SSIS Newbie Question - Get Strings From Text File Into A Variable
Aug 23, 2007
HI All. I'm trying to tweak the Transfer Logins task to exclude Windows Logins that are local to the Server (e.g. servernameusername) which obviously can't be transferred off the server. Annoying that we have a couple of local Logins on this system instead of all Domain Groups, but we're stuck with them due to firewall issues, and a policy excluding SQL Logins.
My idea is to create a text file as part of my Package that lists Logins to be Excluded From the Transfer - I think I then need to create a New File Connection to the Text File as a Connection Manager, then somehow get that data into a Variable, and then use an Expression to populate the 'LoginsList' Collection from syslogins where loginame not equal to logins in my textfilevariable?
Or maybe I'm over complicating this, and there's an easier solution? Lots of info in Books Online about Expressions and Variables, but having trouble finding examples that I can use. As a DBA, this is my first foray into SSIS, and as you can possibly tell, I'm floundering....

I am downloading a webpage as a text file in order to read a specific string to assign it as a variable/parameter in order to create an output file name. I would like to know how would I be able to look for a specific string and output as another variable for the rest of the package.
2015 Conforming Loan Limits
------------------------------------------------------------------------
o _Loan Limits for Calendar Year 2015--All Counties _[XLS]
</DataTools/Downloads/Documents/Conforming-Loan-Limits/FullCountyLoanLimitList2015_HERA-BASED_FINAL_FLAT.xlsx>_ ,
_[PDF]
</DataTools/Downloads/Documents/Conforming-Loan-Limits/FullCountyLoanLimitList2015_HERA-BASED_FINAL.pdf>_
o _List of 46 Counties with Increases in Loan Limits for 2015
[Code] ...
To explain it a more better way, I have a sample webpage text here. I should be searching for "FullCountyLoanLimitList" appended by the current year (like FullCountyLoanLimitList2015) and copy the entire file name in the text file and assign it to another variable so that I can download that specific file using WebClient connection.

But I keep on getting this error message:

Cannot use the OUTPUT option when passing a constant to a stored procedure.
I am completely lost!! :confused:

There are two options to specify the subpackage location (SQL Server or file location). I'd like to know how I can specify a variable name that points to the file location so I avoid hard coding the file location which could change during production installation.

I have a whole bunch of bit fields in an SQL data base, which makes it a little messy to report on.
I thought a nice idea would be to assigne a text string/null value to each bit field and concatenate all of them into a result.
This is the basic logic goes soemthing like this:
select case new_accountant = 1 then 'acct/' end +
case new_advisor = 1 then 'adv/' end +
case new_attorney = 1 then 'atty/' end as String
from new_database
The output would be
Null, acct/, adv/, atty, acct/adv/, acct/atty/... acct/adv/atty/
So far, nothing I have tried has worked.
Any ideas?

Hi: Got a newbie question that's been giving me fits! Basically I'm replicating what's going on here on this board...creating a "posting" interface that takes the "message" and inserts it into a table using an ADODB connection (using INSERT INTO table name,tablecells and VALUES)
However, if someone types in a single or double quote in the body of the message, I get an error similar to this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 's'.
/test.asp, line 29
I think I understand why it's happening (SQL is interpreting the quote mark as a string-end), but what am I supposed to do to get around it?

Hello Experts,
I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle).
PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not..
What should go here ?
->Under Class A
public override DTSExecResult Execute(Connections connections, VariableDispenser variableDispenser, IDTSComponentEvents componentEvents, IDTSLogging log, object transaction)
{
//Some code to read file and write it into new file
return DTSExecResult.Success;
}
public const string Property_Task = "CustomErrorControl";
public const string Property_SourceConnection = "SourceConnection";
public void LoadFromXML(XmlElement node, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
if (node.Name != Property_Task)
{
throw new Exception(String.Format("Invalid task element '{0}' in LoadFromXML.", node.Name));
}
else
{
try
{
_sourceConnectionId = node.Attributes.GetNamedItem(Property_SourceConnection).Value;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "LoadFromXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
}
public void SaveToXML(XmlDocument doc, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
try
{
// // Create Task Element
XmlElement taskElement = doc.CreateElement("", Property_Task, "");
doc.AppendChild(taskElement);
// // Save source FileConnection
XmlAttribute sourcefileAttribute = doc.CreateAttribute(Property_SourceConnection);
sourcefileAttribute.Value = _sourceConnectionId;
taskElement.Attributes.Append(sourcefileAttribute);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "SaveXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
In UI Class there is OK Click event.
private void btnOK_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
_taskHost.Properties[CustomErrorControl.Property_SourceConnection].SetValue(_taskHost, propertyGrid1.Text);
btnOK.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
#endregion

Hi,
Here is my problem :
I work on a SSIS package with SQL SERVER 2005
I need to extract data from a table and put these data in csv files
But... the flat files name should be dynamic and assigned by a variable ...
Here's an example of my table :
Column header :
Id, Name, Number
1 TOM 22
2 TOTO 44
3 SAM 44
4 RADIO 55
I expect to have 3 csv files :
USER_22.csv
USER_44.csv
USER_55.csv
for example : USER_44.csv contains :
2;TOTO;44
3;SAM;44
if there's 50 different number, i expect 50 files
can i do that in a dataflow ?
thanks for answering

Hi,
I'm attempting to import a UTF-16 BE (Big Endian) encoded text file via SSIS. The column delimiter is comma, and the row delimiter is a {LF}.
When I select the file in the "Flat file connection manager editor", the Unicode checkbox is automatically checked, the Format option is "Delimited"; I change the header row delimiter to {LF}, and check the box 'column names in first data row.
I then click on the "Columns" tab, change the row delimter to {LF}, and hit refresh, however the error comes up that the delimiter could not be found in the file.
The file does contain the UTF-16 BE Byte Order Mark.
If I convert the file to UTF-16 LE (Little Endian), the file is read successfully, with {LF} being detected as the row delimiter.
Two questions:
- Does SSIS support import of text files that are UTF-16 BE encoded?
- If yes, how can I get this to work.
I found an error message in the Books Online, when I searched for Endian
"HResults.DTS_E_UTF16BIGENDIANFORMATNOTSUPPORTED Field - The file format of UTF-16 big endian is not supported. Only UTF-16 little endian format is supported."
Namespace: Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Assembly: Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS (in microsoft.sqlserver.manageddts.dll)
However, I'm not sure as to what the above error applies to.
Thanks,
RS

Hi,
A short description of my prob :
I am looping through a set of files and on each loop i process the file and move it to another folder. I am using File System task to do so and variables with destination path and name. It works fine.
Requirement :
However now I want that after processing the file, instead of moving it, I create an empty text file at the destination containing the file name. I want to do this with minimum effort. Can anyone suggest me the way.
thanks.

I am using vs 2010 and I have an .xls file that I am trying to import into SQL Server 2012, and I have most of it figured out, but I have a date field that is giving me problems, and what I would like to do is put that date in a variable so I can add it to every record in my SQL Table.
I am using a SQL Task Editor with an excel connection and I have no problem getting other data from the excel document and putting into my variable, its just the date that I have problems.

I have a variable defined as "Country". Based on the value, the header row printed needs to be different.
I've already created a 'HeaderRow' variable that I'm able to set using a script task. But how can you set the Header text value at run time from the variable? There is no expression defined for the Header with the Flat File Destination object, and when I attempt to reference the HeaderRow variable as the Header text, the variable name is printed as the header.
Another approach I tried was to write the Header Row separately through another data flow task, but the issue here is: what is the input source when all you have is a Country variable?

Here's a problem description I read on another post but I have the same issue:
I am trying to Import Data from a csv file into a SQL Sever table. The Data being imported has a Unique Identifier in it but it is being considered as DT_WSTR datatype in SSIS
When i directly try to import, it gives an error:
The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
I Tried to use Data Conversion to convert it to DT_GUID and import into SQL Server table but it again throws the above error.
Anyone has a clue?
Thanks!

I've been working on an issue in an SSIS package and getting strange results using a package variable named "UnprocessedFileCount". I'm looping through files in a directory (using a Foreach Loop Container) to process data into the database, and after a certain amount of time, I stop processing the files and short circuit the loop to finish the package faster. I was tasked with counting the number of files that weren't processed and it seemed easy enough to count how many times the loop "short circuited" by incrementing a variable in a script task. I then wanted to send out an email and include the incremented variable in the body of the message.
I ran into issues when I used the variable name "UnprocessedFileCount". The variable was incrementing within the loop as expected. However, it was always resetting back to "0" after the ForEach file Loop Container completed.
After some heavy searching on the subject, to no avail, I eventually found that changing the variable name did not reset the variable.
I'm still using SQL Server 2008.

I have a SSIS package that opens an xml file, puts the contents into a string, then runs a stored procedure that dumps it into an xml column in a table. One of the xml files is huge. Putting the data into a ssis string causes an error. The length of the string variable is 58,231,886. The file will only get bigger.
How else can I get this data into a SQL Server XML field.

I have created a kind of search function in my Excel sheet where the user can select multiple items from different listboxes.
To save the items I use an array. So in one case only 1 items off the array is filled, but another time maybe 3 items are filled in the array.
I use the array to search in a SQL database (this is string rva(i) in the code). But when the array is empty it results in an error.
This is what I have so far. (the rule at the bottom won't work also )
rc.Open "SELECT [Datum],[RvA_Nr], [RvA_Letter], [Afdeling], [EVAL], [Matrix], [Component], [AS3000], [AP04], [Rec] FROM dbo.QHSE_2ndline_history " _
& "WHERE [Afdeling] = '" & afd & "' AND [Datum] >= '" & datum1 & "' AND [Datum] <= '" & datum2 & "' AND " _
& "CASE WHEN '" & rva(1) & "' <> '' then [RvA_Nr] = '" & rva(1) & "' END AND" _
& "([Matrix] LIKE '%" & matrix(1) & "%' OR [Matrix] LIKE '%" & matrix(2) & "%' OR [Matrix] LIKE '%" & matrix(3) & "%' OR

I have a text file I am trying to import into SQL Server using OLEDB connection.
It's a fixed field text file, ragged right format. One of my columns maps to a numeric column in the DB. In some spots in the file, it is blank, in others there is actual numeric data.
I can't get it to import. If I set the text file column to numeric, I get an error "That value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data." If I set the text file column to string, I get a similar error from the OLE DB provider, "Invalid character value for cast specification"
I have tried telling it to retain nulls in the data flow and the other way as well. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Any thoughts??? I am starting to hate excel more and more.

Good Afternoon,
So this one has been bugging me for a while and I am ready to punt...
Is it possible to dynamically create a text file destination in SSIS and then pump the results of a query stored in a variable to this text file?
So my package looks like this
1) SQL task that pulls back a list of tables to be exported
2) For Each Loop ADO enum that passes the table name to a SQL Task that builds the select...ie select * from <DTS.Variables()>
3) Data flow task that sets the command from variable from step 2
4) Text File destinaiton that is built using a varable as the connectionstring
I am delaying validation in steps3 and 4 above without any luck...basically I am curious if i can even do what I am thinking I should be able to do here...I get as far as getting metadata errors because SSIS can't seem to handle dynamically filling the pipeline with the columns from the variable/SQL statement.
Am I missing something? Is this possible?!
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Hi All,
i am using a OLE DB Source in my dataflow component and want to select rows from the source based on the Name I enter during execution time. I have created two variables,
enterName - String packageLevel (will store the name I enter)
myVar - String packageLevel. (to store the query)
I am assigning this query to the myVar variable, "Select * from db.Users where (UsrName = " + @[User::enterName] + " )"
Now in the OLE Db source, I have selected as Sql Command from Variable, and I am getting the variable, enterName,. I select that and when I click on OK am getting this error.
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E0C.
