Hi,
newbie to sql2005. I am trying to write a VB.NET program to list all ssis packages we have stored in a file folder (not in MSDB) where both SqlServer and ssis servers are located. These packages currently running on daily basis by automated jobs with no problem.
I have found the following link on the web that includes VB.Net program. If you scroll down under Example (SSIS Package Store) , you'll see a VB.NET program that I am trying to get it to work for me but keep getting error message like "Cannot find folder......"
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms403343.aspx
My goal is to:
1. List all ssis packages stored in the file systems (.dstx)
2. List DB source and distination providers(tables in/out) in a ssis package
3. List properties for DB providers
4. List FlatFile & Excel file provider properties in a ssis package.
My assumption, but not sure, is that I may need to register this file folder (where packages are located) to the SqlServer if that is not done already. Any command or sys table in Sql2005 to figure this out?
I would appreciate any help on this in advance.
Thank You.
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 all,
I have built a Disaster Recovery Site for my DB.on periodic basis, trn files from production server reach DR server and DR setup will apply them locally.
If the flow is smooth then no issues, if one of the file does not reach DR
the entire setup will halt for the want of the file and I dn't have any means to
know which file is missing.
Both my production and DR site located remotely behind firewalls, i.e i can't
physically access the servers or remotely login to the server.
Can anyone tell me how to see the contents in a folder in the server using
SQL query .
Any help is highly appreciated
Thanks and Regards

I am having problem with moving a file from one folder to another folder. Here is the detailed scenario:
I want to move a input.csv file from shared input folder to shared archive folder. i am using the below code to do this.
declare @inpath varchar(100)
SET @inpath = 'move "\abcdefINPUTinput*.csv" "\abcdefARCHIVEarchive.csv"'
EXEC @filestatus = master..xp_cmdshell @inpath
but the problem was it was cutting the input.csv file from INPUT folder but not pasting it in the ARCHIVE folder.
I really appreciate if anyone can help me to solve this or anyone can tell some workarounds.
Thanks,

Hi All,
The web site I'm working on will allow admin users to create a new database for each new client. I'm hoping to be able to keep all of the databases in the local App_Data folder, but I'm finding that I can't even find a way of generating a list of the databases in the App_Data folder.
The code I have is:Dim serverConn As New ServerConnection(".SQLEXPRESS")
serverConn.LoginSecure = True
serverConn.ConnectTimeout = 30
serverConn.Connect()
Dim sqlServer As Server = New Server(serverConn)
For Each db As Database In sqlServer.Databases
ListView1.Items.Add(db.Name)
NextThis does populate a list of databases, but not the ones in the App_Data folder - just those attached directly to the server.Any help on this will be greatly appreciated as it's starting to drive me nuts!Thanks,Paul

View 0 Replies View RelatedI am new to SSIS and I am trying to do following thing using WMI Reader Task.
I have developed SSIS package which import data from flat files.
Now I have to add following functionality to SSIS package
Before SSIS package load data I would like to check If there are all files in source folder and check the files are with current date.
If both condition true then only load data.
After some research i found that WMI uses specialized query language known as WQL, which is similar to SQL, to obtain information on files and directories.
Also i found that Under WMI Reader Task editor properties you can write WQL query to receive file information from source folder.
Can Anyone suggest me What WQL query i have to write to retrive file information from Source folder?
Or
Any Other suggesion i should approach?
Please advise me!...Any help would really appriciated...

I have a data flow task inside a foreach loop container which will take multiple excel files and load into a sql table. Once all the excel files are loaded into the table, then at the end one of the column gets updated using execute sql task. Now I am trying to check for a file existence, if the file is not present in the folder then the data flow task should not be executed. Any help is greatly appreciated, I am thinking of using file system task for this, but not exactly sure. Thanks in advance.

I need to add an existing shared folder to a SQL FileTable. So this is the path and I created a SQL Filetable and now I need to add it to the filetable.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue where a folder that I'm accessing in an SSIS package gets locked up and cannot be deleted by my package later in the process.
1) I use a File System task to rename the folder. At this point, it appears to become locked and cannot be deleted.
2) Later I attempt to delete the folder using another File System task object. I get the error '[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."'.
My package accesses the folder via a drive mapping. This seems to be part of the problem, as it's possible to delete the folder directly but not via the drive mapping. Even once the package completes it's still not possible to delete the folder in Windows Explorer via the drive mapping.
Has anyone written a RSS file that is used to add new Active Directory User/Group to SSRS, and applying security ROLES such as BROWSER?

Would you be willing to share the RSS file?
Usual way to check if file exists
DECLARE @File_Exists INT
EXEC Master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'serverBSQL_Backupfile.bak', @File_Exists OUT
print @File_Exists
1
And if check folder, can use "nul", but it doesn't work for UNC path
DECLARE @File_Exists INT
EXEC Master.dbo.xp_fileexist 'serverBSQL_Backup
ul', @File_Exists OUT
print @File_Exists
0
If use xp_subdirs like:
EXEC master.dbo.xp_subdirs 'serverBSQL_Backups'
If the folder doesn't exists,
Msg 22006, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
xp_subdirs could not access 'ServerBSQL_Backups*.*': FindFirstFile() returned error 67, 'The network name cannot be found.'
How to check if UNC folder exists in Backup? in my code I want to check if the unc folder exists before doing backup, the unc path is retrieved from other table or backup history.
the idea is to put together a folder that is in some place in the computer, like "c:excel_fles" and the database full backup in a single .bak file, the database can be recovered with sql server management studio(but no the folder), the restoration of the program can be done with a program, I think it can be done with msdb, but I'm a little lost in the road.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
On x64 versions of Windows server 2003, there is a folder called "Program Files (x86)". The use of parenthesis in this name has caused a few issues so far, particularly with connecting SQL Server 2005 to Oracle using SSIS. After several hours of searching I realized that the parenthesis was causing it, and eventually I found that the best way is to avoid creating such a name while installing the OS itself, by using winnt.sif. This would be better than renaming it and changing registry entries after the installation is done.
I realize this may not be the best question to ask of Microsoft, but why not just call it "Program Filesx86" by default so no special procedure has to be done to get around these issues? The use of parenthesis is likely to cause even more compatibility issues with other software later?
BTW I use Microsoft products regularly and love most of them
I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message
"cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again."
After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message.
So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.
I know a WMI event watcher can be used to watch for a new file being added to a folder. However, I need to check for new folders being added to an existing folder. I haven't been able to find a post on doing this. Is there a way in WQL to check for a new folder being added instead of a new file? I've used SQL for years, but am new to SSIS.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi again all,
Is there a way to read a file name automatically from a network folder? I can successfully bulk insert from this particular folder. The next step is as I add files, I wish to bulk insert the latest file added so the program must make that determination and import that specific file. I can delete the older files if necessary and save them elsewhere but it would still be nice to be able to read the file name. I then wish to store the name of this file, whatever it is, into a field called "SourceFileName" in my table that I am bulk inserting into. Does anyone have an example in dynamic SQL? Thanks.

I have a requirement to create a package that takes all files in a given folder and adds them to a single archive (.zip) file. I've tried several methods using 7zip and while I can create archives for every file in the directory I can't seem to get them into a single .zip file.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to get the record counts for all the flat files in a folder. All the flat files are having different format.
Can I get the record count using a single data flow task and for each loop container?
I have 2 source folder .I have created variable for both source folder like below
User::Source1 and User::Source2
and 1 destination folder variable like below
User::Destination
Now I have to search a file from both source folder which consist of *location_*.xml string in file name.I have to use C# Script task ,achieve above scenario as I required it on very urgent basis.
Hello, I wanted to do the following.
Copy a full directory from source to destination (Done)
then for each file on the destination directory,it must process that file and insert rows on the table.
So I created a foreach loop, and created a varriable aclled CURRENTFILENAME, and assigned it into the foreachloop to index 0.
Inside the foreachloop I created a dataflow task, in the dataflow task I dragged a flat file source and an oledb destination, but I noticed that the flat file source requires flat file manager, and the flat file manager requires a unique FILE NAME. I cant put this c:copia*.txt.
I took a loot at flat file source properties and it has associated the flat file manager, but I can not assign the filename to the variable from the foreach.
Any ideas please
Ok,
I have a network folder called A
I have a SharePoint (2007) Document Library site called B. Web Client is enabled on the server and B is mapped as a Drive (let's call it Y for this discussion)
I want to move documents in A to B. Easy enough, right? Not so....
I first started by creating a batch file that issues a COPY \A \Y /Y at the command prompt. Viola! Worked Great!
I then moved that command to a SQL Agent job as a CMDExec statement (exact same statement) and attempted to run it.....CRASH! It found the files in A but then said "The system cannot find the path specified"
Ok, so I tried it in SSIS. CRASH! Checked the error log. Same thing...
So I then checked the account under which the SQl Agent was running (special domain account for all our SQL Servers). Thinking it might mater I changed it to run under my name (I'm in Domain admin). I also ensured I had permissions to the SPS 2007 library as well. (I did).
Ran again! CRASH! Same error....
So, I created a batch file , placed thec ommand in the batch file and ran that from the command prompt! Viola! Worked Great.
So, I was thinking of how ingenious I was as I pasted my C:RootCopy.bat into my SQL Agent job. With a big grin on my face I right clicked and picked "Start Job at step".......CRASH! Same error.
Does anyone have any ideas on this ???????????????
Thanks,
Stephen
