Problem With FILENAME As @variable
Jul 20, 2005
Hi.
I am trying to create a database based on variables from xp_regread.
Somehow I can´t pass @dBDir as FILENAME.
I get the following error-message :
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 24
Line 24: Incorrect syntax near '@dBDir'.
What am I doing wrong ?
I think the problem is somehow related to a datatype-problem or
it is simply not possible to pass a variable to a "create
database"-statement.
I have checked the xp_regread-output...naturally :) ...and it is correct.
Hope someone can help :)
regards
Michael
----------------------------------------
Source-code is as follows:
USE master
GO
DECLARE @dBDir nvarchar(128)
DECLARE @dBlog nvarchar(128)
EXECUTE xp_regread 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE','SOFTWARESchool-ProjectIRPF
Database','dBDir',@param = @dBDir OUTPUT
SET @dBDir =@dBDir+'IRPF.mdf'
SET @dBlog =@dBDir+'IRPF.ldf'
CREATE DATABASE IRPF
ON PRIMARY
( NAME = IRPF_db,
FILENAME = @dBDir)
LOG ON
( NAME = 'IRPF_log',
FILENAME = @dBlog)
GO

Does anyone know how to execute a directory listing of a file and return the file name to a variable in SQL? For instance, there's a file called c:datach20011010.txt and i execute the following:
xp_cmdshell 'dir c:datach*.txt'
or any other transact sql or procedure, how can i get the filename into a variable...all in sql?
FYI - I need to pass a filename to a process so that it can bcp the data into a temp table. But I don't know the filename at the time the process is setup/scheduled.
TIA,
Mike Nolen

Hope I can make this clear...
I have to download a file via FTP from one of our vendors, the filename is MMDDYYYY.zip, this is a weekly file and is posted between Tuesday and Thursday, so basically I never know exactly what the file is going to be called, to fix that, I added a FTP Task that will download a file if the date = today (Today = Thursday, when the job kicks off), if this fails, try a file where the name = today-1 (Wednesday), if this fails, try today-2 (Tuesday), all of that inside of a Sequence Container and with MaximumErrorCount set to 3. This is fine and it works fine, good.
Now my other issue, the .txt file inside the zip file (1080.txt), after being decompressed, needs to be renamed to MMDDYYYY.txt, where MMDDYYY = to the file I downloaded, but I never know what the file is going to named (MMDDYYYY, MMDD-1YYYY, MMDD-2YYYY).
Is it possible to output the filename of the file that I successfully download to a variable, so I can re-use name?
Any other thoughts?

I'm trying to write a stored procedure in SQL that will make a copy of a file and then append the current date to the end of the copy's filename. I'm storing the date in a variable called @currentdate which is defined as:
declare
@currentdate varchar(10)
set @currentdate='' + 'select datepart(month,getdate())' + '-' + 'select datepart(day,getdate())' + '-' + 'select datepart(year,getdate())'
Here is the SQL code I'm using:
exec xp_cmdshell 'copy "C:DevelopmentParticipant Limits ReportParticipant Limits Report template.xls" "C:DevelopmentParticipant Limits ReportParticipant Limits Report ' + @currentdate + '.xls"'
GO
The resulting file should have a filename something like "Participant Limits Report 3-31-2008". I get an "Incorrect syntax near '+'." error.

Why does the raw file have an option for a variable path and the flat file destination does not? Not having this feature makes it impossible to work with variable environments. Please add this option to the Flatfile Destination.

Hi All,
may be i'm asking a question that was discussed for billion time, but i can't find exact answer.
So i have access database that generates .xml or xls files by pressing button. So user select from drop down menu id ( e.g. 100,101,102,103 etc) and then file 101.xml or 102.xml or 101.xls or 102.xls is generating.
i need SSIS package to be configured to get filename is variable and then use insert data from xml or xls file to the related table
I don't understand how to pass file name through variable to SSIS package and then work with so called "variable".xls or
"variable".xml file. Could you please give detailed answers if it's possible?
Your early reply will be very much appreciated
Thank you

Is there a way to configure the XML source component to use a schema file whose filename is in a variable? Now I know it doesn't make any sense to have an XML source whose schema can vary, however, I have a parent package with a ton of child packages, all of which process the same XML input using the same schema. What I would like to do is for the parent to load the filename of the XML input file into a variable, and the filename of the XML schema file into another. Each child would have its XML source configured to pickup these variables from the parent, so that if the location or name of the schema changes, I don't have to edit each package one-by-one. However, it doesn't seem possible to specify anything but a filename for the schema. Any suggestions?

I am wanting to capture the file name I am using to load data from and use it in a SQL statement to insert it along with the data that I load.
I am using a ForEach container to load all my .txt files but cannot figure out how to capture the name of each source file as it loops through the files and then add it to my insert statement that is populating my history table. I would think that the ForEach container has that information, but I do not see how to access it and assign it to a variable that I could use in my SQL statement.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I want to create a SP that creates a new database, so I script-ed out the db and paste the script into new SP gui (SQL 2000). I want to pass it a variable for the data/log file location that is not the default location. The original script looks like this:
CREATE DATABASE [PWRR_DDS] ON (NAME = N'PWRR_DDS_Data', FILENAME = N'F:SQL SERVER FILESDatabasesdbName.mdf' , SIZE = 3118, FILEGROWTH = 10%) LOG ON (NAME = N'PWRR_DDS_Log', FILENAME = N'F:SQL SERVER FILESDatabasesdbName_Log.LDF' , SIZE = 5000, FILEGROWTH = 10%) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
I replaced the path of the FILENAME variable like this:
CREATE DATABASE [PWRR_DDS] ON (NAME = N'PWRR_DDS_Data', FILENAME = @DBPath, SIZE = 5000, FILEGROWTH = 10%) LOG ON (NAME = N'PWRR_DDS_Log', FILENAME = @LogPath , SIZE = 5000, FILEGROWTH = 10%) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS,
declaring the variables as char(500). The error I get is "Incorrect sybtax near '@DBPath'.
Any ideas for workaround?
Thanks,
EJM

I have a raw file destination and am using a variable to store the filename. In an earlier task, I create the value in the variable. User:Filename ... set to C:Test.txt.
When I run the package, I get the "Error: 0xC0202070 at DFT Tekelec Call Events, RFD Tekelec [1365]: The file name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters". error. I then set a breakpoint to examine my variables on the DataFlow pre-execute event and found my variable showing the value "C:\Text.txt" ... so apparently XMLA is adding the escape character when it stores the value in the variable but not retracting it when it uses the value as the filename.
What am I missing? Can I not use pathing in the variable? And if that's the case, how do I specify a path. Went back through my Rational Guide to Scripting SSIS but did not find this addressed specifically ... my second option being build the fiilename by script and set the raw file destination property directly via script.

Hi,
I am migrating one of my DTS package to SSIS.
My task is to read the filename from a database table and transfer the flat file data in to a table.
In SSIS,I am able to fetch the file name using a Data Reader Source; but how to pass this fileName parameter to Flat File Source ?
In DTS I have used ActiveX script to pass filename variable as flatfilecon.Source.
Any help ?
Thanks,

Hi Champs,
Scenario Configuration : VB.net 2005 Code, WebService for Executing SSIS on Server, SSIS deployed on the Database Server
Problem Description : We are developing windows applicaiton in which we call webservice which was deployed on the same server where SSIS packages are deployed.
Now from Code we are passing FilePath name in variable and execute the Package. But the SSis result says that
The file name "\computernamefol1fol2fol3fol4abc.txt" specified in the connection was not valid.
More Information:
1. Full Permission are given on this network folder.
2. Package executes successfully from SSIS development solution (BIS solution)
3. Deployed packed executes successfully from the Database Server.
4. From Development pc packege executes successfully.
5. Other packages deployed on the same server executed suucessfully with same configuration and scenario.
Only this package is not executing.
-- the only differece with this package with other is -
using ".txt" extension in Flat file connection and using VB Script task
Can any one suggest the appropirate solution for this problem...
Thanks

If you use "SELECT filename FROM sys.sysdatabases" this will return
the full path , such as "E:MSSQLdatamyData.MDF" ,
is it possible to return just the "myData.MDF" part of it?
I know that you can parse the string , but is it stored somewhere else , or is there a command that will return just the physical file name ?

Hi Guys, got a question that I'm not sure there is an answer to other than 'No Way'.
I have to export a file whose filename must include a sequence number. I have created the table to hold the seq# and the code to increment it. My problem is how do I include the seq# in the output filename. I am using the Flat File Destination tool for exporting. should I be using another tool?
Any suggestions?
Thanx,

Hi,
I am using a foreach loop to go through the .txt files inside a folder.
Using a variable I can pickup the filenames the loop is going through.
At present there is a sql task inside the foreach loop which takes the filename as a parameter and passes this filename to a stored procedure.
Now I would like to add one extra step before this sql task. Would like to have a dataflow with flatfile source which connects to oledb destination.
The question is:
While in the loop, how is it possible to pass the filename to the flatfile source using the FileName variable which I have created?
Please note, this is a different question to my other post.
Many Thanks

Hi,
I think I may have mis-guided some of you in my previous post.
So I thought I explain it properly this time in a new post...
Here is the description of the ssis package:
Inside the connection manager there is a connection to the sql server database and a flat file connection.
The flat file connection inside the connection manager has the expression set
i.e. ConnectionString set to @[User::FileName]
And so there is nothing inside the connectionstring property of this flatfile connection.
Inside control flow:
1)
Dataflow which contains a flat file source and an ole db destination
The flatfile source is supposed to pickup the .csv file that gets passed to the ssis package.
Then the ole db destination is where the .csv gets imported into a sql server table.
2)
Back in the control flow, there is a task that calls a stored procedure with the parameter which is set to FileName
The question is:
How does this FileName parameter gets set before it is passed to the stored procedure?
Many thanks

Hi,
Using a ssis package I have several tasks.
A variable is also created called FileName.
There is a flat file connection called InputFileName.
initially when I designed the package, I hardcoded the pass of one of the .csv files into the path of the flatfile connection.
There is a dataflow which has flatfile source and oledb destination. These two basically pickup the file and import into the database using mapping.
So therefore the package works and data gets imported into the database.
Then I used the variable to make the filename dynamic. So I removed the hardcoded connectionstring in the InputFileName.
Is this the right thing to do to make the package dynamic? I would like to pass in any .csv filename and so the package runs.
My question is now that the connectionstring is deleted but instead placed an expression for the filename, then how does the system know which file to use?
Thanks

Hi, I want to get my SSIS package to look for a file in a named directory that has a ceratin string in the filename.
example - My file is in a folder called data and the filename is 'System_UT_INCR_BOOKINGHEADER_20080214000000.TXT' Every day the fiel name changes to reflect the current date. I need my package to search for the String "BOOKINGHEADER". I know I need to create a variable with that value but I am not sure (using the example below) how to write the code to do this.
Imports System.IO
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Public Class ScriptMain
Public Sub Main()
Try
File.Move(Dts.Variables("Source").Value.ToString, Dts.Variables("Destination").Value.ToString)
Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, "", "File Moved Succesfully", "", 0, True)
Catch ex As Exception
Dts.Events.FireError(1, "", "Source file or destinations does not exist", "", 0)
End Try
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success

I take a backupfile every night and its named like 20070911_xvall.bak.
Now I need a procedure for an automatic restore in another sql server but I have to do a check to se that the date of the backupfile is the same as actual date so it can¨t happened that an older backupfile being restored.
Is it a good way to take actual date och build up the wanted filename and how can I then check if the file exist, its stored on another computer?
Anyone who has some sample I can start with?

I have a question regarding the report file which is included in an email, when a subscription is created:
Is it possible to programmatically add something to the name of the created file of the subscription? I want to have one parameter of the report, which is a date, added at the end of the filename to let the clients distinguish between different report files.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I have inherited a database that has a table called "Resources" that contains a field called "FilePath". FilePath is a VarChar(100) and contains the server path and filename of an XML file on the server hard disk.
I need to join the data in the XML with rows in the "Resources" table (and other tables).
Is it possible to get a Stored Procedure to load the XML file into a temporary table?
Is loading it into a table the best way to do it - or can I join directly to the XML file somehow?
What is the best approach? (I know nothing about XML in SQL Server yet)
Thanks in advance,
Chiz.

Basically like the topic says, I need to populate a filename with data from other columns and im having a tough time doing it.
Code:
UPDATE nice_cls_calls_0027
SET vcarchivepath = 'G:Nice Storageicestorage.safeautonet.netSafe Auto Task - Logger (807101)2006_feb_1SC_807101_'start_time'_'=stop_time'_'=channel'_'=cls_call_id'.aud'
I need start_time, stop_time, channel, and cls_call_id to populate the filename. The first 2 are datetime fields in the db and no conversion is needed for them, just raw data. The remaining two are smallint and raw data is needed there also. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TY
