Integration Services :: For Each Loop Container Is Not Picking Up CSV Source File
Jul 2, 2015
My package is having .csv file as a source and I kept OLEDB destination to load it.
Stored the .csv file in a shared folder and the exact path is given in Enumerator configuration of the foreach loop container. When I execute my package, it is giving the warning as below:
It is saying that file is not there in the specified path and directory is empty. I am running the SSIS package from TFS. I am sure that I have read and write access for the shared folder for my userID. Is there any access there to pick up this file from path.
In my SSIS package I am using Foreach loopcontainer to load multiple flat files.
Now my requirement is that I want to load only those file which contains %vendor%.In source folder I have many files but I am interested in to load only those file which contains the string %vendor% in file name.
I have used for-each loop container for loading excel sheet contains multiple sheets with same structure. It is loading data into SQL table even there is no data in sheets.
I use a ForEach Loop Container in a ssis Package. The package has to look up in the directory 'f:ackups' for backupfiles and copy them into another folder.In my development environment it works fine. But if I run it on the SQL-Server with the SQL-Server Agent, the package logs always that the folder ist empty.Unfortunately the message is always 'empty folder' even if I define 'f:labla' as folder that actually not exists!
As filespecification I tried both *.* and *.bak .My assumption is, that the SQL-Server agent has not enough rights for that folder. But on the other side the agent is able to create backup-files in this folder.The SQL-Server Agent works under netservice control.
I have a requirement to load multiple flat files in target table .
I have created the package which used to load files into target table using For each loop container.
But now requirement has been changed now I have to take only those files from table where status="Success" and max JobId. By the query I am to get those records which need to load into table.
Below query I am using to get the files which need to load.
select [JobLogKey],[SrcNm],[DestNm] FROM [ConfigRep].[dbo].[JobLog] Where [JobId]= (Select Max(cast([JobId] as Int)) Jobid FROM [ConfigRep].[dbo].[JobLog] Where [JobStat]='Success')
I have to load using above 2 files which are under SrcNm. I have created one variable called FileToLoad as Object and mapping to result set of above query. I have create JobId,SrcNm and DestNm variable to catch the record at every loop. I have created 2 For each Loop container
Below screen shot of outer Foreach loop. Till here Its working fine. Inner for each loop container not executing any task under that. How to get it done.
I have a for each loop(ADO Enumerator) container which executes for each Advertiserid which is coming from database. In for each loop I have to create a new excel file with the advertiser name. So if the loop executes 7 times there should be seven excel spreadsheets with seven advertiser names.
How can i create an excel dynamically in the foreach loop container.
I am having a challenge to pass the filename variable from SSIS Foreach Loop Container to SQL store procedure. I have an "Execute SQL Task" inside "Foreach Loop Container" which will receive the input filename parameter passed by the Foreach Loop Container. The store procedure command line is defined as "EXEC sp_mySQLStoreProcedure ?" within the "Execute SQL Task". The Foreach loop container will gather the filenames from File System then put it in the filename variable one by one. I would like to pass the filename variable as the input parameter to the sp_mySQLStoreProcedure in the "Execute SQL Task". How can I connect the variable and the store procedure so that it will process all the input files gathered by the Foreach Loop Container?
In order to update an Oracle table target from a SQL Server table source I need to use a Foreach Loop Container, so I can loop on the rows of the SQL Server table source. This source table has two columns: the old identifier to update and the new identifier to apply. I must use the value of the old identifier to filter the Oracle rows to update, while the new identifier is the new value to assign to the filtered old identifier.
I already know how to use the Foreach Loop Container when it is necessary to loop on an unique column of a table/view (using an object variable, using a Foreach ADO enumerator, etc.), but I need to loop on two columns.
I think I found a bug or something, I have created a package like this
For Loop Container
OLE DB source, Sql Variable the query is an openquery with an MDX query Script Component (just ToString("+00,-00") transformations) OLE DB destination End loop
the MDX query is changed within the variable which is evaluated as expression.
when I run that package the process msmdsrv.exe starts consuming more and more memory. I don't know if it's the analysis services cache that gets bigger or something else. but if it is, how do I clear it in SSIS?
just in case, the mdx query goes like this:
select {[Datos Resumen Mensual]}
on columns,
[Cuenta].[Cuenta].&[variable1]:[Cuenta].[Cuenta].&[variable2] on rows
from [Bd Rtd]
WHERE ([Tiempo].[Mes].&[2007-09-01T00:00:00],[Unidad Negocio].[Unidad Negocio].&[1])
Hello, I'm new at Integration services and I have an excel file with information in several worksheets. I want to loop through some specific sheets to retrieve the data and save it in a database table. I know how to retrieve the data from one sheet, but I don't know how to do it for several sheets. Any ideas?...I would appreciate any help.
Hi there, I believe this is simple requirement but to me it seems to be complicated. My data source is excel. I would like to configure the path of my data source in SSIS Package and file name is not a constant value. SSIS package should pick the file named as Today's (current) date from the configured path. As well, package should catch the exception for example file not found and log into custom log. It would be gr8 if some body helps me out.
I have created a File System task which is contained in a Foreach Loop Container. I have .bak files that are populating a directory from a maintenance backup plan.
There is a point where I need to delete the .bak file's after I've zipped them all up.
How do I set the SourceVariable to read through the directory and pick up just the .bak file's in the directory to delete.
I am trying to move files from one directory to anonther using the For Each Loop Container and a File System Task. However, on the FIRST iteration of the ForEach Loop the variable that I am setting to the 0 index of the For Each Loop is returning me a valid directory with no file ( path only ) from who knows where ????
On the second iteration of the For Each Loop everything works as expected and I get the full path and file name and it iterates through all the files in the directory o.k.
So I have had to put a Hack to skip the fist iteration of the loop and then execute the File Task on the second iteration but I dont see anyone else doing this.
Where in the heck is it getting this odd directory from on the fist iteration ( its not my User varible because I am initializing it to \nowhereofile ). What am I doing wrong?
I want to design an SSIS package that loads data from files into SQL Server and I want to automate the process. My major issue is that the source file doesnt come in the same format. Some times I comes in either .csv , .xls , .txt or even .rpt file format. Is there a way I can write a code that checks through my folder and based on the available format on the folder it loads the value in ssis.
I want to set up a Foreach loop container to loop through several flat files. I have a connection manager set up for individual flat files. The metadata for the files is all the same. They are fixed width files, and contain sixty five columns.
I didn't see a place in the container properties to configure the metadata of the files. How can a Foreach Loop Container 'know' the metadata of the flat files that I want to loop through?
Is it possible to use multiple masks in a For Each File Loop container?
I need to process "*.txt" and "*.csv" and tried to separate them with all the usual characters("," ";" etc.) but it does not seem to work. I don't want to create 2 or more containers for each mask.
I am trying to write a SSIS to distribute files to our client directories. In my source directory ( C:ClientPending ) i have a variable amount of file with variable file names and extensions. I need to sort these and place then in to different cient direcories. Each file name will contain the clients Referance Number ( ie Q123456.007 , A123456.exe, S123456.523 etc ). this clients directory would be C:ClientOutbound123456
Im presuming that i need a for loop container and a system file task, and a variable that i can parm in the ClientRef, i just dont know how to configure it.
I have a package from SQL Server 2008 R2, that loads data from .xlsx file to database table.There are total 15 columns and 14000 rows in the .xlsx. The package runs fine in BIDS. But the same package in SQL Agent fails with error "omponent "Excel Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_ISBROKEN".
When I tried to run the package by deleting the half of the records for first 7000 rows it ran successfully in agent. Then the second half (last 7000 rows) also succeed from agent job. So, there is no issue with the data/datatypes.The agent job is able to run with record upyo 11000 rows in .xlsx. When I am running for 12000 rows it is failing.Is there any problem with the number of records in .xlsx or size through SQL Agent?
I am running the package from a Proxy account in sql agent job.
ERROR: Error: Executed as user: PROXY_ID. Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 10.50.6000.34 for 32-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 2010. All rights reserved. Started: 10:36:09 AM Error: 2015-08-10 10:36:10.87 Code: 0xC0202009 Source: XX Connection manager "Excel Connection Manager 1"
I'm trying to import a flat file source into a SQL Server table.
The flat file is pipe-delimited and text qualified with " (double-quotes).
The import job is failing because there is a "comments" field in the flat file and there are carriage returns within some records in the "comments" field. When SSIS encounters a record with a carriage return within that field, it sees the carriage return and assumes the end of the record, even though the field is text qualified with " ".
The actual error message I see is: "
Error 0xc0202055: Data Flow Task 1: The column delimiter for column "comments" was not found. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)
Sample Record: "418186"|"94"|"Staff Only-Minimum charge out of 3 hours Plus travel & accommodation costs (if required) – at cost.
All trauma response services & associated fees/costs are required to be formally authorised by the Company prior to delivery."|""|"690"|""
I can't think of a way to get SSIS to ignore the carriage returns within the Comments field in the source flat file!
I am working to archive some old data from a data warehouse using SQL server and SSIS. The data will be read and denormalized, then shipped out to a delimited text file.
The rowcount of the incoming data is significant, call it 10M+ rows per unit of work (one text file).
There are development advantages of using a stored proc for the data source - mainly ease of changing the denormalization logic as required. Wondering if there are performance advantages of an embeded query for the data source instead?
It was mentioned by one developer that when using a stored procedure, the output stream from the proc and subsequent SSIS steps cannot start until the full procedure processing is complete; i.e. the proc churns out its' result set in one big chunk.
He hinted that an embedded query does not have this same effect, but I am not sure that is accurate.
I have implemented a package to load multiple files to a destination. Since the source was a txt file, i have created as flat file source. However now we are getting files in excel format as well.
Is there anyway the source gets changed dynamically based on the file extension, output of the foreach file enumerator? I can think one solution to have 2 dataflow tasks based on precedence constraining and expression one is for .txt and other one is for .xls.
I have (6) sequence containers, each with a data flow task and script task. The script task renames the file and the data flow uses an OLE DB Source connection to export to a flat file using the Flat File Destination connection.For sI have been unable to move from the 1st sequence container to the 2nd (and the next and so on...). I am trying to do this "on success" (on failure I generate an email notification within each container), but am apparently missing a piece to this because after the sequence container executes, which it does successfully, nothing happens.
I am having a sql query task to fetch a maximun number. Example output : 102. After that I have a for each container to return files from a particular location. Files in the location are for example KAS.JN.101, KAS.JN:102, KAS.JN.103, KAS.JN.104. I want to lpop over only the files which have the ending greater than the maximum number returned from the sql query. In this case, the for each container must only loop over 103, 104. Chow to pass this condition to the container ?
I have a sequence container in my Package and this sequence has more than one control flow tasks.
Can I create the checkpoints such that only the failed component inside the sequence container runs again and not the other successful components/tasks in the sequence container?
If i place a loop container inside a sequence container the connectors within the loop container disappear.... is this a bug - will the loop tasks still run in the correct order?? or will they fire off willy nilly??
Getting Access Denied To FileName Error When Using the Execute Sql Task (With File Connection) into a Foreach Loop Container.
Please Note :
I have a folder containing .sql files. I have to dynamically loop through the files and send them as a File connection Folder to the Execute Sql Task.
When I run this Package I am getting the follwoing error :
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path 'C:ProjectsFuzzy Lookup DataFlow ExampleScripts' is denied.".
Also I have logged in to the machine as Administrator and to Sql Server with sa.
