I have an execute sql task that uses the following query: (modified for this thread but normally its going to return all records in the table)
Code Snippet
SELECT
'PrimaryID' AS 'Parameter/name',
PrimaryID AS 'Parameter/value',
'LastName' AS 'Parameter/name',
LastName AS 'Parameter/value'
FROM ParkingUpload
WHERE primaryid = '1234' or primaryid = '4321'
FOR XML PATH('T2Method')
The output of this query looks like this: (I know normally this would be a bad xml file, but its needed for my purpose)
Code Snippet
<T2Method>
<Parameter>
<name>PrimaryID</name>
<value>1234</value>
<name>LastName</name>
<value>Abiola</value>
</Parameter>
</T2Method>
<T2Method>
<Parameter>
<name>PrimaryID</name>
<value>4321</value>
<name>LastName</name>
<value>Aboud</value>
</Parameter>
</T2Method>
That xml is stored in a user variable in the Execute SQL Task. I need to take that user variable and send out that xml to a webservice. The web service is expecting one record at a time(a new record is defined by the <T2Method> node.
So question is, does my approach seem fine so far? I was wondering if my next step should be to put this variable in a For Each Container and send out one record at a time to the webservice. If so, how would I go about doing that?
If anyone else has a different suggestion as how to approach this, or be able to help with the For Each portion (I am brand new to SSIS), I would really appreciate it.
If i place a loop container inside a sequence container the connectors within the loop container disappear.... is this a bug - will the loop tasks still run in the correct order?? or will they fire off willy nilly??
i am trying to insert data into a table and roll back if this fails. What i have done is created an Execute SQL task with a SQL statement of BEGIN TRANS .. if the constraint = success then it goes to a Sequence Conatiner that amoungst other thing includes an Execute SQl task that does INSERT statement . outsied of the container i have 2 execute sql tasks that to a COMMIT TRANS ond a ROLLBACK Trans . when executing it i get an error the Rollback Transaction request has no corrasponding Begin tranaction. I have seen this in a SSIS created by one of the Wizards and it works fine, im oviously missing something fundemental .. any pointers ?
Sorry that I open a new thread again but I didn€™t found any good tutorials about foreach loop container. I would like to read every row from one table and do something. I red something about sql task€¦ Can someone give a little instruction, please?
Hi, I'm using data flow as flat file source -> derived column ->Data Conversion-> oledb destination I have a fifty thousand record in a delimited file. while processing i got error in 45000th row. In database only 40000 records are there(why is there no all 45000 records). Is there any way to roll back all the 40000 records.
I using data flow task to import from flat file to database but i need to use Foreach Loop Container to import multiple files in specific folder and all will be insert in the same table
hi people, i have crashed on a this problem. I have a sequence container and on this container I have set "FailPackageOnFailure=true". Now in this container there are 2 tasks. The first one is preceeding the second one. Now both this task have set "FailParentOnFailure=true". Both task are the same and their purpose is to drop table A.
1) I run the package and it fails, because there is no table to drop. 2) I create the table manualy and run package again. 3) I see, that the first task is beeing just SIMPLE OMMITED and the second task runs
In general, everytime any task in a sequence container invokes failure, next time is beeing ommited regardelss of its status. How can this be fixed ? Thanks
What I'm trying to do is take multiple "snapshots" of a membership for many months. I was trying to do this in a For Loop Container in which I added one to the month variable and subtracted one from an iteration variable each loop, unless the month variable = 13...then I would add one to the year variable, set the month variable to 1 and subtract one from the iteration variable. This, I was hoping, would allow me to initialize 24 to the iteration variable, 1 to the month variable and 2004 to the year variable, kick off the package, and get 2 years worth of "snapshots" in seperate files (one for each month). Here is the AssignExpression I thought would work:
The package states that the single "=" should be double, but I don't think that that is what I want to do (I tried doing this just to check, and it didn't like this either). I think that it is having problems with doing multiple things on both sides of the ":". What am I doing wrong?
I have a RAID 10 container consisting of 4 146GB, SAS, 3.5-inch 15K RPM Hard Drives.
We have the OS on its own RAID so we are strictly dealing with setting up SQL Server 2005 on the RAID 10.
SO ... is it better to create seperate volumes for the Data, TLog and TempDB file placements (i,e, C:, F: and G or is it alright to create just plain-jane folders for the file placements?
Has anyone investigated extending any of the SSIS Container classes?
I have been looking into it because we'd like to add a set of standard logging calls on events, standard startup procedures, etc. on any package that we execute.
I've been looking into the Sequence Container, For-Each, etc. They are all sealed classes. I'm not sure why MS has sealed them.
We're currently thinking of implementing our own version of the Sequence Container -- we'd really like to be able to extend the functionality of a standard container class, but we don't want to have to implement the actual container class itself.
Is there a way to set a variable as a substring of the enumerator in a Foreach File Enumerator type? The Variable Mappings tab in the Foreach Loop Editor does not allow you to enter an expression.
I was wondering about a silly thing but, anyway, which is the maximum number of grouping for a container? I mean, when you group from, i.e, a sql task and then over that group do again another one and so on...
We have a config table which has columns like pollingfolder, cop to folder etc. Data looks like this Config id polling folder 1 d:dataloadacn 2 d:dataloadship under ACN and Ship folders we can have more than 1 source files which had to be loaded into target the load process has to be repeated for each file in all the folders like ACN and ship I have used for each loop container to poll the folder. Can we set the directory to be polled at runtime taking from config table. For doing this I have used the property Directory in expression editor of for each loop. But it is not working. If I hard code the variable value in variables section , then its working. How to change the directory to be polled value at runtime?
I am using For each loop container in my SSIS package which will loop through more than one input file in the input folder. All the input files in the input folder are picked by one by one. All the input files in the input folder are executed with the same ExecutionInstanceGUID.
Now, my requirement is to get a new ExecutionInstanceGUID during the execution of each input file in the For each loop container. My package only contains the For each loop container with some logic inside that.
Please let me know if any one can help me for the same.
I am trying to do the following and am quite new to SSIS.
I have to select a dataset from a database on server A, check if it exists on server B and perform an Update or Insert dependant on the existence.
I have created a SQL task to do the Select from server A with the results set passed to a variable of Vendors. I have added a ForEach Loop container with an enumerator of Foreach ADO Enumerator and the source variable is set to Vendors.
I have created 2 variables in the Foreach Loop called Code and Supplier - both as strings - as there are 2 fields from the initial Select that need to be passed to the final Update/ Insert.
I have then created another SQL task insert the Foreach which will perform the Update/Insert.
obviously when I run it at the moment it performs the Update/ Insert but just adds the rows with both Code and Supplier as NULL.
having looked at a couple of examples in books I have i know i need to add something in the Expressions of the Update/Insert SQL task but it is here i get a bit lost.
Which of the properties from the drop down do i need to use to map the variables against?
Any help would be massively appreciated asI am tearing my hair out!
A very strange thing happened to me. I have a package that includes two For each loop containers. Each container has script tasks, sequence containers, etc. Both are Foreach ADO Enumerator basis. It works without any problems until I changed the position of one of them in the Control flow and added some code in the script task. After these changes I executed the package and both of For each loop containers did not execute the tasks inside of them, any task. However the execution color on the containers was green (success). How can it be?
Can anyone point me to an example of using a ForEach Loop Container to step through the rows in a recordset. I cannot seem to see how this is done from the help files.
I am trying to build a package running a container that includes several tasks: 2 Execute SQL tasks and a data flow task. I would like to execute this container in a single transaction, which means that if any of the tasks fail, no changes are been made by the container execution. To achieve this, I have followed the instructions of how to configure the DTC on the server and locally, and set the container's TransactionOption Property to "Required".
The problem I encounters is that when using a dataflow task in the container, the running process runs OK until it reaches the dataflow task, then it just gets stuck (marking the task in yellow). When removing the dataflow task, left with only Execute SQL tasks everything works fine. Any idea?
I have a situation where I need to make sure a task executes regardless of whether the package starts from a checkpoint or not. Is this possible?
Here's the scenario:
I have a package with 3 tasks {TaskA, TaskB, TaskC} that execute serially using OnSuccess precedence constraints. The package is setup to use checkpoints so that if a task fails the package will restart from that failed task TaskA is insignificant here. TaskB fetches some data and puts it in a raw file TaskC inserts that raw file data into a table.
Problem is that the insertion violates an integrity constraint in the database - so it fails. The problem is easily fixed but it needs to be fixed in TaskB because that is where the data is sourced.
So, I need to be able to execute TaskB again, even though it was TaskC that failed. Currently the package restarts from TaskC which reuses the raw file (which has the bad data in it) so the package continues to fail even though the cause of the problem has been fixed.
How do I configure the package in order to execute TaskB again? Is it even possible?
Currently the ForEach Loop container is set to loop over the entire collection of records in my table, but I only need to loop thru the records where the status = x. How is that possible? Can I use expressions to set the enumerator to do something like this. Basiclly the collection values are used for further processing, and I would like to avoid looping thru records which have been processed already, which means they already have a status set to y. Please let me know. Thanks.
I am trying to move files from one directory to anonther using the For Each Loop Container and a File System Task. However, on the FIRST iteration of the ForEach Loop the variable that I am setting to the 0 index of the For Each Loop is returning me a valid directory with no file ( path only ) from who knows where ????
On the second iteration of the For Each Loop everything works as expected and I get the full path and file name and it iterates through all the files in the directory o.k.
So I have had to put a Hack to skip the fist iteration of the loop and then execute the File Task on the second iteration but I dont see anyone else doing this.
Where in the heck is it getting this odd directory from on the fist iteration ( its not my User varible because I am initializing it to \nowhereofile ). What am I doing wrong?
I've created a Send Mail task which works properly and now I'd like to send that email n times.
How do I such thing. I moved that task inside Foreach loop container and then I choosen "Foreach From Variable Enumerator" and then I've created a Int32 variable.
And now, I don't know how to tell that increments that variable
Hi. I am running a package using 'execute package' inside a for each loop file iteration. I have to iterate through some 10,000s of files to ETL source data, a resonably complex package. I want to set going and get some sleep but every 200 files or so I get a memory exhausted error and the task fails. Is there a short easy fix to refresh memory each iteration. If so please let me know. Just ignoring the failure at task level won't refresh the memory, will it?
I am attempting to open up my ssis integration project but when I try to open up packages it says @ the bottom "Validating Sequence Container" and it just stays there. I cannot click on anything and nothing is responsive. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I attempted to move some tasks into a new sequence container. It failed saying element cannot be found in a collection. Now I find that visually the tasks do not appear in the container. But in some ways they are. I can not try to move the tasks to the container, or I get the same "element can not be found". If I execute the container, the tasks outside the container run.
I thought to CUT and PASTE my tasks, but then it says "The package contains one or more event handlers for this task. Deleting the task will also delete the event handlers and the event handler context."
My Foreach Loop container has 10 different task inside. I want to execute the first task only one time. I have a variable with increases for each repition. How can I put precedence contstraint on the first task so that it should execute only first time and other task has to execute all the time.
i have a for-loop-conatiner with two sql-tasks inside. i'm unable to add a precendence between this two tasks inside the container. what's wrong? i want first execute one task in the container, then the other. so, i guess, i have to link the two tasks. but it's not possible.
Simply trying to move a group of files from one folder to another folder and renaming the files with the monthyear in the middle of the filename..
I'm using a FOR Loop container and works find. The added complexity is I'm trying to rename the files the same tine and putting the Month Year into the file name.
I guess the struggle is how to get the file name out so I can manipulate it.
I tried creating variable(V_SOURCE) which stores the file path and create another variable(V_FILENAME) to hold the filename. I believe on the expression page of the FOR LOOP editor if I select the the file name and extension radio button, it should put the file name in the V_FILENAME variable.
In my file task trying to join the two variables together in another variable, keep saying my path is wrong with the file task kicks off.
