View 15 Replies View Relatedcreated a very basic flow in SSIS: extracted table data through ole db connection, added multicast and as end result i created a flat file destination (with .txt file) and a ole db destination.
My question is; how can i delete the .txt file before executing the flow again? Want to avoid that the .txt file has duplicated rows after a second execution of the flow. Is it possible to use scd component or is this way to complicated? A for each loop?
i need a similar solution for the data that will be transported through the ole db destination task....
Hi All SSIS experts,
Happy 2008!!!!
I am inserting data into a tab delimted text file using SSIS package.
After data insetion some extra tabs get added between columns in some rows in the text file.
Can we programmatically delete the extra tabs from the text file, if so how to use/implement the code inside the SSIS package?
Any pointer/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks & Regards,
Hi,
I am looking for a way to combine two text files into one file. I am thinking of using a batch file (DOS command ) to do it. Any suggestion please?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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,
I want to create a text file and write to text it by calling its assembly from Stored Procedure. Full Detail is given below
I write a code in class to create a text file and write text in it.
1) I creat a class in Visual Basic.Net 2005, whose code is given below:
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class WLog
Public Shared Sub LogToTextFile(ByVal LogName As String, ByVal newMessage As String)
Dim w As StreamWriter = File.AppendText(LogName)
LogIt(newMessage, w)
w.Close()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LogIt(ByVal logMessage As String, ByVal wr As StreamWriter)
wr.Write(ControlChars.CrLf & "Log Entry:")
wr.WriteLine("(0) {1}", DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(), DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString())
wr.WriteLine(" :")
wr.WriteLine(" :{0}", logMessage)
wr.WriteLine("---------------------------")
wr.Flush()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LotToEventLog(ByVal errorMessage As String)
Dim log As System.Diagnostics.EventLog = New System.Diagnostics.EventLog
log.Source = "My Application"
log.WriteEntry(errorMessage)
End Sub
End Class
2) Make & register its assembly, in SQL Server 2005.
3)Create Stored Procedure as given below:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SP_LogTextFile
(
@LogName nvarchar(255), @NewMessage nvarchar(255)
)
AS EXTERNAL NAME
[asmLog].[WriteLog.WLog].[LogToTextFile]
4) When i execute this stored procedure as
Execute SP_LogTextFile 'C:Test.txt','Message1'
5) Then i got the following error
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Procedure SP_LogTextFile, Line 0
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'SP_LogTextFile':
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:Test.txt' is denied.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHey All,
Similar to a previous post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=244646&SiteID=1), I am trying to import data into a SQL Table.
I am trying to program a small application that will import product data obtained through suppliers via CD-ROM. One supplier in particular uses Fixed width colums, and data looks like this:
Example of Data
0124015Apple Crate 32.12
0124016Bananna Box 12.56
0124017Mango Carton 15.98
0124018Seedless Watermelon 42.98
My Table would then have:
ProductID as int
Name as text
Cost as money
How would I go about extracting the data with an XML Format file? I am stumbling over how to tell it where to start picking up data for a specific column.
Is there any way that I could trim the Name column (i.e.: "Mango Carton " --> "Mango Carton")?
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've been calling SQL from my code by doing this:
Code in C# Form
SqlConnection SqlConnection = new SqlConnection(global::SQLClients.Properties.Settings.Default.ClientPhonebookConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO PhonebookTable(Name, PhoneNumber) VALUES('" + txtName.Text.ToString() + "', '" + txtPhoneNumber.Text.ToString() + "')";
cmd.Connection = SqlConnection;
SqlConnection.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlConnection.Close();
RefreshData();
I am running Visual Studio C# Express 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005.
Thanks for your time,
Hayden.
What is the easiest way to accomplish this task with SSIS?
Basically I have a stored procedure that unions multiple queries between databases. I need to be able to export this to a text file on a daily basis and add a total records: row to the end of the text file.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello Experts,
I am createing one task (user control) in SSIS. I have property grid in my GUI and 2 buttons (OK & Cancle).
PropertyGrid has Properties like SourceConnection, OutputConnection etc....right now I am able to populate Connections in list box next to Source and Output Property.
Now my question to you guys is depending on Source Connection it should read that text file associated with connection manager. After validation it should pick header (first line of text file bases on record type) and write it into new file when task is executed. I have following code for your reference. Please let me know I am going in right direction or not..
What should go here ?
->Under Class A
public override DTSExecResult Execute(Connections connections, VariableDispenser variableDispenser, IDTSComponentEvents componentEvents, IDTSLogging log, object transaction)
{
//Some code to read file and write it into new file
return DTSExecResult.Success;
}
public const string Property_Task = "CustomErrorControl";
public const string Property_SourceConnection = "SourceConnection";
public void LoadFromXML(XmlElement node, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
if (node.Name != Property_Task)
{
throw new Exception(String.Format("Invalid task element '{0}' in LoadFromXML.", node.Name));
}
else
{
try
{
_sourceConnectionId = node.Attributes.GetNamedItem(Property_SourceConnection).Value;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "LoadFromXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
}
public void SaveToXML(XmlDocument doc, IDTSInfoEvents infoEvents)
{
try
{
// // Create Task Element
XmlElement taskElement = doc.CreateElement("", Property_Task, "");
doc.AppendChild(taskElement);
// // Save source FileConnection
XmlAttribute sourcefileAttribute = doc.CreateAttribute(Property_SourceConnection);
sourcefileAttribute.Value = _sourceConnectionId;
taskElement.Attributes.Append(sourcefileAttribute);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
infoEvents.FireError(0, "SaveXML", ex.Message, "", 0);
}
}
In UI Class there is OK Click event.
private void btnOK_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
_taskHost.Properties[CustomErrorControl.Property_SourceConnection].SetValue(_taskHost, propertyGrid1.Text);
btnOK.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
}
catch (Exception ex)

Hi,
I am pulling text files in gzip format from UNIX system. I want to unzip these files and then import data from these files into database using SSIS.
Hi,
I have by mistake created a file by name abc.ndf on Primary filegroup on a database.
Now when I delete it it says can't delete because file is not empty.
I want to get rid of this file.
Any suggestion.
Our server is getting pretty full, the data has already been backed up, but it did not create additional room on the server. Can I delete the log file as long as I have backed up the items I need? We are running Microsoft SQL 2000.
Thanks for the help!
Can anyone point me to an example or tell me. How to run a job that delete's a file from a directory on a server? A have a ftp process that send's a larger flat file to my sql server every hour, which after about 4hr will full my server. I need to delete this file from its d drive location.
Thanks Reggie
Hello
We have a SQL Server 2000 database with 2 transaction log files.
The 2nd file was created when we were running out of disk space and the person creating it was not familiar with the dbcc shrink command.
I now want to get rid of the 2nd log file. I ran the following steps with no success:
DBCC SHRINKFILE ('Log_file', EMPTYFILE )
--Message: Cannot shrink log file 3 (log_file) because all logical log files are in use.
ALTER DATABASE db1 REMOVE FILE 'Log_file'
--Message: The file 'Log_file' cannot be removed because it is not empty.
There are no users or open transactions in the database. I have also tried sp_detach_db and sp_attach_single_file_db but that does not work either as the database attaches both the transaction logs back.
Please advise.
Thanks
Nina

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've inherited a procedure that performs a few transforms and writes to flat files in a working directory using a connection in connection manager.
After the manipulation, the system cleans up by deleting the working files. Works fine in development, but from the command line gives:
The process cannot access the file <filename> because it is being used by another process.".
I suspect this is because connection manager still has the file open.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have to run a DTS package to export data into a dBase file. I first have to delete the existing data within the dbase file, but I can only get it to delete the data, not the actual rows.

Thanks.
Hi,
I want to delete all files in a folder where creation date is an year older. I created a For Each Loop container to go over the whole folder and then execute the following Script Task
Dim FileArchive As Int16
Dim dteArchive As Date
Dim FilePath As String
FileArchive = CType(Dts.Variables("FileArchive").Value, Int16) ' One Year FileArchive = 365
dteArchive = DateAdd("d", -FileArchive, Now.Date)
FilePath = Dts.Variables("FilePath").Value.ToString
If File.GetCreationTime(FilePath) <= dteArchive Then
Try
File.Delete(FilePath)
Catch ex As Exception
'Do Nothing
End Try
End If
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
Is there a better approach to this? As most of the time job may have to delete 10 or 15 files but he has to read each file and then check the date if it matches the criteria and it delete.
I have to load and unload many datatabases for testing. So I wanted to quickly remove a database, its devices and respective dat files
