MS SQL Server :: ForEach File In Folder - Missing From Dropdown List

Can I Use The Foreach Loop To Obtain The Sub Folder Names Within A Folder?
I have a set of folders with the following structure:

MainFolder

        1999

                SpreadsheetA.xls

                SpreadsheetB.xls

                SpreadsheetC.xls

        2000

                SpreadsheetA.xls

                SpreadsheetB.xls

                SpreadsheetC.xls

etc.

Is there a way that I can use the foreach loop container to loop the sub folders? My plan was to get the folder name and path into a variable, use this to build the connection string for each file in this folder, carry out the upload for that folder, then move onto the next folder and do the same thing, but I cannot see a way to do this.

Thanks,

Sam

To List Ssis Packages Stored In File Folder
Hi,
newbie to sql2005. I am trying to write a VB.NET program to list all ssis packages we have stored in a file folder (not in MSDB) where both SqlServer and ssis servers are located. These packages currently running on daily basis by automated jobs with no problem.

I have found the following link on the web that includes VB.Net program. If you scroll down under Example (SSIS Package Store) , you'll see a VB.NET program that I am trying to get it to work for me but keep getting error message like "Cannot find folder......"

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms403343.aspx

My goal is to:
1.      List all ssis packages stored in the file systems (.dstx)
2.      List DB source and distination providers(tables in/out) in a ssis package
3.      List properties for DB providers
4.      List FlatFile & Excel file provider properties in a ssis package.
My assumption, but not sure, is that I may need to register this file folder (where packages are located) to the SqlServer if that is not done already. Any command or sys table in Sql2005 to figure this out?

I would appreciate any help on this in advance.
Thank You.

How To Populate Table From Dropdown List?
Hi,I have table (tbl_a) that get it values form three Dropdown List and the PK of this table is FK in different table(tbl_b).Since tbl_a get its values from three Dropdown List the number of rows in this table is limited to the number of combinations the three Dropdown List is offer (in any case the number of raws in that table will be final).Assuming tbl_a and tbl_b are both empty.
The problem is that if i want to insert row to tbl_b i have to check first if there is a row that holds the values (or combination of values) i am getting from the Dropdown List in tbl_a .Then, if such row is exist i have to get the PK of that raw and insert it to tbl_b (as FK),if such row does not exist, i have to insert it and then get the PK of this row and insert it to tbl_b (as FK).
In the end, tbl_a will have all the combination the three Dropdown List can offer so checking if raw exist in this table will not be necessary.
In my opinion this is not effective way to do that.Can someone offer me better way to do it?
Thanks

Parameter DropDown List Grayed-out

I am building a report with several search parameters; three of which are dropdown boxes each populated by a data set. I wanted something more user-friendly than the default "(Null)" in the dropdown, so for each data set, it returns a result set UNIONed with " N/A" to show up first as the default.

For some reason, when the report loads, the first dropdown populates just fine and does indeed have the default value " N/A" but the other two dropdowns are grayed-out. Until you change the first dropdown (to anything, apparently it doesn't matter what you change it to) the other two stay grayed-out. When the first is changed, the other two are populated and default to the desired " N/A" default value.

Why would it do this, when it didn't do it before; i.e. when the default for all of them was simply null. The dropdowns are not dependent on each other; they don't depend on other parameters for their values. Any help would be appreciated.

Special Characters In A Dropdown List
I have a web form that needs to be bilingual. It contains several dropdown lists. The "text" and "value" for each item in the dropdown list is retrieved from a database. The logic reads the database and then populates the various dropdowns with logic such as:

dim newItem as new ListItem(textString, valueString)

theDropDown.items.add(newItem)

The problem that I am having occurs when the textString needs to contains special characters such as accented vowels or an "n" with a tilde. I have tried populating the database with HTML-formatted strings such as "Avión", hoping that this would display "Avion" with an accute accent over the "o". Unfortunately it displays "Avión".

How do I get dynamically-created dropdowns to display special characters? If the answer is to simply store the special characters directly in the database, then the question becomes how do I get the special characters into the database? I tried to figure out how to write a T-SQL command such as

update tablex set SpanishName = 'Avion' where id=999

but I can't figure out the syntax to insert an accented 'o' into the string.

Thanks.

Firefox In Mac Fails To Render Scrollbar In The Multi-value Parameter Dropdown List Generated By ReportViewer.
Our clients working with the Firefox browser on a Mac are unable to use the Multi-Value parameter drop down lists that the Report Viewer control generates. Of course I realize that the multi-select dropdown lists are not really dropdown option lists using the standard HTML select tag, but are rather tables within div tags with cells that contain spans, inputs, and labels.

Originally the report viewer displayed these lists in the wrong position within Firefox on any platform (Mac or PC). Furthermore, there were other visibility problems with those lists that made it virtually impossible to select a checkbox within the list. Fortunately, Microsoft fixed this problem with the latest version of Report Viewer, which we downloaded from the following link:
http://207.46.19.190/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cc96c246-61e5-4d9e-bb5f-416d75a1b9ef&displaylang=en

So currently we have SQL Reporting Services Report Viewer 9.0.21022.8 installed on our web server. And the dropdown lists do appear as expected, and they work properly in Firefox on a PC.

But, when the control is rendered in Firefox on a Mac, the list is not scrollable. The scroll bar that should appear on the right-hand side of the dropdown list, which would enable users to select values toward the bottom of the list, does not appear. That scrollbar is missing in Firefox.

This is likely related to a Firefox rendering issue with the overflow:auto style. There are numerous entries on the web that indicate Firefox for Mac has a problem with overflow:auto. For example:
http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-96958.html
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread44144.html
http://iamthewalr.us/blog/2007/04/20/firefox-on-the-mac/#comment-2321
http://www.errorforum.com/mozilla-firefox-error/3503-will-float-mac-firefox-scrollbars-floating-pop-up-windows.html
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&id=187435

That being the case, it seems that there should be some workaround to address this, either via a style or through some alternate control. Or perhaps there is a property that we can apply to the ReportViewer control that I'm unaware of which addresses this.

If you know of a workaround, or can suggest an alternate approach that we could implement quickly, please respond. Thanks.

In SSMS
Under the Management folder there is no "Maintenance Plans" folder.
There IS a "Maintenance Plans" folder under the Legacy Folder.

Foreach File Enumerator, Skip File On Error.

Hi,
I'm struck with a small issue.. would be great if somebody can help me out. Here is te scenario

1. There would be more than one CSV files in INPUT folder.
2. I'm using a Foreach Loop file enumerator to loop thru the files and load the data into database.
3. If loading is successful the file need to be moved to ARCHIVE folder and next file needs to be picked up for loading
4. In case if there is an error in loading the file has to be moved into ERROR folder, Error description should be logged to error log text file and next file needs to be picked up for loading.

I don't think increasing max error count is an option as I don't know how many no. of input files are available as it depends upon the feed.

What is the best way to go.

SQL 2005 Return A List Of Missing Rows By Date?
Hi,

I have written a reporting application which has a SQL2005 backend. An import routine into SQL, written by a 3rd party, frequently fails. The main problems are missing rows in certain tables.

I am going to write an SP that will accepts a from and to date. I then want to search for rows of type X between those dates that do not exist so we then know between a date range, we have no data for these XYZ days.

I have this working by returning all rows between the dates into a dataset, sorted by date, and then running through the rows and testing if the next rows date is the next expected date. This works but I think is a very poor solution. This is all done on the client in C#.

I want to learn and implement the most efficent way of doing this. My only solution in a SP was to make a temporary table of all dates between the date range for row type X and then do a right outer join against the data table, returning all rows which are missing.

Something like this:

SELECT twmd.date
FROM #temp_table_with_all_dates ttwad
RIGHT OUTER JOIN table_with_missing_date twmd
ON ttwad.date = twmd.date
WHERE twmd.date IS NULL

Would this be a good, efficent solution, or should I just stick to my processing of a dataset in C#?

Many thanks in advance,
CB

Replication Error: Agent Message Code 20149. The File 'snapshot.cab' In Folder ... Is Not A Valid Cabinet File
Hi All,

SQL Server 2000. Microsoft SQL Server Distribution Agent 8.00.2039

I have a replication setup between two remote SQL Server 2000 servers. The snapshot gets generated and compressed on the Publisher server and the Subscriber pulls the data.

To debug the problem, I setup my agent parameters as

-Publisher SCDC2EPMSION -PublisherDB [ION_Data] -Publication [CDC2_ION_Data_Pub] -Distributor [SCDC2EPMSION] -SubscriptionType 2 -Subscriber [SCDCREPORTSREPORT] -SubscriberSecurityMode 1 -SubscriberDB [CDC2_DATA] -Output D:MSSQLMSSQL$REPORTREPLDATAREPLICATION_LOGSCDC2_DATA.txt -Outputverboselevel 1

I get the following error message in the distribution agent's log file.

Agent message code 20149. The file 'snapshot.cab' in folder '\scdc2epmssql_snapshotuncSCDC2EPMS$ION_ION_Data_CDC2_ION_Data_Pub20070828001505' is not a valid cabinet file

The funny thing is that when started the synchronization again, it finished successfully off the same snapshot file, which it gave error for.

Has anybody encountered this error message before? Could you comment on it please?

Thanks in advance,

ForEach Loop - Getting MD5 Hash Of File
Hi Guys,

I'm importing logs from multiple servers from CSV format into a table. Inside the loop the 1st thing I do is insert the FileName into a table to ensure that I never process the same file twice.

The problem is that multiple servers produce the same filename, so if server A produces Log20061110.csv - when I import the log from server B ( also called Log20061110.csv ) into the table, it of course runs into a problem.

If there was some way for me to get an MD5 Hash of the file as a variable that would be solve my problem.

Does anyone know how I could accomplish that?

Thanks

ForEach File Enumerator Extension Bug?
I set up a basic ForEach enumerator loop and specified files of type *.sql.

In the directory, I had some files I needed to keep but didn't want the package to touch, so I changed the extension to *.sqlo. Much to my dismay, the ForEach loop picked up those files. (Though it did skip the *.xml and *.bat and a few other types...)

Sounds like a bug to me.

ForEach Loop File Locks
I vaguely remember a post a few weeks back about people having file
locks using a ForEach container looping over a directory.

I'm currently working on a package that loops through a directory and
then performs multiple dataflows/operations inside the for loop and

Here is the basic flow

For Each srcF in Dir

    Build srcF, tempF, dstF variables, basically filename variables (Script Task)

    Parse srcF and output tempF (Data flow task using
Flat File Source, Derived Columns, and Flat File Destination)

    Create dstF, write header, and copy contents of
tempF into dstF (Script Task using StreamWriter and StreamReader)

Next

The reason I need to use the script task to create the final file is
because I need to output a multi-line header to the top of the file.

The problem is that occasionally the Create dstF Script Task fails
because tempF is in use, almost like the Script Task is executing prior
to the Flat File Destination closing it's handle to the file.

Have other people run across this?

I was able to use an XML task to open one file via a file connection that connects to a specified file and store the contents in a variable and then execute the SQL task using the variable.

What I am unable to figure out is how to put the two processes together and get the XML task to open the file by using the variable that contains the filename. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

How To Fail When ForEach File Enumerator Doesn't See Files
I have a ForEach file enumerator that executes a data flow for every source file in a specified directory. If there are no files in the directory, the package executes with a result code of 0.

I need the package to fail if there aren't any files found in the specified load directory. Is there a simple way to do this with the SSIS component, or will I have to script the entire file enumeration process inside script tasks to handle this requirement?

Thanks in advance for any assistance with this question. Please post replies to this forum.

ForEach File Enumeration With Bulk Insert Problem
OK, a new package, with a Foreach container enumerating CSV files in a directory.

I create the container pointing it at the directory and retrieving the fully qualified name, and create a variable (called 'CSVFiles') with a package scope, but no value.

Inside the container is a bulk insert task. The destination db/table is set, and the input flat file connection manager for the CSV files is defined with the connection string set to the variable created above.

As it iterates through the files, the variable is correctly set to the next file in the directory (I put a message box in the stream to display the file name/variable). It resembles 'C: empLocation1.csv'.

But when it gets to the bulk insert, I get this error message:

[Bulk Insert Task] Error: The specified connection "CSVFiles" is either not valid, or points to an invalid object. To continue, specify a valid connection.

What's going on here? Can I not use a bulk insert task in the container? Or some other parameter needs to be set?

OK So How Do You Start An SSIS Package With A ForEach And A WMI File Watch Task?
Can't an SSIS package run "in the background", so to speak, without having either the cmd.exe or dtexecui windows open while executing? I'd obviously rather not have to have a window open when the thing is running right?

Foreach Loop Read Table Data And Write To File
Hi,

I want to do the following with a ssis package:

INPUT:
A table contains 2 columns with data i need. column A=Filename and column B=FileContent

PROCESS:
I need to loop through ea record in the table and retrieve columns A and B. Then for ea column i need to write the Content hold in column B into File hold in column A.

I so far found out, that i need a Execute SQL Task in Control Flow querying the table and get columns A and B into 2 variables, plus a 3rd var holding the object. Then the output goes into a Foreach Loop Container. From this point i don't know how to continue. I tried to put a Data Flow Task inside the Foreach Loop, but couldn't find out how i now get the 2 variables to the Data Flow Task and use them to for the file to be written and the content to be placed in the file.

Is there any example similiar to that so i could learn how to start on that?

Thanks
Danny
