Integration Services :: How To Change Dataflow Source Connection Based On File Extension
May 6, 2015
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.

Hi,
I am using SQL Server2005 for SSIS. I want to change the source connection dynamicaly evertime.
Let me clear, I have to extract some column from excel to MS-Access. I am using Data Flow Task and able to successfully complete the job. But problem is that, whenever a new file comes , i must have to reconfigure my Excel Source.
All the time column in file are same, so no need to worry about mapping but how can my package select a file automatically.
I have a directory, suppose "C:dpak". I should able to pick the filename and sheet name from this directory every time when my package will execute.

I have a got a package with source as sql table which has got 50 columns. We are using only 10 columns out of this. Recently one column name has changed and thus throws error invalid mapping. When I open the source to do the changes noticed that all the colums are prselected now and also the datatypes got changed to default ( I had changed the datatypes as per my requirement while i developed). So now I had to select required columns from source and redo the datatype changes in advanced editor.Is there any option which doesnt disturb this settings and we just need to correct the mapping alone.

Using SSRS 2008R2 is it possible to change the file extension of a CSV data driven subscription? I'm outputting a text file with a .csv extension, but users have access to these files and I don;t want them opened with Excel and then saved back in an incorrect format.
These are the options I have from the report "manage" option.

I've a dataflow task on For Each Loop container at control flow of SSIS package. This For Each Loop container reads the CSV files from the specified location one by one, and populates a variable with current file name. Note, the tables where I would like to push the data from each CSV file are also having the same names as CSV file names.On the dataflow task, I've Flat File component as a source, this component uses the above variable to read the data of a particular file.
Now, here my question comes, how can I move the data to destination, SQL table, using the same variable name?I've tried to setup the OLE DB destination component dynamically but it executes well only for first time. It does not change the mappings as per the columns of the second CSV file. There're around 50 CSV files, each has different set off columns in it. These files needs to be migrated to SQL tables using the optimum way.
Which is the best way to setup the Dataflow task for this requirement?Also, I cannot use Bulk insert task here as we would like to keep a log of corrupted rows.

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 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 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 in between of creating a dynamic SSSIS package which will run for multiple zones having different source connection.My source is in Oracle.I am having 3 DFT with the 3 different source tables.I want to create a package with above DFT dynamically so that my single package can run for the entire zone with dynamically source connection change.I have created a Master table which stores the zone source connection string and zone name. I have 2 different connection.so if in future any new zones come so only newly zone details need to be add in master table without opening the package.

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 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've deployed my ssis pkg to the server and created a sql job to run this pkg. So far, everything is fine. Today, I got a request to change some variables inside the package which is part of the .dtsconfig. I want to edit the deployed .dtsConfig but it won't allow me and always complained that this file has been opened by another program. I am sure i've closed my ssis designer and other notpad, why can't I edit and save .dtsconfig file?

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.

Here is a requirement. Need to update the columns in the tables with the latest values available in CSV.
The file is based on department so the list of tables which is under this department all the corresponding tables needs to updated.
The CSV file which is dynamic in nature the number of columns changes it has header of the columns that needs to be updated.
The destination tables are listed under department table for each department. So I have to update the columns in the tables with the values in csv.

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.

Import.csv file looks like,
TABLE_NAME DESC CODE
tab1 table1 A
tab1 table1 B
tab1 table1 C
tab2 table2 D
tab2 table2 E
tab2 table2 G...
First column values are table names which are already exists in target database. Next two columns[Desc],[Code] data gets populate from CSV file to table.
In this scenario, how to load tab1 data into the same table in destination and so on.
Which way will be more standard to accomplish this task? If its a script task using C#, looking for clear script to identify a value changes in the first column.

protected override void reader(PipelineBuffer buffer)
{
TextReader reader = File.OpenText(_filename);
The komponnet works well. How do I grant permissions to access this text file? Because I got problems when I try to run my package using a task created in the SQL Server Agent.

Hello All,
I am trying to convert an application created using DTS classes to SSIS object model. I have found following code in the application.
For x As Integer = 1 To mTask.Properties.Count
If mTask.Properties.Item(x).Name = "SourceConnectionID" Then
CnID = mTask.Properties.Item(x).Value
Exit For
End If
Next
For x As Integer = 1 To mPkg.DTSPackage.Connections.Count
If mPkg.DTSPackage.Connections.Item(x).ID = CnID Then
Return mPkg.DTSPackage.Connections.Item(x).Name
End If
Next
Return mTask.Properties.Item("SourceObjectName").Value
How can I retrieve or Set "SourceConnectinId", "SourceObjectName" of a data flow task in SSIS
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have problem to extract data from DB2 table using SSIS dataflow task with OLEDB source selecting the data access mode with command. Here is the scenario.(Note:If I select the data access mode as a table then it works fine.)
If I use the data access mode as SQL Command then it is not working. i.e. the flow stays yellow in controlflow nothing happens in dataflow and I noticed the SQL dumper and proc completes. I couldn't find any log to verify the issue including the package execution results.Any of your thoughts will help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks..Mako

Can we disable a flat file connection manager in a ssis package just as how we can disable a OLE db task? When I try to disable the flat file by clicking on work offline its gets disabled which is what i expected , but when i close the package and reopen it again its again enabled , is this the way that a flat file connection manager works.

I'm working in VS 2010 for SSIS 2012. I have a project whose deployment is done via project deployment to SSISDB. I've got a local flatfile connection manager within one of its packages. When I deploy I'm unable to override the file name property in either package configuration or job step configuration on the SQL Server. If the flatfile connection were at the project level, I could. Not sure of the rationale for this or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

URL....I'm having a problem with Integration Services Tutorials SSIS Tutorial: Creating a Simple ETL Package Lesson 2: Adding Looping (step 3).I can't add a variable to Sample Flat File Source Data.Right-clicking on the connection manager just shows two items of the property: File Name and File Path and nothing else.I am using MS Visual Studio Ultimate 2012. Does it have limitations? I've see screenshots where properties of flat file managers have many more options.
