Renaming The File After DTS Package Execution
Nov 1, 2000
Hi,
After executing a dts package to load data from a file to a SQL table. I need to rename the file after the load.
Could any one give me a code sample so that I can add that as a task after the execution of the load in the same package

When you run a deployed package manually, there is a nice load of information output showing you what is going on, this would be very good log file info. Is there anyway to write the same output to a log file when the package is run as a Job from SQL Agent?

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.

I created a new SSIS solution, right-clicked the default name "Package.dtsx" (under SSIS Packages), then renamed it. A dialog appears asking "Do you want to rename the package object as well"?
What are they referring to and what are the consequences of doing/not doing so?

I am writing a utility that browses all steps, connections, and tasks in a given DTS package. One of the functions is to rename each item using its description, ie, removing spaces, formatting it, and then appending it to the standard DTSTask_ActiveScriptTask_MyCustomNameDerivedFromTh eDescription. I am being sure to change everything to match this in both the Step and task for a given set. The behaviour that is occuring is this. The package appears to be named correctly, and even seems to run correctly, but none of the precedence constraints, it, OnFail, OnSuccess, OnCOmpletion seem to show up in the DTS Designer Environment. The package does seem to be running correctly, any idea what would cause this behaviour?

Hi All,
We have a SSIS package which is accessing a remote Windows file share location.
The package first moves the file from folder-1 to folder-2 and also renames the file during this process.
Then the package reads the file (using a flat file connection FF_SRC) from folder-2 and renames it again after processing it successfully.
The permissions given to the user executing the package on folder-2 are: Read+Write+Modify+List folder contents.
We are facing an error:
Code SnippetFile or directory "Z:folder-2XYZ.txt" represented by connection "FF_SRC" does not exist.
We are getting the above error when the SSIS package is trying to rename the file the second time in folder-2.
However, the file exists in folder-2.
The OS is Windows 2000 Server SP4.
Any ideas why this could be happening and how it could be resolved?
Best Regards,
Avnip

I have a package that has multiple data flow tasks. At the end of a task, key data is written into a raw file (file name stored in a variable) that is used as a data source for the next task. Each task requires a success from the preceding task.
Here's the rub:
If I execute the entire package, the results of the package (number of records of certain tasks) differs significantly from when I execute each step in the package in turn (many more records e.g. 5 vs 350).
I get the feeling that the Raw file is read into memory before it is flushed by the previous task, or that the next task begins preparation tasks too early.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am running on Server 2003 64 (although the same thing happens when deployed on a Server 2003 32 machine)
Thanks

My current project requires me to both rename the MDB file for an Access database and rename the table it contains. The Access files comes in with random names, each containing one table with a specific name. Based on the table name it contains, I rename both the file and the interior table to a standard name which a later package in the process references.
A foreach container loops through all the mdb files in the applicable directory, containing a script task and a file system task. The script task uses GetOleDbSchemaTable to extract the table name, then loops through an array of table names from the client's configuration, comparing it to a similar array of constant names and getting the matching one. The file system task then uses that found name (or the original table name if a conversion is not found) to rename the file to match that standard name. So far, so good.
Now I have to rename the table within the file as well. All of the examples of code I'm finding on the 'net refernce ADOX, but I haven't been able to figure out how to use that in a script task, assuming that's what I want to do in the first place.
Anyone have any experience with doing things like this?

I'm having trouble working this out in SSIS. I am trying to use a File System task to rename a file using an expression so that file.zip will be renamed to filemmyy.zip at the end of every month (for instance this month would be file0506.zip).
I am using the destination expression variable. But I'm not sure what to put for DestinationConnection. It seems to want a file name, but the file name is going to be variable, so I'm not sure what to put.
Any ideas?

I have had a go at using a package with a script to rename and move a file and it works well by using a script task in a package with source and destination variables. See script at bottom
But in my scenario the file thst comes in every day will have a slightly different name. It will be called "System_UT_INCR_BOOKINGHEADER_20080228000000.TXT"
On the 28th Feb. The date part of the title changes everyday.
SO i need to adjust my "Source" variable which is currently just a string with a value of "C:DatafilesimportsSystem_UT_INCR_BOOKINGHEADER_20080228000000.TXT" So it will only ever look for that exact file name

I'm moving a database (XYZtest) from the test server to the production server via sp_detach/sp_attach. I want the logical file names to be XYZ_data, rather than XYZtest_data, etc. I can easily rename the disk files, but how do I rename the logical file names?
Thanks,

Hi,
I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.
I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.
if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.
To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".
My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.

Is there a way to rename the logical file for a database. For example, if I am moving a development database into production, I can use backup - but the backup takes the logical file names of the database and puts it into my production server. Now I have a production database with "dev_data1" for a logical file.....Can I change that name....?
Thanks!

Is there a way to rename the logical file names? I'm not talkingspecifically about the physical files, because those can be changedduring a restore, but the values immediately to the left of those inEnterprise Manager such as DBName_Data and DBName_log. EnterpriseManager lets me change them during a restore, but when I do it gives anerror. Any ideas?

Hi,
I am using a DTS package to extract data from a table and export it to an excel file. This task needs to run on a weekly basis and the filename should contain the date the file was created. I have sucessfully used the activex scropt below to rename .txt files but when I try to use it for Excel files it always defaults to the default filename I specified in the destination file properties. Can anyone show me how to do this for Excel files?
'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic ActiveX Script
'************************************************************************
Option Explicit
Function Main()
Dim sFilename, oPkg, oConn
Dim sYear, sMonth, sDay
If Month(Now) > 10 Then sMonth = Month(Now) Else sMonth = "0" & Month(Now)
If Day(Now) > 10 Then sDay = Day(Now) Else sDay = "0" & Day(Now)
sFilename = "\servernameD$Daily ReportsFlagcodes " & sDay & sMonth & Year(Now) & ".xls"
Set oPkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent
Set oConn = oPkg.Connections(2)
oConn.DataSource = sFileName
Set oConn = Nothing
Set oPkg = Nothing
Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success
End Function
Thanks for your help

Hi
I am trying to move a flat file to an archive folder and then rename the file to include the date and time of runtime.
I have set up a File System Task to move the file which works fine and a second File System Task to rename. The IsDestinationPathVariable is set to TRUE and the DestinationVariable is called User::Error_Log_File_Rename. There is an expression as follows:
@[User::Error_Log_File_Rename] = "Y:\SSIS_PUD_Upload\Error_Log_Archive\Update_Error_Messages - " +REPLACE((DT_WSTR, 30)(DT_DBDATE)GETDATE() + "-" + (DT_WSTR, 30)(DT_DBTIME)GETDATE(),":","-") +".txt"
which is the required file name.
If I go into the expression and evaluate it it will give me the current date and time. However when I run it as part of the package say 10 minutes later the file is renamed using the same date and time from 10 minutes before when I evaluated the expression. If I wait another 10 minutes and run the package again it still retains the original date and time.
Is there a way to get the expression evaluated with the current date and time during execution of the package?
Thanks in advance
Scott

Is there any danger with renaming the LOGICAL file names behind the database?
There are a bunch of databases that were restored copies and all of them have the same logical database file name. I'm trying to get some growth data so I want the logical files to be different (prefer them to match the actual database name) so I can more easily identify them.
For instance:
database_id name type_desc name physical_name
1 DLMdb1 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb1.mdf
1 DLMdb1 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb1.ldf
2 DLMdb2 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb2.mdf
2 DLMdb2 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb2.ldf
3 DLMdb3 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb3.mdf
3 DLMdb3 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb3.ldf
Am I safe to rename the logical names? I can't think of anything that references those logical file names that I would be breaking [backups, applications].

I wrote a stored procedure that calls a DTS package that imports a file into a SQL Server table, then executes some commands on that table. How can I tell that the DTS package has completed, so that I can continue with the next command? Here is my code:
-- Run the DTS package
EXEC @Result = msdb..sp_start_job @job_name = 'MyJob'
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:02'
-- Call the table that the package created
SELECT * FROM <imported_table> WHERE ...
I had to insert a WAITFOR statement to make this work. Any other suggestions as to how to know when to continue?
Thank you.

Is there a method to either:
A) Kick of a DTS package directly from a stored procedure without shelling out to the DTSRun facility.
B) Kick off a scheduled job containing a DTS task from a stored procedure?
What's the best method?

Hi Friends,
I need help from you.
I am working on SSIS packages for ETL purpose.
The version of SQL Server i am using is SQL Server 2005.
In Brief , the working of current ETL is as follows.
In ODS database i have 2 tables i.e Table_A & Table_B which gets loaded from another 2 staging tables A & B.
And using this 2 tables data will be loaded into a target table i.e Trg_A.
The ETL packages are executed by stored procedures by creating a job within the stored procedure.
The loading of the trg table is little tricky.
Before that loading of Table_A is implemented in a single SSIS package.
and loading of Table_B is been implemented in another SSIS package.
In the trg table there are two columns which will be getting updated as and when each table is loaded.
so for the first time if i run the package which is resposible for loading Table_A, it loads values into Table_A and once done it will updates (col1) in the target table.
Once after the complete of the execution of Package1.
Now i will kick off the second ssis package which loads the data into Table_B and updates the trg table's columns (col2).
Now the actual problem what i am facing is:
For loading Table_A and updating the col1 in Trg table i will be receving more than 5 excel file every month on weekly basis.
I cannot even gather all the files and run using a For-Loop counter.
So presently i am loading data excel file per week .
Similarly loading of table_B.
For a week if i am executing both the packages which loads the Table_A and updates the Trg(col1) and Table_B and updates Trg(col2), then i am getting a Deadlock Error and the entire ETL is getting messed up.
Now my requirement is , Eventhough the 2 packages are run in parallel , there could certain milli seconds time difference while start of the execution in Job Monitor.
I need to implement a Queing Mechanism which takes care of running the packages in a sequential manner rather than in parallel. i .e i need to ensure only one SSIS package is running in Job Monitor. Only after successful execution of either one the package, then only the second package should start its execution.
If we can implement such a queing mechanism , then my problem is solvedl.
I need some suggestions on this regard in implementing the Queing mechanism in a programatic approach using SQL Server Job Related MetaData Tables.
or else is there in server parameter or initialization parameters which can be set at Database level which suffice my requirement.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Looking for sincere comments on this regards.
Thanks in advance.

I have a package that has 12 data pump tasks all executing in parallel.
It is transferring raw data from an AS400 DW to a MSSQLSvr Staging area.
Each pump task on completion assigns values to a set of global variables, then having done this passes these as parameters to a sproc which inserts them into a table.
This seems to work for 4 or 5 of the pump tasks but, the rest of the rows in the table are all the same because the remaining pump tasks are all executing before the sprocs.
Is there a way to make sure that the entire set of job steps completes, before starting another job set of steps while still keeping them running in parallel.
I had wondered if there was a way to use the PumpComplete phase of each pump step to fire off the sproc, but can't see how you execute the step.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi:
I need a user to pass an input to a package from a VB form, and then want to show progress/errors in the form.
I have been able to use Application. LoadFromSqlServer and I then set pkg.Variables.(MyVariable) to the required value before calling Execute.
Works fine so far.
I dont know how to show progress. The DTSExecResult just returns a Cryptic Success /Failure status message.
Is there a way to log the errors if any to my Windows form? I have seen samples on Console Apps(see below) but I would prefer to show it in my Windows form in a text Box or something, appending each error result to the text.
TIA

I have basic knowledge of SSIS and will appreciate if some can suggest a way (with example if possible), to solve this problem.
I have an SSIS package that requires execution of another package, lets say B. This I am able to do using the 'Execute package' task. Now, what I really want to do is, I wish to check if a perticular table 'A' has rows that satisfy a given condition. In other words, I wish to execute Package 'B' onle if Table 'A' has rows. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance.

hello to every body.. well i have a problem.. well i created a package the task of which is to update thedimensions and the fact tables from the tables of source.
i created a configuration file with all the parameters that are nedded (connections managers; parameters of packages).this config file will include all the paremeters need for the execution of other packages
In that package i call an other package (execution package task). this package normally will take the parameters of the parent package isn't it??(i put the parameters of this package to the config file of the parent package).
i must also note that for the second package called there is also a package...
i must also note that i have 2 DWHs (a and b) for testing.
the problem is that when i execute the parent package to DWH b , the sacond package called do not take the parameters of the parent package. instaed it looks to its XML configuration file(in a different location of the config file of the parent package) which contains the connection parameters to DWH a and it calls strored procedures from the DWH a (instead of calling at SP from DHW b).
any ideas??
thnx a LOT0

Hi All,
I have a problem in getting the info about the execution of a DTS Package.
I have a SQL-2000 Client installation on my Desktop to connect to SQL-2000 Server Database system to do all of my work. i had a DTS package stored in my SQL Server2000 Local Packages. Now i have to schedule the DTS Package from my Desktop. And the DTS package is processing some files from a shared network folder. when i used to run the DTS package manually from my desktop my desktop login have access to that shared folder so there is no problem to run the package.
suppose i scheduled the DTS to execute on daily basis at 10:00 AM. Now my doubt is wher the DTS will be executed after scheduling, which starts DTS execution and is it required my Desktop to be up daily at 10:00 AM, and how the network shared folder is going to be accessed by the DTS, means where to specify the authentication to the shared folder.
somebudy plz help me out.

I am running into some issue that i have found any good clue on this forum... although have seen a few threads dicussions. I have a master package which invokes a dozen of child packages.
1) If I only open master package inside IDE, I am keeping getting the following error when i run the master packages inside Visual Studio 2005 IDE.
The connection type "FLATFILE" specified for connection manager "XXXXX Flat File Destination Connection Manager" is not recognized as a valid connection manager type. This error is returned when an attempt is made to create a connection manager for an unknown connection type. Check the spelling in the connection type name
2) If I opened up all child packages inside IDE, the master package run fine most of time.
Any suggestions?
