I 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...
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.
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.
I have a simple data flow where I am trying to import data from an xml file into a SQL Server table. I have an xsd that seems to work because the XML Source can pick up all the elements in the xml file. The problem is that the process executes successfully without any rows being imported. The xml file has lots of data. But no messages or warnings are given to suggest why no rows are being written to the table.
At our business we are getting a lot of PDF documents that are being hand keyed into a database. Has anyone heard ior know of a SSIS Data Flow Source component that I coud use to read thos documents into a data stream (?) and process?
I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much 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.
I need to use .txt files as data source, those files are in same folder. Now I connect to them with ODBC, and allow client select which file they want to view by input the name of file as a parameter. The problem is all those file are tabdelimited and the default of ODBC driver is CSV delimited. So once new file is added in the folder, we must refresh the ODBC otherwise the drive will deal all the data as one column.

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 inherited a SSRS setup and am trying to do some clean up. Problem is I cannot see the Data Sources Folder. I am setup as SA and SU on both the RS Server and SQL Server. When I go check the catalog in SQL db it does truly exist as well as a number of data sources in the folder that reports are currently using. How can I see this folder?

I have a question about ssrs security. In report manager I have set a list of users as browsers, and the builtin administrators are content manager in the parent folder where reports are. A user that is not an administrator and neither a user I added, has access to reports.
I'm thinking this person is having access because the data source of the reports use a administrator account to connect to the analysis services  using the option Credentials stored securely in the report server with the 2 checkboxes marked (use as windows credentials when connecting to the data source and impersonate the authenticated user).
I simply marked this option because SSRS is in 1 server and SSAS in other and I think kerberos need to be configured and I haven't looked into it, but I think the report access is separated from the data source.
I am trying to set up a data flow task. The source is "SQL Command" which is a stored procedure. The proc has a few temp tables that it outputs the final resultset from. When I hit preview in the ole db source editor, I see the right output. When I select the "Columns" tab on the right, the "Available External Column List" is empty. Why don't the column names appear? What is the work around to get the column mappings to work b/w source and destination in this scenario.
In DTS previously, you could "fool" the package by first compiling the stored procedure with hardcoded column names and dummy values, creating and saving the package and finally changing the procedure back to the actual output. As long as the columns remained the same, all would work. Thats not working for me in SSIS.

This is my first time trying to import data from an XML file. It seems wonderfully straightforward. I currently have my Data Flow set up correctly. However, when I try to run my package I get a series of errors. One error is a 0x80131500 which is a very generic error. It say's it's haveing a hard time with a 'Url' field in the XML. The size of the field is set to 255 which should take care of any issues with Truncating. The only issue that I can see with that field is that it contains a query string which of course contains a special '&' XML character (&). When I set the Error Handling to Ignore that Error on that column, it imports just fine, however, NONE of the URL's get inserted. So there must be a problem with every URL in the XML. Here are the error messages I recieved from the Progress section:
[XML Source [1]] Error: The "component "XML Source" (1)" failed because error code 0x80131500 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "Url" (59)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. [XML Source [1]] Error: The component "XML Source" (1) was unable to process the XML data. Pipeline component has returned HRESULT error code 0xC0209029 from a method call.
----And then alot of DTS.Pipeline errors.
I have done alot of searching for this error in regards to SSIS, but the information is scarce. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time in this matter.
P.S. Just started using SSIS last week and I love it! The team did an excellent job!
I'm in the final stage of my asp.net project and one of the last things I need to do is add the following file information to my SQL server 2000 database when a file is uploaded:
First of all I have a resource table to which I need to add: - filename - file_path - file_size (the resource_id has a auto increment value)
so that should hopefully be straight forward when the file is uploaded. The next step is to reference the new resource_id in my module_resource table. My module resource table consists of: - resource_id (foreign key) - module_id (foreign key)
So, adding the module_id is easy enough as I can just get the value using Request.QueryString["module_id"]. The bit that I am unsure about is how to insert the new resource_id from the resource table into the module_resource table on file upload. How is this done? Using one table would solve the issue but I want one resource to be available to all modules - many to many relationship.
I wonder if anyone can tell me how we can run select queries in an OLE DB data flow task and tell the target SQL 2000 server it should allow reads at all time. Currently when a lock is on the source table our SSIS package will sit and wait untill the lock on the source table is gone.
I have read only permission in the source (OLTP) database. The source database is running in SQL Server 2000 and the size is more than 200 GB. I need to pull data from source and load target which is running in SQL server 2005.
Following are the objectives I want to achieve.
Data should be loaded on incremental basis.
Whatever changes take place (Update/Delete) in source, that should be replicated to already uploaded data.
Here I want to mention that, the source database does not have any identification key or timestamp column like Updated_Date by which I can filter the data which are recently inserted or updated into the source and upload the same. The source does not maintain any history data also. So I do not have any track of deleted record also.
I don€™t have any scope to change the schema in the source. In this scenario can anybody suggest me the best approach to achieve the above mentioned objectives?
Can I retrieve only the recent updated or inserted date form transaction log back up. Can log shipping solve the give the solution?
One more question. Say I have a table and I am exporting/importing all the data from/to my target table using SSIS or DTS. In this scenario does using query or using directly the table affects the performance?
I have a problem with reading data from an Excel file in SSIS. I'm trying to read a column that mostly consists of decimal values, but there are couple places where column entry is 2 numbers separated by a slash (e.g. "100/6.0"). SSIS tries to be smart and identifies the column data type as decimal and when it reads the cell with the slash in it, it reads as NULL. I tried to make my excel source reader component to read that cell as a string, but it gives me an error. If anybody has come across something like this, I would highly appreciate some help
Hello Experts, I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle). PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not.. What should go here ? ->Under Class A
I have a filetable that contains a binary file. I need to do a selective read of the file stored in the file table. I can write a C# CLR function that will open the file, read n bytes the from a starting byte. Or I can write a SQL statement that reads the stream in the filetable into a VARBINARY variable using SUBSTRING beginning at the starting byte (offset from 1) for the same n bytes.
Both give me the same result. However, the SQL statement takes considerably longer to read. I know there is overhead in reading through SQL (interpreted language), but the difference in performance is substantial, and I can only attribute this performance degradation if SQL first tries to "load" the entire stream before it identifies the portion of the stream that it needs to read beginning at the starting byte offset.
I wonder if this is the case or if there is another option to read a stream from a filetable directly through SQL queries that is more efficient.
Hello, I am trying to configure a Script Component as a data source. Although this should be a simple exercise, I am running into a problem.
My control flow contains a Foreach Loop with a file iterator. The Directory Expression of the Foreach Loop Editor is supplied by an expression mapped to a package level variable called inputdirectory. The FileNameRetrieval Expression is mapped to a package scoped variable called filename.
My data flow is encapsulated by the Foreach Loop, and contains a Script Component as Source for the Data Flow Source, and a Flat File for the Data Flow Destination. The contents of the Script Designer are as follows:
Code Block Imports System Imports System.Data Imports System.Math Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.Wrapper Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper Imports System.IO Public Class ScriptMain
Inherits UserComponent Dim thisFileDate As Date Dim thisFileName As String Dim thisFilePath As String Public Overrides Sub CreateNewOutputRows()
thisFileName = ReadOnlyVariables("filename").Value.ToString() thisFilePath = ReadOnlyVariables("inputdirectory").Value.ToString() thisFileDate = File.GetCreationTime(thisFilePath & "" & thisFileName) FileSpecBuffer.AddRow() FileSpecBuffer.FileName = thisFileName FileSpecBuffer.FullPath = thisFilePath & "" & thisFileName FileSpecBuffer.CreateDate = thisFileDate End Sub End Class
When I debug the package, I get the following error:
The collection of variables locked for read access is not available at this point.
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponent.get_ReadOnlyVariables()
at ScriptComponent_67311120e6eb4162a3ea1f70847f04de.ScriptMain.CreateNewOutputRows()
at ScriptComponent_67311120e6eb4162a3ea1f70847f04de.UserComponent.PrimeOutput(Int32 Outputs, Int32[] OutputIDs, PipelineBuffer[] Buffers)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponentHost.PrimeOutput(Int32 outputs, Int32[] outputIDs, PipelineBuffer[] buffers)
My googlefu fails me at reconciling this. I have read various posts about changing the line ReadOnlyVariables("filename").Value to ReadWriteVariables("filename").Value, and handling the buffer assignment in PostExecute. The problem is that all examples shown are either for Script Component as Destination or Script Component as Transformation. I have tried playing with the Custom Properties in the Script Commponent set the ReadOnlyVariables and ReadWriteVariables, using a PreExecute method, a PostExecute method, all with different errors returning. I'm at a loss here. Could anybody provide me with a simple working example so that I can correctly populate my output buffer in the context of Script Component as Source?
I fully understand that I could just run a Script Task Using System.IO.Directory, and System.IO.File, but I really want to make this package work in the manner I've described. Any help would be appreciated.
All examples I found refer to classes under Microsoft.SharePoint namespace. However, I have the SharePoint CSOM that only gives me the Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client namespace.
I need to read the selected values of a multichoice field, but not sure how to do it with classes in the namespace above.
everthing works, exept the TSQL_x0020_Reference_x0020_Numbe field.
I have few reports under different folders in Report Manager. Is there a way to set the data source for the whole folder rather than each report individually? There is also a folder where reports generate dynamically. Since the report project doesn't exist anymore, I can't set the data source through code. How can I set the data source for the whole folder?
Since 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.
Problem: like in .net or any other language,we can get the file list in a specified folder How we can do this through sqlserver (stored procedure or any thing else) I want to show the file name list(by providing the path of any folder on system) in sql query analyser by running any script for that Thanks........
