I have a SSIS package in which at the end i have a excel destination task which imports a table data in excel files and then send it as an attachment using email task but i am facing a issue which is mentioned below -
1. The SSIS package runs as a SQL server agent job once in a day now every time the job runs i need to creat a new excel ( or delete the older one create again ) import data in that excel using Excel destination and then send it as an attachment using email task , How can i dynamically change the excel destination to point to a template file or new file
2. WIth the email task i am able to send only one attachment , i tried seperating the file names using semi colon but it is giving error "You dont have permission to access the file or file does not exists"
IS that possible to get teh output of a execute sql task to excel destination.I have query which will comapre the data difference between two databses. It will comapre all tables in both databses and list out the difference in data by each table. I need to run this query using SSIS and need to get the output to a excel sheet...I have used the data flow task to run this query but my query is giving some error when used with data flow task. So i have used excecute sql task and need to write teh out put to a excel sheet.
OK. I give up and need help. Hopefully it's something minor ...
I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.

Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
i have an SSIS package that exports to an excel file. This works fine. the problem is that it appends the data instead of overwriting the file. Is there any way to overwrite the file like you can with a flat file? I have to email the file everyweek and don't want to have to clear it out manually. Any help would be appreciated
I have ssis package where I have excel connection manager with expression pointing to a variable which has path for location and name of excel spreadsheet to be create each with date on the name.ExcelFilePath points to variable for shared location where excel file will be saved.I have File system task for copying template excel file to destination location with date in file name.I drag and drop excel destination. Pointed to excel connection manager. Under data access mode, I have select table and view. When I try to select name of excel sheet, it says, no tables or views could be loaded. I should be able to see sheetname there so that I can map column. I only have option to create new spreadsheet. I want to use template to load data in excel file. I dont want to create new sheet. It was working before. But I opened the ssis package and its broken. I was able to see spreadsheet name before but I dont see it now even though I have not made any change to package.

Does an empty file (text/ Excel) needs to be created manually for the connection manager for (text/excel)destinations. Can I create the file at run time?????
Hello everybody . I am building DTS transfer data from SQL server into Excel file
source query constant ,but destination will be supplied by parameter
At design time I created destination excel file and saved a copy of it like C: empl_excel.xls
presently dts work in following order 1. set datasource of destination from global varaibale(@@X) 2. execute xp_cmdshell to copy C: empl_execel.xls to file in @@X 3.Run transformation
How to eliminate step 2 ? If I run step 1 and 3 ,I get error "table does not exist" How dynamicly create table in excel and map columns for transfer
I'm not able to find this information so I thought I would ask it here. I'm in the process of exporting some data from a OLE source to a excel spreadsheet. My only problem is that in the beginning of the spreadsheet there are some logos and other misc data. So I need to start my data dump on a few cells below all of this information . Is there a way to tell SSIS a certain cell to begin the data pull from a database table? I just want to start for example in cell "A50" instead of "A1". Is this possible ?
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 looking to generate batch reports in an excel format when data becomes available. I want those files in a shared directory and I want the ability to send them out via email. Formatting is very important. I cannot use SSRS because the spreadsheets need additional formatting that SSRS does not provide (naming of tabs, numbers formatted as numbers without "the number in the cell is formatted as text..." comment, etc.). I also need to get this done quickly.
SoftArtisans OfficeWriter seemed to have a solution that generating excel sheets on the server using datatags in cells. I saw another post on xlsgen (http://www.excelgenerator.com/). I am a little suprised there is no Microsoft solution. Is there one outside of installing Excel on the server?
I am trying to create a table destination to excel which fails with the following error that " Table cannot be created " System Error in Field definition" where as the same works in the Falt File Destination. What could be the problem????
Hi I build a query with using oledbsource control in Oracle Database. I can read datas. then i want to export data. (Excel file) I use excel destination for to do this. But i have an error.
Is it possible to force the generated CREATE TABLE code to maintain the same field order within the OLE DB source that feeds its. I have a feeling its random property I will never find. However with the large number of fields I am dealing with and the necessity to have an exact order. I was hoping there was an easier work around then to recreate the CREATE TABLE sql manually.
I have a pretty simple process that copies some files from an AS400 to a directory on the same server where my sql 2005 instance lives. I then use an email task to send these files to a client.
However, the email task does not work. I get the following message:
[Send Mail Task] Error: Either the file "BYNSOSR1;BYNSOSR2;BYNSOSR3;BYNSOSR4;BYNSOSR5;BYNSOSR6;BYNSOSR7" does not exist or you do not have permissions to access the file.
Well, the files definitely exist where they are supposed to be so I guess it's a permissions error. However, I have no clue which user would need permissions on that directory. As a test, I gave everyone read permissions and still got this error.
Any suggestions about which user I need to allow read access to the directory where these files exist?
I am generating the text file on run time using flat file destination. The text file is generated on the location C: SSIS or D:SSIS based on the location specified in the configuration file.
The text file contains the non matching rows during lookup transform task.
I want to send this dynamically generated text file using the send email task.
But while doing this, I receive an error during package validation:
Package validation error:
Error at send email task [ send email task ] : either the file C:SSISErroroutput.txt does not exists or you do not have permission to access the file.
Error at send email task ; There were error during task validation.
Please suggest as I need to generate the text file only in case of lookup failure.
I am exporting table rows (based on a query) into an excel file but I don't want to append to the file. I would like to delete the rows that were previously added and then add the new data. The file has column headings and I would like these to exist all the time.
I know how to export the data but don't know how to delete 'old' data rows from excel.
I've a problem with excel destination spread sheet.I've created a package which pulls the data from sql server and load it into excel sheet.The main thing Ive to do is I've to create different destination tables(work sheets) for different data.i.e.,The source is a sql query which pulls the data in groupwise with group by clause.So,I've to create individual work sheet for each group with that data.How it can be done.Please, advice me.
ts my first time trying to set up a SSIS job using the import/export wizard to export the results of a query into an excel file.
i am using sql server 2005, windows XP SP2.
In the last step in the excel destination editor, in the connection manager when i am trying to select the excel file to write into i am getting this error.
'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 ' provider is not registered on the local machine.
I have set up the excel connection manager. i have changed the properties of the project to set
the Run64BitRuntime to false.
i am running the latest version of MDAC 2.8 on the machine too
please let me know if there is anything else i need to do to fix this.
I am retrieving some data that contains three or four hundred thousand rows. These rows are supposed to go into an excel file with multiple worksheets, since one Excel worksheet cannot handle rows that are more than 65536. Below is what I need to achieve:
Dynamically create mutiple worksheets. Re-direct data like this i.e. first 64K in first worksheet and next 64K in next worksheet and so on. Dynamically name the work sheet with the start value in that work sheet e.g. OrderNumber or OrderDate.

I assume that this is caused by the no. of records im loading since the .xls file can only contain 65,000 records.... i tried using the .xlsx file but i guess it only accepts .xls.
What's the alternative to load to excel 2005 with this numbers of records?
Hello, I am trying to create a simple package programmatically. I am following the examples in the BOL, and from some advice here. I am getting stuck at creating an Excel Destination and setting its sheetname. Everything works fine, including setting the output Excel filename. I get a runtime exception when I try to set the sheetname via SetComponentProperty. Is there another way, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any info you may have.
' Create and configure an OLE DB destination.
Dim conDest As ConnectionManager = package.Connections.Add("Excel")
I have an OLEDB source that i would want to ideally take in Excel with a dynamic file name. Right now, i am exporting the data successfully in a flat file (csv) destination. I checked the integrity and it seems like when i try opening the file with Excel ,one of the columns is not fitting in one cell, instead, its taking two cell space ?
With Excel , i was getting the error message saying "Field Name ABC cannot convert between unicode and non unicode string data types".
I'm trying to export data to an Excel destination. I'm receving the following error on a notes column which is an nvarchar(max) datatype.
Error: 0xC0202025 at Data Flow Task, Excel Destination [124]: Cannot create an OLE DB accessor. Verify that the column metadata is valid.
I realize that the charcater limit on an Excel cell is 32, 767 characters, but none of the test data that I'm using is close to that. I've also tried using ntext and receive the same error. When I change the datatype to nvarchar(4000), it works fine. I've also changed the destination to a flat file using nvarchar(max) and I don't receive the error. Unfortunately, our vendor specifies that they have to have an Excel file. Does anyone know what is causing this error, if it's a bug, or have any suggestions?
When i use a preformated excel sheet as destination in data flow task, When a export is done a blank row appears in between the header and data i.e. row no 2.
Has anyone had any success sending or receiving file(s) from either Script or FTP task? I've Google and found examples and no luck for me. The main idea is to send a file from local PC/server to mainframe.
I've used this workaround, SSIS Script Task but no good.

I have a strange problem, which I never encountered earlier, I have a data flow which has one source and multiple destinations, I am also using multicast and derived column transformations too, however when I run the package (either from cmd line or designer) the data flow task hangs when it comes to inserting data into the target tables. and it keeps waiting forever. Initialy I thought it was my data set , however if with very few records the problem persists. I have also tried removing the table lock from the destination , increasing the rows per batch to 10000 and commit size to 10000 but to no change. I am using the fast load option within my destination. When I run sp_who2 on my Management Studio I see that the status of all the processes is sleeping and the command is "awaiting command" , any help appreciated.
Wondering if it is by design that when I select messagesource to be variable it only shows user variables or if there is some setting I'm missing to expose the system variables?
This email task is on the eventhandler tab. Thanks
I have just created and tested a package that uses the Send Email Task and it works fine in our dev environment - I guess this is expected as I am an admin on my machine and have rights on our mail server. But Im trying to document the considerations for rolling this out into a customer production setting.
Is anyone familiar with the security considerations or can point me in the direction of some documentation?
For example, presumably the SQL Server Agent Windows Account will need rights to contact the mail server? Will it need its "own" email account or can you just put any valid email addy in the from box? Presumably the account will need the right permissions to access the attachement file too?
Do these sound like relevant considerations to pass on to customer DBAs/system admins? Anything else Ive missed, am I worrying to much?!
How can I programmatically change the properties of Send Mail task using Script Task. I want to change the From, To and Attachment parameters of the Send Mail task.
If the Script Task can't do it, Is there any alternative to do?
