Opening An Excel File Using A Script Task
Oct 26, 2007Is there a way to access / open an excel file using a script task in SSIS?
The "add references" does not provide access to the Microsoft Office components.

Is there anyway to send excel file from ssis using send mail task without saving the excel file locally. I need to automate the process which involves loading the excel file from the database and send it to some people.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWe are not certain if this has happened due to the SSIS FTP Task, but incidently the Excel file that is being copied from the FTP site using an SSIS FTP Task got corrupted a couple hours after the package was scheduled as a SQL Server Agent Job on SQL Server 2005.
I had a SQL Server 2000 DTS package doing the same thing, but it was never an issue then. I was using the FTP Task there along with an Excel Data source in that and has been working for a couple years atleast with never any corruption related issues.
In the SSIS SQL Server 2005 package I am using an FTP Task with an Excel Connection Manager and Excel source and the Excel file got corrupted within a couple hours of the package being scheduled as a SQL Server Agent job.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Any inputs will be appreciated.
Just as an fyi, the excel file has a lot of vlookups.

I have a package which is creating a excel file 'ExcelName.xls' and storing in 'E:ReportingDelivered_Reports'. Now I have to attach this report using send mail task and send it to given mail id. To achieve this I have configured the send mail task and in Expression Builder, I have selected the below expression:
"E:ReportingDelivered_ReportsExcelName_"+
((DT_WSTR,4)Year(@[System::StartTime]))+
RIGHT("0"+((DT_WSTR,2)Month(@[System::StartTime])),2)+
RIGHT("0"+((DT_WSTR,2)Day(@[System::StartTime])),2)+".xls"
I need file name should be 'ExcelName_20150601' where suffix is the current date. But I recieve file which name is 'ExcelName', which is the original file name.
I want to open a excel file in script task and assigned the wraptext to one of the column. In the below code the final variable gives the path of the excel file. But i got the error at excel.workbook.open.

I have an excel sheet that has a bunch of columns. Some of these columns have static data but there are a few of the columns that retrieve data by making calls to servers and returning values that populate these columns. Usually about 30 mins before the columns are populated.
I then need to to load the excel sheet into a table.
I was wondering if there was anyway by which we can make the connection to the excel sheet and then force a delay of about 30 mins before it starts retriving the data?
Is this possible in ssis? Or can I achieve it by some other means?
Thanks for any help in advance
We have installed these custom task on multiple workstations but when we develop a script on one machine and then try to open it on another developers machine it gives us error messages on all of these task. Why is it doing this?
When double clicking on it it tells me could not be created because an error was encountered during its upgrade to current version. The icons now have a i in a quote symbol on the left and the red X on the right side and will not open.

I’m trying to follow the article http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/031506-1.aspx. It gives a sample to download at the bottom which I did. I’m trying to take a look at the Stored Proc that were created in the PagingData.mdf. The only thing included in the App_Data folder is PagingData.mdf file. How can I open the DB or attach it to my SQL2005 server? There is no .ldf file included in the sample so the attaching is failing.
Hi, I have a client who has a current website based on an MS SQL database. I am building a new website that will be in MySQL.
I have never used MSSQL before and the only information that i have been sent by the old web designer is a .bak file (which is the latest back-up of the MS SQL info) and the user name and password for the current on-line databases.
I dont know how to open this .bak file, ideally i would like to get it into MS excel or MS access. I have downloaded
SQL Server Management Studio Express and SQL Server Configuration Manager but i dont know what to do next (and am really confused!)
Can anyone advise me of the steps that i need to take to get the data out of the .bak file?
I would be VERY greateful of any assistance.
Thanks in advance,
Rebecca.
I have the Excel Connection Manager and Source to read the contents from an Excel file. For some reason couple of numeric fields from the Excel worksheet are brought over as nulls even though they have a value of 300 and 150. I am not sure why this is happening. I looked into the format of the fields and they are set to General in Excel, I tried setting them to numeric and that did not help.
All the other content from the excel file is coming thru except for the 2 numeric fields.
I tried to bring the contents from the excel source to a text file in csv format and for some reason the 2 numeric fields came out as blank.
Any inputs on getting this addressed will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

File system error: Error opening file; Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90SharedASConfigmsmdredir.ini is not a disk file or file is not accessible.
Hi there,

I don't know how to open that cube file.
Can anyone let me know how should i proceed to browse contents of that cube? I tried to link and open using Foodmart datasource(standard example in MS Analysis services) however unable to locate it.
Does it needed to create new data source for browisng stand alone cube file?
My customer has not supplied anything other than xyz.cub cube file.
Thanks in advance.

Hello everybody,
I need held. I have to do a migration from DTS files to DTSX files.
I have SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and I would simply like to edit a DTS package in order to remake a SSIS one.
In fact I dont want to use the migration wizad.
That seems very easy but I don't manage to edit a DTS file.
So how to do?
Thanks.
Samuel
PS : When I use the migration wizard, I have the following problem : the task is stopped as so far as all the SQL Server 2000 tasks aren't migrated to SQL Server 2005. For instance, the migration of the SQL Server Analysis Services task and of the data-mining prevision are not supported (Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsMigration).
I just installed SQL Server 2005 on my PC (the developer's edition)yesterday. I have some scripts written by one of my coworkers tocreate some tables and stored procedures in a database that I'vealready created on my computer. Whenever I go to open the script file(whose icon shows that it's a SQL Server Query File and I've got thefile type set to open with SQLWB - SQL Server Management Studio), thefile opens in Notepad instead of appearing in the query window. Mycoworker told me that he just dragged and dropped the file in the querywindow and I tried that and got the same results (opening in Notepad).I can copy and paste the cotents of the file into the query window andrun it but of course this gets cumbersome for long scripts.Is there a setting or something that I need to change? I have SQLServer 2000 installed on my computer too.Thanks.Molly J. Fagan

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the Control flow tab, I have an Execute SQL Task that outputs full Result set into a variable of an object type.

Would you please give me a hint of code how I can go upon.
HI, I need to trigger some packages upon existance of specific files in a particular directory. Sound lkike the file watcher task (from SQLIS) would do the job but I am wondering what is the difference of using this tool instead of a for each loop container. I mean, If a file exists in a directory, the for each loop container will detect it. Since the file watcher is not a service, the package containing it needs to ne scheduled on a regular basis for the filewatcher to detect the file, right? So, a for each loop container would do the job? So, waht wouldbe the advantage of using the file watcher task?
Thank you,

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.

Good Day to all,
Hope you could help me w/ my project.
Im creating a DTS Package. The source data will be coming from an excel file going to my SQL table. The DTS package is scheduled to execute daily, but the source data will be coming from different excel filename.
Example, today the DTS will get data from Data092506.xls. Then tomorrow, the data will be coming from Data092606.xls.
How can I do this? The DTS I've already done has a fixed source data file.
Please help.
Thank you so much.
God Bless.
hello,
I have a question about opening files in the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.
In the old Query Analyzer from SQL 2000 I can open SQL Files via drag & drop (from explorer to QA) or open it with a double click in the explorer. Then the Files opened, if I had actual a connection to a server / database (QA is stared with one file and has a connection to Server/Datebase), with this connection.
Now in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Management Studio I'll be asked everytime for Server and have to get the database from the database list - it does not connect automaticly to server/database, that is actual connected (I have opened a file with the connection and a connected database in the object explorer).
Someone do not have this problem - but we found no option to set it up.
Any ideas?
thanks &
best regards,
Christian Kiedels
I'm copying files to a folder with the naming convention as follows in the source folder:
CM_ABC_MY_TEST.txt
In the destination folder, this filename needs to appear as:
CM_XYZ_MY_TEST.txt
In my File System Task, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need an expression with a replace, substring, etc. But am having a hard time nailing down the exact syntax.
