Integration Services :: Pulling File Based On File Properties
May 6, 2015
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 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 would like to store the file properties like (title, created by , created time, modified time) and load in to a audit table along with file name. I know how to design this process inside a foreach lookup with script task and execute sql task.
I'm trying to achieve this by editing my existing code which captures the most recent file based on its file properties.
public void Main() { // TODO: Add your code here var directory = new DirectoryInfo(Dts.Variables["User::Csv_Source"].Value.ToString()); FileInfo[] files = directory.GetFiles("*.csv"); DateTime lastModified = DateTime.MinValue;
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.
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.
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 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 ssis package that pull data from SAP (Using ADO.net connection) to SQL server every night but i have noticed that all data from source is not getting pulled by package . package losing some amount of row.
I am trying to pull data from an Oracle Db using SSIS. If I use the Table/View option in the Access Mode option on the OLE DB Source component, it works fine. But when I use the SQL Command option, the processing get stuck at Pre-Execution stage.... (for days).
Is there anyway to send excel file from ssis using send mail task without saving the excel file locally. I need to automate the process which involves loading the excel file from the database and send it to some people.
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
for e: like this
" rowcount: 40 records" ..
i tried placing rowcount transformation in between source and flat file destination..i am able to get all records in file but unable to pull value of variable where i stored row count into that file...how to do that?
I am testing SSIS and have created a Flat File Destination. I defined the Flat File Connection as New for the first time and it worked fine. Now, I would like to go back and modify the Flat File Connection in the Flat File Destination Editor, but it allows only to create a New connection rather allowing me to edit the existing one. For testing, I can go back and create a new connection, but if my connection had 50-100 columns then it would be an issue to re-create it from scratch.

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?
I will be receiving a CSV daily where columns within the file will change. The column order and number of columns can change daily. I need a way to read in the header from the csv and create a flat file connection that reflects the columns listed in the header.
Is there an easy way to do this using a script task? I have already read the header into a table but I have been unable to create the dynamic file connection.
