Reading A File Name That Changes
Mar 13, 2007
Brand new to SSIS so bear with me, if something is obvious.
I want to be able to read a file from a certain directory. But the file name changes every day. So today its File20061203 tomorrow File20061304 or the next day it could be FileNB4434. The format in the file will always be the same though. I just want for a user to be able to drop a file in a directory and the package pick it up once a day.
Would I have to to create a script task or could I use a variable. I have been trying to use the variable but have not been able to get them to work. This calls for only looking for 1 text file in a folder but any additional links that show some good variable examples would be appreciated. One where only part of the variable changes File(Variable)Division.txt
Thanks in advance

I am trying to create and later read a data file from a package deployed in SSISDB, but it is not reading it while it is successfully creating the file. The same package when run from the file system package, runs successfully. Generating ispac and deploying in SSISDB is running for infinite time. Is it a permission issue?

I have some records that have been deleted. I need to find out who did it and to do that I need to read the logs. Are there any utilities that will allow me to read login 7.0? How about 6.5?

Hi
I have a problem with SSIS in that I need to read an XML file in from a URL,which brings me back the below XML. What I need to be able to do is essentially create a single record, including the nested XML <image> into the same record. This information then needs to be entered into a database table.
What I found is that if I use a data flow component, and have an XML source pointing to this URL, it essentially creates a different output for every level of nesting. This causes me serious issues because I would then have to somehow get to the information in the <image> tag, and then get everything below that, etc, to be able to get the images related to each <stock> record. This is a pain.
I also looked at using an XML task, where I could use an XSLT to transform to the required output, however, I can't point this XML task to a URL to retrieve the XML.
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it
Thanks
Darrell

I am trying to read from a datasource that is a CSV file using C#, but for some reason I keep getting an error that says:
System.Exception: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Syntax error in FROM clause.
My code looks like this:
String sql = " SELECT IDnumber FROM report.csv WHERE username = @Username ";
ArrayList parameters = new ArrayList();
parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("@Username", Username));
DataTable dt = OleDbUtility.getDataTable(sql, parameters, OleDbUtility.GetCNetIDConnectionString());
It worked with an Excel file, so any ideas on this one?
It seems like the connection string is fine...

It's probably a really easy thing to do, but I can't find out how to do it, so hopefully somebody can spare the time to help.
I want to read in T-SQL contained in a file held on disk and execute it in a stored procedure.
Anybody know how to get the contents of the text file into a variable so I can exec it ?
Thanks for your time.

When importing data from a source server it is useful to know which rows have changed since the last import. Is there a good way to get this information from the SQL Server log files? Does "dbcc log" provide this function, for example? Is this something that is done a lot or would it be considered a kludge?
Thanks,

I get the following error when reading a flat file : [Credit Information 1 [1]] Error: Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "AccountName" returned status value 4 and status text "Text was truncated or one or more characters had no match in the target code page.".
I did check all the mappings, and everything seems to be fine, the field is read in as a string. I also check for any strange characters that can possibly cause this error but the value of the field only contains a person's name and spaces at the end.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be the cause of the error?

I have a report that is based on a query that is read from a .sql file and is executed in the stored procedure. I found this code on the internet. When I run the SP in Query Analyser it tells me that "2 rows have been affected". I don't know why I don't get the data. Any help??
Stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE TimeTracker_Report_ClientNumbers2
AS
DECLARE @SQLQuery as NVARCHAR(4000)
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #tmpQuery (Query NVARCHAR(4000))
BULK INSERT #tmpQuery FROM '\servernameQueriesReport_ClientNumbers.sql'
SELECT @SQLQuery = Query FROM #TMPQUERY
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQLQuery
END
GO
and Report_ClientNumbers.sql contains the following query:
SELECT Name, ClientNumber FROM Companies WHERE Not ClientNumber IS NULL ORDER BY ClientNumber

I added a field to an exisiting table (CHAR 30), and I added to field to the BCP Format File.
The BCP worked fine before the new field, and still works fine when I exclude the new field
from the format file, but with the new field I receive the following error:
SQLState = S1000, NativeError = 0
Error = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]I/O error while reading BCP format file
(2 row(s) affected)
Here is a copy of my format file:
7.0
11
1 SQLCHAR 0 6 "" 1 Empl_ser_no
2 SQLCHAR 0 2 "" 2 Empl_stat_cd
3 SQLCHAR 0 1 "" 3 Guest_type_fl
4 SQLCHAR 0 30 "" 4 Job_tl
5 SQLCHAR 0 14 "" 5 Pager_no
6 SQLCHAR 0 1 "" 6 Security_Clear_fl
7 SQLCHAR 0 9 "" 7 SSN
8 SQLCHAR 0 30 "" 8 Emer_cont_nm
9 SQLCHAR 0 14 "" 9 Emer_cont_no
10 SQLCHAR 0 1 "" 10 Citizen_fl
11 SQLCHAR 0 30 "
" 11 Job_Res
The input file is just a fixed positonal text file, and I have checkid it 100 times- it is fine.
Any sugestions from any BCP gurus out there? THANKS

I have text output files which are semi-structured.(Headers + irregular length tables below)
Is there a simple method of getting them into sql format(line by line) to try and extract data from them?
I know this won't be easy but its been worrying me for a long time. I have a method of importing the data into excel, but although difficult, it must be possible to get a system to get it into sql server. This must be a fairly common issue.

Hi,
I have a requirement where I should be reading the file (I will use File system Task for this) and the header content. I should be able to read the header, validate and when the validation succeeds , I should start process the rest of the file.
To elaborate this further, take a sample Example. Assume that the header will have the date information. In a given folder I should read the file, will check the date (header being the first line of the file). If it matches the current date, I will start processing and on completion I will archive my files.
Can someone help me on this sample. Thanks
Regards,
Explorer

Hi,
The suggestion to do this is buried deep in one of my posts, however I still do not have a clear idea of how to do this.
I have a flat file which has several "bad rows" in it. Because file error redirection is buggy, I need a manual approach to get rid of these incomplete rows in my data file.
Phil, you suggested I read the file as one long string, then parse out the bad rows (using a script?).... however I have no idea as to how to actually do this.
I was wondering if it's possible to clarify the steps involved in doing this, or perhaps point me to an example I can look at, as I cannot seem to get around this problem on my own.
Thanks much!!

Hi all,
Whilst reading in records from an excel source via the SQL command method I've stumbled across a problem.
my SQL query takes in all records where the date column is not NULL, this ensures that only populated rows are obtained. If the date is in a format that is incorrect i'd really like the whole data flow to fail. However... What seems to happen is that any rows with a fault in the date column are just missed out and not pulled through the pipeline. I have tried changing the error output from fail component to ignore error and redirect row but nothing seems to catch it.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may be the case?
Many thanks,
Grant

Hello,
I am making my first attempt at creating a script for a Script Task. The script needs to do the following;
1. find the length of each record in a single fixed width flat file
-file location; C:LearningSettlementDataTestSC15_CopiesSingleFile
-file name; CDNSC.CDNSC.SC0015.111062006 (no file extension)
2. if a record is found that is longer than 384 characters;
a. copy the record out to a text file
-location;C:LearningSettlementDataTestSC15_CopiesErrantRecords
-file name; ErrantRecords.txt
b. delete record from the flat file where the record length is > 384.
If I can get this to work on a single file, I want to implement it with multiple files. I would imagine that using a ForEachLoop container with the script task 'inside' would be the way to go for multiple files. I have a connection manager set up for the single file and a MultiFlatFile connection manager set up for the whole collection of files. All of the files have the same schema. I don't know if the connection managers are going to be useful to me with what I'm trying to do, but I have them set up.
If you have some input on where I can find resources on how to do this, or have some code to pass along, please share.
Thank you for your help!
