Checking If Files Are Of Type .mdb
Sep 24, 2007Hi,
I am using a foreach file to loop through a folder and pick a file. Then populate a Sql table.
Now I want to check if the file is a mdb and then check if the mdb contains a table called "Customers". If any of these conditions fails, the file should be moved to the Error folder.
How do I do this? Please specify the components to use.

Checking The State Of A Variable As First Step Of Package?
Aug 3, 2007Am I correct in thinking that I need to place a dummy script component which does nothing in order to route logic depending on the value of a variable?
ie. I want to output to a file if a Parent variable is a certain value, or i want to load a table if its a different value.
Checking For Existence Of Parent Variable In Child Package
Oct 16, 2007I have a parent package that calls a child package, when I run the parent package the child package picks up a variable value from the parent in a script task and runs fine, the problem I'm facing is when I run just the child package, the script task fails because it doesn't know about the parent variable. The dilemma I'm facing is in my child script task, if I add the parent variable to the ReadOnlyVariables list then the task fails because the parent variable doesn't exist when I just run the child. If I don't add the parent variable to the ReadOnlyVariabls list then if I try to use it then the task fails saying that the variable doesn't exist in the variables collection.
Is there a way to check for the existence of the parent variable, so when I just run the child package I don't get an error and I don't have to change my task every time I choose to run the child package only vs running the parent/child?
Thanks.
Integration Services :: Variable Value Does Not Fit Variable Type
May 27, 2015I have an SSIS package that creates a csv file based on a execute sql task.
The sql is incredibly simple select singlecolumn from table.
In the properties of the execute sql task I specify the result set as "full result set" when I run it I get the error that: Error:
The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::CSVoutput" differs from the current variable type.
Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.
If I change the resultset to single row then I only get the first row from the DB (same if I choose none), If I choose XML then I get the error that the result is not xml. What resultset type do I need to choose in order to get all the rows into the CSV? The variable I am populating is of type string and is User::CSVoutput

The number(20,23,25) are hardcoded in the stored procedure and I have them in a variable because there are over 30 different numbers.
Variable Data Type Help
Apr 10, 2006Hi all,
I am trying to extract certain data from MySQL
(example sql statement is SELECT COLUMN1, COUNT(COLUMN2) FROM TABLE
GROUP BY COLUMN1) and stored COLUMN1 and COUNT(COLUMN2) values into
variables and then copy the values from the variables and insert them
into a new table in sql server 2005 and has two columns in it (COLUMN1
of type nvarchar and COLUMN2 of type int). I can map the first output
(COLUMN1) correctly to variable type String and store them in the new
table in sql server 2005 (store the value in a variable type String and
then use insert and store it into sql server using parameter in Execute
Sql Task set the data type to NVARCHAR, but I cannot map the second
output (COUNT(COLUMN2)) using the same method, I could not even get it
to store into a variable of any type. Anyone have any idea how to go
about it? Thanks in advance.
The output of the sql statement for MySQL should look like:
COLUMN1 COUNT(COLUMN2)
----------------------------------------
aaa 101
bbb 232
ccc 542

Problem With Variable Of Type Money?
Mar 2, 2006Here's what I want to do: I've got a table with orders, each order hasa specific discountrate (an int, which represents a percentage). Eachorder consists of 1 or more items in another table, each item in thattable has a price. Now I want to return the full price and thediscounted price (or the discounted amount).Here's a relevant excerpt of the code:------------------------------------------------------------------CREATE TABLE #tmp (OrderID Integer,Price money,Discount money)DECLARE @Discount moneySELECT @Discount =(((SELECT SUM(OrderDetails.Price * OrderDetailsAmount)FROM OrderDetailsWHERE OrderID = @orderID AND CustomerID = @CustomerID)+(SELECT ISNULL(SUM(OrderDetailsSupplement.Price *OrderDetailsAmount),0)FROM OrderDetailsSupplementINNER JOIN OrderDetails ONOrderDetailsSupplement.OrderDetailsID = OrderDetails.OrderDetailsIDWHERE OrderID = @orderID AND CustomerID = @CustomerID))*( @DiscountRate / 100 ))SELECT CustomerFull,SUM(Price) As Price,SUM(Discount) As Discount,SUM (Products) As Products,COUNT(@orderID) As OrdersFROM #tmpGROUP BY CustomerFullORDER BY CustomerFull------------------------------------------------------------------The problem: instead of getting a low number (like 0.57 for instance),I get a 0. Right now I've "solved" this by replacing "( @DiscountRate /100 )" with just "@DiscountRate" and then dividing by 100 in my aspcode, but I'd really like to know what I'm doing wrong.--BVH

Change Data Type Of Variable
Oct 3, 2007
Is there anyway to change the data type of a variable while in an expression?
My problem is I am trying to compare a variable w/ a string data type to a variable w/ an object data type. I would change the data type of the variable from object to string but if I do that my sql task fails when it tries to write a value to that variable. The variable w/ the object data type is the result of an openquery sql stmnt. So I guess there are two ways around my problem.
1. Change data type of variable while in an expression..ie flow constriant
or
2. Change data type of vraiable from object to string and still get the openquery result to work.
Any help???
Thanks !!
Using Variable Of Type Object In Expression
Jan 25, 2006Hi
I have some SSIS variables of type System.Object (they have to be this
type because they are used to hold the results of a single row result
set in an Execute SQL task which is querying an Oracle database.
Although I know the Oracle table columns are Numeric, this was the only
SSIS type that worked).
My problem is that I want to use these variables in expressions, but
can't - I get the error "The data type of variable "User::varObjectVar"
is not supported in an expression".
The only workaround I can think of is to use a script to assign
the numeric values (integers, in fact) that these variables hold to
other variables of type Int32.
Is that my only option, or am I missing something?
thanks

Package Configuration Type - Environment Variable
Feb 19, 2008Hello All -
Have you ever seen the error message below?
Description: The package path referenced an object that cannot be found: "Package.Variables[User::<variable_name>].Properties[Value]". This occurs when an attempt is made to resolve a package path to an object that cannot be found. End Warning Could not load package "<package_name>" because of error 0xC0010014.
Basically, I create a package variable under my User Namespace and this variable will tell what server the SSIS is running at. We first create a system variable locally and the SQL Server will have a variable with exactly the same name so that the server name will be evaluated through the package variable/package configurations when the SSIS is executing from a SQL Server job.
This way we do not hard code the server name... We always succeeded on doing that with DTS as well as SSIS packages but just now my package is running into this issue...
Since I did not change ANYTHING in the package, I am guessing this is not programming related and that something was changed in the server. However, the DBA was helpless over here and I have no clue of what this error means.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Gabriel.
Analysis :: Which Data Type To Use For Variable Values
Aug 19, 2015I am trying to find what datatype I can use for variable values like below in a column
E.g. column which we get
10000.10
100
180.34
98203710231.34
From the above example, you can see some of the values contains no decimal and with decimal
Also we cant say whether the decimal comes after the 5th number or 10th number. Any other datatype to capture this values. If not last option is to give varchar2.

Variable Type Errors When Calling Stored Procedure
May 12, 2008I currently have a stored procedure that is defined as follows:
CREATE PROCEDURE UpdateSyncLog
@TableName char(100),
@LastSyncDateTime datetime,
@ErrorState int OUTPUT
I am using an execute sql task to call this procedure. The connectiontype is ADO .NET and the SQLSourceType is DirectInput. The IsQueryStoredProcedure setting is false, and the following is my SQL Statement I have entered:
exec UpdateSyncLog 'myTestTable', @LastSyncDateTime, @ErrorState
Result set is set to None, as this query returns NO results (i.e. has no select statements in it that returns results).
I have two variables in this SSIS package. CurrentDateTime, and ErrorStateVal. CurrentDateTime is of Data type DateTime, the ErrorStateVal is of type Int32
The parameter mappings are as follows:
Varialbe Name=User::CurrentDateTime, Direction=Input, DateType=DateTime, Parameter Name=@LastSynDateTime, Parameter Size=-1
Variable Name=User::ErrorStateVal, Direction=Output, DateType=Int32, Parameter Name=@ErrorState, Parameter Size=-1
The error I am getting when running this execute sql task is as follows:
Error: 0xC001F009 at AS400 to SQL Full Repopulation Sync: The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::ErrorStateVal" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.
Error: 0xC002F210 at Execute SQL Task, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "exec UpdateSyncLog 'myTestTable', @LastSyncDateTime, @ErrorState" failed with the following error: "The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::ErrorStateVal" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.
". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Task failed: Execute SQL Task
This makes no sense to me, both the SSIS variable ErrorStateVal is Int32, as well as the parameter declaration in the Execute SQL task is Int32 with direction of OUTPUT, and my stored procedure definition has @ErrorState as an integer as well.
What gives?

SSIS Custom Data Flow Component - Variable Type Converter
Jun 27, 2007Hi all,
I am creating a customer data flow component for SSIS for use in a package. I've got some custom properties that I am exposing using the supplied advanced editor (no custom property editor here).
Some of my properties are enumerated types, and I have deciphered how to get those properties to show as dropdown lists of their respective enumerations. (For those of you who may be looking as hard as I did as to how to accomplish this, see the end of this post.)
I also have a few properties which request SSIS package variable names - such as an file name variable. However, I can't figure out how to tell the advanced editor that the property is looking for an SSIS variable, so that it can show a dropdown list of package variables, much like virtually any other Microsoft supplied Data Flow component can.
Is there a Type Converter I could specify for those custom properties? Is there another way to instruct SSIS that my custom property is expecting a variable? Or do I need to code a custom UI for editing my Data Flow Task?
To create a dropdown list of values for a custom property that represents an enum, do the following:
1. Create your enum definition, such as "public enum ThisIsMyEnum { one, two }"
2. Create a new class that inherits from TypeConverter, such as "public class MyEnumConverter : TypeConverter"
3. Override "CanConvertFrom", and return true if "sourceType == typeof(string)"
4. Override "CanConvertTo", and return true if "destinationType == typeof(string)"
5. Override "ConvertFrom", and return the enum value (such as "one" or "two" in my example) that corresponds to the string passed in the parameter "value"
6. Override "ConvertTo", and return a string that corresponds to the enum value passed in the parameter "value"
7. Override "GetStandardValuesSupported" and return true
8. Override "GetStandarValuesExclusive" and return true to indicate that ONLY the enum values should be accepted
9. Override "GetStandardValues", and return a new StandardValuesCollection constructed with Enum.GetValues() of your enum, such as "return new StandardValuesCollection(Enum.GetValues(typeof(ThisIsMyEnum)));"
10. Just above your "public enum" declaration, add a "TypeConverter" attribute to link your type converter to your enum, such as "[TypeConverter(typeof(MyEnumConverter))]"
11. In "ProvideComponentProperties", after you've created your custom property like this: "IDTSCustomProperty90 propEnum = ComponentMetaData.CustomPropertyCollection.New()", add another line to specify the TypeConverter property of the property to the full assembly name of your type converter, like so: "propEnum.TypeConverter = typeof(MyEnumConverter).AssemblyQualifiedName;"

So, I have a project parameter @ppdate with value as  -10. I create a variable with DateTime (because there is NO date type for SSIS) and gives the expression as below
dateadd("Month",@ppdate, DATEADD("D",-(DAY(GETDATE()))+1,GETDATE())) , I am getting '7/1/2011 11:33:38 AM' which i don't want - i want only '12/1/2014'. How can i get it?
To get '12/01/2014', Â If i change the variable from DateTime to string, then i think i cant use the value in the filter condition like ''where date='?' because this does not accept string. Is this correct?
