Deploy Excel File That Already Exists On Server - File Isn't Replaced
Jan 3, 2007
Dear all,
I am deploying programatically an Excel 2007 file to a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Server. The problem is that if a file with the same name already exists, that file isn't replaced. I would like the opposite to happen. I'm using the following code:
--Executable
set svr=http://w3sdwsqld1/reportserver
set src_fld="\w3sdwsqld1\deploy\SAD\ECRANS\UPDATES_20061127_190000\Ecrans\AM\Associados\"
set dest_fld="Associados"
set script="\w3sdwsqld1\deploy\SADECRANS\UPDATES_20061127_190000\Ecrans\AM\Associados\PublishReports.rss"
REM Sample: deploy.bat http://w3sdwsqld1/reportserver "\w3sdwsqld1\deploy\SAD\ECRANS\UPDATES_20061127_190000\Ecrans\AM\Associados\" "Associados" "\w3sdwsqld1\deploy\SADECRANS\UPDATES_20061127_190000\Ecrans\AM\Associados\PublishReports.rss"
for /R %src_fld% %%f in (*.xlsx) do rs -i %script% -s %svr% -v ParentFolder=%dest_fld% -v reportP="%%~nf" -v path=%src_fld%
PAUSE
--rss Code

Hello, I have a situation in which I need to use a foreach iterator that will perform a transformation on each excel file in a directory. The file names will change, but the structure will stay the same.
I was able to get this working by assigning the file path for each iteration to a variable, and then using that variable to set the excelfilepath in the Excel connection manager. However, for this to work I have to assign the variable to a default file.
Because of this, when I try to deploy the package I need to also add a configuration property for the variable, otherwise the first run will fail. The dummy file doesn't even really need to exist - I just have to put in a valid path, and then use any name that has an .xls extension. After that it runs fine regardless of what is in the directory.
This seems odd that I would need to do this - am I missing something? Apart from creating the Excel Connection Manager programatically (which I'm guessing might solve this), is there a way to avoid having to specify this dummy file?
Thanks

Greetings, I have just arrived back into the country (NZ) and back into ASP.NET.
I am having trouble with the following:An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file (file location).../Database.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.
It has only begun since i decided i wanted to use IIS, I realise VWD comes with its own localhost, but since it is only temporary, i wanted a permanent shortcut on my desktop to link to my intranet page.
Anyone have any ideas why i am getting the above error? have searched many places on the internet and not getting any closer.
Cheers ~ J

I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Manisha

I know allot of folks are having this problem and I tried lots of things but nothing works. I understand the problem is coping the SQL Express on another server is the problem - I just not sure what to do?
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42
This is the last statement on the Stack Trace:
SqlException (0x80131904): An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file e:wwwdata81d0493fwwwApp_DataTestDatabase.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.]
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) +735091
I checked my server forum and they said I had to name a database:
Example: Database=(unique name);
But this didn't work either.
I just tried a simple web project that has only one database and one table in SQL Express with one sqldatasource and one datagrid. It works fine on my pc but when I use the copy function in Visio Studio 2005 Pro - I can't run the site on the remote server: www.myjewelrydirect.com
I tried coping the database manually. I tried disconnecting the database before I copy it. Below is my connection statement:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="TestDB" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|TestDatabase.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
With all the comments in these forums - this must be a bug.
I have been working on this problem for over 2 weeks - HELP!

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.

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_Backupul', @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.

I have a ssis package where I need to have excel destination. In the Excel file, I need to have few rows with some text and then populate data below the text. One the text is like this:
Data as of: 08/25/2015
if the report ran today, then Data as of will have Yesterday. So, if the user opens that excel file after a week, then user should see same Data as of: 08/25/2015. not today()-day(1).
I was planing to handle on excel side with today()-day(1). but it only works the day it was run. Then the excel file is open after few days later, then it might as Data as of: 08/30/2015 which is not true. It should still stay Data as of:
08/25/2015 on what ever date the excel file is open. The SSIS package runs only once.
How do I handle this so that whenever user open the file, they will see Data as of: 08/25/2015. This is not a column in excel. It is like a description of data in excel.

hi all;
1. Excel file Source--> monthly Revenue details
2. Derived Colum Transoformations
3. Oledb Destination
its my flow in one of my packates (ETL job)
Excel file contains monthly revenue details, i wanna import the excel data to my database staging table, so i've created the package.
its working fine...
Problem
if we change the new data for the next month and running the package its not running;
the same file, same format, only we delete the contents, of the file except first row of the excel sheet,
and pasting the new data;
new data is coming from Oracle DataBase in the form of excel sheet ( manually they will copy the data and sending to us)
i open that package in design mode and while double clicking the excel file source it says <column name>'s Meta Data needs to be synchronized
Do you want to Fix this issue automatically with the available external column's meta data
Clearly noted that its a data type issue; i have changed the corresponding data types as it is in the previous Excel sheet which is equivalant to the Table its copying to.
now the package is running with validation warnings, External Column "Invoice Amount" needs to be updated...etc. some 2 or three warning messages i can able to see in the package Execution wizard,
ok, i'm ready to accept these warnings, and i want my package running from my server;( packages had been deployed in to the Centeralized server; every time if we want to run the package, we have the asp.net webpage, that is executing the package in an On_click event)
The package is not running from the server, its due to the meta data change in the Excel file( i guess)
please suggest me some guide lines to resolve this meta data issue, i want my excel sheet meta data should not change when we have new updates in it;
otherwise suggest me some solutions that i can validate the excel sheet before running the package and testing whether the data is in correct format or not? its a kind of Data Profiling activity;
i know its some what crazy, but i need to maintain the system with permanent solution, instead of facing this meta data mismatch issue!!!
some what lenthy explanation--> its needed for my dear powerful microsoft responders. i think i 've explained my problem clearly, if i don't let me know your queries, i'll try my level best.

I hope someone can help me with this - I started receiving this error message in the past month or so when I open a csv report and save it as an Excel file in a folder I use on my VPN and in My Documents. It does not show up when I save it to my Desk Top.

Excel error message The instruction at 0x0beab865 referenced memory at "0x00000008"
The memory could not be "read".
Click ok to terminate the program.
I hope someone could please help me with this I received 60 - 80 csv files a week and everythime I save on I get this pop up message!

I am going to use the BCP utility to export data from a table in a SQL Server 2000 database to .csv file, but I must determine if the file already exists. The BCP export code it going to be in a stored procedure and will be configured to run every two hours so I must have a way of checking if the file exists prior to executing the BCP instruction. If the file exists then no big deal just abort and two hours later it will try again, at some point the file will not exist and the export will export all the data since the last export - but normally this will happen every two hours; I just need to make sure that the "other peoples" utility has proccessed the file (and by definition deleted it).
It makes me no difference whether the best way to do this would be using a batch file that execute and returns true/false or a VBScript or if there really is a way to do it in TSQL. I just cannot seem to find any way.

For each one of these files I do know their directories but would like to know how to check for that file in those related directories.

I need to find a way to upload an Excel file into an MS SQL databaseusing a web control front end. I have my ASP.Net control (using C#)uploading a file to a directory, but the server people now tell me thatI cannot have a writeable area for the web and have a DTS see it as thisis too much of a security risk. So, I need a way to read the filedirectly into the database. I've no idea how to do this. Does anyonehave ideas? I know loading MS Office into the web server is out of thequestion. The webserver and database server are not the same physicalmachine.Thanks.

Suppose we are two developer.Who have SSRS install at there own system.
Our database server is intalled on our main db server.
1,First thing does it necessay to create a shared datasource.
I have a web application in which I want's to add a folder say My reports in which i will put my reports {that is .rdl file}
Then I want's to hit a url with render format as excel this will bring down my report in excel format.
2,How to configure a connection
I want's to pass the connection string in the rdl via some xml file let say myconnectionn xml file
which look like
<connection-sources>
<source name="Mycon1" default="true" >
Data Source=abcyukon;User ID=sa;Password=as;Initial Catalog=MyDbName1
</source>
<source name="Mycon2" skip="true" >
Data Source=asdsadabcyukon;User ID=sa;Password=as;Initial Catalog=MyDbName2
</source>
</connection-sources>
connection string would be where attribute default of source should be true.

Greetings all.
How can I check for file exitence in a specified folder using TSQL?
I can think of a couple of ways to do this so any feedback would be appreciated.
Load the contents of a folder in to a temporay table and check the table for file name. I can do this with something like:
insert into myFiles
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'dir /B /OND filePath*.txt'
Or maybe use OLE Automation Sproc? But I am not sure which method I should use.
Please advise.

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!

I am trying to link an excel file as a linked server. I tried two methods unsuccessfully.
first: using
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'Ex',
'Jet 4.0',
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0',
'c:list5.xls',
NULL,
'Excel 5.0'
GO
When I run
EXEC sp_tables_ex Ex, I get the error below.
Server: Msg 7303, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_tables_ex, Line 20
Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.]
Second: I link the excel file using ODBC datasource:
EXEC sp_tables_ex mylink, works fine with mylink being the linked server name. I get the table names eg. table1$, table2$.... However when I try to query the tables, I get this error:
Server: Msg 7313, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'.

Hello,Using Enterprise Manager, I deleted from my database the only tablethat contained records (Right-Click on Table, Choose "Delete Table").My expectation was that the LARGE .mdf file would be reduced to minimalsize (at least as small as the Northwind MDF). However, it's still 4+Gig in size!! (Northwind is 2.62 MB). This is a problem, bc I deletedthe table in order to recapture hard drive space.NOTE: I already tried using Shrink Database in EM. This significantlyreduced the size of the .mdf file from its original (i.e. pre-delete)size of 38 Gig to present size of 4 Gig.What can I do to further reduce the size of the MDF file?Thank you.

My goal is to monitor all failed login attempts to server. I have:
DECLARE @traceidnum INT, @on BIT, @file_path NVARCHAR(50), @maxsize bigint;
SET @on = 1; SET @maxsize =5; SET @file_path = 'c: race'; --Create trace EXEC sp_trace_create @traceid = @traceidnum OUTPUT, @options = 2, @tracefile = @file_path, @maxfilesize = @maxsize, @stoptime=null, @filecount =0; --trace stop EXEC sp_trace_setstatus @traceidnum, 0 --Set events EXEC sp_trace_setevent @traceidnum, 14, 1, @on --trace start EXEC sp_trace_setstatus @traceidnum, 1
this works fine, but the problem is when sql server restarts I loose trace but trace-file remains. When I want to create new trace with the same parameters I receive Error = 0x80070050(File Exists) .
Is there any way to reuse trace-file? Or to change trace's file path to indicate file already created?RegardsKonRi

I see file ID 2 identifying the log file. I've never done a restore like this - using copy_only and backing the database and log into separate .bak files, so maybe I'm misunderstanding something here.
Thanks for any help
