In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this: 1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found; 2. If file(s) found, then compare it/them with existing files in our archive folder; if file(s) already exist in archive folder, stop executing and send email saying file(s) already existed, if file(s) not in archive folder yet, then transfer it/them to the local directory for processing.
I know i have to use a script task to do this and i did some research and found examples for each of the above 2 steps and not both combined, so that's why I need some help here to get the logic incorporated right.
Thanks for the help in advance and i apologize for the long lines of code!

I'm tring to copy files from FTP address, the problem is that sometimes the FTP folder is empty, and then the FTP Task is failed. Why is it failed if there are no files? Any suggestion how to avoid the error?
I am developing application with SQLCE2.0, NETCF1.0,Sp1,VS2003.
I found there is some files are created under "Temp" folder by the system with size "0B".
Why/when these file are created? Do I need to clean it periodicly? If not, will this cause exception like "Not enough storage is available to complete this operation"?
1) I read that the path can be changed without any problem, in the same server we have a D drive with 40GB of space, so I am planning to change the path to: D:RSTempFiles. Any experience on changing that path?
2) If the change of path is successfull, how I can delete the files on the RSTempFiles on the C: drive. Can I directly delete the files? Ther just previous snapshots or I will lose something? Any experience with this will be great.
I have installed SSAS on a 64 bit machine and am trying to connect to Oracle but having little success. Some of the solutions I've read indicate to uninstall SSAS and then reinstall, making sure that the reinstall does not use the Program Files (x86) folder since Oracle has a problem with the parentheses. Here's my question... How do you NOT install in the Program Files (x86) folder. It seems SQL Server always wants to put a small part in there. Thanks in advance and sorry if this is a dumb question.
I'm wondering if its possible to return the number of files in a folder suing something like DIR command.I'm wanting to do something like, If count(DIR) >0 then do something
I have a challenge i am trying to overcome, hopefully soneone would have come across this issue before..
I am creating a DTS package that will be scheduled to run at a certain time everyday. A source folder exists that get a set of new files everyday.The DTS Package will then read each file and copy the data into a load table in my database the challenge is this:
I am trying to load files from a source folder into my load table, Within each file, the entires are in a specific format using pipes to seperate the data that goes into which column e.g
example of a file entry:
column1 | column2 | column3
data1 | data2 | data3
data1 | data2 | data3
data1 | data2 | data3
And now i am using DTS to specify the file format and map the cloumns as apprporiate to my table...all this is well and good, but my problem is each file has a different name as well as being timestamped, now how do i use DTS to specify the source folder, open each file sequentially and read (or more appropriate, copy the entries into my table, inserting new data from each file into my load table as well as overwriting old data in the load table from the files in the folder ?) is there a way in specifying your source folder in DTS rather than specifying the file in the Menu options (in the transformation data task properties )given, and or do i need to write a script for this(reading the file?)
can someone please give me a solution and how to approach this?
Hi, I am wondering how can we return each file in a folder ? I am trying to get each file in a folder to perform other job. Below is the description ... while folder is not empty foreach file run the job end for end while
SET nocount ON DECLARE @fileNameNew VARCHAR(1024) -- filename of new error report DECLARE @fileNameOld VARCHAR(1024) -- filename of old error report DECLARE @out_fileDate CHAR(1024) DECLARE @fileDate DATETIME -- used for file name
We noticed SQL Server 2005 is creating Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedDW on our largest drive for each 64-bit installation. Does anyone know what this is? It appears there is no Microsoft documentation regarding this installation and if we need to keep it. It may be .NET related, but I have no idea why it is needed.
I am looking for a way to truncate raw files without losing the metadata. The metadata of the raw file should be automatically detected at run-time. The result will be a raw file with the same metadata as the original file, but no data in it.
There are two reasons I would like such a tool. First, I want to erase the potentially sensitive data stored in the raw files. Second, I want to keep Validation enabled so that development is simpler.
Using the below script task I am checking for the excel file existence and upon file existence using the data flow task will load the excel data into sql table. After the data is loaded from one file or however number of excel files present, I want to move those into a archieve folder with datetimestamp to the filenames,please let me know how I can move those files with datetimestamp to the filenames, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I have a folder which contains all the flat files which are used by all the packages(ex--flat file connection managers) in my project. If we want to change the name of the folder,have to change in every package( in all connection managers) manually.It looks hardcoding and timetaking.
Is there any way to change in one place(xml,file,variable) so that it should be affected in all the packages.
one more doubt is..
If we configure the flat file connection manager in package configurations,configuration file (ex-xml)will be created (we can make changes in that file regarding that connecion mgr only.)
But i want one configuration file (ex--xml) so that i should configure the details of all the connection managers used in all packages.

I have a small project to be done in which I need to fetch the pdf file from a my system and save it in database and also fetch the name of it and save it in the database.
I wrote the below script to print all folders and files located in the share path. How to extend my script to mention by adding another column whether the file is a folder/file , sort of 0 or 1.
I'm using the FTP Task in SSIS to send files. They task succeeds but the files get uploaded to the wrong folder. Instead of being sent to the cg268301 folder they are being sent to the cg268300 despite selecting /cg268301 from the remote path field in the FTP task editor.
I've tried uploading this file to the /cg268301 file using an execute process task and it works fine. I just don't know why it won't work with the FTP task.
I have Developed ETL Package Which Supplying the CSV File, if I run the package Next time if Same File name is there I need to Rename the that File with Currentdatetime need to move in to Archive Folder. if that File is not exist in that location no need to move the file into Archive file.
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.
