Foreach Loop Container Foreach File Enumerator Sort Files

Apr 4, 2007



How do you sort files from the Foreach loop container?

I love this component, except I can't get it to sort by filename.

Nice to know how to sort by timestamps also.

Foreach File Enumerator - Is Absent In Foreach Loop Component

Apr 11, 2007

Hi,

I have no "Foreach File Enumerator" oprtion in the Enumerator Property of the Foreach Loop Component.

I have this enumerator in the c:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90DTSForEachEnumerators folder.

Also I check it in the GAC - it does not here. I try to execute gacutil.exe -iF ForEachFileEnumerator.dll, but it is failed with "Failure adding assembly to the cache: The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest." Seems it is not managed enumerator.



Please help me.

Also information on how to regeister unmanaged enumerators are welcome!

Using Variable Of Foreach Loop - File Enumerator

Jun 6, 2006

I have a Foreeach loop container that is looking for all the files in a specified directory. For each file in the directory I need to open the file, extract the contents, and pass the contents as a variable for a stored procedure call.

I was able to loop thru the files in the directory and see each file and store the name to a variable.

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!

Can I Register A New SSIS ForEach Loop Enumerator

Feb 20, 2008



Is there a way to register a new ForEach Enumerator within SSIS, for example ForEach Email in Exchange Inbox?

Or is the solution to create an SSIS variable and use the ForEach From Variable Enumerator? I take it the variable has to implement IEnumerable, or IEnumerable<T>.


My preference out of the two would be to register a new foreach enumerator which would take some implementation away from the developers and reduce time spent on the tasks at hand.

thanks for your help

Foreach File Enumerator, Skip File On Error.

Mar 11, 2008



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.

Hello

I have a question

How is foreach loop container - foreach ADO enumerator performace in SSIS package compares to use of cursors in stored procedures

Is there any articles comparing them

I understand a lot of factors can affect the performance, however what is expected performance for the foreach ADO enumerator loop for large dataset. What is Microsoft recommendation for that - recommended - not recommended (using large datasets - over million records)

ForEach File Enumerator Extension Bug?

Jul 5, 2006

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.

How To Fail When ForEach File Enumerator Doesn't See Files

Aug 28, 2006

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.

I have a SSIS package this set to run at a specific time each day. If there are no files for the ForEach tool to work upon...while it doesn't 'fail'...I would like to test for the condition that the enumerator was empty...so that I could send an email message reminding someone to followup and investigate.

What would be the best way to test for that condition?

ForEach Loop - Getting MD5 Hash Of File

Nov 11, 2006

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

File Metadata And The Foreach Loop Container

Jan 4, 2007

Hello,

I want to set up a Foreach loop container to loop through several flat files. I have a connection manager set up for individual flat files. The metadata for the files is all the same. They are fixed width files, and contain sixty five columns.

I didn't see a place in the container properties to configure the metadata of the files. How can a Foreach Loop Container 'know' the metadata of the flat files that I want to loop through?

Thank you for your help!

Foreach Loop Read Table Data And Write To File

Sep 21, 2007

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

Integration Services :: SSIS 2012 - Managing The Failure Of A Foreach ADO Enumerator Container

Jul 9, 2015

in a my SSIS 2012 pkg I'm using a Foreach ADO Enumerator container that reads an object variable in order to get an id value.This identifier is passed as an input parameter to an Execute SQL task to update an Oracle table: if this task fails the id is written on a SQL Server table. After the Execute SQL task execution, with success or failure, the flow go to another task in the container.

When an error occurs for the update on Oracle table, each tasks inside the container are executed but the container fails and the loop ends.I'd like to complete the entire loop respect to the identifiers present in the object variable also if the update operation on Oracle table goes in error.

Multiple Record Types In One File

May 14, 2007

I have a text file to import where there are three file types: a header which has info about who sent the file and begins with 'H', detail records that begins with D and a trailer record that begins with T and just has the record count following that. The fields are delimited by '*'. H, D and T records each contain a different number of fields.
I suspect that what I should do is to split this file into three separate files. I tried to do this with SSIS but ran into problems. If I make the output a file destination, it won't let me use that output as input for the next process. There are no arrows I can grab onto to link to the next transform.

This is my first SSIS package although I made hundreds of DTS packages a few years ago. I can't figure this out in DTS either.

This sounds like it should be an EASY thing to do.

Multiple Record Types Same File

Sep 27, 2006

A flat file I must parse has multiple record types in the same file that must be processed together. For instance, in the following example:

01TestStuff888
02TestStuff2
03TestStuff3
01TestStuff4
02TestStuff5

Each 01 record type has the records after it associated to it until the next 01 appears, so TestStuff would have TestStuff 2,3 related to it while TestStuff 4,5 belong together. In the example the 888 in the 01 record is the key to the group, but it does not appear in the following lines.

The problem is that each record type has different line formats, columns, etc, so they must be parsed differently. I have created a conditional branch on the first two characters, and written each record type out to a seperate flat file for that type, so that they can be imported again and parsed with the Flat File Source, but I am unsure how to relate them again. I tried appending the 888 to the other lines before they were written out, but I can't find a way to share the variable across the conditional split branches using a script component.

Does anyone have an idea how I could parse these files and keep the relationship intact?

Is there a way to tell the flat file wizard to use a different map based on certain characters?

Is there a way to share a variable across the different braches of a conditional split.

Strange question I know, but thanks for any help.

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?

Creating Hierarchical Flat File From Multiple Record Types

May 1, 2008

I'm using SSIS to import seven flat files (each containing a different record type) into a staging database. This part was easy.

Now I need to export the records from all seven tables into a single flat file structured in a nested hierarchy using common keys. (This format is required by the vendor for loading data into a new system).

I could use some ideas on the data transformations needed to combine all seven record types into an hierarchical record set which can then be written to my Flat File Destination. I'm currently looking at an article on SLQIS.com ("Handling Different Row Types In The Same File") which seems close to what I need, but they are importing (ref: www.sqlis.com/54.aspx ). I'm not sure if I should just reverse this for export or use something different. Any comments are appreciated.

Diagram of Record Hierarchy

typeA (parent key, ...)

typeB1 (parent key, childSet key, date, ...)

typeB2 (parent key, childSet key, ...)

typeC (parent key, childSet key, ...)
typeD (parent key, childSet key, ...)
typeE1 (parent key, childSet key, date, ...)

typeE2 (parent key, childSet key, ...)


The record types B1 through E2 form a complete set. Each set has it's own unique child-set key. There may be one or more sets for each typeA record (although it's possible that typeE records don't exist in the most recent set).

Destination File With Multiple Record Types And Sequences - Mainframe-like

Jul 20, 2007

Howdy all,



I've seen several posts about reading and writing files that have different record types with varying column metadata. My particular file has 11 record types plus several header types and looks something like:



<Header1>

<Header2>

<Detail01-#1>

<Subdetail02>

<Subdetail03>

...

<Detail01-#2>

<Subdetail02>

<Subdetail03>

...

...



Since i need to get different detail and subdetail records, i can't really use the technique of 3 dest file connection managers found in http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=87269&SiteID=1



I've tried using an exec sql to get the main detail records and then a forech ADO en umerator that would get the subdetails, but it all seems so kludgy. I'm starting to think that I should just write the bulk of the file creation code in a c# app instead of trying to smush this into SSIS. Opinions? Am I missing some trick in SSIS?



TIA,



-Peter

Multiple Wildcards In A Foreach Loop

SSIS - Handling Different Types Of Record In Same Flat File Source

May 10, 2006

Hi,

I've just started looking at SSIS and have encountered what should hopefully be a simple problem to solve. I have a pipe-separated source file that looks like this (I've added Line numbers for simplicity):

Ln 01: HDR|FEED_CODE|31-MAR-2006
Ln 02: Tom|100|Jones|ZZ1 1ZZ|USA
Ln 03: Tom|200|Singer|
Ln 04: Tom|305||Red|Porche ||Lanzarote |Apple|Carrot| | |
Ln 05: Dick|100|Van Dyke|ZZ1 1ZZ|USA
Ln 06: Dick|200|Actor|
Ln 07: Dick|305||Blue|Ford||California |Tomato | |||Beef
Ln 08: Harry|100|Houdini|ZZ1 1ZZ|GBR
Ln 09: Harry|200|Escapologist|
Ln 10: Harryk|305| |Green ||Triumph |Poland|Banana|Sprout| | |
Ln 11: TRL|9


In addition to a header and footer records, this file contains three record types for each person.

Record types are identified by the second column.

Each record type has a different number of columns:

Type 100 has 5 columns
Type 200 has 4 columns
Type 305 has 12 columns

The Row delimiter for all records is the {CR}{LF} character

I've set up a flat file input source and specified {CR}{LF} as the row delimiter for both header and data rows and the "|" character as the field delimiter.

It appears that SSIS is assuming that because the first data row has 5 columns, then everything must fit that format too. So the {CR}{LF} character that separates lines 02 and 03 is interpreted as text rather than a separation character and all remaining | field separators after 305 are interpreted as text containing in the fifth column. SSIS is also complaining that the last row is incomplete.

A bit like this (I've used tildes to indicate column separation):

Tom~100~Jones~ZZ1 1ZZ~USA
Tom~200~Singer~{CR}{LF}Tom~305||Red|Porche ||Lanzarote |Apple|Carrot| | |

I've seen one other reference to this behaviour but the response seemed to be SSIS doesn't know which columns are missing. In this scenario, we don't have missing columns, rather, we have different types of record in a single file. in DTS I would effectively parse the file once for each record type thus:

if cStr(DTSSource("Col002")) = "100" then

DTSDestination("in_Name") = trim(DTSSource("Col001"))
...

Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
else
Main = DTSTransformStat_SkipInsert
end if


...not the most efficient solution I know but the load only runs once a month so this was an acceptable workaround.

DTS was never this fussy but I'm sure this is user error rather than an SSIS limitiion. Can someone please put me straight?

Many thanks,

Greg

SSIS Hung Or Exited After A Long Foreach Loop

Sep 14, 2006

I am having some problem in running SSIS scheduled job.
The job is processing (updating and inserting) batches of data using Execute SQL Task inside Foreach loop container. But to make sure the batch complete successfully I put the "Begin Tran" Execute SQL Task and "Commit Tran" Execute SQL Task before and after the foreach loop
My workflow is like the following....
- Execute SQL Task "Begin Tran"
- ForEach Loop Container for a batch of records.
- Insert the records into the database
- End ForEach Loop
-Execute SQL Task "Commit Tran" if the above ForEach Loop complete successfully
-Execute SQL Task "Rollback Tran" if the ForEach Loop failed

Normally the insert records are around 10~200 and the job is running very fine...
But if the records are more than 1000s then sometime the job hung (I would say hung because the DTEXEC.exe can be seen inside the windows task manager.) There was no indication what so ever whether the job finished or the job failed or the job else....

Can anybody help to find the cause.....

Rgds,

SSIS Foreach Loop Stress Testing Problem.

Mar 2, 2006

I am currently working on a project which needs to load over a 1000 xml files. The files are stored across 10 subfolders. I am using a foreach loop with a file enumerator, which is configured at the top of the folder structure and traverses the subfolders. This loops through the files, load the data and then moves the file to another folder. The package executes fine for a few 100 files but then hangs; this happens after a different number of processed files each time the package is run. While trying to resolve the problem we ran performance counters and noticed that the number open handles increased significantly just about the time Dtexec looked like it had hanged and DTexec also then started taking a lot of the cpu processing time. Has one else come across similar situations?
