Hi,
I have implemented a WMI Event Watcher in my SSIS package which polls a directory at 5 second intervals for the presence of files.
I have noticed that at times this file watcher service doesn't seem to function. Yet if I stop and start the package it usually works again.
Everything is running locally, including the polled folder.
Has anyone experienced similiar issues, or may know the cause/fix of this problem?
Thanks.
I have been testing with the WMI Event Watcher Task, so that I can identify a change to a file.
The WQL is thus:
SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent within 30
WHERE targetinstance isa 'CIM_DataFile'
AND targetinstance.name = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\AdventureWorks.bak'
This polls every 30 secs and in the SSIS Event (ActionAtEvent in the WMI Task is set to fire the SSIS Event) I have a simple script task that runs a message box).
My understanding is that the event polls every 30 s and if there is a change on the AdventureWorks.bak file then the event is triggered and the script task will run producing the message.
However, when I run the package the message is occurring every 30s, meaning the event is continually firing even though there has been NO change to the AdventureWorks.bak file.
Am I correct in my understanding of how this should work and if so why is the event firing when it should not ?
hello
i would like to know how i can retrieve the file path+name of a file detected by the WMI Event Watcher task, so that I can assign this to a variable for an Import task
thanks
I want to watch a directory 24 hours a day to launch SSIS packages as files arrive. There are several options I have found to accomplish this:
Use the WMI Event Watcher task in SSIS to launch the packages as files arrive. Leave the package with the WMI Event Watcher task running all day long everyday
Create a Windows service that uses WMI to detect file arrival and launch packages
Schedule SQL Server Agent to run the package when a WMI event is raised
What is the best practice? Are there better approaches that I have not listed?
Hi,
I have an SSIS Package to get the data from an Excel Source. For that I am using WMI Event Watcher to find when the file drops into a specific folder. It is working fine when I check any folders in the local machine.
We have a separate WebServer and Database Server for our application. The application is deployed in the Web server and the SSIS package is deployed in the Database server.
Since the files are dropped through application, it is dropped in the Webserver. I have mapped that drive in my Database Server and I am trying to link that folder in the SSIS package, but the event is not firing.
Please provide me some solution for this and revert for any clarifications.
Thanks & Regards,

I am using this task as the first task in my control flow.I want to check if a particular file exists in the particular location.IF exisists run the package else no.
How do i configure this...please help..
Hi,
I am using a WMI Event Watcher task to watch for files dropped into a directory over a network drive.
It seems to work fine when it is pointed to a physical drive name, but not when I use a machine name.
I.e.
This works -
SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "CIM_DirectoryContainsFile" and TargetInstance.GroupComponent= "Win32_Directory.Name="C:\\temp\\folder1\\folder2\folder3""
This fails -
SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "CIM_DirectoryContainsFile" and TargetInstance.GroupComponent= "Win32_Directory.Name=\\\\machineName\\folder1\\folder2\\folder3"
The failing code does not throw any errors (i.e. SSIS thinks the WQL syntax is correct), but it doesn't pick up any dropped files.
Am I doing something incorrect with the syntax, or must I use a physically mapped drive letter?
Thanks

I know a WMI event watcher can be used to watch for a new file being added to a folder. However, I need to check for new folders being added to an existing folder. I haven't been able to find a post on doing this. Is there a way in WQL to check for a new folder being added instead of a new file? I've used SQL for years, but am new to SSIS.

Hi!
Just set up my first Service Broker test. Wanted to send an Event Notification from one instance to another. Finally, the message arrives but profiler shows that the message is still being continously resent (and rejected as being duplicate). What am I doing wrong?
With best regards,

Hello,
I have been trying to drill down to the cause for this event log message:
"The configuration of the AdminConnectionTCP protocol in the SQL instance
SQLEXPRESS is not valid."
It is reported from the SQLBrowser service as a warning when the service
starts. I have tried starting SQLBrowser.exe with -c flag, but the output reveals no
errors. I have seen this error on three computers. Two are running SQL 2000, 2005
and Express. One was only running Express, but still this message.
I then looked into the log for the SQL Express server itself. It shows this
message on startup:
"Dedicated administrator connection support was not started because it is
not available on this edition of SQL Server. This is an informational message
only. No user action is required."
Now, it appears to me that these two messages may relate to the same
"error" (or rather behaviour by design). So, can anyone confirm that the
warning in the event log from the SQL Browser service occurs becuase of that
the SQL Express edition doesn't allow any "AdminConnection", but the SQL
Browser service isn't aware of that SQL Express edition shouldn't support that, and
reports it as a warning (implying that we can't do much about this warning)?
Thanks for any input on this issue!
Recently we migrated our environment to 2012.
We are planning to implement Xevents in all the servers in place of Trace files and everything is working fine.
Is it possible to configure Extended event to trigger a mail whenever any event (example dead lock) occurs.
I have gone through so many websites but i never find.
My SQL Server 2005 SP4 on Windows 2008 R2 is flooded with the below errors:-

Hi all,
Can we get the event properties by using a query?
Are there any extended stored procuder to get the above?
Scenario:
>Desktop>Right Click on My Computer
>Go to Manage and click
>Expand System Tools
>Expand Event Viewer
>Application
click on one event.We can get the log info which is the manual procudure.
But now i want to get the event properties through the Query analyzer...
Any help would be great?
Thanks,
Hi folks
Has anyone come across a task to watch an ftp site ?, I know there is a file watcher task from Konesans but it won't do ftp still very useful
BS
every 1 hour my server's computer is restarting !
when the windows finish restarting i open the Event viewer and see that what coused it is the error :
"Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database."
Event 107
source : "Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER)"
How can i solve it ?
Installed File watcher task, then created a new SSIS package by adding the file watcher task in the control flow, below are my setting's inside the file watcher task editor:
2. Options
Filter - *.*
Find Existing Files - True
Timeout warning - False
3. Path
Path input type: Direct imput
Path - \server1Sourcefolder
Include subdirectories - False
Actually my understanding about this task is:
This file watcher task will constantly check for the file and then will execute the SSIS package.
If my understanding is correct, then where do we specify the name of the SSIS package?? And also do we need this SSIS package which has the File watcher task to run every 5 minutes or so, so that it can keep checking for the file existence.
Please help, thanks!!
In the file watcher task in the filter section does it look for exsiting file name which we have mentioned or is it possible to give first few letters of the file name like
pat*.txt
Please let me know
Where the earth is this task??? I am not be able to see it anywhere!!
Thanks for any input,
Hello,
I have to make a application using filesystemwatcher which watches the file on the remote server. If that file is changed then I have to fetch that file from ftp location to the server. I have made the SSIS job to fetch the file but not able to set a file system watcher on remote server that watches the file. If the file is changed then I need to insert a row in the SQL server database and then fetch the file.
I have made the application. the code is below:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Create a new FileSystemWatcher and set its properties
FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher();
watcher.Path = "C:\";
watcher.IncludeSubdirectories = true;
/* Watch for changes in LastAccess and LastWrite times, and the renaming of files or directories.*/
watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.Attributes | NotifyFilters.LastAccess | NotifyFilters.LastWrite | NotifyFilters.Security | NotifyFilters.Size;
//watcher.WaitForChanged(WatcherChangeTypes.All );
// Add event handlers.
watcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnCreated);
watcher.Deleted += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
watcher.Renamed += new RenamedEventHandler(OnRenamed);
watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
}
public static void OnChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.FullPath + e.ChangeType.ToString("G") + "" );
}
public static void OnCreated(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.FullPath + e.ChangeType + "");
}
public static void OnRenamed(Object source, RenamedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.OldFullPath + e.FullPath + "" + e.OldName);
}
Now how can I give the ftp details such as IP address, User name and password in the above code.

I'm trying to use a WMI Event Watcher Task as a directory watcher. I know it is available from Konesans at http://www.sqlis.com/23.aspx but they don't feel obliged to make this open source yet. I definitely appreciate the contribution of the binary to the community.
I'm very interested in understanding how the event handler gets the path of the file that caused the event. I added a Script Task to the Event Handler tab and it fires as expected when I create a new file in the directory. I can retrieve the value of the SourceName which is just the name of my Event Watcher Task. I can't find documentation on an object model that is exposed through SSIS that would reveal the name or path of the file, although it's clear this information is available in direct WMI queries from code or a WSH script.
My only guess is that you need to do a workaround in Script (or a custom module) by querying the directory for the most recent file (or list of files compared to a list of processed files) rather than a synchronous feed of the path directly into the SSIS event handler. Ideally, you'd like to get one event per new file created, although this might not be deterministic with the way the OS fires these events and SSIS responds to them. So at the end of the day, querying the directory for recently created files may be the only reliable way of getting the (list of) new files.
I know that this can take hours and hours to figure out since you really need to understand how WMI interacts with SSIS but I would be indebted if you can shed some light on this for me and the community.
Thanks,
Norm
I would like this task to watch for a particular text file in the particular folder.

I am trying to watch for new files being created in a directory on a SQL server, using a WMI watcher. But I am getting a strange error in wbemess.log. The package runs, but does not detect files in the directory. There is no known anti virus software being run....
(Thu Nov 30 18:51:19 2006.799112375) : Unable to activate event filter with invalid class name 'HPQ_VT_STATUS_VIRUS_LIKE_ACTIVITY_IS_OCCURRING' (error 80041002). The filter is not active
(Thu Nov 30 18:51:19 2006.799112375) : Unable to activate event filter with invalid class name 'HPQ_VT_STATUS_VIRUS_LIKE_ACTIVITY_HAS_STOPPED' (error 80041002). The filter is not active
The expression I am using is correct, because I get a parsing error and the package fails to run if the correct number of backslashes are not in the right place. Below are two that I have tried.SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'CIM_DataFile' AND TargetInstance.Drive='C:' AND TargetInstance.Path='\\work\\ssis\'
SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "CIM_DirectoryContainsFile" and TargetInstance.GroupComponent= "Win32_Directory.Name="c:\\work\\ssis""
Anyone seen this before or have any useful suggestions? The server is an HP Proliant, could that be linked to the HPQ_?
We recently upgraded to SQL 2005 from SQL 2000. We have most of our issues ironed out however about every 1 minute there is a message in the Application Event log and the SQL log that states:
EVENT ID 18456 Login Failed for the users DOMAIN/ACCOUNT [CLIENT: <local machine>]
This is a state 16 message which I thought meant that the account does not have access to the default database. The account is actually the account that the SQL services run under.
Any ideas? We can't seem to figure this one out. We actually upgraded to 2005 from 2000 and had an error appear after every reboot that prevented the SQL Agent from running(This application has failed to start because GAPI32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.) We did a full uninstall of SQL and reinstalled fresh and restored the databases from .bak files and that is when the EVENT ID 18546 started occuring every minute.
We don't have any SQL heavy hitters here so please be detailed with any possible solutions. That you very much for any help you can provide!

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 used file system watcher to read excel on my pc it worked fine, but when I tried to read the excel from SharePoint it did't work. The FileWatcher box showing the yellow color for long time that I had to stop the ssis.
So my question what is the cause of this. Do i need to set something or am i missing something? Please help.
My SSIS control flow includes a standard "textbook" WMI Event Watcher Task that monitors a folder for incoming files. Generally it works fine, but now I regularly see the error message:
"Watching for the Wql Query caused the following system exception: "Quota Violation." Check the query for errors or WMI connection for access rights/permissions"
I do not see any indication of trouble in the event logs. The SSIS log simply states that it failed.
Is there any magic about WMI Event Watcher?
When I restart, it runs fine for hours.
SQL05 is 9.0.3054 on W2003 with all microsoft updates applied. It is basically a bare machine with SQL Server, SSIS running and a service that kicks in occasionally.
Thanks for reading!
Hey there
Ive built an SSIS package which generates a file from a legacy system and then downloads the file into a designated folder on the server. I need the file watcher task to wait for a the file to completely finish loading before it says it is complete. Currently, as soon as the file is created, the WMI step finishes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind Regards
David
HI, I need to trigger some packages upon existance of specific files in a particular directory. Sound lkike the file watcher task (from SQLIS) would do the job but I am wondering what is the difference of using this tool instead of a for each loop container. I mean, If a file exists in a directory, the for each loop container will detect it. Since the file watcher is not a service, the package containing it needs to ne scheduled on a regular basis for the filewatcher to detect the file, right? So, a for each loop container would do the job? So, waht wouldbe the advantage of using the file watcher task?
Thank you,

I have an almost virgin install of SQLExpres running on a WIN2K Pro system.
Have been able to create and connect db to Access 2000 without problem.
Now I wish to extend to remote connections. Using Surface Area Configuration tool, I changed Remote Connections to Local and Remote.
Whenever this setting contains TCP/IP and I try to restart the service I receive the following errors:
System Log:
The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 10013.
Application Log:
Server TCP provider failed to listen on [ 'any' <ipv4> 0]. Tcp port is already in use.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x271d, status code 0xa.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x271d, status code 0x1.
Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately preceding this one in the error log.
SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
If I change back to Local Connections Only or Local and Remote using named pipes only, the service starts up again without a problem.
After five days of investigating, researching, reinstalling and waiting I have to ask for help.
Any suggestions or leads?
Thank You in advance.
