Is there a way to dynamically rename a report? For example if I schedule a report to run every day and I want the report names to be like Report_Dec01_2006, Report_Dec02_2006, etc. This way the users can see which days data is in each of the report.
Any way to handle this?
Thx
I have one share folder ,every month end-user will copy & paste excel file into particular share folder. Ok .
Now i have to create new SSIS package as schedule should run every month to find the file and then load automatically into Sql server tables and then move those excel file to another share folder if file successfully loaded only.
The excel file name will be changing every month. but the format wont change. If any body knows this process or steps.
Please share with me .
Thanks in Advance.
I've just started using SQL Server 2005 Integration Services and
I've come up against a situation where I need to name output files
dynamically (i.e. based on a timestmap). Looking through this
newsgroup, and other web resources it looks like my only option is to use a Script Task/ActiveX Script Task to rename the file after it has
been created with a generic file name.
I was wondering if there was a different approach or if there was a way to pass in a variable to the file connection manager that I could append to the file name at run-time.
Thanks

I have a situation where I want to load the Excel file dynamically, and the excel file have different columns or even worksheet name. How I could approach this? I believe there's no way to modify the meta data (specifically the mapping) in the data flow.

I am creating a report that uses a list that has page breaks. The breaks are grouped by a certain field. When exporting the report to excel, the page breaks translate to individual tab sheets. The question is can I name the tab sheets according to the field grouping applied to the list. Example the field grouping is department name. Therefore the tabs should be:
Sheet1 = Finance
Sheet2 = Human Resource
Sheet3 = Project Management
Thanks & Regards,

I have a report with multiple tables that I am rendering in Excel. Each table has a page break.
The Excel output has multiple sheets as intended. However, the sheet tabs are labeled "Sheet 1", "Sheet 2" etc.
I would like to put my own labels on those tabs to describe the table that is on that sheet.
Is there any property I can set to do this?
By the way, I am running the reports as a console application in VB .NET 2005. So there may be some VB trick for doing this as well.
I have a report, which when I do Export to excel it comes in excel in multiple worksheets(because I ahve page breaks in my report), Now I want to name each worksheet programatically and not manually, Any idea how we can name the worksheet through reporting services, so that on export to excel I will get the work sheets with my preferred names

I have created a package that creates a CSV file by exporting data from SQL Server 2005 sp2.
I am looking to have the process of naming the files automated so i don;t need to change the package every time i need the files generated.
is there away that SSIS can automatically name the CSV files using the database name that the data is coming from?
eg.
Database Filename
DB1 DB1.File.csv
DB2 DB2.File.csv
where file remains constant.
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
Currently have a single hard coded file path to the SSRS config file which parses the file and provides the reporting services web service url. My question is how would i run this same query against 100s of servers that may or may not share the same file path as the one hard coded ?
Is there a way to query the registry to find the location of the config file of any server ? which could be on D, E, F, H, etc.
I know I can string together the address followed by "reports" and named instance if needed, but some instances may not have used the default virtual directory name (Reports).
Am I going about this the hard way ? Is there a location where the web service url exists in a table ? I could not locate anything in the Reporting service database. Basically need to inventory all of my reporting services url's.
Is there anyway to send excel file from ssis using send mail task without saving the excel file locally. I need to automate the process which involves loading the excel file from the database and send it to some people.

I am trying to create a DTS package that uses a sql stored procedure to generate a set of results and export those results to an excel spreadsheet on a server.
The trick is that the stored procedure accepts a parameter for Bank_Number (there are 10 of them). Therefore i was wondering if there was a way to somehow create the package to run the stored proc 10 times, each with a different bank number as the parameter and generate 10 different excel spreadsheets, one for each bank with it's results.
Can this be done using DTS or do i have to try another method?
thanks

Hi everybody, i'm a newbie to SSIS and I'm having a problem dynamically creating a new excel spreadsheet in SSIS.
What I need to do is be able to dynamically create a brand new Excel spreadsheet after a data flow task completes.
Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.
In my SSIS package I have a loop container that I am running the same code against 4 servers.
I have the package export the SQL data to an Excel spreadsheet that has multiple tabs.
Is there a way I can change the tab on the fly or do I need to create a Connection for the same spreadsheet 4 times
Each Connection pointing to a different tab?
I tried to set up a expression for the Excel Connection Manager to use the InitialCatalog for the tab and change it
based on the script in the loop however this causes the following error:
An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
Thanks in advance
Hi All..
I have an issue where I'm trying to export data from Sql Server tables (or from a result set in a SP or view) into Excel Spreadsheets. Normally I would use a simple data flow to do this. However, I need to do this on-the-fly because the schema of the Sql data is not static. The table could be a different one or the result set would have column schema that is not always the same.
The constant in all of this is that the spreadsheet columns and the table (or result set) column schema is identical. It's just that the column count and column names are not defined at design time, but would need to be defined at runtime.
Going from Excel to Sql Server is simple as I used a Script Task and the SQLBulkCopy class to dynamically transfer the data. However, BOL says that it's only one way (Data to Sql Server). Basically I need the to go the opposite direction now.
I have all of the information (SQL Table server, database, schema, and name and the Excel file path and name) already set up in variables and running through a ForEach container and I can dynamically change the variable information. I just need to figure out how to dynamically map the columns, create the spreadsheet file, and load the data into the spreadsheet. I'm sure this has been tossed around before. If someone could point me in the right direction I would most grateful.
Thanks.
Lee.
Hello:
I have an OLEDB source that uses a stored procedure which pivots records and returns me data with columns which are dynamic (Changing every time). How can I export this data with dynamic number of columns to excel destination?

Hi,
There is one manual process done by my friend. The process is " In query analyser, she runs a sql query and the resultset of Sql query, she copies and pastes into a excel workbook".
I wanted to write a SSIS package to automate it and providing a UI, in which she can give connection details and paste the SQL query and the package will in turn generate excel workbook in the target path". I thought of trying ExecuteSQL task, but the output resultset of ExecuteSQL task cannot be mapped dynamically to excel source(correct me if I am wrong). If I use Dataflow task, then also whether dynamic mapping of SQL output to Excel destination input is possible?
Can you please tell me the best approach for achieving the above functionality?
Thanks,

I have an app written in delphi v5 with a MS SQL Database and I'm struggling with an import feature i need
The user needs a function to import Contact data from a txt/csv file into the Contact Table
Details of feature:
the user enters the different parameters into the Delphi app e.g.
File Location
Files Includes Column Headings or not
Whether the file Comma or Tab Seperated
Mapping the fields
Then i need to use those parameters and run some sort of import routine putting the data into the specific table.
The tables consists of 3 fields - First Name, Surname, Mob Number - but these fields can be in any order in the file. for example Col 1 (in file) needs to go into Field 3 in DB. this is sorted in the Mapping Fields above
How do I do this using MS SQL??
I've been looking at using the BULK INSERT command e.g
BULK INSERT Contact
FROM 'C:Import_data.csv'
WITH
{
FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
ROWTERMINATOR = ''
}
but at the minute i just get error -
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Syntax error or access violation.
Is this the correct command to use??
Do you know any websites that can point me in the right direction??

hi all
I have a table which has the paths where the source files need to be collected.
So I have a set of files which I need to collect. So I need to iterate through the result set which retrieves the paths
where the files can be found and set this dynamically to connection string of flat file connection manager.
Can anyone please let me know how to do this.
Can you be a little elaborate as to how we can do this because I am really new to SSIS.
Please help me as I am new to SSIS.
