Get Filename Dynamically
Jul 26, 2007
Hi,
Using a ssis package I have several tasks.
A variable is also created called FileName.
There is a flat file connection called InputFileName.
initially when I designed the package, I hardcoded the pass of one of the .csv files into the path of the flatfile connection.
There is a dataflow which has flatfile source and oledb destination. These two basically pickup the file and import into the database using mapping.
So therefore the package works and data gets imported into the database.
Then I used the variable to make the filename dynamic. So I removed the hardcoded connectionstring in the InputFileName.
Is this the right thing to do to make the package dynamic? I would like to pass in any .csv filename and so the package runs.
My question is now that the connectionstring is deleted but instead placed an expression for the filename, then how does the system know which file to use?
Thanks

I have a stored procedure that (after selecting, incrementing and updating)returns the next sequential filename.I haven't been able to plug it in to the destination textfile filename in myDTS package.I know it has something to do with Dynamic Properties and I can navigate tothe property I want to set, but just can't seem to get the result of mystored procedure into the filename.I know somebody must have done this before.ThanksJoe

I am trying to dynamically set the name of a checkpoint file and I have used expressions in the package property and evaluated the following expression correctly
Expression: "C:\CheckPoints\" + "CheckPointFile_ "+ @[User:BName]" + ".xml"
Evaluates as: C:CheckpointsCheckPointFile_@[User:BName].xml
when I try to save the package, it comes up with an error saying
Error at Caller Package: the filename is not valid. the filename is a device or contains invalid characters.
Anyone know why?

Hi
I have generated a ssis package that creates a text file based on a query retrieving records from the table.
Now i want the file name to be appended with the date and time of package execution. So the filename will be something like ; Filename_MMDDYYYY.txt.
How can i do this with the help of SSIS?
Anyone having an idea would be of great help.
Regards,
Salman Shehbaz.

Hi Champs,
Scenario Configuration : VB.net 2005 Code, WebService for Executing SSIS on Server, SSIS deployed on the Database Server
Problem Description : We are developing windows applicaiton in which we call webservice which was deployed on the same server where SSIS packages are deployed.
Now from Code we are passing FilePath name in variable and execute the Package. But the SSis result says that
The file name "\computernamefol1fol2fol3fol4abc.txt" specified in the connection was not valid.
More Information:
1. Full Permission are given on this network folder.
2. Package executes successfully from SSIS development solution (BIS solution)
3. Deployed packed executes successfully from the Database Server.
4. From Development pc packege executes successfully.
5. Other packages deployed on the same server executed suucessfully with same configuration and scenario.
Only this package is not executing.
-- the only differece with this package with other is -
using ".txt" extension in Flat file connection and using VB Script task
Can any one suggest the appropirate solution for this problem...
Thanks

If you use "SELECT filename FROM sys.sysdatabases" this will return
the full path , such as "E:MSSQLdatamyData.MDF" ,
is it possible to return just the "myData.MDF" part of it?
I know that you can parse the string , but is it stored somewhere else , or is there a command that will return just the physical file name ?

Hi Guys, got a question that I'm not sure there is an answer to other than 'No Way'.
I have to export a file whose filename must include a sequence number. I have created the table to hold the seq# and the code to increment it. My problem is how do I include the seq# in the output filename. I am using the Flat File Destination tool for exporting. should I be using another tool?
Any suggestions?
Thanx,
Trudye

Does anyone know how to execute a directory listing of a file and return the file name to a variable in SQL? For instance, there's a file called c:datach20011010.txt and i execute the following:
xp_cmdshell 'dir c:datach*.txt'
or any other transact sql or procedure, how can i get the filename into a variable...all in sql?
FYI - I need to pass a filename to a process so that it can bcp the data into a temp table. But I don't know the filename at the time the process is setup/scheduled.
TIA,
Mike Nolen

Hi,
I am using a foreach loop to go through the .txt files inside a folder.
Using a variable I can pickup the filenames the loop is going through.
At present there is a sql task inside the foreach loop which takes the filename as a parameter and passes this filename to a stored procedure.
Now I would like to add one extra step before this sql task. Would like to have a dataflow with flatfile source which connects to oledb destination.
The question is:
While in the loop, how is it possible to pass the filename to the flatfile source using the FileName variable which I have created?
Please note, this is a different question to my other post.
Many Thanks

Hi,
I think I may have mis-guided some of you in my previous post.
So I thought I explain it properly this time in a new post...
Here is the description of the ssis package:
Inside the connection manager there is a connection to the sql server database and a flat file connection.
The flat file connection inside the connection manager has the expression set
i.e. ConnectionString set to @[User::FileName]
And so there is nothing inside the connectionstring property of this flatfile connection.
Inside control flow:
1)
Dataflow which contains a flat file source and an ole db destination
The flatfile source is supposed to pickup the .csv file that gets passed to the ssis package.
Then the ole db destination is where the .csv gets imported into a sql server table.
2)
Back in the control flow, there is a task that calls a stored procedure with the parameter which is set to FileName
The question is:
How does this FileName parameter gets set before it is passed to the stored procedure?
Many thanks

Hi, I want to get my SSIS package to look for a file in a named directory that has a ceratin string in the filename.
example - My file is in a folder called data and the filename is 'System_UT_INCR_BOOKINGHEADER_20080214000000.TXT' Every day the fiel name changes to reflect the current date. I need my package to search for the String "BOOKINGHEADER". I know I need to create a variable with that value but I am not sure (using the example below) how to write the code to do this.
Imports System.IO
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Public Class ScriptMain
Public Sub Main()
Try
File.Move(Dts.Variables("Source").Value.ToString, Dts.Variables("Destination").Value.ToString)
Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, "", "File Moved Succesfully", "", 0, True)
Catch ex As Exception
Dts.Events.FireError(1, "", "Source file or destinations does not exist", "", 0)
End Try
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub
End Class

I take a backupfile every night and its named like 20070911_xvall.bak.
Now I need a procedure for an automatic restore in another sql server but I have to do a check to se that the date of the backupfile is the same as actual date so it can¨t happened that an older backupfile being restored.
Is it a good way to take actual date och build up the wanted filename and how can I then check if the file exist, its stored on another computer?
Anyone who has some sample I can start with?
Thanks

Hello,
I have a question regarding the report file which is included in an email, when a subscription is created:
Is it possible to programmatically add something to the name of the created file of the subscription? I want to have one parameter of the report, which is a date, added at the end of the filename to let the clients distinguish between different report files.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I have inherited a database that has a table called "Resources" that contains a field called "FilePath". FilePath is a VarChar(100) and contains the server path and filename of an XML file on the server hard disk.
I need to join the data in the XML with rows in the "Resources" table (and other tables).
Is it possible to get a Stored Procedure to load the XML file into a temporary table?
Is loading it into a table the best way to do it - or can I join directly to the XML file somehow?
What is the best approach? (I know nothing about XML in SQL Server yet)
Thanks in advance,
Chiz.

Basically like the topic says, I need to populate a filename with data from other columns and im having a tough time doing it.
Code:
UPDATE nice_cls_calls_0027
SET vcarchivepath = 'G:Nice Storageicestorage.safeautonet.netSafe Auto Task - Logger (807101)2006_feb_1SC_807101_'start_time'_'=stop_time'_'=channel'_'=cls_call_id'.aud'
I need start_time, stop_time, channel, and cls_call_id to populate the filename. The first 2 are datetime fields in the db and no conversion is needed for them, just raw data. The remaining two are smallint and raw data is needed there also. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TY

I need to use DTS to create a dynamic destination filename based on the value of a field. I tried creating a DTS package using the wizard. It works fine if I wanted a static filename for the destination filename. I tried creating a Dynamic Properties Task by selecting Connection2/OLEDB Properties/Data Source and then using a SQL Statement to return a value for the name of the file. It doesn't seem to run the query everytime the DTS is ran. The first time I run it it names the file correctly but after that it keeps naming the file the old value from the SQL statement. Any idea what I need to do to fix this?

The first part prodserverexport always remains the same. A new folder is created prodserverexport 20071001, prodserverexport 200710012 etc each time the file is dropped . I want to extract only the part after that namely 20071001-200001-e430f8fd-PREC272.wma and like wise and dump it into a table.

I already posted this question in the Wrong Forum.
However I was wondering if it is possible to create a variable that holds the filename as an expression. I am using a For each loop to pick up files and i want to insert the 'Filename' as a colum so that i can differentiate among the rows in my destination Table.
Using the 'Derived Colum' in DTS I can link the colum to the variable. However i do not know how to create the variable which will store the filename for each file....
Any Clues...
Would really appreciate the help.....
