DB Engine :: Copy Files From Source Server On Destination Server
Sep 25, 2015
I want to schedule a job which pulls files from a non SQL server (Sybase) which later needs to have a step 2 kicking the ssis package. Problem is that, on the source a batch file will run every 4 hours and outputs total of 10 text files. (takes 5 minutes complete). Now, on destination i want to pull these files via SQL job but while scheduling;
1. I don't see any option saying like 4 hours 10 minutes or so
2. If its out there, then i believe this might be a problem as this time would be an increment one e.g next run would be 4 hours 20 minutes in that case.
How should i achieve pulling these files up because we have an SSIS package on destination that needs those text files to be used as soon as they arrive on SQL server(destination)
I want to copy 2 columns from 1 database to another database. I managed to do this, using a Ole DB source and a Ole DB destination dataset.
Now I want to merge 2 colums into 1: Source Database: Column A: first name, Column B: Lastname. Destination Database: Column 1: First and lastname customer.
How do I copy files from several subdirectories into the same directory? I have about 80 subdirectories of a parent directory from which I want to copy the files and place the copies into the same, flat destination directory. I tried using the copy file and copy directory file system tasks, but this always seems to recreate the subdirectory structure under the destination directory.
I am trying to Import data into SQL server 2008 using management studio. The source data is an Access dbase. I am trying to do this with queries as the tables do not match but I do need to copy specific columns for the source to the destination. Any brief example selecting a column from the source table, and just entering a dummy value for other columns(other column of data for destination table does not exist in source table).Â
For the example
Source access dbase, just two columns but no primary key, T2dbase, Employee
New table.
First Name, Description  Tom         , manager
An SSIS package to transfer data from a DB instance on SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2000 is extremely slow. The package uses an OLEDB Source to OLEDB Destination for data transfer which is basically one table from sql server 2005 to sql server 2000. The job takes 5 minutes to transfer about 400 rows at night when there is very little activity on the server. During the day the job almost always times out.
On SQL Server 200 instances the job ran in minutes in the old 2000 package.
Is there an alternative to this. Tranfer Objects task does not work as there is apparently a defect according to Microsoft. Please let me know if there is any other option other than using a Execute 2000 package task or using an ActiveX Script to read records from one source and to insert them into the destination source, which I am not certain how long it might take and how viable will that be?
I am replacing a server so I need to migrate everything. The old server is running SQL2000 and the new server is running SQL2005. I am trying to write an SSIS solution to migrate everything for me and I can't even get started because I get the error "The source server can not be the same as the destination server". At the same time I am changing the name of the Domain so the two machines arenot even members of the same Domain. I am doing this over the Internet so the machines are not even on the same subnet. The only thing I can think of is that the machine names are the same so even though the domains are different therefore the full names are different, the NetBIOS names are the same. Could that be the problem?
I have an SSIS package which calls a web service and returns a Dataset object in the form of an xml file (it does this successfully - and stores it successfully).
The Data Flow then picks up the file using an xml source task (in which use inline schema is specified) , and passes it to an SQL Server Destination task - for bulk load.
I've checked the mappings and everything seems to be ok, the package gives no warnings or errors when run.
The destination table is created on the SQL Server without problem, but at that stage the task finishes "successfully", without actually loading any table rows into the destination table.
Also in the SQL Server Destination task - when I select "preview" in the connection manager section - I can see the column definitions, but again - no rows of data.
Thanks to Simon Sabin for pointing me here - I did post on the managed msdn newsgroups in sql server programming but have had no replies as yet.
Below is the beginning of the xml Dataset object which is output as an xml file for information. If you need any more information just let me know.
Not quite sure where i'm going wrong here - thanks in advance
Hi all, I got a unicode file source with this fields: -DT_WSTR (100) originally is DT_STR(100) -DT_WSTR (100) originally is DT_STR(100) -DT_NTEXT -DT_WSTR (20) originally is DT_DBTIMESTAMP -DT_WSTR (5) originally is DT_BOOLEAN
I export a Query result to a File (see above) ...as unicode TXT destination.
OK, now I must to re-import into another DB and here is my difficult...'cause the DT_NTEXT is HTML code and I got always this error: [Flat File Source [1050]] Error: The column delimiter for column "scheda" was not found. Scheda field is the DT_NTEXT.
Into connection manager area I modify the advanced tab for the set-up of my fields setting all to: Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with a variable of the len, but Try also to define everyone to the rigth type of the SQL destination like:
In every type of action I see no message alert and all seem to be good, but when I try to execute got always same error... So hope someone can help me... ----------- here first line of my UNICODE TXT source file ---------- "codven" "manufacturer" "scheda" "last_modified" "modificata" "CDGI2120" "Altri" "<datasheet><section ncellmax="1" id="1"><row order="1"><cell><![CDATA[Combat possiede mitragliatrici per intraprendere battaglie testa a ~testa del genere "spara o sei finito" in mezzo a territori ~butterati di crateri su carri armati del 23esimo secolo.~Caratteristiche:~* Cinque modalita' di gioco~* Tre tipi di carri armati~* Partita singola o in multiplayer~* Grafica in 2D, 3D]]></cell></row></section></datasheet>" "2007-12-11 13:02:26.290000000" "1" "CDGI2586" "Disney Interactive" "<datasheet><section ncellmax="1" id="1"><row order="1"><cell><![CDATA[Entra con Tigro ed i suoi amici nel meraviglioso Bosco dei 100 Acri aiutalo a cercare il miele nella natura incantata di questo fantastico mondo! ~~Il giocatore vestirÓ i panni di Tigro, il simpatico e buffo amico di Winnie The Pooh, il quale dovrÓ raccogliere quanto pi¨ miele possibile, per rendere la festa di Winnie qualcosa di veramente speciale!!!]]></cell></row></section></datasheet>" "2007-12-11 13:02:26.290000000" "1"
I have a file in Fire bird Database (30 GB with .ydb extension). Â which needs to be restored to SQL Server. I Have created a linked server and done it but it is taking very long time to update the records.
I am new to SSIS programming and trying to export data from a flatfile source to SQL server destination table dynamically. I need to get the table schema info (column length, data type etc.) from SQL server table and then map the source columns from flatfile to destination table columns.
I am referring to one of the programming samples from Microsoft and another excellent article by Moim Hossain. Can someone help me understand how to map the Source columns to destination table columns depending on table schema? Please help.
The DTS works perfectly when I run it manually. However, when I run itas a job it fails. Before you ask if i'm running it under differentsecurity context. I have already made sure of that. I was logged intothe server through remote viewer, when I created and ran the package,as well as scheduling the job. So the accounts they're running underare consistent. They're the same accounts as the SQL Agent is runningunder and it's the sys admin account.The data source is a Fox pro database with a pull of two tables. I amusing Microsoft OLE DB Foxpro driver as my source connection and OLE DBConnection for SQL Server as my destination. I am doing a simple tableto table transformation. The path of my connection is a mapped Drive:E:Main. There are other packages and jobs within my job queue that arepointing to the same database and they seem to run fine using the abovemapped drive. The ONLY difference between this package and otherpackages are that, they're few months old and this one was created lastnight. I have also enabled logging on this package and here is thebelow error when the job fails:Package Steps execution information:Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1' failedStep Error Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxProStep Error Description:Invalid path or file name.Step Error code: 80040E21Step Error Help File:Step Error Help Context ID:0Step Execution Started: 9/23/2006 11:39:17 AMStep Execution Completed: 9/23/2006 11:39:17 AMTotal Step Execution Time: 0.031 secondsProgress count in Step: 0
Hi,I'm having some trouble finding any information on this topic - can MS SQLserver 2000 copy/delete files on the host computers disk.Any info on this would be great.Thanks,Eirik
I've an emergency requirement to copy Source server database backup files to destination Server through xcopy command. Backup job on source server runs daily, so once this job get completes all databases backups needs to be moved to destination server. But here the main concern is "the backup files on destination server shouldn't be overwritten, they should be placed separately as Source server job runs daily".
We've a command which overwrites backups on destination server. But we need to keep backups on destination at-least for 4 weeks (means : retention should be 4 Weeks).
I have one job for copy files from another server to my computer using Robocopy.but when I execute my job in sql server I get this error:
Accessing Source Directory 192.168.101.191Upload Access is denied. this is my job: USE [msdb] GO

Should I create Credential and proxy?How can I do this?Would you mind giving me required scripts for this?
I need help with better solution to copy my bak and trn files to a file server. This is the background. I use to dump the backup files directly to the file server; this was not €œbest practices€? according to some books and forums. Back to dump the file first to local disc and after that letting robocopy copy the files to the file server. And I end up with this problem.
This is error from the backup log Failed-1073548784) Executing the query "BACKUP DATABASE [BPROJCT] TO DISK = N'F:\backup\BPROJCT\BPROJCT_backup_200711281700.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'BPROJCT_backup_20071128170005', SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 " failed with the following error: "Write on "F:\backup\BPROJCT\BPROJCT_backup_200711281700.bak" failed: 112(There is not enough space on the disk.)

Robocopy tries to copy the file before its completely written to disk. I have made a batch file that looks like this robocopy
Monitor the file folder and copy all files every 5 min, the file is started with scheduled Task. Have I missed some switch? Can start robocopy from SQL Serer Agent in a xp_cmd_shell?
When expoting data from excel to sql server table, using SSIS package, after exporting is done, how would i check source rows are equal to destination rows. If not to throw an error message.
How can we handle transactions in SSIS 1. when some error/something happens during export and the # of rows are not exported fully to destination, how to rollback the transaction in SSIS.

Problem: ColA (Source) Rounding error to PARTY_NO (Destination) I have a field of text of in a flat file that the flat file connection manager Source picks up correctly €œ70000893€? However when it gets the OLE DB Connection Destination the data has changed to 70000896. That€™s before its even Written to the database. The only clue that something is wrong in the middle is the great Data viewer shows the number as 7.000009E+07 Other clues looking at the data it appears there is a rounding error on only the number that dont end in 00 ColA (Source) PARTY_NO (Destination) 71167300 71167296 70329000 70329000 70410000 70410000 Any ideas people? Thanks in advance Dave
Hi! I did: alter database mydb set single_user with rollback immediate; exec sp_detach_db @dbname='mydb', @keepfulltextindexfile='true';
then I tried to copy files to new location on other drives, same server but got >>Cannot copy <myfile>: Access is denied Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use<<
I also tried rename of file without success. I also tried with db service stoppet (not preferred) without success.
How to find out, which process locks the files? Best regards
I've created a linked server (and set up the corresponding schema.ini file) in order to perform bulk-inserts from some CSV text files into SQL tables (from my standpoint the text files are just for reading purposes). The linked server works fine (I can select the data in the files without a problem).
Now the question: is possible to automatically detect when one or more of those files change in order to start the import process automatically? Something like having a trigger created on the CSV files Or there's no easy way to do that so I have, to say something, to create a Job that periodically checks if the files have changed programatically (say, recording each file's timestamp everytime is imported and comparing the recorded value with the current one, or whatever)?
I have a simple powershell script, that is writing single row to remote SQL server as sort of keepalive solution for branch machine. It opens System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection, SqlBulkCopy writes table, and closes connection.
Sometimes script throws an error in form of - Cannot access destination table.
We are not managing internet connectivity in that place, so I don't know for sure, but can this error be caused by connection timeout that comes when script tries to write ?
I am having a huge xml file with nested section. i also have a xsd file for that xml. i have a destination table where the data from the xml should be loaded into. i am using the xml source transformation. But o get all the data i need to use multiple merje joins to get the data in a single row which i can insert into the destination.i was not quiet convinced with using so many joins.
so i tried using the script source transformation where i am using xml objects to get the node and dynamically construction the data row. and the output is then inserted into the destination. on comparing the two approach the one using the script source is working much faster than the xml source transformation.
i wanted to know is there any limitaion using the script source to parse through xml files. also i would like to know any other better way of getting the data from xml source without using the joins.
I get the following error on my OLE DB Destination: column"Oprcode" cannot convert between unicode & non-unicode string data type. Please Assist on what i should do!
My OLE DB Source and Excel desintation values all will be assigned during the run time but it does work during design time but as on runtime columns are different. That's why it does not work.
Here is what I want to accomplish, I have table which contains all my report which needs to dumped to excel at the month end.
SQL Task using ADO enumrator read one record(one report), Give that record to For Each contair which Create the Excel file on the fly using one of variable from my table and uses a stored procedure to dump data to excel using Dataflow Task.
Does it mean for 10 reports, I have to create 10 different data flow tasks, or it can be done using one data flow tasks but changing columns on the run time.
I am building SSIS for 3 different files that have identical schema and mapping logic.
In my OLE DB Source (object name - "OLEDBSource_SourceTable") Data Access mode is "Variable name". As soon as I swithced to this Data Acces mode it started to give me an error:

The column "DEAL_NUM" needs to be updated in the external metadata column collection. The "external metadata column "DEAL_NUM_Flag" (34529)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection. The "external metadata column "recordID" (33740)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection.
