Hye all,
I need help on this.
Let say my source file in excel format. Currently i'm using foreach loop to execute those source files. The problem is that , i want to retrieve a date from the source(filename) itself. i've tried using derived column. but it doesnt work.
eg: Source file name Email_Jan_05.xls, i want to grab the string JAN and 05 which later i'm going to put it in my database.
any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I need to read all the text files present in one particular folder and have to place all the contents in the file into a table. I will be knowing the location of the file but i will not be knowing the name of the file. I am using a BULK INSERT command to place all the contents to a table.
Eg: BULK INSERT TEST FROM '\BSSC018C$IP Office LogsLog 20071206 000000 (5).txt'
To use BULK INSERT i have to specify the location of the file with the filename. So can anyone please help me to know how the names of the file can be fetched through SQL query. If i am able to get all the file names i can use a cursor and insert all the datas from all the text files.
Thank you.
I am running the following sqllitespeed backup script on Windows 2003 Server
against SQL Server 2000
sqllitespeed -Bdatabase -T -DNorthwind -FH:MicrosoftSQLServerBACKUPSDATABACKUPSNorthWi ndorthwind.bak
How could I place the date variable into the output filename?
I've tried variations of %date% etc but nada.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Here's what I want:
I have a DTSX package run as a SQL Server agent job, that each time it runs I want it to create a new log file with the date & time in the filename.
e.g. MyJobLog.20080311_103613.txt
I have implemented this using the SSIS log provider for Text Files, and defining the Connection String as an expression as follows:-
Code Snippet"MyJobLog." + (DT_STR,4,1252)YEAR( DATEADD( "dd", -1, getdate() )) +RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) MONTH( GETDATE() ), 2) +RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) DAY( GETDATE() ), 2)+ "_" +RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) datepart("hh", GETDATE() ) , 2)+RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) datepart("mi", GETDATE() ) , 2)+RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR, 2, 1252) datepart("ss", GETDATE() ) , 2)+".txt"
Here's the problem:-
When the job runs, each time it tries to write to the log file it re-evaluates the filename, and as the seconds pass by the name changes! So instead of one file I end up with several:-
e.g.
MyJobLog.20080311_103613.txt
MyJobLog.20080311_103614.txt
MyJobLog.20080311_103615.txt
So the one execution of the job is now divided across three files! This is not what want!
Here's one way I fixed it:-
One of my Jobs is run from an MS-DOS batch file, so I was able to pass the constructed date/time sting into the DTSX file as a parameter. This works perfectly.
Here's my problem:-
Three more of my jobs are run as scheduled job from SQL Server Agent, so I can't pass in the date/time as a parameter each time (unless you know otherwise). And the clients' security policy won't allow the job to call an MS-DOS batch file which runs the DTSX package.
Or is there really some other way to stop the Log filename from re-evaluating on every write?
My company sends reports on a daily basis to our customers. Now I want to save all the sent reports on disc with the date in the filename. I have set up a subscription which daily saves the files where I want them. However, I haven't found a way to add the date easily. I already have a parameter when creating the report, it is called Date. Does anybody know if I can use a parameter or something else?
Thank's
I am very new to SSIS. Â I need a package to iterate through files in folders and subfolders, evaluate the date of the file and delete them if they are over 90 days. I am using the following as a guide. Â The reason I am not using a maintenance plan for this is that I did not see a way to use a built in maintenance plan task to copy files. Â I already built a package that copies files to the destination. Â Now I need to delete files in the destination that are over 90 days old. Â
[URL] ...
I have a File System Task to delete files. I have a Script Task with a precedence constraint where I need to build an expression on the constraint between the Script Task and the File System Task for the delete. Â
I have database backups in the format of SQLInstanceName_DatabaseName_BackupType_YYYYMMDD_XXXXXXX.bak. Â
I created a variable to store the filename and I need an expression that will convert a file name like :
MySQLInstance_MyDB_DIFF_20150803_1700000.bak into 20150803, compare it to getdate -90 days. Â
I created another variable for the Max File Age. Â I built the below but when I click on Evaluate Expression I get an error stating, "The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element."Â
DATEDIFF("dd",(DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING(RIGHT( @[User::strFileName], 20 ),1,8), GETDATE()) > Â @[User::intFileMaxAge]
Hi there,
I have been using reporting service to generate my report and sending email with attachment report via subscription everyday. It is work well and no error.
My attachment file name is as same as reportname project. But customers asked me to add current date into an attachment filename which will help them to identify the report. I try to check in rsreportserver.config to change it but have no idea.
My reportname project is daily_file.rdl and my attachment filename in email is daily_file.csv. I'd like to change my attachment filename as day_month_year_file.csv.
Is there anyone know how to change an attachment filename to be not the same as reportname in reporting service 2005
Regards,
Doesn't appear you can do this.
Am I wrong?
Please tell me I am.
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

I am trying to create a DTS Package which will run a SQL query and export the results to an Excel file. I would like to the name of the excel to be "dynamic". What I would like is for the name to be ChronicDownSiteReport - mmddyy.xls. The mmddyy is the date which the package is executed.
How can I do this?
Also, I want this package to be excuted at 1am every Sunday Morning. I have attempted to schedule this to run, but when I come to work on Monday, the excel file is not present and the email, which is sent telling me that the file was created is not in my mailbox.
I Apologize if this isn't the forum to ask this...
I have a MS Access (MDB) file with a table with 2 date fields, i want to read from a dialog on my app (on MS Visual .NET Studio 2005), here's the code I've been using do far:
Code Snippet
hr=theApp.m_cs.Open(theApp.m_ds);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr)) {
theApp.m_cs.StartTransaction();
theApp.m_cs.Commit();
CCommand< CDynamicAccessor > cmd;
CComBSTR query(_T("SELECT NumContrato, NumClie, FechaC, FechaCob, Inversion, NoCobrador, NoVendedor, Total, Plazo, Pagos FROM Contrato"));
CString string(query.m_str);
cmd.Open(theApp.m_cs,string);
hr = cmd.MoveFirst();
query=static_cast< BSTR >(cmd.GetValue(1));
CString csres(query.m_str);
this->m_numc=(int)*(query.m_str);
query=static_cast< BSTR >(cmd.GetValue(2));
m_numcte=(int)*(query.m_str);
query=static_cast< BSTR >(cmd.GetValue(3));
//m_fecc=(int)*(query.m_str);
MessageBox(csres);
theApp.m_cs.Close();
}
FechaC, FechaCob, are the two Dates I want to retrieve, but when I debug, it reads a 0 (zero) from the date fields, is there a limitation? can they be read? is there a special way to read them?

Hi
I would like to return data for working days only. This will need to exclude holidays.For eg In the Month of August we have 31 Days and every 1st day of 1st week is holiday.So my output should retrieve me 31-4=27 .
Any ideas?

Below is the query in which i want to retrieve another column (exchange rate) from a particular date for the sub query.Â
Actually PurchaseOrderDet table get records related to purchaseorder but for each row in purchaseorderdet need info from the same table for all rows on a particular date.
how i can achieve this query without using RANK() and other functions.
"SELECT  Supplier.Uniid AS SupplierID, Supplier.Name, PurchaseOrder.Uniid AS PurchaseID, PurchaseOrder.OrderNo, PurchaseOrder.FormDate, StockItem.Uniid AS StockID, StockItem.StockCode + N' - ' + StockItem.Description1 AS StockItem,
PurchaseOrderDet.ExchangeRate, PurchaseOrderDet.UnitPrice, PurchaseOrderDet.Discount, SUM(PurchaseOrderDet.OrderQty) AS SumOfOrderQty,
[Code] ....
In Master tabel i have these date datas
2015-05-10
2015-05-11
2015-05-12
SO when i try to load from  Master table to parent and child table i am using using expresssion likeÂ
select B.ID,A.* FROM FLATFILE_INVENTORY AS A JOIN DMS_INVENTORY AS B ONÂ
A.ACDealerID=B.DMSDEALERID AND A.StockNumber=B.STOCKNUMBER ANDÂ
A.InventoryDate=B.INVENTORYDATE AND A.VehicleVIN=B.VEHICLEVIN
WHERE convert(date,A.[FtpDate]) = convert(date,GETDATE()) Â and convert(date,B.Ftpdate) = convert(date,getdate()) ;
If i use this Expression i am getting the current system date data's only  from Master table to parent and child tables.
My Problem is If i do this in my local sserver using the above Expression if i loaded today date and if need to load yesterday date i can change my system date to yesterday date and i can run this Expression.so that yeserday date data alone will get loaded from Master to parent and  child tables.
If i run this expression to remote server  i cannot change the system date in server.
while using this Expression for current date its loads perfectly but when i try to load yesterday data it takes current date date only not the yesterday date data.
What is the Expression on which ever  date i am trying load in  the master table  same date need to loaded in Parent and child table without changing the system Date.
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,
Trudye

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
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,
I am writing data from a file in to a table and i have a field in that table for filename. How to read the file name to write in that table.
Thanks in advance.
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
Using SSIS foreach loop I get the files names inside a folder on the network.
How do I pass this variable i.e. file name to a stored procedure?
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
End Sub
End Class
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?
Thanks
Hello,
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.
