Integration Services :: Renaming / Replacing Part Of A File In File System Task
May 14, 2015
I'm copying files to a folder with the naming convention as follows in the source folder:
CM_ABC_MY_TEST.txt
In the destination folder, this filename needs to appear as:
CM_XYZ_MY_TEST.txt
In my File System Task, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need an expression with a replace, substring, etc. But am having a hard time nailing down the exact syntax.
I 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.
I'm having trouble working this out in SSIS. I am trying to use a File System task to rename a file using an expression so that file.zip will be renamed to filemmyy.zip at the end of every month (for instance this month would be file0506.zip).
I am using the destination expression variable. But I'm not sure what to put for DestinationConnection. It seems to want a file name, but the file name is going to be variable, so I'm not sure what to put.
I attempted to use Move Directory to move the contents of one directory to another.  I encountered the 'different volume' issue that others have experienced.  While this error is frustrating I can work past this particular issue. My more pressing question is why is the move directory command overwriting a destination directory?   When I setup the Move directory file task I provided two vars to hold src and dest location:
dest var:Â estserveroutput src var: devserverdev estfiles Set overwrite destination = TRUE
Why would Move Directory overwrite output folder at destination? Â Shouldn't it only overwrite if the testfiles directory exists at destination? Â This is very frustrating since I cannot find enough information in the official documentation to understand what is happening here. Â
Is it just me or does the documentation for Move directory seem.....incomplete?
I am trying to create and later read a data file from a package deployed in SSISDB, but it is not reading it while it is successfully creating the file. The same package when run from the file system package, runs successfully. Generating ispac and deploying in SSISDB is running for infinite time. Is it a permission issue?
I have a doubt in file system deployment in ssis. I read msdn articles like "MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml" will decide the default folder for ssis packages those are deployed to "File System".Â
I have installed SQL server 2012 of 64 bit in my system. My "MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml" file was reside in the path"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110DTSBinn". This means when we try to deploy my packages to File System default path should come like "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110DTSPackages".Â
But in my case path was coming like "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server100DTSPackages" even though my "MsDtsSrvr.ini.xml" reside in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server110DTSBinn". i can't able to see my packages in SSMS when i connected to integration services.
We deployed the ssis package to SQL server and now trying to configure but it only allow use to change environmental variables there is no option to browse and select XML configuration file. Does this mean when you  are using SQL server deployment mode u can only use environmental variable ?
We run std 2008 r2. When I deploy and run a pkg from the catalog, how can I get that flat file system log we always instructed ssis to write to when we ran from the command line? I believe it was the /L param . Not sure at this point if i'll use sql agent or somehow employ task scheduler to kick off the pkg.
I have around 500 packages (SQL 2005)Â deployed in file system & all this packages are running on daily basis via SQL agent. Now I need to migrated all 500 packages into SQL server 2008 R2.
There is no inventory to track which package belogs to which team and any other information.
Now, I need a method to query the pakages connection string details with database respective. Is there any method?
Executing the FTP Task - The execution starts and after 3 or more minuts the execution stops with the RED X but with no errors, and the file is not transferred.I use the same entries to the FTP connection manager as it is for the Dreamweaver...The variable that I created for file in the site is FileName1 and the site directory tree is The local path is And The File Transfer is filled up like this: After the Execution stops I get..And the file was not transfered..Also, when I try to Specify the Variable Expretion.
I would like to store the file properties like (title, created by , created time, modified time) and load in to a audit table along with file name. I know how to design this process inside a foreach lookup with script task and execute sql task.
I'm trying to achieve this by editing my existing code which captures the most recent file based on its file properties.Â
public void Main() { // TODO: Add your code here var directory = new DirectoryInfo(Dts.Variables["User::Csv_Source"].Value.ToString()); FileInfo[] files = directory.GetFiles("*.csv"); DateTime lastModified = DateTime.MinValue;
I have 2 source folder .I have created variable for both source folder like below
User::Source1 and User::Source2 and 1 destination folder variable like below User::Destination
Now I have to search a file from both source folder which consist of *location_*.xml string in file name.I have to use C# Script task ,achieve above scenario as I required it on very urgent basis.
Is there anyway to  send excel file from ssis using send mail task without saving the excel file locally. I need to automate the process which involves loading the excel file from the database and send it to some people.Â
I want to open a excel file in script task and assigned the wraptext to one of the column. In the below code the final variable gives the path of the excel file. But i got the error at excel.workbook.open.
Error: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A03EC): Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbooks.Open(String Filename, Object UpdateLinks, Object ReadOnly, Object Format, Object Password, Object WriteResPassword, Object IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended, Object Origin, Object Delimiter, Object Editable, Object Notify, Object Converter, Object AddToMru, Object Local,
I am attempting to get this script provided by Microsoft to work to no avail. Specifically, when I set the variable FFNonDataRows to 1 (in order to accommodate for the header row), the variable is not being set to False as expected. I don't know enough about C# to understand why this script isn't working. How to get this script to work in this manner?
I have an SSIS package doing a bulk insert from a file. Then later on I'm trying to delete that file (in a file delete task), but I'm getting an error:[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The process cannot access the file 'xyz' because it is being used by another process.".I'm wondering if there isn't some way to 'tweak' the bulk insert syntax so that it doesn't lock the file?
I have a Data Flow Task within a ForEach loop container.  The source of the flow is ADO.NET connection and the destination is a Flat File Connection.  I loop through a collection of strings in the ForEach loop.  Based on the string content, I write some data to the same destination file in each iteration overwriting the previous version. I am running into following Errors:
[Flat File Destination [38]] Warning: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. [Flat File Destination [38]] Error: Cannot open the datafile "Example.csv". [SSIS.Pipeline] Error: Flat File Destination failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020200E.
I know what's happening but I don't know how to fix it. Â The first time through the ForEach loop, the destination file is updated. Â The second time is when this error pops up. Â I think it's because the first iteration is not closing the destination file. How do I force a close of the file within Data Flow task or through a subsequent Script Task.This works within a SQL 2008 package on one server but not within SQL 2012 package on a different server.
Now I'm trying to implement logic to check if excel file is opened or not if open send out email in Script task. Using c#
I'm using this one but it's not working fine. always give me file is opened
public void Main()        {            Boolean FileLocked = true;                // Check if the file isn't locked by an other process                   try
I've a dataflow task on For Each Loop container at control flow of SSIS package. This For Each Loop container reads the CSV files from the specified location one by one, and populates a variable with current file name. Note, the tables where I would like to push the data from each CSV file are also having the same names as CSV file names.On the dataflow task, I've Flat File component as a source, this component uses the above variable to read the data of a particular file.
Now, here my question comes, how can I move the data to destination, SQL table, using the same variable name?I've tried to setup the OLE DB destination component dynamically but it executes well only for first time. It does not change the mappings as per the columns of the second CSV file. There're around 50 CSV files, each has different set off columns in it. These files needs to be migrated to SQL tables using the optimum way.
Which is the best way to setup the Dataflow task for this requirement?Also, I cannot use Bulk insert task here as we would like to keep a log of corrupted rows.
Does anyone know how to do this using variables? Everytime I try it, I get the
Error: Failed to lock variable for read access with error 0xc00100001.
I also tried it writing a script and still the same error. If I hard code the values into the variables it works fine but I will be running this everday so that it will pull in the current date along with the filename. So the value of the variables will change everyday. Here is my expression:
I was wondering if there is a way to 'Move File' with the File System Task inside of a For Each Loop container but to dynamically set the Destination path variable.
Currently, this is what I have: FileDestinationPath variable - set to C:TestFiles FileSourcePath variable - set to C:TestFiles FileNameAndLocation variable - set to blank
For Each Loop Container €“ Iterates through a folder C:TestFiles that has .txt files in it with dates in the file name. Ex: Test_09142006.txt. Sets the file path (fully qualified) to the Variable Mapping FileNameAndLocation.
Script Task (within For Each Loop, first step) €“ Sets the FileDestinationPath to the correct dated folder within C:TestFiles. For example, if the text files I want to move are for the 14th of September, it takes FileDestinationPath and appends the date folder to the end of it. The text files have a date in the file name (test_09142006.txt) and I am picking this apart (from FileNameAndLocation in the For Each Loop) to get the folder date. (dts.Variables(€œUser::FileDestinationPath€?).Value = dts.Variables(€œUser::FileDestinationPath€?).Value & €œ€? Month & €œ_€? & Day & €œ_€? & Year & €œ€?) which gives me €œC:TestFiles 9_14_2006€?.
File System Task (within For Each Loop, second step) €“ This is where the action is supposed to occur. I want it to take the FileDestinationPath and move the FileNameAndLocation file (from the For Loop) into this folder for each run.
Now as for my problem. I want this package to run everyday but it has to set the FileDestinationPath variable dynamically according to that day€™s date. Basically, how do I get this to work since I can€™t hard code the destination path variable from the start? I have the DestinationVariable on the File System Task set to the FileDestinationPath variable, after the script task builds it. However, using FileNameAndLocation as the SourceVariable on my File System Task tells me that the €œVariable €œFileNameAndLocation€? is used as a source or destination and is empty.€?
Let me know if I need to clarify further€¦...I may be missing something very simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am able to run SSIS packages as SQL Server Agent jobs with a Control Flow items "File system task", if I move a file (test.txt) from a drive (c on the server (where SQL Agent jobs run) to a subdirectory on the same drive. But, if I try to move a file on a network drive, the package fail.
Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.
I have an SSIS script task using c#. i need to refere an .xsd dataset in the c# code. i tried to set property below.Build action to Content or Compile Copy to output directory Copy always But still i m unable to use the dataset in my code.
I want to move and rename a file and embed the date/time into it, so that each time the package runs a new file is created. For example MyFile_20060712_150000.doc.
Can someone give me a hint how to do this with the File Systen Task SSIS Control Flow Item?
I have a source files folder where the files generated everyday. My goal is pick the latest file and copy this single file to another folder. I used the Foreach loop container and got the latest file and stored the file name to a varible i.e. LatestFile Then i want to use the File System Task to copy this to the destination. On the beginning, I could not setup the Latestfile since I don't its name then, so when I setup the Source Connection property of the File system task, it is not allowed to leave the SourceVarible as blank!
Could someone please instruct me on how to use the File System Task Editor to rename a file? I place control on control flow tab, change the operation to rename, from there I am not sure what to do.
