of the Dts class.

' Before returning from this method, set the value of Dts.TaskResult to indicate success or failure.

'

' To open Code and Text Editor Help, press F1.

' To open Object Browser, press Ctrl+Alt+J.



Public Sub Main()

'

' Add your code here

'

Dim FileLocation As String

Dim DTSVariables As Variables



If
System.IO.File.Exists((CStr(DTSVariables("ProductBuyListFileLocation").Value)
+ (CStr(DTSVariables("ProductBuyListFileLocation").Value)))) Then

DTSVariables("FileFound").Value = 1

Else

DTSVariables("FileFound").Value = 0

End If

Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success

End Sub



End Class

-------code--------



if fails with this message, which I'm not finding too helpful:

at
ScriptTask_6c9d28f1bd3045739c4237bd588e3835.ScriptMain.Main() in
dts://Scripts/ScriptTask_6c9d28f1bd3045739c4237bd588e3835/ScriptMain:line
28



Is it complaining about not being able to find/address my ReadOnly variable? If so, what am I doing wrong?



TIA

I tried creating one simple bar chart report in SSRS, with background fill with pattern "UpwardDiagonal", the stripes on the column when viewed insider report viewer control is quite prominently visible, whereas when exporting the same report to PDF the lines are very thin and dense and hence makes it very difficult to differentiate between one column with pattern inside and one without. I have even tried various other pattern like "LightUpwardDiagonal" and "WideUpwardDiagonal" but all have same result when exported to PDF.why?

Check If Cursor Exists

May 11, 2004

I declare a cusror named crInv inside a loop.
Since I open this cursor a lot of times I want to check if is already opened.
I try to use the Cursor_status function but it always returns -3.
The syntax is:

DECLARE crInv SCROL CURSOR FOR
SELECT Val1, Val2 FROM TABLE1 WHERE Val3=450

If Cursor_Status('local','crInv')>0 BEGIN
CLOSE crInv
DEALLOCATE crInv
END

This code is inside a loop.
If I PRINT Cursor_Status('local','crInv') before and after the DECLARE statement it always returns -3.
What is wrong??

How To Check If A Single Value Exists In A Table

What’s the easiest way to check if a single value exists in a table column?  I’m building a simple login page, and I want to get the username and check if it exists in my Users table. Here’s my SQL: SELECT UserID FROM UsersWHERE UserID = "admin" Could someone give me code to check for “admin” in my UserID column?    Here’s some code I tried, using my SqlDataSource, but it returns an error “Could not load type 'System.Data.OleDb'”     protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)    {        // Retreive the results from the SqlDataSource as a DataReader        OleDbDataReader reader = (OleDbDataReader)              SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);         // Read in the value        if (reader.Read())        {             }                     // Close the reader        reader.Close();             } I don’t have to use the SqlDataSource, but originally thought it might be easier. I know how to use SqlDataSource to fill a whole GridView but this is different.
