Copy Files Into Same Destination Directory
Mar 14, 2008
Hi,
How do I copy files from several subdirectories into the same directory? I have about 80 subdirectories of a parent directory from which I want to copy the files and place the copies into the same, flat destination directory. I tried using the copy file and copy directory file system tasks, but this always seems to recreate the subdirectory structure under the destination directory.
How can I get around this in SSIS?
Thanks in advance,
Bruce.
SSIS - Best Way To Copy Files From One Directory To Another
May 8, 2007In SSIS, I was to:
take files from c:directory1
copy them to cirectory2 with a different name (concatenated date on the end)
delete them from c:directory1
Should I be using the Script Task for this? I am wondering if I should be using the File System Task which copies directories or files, but I don't know if I could rename the files during the copy.
Also, I want the directory names to be in the configuration file. I am not sure how to do this. If I set up a flat file source connection, I need to specify a file name and I just want the directory names. How do I get them in the config file and how to I read them into my script from the config file?

How To Load And UnZip Files From FTP Directory
Mar 5, 2008
HI All,
I have Uzip Files to be loaded From ftp.companyname.com, the zip files get updated everyday thus i have to load the newly added files, the Zip file has got 13 text Files within it, the issue is:
1. how do i load it for the new zip file only, the zip files are shown below, i am trying using FTP Task, but need more info.
2. How do i UnZip it and and take the text files and then load them to sql server 2005, each text file has to be loaded to sql server tables.
3. How do i automate it, i mean every time i run the package (on Job based) it has to look the new file only, see the zip file below to understand what i am saying about.
02/25/2008 09:02PM 2,780,729 CompanyName_2008-02-22.zip

03/04/2008 04:49PM 3,238,121 CompanyName_2008-03-03.zip
As you can see the Zip file names are the blues color, they are added at different time, thus what i need is only the current Zip file (i mean i have to Load only the newly added Zip file (recent one)). Thus the SSIS Task has to go to this FTP server and look the newly added zip file. After that i have Unzip it b/se i have 13 text files there, and then Load them to Sql Server 2005.
Please get help on this, the deadline is near by time, if possible try as soon as possible, I would like to say Thank you for every help you do and try.
Thanks,
Maintenance - Not Deleting Old Files
Apr 3, 2006We have our Maintenance routines set up to delete files older that one week, but it is not working...
...Consequently, we forget to go out and remove the files manually, thus we lose backups due to the drive being full and have to manually remove files, then backup the databases and start all over again.
Has anybody had this problem and can you tell me where to look to try and figure out what the problem is ??
Thanks in advance,

Deleting Older Files
Aug 23, 2004I have a backup job that has failed.
The database size is 20.6 GB and the Transaction logs are 135MB
The amount of disk space I have left is 3.65MB. Which I know is not going to work.
However on the maintenance plan it is suppose to remove files older than 1 day.
I am wondering if a job works like this:
Step 1 create backup file
Step 2 Create Transaction Log Back up
Step 3 Delete old backup file
Step 4 Delete old Transaction log back up
Which tell me I would need to have double amount of disk space to accommodate 2 20 GB backup file and 2 135MB Transaction log file.
Is this correct??
Also is there a way that I can have step 3,4 done first.

Backup Jobs Not Deleting Old Files!
Sep 12, 2007Such a simple task. Not doing as it should!!
This Maintenance Cleanup Task is set to delete all BAK and TRN files it's made (in seperate maintenance plans) in given path, with the given file extension, delete files based on the age of the file at task run time. Delete files older that 4 days.
The files are now backing up for months and months. I'm not going to take care of this. I've got a computer to do this for me, every time it runs its jobs, every 4 hours and once overnight.
This is ignoring commands and refusing to do as it's told. I've checked the settings in here over and over. It's so simple - what could be wrong? I've checked the path, the file age, the extensions... The disks are getting full!
Has anyone seen anything like this?
Deleting Files With The FTP Client On A UNIX Box

Error: 0xC002918E at FTP Task, FTP Task: Unable to delete remote files using "FTP Connection Manager".
Task failed: FTP Task
This is a unix server. I'm able to delete the files using other FTP clients but the FTP client in the SSIS package cannot delete the files. I read on many places on the interent that this is a known MS bug. Let me know if there is some sort of work around for this. I'm using SQL servewr 2005 SSIS packages to accomplish this task..

How To Move The Bad Data Into Another Directory While Looping Through A Set Of FLAT FILES ?
Sep 1, 2007Currently looping through the set of flat files like CHK0604, CHK0611, CHK0618, and CHK0625 from the source folder C:SOURCE
OBJECTIVE within the flat file if any records/rows cause error i have to move the bad data into separate folder C:ERROR
STEPS TAKEN
1) In FOREACH LOOP component i specified the variable User:: sourceFilePath for my source file CHK0604 etc. location C:SOURCE. The loop walkthrough each file in C:SOURCE and if no error then moves the flat file into another folder C:ARCHIVED. This task is perfectly working.
2) Within the dataflow I am diverting the the bad rows from "conditional component" into "Flat File Destination" Component.
3) "Flat File Destination" Connection manager i set the expressions as @[User:: sourceFilePath] +"_Error.TXT".
ISSUE
Because of point (3) the error file is created in the SOURCE flat file location C:SOURCE.
QUESTION
1) My error file name should be CHK0604_Error, CHK0611_Error, CHK0618_Error, CHK0625_Error created in another folder C:ERROR.
2) How to move the bad data into another directory while looping through a set of FLAT FILES ?
3) If i have to create another variable like @[User:: ErrorFilePath] where to create ? How to use the source file title as the title of error file.?
Thanks for the help
SQL 2012 :: Deleting Already Duplicated Filestream Files?
Feb 8, 2015I have three FileStreams (FS1 on F drive, FS2 on H drive, FS3 on E drive) belonging to the same FileStream group of one particular database (DB) which is in Simple recovery mode in the SQL Server 2012.
FS1 contains huge number of files due to which F drive is completely full.
So, I am trying to move some of the extra files from one FileStream (FS1 on F drive) to another FileStreams (FS2 on H drive and FS3 on E drive) using command:
dbcc shrinkfile('FS1', emptyfile)
Then, I take the Full and Differential backup of the database and issue the CheckPoint and try to delete the already duplicated files from the Filestream FS1 to get some space in the F drive using command:
sp_filestream_force_garbage_collection @dbname = 'DB' , @filename = 'FS1'
But still no files get deleted and I receive the output as such:
file_name num_collected_items num_marked_for_collection_items num_unprocessed_items last_collected_lsn
DB_FS1 0 0 0 25000001749500000
how to delete these already duplicated files.

although I don't receive the error message in the KB. The report does have "New Component Output" as the 1st line in the report. I still don't see how deleting the 1st line of an already run job (the report) will affect a new run of the job.
Also, I checked the version of the Microsoft.SqlServer.MaintenancePlanTasks.dll and it is at 9.00.3043.00 (which is the SP2 Refresh) in KB 933508 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933508 ).

Move Files From Directory Based On Names On A Static List.
May 2, 2008I have a scenario where I need to move a series of files from within a directory of many files. The files follow no nameing convention and are more of less random. However the file names never change from week to week. I tried various different options in a 'file system task', no go.
Any ideas on how to move only a list of files?
or
can I load only specific files into a 'Foreach Loop container' from a certain directory. I tried delimiting file names in the file source, that did not work.
Either way can work,
Thanks

SQL 2005 Maintenance Cleanup Task Is Not Deleting Files On Remote File Share
Jan 16, 2008I have the following issue with Maintenance plan backups that work for BAK DIF and TRN to a remote server share.
When I try and remove the old files with a clean up task I get an error and the files don't get deleted.
The version is as follows
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3054.00 (X64) Mar 23 2007 18:41:50
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on
Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
The error result is as follows,
Failed-1073548784) Executing the query "EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file
0,N'\\EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'\ABCD-A1\BACKUPS\ABCD_BACKUP\ABC_DAILY\ABCD',N'trn',N'2008-01-13T12:52:49'" failed with the following error: "xp_delete_file() returned error 2, 'The
system cannot find the file specified.'". Possible failure reasons: Problems
with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set
correctly, or connection not established correctly.
The maintenance plan seems to be adding extra "" though when i enter the
code directly in a query i get same error.
Query:
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'\ABCD-A1BACKUPSABCD_BACKUPABC_DAILYABCD',N'trn',N'2008-01-13T12:52:49'
Error:
xp_delete_file() returned error 2, 'The system cannot find the file specified.'
The servers belong to the same domain and are using the same Service account which has all the necessary rights to the share and the file directory location. The backups work but i get the error on the cleanup task.
Trying to figure out how to get the Cleanup task to delete old files. The same happens for all file extensions and I have tried other locations with simpler file paths same error.

Scott
