Load XML Files Into Tables Via SSIS
Jul 19, 2007
Hi
I am new to SSIS and am looking to load XML files (with a DTD definition) into tables via a SSIS package. I have created a XML task and am able to load the XML and output it to file. I have also stripped out the DTD definition and am able through a dataflow using XML source an OLE db Destination load and map the XML to table sin my DB. But have no idea how to get the data in when it has a DTD definition included. I either want to put each file into a row in a table then query it. Or from the SSIS package input the relevant info into a set of staging tables or the real tables.
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.

So i have about 80 different SSIS PAckages that load different text files into tables. each package has a config file that contains password, server name and user id. I want to forward these packages to a use who will execute them. So instead of giving the user 80 packages to execute manually, how do i put these packages into one parent package so that the user has to only execute this parent package instead of executing 80 different packages NB. package exec is manually. (we will automate later) so this is a temp measure.

I have 2 different excel files file1 and file2. file1 should be loaded to table1 and file2 should be loaded to table2. Both of the files will have 1 sheet inside. Do I need to create separate excel source for file1 and file2? I mean file1 in one excel source and that will be connecting to 1 execute sql task. file2 in other excel source and that will be connecting to another execute sql task. Is this the way I should proceed or is there any looping should be done? I need to schedule this activity to run every week. So, I'll get new files every week with the same file names and sheet names. Do I need to consider anything for this requirement also?
I'm planning to do truncate and reload not an incremental load.

HI All,
I have Uzip Files to be downloaded From ftp.companyname.com, the zip files get updated everyday thus i have to download the newly added files, the Zip file has got 13 text Files within it, the issue is:
1. how do i download it for the new zip file only, the zip files are shown below, i am trying using FTP Task, but need more info or other alternative.
2. (Optional) How do i UnZip it and and take the text files and then load them to sql server 2005, each text file has to be loaded to sql server tables.
3. How do i automate it, i mean every time i run the package (on Job based) it has to look the new file only, see the zip file below to understand what i am saying about.
02/25/2008 09:02PM 2,780,729 CompanyName_2008-02-22.zip

03/04/2008 04:49PM 3,238,121 CompanyName_2008-03-03.zip
As you can see the Zip file names are the blues color, they are added at different time, when you browse the ftp.companyname.com you will get the blue color files, thus what i need is to download only the current Zip file (i mean i have to downLoad only the newly added Zip file (recent one)). Thus the SSIS Task has to go to this FTP server and look the newly added zip file. (Optional) if possible, After that i have Unzip it b/se i have 13 text files there, and then Load them to Sql Server 2005.
Please get help on this, the deadline is near by time, if possible try as soon as possible, I would like to say Thank you for every help you do and try.
Thanks,

How to load files with similar format , from two different locations into same database with same ssis.
Lets say
Location 1: C:LoadFilesCust1APP_123445.txt
Location 2: D:LoadFilescust2VDD_543121.txt
Currently we have one ssis which loads and process files from C:LoadFilesCust1 only. we have to modify the existing package it to load files from Location 2 (D:LoadFilescust2) as well. Also while loading, the ssis should assign a value to existing column CustID depending upon the file name. File names always start with APP_ in first location. VDD_ in second location
Assign CUSTID as 100 if file name starts with APP_
Assign CUSTID as 200if file name starts with VDD_

I am getting the following error when trying to load multiple excel files using for each loop container in SSIS, I tried to put the quotes in several different ways but still can't get rid of this error. I was able to successfully load single excel file, but when I use the for each loop container that's when I am having problems. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thx.

I have a simple SSIS package that reads a flat file and copies it into a SQL Server table.
When the flat fiel is on the C drive I have no problem runnign this package from SQL Server Agent, but as soon as I update the path to a network location the package only works when I run it manually, but fails when is executed via the SQL Server agent job.
The error says "cannot open the datafile", while the datafile location is valid.
Is this a kind of limitation of a SQL Server Agent that only local files are allowed to be processed?

We are using SQL Server 2014 and SSDT-BI 2013. We have a reporting environment where business users create objects which need to be persisted for fiscal year reporting. Let's say for instance SQLSERVER1SRVR1 they create table objects like below in the reporting environment.
Accounting2014, Accounting2015 in AccountingDB;
Sales2014, Sales2015 in SalesDB;
Products2014, Products2015 in ProductsDB;
Inventory2014, Inventory2015 in InventoryDB etc....
These tables are persisted for auditing in a different environment SQLSERVER2SRVR2 for finance & audit folks.We would want to automate this process using SSIS to create tables in corresponding database and load data. I tried using For Each Loop container but the catch is I could loop the source or destination but how do we loop on Source & Destination at the same time (i.e when source is in AccountingDB destination to be AccountingDB, source SalesDB then destination SalesDB so on etc....

I have developed a SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) package that includes a Script Task on a 32-bit machine. The PrecompileScriptIntoBinaryCode property is set to True. After I build the package, the .dtsx file includes a <BinaryItem> element for that Task. Package runs fine on the dev machine, both in BIDS and as SQL Server Agent job.
When I deploy the package to a 64-bit server, it runs fine when I execute the package ad hoc from SQL Server Management Studio. However, when I schedule the package for execution as a SQL Server Agent job, the package fails with the message: "the script files failed to load."
I have reviewed posts on this error from late 2005, but the solutions don't work in this case. Specifically:
1. The Precompile property is already set to True.
2. I have already verified that the script was compiled.
Any further suggestions?

So we are running SQL 2000 and we use a DTS Package to load about 100 txt files to different tables in a SQL DB.
So in DTS packages you define the connection (database) and the different source files will connect to the connection.
You define the destination on the flow arrow. My question is how do i accomplish this in SQL 2008 using SSIS. (upgrading SQL).

Every day an application creates new tables and dumps static info into them.
I would like to create a package to dynamically export those database tables to raw files for long term archive, one file per table. Here is what I have so far and the issue I am having.
1) Get a list of un-archived tables.
2) Foreach table do the following.
a. Export the table into raw file.
b. Zip the raw file.
c. Update archive tracking table.
As long as the metadata for each table is the same this package seems to work fine. However, I have many tables with different metadata. How can I dynamically get the package update the metadata column collection when it hits a new table? When it hits a table with different metadata I am getting warnings like this:
The column "some_column" needs to be added to the external metadata column collection.
The "external metadata column "someother_column" (103)" needs to be removed from the external metadata column collection.
Then I get this error:
Error: 0xC004706B at dump the table into a raw file, DTS.Pipeline: "component "OLE DB Source" (1)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA"

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 have a requirement where in i have around 15 different flat files , filenames are fixed but folder path can be changed(i think i should use a variable for folder path). These 15 files data should go to their respective tables in the database.
Whether I need to create separate data flow task for each file or separate package? In addition to these, example : while importing product data into product table, if product ID already exists, we need to ignore it and upload only the new records.

I have a couple of hundred flat files to import into database tables using SSIS.
The files can be divided into groups by the format they use. I understand that I could import each group of files that have a common format at the same time using a Foreach Loop Container.
However, the example for the Foreach Loop Container has multiple files all being imported into the same database table. In my case, each file needs to be imported into a different database table.
Is it possible to import each set of files with the same format into different tables in a simple loop? I can't see a way to make a Data Flow Destination item accept its table name dynamically, which seems to prevent me doing this.
I suppose I could make a different Data Flow Destination item for each file, in the Data Flow. Would that be a reasonable solution, or is there a simpler solution, or should I just resign myself to making a separate Data Flow for every single file?

Hi,
I have problem I'm hoping someone can give me some pointers with.
I need to load data from several text files into one table. The format of the files are simple - each line is comma separated, with double quotes around each element e.g.
"parameter 1","value 1","parameter 2","value 2"....
"parameter 12","value 12","parameter 13","value 13"...
However, the files themselves will have different numbers of columns e.g file 1 may have 8 columns, file 2 may have 16 columns.
I'm going to load the data into a table that has at least as many columns as the longest file. The table columns are all varchar, and are named simply as [Col001] [Col002] [Col003] etc...
The first two columns of this table must be left empty during the load (I use these later on), so the data entry will start at [Col003].
My question is what is the best way to do this? I thought perhaps using a BULK INSERT in a stored procedure might do the trick, but I haven't used it before and haven't got very far. I gather another approach might be to use bcp utility. Someone has also suggested a DTS package, but the filenames will be suffixed with current date/time stamp, so i don't think that will work.
My preferred appraoch would be the BULK INSERT..but i'm open to any pointers.
Many Thanks
Greg

Hi all,
is there a way we can parse a XML(file name lister) file that has a structure say,
<Node>
<Root>
<FullName>/My Documents/Documents/Feature/17470_652</FullName>
<ShortName>17470</ShortName>
<XMLFileName>17470_652.xml</XMLFileName>
<LastModifiedOn>12 December 2006</LastModifiedOn>
</Root>
...
...
...
</Node>
and get the values of all the <XMLFileName> attribute and load them into some variables,say here the filename is "17470_652.xml", I have to look for this file in a specified location, open the XML file and load the contents to a table ? It can be presumed that all the XML files will be stored in a same location

I'm having an issue trying to load some old CVS files created in the year 2005. I'm using SQL server 2008 express edition for now. I've never seen files in this format. For reason, i can't go into, i can't user SSIS and need to load them using the bulkinsert comand. the files contain about 20 fields with a mix of numerics and text. the text fields are delimited by 2 sets of quotes, and a , and the numeric fields by just a , with each line contained in double quotes.
ex """abc"",12,198504,""tom"",""Smith"",49,3322,""mai n st."""
how to define the format file so that i can remove the "" quotes before and after each text field and how to remove the set of quotes that each record is enclosed with.

Hi all,
I have a package with a number of script components. All are set "PreCompile=True".
Within a Sequence Container I have a set of five script tasks each followed by an Execute Process Task. Each pair is linked but the five pairs are independent (hope this makes sense).
The first pair executed successfully but the other four all failed with the "Script files failed to load" error.
Anyone have a clue why this might happen or what I might change to solve the problem?
The package is scheduled under SS Agent so I'm currently thinking of taking these steps out of SSIS and putting them into the job. Not ideal but at least I can have some confidence that it will work.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
Cheers,
Andrew

Client uses an Amazon S3 bucket which they load flats files to . They also expect files to be delivered there to.So at the minute I have an SSIS package (SQL2012 ) which I use to generate some files but then have to manually import the files to the S3 bucket as well as export others.Now Mike Yin ( For SQL2008R2 ) mentioned that you need to obtain PostgreSQL ODBC driver so that you can use the .Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider for ADO.NET Source component to connect to the Amazon cloud storage. After that, you can use a OLE DB Destination to load the data to SQL Server database.
Installed both 32 and 64bit 9.03. New connection Manager ADO.NET - New then drop the provider down to ODBC.Dataprovider.Then what ? Do I put the S3 bucket address within the use connection string ? Is there and example ? Why do I need the PostgreSQL ODBC as Im not connecting to a database just a S3 Bucket?

Hi All,
I am totally new to SSIS and im in the learing phase. I have a requirement as below,
I have two flat files (mainframe files), the structure i have given below,
File1:
070113
12345johnk
23456james
1st row is header record which has got date in YYMMDD format and remaining rows have emp no and emp name
File2:
070113
070113
070113
070113
contains 4 records which are dates.
The requirement is to compare the header date in file1 with the 4 dates in file2, if they are equal then it should load all the records in file1 except the header into a table and if they donot match then it should log an err msg. Please could someone provide a lead on this.
The files have same record length and fixed field delimited.
Thanks in advance
