Foreach File
Aug 3, 2007
I loop through a list of files in a directory and one of the tasks in the container is to validate the xml file against dtd if this succeeds i process the file and the lforeachloop gets the next file. If validation fails i then delete that file,the problem i am having is that whe the xml task fails it stops the whole for each container even though the failparentonfailure is set to false.
How can i get the foreach container to continue to the next file after the xmltask fails (validation) and the file is succesfully deleted?
PS is their away of posting the DTSx screenshot as this might explain it better?

How do you sort files from the Foreach loop container?
I love this component, except I can't get it to sort by filename.
Nice to know how to sort by timestamps also.

Hi,
I have no "Foreach File Enumerator" oprtion in the Enumerator Property of the Foreach Loop Component.
I have this enumerator in the c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSForEachEnumerators folder.
Also I check it in the GAC - it does not here. I try to execute gacutil.exe -iF ForEachFileEnumerator.dll, but it is failed with "Failure adding assembly to the cache: The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest." Seems it is not managed enumerator.
Please help me.
Also information on how to regeister unmanaged enumerators are welcome!

Ever since installing SQL Server 2005 SP1, when using the Foreach Loop
container in SSIS the Foreach File Enumerator and Foreach Item Enumerator are
missing from the Enumerator drop down box. Anyone else seen this issue? and
know how to fix it?
thanks

Hi,
I'm struck with a small issue.. would be great if somebody can help me out. Here is te scenario
1. There would be more than one CSV files in INPUT folder.
2. I'm using a Foreach Loop file enumerator to loop thru the files and load the data into database.
3. If loading is successful the file need to be moved to ARCHIVE folder and next file needs to be picked up for loading
4. In case if there is an error in loading the file has to be moved into ERROR folder, Error description should be logged to error log text file and next file needs to be picked up for loading.
I don't think increasing max error count is an option as I don't know how many no. of input files are available as it depends upon the feed.
What is the best way to go.

Hello
I'm using the ForEach File task and masking the files I want to process as ABC??.TXT.
It all works well until I drop a file there like ABC12 Copy.TXT, which I don't expect to be process, but the loop still picks it up. Am I using the wrong wildcards?

I set up a basic ForEach enumerator loop and specified files of type *.sql.
In the directory, I had some files I needed to keep but didn't want the package to touch, so I changed the extension to *.sqlo. Much to my dismay, the ForEach loop picked up those files. (Though it did skip the *.xml and *.bat and a few other types...)
Sounds like a bug to me.

Hi Guys,
I'm importing logs from multiple servers from CSV format into a table. Inside the loop the 1st thing I do is insert the FileName into a table to ensure that I never process the same file twice.
The problem is that multiple servers produce the same filename, so if server A produces Log20061110.csv - when I import the log from server B ( also called Log20061110.csv ) into the table, it of course runs into a problem.
If there was some way for me to get an MD5 Hash of the file as a variable that would be solve my problem.
Does anyone know how I could accomplish that?
Thanks

Hello
I have a question
How is foreach loop container - foreach ADO enumerator performace in SSIS package compares to use of cursors in stored procedures
Is there any articles comparing them
I understand a lot of factors can affect the performance, however what is expected performance for the foreach ADO enumerator loop for large dataset. What is Microsoft recommendation for that - recommended - not recommended (using large datasets - over million records)
Thank you

Hello,
I want to set up a Foreach loop container to loop through several flat files. I have a connection manager set up for individual flat files. The metadata for the files is all the same. They are fixed width files, and contain sixty five columns.
I didn't see a place in the container properties to configure the metadata of the files. How can a Foreach Loop Container 'know' the metadata of the flat files that I want to loop through?
Thank you for your help!

I have a Foreeach loop container that is looking for all the files in a specified directory. For each file in the directory I need to open the file, extract the contents, and pass the contents as a variable for a stored procedure call.
I was able to loop thru the files in the directory and see each file and store the name to a variable.
I was able to use an XML task to open one file via a file connection that connects to a specified file and store the contents in a variable and then execute the SQL task using the variable.
What I am unable to figure out is how to put the two processes together and get the XML task to open the file by using the variable that contains the filename. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!

OK, a new package, with a Foreach container enumerating CSV files in a directory.
I create the container pointing it at the directory and retrieving the fully qualified name, and create a variable (called 'CSVFiles') with a package scope, but no value.
Inside the container is a bulk insert task. The destination db/table is set, and the input flat file connection manager for the CSV files is defined with the connection string set to the variable created above.
As it iterates through the files, the variable is correctly set to the next file in the directory (I put a message box in the stream to display the file name/variable). It resembles 'C: empLocation1.csv'.
But when it gets to the bulk insert, I get this error message:
[Bulk Insert Task] Error: The specified connection "CSVFiles" is either not valid, or points to an invalid object. To continue, specify a valid connection.
What's going on here? Can I not use a bulk insert task in the container? Or some other parameter needs to be set?

I have a ForEach file enumerator that executes a data flow for every source file in a specified directory. If there are no files in the directory, the package executes with a result code of 0.
I need the package to fail if there aren't any files found in the specified load directory. Is there a simple way to do this with the SSIS component, or will I have to script the entire file enumeration process inside script tasks to handle this requirement?
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this question. Please post replies to this forum.

I'm working through the SSIS tutorial, and am on lesson 2.
This says
"Double-click Foreach File in Folder to reopen the Foreach Loop Editor.
Click Collection.
On the Collection page, select Foreach File Enumerator."
The drop down only contains
foreach ado enumerator
foreach ado.net schema_rowset.enumerator
foreach from variable.enumerator
foreach nodelist.enumerator
foreach smo.enumerator
How do I get the "foreach file in folder" to appear in the drop down list?

Hi,
I want to do the following with a ssis package:
INPUT:
A table contains 2 columns with data i need. column A=Filename and column B=FileContent
PROCESS:
I need to loop through ea record in the table and retrieve columns A and B. Then for ea column i need to write the Content hold in column B into File hold in column A.
I so far found out, that i need a Execute SQL Task in Control Flow querying the table and get columns A and B into 2 variables, plus a 3rd var holding the object. Then the output goes into a Foreach Loop Container. From this point i don't know how to continue. I tried to put a Data Flow Task inside the Foreach Loop, but couldn't find out how i now get the 2 variables to the Data Flow Task and use them to for the file to be written and the content to be placed in the file.
Is there any example similiar to that so i could learn how to start on that?
Thanks
Danny

Can't an SSIS package run "in the background", so to speak, without having either the cmd.exe or dtexecui windows open while executing? I'd obviously rather not have to have a window open when the thing is running right?

Hi,
I€™m not sure whether a €śForeach€? capability is achievable in SQL; I€™ve examined joins, unions and subqueries but can€™t come up with a solution.
Scenario is 3 related tables: Location, Room, Booking (date and guest name) and what I wish to do is produce a data grid that shows every for each Location and for each room the status on a given day as follows:
Location Room Date Guest
Main 1 1/1/06 Jones
Main 2 1/1/06 Smith
Main 3 null null
Annex 1 1/1/06 Bloggs
House 1 null null
In psuedo-code what I want to do is
For a given date
Show each location
for each location show each room
for each room show guest (if present) else show null.
I can generate Location and Room OK using LEFT OUTER JOIN but when I introduce the date check it all goes pear shaped in that (obviously) the grid is not populated with nulls in place of the non-existent booking records!

Hi I have created a ForEach loop based on a custom collection of 1 column containing string values (a list of table names).
I want to loop thru this and save the row value (Table Name) into a user variable that will then be used to lookup the table name from within my data task, which is inside the loop.
anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Found my solution.
The Variable mappings section allows you to define a variable that will hold the contents of the iterator. This will be a user defined variable.

Hello,
I am new to SSIS. I need to create a SSIS package that can loop through the databases and create a flat file of each table in the database specified.
Is it possible with Foreach to loop through databases and tables? How should I proceed with this?
I would probably need step by step procedure because I am new.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Hi:
Would like to do a file System task and a data flow for each row in a table.
I use a ForEach container with ADO enumerator set to a rowset variable. The rowset contains all rows from a single table. What I want to do is as in pseudo-code below:
for each row in ADO rowset
varDestination=CurrentRow.col_file_name.value
FileSystemTask.Destination=VarDestination
FilesystemTask.Copy(Source to Destination)(copy excel file from fixed folder to multiple variable folders)
DataFlowtask.Destination=varDestination(Write data to an excel destination
Next
My problem is that I dont know how to access the values of fileds from my current row in the rowset. Request help and pointers to samples.
TIA

Hi All
I'm sure this is a simple thing to do, but I'm new to SSIS and trying to catch up fast.
I want to execute a query on the database which will give me a path and a filespec, say:
c:apps estapp1
and
fred*.csv
No problems here.
I then want to feed them into a ForEach loop and interate through all the files matching the filespec at that location. I can't figure this out at all.
Thanks for you help in advance.

Hello everybody.
I'm having a problem:
As the result of Dataflow task I get a recordset with about 50 columns in it. Now I need to loop through each row in the dataset and make some manipulations with the data in all 50 columns in a single script task. So I need 'em as separate variables.
Ofcourse I can make a For Each Loop container with ADO enumerator, and map each column to specific variable. But that's not a very good thing, because if the format changes, i will have to remap everything again (takes a lot of time to remap 50 values)
So is it possible:
1. To map using not index of columns, but there names?
2. To pass actual row into the script task?

I need to simulate cursor-type (groan) behavior in a dataset and am wondering if this is possible in the foreach task. Example - The user has the need to go through the data row-by-row, and if a certain value is missing in row 10 then go back to row 8, grab a value from that row, and plug it in the missing column in row 10. Then move on to row 11.
Is there a way to make the foreach ADO enumerator travel backwards? Is there a way to do this that will not be awfully inefficient? Any suggestions out there would be welcome.
I've advocated for set-based updates, and these simply aren't an option, as each successive row depends on the updates that may have happened above it in the sequence. Unless I hear of any other ideas out there I have to move forward with this sequential type operation.

I need to execute about dozen packages from another package... how do I dynamically pass the dozen package names to the package and execute using foreach loop...?
idea is to store the names of packages in a text file and set the file connection property reading each package names from the text file... in this way I can just configure/edit the text file from time to time, the packages and the units that I want to execute...
Someone please provide me steps to make it work.
Thanks in adv.

I have two tables, [Property] and [Booking]. What I need to do is select every ID in [Property], then move to [Booking] and select every booking which matches [Property].[ID]. I've been trying for hours but I just can't get it to work. This is what I have so far:
Code SnippetSELECT Property.[Property ID], Booking.[Visit Commencement Date]
FROM Property, Booking
WHERE Property.[Property ID] =
(SELECT DISTINCT Property.[Property ID] FROM Property);
But I can't work out how to select every row. I'm using MS Access 2007 to run the query.
