SSIS FTP Task Variable Remote Path Invalid
Jun 17, 2006
I am working on the SSIS FTP Task that transfer file from one FTP server to local location, rename the file name, and finally transfer the renamed file to another FTP server. So I defined 2 FTP tasks.
For the FTP file receive operation, I need the remote path to be updated by a script and pass to the user define variable. So I set TRUE to IsRemotePathVariable. In the RemoteVariable, I set User::FTPSourcePath where the variable is set in the script with "/DMFTP/filename1.jpg"
For the FTP file send operation, I set TRUE to IsRemotePathVariable. In the RemoteVariable, I set User::FTPDestPath where the variable is set in the script with "/DestFTP/"
After all the setting, the FTP Task box show me the error as "Variable "FTPSourcePath" doesn't start with "/". Another FTP box show me "Variable "FTPDestPath" doesn't start with "/"
Can anyone help me on this problem?? Thanks.

Hi Chaps,
I am trying to set up a SSIS package which uses a FTP task to download some files. In the FTP task editor I have the filename setup as an RemotePath expression. If I do not put a / at the start of the file name generated I get the following error:
[FTP Task] Error: Remote path "test.csv" doesn't start with "/".
If I then place a / infront of the name then then I get an error saying the file does not exist
[FTP Task] Error: File represented by "/test.csv" does not exist.
In both cases I have the DelayValidation property set to true.
However if I log on to the ftp server manually using windows or command prompt the file exists and can be downloaded from the default folder you log into.
I would appriciate any light anyone could shed on this problem.

I'm trying to use the message queue task in SSIS 2005 and not getting very far. Right off the bat I'm trying to create a Message Queue Connection Manager and when I enter the path, trying both "seawxxxx estq" (my local computer name) or ". estq" and test it, it comes back with "invalid path". Have done quite a bit of searching around and can't find anything on this particular error.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I need to download 3 specific files from an ftp site each day. The file names DO change, so I am I going to have to use a variable to specify the file names.
My questions are:
Q. Is it possible to specify three specific files names in the "remote path" for an FTP task, using variables? If so, how?
Q. Is it possible to specify three specific names NOT using variables? If so, how? (I would like to know for future)
Or am I going to have to use 3 separate ftp tasks in either case?
Thanks much

I have created a FTP Task which is returning the value, "Error: 0x0 at FTP Task, SFTP Task: Invalid local path."
In my DB Table, the table contains a field for the location of files to be Ftp'd which is: C:/temp/ftp/OB/*
I believe my settings are correct and am curious to know if the above string should work or if I need a different syntax for the local variable.

I am getting this error, when I try to access a directory in the remote path. Though the directory exists, I get this error.
550 CWD CMD FAILED : EDC5129I NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY.
When I try to access through the remote login, I am able to see the directory as well as the files there. How to overcome this error. Is there any workaround for this.
Thanks.

I'm working on an SSIS package that uses a vb.net script to grab some XML from a webservice (I'd explain why I'm not using a web service task here, but I'd just get angry), and I wish to then assign the XML string to a package variable which then gets sent along to a DataFlow Task that contains an XML Source that points at said variable. when I copy the XML string into the variable value in the script, if do a quickwatch on the variable (as in Dts.Variable("MyXML").value) it looks as though the new value has been copied to the variable, but when I step out of that task and look at the package explorer the variable is its original value.
I think the problem is that the dataflow XML source has a lock on the variable and so the script task isn't affecting it. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem, or know a workaround?

I have a SQL Task that updates running totals on a record inserted using a Data Flow Task. The package runs without error, but the actual row does not calculate the running totals. I suspect that the inserted record is not committed until the package completes and the SQL Task is seeing the previous record as the current. Here is the code in the SQL Task:
DECLARE @DV INT;
SET @DV = (SELECT MAX(DateValue) FROM tblTG);
DECLARE @PV INT;
SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I've not been successful in passing a SSIS global variable to a declared parameter, but is it possible to do this:
DECLARE @DV INT;
SET @DV = ?;
DECLARE @PV INT;
SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I have almost 50 references to these parameters in the query so a substitution would be helpful.

Hi,
I am creating SSIS package which using Execute SQL Task to which I am supplying one .sql file code is
delete from Test where ID = @ID
I defined @ID variable to SSIS and also path where .sql file placed but i am not able to execute this package i am getting error like can not find C:@Path file......
As i got information that passing such variable to .sql you need ADO.net connection so I changed SQLSERVER Database connection string to ADO.net .... after that when i set hard core value for these variable i.e for @ID and @Path then it runs sccessfully but by setting parameter i am getting above error
Any suggestion that will be gr8 help for me

Hello everyone,
This is my first post. :-)
I've been having an error with Script Tasks in SSIS, where the error is every time I use a For Each In Dts.Variables, it always seems to crash. I'm trying to log the variables before I proceed in any other tasks. I'm passing in one value as a ReadOnlyVariables.
Here is the snippet of code:
Dts.Log(String.Format("{0} variables:", Dts.Variables.Count), 0, Nothing)
For Each v As Variable In Dts.Variables
Dts.Log(String.Format("{0} = {1}", v.Name, v.Value), 0, Nothing)
Next
It's very strange because the Dts.Variables.Count gives me the correct number of items that I have passed in, but after I step into the For Each, I get this for Dts.Variables.Item:
In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user. Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Variable
And as soon as I step into the next line, it crashes with this error:
Value does not fall within the expected range.
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Wrapper.IDTSVariables90.GetEnumerator()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Variables.GetEnumerator()
at ScriptTask_932938a13af547149ade0331cf39ecfe.ScriptMain.Main()
My colleagues have tried this snippet of code and it worked fine on their machine, only mine has this error :-(
I tried to do several searches online and they recommended me to:
Get the latest SP (I have all the updates now for .net and SQL)
Re-register some .dll's such as dts.dll/pipeline/etc
Change/toggle the PreCompileBinary
Alter the script a little and rebuild.
None of these suggestions have had any success on this error that I'm having. I was wondering if anyone had any insight or had any similar problems as me. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
-Simon

I would like to send an email in a SSIS Package.
I have an Execute SQL Task that saves the results in a variable such as, RecCounts.
I have a Send Mail Task with a message source of: [User::RecCounts]
However, when I run the package I get this error.
Error: Failed to lock variable "[User::RecCounts]" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found.
This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.".

I used the DTSmigration wizard to transfer DTS jobs from SQL2000 to SQL2005. The wizard transfered the old DTP packages without error but now I cannot access some of them. The old DTS packages had names of the form <program_name>**<output_type> for example JM-102**excell. When I try to access (or delete) the new packages in SSIS I get the error:
The path is not valid.
Parameter name: packagePath (MsDtsSrvr)
How can I delete these packages?

Hello,
I have a SSIS package that has a SQL task which gets a result set and stores it in an SSIS object variable. The package then iterates through that result set in a foreach Loop Container. In the loop container I have a script task and a Send Mail Task. The script task sets the contents of the email message (through an SSIS String variable).
In the dataset I have an EmployeeCode column. I need to select a single EmployeeCode and grab all the records associated with that code to create a single EmailMessage for that Employee that includes all their records. I've got that done, however the way I'm implementing it I then have to update the SSIS Object variable that holds the result set to remove those records I've already processed. Doing this causes an error at the next ForEach loop iteration stating it can't find a source.
Result Set from SQL Query (16 columns, 674 rows, 145 distinct Employeecodes)
Employee Code EmailAddress Other columns
1 email1 set1
1 email1 set2
2 email2 set3
2 emial2 set4
2 email2 set5
etc etc etc
The first iteration should be sent to email1 where the body includes set1 and set2, the second iteration sends to email2 where the body includes set3, set4, and set5 and so forth.
The SSIS ForEachLoop Container is looping through the entire Result Set and passing into the .NET Script task the EmployeeCode (readonly) and the entire Result Set (readwrite) and setting the value of EmailMessage. So I create the value of EmailMessage based on the EmployeeCode and then use the value of Email1 and EmailMessage in the SendMail Task. I was trying to delete the rows I processed so I don€™t process them the next time the ForEachLoop Executes (otherwise I'll get duplicate emails).
Or if there's a different way to do this, I'm open to that as well.
See below for the code I'm using (colEmployeeCode is a ReadOnlyVariable and rsRecipients and EmailMessage are ReadWriteVariables in the Script Task).
Public Sub Main()
Dim Header As String
Dim Body As String
Dim Footer As String
Header = "blah"
Footer = "blah"
Try
Dim olead As New Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim dt As New Data.DataTable
olead.Fill(dt, Dts.Variables("rsRecipients").Value)
For Each row As Data.DataRow In dt.Rows
If UCase(Trim(row("EmployeeCode").ToString())) = UCase(Trim(Dts.Variables("colEmployeeCode").Value.ToString())) Then
Body = Body + "Label: " + Trim(row("colum").ToString()) + System.Environment.NewLine
row.Delete()
End If
Next
Dts.Variables("rsRecipients").Value = dt
Dts.Variables("EmailMessage").Value = Header + Body + Footer
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
Catch ex As Exception
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Failure
End Try
End Sub
Thank you very much,
Aaron

I cannot find the data type for parameter mapping from Execute SQL Task Editor to make this works.
1. Execute SQL Task 1 - select max(columnA) from tableA. ColumnA is varbinary(8); set result to variable which data type is Object.
2. Execute SQL Task 2 - update tableB set columnB = ?
What data type should I use to map the parameter? I tried different data types, none working except GUI but it returned wrong result.
Does SSIS variable support varbinary data type? I know there's a bug issue with bigint data type and there's a work-around. Is it same situation with varbinary?
Thanks,
-Ash

Hi
Hopefully someone can help me.
I'm trying to restore my DB to a new server and also a new instance of SQL 2005 SP2+ hotfix KB934458.
I've successfully restored my MSDB database and everything seems to be working fine, but now when I'm trying to do a restore of my Database RMc to the attached SAN,
I'm getting the error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The path 'H:' has invalid attributes. It needs to be a directory. It must not be hidden, read-only, or on a removable drive. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
the H: is the Drive letter for my attached SAN.
The path I'm trying to give is H:\DBData for the MDF-file and the H:DBLog for the LDF-file.
I have the DB running on another server also with a SAN attached and there are no problems.
I also moved the MSDB to another drive on the SAN - a G-drive without any problems.
Is there someone who have a good idea?

Hello,
I am having a hard time setting the executable path for an Execute Process Task in SSIS. I have a variable that is initialized at package statup which holds the path to an executable in Windows. When I set the property "Executable" Path in an expression, I get a warning that the path for the executable is not set. One workaround was to try and initialize the variable with a bogus path with the hopes that the "correct" value will be written on run-time. NO LUCK. I still get the error and I cannot run the package until I put a static path.
Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on??

But when I bind the result to a variable and excute task. It gives out error message: "An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "MaxAuditLogID": "Result binding by name "MaxID" is not supported for this connection type. "
I tried to change the type of variable around but with no luck.

Hello. I am attempting to add a distribution database to an instance of SQL Server on my local PC. I am using SQL 2005 Developer Edition. I am able to set the instance up as a distributor using the following command:
exec sp_adddistributor @distributor = N'computernameinstancename'
I use the following command to create the distribution database:
exec sp_adddistributiondb @database = N'distribution', @data_folder = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLData',
@data_file_size = 4, @log_folder = N'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLData',
I get the following error when executing that command:
Msg 14430, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_adddistributiondb, Line 214
Invalid destination path C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2MSSQLData.
It's not due to permissions on that particular folder. I have tried using other folders, all with the same results. Also, I am an Administrator on the PC, so I have full permissions. I have tried running the SQL Server services as myself and Local System. Same results both times. Co-workers with apparently the same setup are able to create the distribution database without a problem.
Has anybody had this type of problem?
Thanks,
Evan

In a Data Flow, I have the necessity to use a SSIS variable of type €œObject€? inside Script Component and assign to it the content of 'n' variables of string type.
On exiting from the script the variable of type object should contain something like in the following lines:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦.
On exiting from the data flow I will use the variable of type Object in a Script Task, by reading each element in a cyclic fashion.
Is there anyone who have experienced something like this? Could anyone provide any example of that?
Thanks in advance!

All of the books I have about Visual Basic 2005 Database Programming, gives examples of connecting to a database on a localhost computer. But what about the connection to a database on a sql server 2005 on a computer wich can only be reached via the internet ? Is that possible without using ASP.NET ?
My problem:
I have a desktop with a sqlserver 2005 database . This desktop is connected with the internet . The IP address is a dynamic IP address.
On my laptop is a ADO.NET 2.0 program that needs to be connected with the database on my desktop.
What kind of address do I have to specify in my connectionstring in order to get connected to the database on my desktop , which can only be reached via the internet ?
I'm I wright to suppose that in the case of a static IP address, all I have to do is put the IP address in the connectionstring in order to get connected with my desktop via the internet? Are there some changings to be made in the settings of the SQL SERVER 2005 on my desktop ? What about the security ?
On the other hand , because the address of my desktop is a dynamic IP address, how do I solve this problem.?
I've heard about a program DynDns that can solve the problem of the dynamic address. Can i use this program together with my ADO.NET program to solve the problem , and how do I specify in this case the address to the database on my desktop in the connectionstring?
Is there someone who has experience with that program and the problem I described here ?
Thanks for the help !!!

Note: this applies to SQL 2012 only. I'm using the project deployment model in SQL SSIS 2012
I have a script task inside the SSIS package that renames some files on a domain share. (mydomainmyfileshare)
The database owner is a domain user (mydomainsvclogin)
I start the package from a stored procedure like so:
EXEC [SSISDB].[catalog].[start_execution] @execution_id
When the package is deployed to my local machine, it executes without error.
When it is deployed to a remote server on the same domain (2012), I get an error:
Access to the path mydomainmyfileshare is denied.
The report log show that the caller is mydomainsvclogin. I added some informational logging of my own and I see that the variable System::UserName is also mydomainsvclogin
I logged on to windows as mydomainsvclogin and verified that I can modify/delete/change files on mydomainmyfileshare
On older packages, I used credentials and proxy accounts to set up access to domain resources.
How do you specify the account (a domain account) that will access domain resources in an SSIS 2012 package ?

I am attempting to sort the results of a query executed against a table variable in descending order. The data is being inserted into the table variable as expected, however when I attempt to order the results in descending order, the results are incorrect. I have included the code as well as the result set.
DECLARE @tblCustomRange AS TABLE
(
RecordID INTEGER IDENTITY(1,1),
RangeMonth INTEGER,
RangeDay INTEGER
)
DECLARE @Month INTEGER
DECLARE @Day INTEGER
-- Initialize month and day variables.
SET @Month = 8
SET @Day = 11
-- Insert records into the table variable.
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (1,2)
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (1,27)
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (6,10)
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (9,22)
INSERT INTO @tblCustomRange
(RangeMonth, RangeDay) VALUES (12,16)
-- Select everything from the table variable ordering the results by month, day in
-- descending order
SELECT * FROM @tblCustomRange
WHERE (RangeMonth < @Month) OR
(RangeMonth = @Month AND RangeDay <= @Day)
ORDER BY RangeMonth, RangeDay DESC
I am getting the following resultset:
RecordID RangeMonth RangeDay

2 1 27
1 1 2
3 6 10
I am expecting the following resultset:
RecordID RangeMonth RangeDay

Hi,
I have an Execute SQL Task (OLE DB Connnection Manager) with a SQL script in it. In this script I use several SQL variables (@my_variable). I would like to assign an IS variable ([User::My_Variable]) to one of my SQL variables on this script. Example:
DECLARE @my_variable int
, <several_others>
SET @my_variable = ?
<do_some_stuff>
Of course, I also set up the parameter mapping.
However, it seems this is not possible. Assigning a variable using a ? only seems to work in simple T-SQL statements.
I have several reasons for wanting to do this:
- the script uses several variables, several times. Not all SQL variables are assigned via IS variables.
- For reading and mainenance purposes, I prefer to pass the variable only once. Otherwise every time the script changes u need to keep track of all questionmarks and their order.
- Passing the variable once also makes it easier to design the script outside IS using Management Studio.
- This script only does preparation for the actual ETL, so I prefer to keep it in one task instead of taking it apart to several consecutive Execute SQL Tasks.
- I prefer to use the OLE DB connection manager because it's a de facto standard here.
Could anyone help me out with the following questions:
- Is the above possible?
- If so, how?
- If not, why not?
- If not, what would be the best way around this problem?
Thanx in advance,
Pipo

I am getting an invalid cast specification when I call dtexec and try to /SET a user variable within the package that is defined as a string data type. Is there any solution to this? I have tried passing the GUID with {} w/o {} w/ '' w/ "" etc.. many variations... and still get an invalid cast specification. Is there a data type that I need to set the User variable to besides String? The User Variable is used to Select records from a SQL data source where the GUID is stored. I do not have an option of GUID data type for a User Variable.
Thanks for any help! Aaron B.
