Incrementally Processing New Files

Sep 21, 2006

Hi,

I'm just starting to learn SSIS and would like some advice on how to handle something I encounter frequently. I often have to connect to a remote FTP site which contains a large number of files. Each day a number of files are added (old files are not purged). So each day I need to download all files which have been added since last time I checked, store on a file server, then load to a SQL database.

I've written a DataFlow using a script which generates a list of files and dumps to a raw file and doing the same for FTP directory listing wouldn't be too hard - I could then feed these into a third DataFlow to work out what the new files were, then a third to download the files to a temp directory etc.

But is there a cleaner way of doing this (I'm not adverse to scripting or even writing my own components - but for maintainability reasons I'd like to keep this as "out of box" as possible)? How are other people approaching this task?

Analysis :: Dynamic Values In XMLA To Incrementally Update Cube Processing

Nov 10, 2015

I am trying to incrementally update a Cube to get near real time data for the end users. Currently we have a Sql server agent Job that does a FullProcess on the Cube. The Cube consists of a single Measure group which is simply one named query containing inner joins of all the dimensions and fact tables in the underlying relational database. The end users have a lot to upload during the day and they would like us to refresh the cube (near real time) to ensure the adjustments are loaded so that they could reconcile their daily PnLs. We have a MeasureId added which is an auto increment column in the Measures table.

I am trying to schedule the below XMLA query in Sql server agent Job and schedule it to run every 15mins or even less (if possible). However it seems to be not working and keep throwing all sorts of errors.

DECLARE @LastMeasureId AS INT, @myXMLA nvarchar(max)
SELECT @LastMeasureId = "[Measures].[Maximum Measures Id]" FROM
OpenRowset(
'MSOLAP',
'DATA SOURCE=L68F728326574; Initial Catalog=GMDR;',
'SELECT NON EMPTY {[Measures].[Maximum Measures Id]} ON COLUMNS FROM [GMDR]');

[Code] ....

Processing Files With Timestamp

May 8, 2007

hi guys,

i have a unique problem here.i get four different type of flat files,which i need to pick up and process parallelly,this i am doing using four different foreach containers for the four load process as i can get multiple files ( i had other issues like rollback etc for using forecah containers).

my problem is,my input file names will have format like this
yyyymmdd_salesdataforproduct_yyyymmdd_hhmmss.txt



here the first date is bussiness date and the second one is the sysytem date..if i get multiple file i have to proceess considering the second date.but by default the foreach loop is considering the first date,what can i do to ensure that only second is used to process my files.



thanks in advance

Processing Multiple Unzipped Files

Feb 26, 2008

The requirement is to process two zip files in turn.

Each zip will contain either 1 or 2 csv files, but both zips will contain the same number of csv files. The structure of the csvs inside the zips is identical.

I have set up a Foreach Loop container with a File Enumerator to look for *.zip files. The zip file name is successfully retrieved into my 'Zipfile' user variable, and I use this in an Execute Process task to unzip the zip file. So far so good.

However what I now need is to get hold of the name(s) of the csv file(s) that have been unzipped, and use those in my flat file connection strings.

I considered trying to use a nested foreach loop, the outer loop enumerating the zips, and the inner enumerating the csvs. However this is no good because if 2 csvs are present, I need them both available in the control flow at the same time as they need to be merged together.

I'm sure there's a way to do this in SSIS but I'm struggling to identify it. Anyone got any ideas at all?

Thanks guys

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Separate Data Files / Log Files / TempDB / Backups

Jan 9, 2015

I proposed on a new server that we separate Data Files, Log Files, tempDB, Backups, etc. onto separate LUNS on a SAN with High Speed Solid State Drives.I was told that with the new technology with solid state SAN's that it would decrease performance and that it did not work the same way as it did when you had RAID 5's etc.I thought that if things were cared out correctly by a SAN Administrator they would know how to configure for optimal performance.

Script Task: How To Compare Files On FTP With Existing Files In Local Folder Before Transfer!

Apr 24, 2008

In the first step of my SSIS package I need to get files from FTP and dump it/them in a local directory, but it's more than that, the logic is like this:
1. If no file(s) found, stop executing and send email saying no file(s) found;
2. If file(s) found, then compare it/them with existing files in our archive folder; if file(s) already exist in archive folder, stop executing and send email saying file(s) already existed, if file(s) not in archive folder yet, then transfer it/them to the local directory for processing.

I know i have to use a script task to do this and i did some research and found examples for each of the above 2 steps and not both combined, so that's why I need some help here to get the logic incorporated right.

Thanks for the help in advance and i apologize for the long lines of code!

Is It A Good To Replace SQL Script Files With XML Files?

Jul 23, 2005

I am thinking about replacing the INSERT data scriptfiles that I have with XML files. This way I can open the XMLfile using an XML Editor and see the values in a GRID andmake changes easier.Do you see any problem with this approach?I managed to put together some code that is exportinga SQL table with its data to an XML file and also a codethat reads the XML file's data and inserts it into a table.Now I am researching on XSD, td:datatype, DTD...(I am new to XML) in order to figure out how I canuse a single xml file that will hold both the sql serverfields, the datatypes and their values.If you have links to some sample code that has anythingto do with the datatype export and import I am workingon, can you please share them with me?Most importantly what do you think about the idea of usingXML files vs sql scripts?Thank you

XML Processing

Mar 27, 2008

Hey All,

I've got a process that creates records in my database based on XML input that I've gotten. What I am doing it giving this XML to a stored procedure to handle a specific task, then modify the XML and send it to the next stored procedure.

For instance, the XML could hold header records with detail records, I would first send the XML to a stored procedure that creates the header records, then updates the XML so the XML now knows the identity values of the header records I have just created, and then send the XML to the next stored procedure to create the details for those headers.

All works great and fine, but I have a problem with writing the identity values back to the XML. It seems I can only change one item in the XML at a time and thus need to loop this. For many records this really takes a long time.

Here is some sample code of what I'm doing (please excuse any typos, this is a simplified version of the code) :

declare @lvSeq numeric(15)
declare @lvRowNo int
declare @lvNumRows int

insert into myHeaderTable (
recid, recdesc
) select
ref.value('@recid', 'nvarchar(25)') recid,
ref.value('@recdesc', 'nvarchar(250)') recdesc
from @pXML.nodes('//headers/header') R(ref)

select @lvRowNo=1, @lvNumRows = @pXML.value('count(//headers/header)', 'int')
while (@lvRowNo<=@lvNnumRows) begin
select @lvSeq = recseq
from myHeaderTable
where recid = @pXML.value('//headers/header[position()=sql:variable("@lvRowNo")]/@recid)

set @pXML.modify('replace value of (//headers/header[position()=sql:variable("@lvRowNo")]/@recseq with sql:variable("@lvSeq")')

select @lvRowNo=@lvRowNo+1
end


Obviously I am looking for a better way to update the XML with the sequences. The insert takes a second, the loop takes minutes with large XML sets. I guess MSSQL is searching the whole XML to find the item to update.

It would be nice if I didn't have to loop through the XML. One solution I was thinking off is to store the XML in a temporary table with a single record per header item. Then I could do the modify in one go and recreate the XML by simply selecting the contents of the temporary tabel. I have no idea if this is possible.

So something like this:

select
ref.value('@recid','nvarchar(25)') recid,
ref.value('.','XML') XMLData -- this gives an error
into #TMP_XML
from @pXML.nodes('//headers/header') R(ref)

insert into myHeaderTable (
recid, recdesc
) select
recid,
ref.value('@recdesc', 'nvarchar(250)') recdesc
from #TMP_XML CROSS APPLY XMLData.nodes('/header') R(ref)

update #TMP_XML
set XMLData.modify('replace ....')
from myheadertable
where #TMP_XML.recid = myheadertable.recid

-- recreate XML here, not sure how....

Row Vs Column Processing Help!!

I usually go by row wise processing as it can be easily controlled but the problem is there will be a lot of reports, that is an estimation of 30,000 rows in a month and i m not sure if sql server can hold more than 2 billion rows per table.

Regarding Records Processing???

Mar 1, 2006

Hi…all

I will just explain whole scenario what I m facing in tricky problem..

We have xml files coming at regular interval by some other source into sql server 2000…daily having records near @10000 to 70000…we have job scheduled to run it regular interval…we doing this by some filter criteria… suppose the flow is like staging table into secondary table and then final into primary table….
We design DTS package accordingly means take the records from staging table put into secondary table and then into primary table…(near @ 8 task involved in it…)
Suppose xml file came at 8:30 am and our DTS package will run at 9:00 am…and then 11:00 am and the 1:00 pm like that….what I observing from many days is that after running job at 9:00 am successfully some good data still pending in secondary table not processed into primary table. But when again job ran at 11:00 am it processed that pending good records into primary table…some times when I ran this job manually through DTS design level the good data that pending in secondary table processed!!!

My question is that why this job not processed all the good records in single shot????

Processing Dataset As A Whole, And Not Per Row

Sep 20, 2007

Which component should be used to process dataset as a whole, and not on per row basis? I have need to process dataset conditionally (condition based on dataset), e.g. if a special row is present in dataset than dataset should be processed in a special way. Should I maybe use one Script Transformation to determine if dataset satisfies condition (and store that result into a variable), and then based on that condition (variable value) perform or not processing (using Conditional Split and Script Transformation)?

Need Help With Row By Row Processing In SSIS

Feb 28, 2007

Hello all,

I am having trouble trying to construct the following process in SSIS/SQL
2005:

1. Grab a set of unprocessed rows (ProcessDT = null) in an 'Action' table
2. For each of these rows, execute multiple stored procedures base on the
action type
If actiontype = 1, exec spAct1a @param1, @parm2
exec spAct1b @param1, @parm2, @param3, @param4
If actiontype = 2, exec spAct2a @param1, @parm2, @param3
exec spAct2b @param1, @parm2, @param3
etc....
3. Update ProcessDT so it's not processed again
4. Repeat until all rows are processed

Note - all sp params are contained in additional columns in the Action
table. Basically the Action table is a store for post-event processing of
sorts
but is order dependent, hence the row by row processing. And some of my
servers are 2000 so Service Broker is not an option (yet).

I first attempted to do this totally within the control flow - using an ado
recordset/foreach loop control, but I could not figure out how to run
conditional
process paths based on the ActionTypeID. I then tried to do this within the
dataflow using on OLEDB data source, a conditional split, and an oledb
command control
which almost got me there - the problem being for each row I need to execute
multiple sp's and it appears as if the oledb command only gives me one sp.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Processing One Row At A Time

Jul 11, 2007

I'm populating a new table based on information in an existing table. The new table is a list of all "items" and contains a primary key. The old table is a database of receipts where items can appear many times in any order.



I have put together the off-the-shelf components to do this, using a lookup transformation to see if the item is already in the new table. Problem is, because there's so much repetition in the old table I need to process the old table one row at a time. Batch processing is generating errors because the lookup doesn't detect duplicates within the buffer.



I tried setting the "DefaultBufferMaxRows" property of the task to 1, but that doesn't seem to have any effect.



To get the data from the old table, I'm using an OLE DB source. To get the data into the new table, I'm using the OLE DB Command transformation with parameters to execute an INSERT statement.



This is a job I have to do exactly once, so I don't care if I have to run it overnight. I'd rather have a simple, easy to understand but inefficient script so I understand what it's doing completely.



Any help on forcing SSIS to process one row at a time?

Processing Time

Sep 25, 2007

Hi,



I am verifying my reports processing time. I get the information from the Reporting Service DB - [ExecutionLogs] table. I have the following information:



[TimeEnd] €“ time that reports generation ends.

[TimeStart] - time that reports generation starts.

[TimeDataRetrieval] - amount of time spent running the data sources.

[TimeProcessing] - time spent processing the report.

[TimeRendering] - time spent generating the output format.



If this information is correct the following statement should be true:



([TimeEnd] - [TimeStart]) = ([TimeDataRetrieval] + [TimeProcessing] + [TimeRendering])



But it isn't, ([TimeEnd] - [TimeStart]) is always bigger then ([TimeDataRetrieval] + [TimeProcessing] + [TimeRendering]).



Why does this happen?



Regards,


Rodrigo

Lot And Fifo Processing In Sql

Feb 12, 2008

I need help from sql experts for the following problem

DOCTYPE DATE QTY PRD LOT
Purchase 1 jan 20+ AA 2007FW
Purchase 4 jan 50+ AA 2007SS
Purchase 9 jan 10+ AA 2007FW
Sale 3 jan 10- AA
Sale 4 jan 20- AA
Returned Good 4 feb 10 AA


As you can see I don't have the LOT code in sales records, so I must update these records with the following logic:

I have to assign LOT code to sales in FIFO order:
from the table above the 3rd of January I find the first sale of 10, take the first LOT (ascending date order), check for qty on hand (20+), consume 10 from LOT (10 remaining), update sale record with 2007FW LOT code.

Then I find next sale of 20, as before I take the first LOT with qty on hand to consume, again it's the first record with only 10 remaining so I set LOT qty on hand to zero but I have 10 more to allocate to a LOT code. So I find next available LOT of 50 and consume 10, with 40 remaining.

It's important to remember that I can sell part of a "lot", have to track the remaining goods per LOT

Is it possible in SQL to do that in batch mode? How? If I have to split sale record consuming 2 or more LOTS, how can I do? Can you show me SQL or good hints?

Thanx in advance

Cube Processing

May 22, 2008



Hi All,

I have 3 cubes in a single SSAS database and these cubes should be processed using the following schedule

Cube 1 - Every Day
Cube 2 - Every Week
Cube 3 - Every Month
Cube 4 - Every Day

The issue that I face is that these cubes share the dimensions and so I cant do a FULL process of these SHARED Dimensions as it will affec other cubes.

I can expect additions and deletions to my dimension data , but the structure remains the same. It would be great if someone can suggest how to go about processing the dimensions. I am confused with the number of options(Process Incremental, Process Update etc.,) available for processing the dimensions.

I will creating a SSIS package to automate the processing. One more question is say, if Cube 2 fails during a day and Cube 1 has succesfully processed on the same day earlier, how do I revert back to the old state of Cube 2? Does this mean that I need to do a back up of the SSAS database before processing each cube?

Apologies if I had missed anything.

Thanks!

Availability During ETL Processing

Dec 5, 2006

Hi,

I am in the midst of designing a new Data Warehouse system. As we get further into the design of the system, the more we are realising how complex our ETL is going to be and that the amount of time it will take to run could be significant i.e. a few days! My question is obviously I don't want to have a down time in my relational system for this long and prevent my users from accessing the data for days at a time each month. So what functionality should I be looking at to allow me to maintain a working copy of the data that users can query whilst I perform database updates and then perform a quick promotion of the updated data to users for querying?

If you can point me in the direction of the right functionality in SQL Server 2005 and possible some relevant white papers that cover this sort of scenario I would be grateful.

regards

Colin

BCP starts copying to table and finished withouterror message.This is my table:CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customer] ([ID] [int] NOT NULL ,[CreationTime] [datetime] NULL ,[ModificationTime] [datetime] NULL ,[DiscoveryTime] [datetime] NULL ,[Name_] [nvarchar] (255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI NULL ,[Class] [int] NULL ,[Subclass] [int] NULL ,[Capabilities] [int] NULL ,[SnapshotID] [int] NOT NULL ,[CompanyName] [nvarchar] (255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI NOTNULL ,[TargetRCCountry] [nvarchar] (255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AINOT NULL ,[LocationID] [int] NULL ,[MirrorID] [binary] (16) NULL ,[DeleteFlag] [bit] NULL ,[AdminStatus] [bit] NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOand this is the format file:8.0131 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 1 ID ""2 SQLDATETIME 1 24 "#~@~#" 2 CreationTime ""3 SQLDATETIME 1 24 "#~@~#" 3 ModificationTime ""4 SQLDATETIME 1 24 "#~@~#" 4 DiscoveryTime ""5 SQLNCHAR 2 510 "#~@~#" 5 Name_SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS6 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 6 Class ""7 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 7 Subclass ""8 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 8 Capabilities ""9 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 9 SnapshotID ""10 SQLNCHAR 2 510 "#~@~#" 10 CompanyNameSQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS11 SQLNCHAR 2 510 "#~@~#" 11 TargetRCCountrySQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS12 SQLINT 1 12 "#~@~#" 12 LocationID ""13 SQLBINARY 1 33 "#~@~#

"13 MirrorID """#~@~#" is the field terminator. We have a lot of text files with allkind of charachers in it. So we think this is a set that will neveroccur in our files.Thanks for your help!*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
