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.
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 ?
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
Hello, i have something like this, i want the annoucements (status = 0) to be on top, then topics with (status = 1) below, then the rest of the topics. So i tried: SELECT forum_topics.id, forum_topics.status, forum_topics.username AS starter, forum_topics.subject, forum_topics.closed, forum_topics.answerpostid, forum_topics.views, forum_topics.answers, forum_topics.lastanswer, forum_topics.lastanswerid, forum_topics.created AS started, forum_answer.username, forum_answer.answer, forum_answer.created FROM forum_topics LEFT OUTER JOIN forum_answer ON forum_answer.id = forum_topics.lastanswerid WHERE (boardid = @ID OR boardid = 0) ORDER BY (status) ASC, (created) ASC Problem is that they are not sorted diffrently, when i change the (created) ASC to (created) DESC i get the same result and the rows are not sorted, they only get sorted by status so i have status=0 at the top, then status=1 then the rest. How do i get them to be sorted first by status ASC then by created ASC/DESC? Patrick
Hello friends, I have developed an ASP.NET 2.0 application. The problem is that the IIS server returns the next error:
SQL Server does not allow remote connections
Sometimes returns:
SQL Server does not exists.
My question is if there is any known bug with ASP.NET and SQL Server. My sql server have activated the Remote Connections (its working properly on other web page).
Its a problem of the number of connections?? Its a problem ofbad configuration?? Its a IIS problem??
Hi, I am exporting a table to a fixed width flat file using "Ragged Right" format. Though i specify carriage return for the last column, the text file is not taking it up.
I am doing the following for connection cmFlatFile.properties("Format").SetValue(cmFlatFile,"RaggedRight") cmFlatFile.properties("RowDelimiter").SetValue(cmFlatFile,vbCrLf)
and while adding the column i am setting up the width as follows
For cols = 0 to vColumns.Count -1 Dim col As IDTSConnectionManagerFlatFileColumn90 = ff.Columns.Add() if cols = vColumns.Count - 1 Then col.ColumnDelimiter = vbCrLf end if cols.ColumnType = "FixedWidth" cols.Columnwidth = 20 ...... Next cols
Still the rows are exported next to each other just like when we use FixedWidth.
I have several packages where I set up a SQL Server log provider. The packages are all called from jobs.
However, for some reason, only ONE of the packages is logging to the sysdtslog90 table in my specified database.
All of packages have the identical set up for the logging. Here are my settings under logging:
PROVIDERS AND LOGS: Name: SSIS Log Provider for SQL Server (box is checked) Configuration: ServerName.DBName (I use this same connection for all the packages)
DETAILS: OnError is checked
CONTAINERS: All items are checked
So what's going on here? I have successfully logged to this table using test cases in BIDS, and as I mentioned, ONE of the packages is actually logging to the table when it's called from the job.
Hi all, I use SqlHelper to connect to database. I need to set a timeout to execute some sp because I don´t want to wait for this sp if it make me wait a lot. So I set the Connection TimeOut every time I execute a sp. But this seems not working properly. I set this value to 5 and I execute a sp than runs in 15 but It waits for it. Any idea
We've altered an UPDATE trigger - now it doesn't work properly. When updating a record (via a web application) by clearing the value for a particlar column, we get error:
UPDATE failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'QUOTED_IDENTIFIER'.
Code = 800a0c93 Source = ADODB.Recordset Description = Operation is not allowed in this context.
What the trigger does is prevent a zero-length string from being inserted into the database, which violates a check constraint, and instead inserts NULL. The web app - whose code we cannot modify - apparently does this. This was working fine, until we altered the trigger to add an additional column for update. Our SQL developer person has left, so us less knowledgable (about SQL) folks are trying to pick up the slack.
trigger code:
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF GO SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO

Hi guys, I am importing a file using the Bulk Insert command, but the fieldterminator is not working for me. My data: “lname�, “fname�, “addr�, “phone�, “lang�
My command: BULK INSERT dbo.zGE_RCF_POS_IMPORT FROM 'E:operationsdatafilesGEFTPINGE_RCF_POS_EXPORT.txt' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '","') The quote are removed from every field except the first quote in front of lname and the trailing quote behind lang. I tried changing the command to: BULK INSERT dbo.zGE_RCF_POS_IMPORT FROM 'E:operationsdatafilesGEFTPINGE_RCF_POS_EXPORT.txt' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = '"') But ran into field conversion problems, I also tried defining two fieldterminators got a syntax error. How can I get the desired results of removing all dbl quotes? Or do I have to write something to follow the Bulk Insert to remove the leading and trailing quotes?

Can someone please help me figure out why this trigger causes a "Timeout expired" error after the first try? What I'm trying to do is create an incrementing default value for the projectid field. I have a unique index on the field and for some reason, the INSERT statement won't run inside the TRY block, even though the WHILE loop creates a unique id. It's acting like the loop isn't incrementing, but the PRINT statements prove that the loop does work, but the INSERT statement doesn't work after a succesful first try (i.e. NEWPROJ-1 is inserted correctlly). Anyways, any help would be appreciated.

I have a query taken from a Crystal Report, and I've been working to modify it for a slightly different purpose. Â The initial report was designed to take an input of an end date, go back to the last day of the previous month, get Actuals (sales totals), then add up all sales, costs, and purchases up to the end date, then display assorted data.
The new query needs to take a begin date and and end date, go back to the last day of the previous month for actuals, add all sales, costs, and purchases to those actuals until it gets to the begin date. Â That is now the new Actual, and we need to sum up all transactions from then to the end date.
My problem lies in the fact that I can't get the query to add up the numbers.
The query is here:
SELECT DailyReport.Store, DailyReport.Report_Date, sum(dailyreport_Detail.sales) as Sales, sum(dailyreport_detail.actual) as Actual, sum(dailyreport_detail.cost) as Cost, CompanyGroups.Category, DailyReport_Detail.Product, CompanyGroups.Retail_Inv FROM (`DailyReport` `DailyReport` INNER JOIN `DailyReport_Detail` `DailyReport_Detail` ON
Here is the query:WHERE DATEPART(month, " + tableName + ".timestamp)>='" + startTextBox.Text + "' AND DATEPART(month, " + tableName + ".timestamp)<='" + endTextBox.Text + "'This is in a program using C# which is why it's in quotes and all that good stuff. The query itself works properly when startTextBox.Text = 8 and endTextBox.Text = 9. Itreturns results for both months 8 and 9. But when I want a result from a single month, say just 9... I put 9 in both text boxes and it ends up returning no results.Logic would tell me that say that both logics should come back TRUE but for some reason it's failing. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks in advance!
I have an Execute Process Task that calls a batch file.
I need to pass in a date value to the batch file.
If I enter the value 20071018 in the "Arguments" section, it works fine.
However, I use the "Standard Input Variable", User::MyDate (which gets assigned in a previous Execute SQL Task), it bombs. The query I am using returns the date back in the format yyyymmdd. It gets assigned to a string variable, called MyDate.
e.g.) SELECT TOP 1 CONVERT(VARCHAR, MyDate, 112) AS MyDate FROM myTable
which result is mapped to User::MyDate
Is there any obvious reason why this doesn't work?
I have a parameter @User givning a dropdown list from a dataset:
SELECT FullName FROM tvf_GetListOfUsers ('LDAP://OU=Business Users,OU=Users,OU=Production,DC=MRP,DC=NET,DC=NZ','Subtree') ORDER BY FullName
The parameter is passed to a second dataset when the User is chosen:
SELECT GroupName FROM tvf_GetUserMembership('LDAP://cn=' + @User + ',ou=business users,ou=users,ou=production,DC=MRP,DC=NET,DC=NZ') ORDER BY GroupName
This works fine in VS but when I deploy it only works the first time.
That is, I enter the username and run the report - it brings back the desired results. But when I enter a different username it just redisplays the old data from the first username I entered.
Any ideas?
Thanks Pete
PS The funcions above called in the datasets are for querying Active Directory but I think this is not the cause of the problem.
I have a FOR EACH LOOP that loops through a bunch of folders in search of particular filename (including path). That part works fine.
Then, INSIDE the FOR EACH LOOP, I have a script task that evaluates the filename and grabs the date portion of the filename. That part works fine too.
Now, here's my dilemma. If the date portion of the file name IS GREATER THAN the the value of another date in a variable, I want it to load the file into a table using a data flow task.
So, this is what my package looks like:
[ FOR EACH LOOP (Script task --- evaluate the date using an expression (see below) ---> Data flow task) ]
My expression looks like this:
@[User::fileDate] > @[User::maxLoadDate]
You think that this would work, right??
However, after the VERY FIRST iteration of the loop, the script task turns green, then it goes right to the data flow task, which then says that the file name is "", and can't be loaded. (I'm not sure why this is occuring)
My question is, is my logic correct? Can I use an expression inside the for each loop and have it work?
hi, i have a table having two column say columnA and columnB.columnA(text datatype) contains the data that is to written in a file and columnB(nvarchar datatype) contains the filepath.
but while configuring the export column tranformation, in the export column field i am getting the list of both the colums. here i am choosing columnA but in the file path name column i am not getiing the name of the column which contains the file name.
can anyone help me regarding how to configure the file path name column in export column transformation. from where we ll get the file path name.
in control flow, i have used only dataflow component and data flow tab i have used oledb source-->export column transformation-->oledb destination.
please help in configuring the export column transformation. thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am having a problem with this stored procedure. I'm using SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition and if I execute the procedure in a query window, I get no errors. Also, when the script runs from a website call there are no errors. The problem is that it doesn't return the information that is in the database. It is supposed to return the orders from Washington state between such and such dates. The orders are there in the database, so I think the where clause must be wrong.
Thanks for the help.

i have installed SQLEXPRESS (SQL Server 9.0.3042) on my windows ultimate laptop. of late am facing this issue of database. this database is from SQl 7.0 Desktop edition(the one that i use in my office machine with Xp SP2). As such it works fine in SQL 2000 server after attachment (for test).
i have run SQLEXPRESS as administrator to make/attach new database. i can attach the database easily and can even view tables and other stuffs inside database in administrator mode. the issue pops up when i run SQLEXPRESS in normal mode. when i try to open and view the same DB's content, error pops up stating
"The database XXX is not accessible. (Micorosoft.sqlserver.express.objectExplorer)"
i cannot access this DB via VB 6 form as it dosnt show up at all in database list when tried to connect via ADODC.
i want to make this DB accessibility as normal operation, not previliged only to administrator as application run on normal mode only.
the issue dosnt arise when i locally make a new database as it can be accessed when run in normal mode also. why does this happen to database that is attached and not to ones locally made.
pls guide me as i usually do my works at home and making whole database again will surely take lots of pain. why not it just attach then start working, not asking for preveliged mode.
I'm a SQL newbie, and I'm trying to write a report that returns records based on a beginning and end date that the user supplies. But when I run the query and supply the dates (begin 11/29/2007 / end 11/30/2007, for example), I'm only getting back one record, when there should be at least 3. It appears that my query is ignoring the =, and only returning those records that have a date > or <, not <= or >=.
I was told that it's possible that the time needs to be converted to UTC as well, but I'm not sure how to do that ( I tried, but I really don't know what I'm doing so I commented it out)... Can someone offer some guidance on how to get all the records to show up? I've pasted my query below, thanks in advance!
FilteredContact.new_referred_by, convert(varchar(10),FilteredContact.createdon,101) as Date--, SELECT GETDATE(FilteredContact.createdon) AS CurrentTime, GETUTCDATE(FilteredContact.createdon) AS UTCTime
Drill through bar charts work great in the report designer preview, but as soon as I deploy the report, and view the report in a webpage, drill through does not work smoothly.
I have to move the mouse around to be able to find a place on the bar to click through to the next report. Sometimes, I am able to click on the bar to go to next report, but then sometimes I have to click on the label, and other times somewhere in the vicinity of the label.
I am using a simple Data Flow within a Squence Controller and have added a Event Handler for OnPostExecute which contains a simple insert to a table, but this is not working. My package gets successfully execute but data is not getting inserted in the table used in Event Handler. I have also tried OnError, OnPackageFailer etc... but no results. Please guide.
I'm still fairly new to some of SSIS's enhanced funtionalities, one of them being Event handlers. I have tried creating a simple package, that simply contains a SQL Execute task that basically creates a simple table. Now i have then added a OnPostExecute even handler as a test which basically runs a script task that simply shows a msgbox. I have gone to execute the package, however after the completion of the SQL Execute task, nothing happens, the even handler doesnt get fired for some reason, i switch to the even handler page and the script task has not been executed. It is like this for every event handler i have tried, even the OnError event. Could this be a problem with my installation of SSIS or have i done something wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have done SSIS training and to create an event handler was never this hard!
