Hi everyone,
I€™d like to read the SqlStatement property for a Sql Task from a Script Task (previously Sql Task is executed) in execution.
Keeping on mind that such SqlStatement receives an input parameter.
Is it possible? I think so but how do I such thing?
Let me know if you need further details.
Thanks a lot for your time and thoughts,
I want to transfer data from one server to another by using SSIS. i want the connection string to be dynamic and also according to the some other variable, the transforming data is changing.
Could you provide me the solution thet how i am able to change my connetction string dynamically and the other variable too.
i am using VS 2003 as front end and SQL server 2005 as a backhand.
Due to VS.NET 2003 i am able to create DTS packages but i have to migrate it and then anly i am able to use it in JOB in SQL server agent of SQL server 2005.
is that any code or any stored procedure from which i am able to migrate DTS packages to SSIS packages.
Thank you
A common issue that I run across with clients is they want only want to process a file if it's finished transmitting to the server. This SQL Server 2005 task reads the properties of a file and writes the values to a series of variables. For example, you can use this task to determine if the file is in use (still be uploaded or written to) and then conditionally run the Data Flow task to load the file if it's not being used. You can also use it to determine when the file was created in order to determine if it must be archived.

I have a Parent package and a child package.
I have hard coded the value for the User::FilePath variable in the parent package.
I am mapping this variable to the value of the same variable in the Child Package.
I created a directory and sql file: "C: empsqlb.sql". I have verified that the path variable value is passed to the child package by using a Script task with a messgbox call.
How do I define an execute sql task to execute sql file: @[User::FilePath] & "sqlb.sql". I'm using this expression for the SqlStatementSource property. I have entered the OLEDB server information and specified the SQLSourceType = fileconnection.
However I get the error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Connection manager "D:
lewisdevZsqlb.sql" does not exist.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi,
I recently came across a DTS made by an experienced DBA and was impressed by the use of Dynamic Properties DTS Task used. As I understood the DTS was generic and if I'm not mistaken, can be easily transferred to another server/machine on an AS IS basis and without having to change any of the properties (server name, login, password etc.) for the source or destination server.
This seems to be a really neat feature.
I tried to put this to use but am having problems regarding how to proceed... Unfortunately I have not been able to find any article either which addresses this particular request and takes a novice step by step so that this feature can be used.
Will appreciate any help.
Thanks
Hi,
DTS now has a dynamic properties task in sql 2000 which at a first glance is pretty cool. However i do not know if it would sort out a particular issue I have.
I need to have a generic DTS package that pulls data from different locations based on the project selected by a user. The source is a btrieve database
The name of the tables change with the project, so for example the F24 project would have its source table named F24TACT and the IFO source would have its source table named IFOTACT.
I need to be able to dynamically retrieve the table name from a local SQL table and assign this name to the data pump for the data extraction..
I don' t know if this is achievable in DTS. I can retrieve the value into a look up variable but how can i set it at runtime ?
thanks

Hey all,
I have a stored procedure, which need one variable as parameter. I am trying to call this stored procedure from my DTS Task and my parameter is defined as the Global Variable in DTS. here is the SP call within my DTS Task
declare @id int
select @id = DTSGlobalVariables('ClientId' ).value
exec sp_Update_DayPart @ClientId= @id
it gives me an error that DTSGlobalVariables function not defined. In this case how can i pass the value of Client Id which is my global variable to my SP.
Thanks in Advance
Hello,I am building a packge where an FTP task needs to pull down a singlefileevery day from a specific location. The location will only have theone file.The file name will be different every day. A sample of one of the filenameslooks like this:CDNSC.CDNSC.SC00015.04012007The file names will be different every day, as the last eight digitsrepresent the date of the data in the file. The source files will belocatedin a subdirectory called 'outgoing'.My first approach to this has been to use a Dyamic Properties Task tosetthe SourceFileName of the FTP Task. I tried using a sting GlobalVariableexpressed as *.*.*.* thinking a wildcard would work, but it didn't.What approaches can I take so that the Source Filename in the FTP taskwilldymanically update each day to get the one file?Thank you for your help!cdun2

Hello All Experts,
I have created one custom task with PropertyGrid Control and two button on it. I have everything under one class library project.
Problem I am facing is when i load task and clik on Edit I can not see those properties into that GUI and even functionlity of those two buttons (OK and Cancel) not working but I am able to see those properties in default property window.
If I create this GUI as a seperate window application then I am able to see those properties in GUI and buttons also working but in SSIS I am not able to load the task.
After reading on internet about SSIS they suggest to create everything under one project which I did.
Basically I am trying to populate connection managers like Source Connection and Destination Connection when I load this task and there are much more backend functionlity but at first step i m stuck and not able to see those properties in GUI.
Please help and give your input on it. I was following "Increment Task" example given by MSDN.
If you need more info let me know.
Thanks
I am trying to read in a flat file, transform the fields and store into a destination database.
In DTS, this works using Transform Data Task Properties. I define the columns and then have a VB script on the Transformations tab that changes any bad data.
Is there a way to do this in SSIS that I can define the column transformations and re-use my VB scripts?

I would like to store the file properties like (title, created by , created time, modified time) and load in to a audit table along with file name. I know how to design this process inside a foreach lookup with script task and execute sql task.
I'm trying to achieve this by editing my existing code which captures the most recent file based on its file properties.Â
public void Main()

I'm programmatically loading a package that was created with VS 2005. The last task in the package is a Send Mail Task. It has two properties, FileAttachments and ToLine, which are set to expressions whose values come directly from package variables. The package runs in debug and non-debug (under VS) correctly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIf, in an SSIS package, you put an instance of an 'Execute SQL Task' task in the Control Flow, in the Properties window, you can see the properties of the task, for example CodePage.
If you double click on the task, the Execute SQL Task Editor appears, with several of the properties which are also in the Properties window, including CodePage.
If, in the Editor, you update the value of CodePage, then click OK, the value of CodePage in the Properties window is updated immediately.
I have written a custom SSIS task, which also has the same properties in the Properties window and in the Editor. The Editor also has an OK button. When OK is clicked, the values of the task properties are updated. An example property is FolderToArchive. If I open the Editor, change the value of FolderToArchive and click the OK button, the value of FolderToArchive in the Properties window is NOT immediately updated.
If, however, I select the FolderToArchive field in the Propertiesd window, it is then updated with the value I entered in the Editor.
How do I get my task to update the values in the Properties window, after changing a value in the Editor, when I click the OK button?
I would have thought I would need something like, in pseudo-code,
   Task.Parent.PropertiesWindow.Refresh
   where task is of type Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Task and Task.Parent is of type Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Package.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my SSIS package, I have a data flow task
I am loading a CSV file into a SQL table (OLE DB destination)
I have a couple of CSV files to be loaded
Instead of creating a separate task for each file , can I combine them together into a single task
I was thinking about using a ForEach container
This approach works if the number of columns in all the CSV files is same
But in my case it is not
So what I want is a script task that dynamically modifies the mappings
Can I do this?
I was browsing the net and I found certain code which uses IDTSExternalMetadataColumn90, MapOutputColumn etc.
But the code was creating a new package for each mapping
I couldn't understand the code
So can you please help me with this?
My script task should modify the mappings in my data flow task
For e.g.
If I have 3 columns in my CSV and 3 columns in DB, they should be mapped in the same order
P.S. I do not want to use configurations
HI,
I need to open a File through File connection manager and want to assign these file properties to SSIS precreated varibale or Newly created varibale. I want to show file properties in Propertygrid. Properties grid will conatin File Propeties Column and SSIS varibale Combobox column. The combo box will contain New variable field. When user select New Variable field, then a new SSIS varibale window will open and we can able create New variable and that Newly created variable should add to that property comboBox.
For Instance if we create a new varibale Name "Creationdate" by clicking on New Varible in ComboBox, then that CreationDate variable should add to Property ComboBox in PropertyGrid. After adding when we select that variable Name "Creationdate" then that selected file Creation date should assign to SSIS varibale "Creationdate" field.
Any Comments or sample will help me.

I've been executing a package and passing a parent variable to the child using package configurations but I'd now like to do this using a script task. The script task would then programmatically load the package and execute it.
How do I do this and still use the parent variable?
I've found examples of how to load a package but I haven't been able to find out how to I load it specifying the parent variables.
I think it's possible. MSDN shows the available methods but the example is for the base method.

hello guys,
I am having trouble with using disable property in the expression for data flow task. Here is the issue as explained below-
lets say i have 3 tables TableA, TableB, TableC from which i need to export data. So i create a table (TableList) where I save these table names and a unique id to these tables. e.g.
TableList will have-
TableName TableID
TableA 1
TableB 2
TableC 3
in the ssis package select these tableNames & Ids from tableList in Execute SQL Task. And assign the result set to a variable object (@TableList.
Then i use For Each Loop Container (For Each ADO Enumerator) , to loop through these tablesnames & iDs
Inside this loop container, i define three data flow tasks one for each table. So i have DataFlowTaskA (For TableA), DataFlowTaskB(For TableB), DataFlowTaskC (For TableC).
Now for a given table selected in the iteration, only the corresponding DataFlow Task should be exeuted. e.g. For the 1st iteration, if TableA is selected then only DataFlowTaskA should be executed and DataFlowTaskB& C should be skipped.
In order to achieve this, I am using a 3 variable @FlagA, @FlagB, @FlagC (type Boolean) one for each Table. and use the value of these flags for the "Disable" property of the data flow task (so @FlagA will be used for Disable property in the Expression for Data FlowTaskA, and so on..)
SotThe First Step inside the Loop, I use Script Task. (Input for the script task: read variable is @TableID and Read/Write varaibles are these 3 flags)
In this script task, I initialize these flags to true or false appropriately. So this is what i do
If (Dts.Variables("TableID").Value.ToString = "1") Then
Dts.Variables("@FlagA").Value = False
Else
Dts.Variables("@FlagA").Value = True
End If
If (Dts.Variables("TableID").Value.ToString = "2") Then
Dts.Variables("@FlagB").Value = False
Else
Dts.Variables("@FlagB").Value = True
End If
So in the 1st iteration, (if TableA comes) @FlagA=False and B&C will be True.
So the Disable property for DataFlowTask will be set false and for others it will be set to True. Thus, only DataFlowTaskA will be executed.
And this action should be repeated for each input table. this is the logic.
However only for the 1st iteration(say TableA is selected) it behaves as above. i.e. DataFlowTaskA is executed and DataFlowTaskB & C are skipped. But in the 2nd iteration(say TableB is selected) , it again executes DataFlowTaskA and doesnt exeute B & C (where it should have executed B & skipped A&C).
I do set daelay validation to true for all these but it still it doesnt working as expected. Even I checked the values for all the flags for each iteration and they seem to get the correct values. But somehow Diable propery in the expression not behaving as it should.
Am i missing anything. Do i need to set any other property to make this work.
I apprecite any help.
Thanks
Hi JayH (or anyone). Another week...a new set of problems. I obviously need to learn .net syntax, but because of project deadlines in converting from DTS to SSIS it is hard for me to stop and do that. So, if someone could help me some easy syntax, I would really appreciate it.
In DTS, there was a VBScript that copied a set of flat files from one directory to an archive directory after modifying the file name. In SSIS, the directory and archive directory will be specified in the config file. So, I need a .net script that retrieves a file, renames it and copies it to a different directory.

' Loop through all files in the data directory.
For Each MovementFile In FileCollection
' Get the full path name of the current data file.
MovementDataFile = MovementDataDir & "" & MovementFile.Name
' Get the full path name of the archive data file.
MovementArchiveDataFile = MovementArchiveDataDir & "" & MovementFile.Name
DecimalLocation = InStr(1, MovementArchiveDataFile, ".")
FileNameExtension = Mid(MovementArchiveDataFile, DecimalLocation, Len(MovementArchiveDataFile) - DecimalLocation + 1)
FileNameRoot = Mid(MovementArchiveDataFile, 1, DecimalLocation - 1)
MovementArchiveDataFile = FileNameRoot & "_" & FileApplicationDate & FileNameExtension
If (fso.FileExists(MovementDataFile)) Then
fso.CopyFile(MovementDataFile, MovementArchiveDataFile)
' If the archive file was coppied, then delete the old copy.
If (fso.FileExists(MovementArchiveDataFile)) Then

I am tasked with truncating and reloading tables from one server to another. Company policy prevents cross-server queries, but allows SSIS packages with cross-server connections. I am doing this for about 25 tables. I have the table names in a single table & I have created an FEL to execute tasks against each table one-by-one. It works fine to truncate all the tables. I run into issues, though, with the DataFlowTask. I'm able to tell it which server & table to dynamically connect from and to, but it doesn't know how to map the metadata. They're the exact same columns and field names in both source & destination.
View 9 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how to change the task name displayed within a ForEach Loop Container (or of the ForEach Loop Container task itself) based on a variable. I am pretty familiar with setting variable values during task execution and using expressions to alter task properties based on variables. I have tried using an expression to alter the value of the Name property of the ForEach Loop Container but the name of the ForEach Loop Container does not change during execution. Since the color of the various tasks change during execution, I would think that the task names could be changed as well.
Hi,
I am facing a very strange issue with the Send Mail Task:
I am fetching the recipient from a Recordset and storing it in a variable (MailList).
Now, I modify the Send Mail Task to include an Expression which updates the "ToLine" property with the email address in the "MailList" variable.
Moreover, I am not hard-coding the "To" property in the "Mail" tab of "Send Mail Task Editor" and leaving it blank. Now, it does not allow me to execute the package and gives me a "Package Validation Error" saying: No recipient is specified.
Any solutions?
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to read an xcel file from within the script task of SSIS. I've seen posts that kind of steer me in the right direction, but none to do exactly what I'm looking for. I am loading data from flat files into a database where the source file has text longer than the target column. In order to get the text to "fit" i would like to apply a series of standard abbreviations, for example replace "DOCTOR" with "DR". I started off by simply writing a series of if-then logic; if length (<source>) > <targetlengh>, then replace <long> with <short>. After writing this for 40+ abbreviations I soon realized that this is not the best way to do this. So I came up with the idea of storing all the abbreviations in a .xls file which would be opened and applied via a script task. The problem is that I'm new to VB.net (actually any flavor of VB) and have not been able to read the abbreviations file as of yet.
This is what I've tried thus far, which results with this error: Exception from HRESULT: 0xC001400B
