Integration Services :: Unprocessed File Count Variable In SSIS
May 12, 2015
I've been working on an issue in an SSIS package and getting strange results using a package variable named "UnprocessedFileCount". I'm looping through files in a directory (using a Foreach Loop Container) to process data into the database, and after a certain amount of time, I stop processing the files and short circuit the loop to finish the package faster. I was tasked with counting the number of files that weren't processed and it seemed easy enough to count how many times the loop "short circuited" by incrementing a variable in a script task. I then wanted to send out an email and include the incremented variable in the body of the message.
I ran into issues when I used the variable name "UnprocessedFileCount". The variable was incrementing within the loop as expected. However, it was always resetting back to "0" after the ForEach file Loop Container completed.
After some heavy searching on the subject, to no avail, I eventually found that changing the variable name did not reset the variable.

Using the Vb script above I am expecting to read the first row from a flat file source and transferring the data into two variable using script component.
I get the following errors one after the other:"The collection of variables locked for read and write access is not available outside of PostExecute." "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I am downloading a webpage as a text file in order to read a specific string to assign it as a variable/parameter in order to create an output file name. I would like to know how would I be able to look for a specific string and output as another variable for the rest of the package.

To explain it a more better way, I have a sample webpage text here. I should be searching for "FullCountyLoanLimitList" appended by the current year (like FullCountyLoanLimitList2015) and copy the entire file name in the text file and assign it to another variable so that I can download that specific file using WebClient connection.
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?
While handling errors in a flat file I am routing the rows into the excel sheet to business for further processing. I need to send a mail attaching the excel sheet which contains the errored-out/In-Complete definitons. The problem is I need to send a mail if and only if there is at least one row in Excel sheet. How Can I count the rows exist in excel sheet? and send the rowcount to a variable and use that value of a variable to send a mail?
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 have one scenario. I am calling all columns result set to an variable and inside for each loop container using script task to get message about how many columns are coming in the loop.
At last using send mail task to send automated mails to group of people,but issue it is taking only person's mail id and coming out of loop.
I have created one variable name migration_start datetime which give me default format of 6/11/2015 1:26 AM...But I expecting to get in 2015-06-11 01:26:22.813 format.I have used below expression betting getting issue with that
I need to create a variable expression that will be passing yesterday's date to a sql command but when I create the variable there is only the datetime datatype, how can I trim the time portion from this expression to get the date portion :
I've created a SSIS Package and it's connection is based on Environment Variable(please seeprocedure).
Now, I'm trying to create a job that calls this package and it seems that when you view Data Sources, it still pointing to the old server.
But when you open-up the package through BIDS in the same server, it's using the new reference that I have specified in the environment variable (please refer to the first image).
I came across this blog with the same issues as mine. He suggested to re-start the SSIS Service which I already did but nothing happens. I even re-started the SQL Agent but still no luck.
I'm not sure what else is missing except for re-starting the machine which is the last thing I want to do as this is PRODUCTION server.
We have one package in production. variable var_date has an expression already defined to it. How can we overwrite this variable value from config file or from cmd file. We don't want to make changes to the package and redeploy it.
I've a SSIS 2008 parent/child package solution to manage data transfers between two different data sources, so we can copy multiple tables and capture how many rows were transferred and duration for each transfer. This solution was working fine up until last week, when I made some changes to allow the package to perform a source count using standard SQL determined by an expression, or SQL provided from configuration tables, I also changed the package to Truncate or not the destination table, again controlled by configuration settings in a table. The child packages which perform the data flows have not changed!
The day after the controlling package promotion to live, I saw the bizarre behaviour of the Package log stating all rows transferred, but the actual table counts were not what the log stated, see attached file. The package solution works ok on other servers and was ok in DEV, but there were less tables and rows transferred.Re-running the package gave the same errors, but on some of the same tables and some different ones.
As it is the child packages doing the transfers and nothing has changed in them. I cannot see how the log would be able to say all rows are transferred and yet not all of the rows are actually moved?
Process output - where you can see counts and log Table transfer controller (as txt not dtsx)
An example of the data transfer child packages (as txt not dtsx)When I set the ExecuteOutOfProcess = True the package worked fine, unfortunately, this is not a good solution as SSIS 2008 does not tidy up the Dtshost.exe processes it starts and I'd be left with a memory issue after a very short time, we transfer hundreds of tables each day. ( I could write a .net script in the controlling package to kill the child processes, but that would still have hundreds of processes running before I could end them, as we have three parallel streams to allow a bit better performance.

How to pass more than one variable values in ssis as parameter values to ssrs. With the above code its showing as empty.If i am taking single variable i am able to render the data into excel sheet.
How to use variables in Connection Manager's properties? I see some replies through Configuration Package. But what if, it is still in development stage? I mean, can I use the Variable tab and create some variables like
Then put them in Password and UserName property of Connection Manager? If this is possible, how and how can I set the values of those variables I mentioned when I am going to deploy the package in the Production?
I need to do something like this in SSIS:From one SQL table I need to get some id values, I am using a simple sql query:Select ID from Identifier where value is not null.I've got this result:As a final result I need to generate and set a variable in SSIS with the final value:
@var = '198','120','ACP','120','PQU'
Which I need to use later in a odbc expression.How can I do this in SSIS?
My Requirement IS : 1<sup>st</sup>run: if the record does not exist in the table insert the record (file_name, last_modified_file_date) and create a copy in the archive folder with file_name_currentdate.csv
Daily run: retrieve the last_modified_file_date from the input file and check if the retrieved date is greater than the last_modified_file_date in the table:
If true: create a copy of the input file in the archive folder and update the last_modified_file_date in the table with the retrieved date
If false don’t do nothing because the file has been archived in one of the previous runs.I have already retrieving the modified date and File Nae iserting into Filename Table: (That table has 2 columns which are FileName and FileDate) so In script task everytime the variable getting Modified date(retrieve the last_modified_file_date from the input file). How I can Compre the existing table record and variable. I have already imported the all Filenames and Modified into table like below.
I have an Execute SQL Task that saves the results in a variable such as, RecCounts.
I have a Send Mail Task with a message source of: [User::RecCounts]
However, when I run the package I get this error.
Error: Failed to lock variable "[User::RecCounts]" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found.
This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.".
I am trying to insert in table using execute sql task.
I want to pass value of Load_Frequency through parameter
But I am getting below error
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "Insert Into [dbo].[ETL_LOAD_MAIN] ( [Load_Fr..." failed with the following error: "The statement has been terminated.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

I have one package through for each loop container I am loading all flat files into target table and its working fine.Now I my requirement is to capture the .txt file and loading into sqlserver table.Please check below file name.
CCCLOC_DDDLOC_LOC_20151203_240000_trigger.txt
from above file name I have to derived below detail.I have variable @File_Name which is used to stored the file name at rune time.Now I want to derived 5 values from the file name as below
I have a file with a header row which contains the date of the file and under that all the columns without a header.
In SSIS package I skip row and manually name the different columns.
However, I want to use the column in the header row to store the date value in an SSIS variable and use that variable to write it to our staging table. How can I do this when I skip the header row?
As part of my package, i require a date (Only date, not DateTime) which is 10 months previous to get date.Eg: for today if the package executes, then i want 12/1/2014 , which i will use in my package as a filter like 'where date='?' where ? is a paramter which is is derived from the above logic
So, I have a project parameter @ppdate with value as -10. I create a variable with DateTime (because there is NO date type for SSIS) and gives the expression as below
dateadd("Month",@ppdate, DATEADD("D",-(DAY(GETDATE()))+1,GETDATE())) , I am getting '7/1/2011 11:33:38 AM' which i don't want - i want only '12/1/2014'. How can i get it?
To get '12/01/2014', If i change the variable from DateTime to string, then i think i cant use the value in the filter condition like ''where date='?' because this does not accept string. Is this correct?
I have a requirement wherein I have to setup the flat file connection manager to accept columns on fly. Meaning I want to retrieve list of columns/column count from the database when the package is run and set the connection manager with those many columns.
In my current project i have a requirement to assign value of an aggregate transform to a variable. But i need to accomplish it without using a script task.
I am creating one SSIS package where my source is oracle. I have transferred the data from Oracle to flat file as per client requirement.I have to create single package for 2 country 1 is US and another is CANADA Columns are below
ZONE_ID, ZONE_NAME Zone Id having data like 10001,10002,10003,20001,2002,2003
Where zone_id start with 1000 is US Zone and Zone_Id start with 2000 is Canada Zone.
For US: 1. Load geography data from DB tables into flat files 2. Load geography data from flat files to Spectrum DB tables
For Canada: 1. Load geography data from DB tables into flat files 2. Load geography data from flat files to Spectrum DB tables
Now I want to look from flat file if Zone_id start with 1000 then it must go to US_DFT and if Zone_id start with 2000 then it must go to CANADA_DFT.
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?
