I used the FOR XML PATH feature but the XML result is in only one line,
it does not conserve the XML structure (treeview). When I open the XML
file with IE, it s working very (I have the XML hierarchy) but when I
use Visual Studio or other tool to edit it, I ve just one line!
For example:
<children group=""><child firstname="" lastname=""></child>=""><child
firstname=""
lastname=""></child>..............................</children>............
And I d like to have
<children group="">
<child firstname="" lastname=""></child>="">
<child firstname="" lastname=""></child>
..............................
</children>

I am adding a file to a filegroup on a remote system, and i don't know the direcotry structure of that machine, how can i provide the path for FILENAME param. :eek:
ALTER DATABASE TESTDB ADD FILE (NAME = N'TESTFILE', FILENAME = N'physicalfilepath.ndf') TO FILEGROUP TESTFILEGROUP
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. Â 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.Â
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.
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(€œUser::FileDestinationPath€?).Value = dts.Variables(€œUser::FileDestinationPath€?).Value & €œ€? Month & €œ_€? & Day & €œ_€? & Year & €œ€?) which gives me €œC: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 day€™s date. Basically, how do I get this to work since I can€™t 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 €œVariable €œFileNameAndLocation€? 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!
I am running my package in sql server 2012, in which i am giving network path for flat file destination. And its working fine. But if i give m local path, its giving me  error " cannot open data file" ...
I have an issue with a DTS package. We create a zip file and then attach it to emails going out using DTS. The problem is that the attachment, when received, is named using the full path to the file, so it is quite long.
Has anyone seen this before? Is there a way out of this?
I am considering mapping a drive to the share holding the file to be named, but the fact is this will shorten the name but will still result in the path being included.
I am wondering if this is a bug, as I suspect this isn't the default behaviour.
I experienced a weird error while deploying my SSIS package. After running the manifest file, i noticed that one of the configuration file's path was not updated in the dtsx file. My solution has 8 packages and almost every package has 2 configuration files. Except 1 file every other config file's path is being updated. Has anybody experieced such a problem?
I cannot get the log file path read from the configuration.
If the path in the Connection Manager is invalid, package throws an error "SSIS logging provider has failed to open the log" instead of reading it from the config.file. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the portion of the config file. Everthing else is read from the config file correctly.
Could anybody tell me the detail structure of the .mdf file. Actully I want to read the mdf file with out using MS SQL 2000. I know few details like it has 96 bytes header and pages are divided in 8Kb etc. But I want to know the exact details, so that I can read the Table names and columns at least.
When you attach an MDF that was created using SQL 7.0 to SQL Server 2000, the MDF file structure gets updated. The resulting MDF can no longer be used by SQL 7.0.
My Question: does anyone know how to read the file structure version of a detached MDF file?
If the file structure is 7.0, I would like to warn the user and allow her to cancel the attach + conversion to SQL 2000.
How do I dynamically change the file path for the source file in DTS? Can i use global variable?. if so , How do i use it in the connection task. Appreciate your help.

I have a sql compact table that stores a series of directory paths like so: C:F1BackupadministratorCDatakit.zip__--1-07272007124351.F1O C:F1BackupadministratorCDataDeploySMD_FSWsetup.exe__--1-11292007122443.F1O C:F1BackupadministratorCDataDeploySMD_FSWSMD_FSW.application__--1-11292007122443.F1O
Is there a way in sql that I can get just the directory name so the results would look like this: C:F1BackupadministratorCData C:F1BackupadministratorCDataDeploy C:F1BackupadministratorCDataDeploy
Also, is there a way to just get the file names so the results would look like this: kit.zip__--1-07272007124351.F1O setup.exe__--1-11292007122443.F1O SMD_FSW.application__--1-11292007122443.F1O
I've seen some examples with Sql server but they use the reverse function which is not available in sql compact.

I would like to build a customer badge with photo (jpg), address and barcode.
The issue I am having is that accounting application being used (MS SBF 9) does not store images in the database, but rather stores them on the file system.
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.
Is there any way I can configure the Configuration file Path.
I have an understanding that wherever I store my package but my Configuration file(XML) must be store in the place specified in the package. In my dev environment I have C Drive as such the package is in DevServerNameC:SSIS.
However, there is no C drive allocated in Prod envirnment as such package is going to rest in ProdServerName/SSIS
Now if I place my package and execute here and it will look for configuration files(XML) which are on C file path. Then I guess my package fails.
I am just wondering how can I make my package configure file path dynamic?
We have the following scenario: We receive CSV files every month for which SSIS packages were built to process the data. The following problems occur from time to time:
1. The structure of the CSV file changed (e.g. column added or removed) 2. There were no footers in the data, but now footers started to appear 3. Date format changed (e.g. used to be mm/dd/yyyy, but became mm.dd.yyyy) 4. Number format changed (e.g. from 2000 to 2,000)
Currently we have person who manually opens each file, and using our "validation document" validates to ensure none of these or similar problems occur. We would like to move away from this manual process if possible. I understand that items 3. and 4. could be caught by loading data into a staging table with VARCHAR data types, and performing validation before moving it any further.
Item 2 is a bit questionable (meaning depending on the footer size SSIS load could fail or not).
Item 1, however, is a sure fail of the SSIS package that directly loads the data into a table.
Thus I feel the two possible options are:
1. Create a custom script that will run through the file, row by row, apply all the necessary validations and report an error or continue if all checks out
2. Use some 3rd party tool to validate the files (semi-manually) before kicking off the SSIS processing.
I am having trouble configuring the log file path in dtsconfig. I don't want to keep changing the log file path every time I change environments.
Here are the parameters.
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.LogProviders[SSIS log provider for Text files].Properties[ConfigString]" ValueType="String"> <ConfiguredValue>SalesForceConnectLog</ConfiguredValue> </Configuration>
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.LogProviders[SSIS log provider for Text files].Properties[Name]" ValueType="String"> <ConfiguredValue>SSIS log provider for Text files</ConfiguredValue> </Configuration>
I tried to enter the path on [ConfigString] but it didn't work.
We are facing some issues with SSIS and thought if you could be of some help.
Actually, instead of Deploying our SSIS projects we copy the SSIS files to a different server from where we execute the SSIS Packages. The reason being, we have a Core Version of the application and this is deployed to different markets and subsequent customisations are performed in the market specific version of the Packages. The problem is although we have a Package Configuration Xml File for our Connection object, the first time when we copy the Packages, we have to manually open each of the Package and change the URL of the Xml File for Configuration. I read through some of the articles on the internet and came to know that the Package Configuration does not support relative path and only absolute path is possible.
Can you please share some of your suggestions on the above problem.
We have an encrypted drive (that can be mounted and dismounted, a third party tool to encrypt drive path). I wanted to store the secondary file to that encrypted drive path. The secondary file stores confidential information. I separated the table from the primary to secondary file. Encryption per column is not advisable to do on that table so we decided to separate that table and put it on secondary filegroup. The physical file is stored in the mounted drive path.
I can read and write in that mounted drive path. I can also read and write if the drive is unmounted (which I believe read and write is really being done). When the drive is unmounted, the physical secondary file (.ndf) is not visible to any user logging in the server itself (this is actually the goal why we do this encrypted drive setup thing). It is kept virtually somewhere in the machine. To mount it back, a password is needed.
I'm a bit confuse, somebody can advise or give their insight on this setup. I believe that when the drive is dismounted, SQL Server stored the transactions in cache until it finds that the drive is mounted back. This means that all transactions are not comitted yet. When the drive is mounted back, I think SQL Server is smart enough to check/know that the drive is physically present and will flash all the pending transaction from the cache to the hard drive.
Is my assumption correct? Is there any thing that I need to know about transaction, committed and those data flashing thing on the hard drive?
Before I launch into a long description of the issue, I was wondering whether its possible to dynamically amend the file path held in a configuration string? (I'm looking at the Package Configurations Organizer)
Basically recreating the /CONF switch in the dtexec utility
So a parent package could somehow tell a child package to pull its configuration from a selection of different xml config files at run time... I couldn't see a variable in the child package to set from the former
My only idea at the moment is to replace the Execute Package Task with an Execute Process Task, and directly invoke the child using dtexec & an expression to dynamically set the /CONF switch..
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?
I have a query to pass .csv file data into sql table using bulkinsert . I used :
CREATE TABLE #CSVTest (CouponCode VARCHAR(200)) /* Insertion From csv Source To Table */ BULK INSERT #CSVTest FROM 'C:Apple.csv'
[Code] ....
This worked very fine to me. Now, the thing is i should pass the filename as parameter and so that what ever file i specified in execute command , query should take that file and push that file data from .csv file to sql table.
I'm looking for an example on how to import a Flat file that is not a csv file but had data on several lines, a small indicator at the beginning of the line indicates what kind of data is on the rest of the line. Not every field is availabye for each block.
Anybody got an idea on where to find this kind of samples.
Hello, Completely new to this stuff, so sorry if I'm asking something that is painfully simple to resolve!!! Also, not sure whether there are standard formats for code, errors etc.
OK. When I create a Login.aspx file in VWD Express on my local Hard Disk Drive, the file works and runs correctly, allowing me to log in etc. However, when I do exactly the same thing using a remote Network Drive connection to an Intranet server, when you enter the Username and Password, and Click the Log In Button, the following error message appears:-

I'm running EM on my local box and sql server on a remote internetaccessed box.How do I specify a file path for a DTS package to access files on theremote box?For example, to run a local dts package the filepath isc:filepathfile.txt.How would I change the file path/name to allow the dts package toaccess files on the same remote machine?-Dave
We have been storing packages in the File System folder. We had noticed that there seemed to be times when re-importing an existing package did not seem to update it properly. We tried deleting the existing package first rather than overwriting it, but to no avail.
Today we noticed that there were two DTS90Packages folders, one on the C drive and one on the D drive. The dates on the files in those folders showed that sometimes the import put the file on one drive, and other times on the other drive.
The MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml file shows this: "<StorePath>..Packages</StorePath> ".
We intend to stored the packages in the msdb database instead in order to work around this problem.
