Dynamic File Name For Attachment
Sep 7, 2007
hi
I am encountering the same problem above and I did exacly as described . But it is not working.
I must send emails every month with dynamically named files as attachments.
The files are named according to the date on which they are generated.
For example on the first of November 2007, the file will be named myfile_1_11_2007.
I have created a variable called DynamicFileName with package scope, data type string and default value: d:\tests\
In "Send Mail Task Editor" Dialog Box, I have specified the following:
smtpConnection: smtptest.server.com
From :nemo@smtptest.server.com
To: nemo@smtptest.server.com
Subject: Dynamic File Email
MessageSourceType: Variable
MessageSource: blank
Priority: blank
Attachments: blank
In Expressions, I have specified:
FileAttachments: @[User:ynamicFileName] + "myfile_" + (DT_STR, 4, 1252) DAY( GETDATE() ) + "_" + (DT_STR, 4, 1252) MONTH( GETDATE() ) + "_" + (DT_STR, 4, 1252) YEAR ( GETDATE() ) + ".csv"
When I execute the package, I get the following errors:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error at Send Mail Task [Send Mail Task]: Either the file "d:\tests\myfile_1_7_2007.csv" does not exist or you do not have permissions to access the file.
Error at Send Mail Task: There were errors during task validation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, the file does not exist. It will exist at tun-time. How can I tell the Send Mail Task to use a filename that is dynamic ?
By the way, once I have specified the code for FileAttachments, on trying to edit the Send Mail Task Properties, I can see that the Atachments field has been set to "d: estsmyfile_1_7_2007.csv by itself: I never typed it there !! It seems that the task executes the code even before it is run. If I remove the attachment path manually, on running the dts, I get an error saying that "either the file does not exist or you do not have permission to access the file.
I would be most grateful if anyone could be of help
thanks

I have report which accepts a card number and fromdate and todate as parameters to the report. This report needs to be sent on a quarterly basis to each of the customer mail id to which their card number is linked. I am getting all this information from a database and sending as an attachment to the customer. Now I would need making these filename's which are attached to be dynamic based on the input parameters.
In datadriven subscriptions, the option of include report has only true or false values and another option was to take from a database. I tried putting the dynamic file name in the database and getting the value from the database but no success, the subscription itself is failing here. I guess I am doing something wrong here by binding the report name from the value which I am getting from DB to the actual report name.
If report name = Mytransactions, and the parameters passed are Card = 123,fromdate = 1/1/2010,todate = 31/3/2010.
Now in the attachment the file name should be something like "Mytransactions_123_January1st2010_March31st2010".
How to make the filename dynamic.

I hace an Execute SQL task which calls a sproc which contains the sp_send_mail system sproc to e-mail a set of query results . It is OK as long as the query results are small, but I get this error if they get too big: - File attachment or query results size exceeds allowable value of 1000000 bytes.
any way to change (and where to change) this value.

The following 2 stored procedures are used to insert and select attachments for a web application I'm creating. The stored porcedures work in the basic sense but when I do the insert only one record is inserted. Also, when I do the select only one record is selected.
I'm wondering if I there is suppose to be some sort of record counting or looping involved to insert and return all records. If there is, I would appreciate any advice and/or examples on the proper way of doing this.
If the code is also needed I'd be glad to post it as well.
Thanks
CREATE PROCEDURE AddAttachments
(
@FILENAME varchar(200),
@FILE_PATH varchar(2000),
@T_PK int
)
AS
INSERT INTO ATTACHMENTS (FILENAME, FILE_PATH, T_PK) VALUES (@FILENAME, @FILE_PATH, @T_PK);
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE SelectAttachments
(
@PK int
)
AS
SELECT FILENAME, FILE_PATH
FROM TASKINGS RIGHT OUTER JOIN
ATTACHMENTS ON T.PK = ATTACHMENTS.T_PK

I'm dynamically attaching some files to an email. I'm using an expression to build something similar to this:
@[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName1] + (DT_STR,30,1252)YEAR( GETDATE()) + (DT_STR,30,1252)MONTH( GETDATE()) + (DT_STR,30,1252)DAY( GETDATE()) + ".csv" + "|" + @[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName2] + (DT_STR,30,1252)YEAR( GETDATE()) + (DT_STR,30,1252)MONTH( GETDATE()) + (DT_STR,30,1252)DAY( GETDATE()) + ".csv"
BOL says to use a pipe delimiter to send multiple attachments. This works if I only have a couple of files. Once I get a few more attachments built in the expression builder I get a truncation error. If I build the whole expression in notepad and past it into the property window it also gets truncated. I see in the MSDN library that some expressions may be limited to 4000 bytes. I'm nowhere near that. Maybe a thousand bytes at most.
Question 1: Does anyone know if certain expressions have smaller byte limits?
Question 2: Is there a smaller byte limit for the file attachment value?
Question 3: Is there way I could build this string outside of the file attachment property and assign it to a variable and then use this variable in the file attachment property?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

I have tried different events to be logged on the Details-tab on Configure SSIS Logs, but I don't get the information that I want.
I also want to send this log-file as an attachment in a couple of Send Mail task in the same package. But then I get this error:
Error at Mail Error [Send Mail Task]: Either the file "filename.txt" does not exist or you do not have permissions to access the file.
The file does exist and there is no permission problem because I don't get this error when I remove logging.
Isn't it possible to do this in SSIS-packages?
It works in DTS-packages.

Sara

Need to know how I can get the dynamic filename created in the FlatFile destination for insert into a package audit table?
Scenario: Have created a package that successfully outputs Dynamiclly named flat files { Format: C:Test’Comms_File_’ + ‘User::FileNumber’+’_’+Date +’.txt’
E.g.: Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt etc} using Foreach Loop Container :
* Enumerator Set to: “Foreach ADO Enumerator” with the ADO object source variable selected to identify how many total loop iterations there are i.e. Let’s say 4 thus 4 files to be created
*Variable Mappings : added the User::FileNumber – indicates which file number current loop iteration is i.e. 1,2,3,4
For the DataFlow task have a OLDBSource and a FlatFile Destination where Flat File ConnectionString is set up as:
@[User::Output_Path] + "Comms_File"+ @[User:: FileNumber] +"_" + replace((DT_WSTR, 10) (DT_DBDATE) GETDATE(),"-","")+ ".txt"
All this successfully creates these 4 files:
Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt, Comms_File_3_20150724.txt, Comms_File_4_20150724.txt
Now the QUESTION is how do I get these filenames as I need to insert them into a DB Audittable. The audit table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MMMAudit
(
AuditID INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL,
PackageName VARCHAR(100) NULL,
FileName VARCHAR(100) NULL,
LoadTime DATETIME NULL,
NumberofRecords INT NULL
)
To save the Filename & how many records in each file in our Audit Table, am using an Execute SQL Task and configuring it as this:
Execute SQL Task
Parameter mapping - Mapped the User Variable (RecordsInserted) and System Variable( PackageName) to Insert statement as shown below
SQLStatement: INSERT INTO [dbo].[MMMAudit] (
PackageName,NumerofRecords,LoadTime)
(?,?.GETDATE)
Again this all works terrific & populates the dbo.MMMAudit table as shown below BUT I also need to insert the respsctive file name – How do I do that?
AuditID PackageName FileName NumberOfRecords
1 MMM NULL 12
2 MMM NULL 23
3 MMM NULL 14
4 MMM NULL 1

I am having an issue with the File System Task.
I was wondering if there is a way to 'Move File' with the File System Task inside of a For Each Loop container but to dynamically set the Destination path variable.
Currently, this is what I have:
FileDestinationPath variable - set to C:TestFiles
FileSourcePath variable - set to C:TestFiles
FileNameAndLocation variable - set to blank
For Each Loop Container Iterates through a folder C:TestFiles that has .txt files in it with dates in the file name. Ex: Test_09142006.txt. Sets the file path (fully qualified) to the Variable Mapping FileNameAndLocation.
Script Task (within For Each Loop, first step) Sets the FileDestinationPath to the correct dated folder within C:TestFiles. For example, if the text files I want to move are for the 14th of September, it takes FileDestinationPath and appends the date folder to the end of it. The text files have a date in the file name (test_09142006.txt) and I am picking this apart (from FileNameAndLocation in the For Each Loop) to get the folder date. (dts.Variables(User::FileDestinationPath?).Value = dts.Variables(User::FileDestinationPath?).Value & ? Month & _? & Day & _? & Year & ?) which gives me C:TestFiles 9_14_2006?.
File System Task (within For Each Loop, second step) This is where the action is supposed to occur. I want it to take the FileDestinationPath and move the FileNameAndLocation file (from the For Loop) into this folder for each run.
Now as for my problem. I want this package to run everyday but it has to set the FileDestinationPath variable dynamically according to that days date. Basically, how do I get this to work since I cant hard code the destination path variable from the start? I have the DestinationVariable on the File System Task set to the FileDestinationPath variable, after the script task builds it. However, using FileNameAndLocation as the SourceVariable on my File System Task tells me that the Variable FileNameAndLocation? is used as a source or destination and is empty.?
Let me know if I need to clarify further...I may be missing something very simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi All,
I have a source files folder where the files generated everyday.
My goal is pick the latest file and copy this single file to another folder.
I used the Foreach loop container and got the latest file and stored the file name to a varible i.e. LatestFile
Then i want to use the File System Task to copy this to the destination.
On the beginning, I could not setup the Latestfile since I don't its name then, so when I setup the Source Connection property of the File system task, it is not allowed to leave the SourceVarible as blank!
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Hi,
we have one requirement to run the package daily basis.
The package should run at specific time on that day.
we are using windows schedular for that.
we will have one new flatfile everyday.
Is there any process to attach this file to flat file source dynamically?
The requirement is,
The flat file should be able to read the new flatfile everyday.
we have no option change it manually, the flatfile source should have to take the file automatically at that time.
So that it can take that flatfile and load it into database table.

I have a stored procedures that will import 28 CSV files with different columns layout for each one, into their own table in SQL Server 2008 and a master stored procedure which will execute the other 28 store procedures.
All the CSV files are stored on the network drive in one folder.The naming of these files will vary from week to week and I don't want to manually change the names in the stored procedures. Each table name has a unique Identifier F1 to F28 that will be a constant before the rest of the name for example ...
F1_country23
F2_region12
Can I use the unique Identifier to add an wildcard or variable to the stored proc so it will pick any file in the folder for example with "F1" or "F2" meaning format layout 1 or 2 and use the correct stored procedure like below?
WHEN 'F1' THEN 'usp_F1_ImportScript'
WHEN 'F2' THEN 'usp_F2_ImportScript'
Example SQL scripts so far ...
Code:
Create PROC [dbo].[usp_F1_ImportScript]
-- Check if template table already exists and if it does then delete the table
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[CSVTest]') AND type in (N'U'))
DROP TABLE dbo.CSVTest
-- Create a new template table
[Code] ....
the SP which will run the 28 SP
Code:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_FilePicker] (@FileName VARCHAR(255))
AS
--check if @FileName is null
IF @FileName IS NULL
BEGIN
SELECT 'No Files Match' AS ERROR
[Code] .....
I cannot use SSIS because other users from different countries (50+ so far) may need to add/delete columns in the raw text/cvs files (for their own test environment) meaning there may be changes needed to made to the SQL scripts and with documentation any user without experience with MSSQL would be able to make simple changes.

Hello,
I have a requirement to create a reusable process that will be able to read a file and insert it into a table. The complication comes from the fact that the process will not just need to handle one file format, but files that will come in up to 20 different formats. (Some will be fixed width, some will be comma delimited, column names will be different.)
Since these formats may potentially change, such as a new column being added, the process needs to be dynamic enough to handle this without changing the package itself. While this task is somewhat daunting, I was hoping that SSIS might be able to handle it.
One thought that I had was to somehow have dynamic file connection, with the information about the file coming from a table. (I.e. The table would store values to specify the column name for a file type, the delimiter used, etc.) However, I don't know if this is something that SSIS is equipped to handle.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Attila

Does anyone know if this is possible:
I have an FTP server that will be receiving files. The directory
and file structure will be a folder with a client name (can be called
anything) and it will have files in it (these files will have the same
filenames as all the other directories. So I will have folder
JimmyDoe with files a.txt, b.txt, c.txt and I will have JonnyDue with
files a.txt, b.txt, and c.txt.
Now I'm trying to figure out a way to get that dynamic file location to
a DTS package so I can import all the data from the text file into a
SQL server. The way the SQL server will be set up is that each
Folder from the FTP site will be a separate Database and each file will
1:1 with a table with the same name..
My biggest issue is figuring out a way to tell the DTS package the file
location to pull all those files and then importing them to the proper
database.
I'm not limiting the solution to DTS packages so if .NET can be
incorporated to make it easier then so be it. But keep in mind I
can have up to 200 folders with 12 - 20 text files ranging from
hundreds of rows of data to many thousands of rows. And the
package needs to be ran twice a day so time/performance is an
issue.
To recap: Need DTS package that uses Dynamic file source and transfers data to Dynamic database destination.
(And I'll write slow VB.NET code to handle this before I create/manage 200+ DTS packages as a solution)
Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

SQL Server 2K
OK, I'm probably being a bone-head here and am clearly in over my head but how do you (or can you?) set up a Bulk Insert to take a dynamic path/file name?
What I want to do is pass in the path and file name from an external process to a stored procedure that bulk inserts the content of the file and then does some other routines on it. I haven't had any luck getting Bulk Insert to run if the path/file name is not hard-coded in the sproc as a string.
The point is to have a master routine that can exercise the process for several different customers and use meta data in a table to inform what file to bulk insert.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I have a file that is automatically generated by an external process that will always have the same name + a date stamp.I will say test_(Datestamp).txt
what i am trying to do is use sql to bulk insert this file but i will not know the full file name as the date stamp is also includes time. What my script is doing is taking this file everyday storing its contents temporarily in a table where i then use a trigger to edit and repopulate the table and kick out a new file that another external process uses.

Say I am going to write to a different Flat File for every product. So if there are 10 products in the data. There should be 10 Flat Files. Also the file name should include the Product Name And Product ID.
It is being done in a single Data Flow Task.
Right now the Property Expression for the File Name is which is not working)
Code Snippet@DestFolder + [Data Conversion].ProductID + @TodaysDate + ".txt"
The ProductIDs are in the ascending order. Any help or guidance?

Hi All,
I'm new to SSIS. I have a small problem. In our system we are trying to create flat files based on data from returned from different SQL stored procedures. The configuration settings for creating the flat files are stored in a SQL table.
For example, the config table will look like below :
Feed Id Feed Name Feed File Name Feed Stored Procedure Name
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 Biz C:Biz.txt dvx_GetBiz
2 PG C:PG.csv dvx_GetPG
3 NexT C:NexT.txt dvx_GetNexT
4 Amez C:Amez.csv dvx_GetAmez
The problem is dvx_GetBiz, dvx_GetPG,... all have different number and types of columns. So, I'm not able to create a dynamic Flat File destination depending on the columns returned from the corresponding stored procedure.
Is there a way to accomplish this ?
Pl. help.
Awaiting someones reply ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Vidya.

So, is there a way to dynamically point to a different / unique jpg on the network? or, even an internal website?
Ideally, the images would be stored in the database and I am looking into this as well.
