Move Files In Data Flow
Sep 7, 2007
Hi all,
I'm trying to find some way to implement a move file task in my Data Flow. I parse through a flat file, retrieve a value, then I'm using a lookup table to check if that value exists in a table... if the value doesnt exist, I need to move this file to a new directory and insert the value into a different table. Does anyone have any ideas about how to move the file while using the Data Flow pane?
Or is there some way to pass information from the look up table to the Control flow pane and use the Move File Task there? I'm trying to stay away from a Script task or a Script component unless it's unavoidable. I appreciate any ideas!

I could really use some help on this one. I know virtually nothing about SQL Server. We installed this because our database for the application we're running (Lexis Nexis Time Matters) had gotten too large for the Express 2005 version. We've also installed a new version of the software, and on a new server.
The new server has the drive partitioned into two partitions. When installing the application, I selected drive D (545 gb) as the data drive, but when I installed SQL server, it was installed on drive C (12 gb). I did not realize that the the application data was simply configuration information, and the data for the program is actually being installed on the C drive (Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData).
Is there a simple procedure to move this data, including the SQL instance (TIMEMATTERS) to the D drive? Or should I uninstall and start over?

I haven't found the definitive answer on how or if this can be done without removing replication. I'm thinking ALTER DATABASE modify_file is the way to go. Anybody know if this will work or a better way to go about it?
Thanks

We're trying to read DBASE IV files as a source, but can't find any providers for that format. Will these be included in the final release? Is there another way? DBASE has always been supported, so it's kinda stranged.

Currently looping through the set of flat files like CHK0604, CHK0611, CHK0618, and CHK0625 from the source folder C:SOURCE
OBJECTIVE within the flat file if any records/rows cause error i have to move the bad data into separate folder C:ERROR
STEPS TAKEN
1) In FOREACH LOOP component i specified the variable User:: sourceFilePath for my source file CHK0604 etc. location C:SOURCE. The loop walkthrough each file in C:SOURCE and if no error then moves the flat file into another folder C:ARCHIVED. This task is perfectly working.
2) Within the dataflow I am diverting the the bad rows from "conditional component" into "Flat File Destination" Component.
3) "Flat File Destination" Connection manager i set the expressions as @[User:: sourceFilePath] +"_Error.TXT".
ISSUE
Because of point (3) the error file is created in the SOURCE flat file location C:SOURCE.
QUESTION
1) My error file name should be CHK0604_Error, CHK0611_Error, CHK0618_Error, CHK0625_Error created in another folder C:ERROR.
2) How to move the bad data into another directory while looping through a set of FLAT FILES ?
3) If i have to create another variable like @[User:: ErrorFilePath] where to create ? How to use the source file title as the title of error file.?
Thanks for the help

Hi,
I'm just starting off in SSIS and have a question that I can't find an answer to...
I'm loading in a number of files (in separate Data Flows) and performing some transformations on them before merging them back together. What I'm not sure about is what I should be doing with the data at the end of each of my "Import Data From XXXX Flat File" Data Flows. Am I better off using OLE DB Destinations (or SQL Server Destinations) and saving this intermediate data to temporary tables, or am I better off using a Raw File Destinations and saving this intermediate data to files? Or is there, perhaps, a better option that I'm currently unaware of?
If the Raw File Destination is the way to go, then isn't there a maintenance issue with cleaning up all the files created? And will there not be a management issue to ensure that there is sufficient disc space available on the drive you are saving to?
I'm a bit confused and overwhelmed by SSIS at the moment, so any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Lawrie.

Hi, All,
I need to pass a parameter from control flow to data flow. The data flow will use this parameter to get data from a Oracle source.
I have an Execute SQL task in control flow to assign value to the Parameter, next step is a data flow which will need take a parameter in the SQL statement to query the Oracle source,
The SQL Looks like this:
select * from ccst_acctsys_account
where to_char(LAST_MODIFIED_DATE, 'YYYYMMDD') >?
THe problem is the OLE DB source Edit doesn€™t have anything for mapping parameter.
Thanks in Advance

I have an Execute SQL Task that returns a Full Rowset from a SQL Server table and assigns it to a variable objRecs. I connect that to a foreach container with an ADO enumerator using objRecs variable and Rows in first table mode. I defined variables and mapped them to the columns.
I tested this by placing a Script task inside the foreach container and displaying the variables in a messagebox.
Now, for each row, I want to write a record to an MS Access table and then update a column back in the original SQL Server table where I retreived data in the Execute SQL task (i have the primary key). If I drop a Data Flow Task inside my foreach container, how do I pass the variables as input to an OLE DB Destination on the Data Flow?
Also, how would I update the original source table where source.id = objRects.id?
Thank you for your assistance. I have spent the day trying to figure this out (and thought it would be simple), but I am just not getting SSIS. Sorry if this has been covered.
Thanks,
Steve

Dear All!
My package has a Data Flow Task. In Data Flow Task, I use a Script Component and a OLE BD Destination to transform data from txt file to database.
Within Data Flow Task, I want to call File System Task to move file to a folder or any Task of "Control Flow" Tab. So, Does SSIS support this task? Please show me if any
Thanks

How to move information allocated in SSIS variables from Data Flow to Control Flow layers??
We've got a SSIS package which load a value into a variable inside a Data Flow. Going back to Control Flow how could we retrive that value again????
Thanks in advance and regards,

I'm currently setting variables at the package level with an ExecuteSQL task. This works fine. However, I'm now starting to think about restartability midway through a package. It would be nice to have the variable(s) needed in a data flow set within the data flow so that I only have to restart that task.
Is there a way to do that using an SQL statement as the source of the value in a data flow?
OR, when using checkpoints will it save variable settings so that they are available when the package is restarted? This would make my issue a moot point.

Without restoring the database, has anyone written a slick little piece of code that moves a file existing on on filegroup to another newly created filegroup without doing it from a restore.
The purpose of doing this is to get rid of one data file and placing the data into the data file we are retaining. We have some more physical file space and are moving data into one data file and one transaction log file.
We have already ran the DBCC SHRINKFILE with EMPTYFILE to move the data,
We have already ran the ALTER DATABASE statement but here, because the filegroup is identified as PRIMARY in the sysfilegroup table, we can not REMOVE the data file because of indexes relating to the PRIMARY filegroup.
So if I could ALTER DATABASE and create a bogus filegroup and move the data file which I want to get rid of into the bogus filegroup, I could ALTER DATABASE with REMOVE filegroup and solve the situation.
Does anyone know of an easier way to do it other than BACKUP database and RESTORE database.....please help!!!
Thanks,
Daimon

Can I move a database from one server to another server using QA?
EXEC sp_detach_db @dbname = 'IISLOG'
EXEC sp_attach_single_file_db @dbname = 'IISLOG',
@physname = 'c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQLDataIISLOG.mdf'
Or would I need a tape backup to move this database to another server?
Thanks

Hi,
I am looping a set of .txt files in a folder using foreach.
Inside foreach, I have a Dataflow task that does the transformation. After that i have added a File System that moves file to archive.
However, If the user puts any other file instead of a .txt file, i want to move the file to Error folder and this should be before the DataFlow starts within foreach.
How can i do this? I want to use script to read the file extension and then move it to the error.
Lalit.

Hello guys and girls. I have installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and I have specified that the databases should be created on the K: drive. This is okay but now I need to move all the transaction log files (.ldf) to the L: drive. I have already changed the default location for the log files to point to the L: drive and the new databases that were created after the installation have their transaction log file correctly in the L: drive but now I need to move transaction log files for the master, model, temp ... databases. How can this be done? And are there any gotchas?

Hi,
I'm trying to implement an incremental data pull (Oracle to SQL) based on Andy's blog:
http://sqlblog.com/blogs/andy_leonard/archive/2007/07/09/ssis-design-pattern-incremental-loads.aspx
My development machine is decent: 1.86 GHz, Intel core 2 CPU, 3 GB of RAM.
However it seems the data flow task gets hung whenever I test the package against the ~6 million row source, as can be seen from these screenshots. I have no memory limitations on the lookup transformation. After the rows have been cached nothing happens. Memory for the dtsdebug process hovers around 1.8 GB and it uses 1-6 percent of CPU resources continuously. I am not using fast load to insert new records into my sql target table. (I am right clicking Sequence Container 3 and executing this container NOT the entire package in the screenshots)

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/6.jpg
The same package works fine against a similar test table with 150k rows.
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/7.jpg
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg168/boston_sql92/8.jpg
The weird thing is it only takes 24 minutes for a full refresh of the entire source table from Oracle to the SQL target table.
Any hints,advice would be appreciated.

Hello,
I need to move all log files for my SQL 2005 databases to another drive. I don't wish to shrink the files, I need to move the logs to another drive spindle. I did find an article (Article ID: 224071) that describes moving both the database and logs using sp_detach and then sp_attach. What is the best way just to move the logs to another drive on the same server, and that keeps the databases in their original location?
Thanks.

Hello there,
I've been told that it is good practice to keep mdf and ldf files in another location... We have it in place for all our user databases, however mdf and ldf files for our system dbs are still at the same location. I was wondering what is the right way of splitting those should be?

I have a job which copies .txt files 24 hours 7 days a week to c:TempSource
What I am planning to do is copy the files from one location to another say c:TempTarget
So I have written the Powell shell script and when i put that in the sql agent job i get below error ;
A job step received an error at line 5 in a PowerShell script. The corresponding line is '$filesToMove = $files | Where -Property "Name" -NotLike -Value $newestFile.Name'. Correct the script and reschedule the job. The error information returned by PowerShell is: 'A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Property'. '. Process Exit Code -1. The step failed.
$sourceFiles = "c:TempSource*.txt"
$targetFolder = "c:TempTarget"
$files = Get-ChildItem $sourceFiles
$newestFile = ($files | sort LastWriteTime -Descending)[0]
$filesToMove = $files | Where -Property "Name" -NotLike -Value $newestFile.Name
$filesToMove | ForEach { Move-Item $_ $targetFolder }Â

I want to poll an ftp site to see when files arrive, then I would like to download them, and move them into a different directory on the ftp site. It seems like I would have to do a lot to work around the limitations of the FTP Task. Is it capable of this sort of work? If not is there a 3rd party task that is better suited for ftp operations within SSIS?
