I may have one or several files in a folder that act as source files.
How do I loop through the folder, picking the oldest dated file according to its 'Date Modifield' attribute.
Do I have to use a Script Task or similar as I can't seem to find a way to do it with normal tasks.
If so, does anyone have example code.
Thanks

Hi Experts,
I have to find the latest file in a folder and export data to a table in sql server.
The code should be something that has to be incorporated into a t-sql stored procedure.
The file name would for example abc_defYYYYMMDD.xls.
would i be able to find the latest file in the folder using the the datestamp (YYYYMMDD) in the filename.
Please note i would have files in other format and names with datestamp attached to it, so the code has to pick specific file for which the file name starts with 'abc_def'
and export data to a table.
Any help would be highly appreciated
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,

I donn't see reportserver folder in my local host is there any wrong at instalation time ?
Thank you
I've been looking for treads with a possible similar problem but thus far nothing. I recently upgraded SQL 2000 (STD ed.) instance to SQL 2005 (STD ed.). This includes the db's. All their compatibility levels were changed to level 90 (SQL 2005). Everything seems to be working fine but when trying to migrate a legacy maintenance plan I keep getting the message, "Cannot find folder "Maintenance Plans"." even though the folder is clearly listed. Not sure where to start. I have created two virtual images and both have the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. RoviWil
View 8 Replies View RelatedSince i have 5 different projects all has the same kind of reports., but calling via 5 different sites all sites on same webserver.
The problem i have is the .rds file name is same in all 5 report projects and it is a shared datasource., now when i compile the report project it will not load or overwrite the .rds file since the name is same, for that reason i tried to have the .rds file in reports folder as a datasource not a shared datasource. but i tried to add it, after i create the datasource, it is automatically going into the shared datasource folder, how can i create a datasource not shared under reports folder.
Thank you very much for all your help and information.

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 have a database that keeps track of pledges, scheduled reminders, and payments.
A user sets up a pledge and then sets up a schedule for reminders to be sent for each payment of the pledge.
Pledge table - PledgeID,PledgeDate,PledgeAmount,etc...
ScheduledReminders table - ScheduleID,PledgeID,DueDate,ReminderDate,ReminderPrintedDate,ReminderPaidDate
AppliedPayments table - ScheduleID,PaymentID,PaidAmount,PaidDate (Junction table between ScheduledReminders and PledgePayments
PledgePayments table PaymentID,PaymentAmount,PaymentDate
What I need to know is, when a payment is being Inserted I need the payment amount applied to the oldest scheduled reminder record that has not been paid. But if the payment is more than the amount shown in the schedule reminder record, I need the balance to be applied to the next oldest schedule reminder record, etc...
Can anyone offer some good suggestions or examples on how to do this?

Hi,
I have a base query that will return the ID, StartDate and Code for all IDs. I SELECT only for Codes 5 and 9. For most of the IDs I return a record for both a Code 5 and Code 9. They will have different dates however. How could I select from this base query one record for each ID with the oldest date? The items in yellow are the ones that I would want to return to a report in SSRS. Is there a way to put this data in a temp table and read through it to compare IDs and grab the one with the older date?

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.

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,
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.
Hi,
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'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?

I have a table that I need to delete the oldest date. I thought I could just do an update statement saying...
Delete T_BreakDown
where Date = MIN(Date)
But that doesn't work.
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.
