I have to make a application using filesystemwatcher which watches the file on the remote server. If that file is changed then I have to fetch that file from ftp location to the server. I have made the SSIS job to fetch the file but not able to set a file system watcher on remote server that watches the file. If the file is changed then I need to insert a row in the SQL server database and then fetch the file.
I used file system watcher to read excel on my pc it worked fine, but when I tried to read the excel from SharePoint it did't work. The FileWatcher box showing the yellow color for long time that I had to stop the ssis.
So my question what is the cause of this. Do i need to set something or am i missing something? Please help.
Ive built an SSIS package which generates a file from a legacy system and then downloads the file into a designated folder on the server. I need the file watcher task to wait for a the file to completely finish loading before it says it is complete. Currently, as soon as the file is created, the WMI step finishes.
Installed File watcher task, then created a new SSIS package by adding the file watcher task in the control flow, below are my setting's inside the file watcher task editor: 2. Options Filter - *.* Find Existing Files - True Timeout warning - False 3. Path Path input type: Direct imput Path - \server1Sourcefolder Include subdirectories - False Actually my understanding about this task is: This file watcher task will constantly check for the file and then will execute the SSIS package. If my understanding is correct, then where do we specify the name of the SSIS package?? And also do we need this SSIS package which has the File watcher task to run every 5 minutes or so, so that it can keep checking for the file existence. Please help, thanks!!
In the file watcher task in the filter section does it look for exsiting file name which we have mentioned or is it possible to give first few letters of the file name like pat*.txt
Just curious if there are any tutorials/help files/forums on using this and other Konesans control Flow and data flow task? most import the flow watcher task.
I have a problem in which I want the run an SSIS based on a file being dropped in a directory. I've tried the WMI event watcher as well as the File Task Watcher component. The problem that I'm seeing is that if the process is currently processing in the pipeline while another file dropped, the newly dropped file doesn't get picked up. Is there a way to create a FileWatcher Task in SSIS which will spawn a SSIS job and return immediately for watching files?
My SSIS control flow includes a standard "textbook" WMI Event Watcher Task that monitors a folder for incoming files. Generally it works fine, but now I regularly see the error message:
"Watching for the Wql Query caused the following system exception: "Quota Violation." Check the query for errors or WMI connection for access rights/permissions"
I do not see any indication of trouble in the event logs. The SSIS log simply states that it failed.
Is there any magic about WMI Event Watcher?
When I restart, it runs fine for hours.
SQL05 is 9.0.3054 on W2003 with all microsoft updates applied. It is basically a bare machine with SQL Server, SSIS running and a service that kicks in occasionally.
HI, I need to trigger some packages upon existance of specific files in a particular directory. Sound lkike the file watcher task (from SQLIS) would do the job but I am wondering what is the difference of using this tool instead of a for each loop container. I mean, If a file exists in a directory, the for each loop container will detect it. Since the file watcher is not a service, the package containing it needs to ne scheduled on a regular basis for the filewatcher to detect the file, right? So, a for each loop container would do the job? So, waht wouldbe the advantage of using the file watcher task?
I'm copying files to a folder with the naming convention as follows in the source folder:
CM_ABC_MY_TEST.txt
In the destination folder, this filename needs to appear as:
CM_XYZ_MY_TEST.txt
In my File System Task, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need an expression with a replace, substring, etc. But am having a hard time nailing down the exact syntax.
Does anyone know how to do this using variables? Everytime I try it, I get the
Error: Failed to lock variable for read access with error 0xc00100001.
I also tried it writing a script and still the same error. If I hard code the values into the variables it works fine but I will be running this everday so that it will pull in the current date along with the filename. So the value of the variables will change everyday. Here is my expression:
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 able to run SSIS packages as SQL Server Agent jobs with a Control Flow items "File system task", if I move a file (test.txt) from a drive (c on the server (where SQL Agent jobs run) to a subdirectory on the same drive. But, if I try to move a file on a network drive, the package fail.
Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.
I have used the copy database wizard, but I realized I had forgotten to shrink the transaction log file. So I canceled the wizard. My database, detached by the wizard, has now disappeared. The mdf file is still there, but when I try to attach it manually I get the "create file encountered operating system error 5 while attempting to open the physical file..." error.
I have created a File System task which is contained in a Foreach Loop Container. I have .bak files that are populating a directory from a maintenance backup plan.
There is a point where I need to delete the .bak file's after I've zipped them all up.
How do I set the SourceVariable to read through the directory and pick up just the .bak file's in the directory to delete.
I use the DTS 2000 Migration Wizard to migrate one of the DTS 2000 packages to SSIS. The migration failed with the following error message:

Looking at the call stack, it looks like COM wrapper fails on SaveToXML. Can someone tell me how I should workaround this problem?
I am trying to create and later read a data file from a package deployed in SSISDB, but it is not reading it while it is successfully creating the file. The same package when run from the file system package, runs successfully. Generating ispac and deploying in SSISDB is running for infinite time. Is it a permission issue?
I am facing a problem on a server which has raid 5 solution (3 disks), the raid controller went down 2 of the disks were off in the Bios.
We added the 3 disks to a different server identical in brand and architecture, the raid controller was able to reconfigure the virtual drive H:.

- put the db in emergency mode;
- stop sql service and replace the mdf file;
- start sql service;
- Run Dbcc checkdb('mydb')
we got the error below:

Ok so I have some dynamic sql to delete a file that is created via sql earlier on. It is to provision a copy of a database to an instance on link server. Everything works great and the files used to delete. Now, with no code changes it is throwing a syntax error. I do a print of what the dynamic sql is creating before executing and then I copy / paste what was generated into command prompt and guess what!! The file deletes.
Here is the result on screen:
@DeleteBackupFileStatement: DEL adas16.clients.advance.localwip$AvionteAP_Template_893.bak /Q Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near ''. Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near ''.
Here is the code that creates the statement:
SET @DeleteBackupFileStatement = NULL BEGIN SET @DeleteBackupFileStatement = 'DEL ' + LTRIM(RTRIM(@BackupFile)) + ' /Q' END PRINT '@DeleteBackupFileStatement: ' + cast(@DeleteBackupFileStatement as varchar(400)) BEGIN EXEC adasdb.master.sys.Sp_executesql @DeleteBackupFileStatement END END
The value of @BackupFile is simply the path of the file with the file name, everything in the prepared statement with the exception of DEL and the switch at the end.
I want to move and rename a file and embed the date/time into it, so that each time the package runs a new file is created. For example MyFile_20060712_150000.doc.
Can someone give me a hint how to do this with the File Systen Task SSIS Control Flow Item?
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!
Could someone please instruct me on how to use the File System Task Editor to rename a file? I place control on control flow tab, change the operation to rename, from there I am not sure what to do.
I have a for each file loop and inside it a data flow that pulls from one of the flat files in the directory and then a file system task. If I choose the "Move File" option in the file system task to move the file to the archive directory, it fails with an access denied message. The access denied message occurs after a message saying file was successfully deleted. I am running this from BIDS right now and my local user can write delete etc in both the above directories. However, if I do a "copy file" in the file system task it seems to work. I think what is happening is it is deleting the file first and then trying to move it, but it no longer exists because it has been deleted--is this possible? Is this a bug of some sort?
For now I am going to workaround by putting in another file system task that deletes the files after they were copied and see how that goes, but would prefer just to do the "move" option.
I'm having trouble working this out in SSIS. I am trying to use a File System task to rename a file using an expression so that file.zip will be renamed to filemmyy.zip at the end of every month (for instance this month would be file0506.zip).
I am using the destination expression variable. But I'm not sure what to put for DestinationConnection. It seems to want a file name, but the file name is going to be variable, so I'm not sure what to put.
I am having a problem using the file system task, what I am trying to achieve is to move a file after it has been processed . I am using a For each loop container to process bunch of files but I want to remove the files that have been processed after every loop.To achieve this I added a File System Task after my data flow task and was using the same variable used in the for each loop container as my source variable but the package is not being validated and is gives the following error
"variable used as the source or the destination is empty"
I have a File System Task that uses variables to resolve the destination and source paths of a document. When I select the 'copyfile' operation...the document is copied from the source to the destination without error.
However when I change the property from 'copyfile' to 'movefile' I get an error and the document is not moved.
The source and destination variables contain a valid file path name since the copy commmand is working as expected. However when I alter the properties of the File System task to move the document. I get the following error:
Could not find a part of the path 'G:CommonInformation SystemsDropFilesrtNRT_ConfirmationOrder Confirmation Report_11062006.xlsOrder Confirmation Report_11062006.xls
It seems a little nonsensical since the document file paths are valid when performing a copy. For some reason the error log is showing that that the file path is the document name "Order Confirmation Report_11062006.xls" and adding it twice to the the directory path called "'G:CommonInformation SystemsDropFilesrtNRT_Confirmation" as you can see in the above error message.
To replicate the 'move' action...I added an extra File System Task that deletes the document once the copy has been performed. I would like some insight into why this doesn't seem to work.
It would be a stored procedure that would read the XML attributes into 2 tables, the number of attributes could be 1-N, so I thought XML would be a good choice. Also, one of the attributes could be up to 4000 characters. I think this may limit our options, can 100-150 4000 character strings be passed in a standard call to a query/proc in SQL?
Currently the client application makes round-trip network calls to save upwards of 100 pairs of data. 1 header row, and many detail rows. All within a transaction.
I think If we move an XML file to the SQL box, then do all the import/save work on the "Server" side it would be much better. Cutting the transaction time down a lot by not doing so many round-trips at network speed...
i would like to know how i can retrieve the file path+name of a file detected by the WMI Event Watcher task, so that I can assign this to a variable for an Import task
