Integration Services :: For Each Loop To Import Files With Missing Columns
Aug 17, 2015
I have to load on SS2012 hundeds of excel files produced by an application over the last five years, during time few columns have been added to the initial set.I created on SS2012 a table to match with the full set of columns and want to load all the files inside the table leaving the missing cells to NULL. I think SSIS can do the job but every trial failed do far.
I use a ForEach Loop Container in a ssis Package. The package has to look up in the directory 'f:ackups' for backupfiles and copy them into another folder.In my development environment it works fine. But if I run it on the SQL-Server with the SQL-Server Agent, the package logs always that the folder ist empty.Unfortunately the message is always 'empty folder' even if I define 'f:labla' as folder that actually not exists!
As filespecification I tried both *.* and *.bak .My assumption is, that the SQL-Server agent has not enough rights for that folder. But on the other side the agent is able to create backup-files in this folder.The SQL-Server Agent works under netservice control.
I have a requirement to load multiple flat files in target table .
I have created the package which used to load files into target table using For each loop container.
But now requirement has been changed now I have to take only those files from table where status="Success" and max JobId. By the query I am to get those records which need to load into table.
Below query I am using to get the files which need to load.
select [JobLogKey],[SrcNm],[DestNm] FROM [ConfigRep].[dbo].[JobLog] Where [JobId]= (Select Max(cast([JobId] as Int)) Jobid FROM [ConfigRep].[dbo].[JobLog] Where [JobStat]='Success')
I have to load using above 2 files which are under SrcNm. I have created one variable called FileToLoad as Object and mapping to result set of above query. I have create JobId,SrcNm and DestNm variable to catch the record at every loop. I have created 2 For each Loop container
Below screen shot of outer Foreach loop. Till here Its working fine. Inner for each loop container not executing any task under that. How to get it done.
Client uses an Amazon S3 bucket which they load flats files to . They also expect files to be delivered there to.So at the minute I have an SSIS package (SQL2012 ) which I use to generate some files but then have to manually import the files to the S3 bucket as well as export others.Now Mike Yin ( For SQL2008R2 ) mentioned that you need to obtain PostgreSQL ODBC driver so that you can use the .Net ProvidersOdbc Data Provider for ADO.NET Source component to connect to the Amazon cloud storage. After that, you can use a OLE DB Destination to load the data to SQL Server database.
Installed both 32 and 64bit 9.03. New connection Manager ADO.NET - New then drop the provider down to ODBC.Dataprovider.Then what ? Do I put the S3 bucket address within the use connection string ? Is there and example ? Why do I need the PostgreSQL ODBC as Im not connecting to a database just a S3 Bucket?
I currently have a directory of csv import files, all of which have the same data structure but different header information.
For example:
File 1 This is header info. This is header info. This is header info. ID,Name, DOB, etc…
File 2 This is header info. This is header info. This is header info. This is header info. This is header info. ID,Name, DOB, etc…
The data starts with the column title row, ie ID,Name, DOB.What I need to happen is process that removes all the header rows up to the title row so that all import file structures will be the same.
I was thinking of using a ForEach Loop container that will run a script on each of the files to remove the header.
In order to update an Oracle table target from a SQL Server table source I need to use a Foreach Loop Container, so I can loop on the rows of the SQL Server table source. This source table has two columns: the old identifier to update and the new identifier to apply. I must use the value of the old identifier to filter the Oracle rows to update, while the new identifier is the new value to assign to the filtered old identifier.
I already know how to use the Foreach Loop Container when it is necessary to loop on an unique column of a table/view (using an object variable, using a Foreach ADO enumerator, etc.), but I need to loop on two columns.
I'm trying to use the Import/Export Wizard as I used to, as a handy tool to figure out what a series of T-SQL statements (in an SSIS package) is doing - or, if I'm lucky, what on earth the original dev intended them to do.
Version: SQL 2014 64-bit running on Win 7 64-bit
The code is pretty dreadful:
SELECT DISTINCT on one set of column names, join this set to another table but not on exactly the same set of column names, embedded (SELECT MAX(bla) FROM SameTable WHERE [match to outer set on another set of columns] GROUP BY [hey, yet another set of columns!]) inside the SELECT column list... and it all goes to a nasty #Tmp, which is then abused with further bad code further down.
Imp/Exp is always handy to quickly get the intermediate results into an auto-created real table, so I can figure out exactly what the effect of this is. I use it to export from the database back to the same database, but to a persisted table.
This time (first time with SQL2014) it's not working. The source is "write a query" (paste the actual query). The destination I set to a new table. The auto-generation of the new table creates every column as type date. Not surprisingly, this doesn't work, as the original data is mostly not of date time.
I want to load flat files into a single table. But the flat files can have variable number of columns upto a maximum of 10 columns. The table in my database has 10 columns in it. So in case if I load a flat file having 6 columns then rest of the columns in the table will have nulls. I don't want to use script task for this as I am not good in writing C#code.
I have a requirement where in i have around 15 different flat files , filenames are fixed but folder path can be changed(i think i should use a variable for folder path). These 15 files data should go to their respective tables in the database.
Whether I need to create separate data flow task for each file or separate package? In addition to these, example : while importing product data into product table, if product ID already exists, we need to ignore it and upload only the new records.
I am trying to import an xlsx spreadsheet into a sql 2008 r2 database using the SSMS Import Wizard. When pointed to the spreadsheet ("choose a data source") the Import Wizard returns this error:
"The operation could not be completed" The Microsoft ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine (System.Data)
How can I address that issue? (e.g. Where is this provider and how do I install it?)
I'm new to SSIS, and trying to automate data imports from text files. The text files I'm importing always contain a fixed set of columns, or a subset of those columns. If I include a subset of columns in the import file (and exclude others), the data doesn't import...I assume because the actual file doesn't include every column defined in the flat file source object?
Is it possible to accomplish this without dynamically selecting the columns, as indicated here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms136020.aspx
I have a simple FOR EACH loop who's task is to go to a folder, find all .zip files and then extract them to a directory of my choosing. I only want this step to extract files in a particular (root) directory.
What is happening is after the step extracts the main file to the specified output directory, it then goes to the next directory and extracts the files in THAT directory - even though I do NOT have "traverse subfolders" selected.
What is going on here? This has never happened before - at least when I was developing these packages with SQL 2008 R2...
I am using Reporting Services to create reports on an Access database. I am using the OLEDB provider to connect to the Access 2000 database file. Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0. When I try and establish a connection to one of the queries in my database, I get the error message below. I had copied the access database from a previous version in which the Import Specification below was used. The import specification is no longer necessary. How can I get Reporting Services to not look for this text file specification?
TITLE: Microsoft Report Designer ------------------------------
An error occurred while executing the query. The text file specification 'CEU06_FULL_REG_INFO Import Specification' does not exist. You cannot import, export, or link using the specification.

When I install SQL server 2005 and select the option to have Integration Services installed, I cannot see the templates in VS 2005. Is there a way to tell if they have been installed on the harddrive? Is there any way to install them manually?
I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows Desktop and Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 yet there are no project templates for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services available when I attempt to create a new project.
Details of install are: Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop Version 12.0.40629.00 Update 5 Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.5.51209 Installed Version: Desktop Express Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013 06157-004-0441005-02546
I have a data in excel sheet which is to be loaded to sql table. The Column called seq_num has data with leading 0's these 0's are ignored while loading through ssis.
Example if seq_num is like 0099988 the sql table would get 99988, how to get the whole data with missing anything.
FYI: seq_num on excel source has a data type as dt_r8.
Hello, I'm new at Integration services and I have an excel file with information in several worksheets. I want to loop through some specific sheets to retrieve the data and save it in a database table. I know how to retrieve the data from one sheet, but I don't know how to do it for several sheets. Any ideas?...I would appreciate any help.
I have to import a number of excel spreadsheets. I'm using the classic Foreach Loop inside another Foreach loop approach. The outside loop (Foreach File Enumerator) cycles through the Excel files, while the inside loop (Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator - ExcelSchema - Tables) to cycle through the individual Excel sheets in each file.
Nothing special there; however, for some reason these excel files have some "phantom" tabs that should not be imported. I call them phanton because they show up as an importable tab in a SSSIS import wizard but actually are not listed in the excel file structure (no, they are not hidden tabs, I checked).
My idea is to use a constraint to NOT import those phanton tabs. The name convention should allow me to do that because the normal tabs have the name 'AAAAAAyyyymmdd$' and the phantom tabs show up as 'AAAAAAyyyymmdd$'_xlnm#_FilterDatabase (the line below was captured from the Local Variable window and show one of the phantom tabs name).
I tried using Len (@[User::WorksheetName]) == 17, which corresponds to the length of the normal tabs name ('AAAAAAyyyymmdd$'). However, it does not work. For some reason the portion of the phantom tab name after the ending single quote (_xlnm#_FilterDatabase) appears to be ignored.
I tested with a number of different expressions, including reversing the variable, to no avail. It seems that internally just the standard name between quotes is what the constraint sees.
My package is having .csv file as a source and I kept OLEDB destination to load it.
Stored the .csv file in a shared folder and the exact path is given in Enumerator configuration of the foreach loop container. When I execute my package, it is giving the warning as below:
It is saying that file is not there in the specified path and directory is empty. I am running the SSIS package from TFS. I am sure that I have read and write access for the shared folder for my userID. Is there any access there to pick up this file from path.
I have used for-each loop container for loading excel sheet contains multiple sheets with same structure. It is loading data into SQL table even there is no data in sheets.
I have a table with 3000 values and What I need to do is place a full set of these values for every date in the year 2015. How to achieve this through SSIS?I know we can achieve through SQL using while loop.
EG: 1-1-2015 a b c d 1-2-2015 a b c d like wise 12-31-2015 a b c d .
I have a for each loop(ADO Enumerator) container which executes for each Advertiserid which is coming from database. In for each loop I have to create a new excel file with the advertiser name. So if the loop executes 7 times there should be seven excel spreadsheets with seven advertiser names.
How can i create an excel dynamically in the foreach loop container.
In my SSIS package I am using Foreach loopcontainer to load multiple flat files.
Now my requirement is that I want to load only those file which contains %vendor%.In source folder I have many files but I am interested in to load only those file which contains the string %vendor% in file name.
in order to use an SSIS package as a data source in a report, I need to enable the SSIS extension in the RSReprotDesigner.config and RSReportServer.config files. That extension is in neither of these files. I have SSIS running on my machine with Reporting Services.
The path to RSReportServer.config: C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVERReporting ServicesReportServer
The path to RSReportDesigner.config: C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0Common7IDEPrivateAssemblies
Why is this extension not in either of these files?
The following is an abbreviated list of what's present in the RSReportServer.config file:
I am having a challenge to pass the filename variable from SSIS Foreach Loop Container to SQL store procedure. I have an "Execute SQL Task" inside "Foreach Loop Container" which will receive the input filename parameter passed by the Foreach Loop Container. The store procedure command line is defined as "EXEC sp_mySQLStoreProcedure ?" within the "Execute SQL Task". The Foreach loop container will gather the filenames from File System then put it in the filename variable one by one. I would like to pass the filename variable as the input parameter to the sp_mySQLStoreProcedure in the "Execute SQL Task". How can I connect the variable and the store procedure so that it will process all the input files gathered by the Foreach Loop Container?
Please help! I am trying to import data from an ODBC data source to a SQL Server database using Integration Services. I am new to SQL Server 2005 but all was working happily on 2000 using DTS.
I am trying to follow the tutorials using a data flow task but cannot get my ODBC database into the connection managers tab, because OLE DB for ODBC isn't one of the options! Am I missing something? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I am struggling to come to terms with 2005 and cannot migrate the 2000 DTS packages
