Hi,
Is it possible to use multiple masks in a For Each File Loop container?
I need to process "*.txt" and "*.csv" and tried to separate them with all the usual characters("," ";" etc.) but it does not seem to work. I don't want to create 2 or more containers for each mask.
Thanks
I am trying to move files from one directory to anonther using the For Each Loop Container and a File System Task. However, on the FIRST iteration of the ForEach Loop the variable that I am setting to the 0 index of the For Each Loop is returning me a valid directory with no file ( path only ) from who knows where ????
On the second iteration of the For Each Loop everything works as expected and I get the full path and file name and it iterates through all the files in the directory o.k.
So I have had to put a Hack to skip the fist iteration of the loop and then execute the File Task on the second iteration but I dont see anyone else doing this.
Where in the heck is it getting this odd directory from on the fist iteration ( its not my User varible because I am initializing it to \nowhereofile ). What am I doing wrong?
I have a requirement to load multiple flat files in target table .
I have created the package which used to load files into target table using For each loop container.
But now requirement has been changed now I have to take only those files from table where status="Success" and max JobId. By the query I am to get those records which need to load into table.
Below query I am using to get the files which need to load.
select [JobLogKey],[SrcNm],[DestNm]
FROM [ConfigRep].[dbo].[JobLog]
Where [JobId]=
(Select Max(cast([JobId] as Int)) Jobid
FROM [ConfigRep].[dbo].[JobLog]
Where [JobStat]='Success')
Output:-
JobLogKey SrcNm DestNm
268 H:Data PlatformSource FileClient2LocHGSSpecLocation.txt Location.txt
269 H:Data PlatformSource FileClient1LocHGSSpecLocation.txt Location.txt
I have to load using above 2 files which are under SrcNm. I have created one variable called FileToLoad as Object and mapping to result set of above query. I have create JobId,SrcNm and DestNm variable to catch the record at every loop. I have created 2 For each Loop container
Below screen shot of outer Foreach loop. Till here Its working fine. Inner for each loop container not executing any task under that. How to get it done.
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.

Hello,
I want to set up a Foreach loop container to loop through several flat files. I have a connection manager set up for individual flat files. The metadata for the files is all the same. They are fixed width files, and contain sixty five columns.
I didn't see a place in the container properties to configure the metadata of the files. How can a Foreach Loop Container 'know' the metadata of the flat files that I want to loop through?
Thank you for your help!

I am trying to write a SSIS to distribute files to our client directories. In my source directory ( C:ClientPending ) i have a variable amount of file with variable file names and extensions. I need to sort these and place then in to different cient direcories. Each file name will contain the clients Referance Number ( ie Q123456.007 , A123456.exe, S123456.523 etc ). this clients directory would be C:ClientOutbound123456
Im presuming that i need a for loop container and a system file task, and a variable that i can parm in the ClientRef, i just dont know how to configure it.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Suppose if I have a “Foreach Loop Container” that iterates over a list. Is it possible to execute different data flow tasks based on the input?
Example : List contains elements L1, L2 & L3.
ForEach Loop Container checks the input. If its L1 then it should execute DF Task1, If L2 then execute
DF Task2 and similarly for L3.
Is it possible to achieve this?
In my SSIS Package I am using For each loop container to load the data from csv file to SQL Table.
my file will be like abc_120554.csv
I want to places one script task before the foreach loop container to check if the file exist in the folder which start with abc_.what to do for same.
My package is having .csv file as a source and I kept OLEDB destination to load it.
Stored the .csv file in a shared folder and the exact path is given in Enumerator configuration of the foreach loop container. When I execute my package, it is giving the warning as below:
It is saying that file is not there in the specified path and directory is empty. I am running the SSIS package from TFS. I am sure that I have read and write access for the shared folder for my userID. Is there any access there to pick up this file from path.
In my SSIS package I am using Foreach loopcontainer to load multiple flat files.
Now my requirement is that I want to load only those file which contains %vendor%.In source folder I have many files but I am interested in to load only those file which contains the string %vendor% in file name.
Has anyone ever seen this issue?
If i place a loop container inside a sequence container the connectors within the loop container disappear.... is this a bug - will the loop tasks still run in the correct order?? or will they fire off willy nilly??
Hi ALL,
Getting Access Denied To FileName Error When Using the Execute Sql Task (With File Connection) into a Foreach Loop Container.
Please Note :
I have a folder containing .sql files. I have to dynamically loop through the files and send them as a File connection Folder to the Execute Sql Task.
When I run this Package I am getting the follwoing error :
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path 'C:ProjectsFuzzy Lookup DataFlow ExampleScripts' is denied.".
Also I have logged in to the machine as Administrator and to Sql Server with sa.
Please help.
Thanks.

How do you sort files from the Foreach loop container?
I love this component, except I can't get it to sort by filename.
Nice to know how to sort by timestamps also.

Hello
I am trying to use Foreach loop container - Foreach File Enumerator
Is there easy way to retrieve enumerator configuration folder from variable - so I can easily move package from server to server?
I would like to have name of the folder we getting files from retrieved from variable by using this control
Thank you in advance

Hello Experts,
Sorry that I open a new thread again but I didnt found any good tutorials about foreach loop container. I would like to read every row from one table and do something.
I red something about sql task Can someone give a little instruction, please?

Hi
I using data flow task to import from flat file to database but i need to use Foreach Loop Container to import multiple files in specific folder and all will be insert in the same table
tahnks & Regards
What I'm trying to do is take multiple "snapshots" of a membership for many months. I was trying to do this in a For Loop Container in which I added one to the month variable and subtracted one from an iteration variable each loop, unless the month variable = 13...then I would add one to the year variable, set the month variable to 1 and subtract one from the iteration variable. This, I was hoping, would allow me to initialize 24 to the iteration variable, 1 to the month variable and 2004 to the year variable, kick off the package, and get 2 years worth of "snapshots" in seperate files (one for each month). Here is the AssignExpression I thought would work:
@Member_Month == 13 ? @Member_Month = 1 && @Member_Year= @Member_Year + 1 && @Member_Iteration = @Member_Iteration - 1 : @Member_Month = @Member_Month + 1 && @Member_Iteration = @Member_Iteration - 1
The package states that the single "=" should be double, but I don't think that that is what I want to do (I tried doing this just to check, and it didn't like this either). I think that it is having problems with doing multiple things on both sides of the ":". What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

We have a config table which has columns like pollingfolder, cop to folder etc.
Data looks like this
Config id polling folder
1 d:dataloadacn
2 d:dataloadship
under ACN and Ship folders we can have more than 1 source files which had to be loaded into target
the load process has to be repeated for each file in all the folders like ACN and ship
I have used for each loop container to poll the folder.
Can we set the directory to be polled at runtime taking from config table.
For doing this I have used the property Directory in expression editor of for each loop. But it is not working.
If I hard code the variable value in variables section , then its working.
How to change the directory to be polled value at runtime?
I'm trying to set up a For Loop Container that steps through the loop based on date logic.
Here's an example of what I'd like to do:
InitExpression | @SomeDate = 1/1/2007
EvalExpression | @SomeDate < GETDATE()
AssignExpression | @SomeDate = DATEADD(DAY, 1, @SomeDate)
The above syntax does not work, and I can't find an example that uses date logic with the For Loop Container.
Can anyone help me with this, or point me to an example that uses the For Loop Container with dats?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Hi,
I am using For each loop container in my SSIS package which will loop through more than one input file in the input folder.
All the input files in the input folder are picked by one by one. All the input files in the input folder are executed with the same ExecutionInstanceGUID.
Now, my requirement is to get a new ExecutionInstanceGUID during the execution of each input file in the For each loop container. My package only contains the For each loop container with some logic inside that.
Please let me know if any one can help me for the same.
Regards,
Sriram.
Hi,
A very strange thing happened to me. I have a package that includes two For each loop containers. Each container has script tasks, sequence containers, etc. Both are Foreach ADO Enumerator basis. It works without any problems until I changed the position of one of them in the Control flow and added some code in the script task. After these changes I executed the package and both of For each loop containers did not execute the tasks inside of them, any task. However the execution color on the containers was green (success). How can it be?
Your help is much welcome. Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
I am having problem when setting for-each container's EvalExpression as a variable comparison.
I have set this in expression editor
@[User::Syn] == 1
Editor says that it couldnt convert from System.Bool to System.String.
If I put it in quote, then for-each container says that it needs Bool, not String.
Please help me with this,
Thanks
Hi
Currently the ForEach Loop container is set to loop over the entire collection of records in my table, but I only need to loop thru the records where the status = x. How is that possible? Can I use expressions to set the enumerator to do something like this. Basiclly the collection values are used for further processing, and I would like to avoid looping thru records which have been processed already, which means they already have a status set to y. Please let me know. Thanks.

hi everyone,
I've created a Send Mail task which works properly and now I'd like to send that email n times.
How do I such thing. I moved that task inside Foreach loop container and then I choosen "Foreach From Variable Enumerator" and then I've created a Int32 variable.
And now, I don't know how to tell that increments that variable
TIA,
Hi. I am running a package using 'execute package' inside a for each loop file iteration. I have to iterate through some 10,000s of files to ETL source data, a resonably complex package. I want to set going and get some sleep but every 200 files or so I get a memory exhausted error and the task fails. Is there a short easy fix to refresh memory each iteration. If so please let me know. Just ignoring the failure at task level won't refresh the memory, will it?
Thanks for the help.
Could someone send me any links or information on how to loop through an ADO.NET dataset in SSIS? I need step by step information please.
Thank you,
Shiva
Hi,
My Foreach Loop container has 10 different task inside. I want to execute the first task only one time. I have a variable with increases for each repition. How can I put precedence contstraint on the first task so that it should execute only first time and other task has to execute all the time.
Thanks
Hi All,
Seems like a simple task, but been a struggle.
Simply trying to move a group of files from one folder to another folder and renaming the files with the monthyear in the middle of the filename..
I'm using a FOR Loop container and works find. The added complexity is I'm trying to rename the files the same tine and putting the Month Year into the file name.
I guess the struggle is how to get the file name out so I can manipulate it.
I tried creating variable(V_SOURCE) which stores the file path and create another variable(V_FILENAME) to hold the filename. I believe on the expression page of the FOR LOOP editor if I select the the file name and extension radio button, it should put the file name in the V_FILENAME variable.
In my file task trying to join the two variables together in another variable, keep saying my path is wrong with the file task kicks off.
here's the syntaxt
@[User::V_SourcePath] + @[User::V_FILE_NAME]
With a ForEach container, configured to loop through files in a
directory, if I have a problem with a file.. can I direct the loop to
skip on to the next file?
I'm processing structured files, first record of each is some
header info, body records are in the middle, and then the last record
is a trailer containg a checksum
So, for each file in the directory, I split the records into three raw
files, one for header rec(s) , one for body recs and one for trailer
recs. (based on line numbers and using a conditional split to direct
the records)
Then I start by processing the header recs in a dataflow.. if all goes
well there I move on to the next dataflow to process the body recs from
the DataRecs raw file.. etc...
I would like to do some validation at each processing step.. if a
header rec fails validation say... then I'd like to just stop
processing that file and move onto the next file...
Now, I don't see my validation throwing an exception... so its more
that I'd decide (maybe using an Audit ) that the header doesn't pass
validation.. then I'd like to put a record in an error table (with info
about filename, source etc, not just content of the current data row)
But not sure what approach to take on this...
If there is an appropriate section in BOL please point me at it...
Thanks

Hi,
I have a "Data Flow Task" inside" For Each container". Data flow task is processing file and updating the DB.
If one of the file is correpted i want to move to error folder and continue with the next file. i have given red arrow to a script Task which move the file to error folder. but its not continuing with next file. how can Ido that?
Any help
