Can't an SSIS package run "in the background", so to speak, without having either the cmd.exe or dtexecui windows open while executing? I'd obviously rather not have to have a window open when the thing is running right?
View 2 RepliesI have a folder that gets 2 to 3 files dropped everyday. I want to create a package that loads only the new files into the database. The old files (Processed files) remain in the same folder and cannot be moved. How do i accomplish this in ssis?
I found something about the file watcher task with the for loop, but just can't put it all together.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Trying to run a SSIS package from a SQL job, and the package itself has a step that calls a process task that runs a batch file. The syntax in the process task I have is the following:
executable: c:windowssystem32cmd.exe

I want to enumerate all *.xls and *.csv file. How to fill the Files box? I tried
*.xls, *.csv
*.xls *.csv
*.(xls|cvs)
all doesn't work
Hello,
I have a SSIS package that has a SQL task which gets a result set and stores it in an SSIS object variable. The package then iterates through that result set in a foreach Loop Container. In the loop container I have a script task and a Send Mail Task. The script task sets the contents of the email message (through an SSIS String variable).
In the dataset I have an EmployeeCode column. I need to select a single EmployeeCode and grab all the records associated with that code to create a single EmailMessage for that Employee that includes all their records. I've got that done, however the way I'm implementing it I then have to update the SSIS Object variable that holds the result set to remove those records I've already processed. Doing this causes an error at the next ForEach loop iteration stating it can't find a source.
Result Set from SQL Query (16 columns, 674 rows, 145 distinct Employeecodes)
Employee Code EmailAddress Other columns
1 email1 set1
1 email1 set2
2 email2 set3
2 emial2 set4
2 email2 set5
etc etc etc
The first iteration should be sent to email1 where the body includes set1 and set2, the second iteration sends to email2 where the body includes set3, set4, and set5 and so forth.
The SSIS ForEachLoop Container is looping through the entire Result Set and passing into the .NET Script task the EmployeeCode (readonly) and the entire Result Set (readwrite) and setting the value of EmailMessage. So I create the value of EmailMessage based on the EmployeeCode and then use the value of Email1 and EmailMessage in the SendMail Task. I was trying to delete the rows I processed so I don€™t process them the next time the ForEachLoop Executes (otherwise I'll get duplicate emails).
Or if there's a different way to do this, I'm open to that as well.
See below for the code I'm using (colEmployeeCode is a ReadOnlyVariable and rsRecipients and EmailMessage are ReadWriteVariables in the Script Task).
Public Sub Main()
Dim Header As String
Dim Body As String
Dim Footer As String
Header = "blah"
Footer = "blah"
Try
Dim olead As New Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim dt As New Data.DataTable
olead.Fill(dt, Dts.Variables("rsRecipients").Value)
For Each row As Data.DataRow In dt.Rows
If UCase(Trim(row("EmployeeCode").ToString())) = UCase(Trim(Dts.Variables("colEmployeeCode").Value.ToString())) Then
Body = Body + "Label: " + Trim(row("colum").ToString()) + System.Environment.NewLine
row.Delete()
End If
Next
Dts.Variables("rsRecipients").Value = dt
Dts.Variables("EmailMessage").Value = Header + Body + Footer
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
Catch ex As Exception
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure
End Try
End Sub
Thank you very much,

How do i use the foreach loop container and pass each file found according to a specified pattern to a Flat File Source in a Data Flow Task Object so i can operate on each file found in the foreach loop object instead of having to specify a static file name
Thanks
OK. I give up and need help. Hopefully it's something minor ...
I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
Try
ds = CType(Dts.Variables("VP_EMAIL_RESULTS_RS").Value, DataSet)
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.
part number leadtime
x 5
y 9
....
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
thanks

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.

I have a SSIS package which copies data from Excel file to the database.
As soon as the file is copied to a specific location on the file system I insert an entry in the database table, which should kick off the above mentioned SSIS package.
I tried to read on WMI Event Watcher Task to do the above thing. I am not sure that I can do something like that.
Can anybody please help me out on this?
I have a Stored Procedure preparing data, which then are exported (flat files) using 2 SSIS packages. What is the best way to execute those 2 SSIS packages (sp,job, other) ?

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.

This is a repeat listing - third time - of this problem.
Here's the deal:
If I turn on logging on an SSIS package in Development Studio, when the package executes it will log all the events I choose to the sysdtslog90 table in the MSDB database - INCLUDING the PACKAGESTART and PACKAGEEND events.
When I create my own custom logging, however, those two events ARE NOT being logged, even though I explicitly state in my script I want those two logged. Everything else in the script (OnWarning, OnPreExecute, OnPostExecute, etc.) is being logged.
In my reading, it states that the PACKAGESTART and PACKAGEEND events are defaults and are always logged and cannot be excluded.
If this is the case, can someone explain why they aren't getting logged?
I've seen other people have run across the same issue...
Hi,
I have no "Foreach File Enumerator" oprtion in the Enumerator Property of the Foreach Loop Component.
I have this enumerator in the c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSForEachEnumerators folder.
Also I check it in the GAC - it does not here. I try to execute gacutil.exe -iF ForEachFileEnumerator.dll, but it is failed with "Failure adding assembly to the cache: The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest." Seems it is not managed enumerator.
Please help me.
Also information on how to regeister unmanaged enumerators are welcome!
Hi all,
In a foreachloop, I am inserting records into a flat file which is working fine. But the thing is that as the file grows, it takes longer for it to locate the EOF(End of File) of the flat file so as to insert the records.
I have around 70-100 lines written to the file at each loop and there are more than 20k records to be looped. wihich means that at the end I should be having 1400k - 20000k line in the text file.
One solution would be to insert the records at the start of the file itself so that it does not has to lookup the EOF each time before writting.
Another would be to generate separate files and then merge it.
Any idea how can this can be done?
Beside this I have to zip the file and then SFTP to a given address.
Any suggestion or help would be welcome.

HELLO,
I want to create a package which start and stop the SQL server's services... i know i can achive this via NET COMMAND.... but i coudnt find in which task (SSIS) I can place that command?..
I also came across that I can achieve this using Execute Process task but for this I have to define executable file.... actually i dont want ne thing outside from my SSIS package
CAN I ACHIEVE THIS WITH IN SSIS PACKAGE?
is there ne other alternative?

I need an example of a WQL query to use in the WMI Event Watcher task to watch for the presence of a file. The task has to succeed for either:
1) The file already exists when the task is run
2) The file shows up while the task is running (waiting)
Also the query has to reference a UNC path and file name. The file I'm looking for is just a flag file telling me a table is refreshed in our Data Warehouse.
I also need pointers on how to set the WMI connection manager. For the server, do I use the \servername of the fileserver? Do I need to include the folder the files are in (eg. \servernameflags)?
Thanks!

I would like to create a log of what happens with each step in the package, at least start & start time and email that at the end of the package
Is this possible?

I'm trying to gather information from within a SSIS package for benchmarking, reconciliation, and reporting purposes in regards to cube processing, which I'm initiating using the AS processing task.
What is the easiest way to capture this information?
The only way I've been able to come up with is to use a profiler trace. If this is really the only way, what is the easiest way to execute and read the trace from within SSIS?
Also, if a script task has to be used, does anyone have a code sample?
Thanks in advance!
A common issue that I run across with clients is they want only want to process a file if it's finished transmitting to the server. This SQL Server 2005 task reads the properties of a file and writes the values to a series of variables. For example, you can use this task to determine if the file is in use (still be uploaded or written to) and then conditionally run the Data Flow task to load the file if it's not being used. You can also use it to determine when the file was created in order to determine if it must be archived.

I have created a SSIS package with a Foreach Loop including a Data Flow Task, which in turn include a Row Count component which pass the row count value to variable with package scope. The variable is used in an Execute SQL Task following the Data Flow Task.
The package executes successfully when executed on its own, but when executed as a child from a parent package (which only include an Execute Package Task) the variable from the Foreach Loop becomes NULL.
There are a lot of other variables in the package receiving values dynamically without any problem, the row count variable however is the only variable in the package that receives a value as part of a Data Flow (and used in following tasks within the Foreach Loop).
Why does the variable become Null? For your information, I am using a variable with package scope and no variables from the parent package are used or passed from the child package to the parent package.
(For your information, we are running the 64 bit version)
Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.
I'm working with 2005 SSIS and am getting the below error associated with a query when
I try and set up a package that runs other package tasks. It errors in the Package Name (..) lookup after I enter what appears to be a validate location (sql server) and connection information.
I located a post suggesting to add an mmc certificate but that did not seem to help.
I'm sort of assuming that if it was id/passwd related i'd get a more specific error..
Any info would be much appreciated...Thx Owen

We are running SQL Server 2012 SP1 64-Bit EE on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. I have a SSIS Package which connects to a FTP Site and downloads a file. Then it truncates a table and loads the file data into a table. This package works okay when executed from within VSS and SSMS (In SSISDB, right click on the package and execute). However, when I execute it as a Job it does not run and appears to be failing on the first task which is the FTP Task. SQL job step - Type: SSIS Package; Run as: SQL Server Agent Service Account (domain account called playuser); Authentication: Windows Authentication.In the All Executions Standard Report for the SSISDB Catalog, it only says: FTP Download File: Errors: There were errors during task validation.
Is this because my domain account does not have access to the FTP Site?Is this where I need to come up with a Proxy Account with Credentials?Do I need to set up a SQL Server Login (Proxy Account) with the same username being used in the FTP Batch file?
FTP Commands in a batch file:
username
password
cd omb
asc
get STRMASTER
quit
Hi,
We have used an execute package task in our master package to execute a child package and we have set the execute out of process=false. This master package is running fine in 32 bit server but is failing in 64 bit server. is there any settings to be done in the server or is it the problem with the property setting(execute out of process)

I have a SSIS package with an FTP task to download a Excel file and populate a table using an excel connection mnager and a SQL Server Destination and it always fails with the following error when scheduled:
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User sa. The last step to run was step 1 (FTP-DM-CRN_ALLOCATION_COMMENTS).
Executed as user: WEB-INTSQLSYSTEM. The package execution failed. The step failed.
The box on which SQL Server is installed is on a workgroup on the domain and the SQL Server is started up by the Local System user on the box.
I am thinking this has to do with windows security based on all the information that I have read on these kind of error messages. Any input on resolving this will be much appreciated.

Hi all,
I am having a simple ssis package. In that i have an sql task that will insert a record in to the database. i find that if i use a simple OLEDB connection it works fine. but the problem comes here when i change the connection string with an valiable. Once i assign the same connection string to a valiable and assign the variable as expression, there after i encounter the following error.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Failed to acquire connection "DB connection". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
I am struggling with this for a long time.
Any of you plz suggest me a solution for this problem
