XML Task Inside Foreach Container, Fails All Iterations After First Failure
Dec 7, 2006
I am looping through xml files and validating them with the XML Task. On sucess I want to perform task 2, on failure I want to perform task 3. When one file fails to validate all subsequent tasks fail.
I have also tried putting the result in a variable instead of using the success constraint. I get the same result, the variable keeps the failed value after the first file fails. Any advise is greatly appreciated.
I am using an XML task for validating the XML data against the Schema XSD. I have more XML Files with same the schema. I have to used a for loop container which has an XML task for validate XML. The loop container gets the XML File into variables name "XMLFileName" which the loop current file, in turn, used by XML Task for validation.
XML task is configured in the option "Validate". I have provided the XML Data in variable name "XMLFileName" also get the name from the loop container and XSD file content File Connection. XML Task stored the result in the another variable name "OKFormat". FailOnValidationFail property set to false.
It had the error when I run the package, the error msg as below:
Error: 0xC002F304 at XML Task, XML Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.".
Error: 0xC002928F at XML Task, XML Task: Property "New Source" has no source Xml text; Xml Text is either invalid, null or empty string.
Task failed: XML Task
After that, I had to change the source type from Variable to File Connection, and had to test fixed to some xml file it had ok for validate the XML file againt XSD.
I don't know this is the wrong setting or bug of SSIS, anyone can guide me through.
I am using an XML task for validating the XML data against the XML Schema. Let me describe the scenario, I am working on.
I have XML Files with different schema. I have different XSD files for each XML file type. I have used a for loop container which has a script task and an XML task. Script task gets the XML File and XSD file contents into variables which are, in turn, used by XML Task for validation.
XML task is configured in the option "Validate". I have provided the XML Data in variable and XSD file content in other variable. XML Task stored the result in another variable. FailOnValidationFail property set to false.
Every thing works fine until result of XML Task is false. If XML Task fails for one of the files, it fails for each subsequent files. If first file does not compile to schema and other files do, then XML task fails all the files because first file failed.
Is this a problem with XML Task or I have missed any property. Please, guide me through.
I've got a Foreach loop container which uses a Foreach ADO Enumerator and works fine.
But problem comes when I launch inside the general loop another Sql Task (select) which sometimes has rows and sometimes hasn't. When it have rows everything is fine the workflow follows fine but when it has not.
I obtain this error (obvioulsy)
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "GZon": "Single Row result set is specified, but no rows were returned.".
in a my SSIS 2012 pkg I'm using a Foreach ADO Enumerator container that reads an object variable in order to get an id value.This identifier is passed as an input parameter to an Execute SQL task to update an Oracle table: if this task fails the id is written on a SQL Server table. After the Execute SQL task execution, with success or failure, the flow go to another task in the container.
When an error occurs for the update on Oracle table, each tasks inside the container are executed but the container fails and the loop ends.I'd like to complete the entire loop respect to the identifiers present in the object variable also if the update operation on Oracle table goes in error.
My Foreach Loop container has 10 different task inside. I want to execute the first task only one time. I have a variable with increases for each repition. How can I put precedence contstraint on the first task so that it should execute only first time and other task has to execute all the time.
I have an Execute SQL Task that reads columns as strings but can be null. I feed the information in the result set to a foreach loop container and when nulls are encountered the package dies there. Is there an easy way to deal with this other. I have changed all of my null possible columns to object types but I don't want to do this for all of the possible null columns.
Does anyone know how to change the task name displayed within a ForEach Loop Container (or of the ForEach Loop Container task itself) based on a variable. I am pretty familiar with setting variable values during task execution and using expressions to alter task properties based on variables. I have tried using an expression to alter the value of the Name property of the ForEach Loop Container but the name of the ForEach Loop Container does not change during execution. Since the color of the various tasks change during execution, I would think that the task names could be changed as well.
I've created an SSIS package that contains a Sequence Container with TransactionOption = Required. Within the container, there are a number of Execute Package Task components running in a serial fashion which are responsible for performing "Upserts" to dimension and fact tables on our production server. The destination db configuration is loaded into each of these packages using an XML configuration file. The structure of these "Upsert" packages are nearly identical, while some execute correctly and others fail. Those that fail all provide the same error messages.
These messages appear during Pre-Execute
[Insert new dimension record [1627]] Error: The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "DW" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: component "Insert new dimension record" (1627) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020801C.
... which are followed by
[Connection manager "DW"] Error: The SSIS Runtime has failed to enlist the OLE DB connection in a distributed transaction with error 0x8004D00A "Unable to enlist in the transaction.".
[Connection manager "DW"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8004D00A.
While still in debug mode, I can check the properties of the "DW" connection and successfully test the connection within the packages that fail.
The same packages run successfully when tested outside the container (i.e. no transaction) or when the configuration file is modified to point the "DW" connection to a development version of the db which is running on the same server as the source database.
I have successfully used DTCtester to verify that transactions from source to destination server are working correctly. Also tried setting DelayValidation = True with no change. I have opened a case with Microsoft and am awaiting a reply so I thought I'd throw a post out here to see if anyone else has encountered this and might have a resolution. Here's some more on the environment:
Source Server:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1 SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition SP0
Destination Server:
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP1 SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP3 (clustered)
Thank you in advance for any feedback you might be able to provide.
Getting Access Denied To FileName Error When Using the Execute Sql Task (With File Connection) into a Foreach Loop Container.
Please Note :
I have a folder containing .sql files. I have to dynamically loop through the files and send them as a File connection Folder to the Execute Sql Task.
When I run this Package I am getting the follwoing error :
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Access to the path 'C:ProjectsFuzzy Lookup DataFlow ExampleScripts' is denied.".
Also I have logged in to the machine as Administrator and to Sql Server with sa.
I was trying to insert some row from one table to another of different database. I was using Execute SQL task along with Foreach loop container.
In my execute SQL task I am using this query
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.Table1 ON
INSERT INTO dbo.Table1
SELECT * FROM DB2.dbo.Table2 WHERE TableKey = ?
When executed I get this error: failed with the following error: "Syntax error, permission violation, or other nonspecific error". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
While the same query when executed in Management Studio Its successful.
The properties I set
For Each Loop Editor Settings: 1) Collection: a) Enumerator Set to ForEach ADO Enumerator b) ADO Object Source Variable: User:bjectVariablename c) Checked Rows in the first table 2) Variable Mapping: New Int Variable2 and Index = 0 to set it to first colunm. 3) Expression: Left blank
Execute SQL Task Editor: 1) General: a) Timeout : 0 b) CodePage: 1252 c) Result Set: None d) SQLSourceType: Directinput e) SQL Statement: SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.Table1 ON INSERT INTO dbo.Table1 SELECT * FROM DB2.dbo.Table2 WHERE TableKey = ? f) BypassPrepare: False 2)Parameter Mapping: Variable Name : New Integer variable2 selected Direction: Input DataType: Long ParameterName: 0
Can somebody help me in this regards.

How is foreach loop container - foreach ADO enumerator performace in SSIS package compares to use of cursors in stored procedures
Is there any articles comparing them
I understand a lot of factors can affect the performance, however what is expected performance for the foreach ADO enumerator loop for large dataset. What is Microsoft recommendation for that - recommended - not recommended (using large datasets - over million records)
If i place a loop container inside a sequence container the connectors within the loop container disappear.... is this a bug - will the loop tasks still run in the correct order?? or will they fire off willy nilly??
Sorry that I open a new thread again but I didn€™t found any good tutorials about foreach loop container. I would like to read every row from one table and do something. I red something about sql task€¦ Can someone give a little instruction, please?
I using data flow task to import from flat file to database but i need to use Foreach Loop Container to import multiple files in specific folder and all will be insert in the same table
Is there a way to set a variable as a substring of the enumerator in a Foreach File Enumerator type? The Variable Mappings tab in the Foreach Loop Editor does not allow you to enter an expression.
Can anyone point me to an example of using a ForEach Loop Container to step through the rows in a recordset. I cannot seem to see how this is done from the help files.
Currently the ForEach Loop container is set to loop over the entire collection of records in my table, but I only need to loop thru the records where the status = x. How is that possible? Can I use expressions to set the enumerator to do something like this. Basiclly the collection values are used for further processing, and I would like to avoid looping thru records which have been processed already, which means they already have a status set to y. Please let me know. Thanks.
With a ForEach container, configured to loop through files in a directory, if I have a problem with a file.. can I direct the loop to skip on to the next file?
I'm processing structured files, first record of each is some header info, body records are in the middle, and then the last record is a trailer containg a checksum
So, for each file in the directory, I split the records into three raw files, one for header rec(s) , one for body recs and one for trailer recs. (based on line numbers and using a conditional split to direct the records)
Then I start by processing the header recs in a dataflow.. if all goes well there I move on to the next dataflow to process the body recs from the DataRecs raw file.. etc...
I would like to do some validation at each processing step.. if a header rec fails validation say... then I'd like to just stop processing that file and move onto the next file...
Now, I don't see my validation throwing an exception... so its more that I'd decide (maybe using an Audit ) that the header doesn't pass validation.. then I'd like to put a record in an error table (with info about filename, source etc, not just content of the current data row)
But not sure what approach to take on this...
If there is an appropriate section in BOL please point me at it...
I am having hard time with foreach loop container. The for each loop container in my package goes over all the rows in a ADO enumerator recordset variable and shows row values one by one in message box. The problem is that it just keeps printing the first row infinitely. Could anyone tell me what could be wrong?
I have a few hundred data files that I need to process in groups from oldest to most recent. To that end, I have created staging folders for each date that appears in the file names (example: 20060213) and moved all of the data files to the appropriate folders.
I also have these folder names in a recordset that has been sorted in ascending order, so the oldest date should be the first record, the second-oldest date should be second and so on. My thinking is to use this recordset with a ForEach Loop Container to loop through each folder, but I am not sure if Integration Services will necessarily loop through the records in order.
Can someone tell me whether the records will be processed in order or suggest a better alternative to make sure the directories are processed in the correct order?
Dear All! I have a "Foreach Loop Container" to search files in a folder. And I only want to search .txt and .txt.gz file. I set property "FileSpec" as "*.txt,*.txt.gz" but my container dont run. Can you help me? Thanks
I want to set up a Foreach loop container to loop through several flat files. I have a connection manager set up for individual flat files. The metadata for the files is all the same. They are fixed width files, and contain sixty five columns.
I didn't see a place in the container properties to configure the metadata of the files. How can a Foreach Loop Container 'know' the metadata of the flat files that I want to loop through?
Another classic example of something silly I must be doing
I have a "Foreach Loop Container" which uses a "Foreach ADO Enumerator". The object source is a recordset variable.
Inside the "Foreach Loop Container", a lot of things are happening - some Execute SQL Tasks, Send Mail Tasks, Script Tasks and also a couple of Sequence Containers.
Now, I am getting 2 records in the recordset, but, the "Foreach Loop Container" executes just once.
I would like to loop through a folder and then log the folder's content, as in the names of the files, into a database like all the events get logged. Here is what i have done. I put some files into the folder c: emp made a loop through it, set up a variable 'temp' scope is the foreach loop, set the variable raisechangedevent to true. I have also confgigured the loop to put the result of the looping, in the temp variable in the variable mappings tab.
Strangely nothing is recorded into the "execution results" when i test run the package ? Do i need to make a event handler for the onvariablevaluechanged event for the foreach loop container to be able to get the value of the variable logged or is there something other that i'm missing ?
I have a problem using SSIS since I was a beginner, the problem is I have to do some data transform from flat files into database. These flat files come from many branches of my office with the file structure like this D:SSISranch_nmfile_nm.txt, in folder SSIS there are many branch_nm folder and each branch_nm folder contains many flat files.
My idea was grab the branch_nm folder into array variable using Script Task and then loop this array variable using ForEach Loop Container to get the file and using it for Flat File connection, but I don't know the way to do it.
May this idea work out for sure ?? How to use array variable, that we previously defined inside Script Task, in ForEach Loop Container ?
My requirement is I have to read 2 sets of files from a folder. For example, I have to read all files starting with either 'a' or 'b' only. In 'Foreach Loop', if I say 'a*,b*', it is not working. Instead of comma (,), I tried colon, semi-colon and pipeline characters also. It is not working. So I am using 2 loops now. But I would like to know is there any way to do it using a single loop?
In all of our extract packages, we use a foreach loop container to grab files from the 400 sitting out in a certain directory. For this particular package, we have specified the files should be named RP*.* We know there are several files out in the directory. The package runs without error and completes, but says no files were found in the directory with that name. What could be causing this issue? Thanks!
I have a Foreach Loop Container task. I am using it to loop through some files in a folder. I tried to use an expression to set the folder to a variable called DataDirectory. I did not see a folder expression.
OK. I give up and need help. Hopefully it's something minor ...
I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.
part number leadtime
x 5
y 9
....
Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
