Hi,
Please can you let me know which of the following 2 is a better method to deploy SSIS packages
File System deplyment OR SQL Server deployment
What are the advantages of one over the other?
Thanks,

Hallo,
i created a solution that is working fine in development. I would now like to deploy it on an other server.
We have choosen for a file system -based deployment because this seems to require the least specialized SQL Server-knowledge from the user who will be utilizing this system. I changed the properties of the solution to
CreateDeploymentUtility: true
DeploymentOutputPath : binDeployment
Subsequently I build the solution and in the binDeployment-folder dtsx-files have been created.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do next to deploy them on an other machine?
Do I need to deploy a complete version of SQL SERVER 2005 Devenv included or is there a lighter installation possible that only contains what I need to run the packages?
Can I shedule the packages to run at a specified moment without DTultil coming up?
When you once found an answer to these many questions i would be most gratefull if you woulkd let me know.
Kind regards,
Paul
I have a doubt in file system deployment in ssis. I read msdn articles like "MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml" will decide the default folder for ssis packages those are deployed to "File System".Â
I have installed SQL server 2012 of 64 bit in my system. My "MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml" file was reside in the path"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110DTSBinn". This means when we try to deploy my packages to File System default path should come like "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110DTSPackages".Â
But in my case path was coming like "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server100DTSPackages" even though my "MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml" reside in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110DTSBinn". i can't able to see my packages in SSMS when i connected to integration services.
We deployed the ssis package to SQL server and now trying to configure but it only allow use to change environmental variables there is no option to browse and select XML configuration file. Does this mean when you  are using SQL server deployment mode u can only use environmental variable ?

We are setting up a new box and when we deploy the cube we are getting the error "File system error: The following error occured during a file operation: Access is denied. ."
We are part of an AD group that is a member of the administrators group on the box, and it looks like we have rights to the data directory where AS deploys cube data to. The account that AS service runs as is also an administrator on the box. It is a domain account. The cube does have one assembly - might that be the problem? We have set up a few boxes in the past without problems - we didn't have control over how this box was setup, so obviously we are missing a permission. If anyone has any insights / ideas, I'm all ears.
Thanks!

I am doing some ssis package development in my local machine. I have a requirement to send email the output.
I am developing in my local machine. Is it possible to configure SMTP configuration in my local system to receive the email in Gmail?
if yes, what all are the steps to be followed.
I'm copying files to a folder with the naming convention as follows in the source folder:
CM_ABC_MY_TEST.txt
In the destination folder, this filename needs to appear as:
CM_XYZ_MY_TEST.txt
In my File System Task, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need an expression with a replace, substring, etc. But am having a hard time nailing down the exact syntax.
Does anyone know how to do this using variables? Everytime I try it, I get the
Error: Failed to lock variable for read access with error 0xc00100001.
I also tried it writing a script and still the same error. If I hard code the values into the variables it works fine but I will be running this everday so that it will pull in the current date along with the filename. So the value of the variables will change everyday. Here is my expression:
@[User::Variable] +(DT_WSTR,4) YEAR( GETDATE() )+"0"+(DT_WSTR,2) MONTH( GETDATE() ) + (DT_WSTR,2) DAY( GETDATE() )
The result:
C:Documents and SettingsmroushDesktopOSU20060818
the 20060818 part will change everyday ie.(tomorrow will be 20060819, next day 20060820 and so on.)
I am having an issue with the File System Task.
I was wondering if there is a way to 'Move File' with the File System Task inside of a For Each Loop container but to dynamically set the Destination path variable.
Currently, this is what I have:
FileDestinationPath variable - set to C:TestFiles
FileSourcePath variable - set to C:TestFiles
FileNameAndLocation variable - set to blank
For Each Loop Container €“ Iterates through a folder C:TestFiles that has .txt files in it with dates in the file name. Ex: Test_09142006.txt. Sets the file path (fully qualified) to the Variable Mapping FileNameAndLocation.
Script Task (within For Each Loop, first step) €“ Sets the FileDestinationPath to the correct dated folder within C:TestFiles. For example, if the text files I want to move are for the 14th of September, it takes FileDestinationPath and appends the date folder to the end of it. The text files have a date in the file name (test_09142006.txt) and I am picking this apart (from FileNameAndLocation in the For Each Loop) to get the folder date. (dts.Variables(€œUser::FileDestinationPath€?).Value = dts.Variables(€œUser::FileDestinationPath€?).Value & €œ€? Month & €œ_€? & Day & €œ_€? & Year & €œ€?) which gives me €œC:TestFiles 9_14_2006€?.
File System Task (within For Each Loop, second step) €“ This is where the action is supposed to occur. I want it to take the FileDestinationPath and move the FileNameAndLocation file (from the For Loop) into this folder for each run.
Now as for my problem. I want this package to run everyday but it has to set the FileDestinationPath variable dynamically according to that day€™s date. Basically, how do I get this to work since I can€™t hard code the destination path variable from the start? I have the DestinationVariable on the File System Task set to the FileDestinationPath variable, after the script task builds it. However, using FileNameAndLocation as the SourceVariable on my File System Task tells me that the €œVariable €œFileNameAndLocation€? is used as a source or destination and is empty.€?
Let me know if I need to clarify further€¦...I may be missing something very simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am able to run SSIS packages as SQL Server Agent jobs with a Control Flow items "File system task", if I move a file (test.txt) from a drive (c on the server (where SQL Agent jobs run) to a subdirectory on the same drive. But, if I try to move a file on a network drive, the package fail.
What I can do to solve this issue.
Bye!

Historically 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.
I have created a File System task which is contained in a Foreach Loop Container. I have .bak files that are populating a directory from a maintenance backup plan.
There is a point where I need to delete the .bak file's after I've zipped them all up.
How do I set the SourceVariable to read through the directory and pick up just the .bak file's in the directory to delete.
Hi
This should be incredibly simple and easy, but I can't find any examples of how to do this.
I just want to make a File System Task move a file, and have the destination be filename + date and time. For example \serversharefilename02072007.txt
What syntax do I use in a variable to make this work?
Thanks
Hello
I want to move and rename a file and embed the date/time into it, so that each time the package runs a new file is created. For example MyFile_20060712_150000.doc.
Can someone give me a hint how to do this with the File Systen Task SSIS Control Flow Item?
Thanks for an early reply

Hi All,
I have a source files folder where the files generated everyday.
My goal is pick the latest file and copy this single file to another folder.
I used the Foreach loop container and got the latest file and stored the file name to a varible i.e. LatestFile
Then i want to use the File System Task to copy this to the destination.
On the beginning, I could not setup the Latestfile since I don't its name then, so when I setup the Source Connection property of the File system task, it is not allowed to leave the SourceVarible as blank!
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Micor
Could someone please instruct me on how to use the File System Task Editor to rename a file? I place control on control flow tab, change the operation to rename, from there I am not sure what to do.

I'm just learning 2005, so apologies in advance for the newb questions.
I am facing the following situation: Each day I have to upload an assortment of .csv files with variable names (eg. FileOneYYYYMMDD.csv, FileTwoYYYYMMDD.csv, etc.) to an FTP site, from the following directory structure:
Directory1
--- SubDirectoryA
--- SubDirectoryB
--- SubDirectoryC
I have accomplished this by setting up a package with three sequence containers (one for each subdirectory), each of which holds a Foreach loop (with a file enumerator configured as *.csv), each of which holds an FTP Task. This may not be the best way to do it, but it works. But if there's a better way I'd like to know!
Anyway, the wall I've run into is trying to move the .csv files to an archive directory after they've been uploaded. The wildcard variable doesn't seem to work with the File System Task, so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to move a bunch of variably named .csv files at different depths of a directory structure to an archive directory.
I've searched but can't seem to find a solution.
I have the following directories
\servershare
\serversharearchvie
I have a for each file loop and inside it a data flow that pulls from one of the flat files in the directory and then a file system task. If I choose the "Move File" option in the file system task to move the file to the archive directory, it fails with an access denied message. The access denied message occurs after a message saying file was successfully deleted. I am running this from BIDS right now and my local user can write delete etc in both the above directories. However, if I do a "copy file" in the file system task it seems to work. I think what is happening is it is deleting the file first and then trying to move it, but it no longer exists because it has been deleted--is this possible? Is this a bug of some sort?
For now I am going to workaround by putting in another file system task that deletes the files after they were copied and see how that goes, but would prefer just to do the "move" option.
Thanks,
Kayda
I'm having trouble working this out in SSIS. I am trying to use a File System task to rename a file using an expression so that file.zip will be renamed to filemmyy.zip at the end of every month (for instance this month would be file0506.zip).
I am using the destination expression variable. But I'm not sure what to put for DestinationConnection. It seems to want a file name, but the file name is going to be variable, so I'm not sure what to put.
Any ideas?
Hi there,
Can some one tell me how to rename the file Dynamically using file system Task.
I could able to rename the file and couldnt do it dynamical renaming.
Please let me know if anyone have an idea.
Thanks and Best Regards
Hi All,
I am having a problem using the file system task, what I am trying to achieve is to move a file after it has been processed . I am using a For each loop container to process bunch of files but I want to remove the files that have been processed after every loop.To achieve this I added a File System Task after my data flow task and was using the same variable used in the for each loop container as my source variable but the package is not being validated and is gives the following error
"variable used as the source or the destination is empty"
Appreciate your help
Thanks
I have a File System Task that uses variables to resolve the destination and source paths of a document. When I select the 'copyfile' operation...the document is copied from the source to the destination without error.
However when I change the property from 'copyfile' to 'movefile' I get an error and the document is not moved.
The source and destination variables contain a valid file path name since the copy commmand is working as expected. However when I alter the properties of the File System task to move the document. I get the following error:
Could not find a part of the path 'G:CommonInformation SystemsDropFilesrtNRT_ConfirmationOrder Confirmation Report_11062006.xlsOrder Confirmation Report_11062006.xls
It seems a little nonsensical since the document file paths are valid when performing a copy. For some reason the error log is showing that that the file path is the document name "Order Confirmation Report_11062006.xls" and adding it twice to the the directory path called "'G:CommonInformation SystemsDropFilesrtNRT_Confirmation" as you can see in the above error message.
To replicate the 'move' action...I added an extra File System Task that deletes the document once the copy has been performed. I would like some insight into why this doesn't seem to work.
Thank you.

I need to move files from one location to another location and rename the file using File System Task in SSIS..
There are curent file and archived files in the folder ( C:donwload)
and i need to grap only current file ( i.e Zipcode062407) and move to C:staging folder and rename it to currentzipcode.txt
how can i grap only current file and move it to the different folder and rename the file using File System Task in SSIS?
Is there a more clever way of doing this?
Currently I have to download a .gz file, uncompress and place it on a share with the current day's name (YYYYMMDD.txt).
This is how I'm doing this:
1 - FTP Task Manager to download file using expressions.
2 - Unzip file using a .bat file (Using 7zip). The uncompressed version of the file looks something like deedyyyy-mmddXXXXX.txt, where XXXXX is a bunch of numbers and letters that always changes, file version stamp from the vendor.
3 - Since I never know how the file is going to be called when I unzip it, I have to kick off another bat file to rename deedyyyy-mmddXXXXX.txt (*.txt) to 1.txt, then rename 1.txt to YYYYMMDD.txt, which is what I need for my ETL process.
4 - Archive zip file to another share
5 -Move YYYYMMDD.txt to another folder, so the ETL process can use it.
Basically, I'm not 100% sure about step 3, I'm renaming the files too many times and relying on bat files to do the job.
How would you guys handle such scenario? I'm not being able to use wildcards on File System Task.
I'm trying to realize a file system task that rename files from a
foreach loop container. So that means the task have a variable in the
source connection. This variable got the value (as an expression) of
"c:\.....\"+@[User::ForeachloopVar].
But an error message appears when i run it.The message is
File System Task: An error occurred with the following error message:
"The given path's format is not supported."
When i don´t use the variable in the source connection it works fine.
Anyone knows what might be the problem?
Thanks.
I am using file system task for deletion of text file from a specified folder.
but i want that one text file with name ="ssis.txt" and "ssrs.txt "should not get delete.
Is there any option or any expression that we can set and avoide the deletion of ssis.txt and ssrs.txt and still delete all the remaining all text file from a folder.
Please suggest any method or expression by example.
I'm having an issue with a file system task & I'm not sure whether it is user error on my part or a bug. I'm using a SQL Task to create a transaction log backup & I'm saving the name of the file in a result set which I then am mapping to a package level user variable. After that runs I'm trying to copy this .BAK file to another folder using the file system task. I'm setting the following properties on the file system task.
Isdestinationpathvariable: False
Then I have entered the static directory for the file move.
Operation: Tried it with both copy file & move file.
Issourcepathvariable: True
Sourceconnection: User::File_name
After setting this I immediately get a validation warning telling me the source directory cannot be empty. If I try to run it, it fails. The weird thing is that if I set up a connection manager to a flat file & pass my user variable in as the connection string to this connection. Then set the Issourcepathvariable to false & the Sourceconnection to this connection manager it works.
I also have gotten it to work by substituting an ftp task in place of the file system task. The ftp task has no problem when I set the Islocalpathvariable to true & then pass my variable to Localvariable property. This is why I believe there is some sort of issue with the file system task. Has anyone seen this before? Is there some sort of problem with the way I'm setting it up?
Thank you
Hello,
I am currently just starting to learn SSIS and I have a question on creating a directory using the File System Task.
Would I be able to create a directory where the directory name is generated and stored in a SSIS variable?
Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance for the assistance.

Hi,
I am using the 'File System Task ' to create a directory structure (e.g ..DB; ..DBLOG; ..DBBACKUP; )
I set following properties for the single tasks: UseDirectoryIfExists = True; Operation = Create Directory;
The task works fine before installing SP1 on the server. Now it creates an ERROR if the directory already exists and it is not empty.
SSIS package "testcreatedirectory.dtsx" starting.
Warning: 0xC002915A at Create DB Directory, File System Task: The Directory already exists.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Create DB Directory, File System Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Das Verzeichnis ist nicht leer.". (The Directory is not empty.)
Task failed: Create DB Directory
Warning: 0x80019002 at Create Directorys: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
Warning: 0x80019002 at testcreatedirectory: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
SSIS package "testcreatedirectory.dtsx" finished: Failure.
Does anyone know if this is a known bug in SP1 or maybe its a feature and if there already exists a solution (maybe I have to set additional properties I have not discovered as yet).
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am trying to transfer all the data from Excel to SQL Server using the Script Task (since I got some issue with the Data Flow -- that is a different story, let us come to this error), and after it got transferred I am deleting the source file using File System Task.
[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The process cannot access the file 'C:PrakashTestFilesNames.xls' because it is being used by another process."
The problem here is before transfer the data from Excel to SQL Server in the Script Task, the File System Task is getting executed, that is why it says that "it is being used by another process" like that.
I already set the TransactionOption as "Success" only for all the Tasks, but I don't know why the second task is getting executed before the first task completed his job.
If anyone have solution to this, pls let me know in detail ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Prakash Srinivasan
Wanting to use File System Task in SSIS to move files from
one location to another for archiving. I can't seem to figure out how to use a
wild card for the file name. It seems that I must specify the actual file name
which is a problem because only the first 4 letters in the file name remain a
constant.
Does anyone know how to use a wild card or a way to work
this in?
