Dts Package Foreach Loop Container And Excel Connection Manager

Sep 28, 2006

How can I use a foreach loop container with an Excel connection manager. It is virtually impossible to configure the ConectionString property through expressions builder. Everything works fine with a Flat File connection manager but when it comes to Excel, I get the following error message: Error 1 Validation error. Extract Four: Extract Four [1]: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. Tarification.dtsx 0 0

Please ! Heeeelp ! tel me how I can loop through Excel files !

Receiving Errors When Using Foreach Loop And Excel Connection Manager...

May 25, 2007

Purpose: Need to import excel source data into SQL Server 2005 tables. Excel source data comes in nulitple excel files with the same structure but different data. I would appreciate someone taking a look at the following information and notifying me of what I am doing incorrectly.

I Inserted a foreach loop container, a data flow task located inside the foreach loop contaiiner, an excel and SQL Server 2005 connections.

After trying multiple times I went the following URL and followed step by step direction on how to connect excel workbooks dynamically: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345182.aspx . I also used http://www.sqlstrings.com/ as a reference when creating the connection string.

Creating a Foreach Loop Container:

1. Opened foreach loop container 2.Set the Enumerator to 'Foreach File Enumerator" and configured the enumerator by setting the directory location and file base name to E:ClientsDep CommBEABEA_Test_Source and *PersonnelExpense*.xls respectively. 3. Clicked Variable Mapping; created two variables called, "ExcelFile", and "ExtProperties" and closed out of the foreach loop container.

I. Created Excel Connection:

Created excel connection called, ��Dynamic Excel Connection Manager,�? that initially pointed to one of the excel workbooks.
Went to the connection properties by right clicking the connection manager.
Expanded Expressions and clicked the ellipsis button to bring up property expressions
Chose Connection String in the Property.
Clicked the Expression Ellipsis button.
Put the following inside the Expression multi line text box:
A. "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + @[User::ExcelFile] + ";Extended Properties="" + @[User::ExtProperties] + """

Clicked the Evaluate Expression button to get the following:

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=;Extended Properties=""
Clicked Ok button
Inserted a Data flow task inside the foreach loop container.

II. Configured Tasks that is associated with Dynamic Excel Connection Manager or Package:

Set the Foreach loop container Delay Validation to true.
Set the Data Flow Task Container Delay Validation to true.
Set the Dynamic Excel Connection Manager Delay Validation to true.
Set the SQL Server Connection Manager Delay Validation to true.
Set the Package Delay Validation to true.
Package Locale ID set to English

Ran the package after connecting the excel source data flow to the OLEDB destination and have inserted part of the error in this post. Please see below.

Error: 0xC0202009 at Package, Connection manager "Dynamic Excel Connection Manager": An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Could not find installable ISAM.".

I modified the connection string after receiving the error by removing the extended properties. The following is the modified connection string: "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + @[User::ExcelFile]

I repeated step I.6 above and received the following expression: Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=

I ran the package and received the following error in part: OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft JET Database Engine" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Unrecognized database format 'E:ClientsDep CommBEABEA_Test_SourcePersonnelExpense_OCCs_051007.xls'."

I did not find anything helpful when I searched for the above errors and would very much appreciate anyone��s assistance on this issue as this issue needs to be taken care of ASAP.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why I received this error and what can I do to resolve this issue?

Your assistance in this matter is truly appreicated!
Thanks!!

ForEach Loop With Excel

May 3, 2007

Hi,

I'm attempting to use the Foreach loop container to loop through the excel files located on a shared network folder. I've set up the Excel file connection manager to include the user variable generated from the container, but I get the below error messages when applying that variable to the connection string in the data flow. I've tried everything but I can't seem to get SSIS to recognize the path of the Excel files. I've tried copying the files to my PC, I tried running the package on the server, etc. The connection works fine if I set it up to point to any of the excel files in the network directory, but not with the Foreach loop connection name.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I've looked everywhere and tried everything but to no avail...

Thanks,

Kevin

Foreach Loop Over Excel Files Seems 'fragile'

May 24, 2007

All,

I have a package that loops over ~60 Excel files in a directory. Each
file has three named ranges in it, which I import into different
tables. Sometimes the package runs without a hitch, sometimes it
chokes. But it is intermittent.

If I pull the control flow components out of the foreach loop and
point the Excel connection manager to the specific Excel file that has
caused the package to choke, I get a message in the dataflow component
pointing to the named range that "the metadata of the following output
columns does not match the metadata of the external columns......Do
you want to replace the metadata of the output columns with the
metadata of the external columns?" When I choose 'yes', then the
file will be loaded. then I can put the control flow components back
into the foreach loop and the file will run again, successfully, along
with some more, until it chokes again....

So, first of all, does anyone have any insight into this? Sometimes,
somedays, these files will load with no problems. These exact files;
I am having to reload constantly... Other times, like today, it is a
battle.

Otherwise, is there a way to get Integration Svcs to handle the
metadata issue on the fly???

Any ideas, resources, references, war stories, or good clean jokes
would be appreciated,
Kathryn

Integration Services :: Variable (Excel Tab Name) In Foreach Loop

Oct 3, 2013

I have to import a number of excel spreadsheets. I'm using the classic Foreach Loop inside another Foreach loop approach. The outside loop (Foreach File Enumerator) cycles through the Excel files, while the inside loop (Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator - ExcelSchema - Tables) to cycle through the individual Excel sheets in each file.

Nothing special there; however, for some reason these excel files have some "phantom" tabs that should not be imported. I call them phanton because they show up as an importable tab in a SSSIS import wizard but actually are not listed in the excel file structure (no, they are not hidden tabs, I checked).

My idea is to use a constraint to NOT import those phanton tabs. The name convention should allow me to do that because the normal tabs have the name 'AAAAAAyyyymmdd$' and the phantom tabs show up as 'AAAAAAyyyymmdd$'_xlnm#_FilterDatabase (the line below was captured from the Local Variable window and show one of the phantom tabs name).

+ User::WorksheetName {'AAAAAAyyyymmdd$'_xlnm#_FilterDatabase} String

I tried using Len (@[User::WorksheetName]) == 17, which corresponds to the length of the normal tabs name ('AAAAAAyyyymmdd$'). However, it does not work. For some reason the portion of the phantom tab name after the ending single quote (_xlnm#_FilterDatabase) appears to be ignored.

I tested with a number of different expressions, including reversing the variable, to no avail. It seems that internally just the standard name between quotes is what the constraint sees.

Please Help! Dynamic DB Connection In Foreach Loop

Apr 4, 2006

Hello-

I'm trying to read a table that has database connection information for other DBs and use this within an "Execute SL Task" task. I have seen a number of posts that talk about this possibility, but I have not been able to get it to work yet.

When I've tried to set the connection to a variable (@[User::DB_ConnectionStr]) in the Expressions area of the SQL Task, the Connection type defaults to OLE DB and I can't seem to force it back to ADO or ADO.net.

I've tried doing this with the variable being set to both a connection object and a String with the connection string, but neither seems to work.

Any suggestions? Should this be a string value of the connection string? Am I missing something when trying to set the connection type?

Thanks much!

Unable To Retrieve Column Information In Flatfile Connection Within Foreach Loop Container

Jan 11, 2007

Hello, I am getting very frustrated! I have got a Foreach loop container which I am processing files within a folder. I have a flatfile connection manager which I have set up using a test file and have updated the expressions attribute to be the package variable I set up in the collection for the loop container however everytime I run it I get the error: 0xC0202094 cannot retrieve the column information from the flatfile connection manager. I can only guess that it is either the variable being passed to the connection manager or the way I set up the connection manager. When I msgbox the variable in a script component before the dataflow step, the variable for the file seems fine. Any suggestions are REALLY appreciated.

Yours

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.

Apr 22, 2008

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)

Foreach File Enumerator - Is Absent In Foreach Loop Component

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!

Foreach Loop Doesn't Loop

Mar 3, 2006

I have a foreach loop that is supposed to loop through a recordset, however it doesn't loop. It just repeats the same row, row after row.

I would like to look into the recordset variable but I can't because it is a COM object and the ADODB namespace is not available in the script task.

Any solution to this? anyone experienced anything similar

Excel Connection Manager And Expressions

Feb 1, 2007

Hello,

I have a question regarding which expressions need to be set to have the excel connection manager be able to create/update a file dynamically. I'm reading a path in from a database and storing it in a variable. The path is just the location of an excel file. What I would like to have happen is that the excel connection manager be dynamic so that if I wanted to change where this file went or the name I could simply change the value in the database.

I've tried setting the expressions, in the Excel connection Manager: ConnectionString,ExcelFilePath, and Servername to the variable \pathfolderfile.xls with no luck. The ConnectionString seems to be a little funny because it contains Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source = ; Extended Properties =; HDR=YES", so I don't know if I can just use that expression and ignore the others or what.

Any help would appreciated,

Phil

May 14, 2008

So from the message I'm assuming that somewhere in the package configuration its missing the path to be able to find the Excel spreadsheet in question. But when opening up the package configuration I can't see anything immediately wrong. For the path of the spreadsheet location I've used the full UNC path instead of any mapped drive locations I've being guilty of using in the past. Below is the Excel Connection Manager section of my configuration file:

<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[Excel Connection Manager].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">

</Configuration>
<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[Excel Connection Manager].Properties[UserName]" ValueType="String">

</ConfiguredValue>

I've checked the rest of the configuration file and wherever something needs a username and password, they are entered correctly. I've also made sure that the account I'm logged onto our server and running the package under can access the excel file in question with no issues.

What is abit strange is that I have another package that runs in a similar way and also uses an Excel Connection Manager but from a different folder in the same area and that runs fine. I've tried to compare the 2 sets of connection managers to see if I can spot the difference but I've been unable to so far. Al that I can see that is different is the folder winningproject somtimes being in lowercase and then sometimes having capitals, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

I'm hoping a fresh pair of eyes will be able to spot something obvious that I've missed!! Below is the Excel Connection Manager section of the configuration file I have that works fine.:

<Configuration ConfiguredType="Property" Path="Package.Connections[Excel Connection Manager].Properties[ConnectionString]" ValueType="String">

How To Create An Excel Connection Manager Programmatically ?

Sep 18, 2007

I am following the samples in the online books. I've got an OLEDB connection manager and source component defined. I now want to create an Excel connection manager and destination component (see below). How can I do this?

Dim conMgr As ConnectionManager = package.Connections.Add("OLEDB")

conMgr.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;" "Data Source=FLL-EIS;Initial Catalog=DataLoad;" & _

"Integrated Security=SSPI;"

conMgr.Name = "SSIS Connection Manager for OLE DB"

conMgr.Description = "OLE DB connection to FLL-EIS."

' Create and configure an OLE DB source component.

Dim source As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New

source.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.OleDbSource"

' Create the design-time instance of the source.

Dim srcDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = source.Instantiate

srcDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()

' Assign the connection manager.

source.RuntimeConnectionCollection(0).ConnectionManager = _

DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(conMgr)

' Set the custom properties of the source.

srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("AccessMode", 2)

srcDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("SqlCommand", Dts.Variables("User::gsQuery").Value.ToString)

' Connect to the data source,

' and then update the metadata for the source.

srcDesignTime.AcquireConnections(Nothing)

srcDesignTime.ReinitializeMetaData()

srcDesignTime.ReleaseConnections()

' Create and configure an OLE DB destination. (This is where I need help, as this code does not work)

Dim destination As IDTSComponentMetaData90 = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New

destination.ComponentClassID = "DTSAdapter.ExcelDestination"

' Create the design-time instance of the destination.

Dim destDesignTime As CManagedComponentWrapper = destination.Instantiate

' Where can I find documentation about the various ComponentClassIds and Properties???

destDesignTime.ProvideComponentProperties()
destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("ExcelFilePath", Dts.Variables("User::gsExcelFile").Value.ToString)

destDesignTime.SetComponentProperty("TableName", Dts.Variables("User::gsSheetName").Value.ToString)

Ignore Excel Connection Manager Errors

Feb 6, 2008

I have a package that uses a for loop to iterate through an unknown amount of excel files and pull their data into a table. However, there will be cases when the file is corrupted or has some sort of problem so that either the transformation will fail or the excel source will fail.

I have it so that for each iteration if the transform was successful the file is moved to an archive directory, and if it fails the file is moved to a different directory.

But I don't want the package to be marked as failed. For the control flow tasks I have set the individual components to FailPackageonFailure = False, and for the Data Flow tasks I have set ValidateExternalMetadata = False.

It no use to set the MaxErrorCount higher because I can't guarantee how many files will be processed and how many might fail.

Could anyone suggest a clean way to trap these errors? Specifically, the "Cannot Aquire Connection from Connection Manager", which is the excel connection.

Thanks

Hi There

I am having some issues with dts packages i have migrated using the package migration wizard.

One of the connection managers points to an execl flat file source.

I have not altered anything after the package migration, the conenction manager is using Native OLE DBMicrosoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider.

When i test the connection i get the following error :

"Test connection failed becuase of an error in initializing provider. Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by anotehr user."

Ok i am 99% sure this file is not being accessed by another user, the rest of the error is greek to me. Looking on the net for this error it has to do with access database security and having to sertup htm pages for IIS, i cannot findanything on this error relating to ssis connection manager.

FeedFile Excel Connection Manager --- Concurrency Issue?

Jul 18, 2006

Hi,
RE. SSIS (v9.00.1399.00) --- FeedFile Excel Connection Manager --- Concurrency Issue
1. I have 15 completely separate SSIS Packages all of which use the FeedFile Excel Connection Manager to read data from completely separate Excel worksheets.
2. When I invoke, say, 5 of these Packages at the same time then one or more (at random) of them fail with the following error message:-
The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "FeedFile Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
3. When I invoke the failed Packages again then they succeed.
So, do you know if there is:-
(a) a concurrency issue with the "FeedFile Excel Connection Manager" ?
(b) a read-only option (in the SSIS Package code) which needs to be specified to overcome file contention issues?

Additional Information about the FeedFile Excel Connection Manager:-

Connection String=Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:DoesNotNeedToExist.xls;Extended Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=NO";

DelayValidation=True

ExcelFilePath= C:DoesNotNeedToExist

RetainSameConnection=False

Note1. The actual Excel filename which is read is generated dynamically at run-time by a Script Task. This is why DelayValidation has been set to: True (Note. The file: "C:DoesNotNeedToExist" does not actually physically exist.)

Note2. We have another SSIS Package which uses the FeedFile FlatFile Connection Manager. When we run this same Package concurrently (i.e. invoke it 5 times, at the same time, with different input files) then all 5 invocations succeed, which is what we would expect.

Thanks.

Problem With Data Type In Excel Connection Manager

Apr 7, 2008

I have a task that uses an Excel connection manager to read in an Excel file. In the file there are 6 date columns. The date columns can have either a date or the letters NA. If I look at the External Column properties from the advanced tab, 4 of the date columns have a datatype of DT_DATE. The other 2 date columns have a datatype of DT_WSTR. The 4 columns with DT_DATE, my data looks okay as when it is read by the connection manager. The issue is that the 2 columns that are DT_WSTR, all dates are turned into NULLS, while the NA's are just fine. I have tried to change the datatypes in the advanced tab to DT_DATE, but it won't work.

I don't have any idea what to do to get this working correctly. Can anyone PLEASE provide some insight and suggestions or a solution?

Excel Connection Manager Fails When Package Called Programatically

Jan 25, 2008

I've put together a SSIS package that, once a user uploads an Excel spreadsheet from a webpage, grabs it, does a mess of calculations and spits it out into a datareader (this last part is tricky, but I haven't even gotten to this point yet). In BIDS, the package works fine. Run using the 32-bit version of dtexec, it runs fine. But when I try to call it from the page, I keep getting an error. The errors look familiar enough that I'm thinking it's due to the package trying to run 64-bit, and that not playing nicely with Excel. If that's true, is there an easy way to force the 32-but version to be used? I've already set the project properties to Run64BitRuntime = false, which I'd hoped would help. but no luck.

Here's the code I'm using:

Code Snippet
string pkg = @"pathpackage.dtsx";
Application app = new Application();
Package p = app.LoadPackage(p, null);
Variable varFileName = p.Variables["strExcelFileName"];
varFileName.Vaue = strFileName;
Variable varFilePath = p.Variables["strExcelFilePath"];
varFilePath.Value = strFilePath;

DTSExecResult dte = p.Execute();

Error handling

p.Dispose();

And it kicks out the following:

Excel Connection Manager Where There Are Multiple Rows Of Column Headers

Oct 11, 2007

I have excel files where the column headers I care about are on line 5, and the actual data doesn't begin until line 6. Other than deleting the first 4 lines, which is impractical, how can I get the Excel Connection Manager to import the data correctly? I was able to do this under DTS, so I have to imagine it's possible.

Thanks!

Excel Connection Manager Expression Editor - Variable Problem

Oct 4, 2006

Hi,

I have a data flow task within a foreach file loop. My problem occurs when I tried to make up an expression for the connection string of the Excel connection manager. Somehow I can see only system variables and none of the variables which I set up within the scope of the foreach file loop.

Can anyone provide me any insight into this mystery? As far as I can see, all the variables I created in the foreach file loop are still showing on the variable windows (without the Show All Variable button clicked).

Thank you very much and hope to hear from someone soon!

Regards,
Hsiao

I need to process a 2012 Excel file. In SSIS Connection Manager, I am only given an option until Excel 2007 version. When I use this in my connection for Excel Source, I am prompted with this error when I attempt to select the name of the sheet:

"Could not retrieve the table information for the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'.

Failed to connect to the source using the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'"

Also my Run64BitRuntime is set to false.

Integration Services :: Truncation Errors Using Excel Connection Manager - VS2008

Jun 17, 2015

I am in the process of importing an Excel Spreadsheet using the natively connection manager in SSIS 2008. There is one column however that is causing me grief.

SSIS has natively chosen the problematic column to be a DT_WSTR(255). I have gone into the Excel connection manager's Advanced Editor and altered it to be a DT_WSTR(1000) (see image 1 attached).

I am still getting truncation issues though, as per image 2 attached. why this is?

AcquireConnection Method Call Fails When Scheduling A Job With Excel Connection Manager?

May 9, 2006

I have a SSIS package that reads the data from an Excel file using an Excel Connection Manager and imports the data to a table on a SQL Server 2005 DB instance.

When I run this package locally on the server the package being on the file system, the package executes perfectly. Now I upload the package to the msdb database and the run the package from there and the package still executes successfully.

Now I schedule the package to run as a SQL Server Agent job and the package fails and when the logging is enabled I see this in the log file;

OnError,WEB-INTSQL,NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM,Copy to CRN-ALLOCATION_COMMENTS_TEMP,{40A6BF6E-7121-448B-A49D-DED58FDC746A},{BD991566-F4BD-41BC-AEBF-264032D8D0D3},5/9/2006 1:54:52 PM,5/9/2006 1:54:52 PM,-1071611876,0x,The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.

OnError,WEB-INTSQL,NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM,Copy to CRN-ALLOCATION_COMMENTS_TEMP,{40A6BF6E-7121-448B-A49D-DED58FDC746A},{BD991566-F4BD-41BC-AEBF-264032D8D0D3},5/9/2006 1:54:52 PM,5/9/2006 1:54:52 PM,-1073450985,0x,component "Allocation Comments" (1) failed validation and returned error code 0xC020801C.

I am wondering why the AcquireConnection method call is failing when the package is scheduled? I am running the step as a SQL Agent Service Account and it is the Local System account that starts up the SQL Server Agent and Server and is an Administrator on the box.

Any inputs will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

M.Shah
