Normally (I usually program in JAVA), I would print out the variables to see if there is an issue but I haven't figured out how to do that in SSIS yet.I have to set the Connection string for the Flat File conection using the Expressions tab instead of putting the variable in the connection string tab.Now it works but the file that is spitting out is "testFileDSystem.String[]"
I have a simple package to load data from sql server db into a flat file. I have a date field in the source data base (data type DATETIME) when i open the csv file some show the exact time stamp and some records show just the seconds like (00:00:0.7). I used CAST CONVERT bu still the same issue.
I have an SSIS package which takes a SQL Query and generates a PIPE (|) delimited flat file. Simple enough. However, I also need to add a Trailer record at the bottom of the file (footer). To make this happen I could either do a UNION ALL on the same query script or what I've done is to create another query with the Trailer record and using the Merge component simply merged and appended the trailer record at the botton of the actual file.
The issue, however, is that the trailer record is always including extra PIPES at the end of the trailer. According to business, this wouldn't load properly at our vendor side due to the extra pipes in the trailer record as it'll be seen as additional columns.
Is there anyway to get rid of those extra pipes at the end of the trailer?
Trailer record should look like this:
TRAILER|A|B|C|D|
As of now, the appended Trailer record looks like this (additional pipes for each column in the main query script):
I have an SSIS script task using c#. i need to refere an .xsd dataset in the c# code. i tried to set property below.Build action to Content or Compile Copy to output directory Copy always But still i m unable to use the dataset in my code.
Installed the Integration Services to the existing Sqlserver 2005. But I am not seeing the 'Integration Services' in the
SQL Server Management Studio, like the 'SQL Server Agent' in the server. I am not sure what the next step is after installing the 'Integration Services'. Appreciate any help on this. Thanks for your time in advance.
I have a transaction table having about 40 crore rows in source. It don't have timestamp and unique key columns. It have only Bill_month and Bill_Year columns. Actually for loading this table into staging I have added a new datetime column by adding default bill_date as 01. Then
* First we delete last 3 month data from staging tables. * Get last 3 months data from source table. * Load that 3 months data from source to staging table.
We do this because we only get update for last three months data. Now I have to include this transaction table as Fact table in DW. What will be the best practice for loading the fact table by picking data form staging table. Also we have to look up with dimensions for Foreign Keys.
* Should I implement the same method of deleting last 3 months records and loading them again.
I am writing my first custom SSIS task and I can see that, if I put a public property into the task, I see that property in the standard Properties window. If I add a property of type String, I can put a value in that property, in the task code, and when I instantiate the task in a package, I can see the value I entered.
To try and get a drop down list property in the Properties window, I declared a property of type Combobox, and indeed a drop down list appears in that property.
My problem is trying to get values in that property. I have used the test items:
I have a package in which there are only one Data flow Task and it has only three components. 1) Source , which is a SQL db 2) destination and 3) OLE DB Destination flat file Error output file. I want the error file to be created ONLY if there is any error while dumping the data into destination DB. But , the issue is, the error flat file is being created inspite of No error while dumping the data from Source to Destination.
I'm copying files to a folder with the naming convention as follows in the source folder:
CM_ABC_MY_TEST.txt
In the destination folder, this filename needs to appear as:
CM_XYZ_MY_TEST.txt
In my File System Task, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need an expression with a replace, substring, etc. But am having a hard time nailing down the exact syntax.
Need to know how I can get the dynamic filename created in the FlatFile destination for insert into a package audit table?
Scenario: Have created a package that successfully outputs Dynamiclly named flat files { Format: C:Test’Comms_File_’ + ‘User::FileNumber’+’_’+Date +’.txt’
E.g.: Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt etc} using Foreach Loop Container :
* Enumerator Set to: “Foreach ADO Enumerator” with the ADO object source variable selected to identify how many total loop iterations there are i.e. Let’s say 4 thus 4 files to be created
*Variable Mappings : added the User::FileNumber – indicates which file number current loop iteration is i.e. 1,2,3,4
For the DataFlow task have a OLDBSource and a FlatFile Destination where Flat File ConnectionString is set up as:
I have a ssis package where I need to have excel destination. In the Excel file, I need to have few rows with some text and then populate data below the text. One the text is like this:
Data as of: 08/25/2015
if the report ran today, then Data as of will have Yesterday. So, if the user opens that excel file after a week, then user should see same Data as of: 08/25/2015. not today()-day(1).
I was planing to handle on excel side with today()-day(1). but it only works the day it was run. Then the excel file is open after few days later, then it might as Data as of: 08/30/2015 which is not true. It should still stay Data as of:
08/25/2015 on what ever date the excel file is open. The SSIS package runs only once.
How do I handle this so that whenever user open the file, they will see Data as of: 08/25/2015. This is not a column in excel. It is like a description of data in excel.
I am running my package in sql server 2012, in which i am giving network path for flat file destination. And its working fine. But if i give m local path, its giving me error " cannot open data file" ...
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 need to move specific files from a server to another server on a monthly basis. There are hundreds of files that are in the source directory and I need to move approximately 40 of those to the destination server. I would like to easily add or delete the file list as needed. I have seen where several variables were created for for each file name (and one for the path) and the ForEach Loop would go through them. With 40 or more I was thinking that I could make a connection to an Excel spreadsheet or text file with a record for each file name and read in and and move to the next record and make that value become the content of a "FileName" variable. Then if I wanted to add another file name I could just add another record to spreadsheet/text file or remove and the package would handle automatically....
I am trying to create and later read a data file from a package deployed in SSISDB, but it is not reading it while it is successfully creating the file. The same package when run from the file system package, runs successfully. Generating ispac and deploying in SSISDB is running for infinite time. Is it a permission issue?
I have a task for which I have to load csv file from a shared directory into sql table. Right now I'm stuck with a road blocker, The issue is the shared drive contains all the history files as well and I have to pick only the latest file. But I cannot identify latest file based on the file name because it doesn't contain any date in the file name. However by seeing file properties I can pull latest file.
Sample file name: XXX_XXX_XXX_XXX_XXX-5814201.csv
Is there any way we can automate this in SSIS with file properties and picking the latest one?
I am using Sql server 2012. In my project whenever I run the Package individually, it run successfully. But while executing the package through SSIS task, I get the following warning and not able to transfer the data from flat file to DB.
Foreach Loop Container:Warning: The For Each File enumerator is empty. The For Each File enumerator did not find any files that matched the file pattern, or the specified directory was empty.
I have a .xlsx file, in that file I get data from the 3rd row. Using SSIS I am converting .xlsx file into .csv file. I am able to convert it but in the .csv file the data are populating from the first row itself. I want to get data in 3rd row it self.
I have been working on this import for days and I just can't figure this out. All I am trying to do is import a flat csv file into a new table using the default settings in the import tool and it just won't work! I have tried it hundreds of different ways, including saving the package and opening it in BIDS. I am new to SQL and SSIS... Errors are below.

i want to download incremental file from a folder. already existing file information stored in database. we are using SQL server 2008R2 standard edition.
I have a doubt in file system deployment in ssis. I read msdn articles like "MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml" will decide the default folder for ssis packages those are deployed to "File System".
I have installed SQL server 2012 of 64 bit in my system. My "MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml" file was reside in the path"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110DTSBinn". This means when we try to deploy my packages to File System default path should come like "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110DTSPackages".
But in my case path was coming like "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server100DTSPackages" even though my "MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml" reside in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110DTSBinn". i can't able to see my packages in SSMS when i connected to integration services.
I have a requirement in which i need to pull records from a table and load into destination flat file ..and at end of file it should display row count

I've used XML package configuration in my packages in order to populate key variables. The configuration String is pointing to a local folder in my machine. After that, I've checked my whole solution into TFS. I did check the checked in file but could not find the .dtsConfig XML file. The problem occurs when the other teammate checked out this solution from TFS into his own box. When he tried to open the solution, it gives warning (not error though) saying it could not find the package configuration file.machine does not have the same URL I had in my box. In situation like this, how can we fix in the multi-developers SSIS environment?
I have a requirement where I need to pass some parameters using URL and that URL generate CSV file which I need to save to a shared drive.Here is sample URL....where practice, start and end are parameters.I need to automate the process and trigger ULR passing those parameters every month so that CVS file is saved automatically to a shared driver. How can I create SSIS package to that?
