SSIS Script Task To Check For File Existance
Jul 3, 2006
Hi all,
Let me apologize in advance for what I know is a very basic question,
but so far I'm not being terribly successful trying to find sample code
to learn from.
I'm trying to write (my first!) .Net Script in SSIS to check for the
existance of a file (since that seems to be the only way to do it).
I've created the Script Task, with the following settings:
PrecomplieScriptIntoBinaryCode = False (it complained at one point in time (possibly on validation))
EntryPoint = ScriptMain
ReadOnly Variables = ProductBuyListFileLocation, ProductBuyListFileName
ReadWrite Variable = FileFound
Now the ReadOnly variables have the 2 components necessary for a file location, i.e.:
ProductBuyListFileLocation = 'D:TestingProductInformationEnhancements'
ProductBuyListFileName = 'buyList.xls'
So, I'm now trying to check the existance with the following .Net Script code:
-------code--------
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Public Class ScriptMain
' The execution engine calls this method when the task executes.
' To access the object model, use the Dts object. Connections, variables, events,
' and logging features are available as static members of the Dts class.
' Before returning from this method, set the value of Dts.TaskResult to indicate success or failure.
'
' To open Code and Text Editor Help, press F1.
' To open Object Browser, press Ctrl+Alt+J.
Public Sub Main()
'
' Add your code here
'
Dim FileLocation As String
Dim DTSVariables As Variables
If
System.IO.File.Exists((CStr(DTSVariables("ProductBuyListFileLocation").Value)
+ (CStr(DTSVariables("ProductBuyListFileLocation").Value)))) Then
DTSVariables("FileFound").Value = 1
Else
DTSVariables("FileFound").Value = 0
End If
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
End Class
-------code--------
if fails with this message, which I'm not finding too helpful:
at
ScriptTask_6c9d28f1bd3045739c4237bd588e3835.ScriptMain.Main() in
dts://Scripts/ScriptTask_6c9d28f1bd3045739c4237bd588e3835/ScriptMain:line
28
Is it complaining about not being able to find/address my ReadOnly variable? If so, what am I doing wrong?
TIA

Within the execution of a t-sql script how do I check for the existance of a temporary table associated with the session or a global temporary table?
My understanding is that the table name doesn't get placed in the current database sysobjects table - it goes into tempdb. But the object name is cryptic (so as to be unique) and I see no way of associating it with the current session (@@SPID).
Thanks,
Fred

Hello all,
I am trying to add columns to several tables in a singular database. I want to check to see if the column exists in a given table first before executing the alter table command so that I can skip that command if the column already exists, and avoid aborting my script prematurely. I can't seem to find a way to check for the column's existance. Any suggestions?

How do you determine in a (SQL table or view) calcualted field (yes/no) if a file exists.
Specifically, I have a view with a field (column) that calculates a filename (path plus file name from another field, plus extension. I want to determine if that calculated file name represents an existing file.
Also, if you could consider replying to this as well: How to determine file existance in ASP, when the file is not on the same server as the internet service (which is easy), but resides on another server, or when a URL is given for the file location.
Thank you,

Hi All,
I have built a package that firstly shrinks a database and then backs it up which is scheduled to run each day, but I would like to add a check (Check Database Integrity) in as the first task and if the Database checks out ok then continue on, if not send an email.
Now, I am unsure if the Check Database Integrity Task in SSIS actually returns the success or failure message back to the package that I am after. The SQL behind the task includes the NO_INFOMSGS option.
Can anyone advise if it is possible to have the status/integrity of the database returned to the SSIS task and to proceed based on the result?
Regards

Hi,
I need to check if a file exists (using a filename pattern as the filename will be dynamic) in a directory.
I am trying to use the File.Exists() method in a Script Task. However, it does not allow me to do something like -
File.Exists("C:Files*.xls")
Or
File.Exists("C:Filesabc*.xls")
Any help on this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

I need to create a script task in sql server 2008 R2 to check if a file exists in a directory. For example, to see if output.dat exist under c:results. If the file exists, then send out an email stating the file exists, if not then send out another email stating the file does not exists.I noticed there is a huge difference between the script task in sql 2005 and sql 2008 r2.

A common issue that I run across with clients is they want only want to process a file if it's finished transmitting to the server. This SQL Server 2005 task reads the properties of a file and writes the values to a series of variables. For example, you can use this task to determine if the file is in use (still be uploaded or written to) and then conditionally run the Data Flow task to load the file if it's not being used. You can also use it to determine when the file was created in order to determine if it must be archived.

I have a data flow task inside a foreach loop container which will take multiple excel files and load into a sql table. Once all the excel files are loaded into the table, then at the end one of the column gets updated using execute sql task. Now I am trying to check for a file existence, if the file is not present in the folder then the data flow task should not be executed. Any help is greatly appreciated, I am thinking of using file system task for this, but not exactly sure. Thanks in advance.

Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.

I'm having an issue with a file system task & I'm not sure whether it is user error on my part or a bug. I'm using a SQL Task to create a transaction log backup & I'm saving the name of the file in a result set which I then am mapping to a package level user variable. After that runs I'm trying to copy this .BAK file to another folder using the file system task. I'm setting the following properties on the file system task.
Isdestinationpathvariable: False
Then I have entered the static directory for the file move.
Operation: Tried it with both copy file & move file.
Issourcepathvariable: True
Sourceconnection: User::File_name
After setting this I immediately get a validation warning telling me the source directory cannot be empty. If I try to run it, it fails. The weird thing is that if I set up a connection manager to a flat file & pass my user variable in as the connection string to this connection. Then set the Issourcepathvariable to false & the Sourceconnection to this connection manager it works.
I also have gotten it to work by substituting an ftp task in place of the file system task. The ftp task has no problem when I set the Islocalpathvariable to true & then pass my variable to Localvariable property. This is why I believe there is some sort of issue with the file system task. Has anyone seen this before? Is there some sort of problem with the way I'm setting it up?
Thank you

Wanting to use File System Task in SSIS to move files from
one location to another for archiving. I can't seem to figure out how to use a
wild card for the file name. It seems that I must specify the actual file name
which is a problem because only the first 4 letters in the file name remain a
constant.
Does anyone know how to use a wild card or a way to work
this in?

I have just loaded SQL Server 2005 SP1 and it is playing havoc with any SSIS packages that use the File System Task.
I am using the FST to copy a file to a directory after it has been loaded. This worked fine prior to SQ1 but now I am getting the following error if there are one or more files already in the target directory:
[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The directory is not empty. ".
If I remove all files from the directory it works fine.
Has anyone come across this problem and got a workaround for this? Will it involve me writing a FSO script task???
Is this 'feature' going to be rectified in SP2?

Hi All,
I have a problem in which I want the run an SSIS based on a file being dropped in a directory. I've tried the WMI event watcher as well as the File Task Watcher component. The problem that I'm seeing is that if the process is currently processing in the pipeline while another file dropped, the newly dropped file doesn't get picked up. Is there a way to create a FileWatcher Task in SSIS which will spawn a SSIS job and return immediately for watching files?

I'm trying to call WinSCP in a SSIS Execute Process Task using a .bat file to automate. SSIS is returning a generic failure error message ("Error: 0xC0029151 at Execute Process Task, Execute Process Task: In Executing "MyServerC$Program Files (x86)WinSCPWinSCP.exe" "-script=MyNASShareWinSCPFTP.bat " at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0"."). So now I'm trying to run the .bat file by itself. Unfortunately, the command prompt rushes by so fast that I can't see what the server is doing.
I can't find anything on the WinSCP site that indicates how to slow down the .bat file processing or log the remote server responses. I do see how to use the /log switch when using the interactive command line console, but that's not what I want to do.

Hi,
I am using SQL Server2005 for SSIS. I want to change the source connection dynamicaly evertime.
Let me clear, I have to extract some column from excel to MS-Access. I am using Data Flow Task and able to successfully complete the job. But problem is that, whenever a new file comes , i must have to reconfigure my Excel Source.
All the time column in file are same, so no need to worry about mapping but how can my package select a file automatically.
I have a directory, suppose "C:dpak". I should able to pick the filename and sheet name from this directory every time when my package will execute.

I have an SSIS package that inserts website URLs from a SQLServer table into a variable used by an HTTP Connection Manager, then downloads the data files from those URLs using a ForEach Loop and a Script Task. Works beautifully when a data file is found at the URL, but hangs if no data file is found. I've set the Timeout property on the HTTP Connection Manager to 30 seconds, but doesn't work. how to first check if a data file exists, of if the request returns nothing, or how to trap this situation in a try-catch?
Here is the VB code I'm using in the Script Task:
Public Sub Main()

' Create a new HTTP client connection
Dim connection As New HttpClientConnection(nativeObject)
