SQL Server 2008 :: SSIS Copy File From SharePoint Library Using File System Task Permissions?
Jun 19, 2015Historically 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.
Batch File To Copy File And Append Date
Jan 5, 2005The Sql Server database can only see the local drive.
I would like to set up a batch file that will copy a SQL Server
backup file from the local drive to the network drive. I would
like to append the file date to the end of the copied file. I
assume a batch file can accomplish this but I am new to batch
file writing. Does anyone have code that they already created
for this sort of task??
Thank you!
Check File Date And Copy File
Apr 23, 2007Hi,
I need to set up create a package so that I could check the date of the files posted in a folder, e.g. H:source. If there is no file created later than one day exists, then continue to check again one hour later. If files do exists, then copy then to c:dest and then upzip the files. Once this is done, sent an notification email to user@mydomain.com.
Thanks,
File..Save Copy Of &&<package File&&> As... Not Available
Mar 27, 2006According to the help for SSIS, one method of deploying an SSIS package
to a SQL Server,
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms137565.aspx, is to use the
File...Save a Copy of <package file> as... menu option.
I don't have that menu option at all. And yes, the package is in
focus. My save menu options are simply; Save Selected, Save
<package file> As... and Save All.
I am using Version 9.00.1399.00 of the SSIS Designer.
At one time I did have the Management Studio's CTP installed.
However it was uninstalled before installing the tools from the
Standard Edition. (it would seem like not completely however)
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx much.
p.s. Almost forgot to mention... I am already aware of using the
DTSInstall utility as a workaround. It should be noted, however,
that despite enabling the "CreateDeploymentUtility" property, the
DTSInstall.exe is not copied to the binDeployment directory.

Cannot Copy The Mdf File After Processing
Feb 1, 2007I have a windows service that connects to a regular sql server 2005 database and basically bulk copies data into a SQL express database. Afterwards, I just want to copy the MDF file into a different directory. I keep getting the "Process cannot access file because it is being used by another process" error. I've tried changing the connection strings but nothing seems to work. I'm closing the connections in the code as well. Here is the code. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. RefreshDB calls Sync 3 times and if all three calls are successful, it attempts to copy the database file to the specified location. This is where I get the error.
Public Function RefreshDB() As Boolean
Dim success As Boolean = True
Dim tables() As String = {"Job", "Equipment", "PMScheduled"}

Next
If success Then

Try
File.Copy(My.Settings.DBFilePath, My.Settings.TargetDirectory + "EMField.mdf")
Catch ex As Exception
My.Application.Log.WriteEntry(ex.Message + "(RefreshDB)", TraceEventType.Critical)

End Try
End If
Return success
End Function

Copy Content Of Txt File
Nov 6, 2006Hi Guys,
What approach should I use to copy content of a text file. Is BCP capable of doing this? How about SSIS?
Example of the text file's content:
Date, "20060101"
ST_Code, "101"
A_Code, P_Code, T_Code, amount, price
"0001", "1111", "0101", 550, 230
"0002", "1111", "0102", 345, 122
"2001", 0212", 0930", 410, 90
In the example above, I just want to copy the rows Date, "20060101" and ST_Code, "101" into a table.

Lars

ActiveX To Copy And Rename File
Feb 3, 2006Hi,
I'm looking to use ActiveX in a DTS to copy a file from on elocation to another.
I have the code for this (attached below kindly supplied by a colleague), so that's cool.
dim filesys
set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If filesys.FileExists("D:CreditsCredits_MTD.mdb") Then
filesys.CopyFile "D:CreditsCredits_MTD.mdb", _
"C:CreditsCredits_200602.mdb"
End If
But what I'm looking to do is go one step further.
As you can see, it renames the file to yyyymm, but this is hard coded, and I'm looking for a coded solution so I can rename the file with yesterday's date.
Can anybody help me please?

Is Copy Of Database And Log File Enough For Backup?
Jun 10, 2006Hello,
i would like to copy the SQL Server Express database .mdf and .ldf files for backup. Is this ok?
Autoclose = true and recovery model = simple.
Must i detach the database before copy the 2 files or can i copy the 2 files without detach at any time? When connections are open (also remote connections).
Can i copy at any time even when transactions are active?
I would like to write a copy programm which copies the 2 files every 30 minuutes. Only 30 minutes of work could be lost.
This would be enough for me and i don't have to care for the the BACKUP and RESTORE stuff. In the past i used BACKUP and when i needed this BACKUP it did not run. Returns some error message..
Is copy ok? When is it possible? At any time or must all transactions be comitted? Must all connections (remotes too) be closed? Must the database be detached?
Is this enough to have a valid backup? Backup would be an attach of the .mdf file.
Or must i use the BACKUP and RESTORE stuff? Why?
If so, for what reason is the AUTO CLOSE property there?
Regards,
Markus

Moving Db Via Detach Then Copy And Paste 44 Gig Db File?
Aug 21, 2000Hi,
I have a 44 gig db that I moved to another server via the NT copy and paste method. The db has gotten a little larger, and now NT gets almost to the end, but can not complete -- either starts over completely and just does the last few minutes over and over.
Is there an NT copy and paste limit? Any ideas what the problem is? Is the db mixed up?
Thanks for any help.

Fastest Method To Copy A File Across Network?
Jul 23, 2005I work with databases and some of my backup files are 30-100 gigs insize. I currently use the FastCopy utility to copy files from oneserver to another. (This is needed when I need to transfer a DB to adifferent server). FastCopy says its 30 to 50% faster than Windowsfile copy. I read somewhere that the windows kernel defaults to4mb/sec throughput for copying.Is this true? Is there a faster way or some utility to copy files?I'm aware of RoboCopy but the documentation didn't mention anythingabout faster performance. All my servers are windows 2000 NTFS.Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedCopy Bak, Trn Files To File Server With Robocopy.
Nov 29, 2007I need help with better solution to copy my bak and trn files to a file server. This is the background. I use to dump the backup files directly to the file server; this was not €œbest practices€? according to some books and forums. Back to dump the file first to local disc and after that letting robocopy copy the files to the file server. And I end up with this problem.
This is error from the backup log

Robocopy tries to copy the file before its completely written to disk. I have made a batch file that looks like this
robocopy

Monitor the file folder and copy all files every 5 min, the file is started with scheduled Task.
Have I missed some switch? Can start robocopy from SQL Serer Agent in a xp_cmd_shell?

When To Copy Template Excel File For Output?
Jul 7, 2006I'm writing an SSIS package to run a series of select statements and save the results of each to a sheet in an Excel file. An indirect configuration file with these entries is used:
Package.Variables[User::ExcelTemplateFilePath].Properties[Value]
Package.Connections[AcculoanDatabase].Properties[ConnectionString]
Package.Connections[ExcelReportFile].Properties[ExcelFilePath]
At the start of the package this setup will happen.
1) copy ExcelTemplateFilePath to ExcelFilePath
2) Set User::ReportFilePath to ExcelFilePath
Creating a script task to do this is not a problem. However the task fails on validation of the tasks that write the select results to the Excel file sheets. I'm thinking the validation fails because the Excel file is not copied before the validation is done.
How can I arrange for the setup script to run and copy the Excel file before validation?
Is there is a better way or am I just doing this wrong?
Thanks
