Integration Services :: Foreach Loop Container To Load File Which Contains The String
Aug 26, 2015
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 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 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 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.
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.
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?
How is foreach loop container - foreach ADO enumerator performace in SSIS package compares to use of cursors in stored procedures
Is there any articles comparing them
I understand a lot of factors can affect the performance, however what is expected performance for the foreach ADO enumerator loop for large dataset. What is Microsoft recommendation for that - recommended - not recommended (using large datasets - over million records)
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.
in a my SSIS 2012 pkg I'm using a Foreach ADO Enumerator container that reads an object variable in order to get an id value.This identifier is passed as an input parameter to an Execute SQL task to update an Oracle table: if this task fails the id is written on a SQL Server table. After the Execute SQL task execution, with success or failure, the flow go to another task in the container.
When an error occurs for the update on Oracle table, each tasks inside the container are executed but the container fails and the loop ends.I'd like to complete the entire loop respect to the identifiers present in the object variable also if the update operation on Oracle table goes in error.
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 have to import a number of excel spreadsheets. I'm using the classic Foreach Loop inside another Foreach loop approach. The outside loop (Foreach File Enumerator) cycles through the Excel files, while the inside loop (Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator - ExcelSchema - Tables) to cycle through the individual Excel sheets in each file.
Nothing special there; however, for some reason these excel files have some "phantom" tabs that should not be imported. I call them phanton because they show up as an importable tab in a SSSIS import wizard but actually are not listed in the excel file structure (no, they are not hidden tabs, I checked).
My idea is to use a constraint to NOT import those phanton tabs. The name convention should allow me to do that because the normal tabs have the name 'AAAAAAyyyymmdd$' and the phantom tabs show up as 'AAAAAAyyyymmdd$'_xlnm#_FilterDatabase (the line below was captured from the Local Variable window and show one of the phantom tabs name).
I tried using Len (@[User::WorksheetName]) == 17, which corresponds to the length of the normal tabs name ('AAAAAAyyyymmdd$'). However, it does not work. For some reason the portion of the phantom tab name after the ending single quote (_xlnm#_FilterDatabase) appears to be ignored.
I tested with a number of different expressions, including reversing the variable, to no avail. It seems that internally just the standard name between quotes is what the constraint sees.
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.
Sorry that I open a new thread again but I didnt found any good tutorials about foreach loop container. I would like to read every row from one table and do something. I red something about sql task Can someone give a little instruction, please?
I using data flow task to import from flat file to database but i need to use Foreach Loop Container to import multiple files in specific folder and all will be insert in the same table
Can anyone point me to an example of using a ForEach Loop Container to step through the rows in a recordset. I cannot seem to see how this is done from the help files.
Currently the ForEach Loop container is set to loop over the entire collection of records in my table, but I only need to loop thru the records where the status = x. How is that possible? Can I use expressions to set the enumerator to do something like this. Basiclly the collection values are used for further processing, and I would like to avoid looping thru records which have been processed already, which means they already have a status set to y. Please let me know. Thanks.
My Foreach Loop container has 10 different task inside. I want to execute the first task only one time. I have a variable with increases for each repition. How can I put precedence contstraint on the first task so that it should execute only first time and other task has to execute all the time.
With a ForEach container, configured to loop through files in a directory, if I have a problem with a file.. can I direct the loop to skip on to the next file?
I'm processing structured files, first record of each is some header info, body records are in the middle, and then the last record is a trailer containg a checksum
So, for each file in the directory, I split the records into three raw files, one for header rec(s) , one for body recs and one for trailer recs. (based on line numbers and using a conditional split to direct the records)
Then I start by processing the header recs in a dataflow.. if all goes well there I move on to the next dataflow to process the body recs from the DataRecs raw file.. etc...
I would like to do some validation at each processing step.. if a header rec fails validation say... then I'd like to just stop processing that file and move onto the next file...
Now, I don't see my validation throwing an exception... so its more that I'd decide (maybe using an Audit ) that the header doesn't pass validation.. then I'd like to put a record in an error table (with info about filename, source etc, not just content of the current data row)
But not sure what approach to take on this...
If there is an appropriate section in BOL please point me at it...
I am having hard time with foreach loop container. The for each loop container in my package goes over all the rows in a ADO enumerator recordset variable and shows row values one by one in message box. The problem is that it just keeps printing the first row infinitely. Could anyone tell me what could be wrong?
Dear All! I have a "Foreach Loop Container" to search files in a folder. And I only want to search .txt and .txt.gz file. I set property "FileSpec" as "*.txt,*.txt.gz" but my container dont run. Can you help me? Thanks
Another classic example of something silly I must be doing
I have a "Foreach Loop Container" which uses a "Foreach ADO Enumerator". The object source is a recordset variable.
Inside the "Foreach Loop Container", a lot of things are happening - some Execute SQL Tasks, Send Mail Tasks, Script Tasks and also a couple of Sequence Containers.
Now, I am getting 2 records in the recordset, but, the "Foreach Loop Container" executes just once.
I would like to loop through a folder and then log the folder's content, as in the names of the files, into a database like all the events get logged. Here is what i have done. I put some files into the folder c: emp made a loop through it, set up a variable 'temp' scope is the foreach loop, set the variable raisechangedevent to true. I have also confgigured the loop to put the result of the looping, in the temp variable in the variable mappings tab.
Strangely nothing is recorded into the "execution results" when i test run the package ? Do i need to make a event handler for the onvariablevaluechanged event for the foreach loop container to be able to get the value of the variable logged or is there something other that i'm missing ?
I have a problem using SSIS since I was a beginner, the problem is I have to do some data transform from flat files into database. These flat files come from many branches of my office with the file structure like this D:SSISranch_nmfile_nm.txt, in folder SSIS there are many branch_nm folder and each branch_nm folder contains many flat files.
My idea was grab the branch_nm folder into array variable using Script Task and then loop this array variable using ForEach Loop Container to get the file and using it for Flat File connection, but I don't know the way to do it.
May this idea work out for sure ?? How to use array variable, that we previously defined inside Script Task, in ForEach Loop Container ?
I've got a Foreach loop container which uses a Foreach ADO Enumerator and works fine.
But problem comes when I launch inside the general loop another Sql Task (select) which sometimes has rows and sometimes hasn't. When it have rows everything is fine the workflow follows fine but when it has not.
I obtain this error (obvioulsy)
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "GZon": "Single Row result set is specified, but no rows were returned.".
My requirement is I have to read 2 sets of files from a folder. For example, I have to read all files starting with either 'a' or 'b' only. In 'Foreach Loop', if I say 'a*,b*', it is not working. Instead of comma (,), I tried colon, semi-colon and pipeline characters also. It is not working. So I am using 2 loops now. But I would like to know is there any way to do it using a single loop?
