Import Xml Files
Jul 4, 2007I have created a stored procedure to handle xml data.
One of the inputs to this procedure is xmldata which is basically the contents of the xml in a file.
Now I would like to create a SSIS package that takes the xml files from the network and uses this SP.
Should I have a file system task inside a for loop container?
How do I get started on this please?
Thanks

Import Multiple Txt Files
Sep 3, 2007I have 8GB of text files which are basically log files from the past few years.
There is 24 text files per directory which are labeled for every day (so they are not all in 1 folder).
It would make reading them much easier if I could import them to SQL but I only seem to be able to import 1 at a time? (with the wizards :eek: )
Surely there is a way to mass import without all the costly applications that google searches give me?
cheers :P
Import Files Do Not Exist

Nov 4, 2014I have a script which imports the contents of a csv file from our CRM system and updates a table in my database. This works OK but the problems I have are that a) sometimes there is more than one file in the folder, and b) that I wish to move any csv files that have been imported into an archive folder. The csv files arrive with a time/datestamp and I currently rename them manually to FREXPORT before importing (the name is in the format FREXPORT_20141101_1217.csv).How do I:
1) get it to process the file without me having to manually rename the file(s) each time,
2) if there is more than 1 file in the folder process all the files and 3)move the correctly processed files to an archive folder which is: importarchive?
Ultimately, I would like the script to be run as a scheduled job, so it also has to deal with the fact that sometimes there will be no files to import too.

Import Of SPSS-files
Jun 4, 2007Hello
i'm trying to find out if SSIS is a right toolbox for importing of many SPSS-files into the large market research data warehouse.
A simplified version of SPSS-datasheet looks like this:
- many columns (up to 3000). some of them are interview attributes (InterviewID, Date, etc.) and variables, representing survey questions
- relative few rows with "cases" or "interviews"
- in cells there are answers to the questions (in columns) by respondent (in rows)
As first step i would like to unpivot the dataset in the following way:
- Pass-Through: all interview attributes, that shouldn't be unpivoted
- Input Columns: rest 2990 columns
- Destination Column: Question
- Pivot Key Value Column Name: Answer
It works allright, except that i has to manually define destination column for all 2990 input columns, which takes a lot of time (multiplied by the number of SPSS-files i want to import). Is there a way to automate this (default value for destination column and/or scripting?)
Many thanks for your help!

Import Csv Files To Sql Server Problem
Sep 5, 2007Hi,
I try to import csv files to Sql Server using .net. The code is as following:
string strCsvConn = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=;Extended Properties='text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited(,)';";
using (OleDbConnection cn = new OleDbConnection(strCsvConn))
{
string strSQL = "SELECT * FROM " + strFileName;
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(strSQL, cn);
cn.Open();using (OleDbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
// Bulk Copy to SQL Server
using (SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(strSqlConn))
{
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = strSqlTable;
bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dr);
}
}
}
And the data is as following (simplified):
Model,Serial
AFICIO 3045,K9464900965
AFICIO 3045,K9464900932
Fax 5510L,A3761290041
Fax 2210L,A4978800008
AFICIO 3025,K8565201014
AFICIO 3025,K8565102398
The result of the 2nd column is: 9464900965, 9464900932, null, null, 8565201014, 8565102398 - either the first character is missing or the whole entry is missing.
One more weird thing is that some other files work fine, though I am not able to tell any difference between them.
Any idea is hoghly appreciated.

Import Excel Files Realtime
Nov 6, 2007Hi,
Using SSIS, I am successfully importing data from excel files into a table in sql server 2005.
These excel files are ALWAYS open and are being updated from external sources i.e. third party tools.
After doing alot of investigations, I have reached the conclusions as follows:
When the excel files are NOT being updated, then the ssis package works
BUT when the excel files are being updated, then the ssis package does not work. The error is:
[Excel Source [749]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009. There may be error messages posted before this with more information on why the AcquireConnection method call failed.
Please note that the excel files MUST be open so that they get updated by the third party tool.
AND, every few minutes i.e. 5 mins, my ssis package should import these excel files.
Question:
How is it possible to load the excel data while it is being updated by external third party.
Thanks
