Integration Services :: How To Download Files From Web Page Before Loading Into Server
Oct 26, 2015
How to download files from a webpage before loading into SQL Server tables? I have the following URL and under the Downloads & Resources section, I have different file formats.
By doing hover on the download tab for each file type, I see that there is a link that is associated with it just like the following:
For CSV - [URL] ....
For XML - [URL] ....
The above is just an example for your reference/understanding. In the sample data from the internal website I have, I need to do a similar operation. The only difference would be that I would be having multiple XLS files with a description for each.
<li>
<sub>Sales for Calendar Year 2015--All Countries </sub>
<a href="/Data/Downloads/Documents/Sales/Sales_Quarter1.xlsx">
<sub>[XLS]</sub></a><sub> , <a href="/Data/Downloads/Documents/Sales/Sales_Quarter1.pdf"><sub>[PDF]</sub></a><sub></sub></sub>
</li>
I need to download the file based on the month/quarter every time.
We are using SSIS 2014 and need to download files from sftp. Is there a SFTP control flow task for SSIS 2014? If not then what other options do I have?
I have multiple xml data file in a directory say C:XMLData abc1.xml, abc2.xml, abc3.xml etc.
Need to loop through each file in ssis with Foreach loop container, and get the file name say abc1, and load the data of abc1.xml to abc1 table in sql server DB.
Next iteration will pick up the abc2.xml and find the abc2 table in sql server DB then insert the data in abc2 table.
While each iteration, xml source should also point each xsd file correspondingly.
Tables are already created in DB
I solved my problem up to getting the file name from ech iteration and assigned file name to variable, in oledb destination data access mode I select Table or view name variable, then corresponding table will get selected for data insertation.
Just wanted to know how can I read each xsd file for each xml data files while iteration.
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 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?
I am copying files from one server to another and I have specific format for all jpg files. which is in 3 format
filename_reg.jpg, filename_kat, filename_pag
and I want to copy _reg files only using file system task.I have already created file sytem task using foreach loop and it is copying files but I want to copy only _reg files.
I have outlook 2013 installed on my machine, I want to automate the download of an attachment which I receive on daily basis from noreply@test.com. I have created a rule in outlook to reroute these mails in a specific folder named Received_Test.Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them.
.If record from Detail (Spectrum table) is null then do insert the record into Spectrum table set status_flag to 'A' for active else do update the record (replace all old values with new values) set status_flag to 'A' for active end-if
· If record from Master (Staging table) is null then do soft delete set status_flag to 'D' for delete end-if
I'm new to integration services. I want to create a centralized reporting system for our customers. Some customers have up to 1,000 sites and some are expected to grow past 5,000 sites. The sites are running POS applications and I want to extract the POS sales data from these sites. Is it practical to expect that SSIS can handle the extraction of data from this many sites and load the data into a central SQL database? The POS sales data at the sites is stored in SqlExpress databases but the data is also available in XML format. If it's practical for Integration Services to do this, what frequency is it possible to pull this data? I realize that the amout of data is relative but just wondering if anyone is attempting to do this with integration services. If not with integration services, then what method(s) are available and used to extract data from this many remote sites?
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 load data into destination table, it has foreign key relation to two different tables called person table and organization table . sample data to be loaded is like
person table and organization table doesn't have null values in them, when I try to load this data none of them are laoded, I know either person_id or organization id having null value is failing foreign key constraint. But I want to transfer all the rows except the ones having both nulls. how this can be achieved ?
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.
We run 2012 enterprise. When I open my project on a different machine than the one I used to create the project, I get the following warnings. I'm concerned about 1) checking in source from different machines, 2) what is going to happen when we run this in production. All of the project params are sensitive=false and required = true. The master package stageprototype.dtproj has no pkg params and no configs.
The project's protection level is encryptsensitivewith user key but as far as i know there is nothing sensitive in this collection of master and sub packages. I'm concerened that id I change this to dont save sensitive, I'll be looking for a needle in a haystack, specifically the thing or things ssis thinks are sensitive right now.
Warning 1 Warning loading StagePrototype.dtproj: Warning: Failed to decrypt an encrypted XML node. Verify that the project was created by the same user. Project load will attempt to continue without the encrypted information.
StagePrototype.dtproj 0 0
Warning 2 Warning loading StagePrototype.dtproj: Warning: Failed to decrypt sensitive data in project with a user key. You may not be the user who encrypted this project, or you are not using the same machine that was used to save the project. If the sensitive data is a parameter value, the value may be required to run the package on the Integration Services server.
I have a SSIS package which reads an excel file and loads data into a table using script component(C#) as a source. The package runs without any errors when I manually run it on my machine and on the server. But the package fails when run as a SQL Server Agent job.
I tried all the possible fixes I found on the web but still can't get it to work.
I have a scenario, need to create SQL server Tables dynamically.
I Have multiple xml data file on a particular location, and want to load those XML data into sql server tables, but he metadata of each xml data files are not same.
Hence the approach is that,
1. Pick first file from that location 2. Create a table according to that xml data file metada 3. load data on newly created table. 4. Pickup the next xml data files. 5. loop through, till the XML data files are exists on that location.
I am using Sql Server 2012. I have a table which has a field as Datetime (it is a table in Dynamics CRM 2011 so I have no control of the data type). Say this field is called BisStartDate. If I run this query in management studio.
select BisStartDate, BisStartDateutc from myTable where _bisnumber=10375
I will get:
BisStartDate BisStartDateutc
2014-07-29 00:00:00.000 2014-07-29 05:00:00.000
*in CRM, datetime is saved in 2 fields, one is the current time, the other one is the utc time.
You can see the offset between the datetime and utc is 5 hours.
However when the same statement was running inside a SSIS package on the server, the result returned is:
I will get -5 if I run it in ManagementStudio and -6 is running on server package(running inside VisualStudio will be -5, same as running a query in ManagementStudio).
I think when the record was saved, “date” is 5 hours offset to UTC time but now the system use the current utc offset which is 6 hours. I just want to use the BisStartDate as it is. How do I let the SSIS turn off the conversion.
The same datatime is saved in another system then we compare them to check the data entry. Now because of this one hour difference, sometime the Day will be different.
I've been working on an SSIS package trying to load some data and the archive sequence is faulty. I've been trying to load a few tables created in a previous sequence into a local archive file and I've been getting the error "Could not find a part of the path."
The results aren't telling me what it's finding last and so I don't know where to start.
And the source DOES have data in it. It's something between the source and the destination.
I need to use SSIS to connect to an FTP server. From there I need to download files to a local folder. I need to download only today's files and also on those files starting with Training or Recruitment. I have managed to set up tasks that copy all but I am having such a hard time writing a script using C# that will download using the filters.
I have all this gray space at the top of my tasks. When I <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Left-click> to select all of my tasks and then try sliding it up, it creates even more gray space and actually moves it down. If instead when I <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Left-click> and then <Ctrl>+<Arrow-up> it doesn't move it. Is there any easy way to eliminate all this gray space at the top?
i have multiple folders in a directory and each folder contains multiple files of same extension but with different formats(columns) and names(xmp: file aand file b). We have a data task in which we are joining(merge) both files and loading into table..should i use foreach, but then it takes 1 file at a time and i need the other file also to join it in data flow.
i need to add the double quotes in all the records from start and end.
source data col1 col2 col3 col4 1 abdul this is email it was very good ,and very relative posts. Target data col1 col2 col3 col4 "1" "abdul" "this is email" "it was very good, and very relative posts"
i want to load these three files three different destinations customer file should go one destination table, employee file should go one destination table, student file should go one destination table tomorrow if i get some more files in same folder , those files also should go separate destinations these should happen dynamically.
I'm trying to import data in Excel into SQL Server table which you would think would be an absolute doddle seeing as they're both key Microsoft products in the BI family..One of the columns in Excel spreadsheet is Comments1 and a couple of the values in this column are over 300 characters in length yet when I set up the Excel source and then open Advanced Editor and look at Input and output properties this column has a data-type of Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255 which leads to the truncated error in the title.
I've researched this and on find going into the registry and updating the TypeGuessRows value from 8 to zero. I've done this and yet the data-type is still showing as Unicode string [DT_WSTR] with length of 255. I've even moved the row with the largest number of characters to the top of the spreadsheet and changed the TypeGuessRows value to 1 but the data-type still stays the same.I can't believe that it's soooo difficult to import data from one of Microsoft's key BI applications to another using their 'world-class' integration tool.
I'm using Script Component to load data into Oracle DB due to the poor performance issue. Now, I found it will missing some data during the transmission. Please see the screenshot below:
