Deleting Files With The FTP Client On A UNIX Box
May 2, 2008
I get the following error when I try to delete files using the FTP client in a SSIS package. This is the error I get.
Error: 0xC002918E at FTP Task, FTP Task: Unable to delete remote files using "FTP Connection Manager".
Task failed: FTP Task
This is a unix server. I'm able to delete the files using other FTP clients but the FTP client in the SSIS package cannot delete the files. I read on many places on the interent that this is a known MS bug. Let me know if there is some sort of work around for this. I'm using SQL servewr 2005 SSIS packages to accomplish this task..
Thanks

Anyone support a config where you have an unix/linux (AIX here) ODBC client connection to SQL Server database? I am looking for a simple, supportable configuration that does not require me to learn perl or instal a bunch of crap gnu shareware on enterprise class machines.
Please help!

Hi All,
How to create a text file in UNIX format using Flat File connection manager. By default when we create a connection manager for flat files it is taking "CRLF" as the delimeter.
I beleive the format of the file will be decided based on the control line feed character at the end of each row. There are different control line feeds for different operating systems.
CR - Mac OS (Carraige return)
LF - UNIX (Line Feed)
CRLF - Windows. (Carriage return Line Feed)
Correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks in advance.

It seems to me that files created on Unix machines with line terminator , or chr(10), cannot be imported using the Bulk Insert statement. Is this a bug, or an oversight by Microsoft? Does this mean that unless one replaces all with
, there is no way to use Bulk Insert to import Unix files? This is a very strange behavior by MSSQL. Even lessor programs such as Excel and Word automatically recognize chr(10) as a line termination character. Am I missing something, or is this just the way MSSQL is?

First, let me start by saying I know the answer to this, but due to politics any answer I give will be viewed with some disdain and disbelief.
A Unix/Network [rtdpmin one our sister agencies is trying to solve a problem that really does not need to be solved, but ....
The sister agency uses Information Builder's WebFocus on Unix. When they try to read my data warehouse in SQL Server 2000 it times out on them (on their end and they claim they cannot fix it) (This is using the supplied WebFocus ODBC/JDBC driver for SQL Server). This has lead to accusations of us not letting them read the data.
After much gnashing of teeth over "if you do data and data analysis for a living, why do I have to show you how to set-up an ODBC connection" we have shown them how to connect to the data, read it, and transfer it using MS-ACCESS, EXCEL, and more importantly SPSS. This is not good enough because they cannot figure out how to put it into WebFocus.
Their network person has come-up with the brilliant idea of reading the .mdf directly by installing Windows for Unix on the Unix side and then just pointing to the .mdf file and "reading it ".
Unless I have missed something somwhere (I will admit possible), I know you need a driver to read MS-SQL and that driver in every example I have seen could care less about the physical location of the .mdf file. It wants to know what database, what server (ip or name) and what security/login to use.
Could someone give me a more "technical answer" or even Microsoft's party line so I do not have this person mucking around with my production server trying to acomplish the impossible.

I have a database and I see that I have a lot of TRN files behind it taking up more than 82GB disk space.I have a TRN file from Jan until today. I plan to delete every one of them until April to recover 59 GB of disk space. Would that be OK?

We have our Maintenance routines set up to delete files older that one week, but it is not working...
...Consequently, we forget to go out and remove the files manually, thus we lose backups due to the drive being full and have to manually remove files, then backup the databases and start all over again.
Has anybody had this problem and can you tell me where to look to try and figure out what the problem is ??
Thanks in advance,
Nancy

I have a backup job that has failed.
The database size is 20.6 GB and the Transaction logs are 135MB
The amount of disk space I have left is 3.65MB. Which I know is not going to work.
However on the maintenance plan it is suppose to remove files older than 1 day.
I am wondering if a job works like this:
Step 1 create backup file
Step 2 Create Transaction Log Back up
Step 3 Delete old backup file
Step 4 Delete old Transaction log back up
Which tell me I would need to have double amount of disk space to accommodate 2 20 GB backup file and 2 135MB Transaction log file.
Is this correct??
Also is there a way that I can have step 3,4 done first.

i have a maintenance plan running on my database, in which I told the wizard, on creation, to "remove files older than 4 week" and yet it doesn't seem to be doing so, as on checking this morning, diskspace was getting low, due to over 300gb of backups and trn' dating back to september.
Anyone have ny problems with maintenance plans not cleaning up when told?

I have created some backups where expiration dates or days to be
retained were not specified.
Using EM, how do I find the old backups.
Using EM, how do I delete the old backups (hoping this will
clean up the MSDB tables and physically delete the files
from disk).
Thanks!!!!

Such a simple task. Not doing as it should!!
This Maintenance Cleanup Task is set to delete all BAK and TRN files it's made (in seperate maintenance plans) in given path, with the given file extension, delete files based on the age of the file at task run time. Delete files older that 4 days.
The files are now backing up for months and months. I'm not going to take care of this. I've got a computer to do this for me, every time it runs its jobs, every 4 hours and once overnight.
This is ignoring commands and refusing to do as it's told. I've checked the settings in here over and over. It's so simple - what could be wrong? I've checked the path, the file age, the extensions... The disks are getting full!
Has anyone seen anything like this?

I have three FileStreams (FS1 on F drive, FS2 on H drive, FS3 on E drive) belonging to the same FileStream group of one particular database (DB) which is in Simple recovery mode in the SQL Server 2012.
FS1 contains huge number of files due to which F drive is completely full.
So, I am trying to move some of the extra files from one FileStream (FS1 on F drive) to another FileStreams (FS2 on H drive and FS3 on E drive) using command:
dbcc shrinkfile('FS1', emptyfile)
Then, I take the Full and Differential backup of the database and issue the CheckPoint and try to delete the already duplicated files from the Filestream FS1 to get some space in the F drive using command:
sp_filestream_force_garbage_collection @dbname = 'DB' , @filename = 'FS1'
But still no files get deleted and I receive the output as such:
file_name num_collected_items num_marked_for_collection_items num_unprocessed_items last_collected_lsn
DB_FS1 0 0 0 25000001749500000
how to delete these already duplicated files.

I am running 2005 SP2 (It is the SP2 refresh as I downloaded the SP2 on 3/15/07) and I can't get the .txt maint plans to delete. The job completes successfully; however, the old .txt files are still there. I found this technote: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938085
although I don't receive the error message in the KB. The report does have "New Component Output" as the 1st line in the report. I still don't see how deleting the 1st line of an already run job (the report) will affect a new run of the job.
Also, I checked the version of the Microsoft.SqlServer.MaintenancePlanTasks.dll and it is at 9.00.3043.00 (which is the SP2 Refresh) in KB 933508 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933508 ).
I have several SQL/2005 servers and they all have this problem. Any help would be appreicated...
Thanks,
DeWayne

We had someone create an extra data file and log file for tempdb. Sowe currently have two data files and two log files. Is it possible todelete the newly created data and log files? If I just delete thephysical files, I assume they'll get created as soon as SQL Servergets started back up. Any help would be great, since a single dataand log file for tempdb is my goal.Thanks much.sean

I am utlizing a scripting object in my ssis to combine two text files into one final file, and then I want to delete the original files. To do this I am utilizing the FileSystemInfo namespace and associating the file names, then utilizing the DELETE functionality.
The creation of the final file works perfectly...unfortunately, my base files do not delete, and I do not get a failure message or indictator.
Here is my code:
' Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Task

I am using the backup task and backing up a database but want to delete all backup files older than 5 days old. I am using the file task for this and have built the path in a variable but am trying to use a wildcard for the time. I am getting illegal character in path. How can I go about this.

I have the following issue with Maintenance plan backups that work for BAK DIF and TRN to a remote server share.
When I try and remove the old files with a clean up task I get an error and the files don't get deleted.
The version is as follows
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.3054.00 (X64) Mar 23 2007 18:41:50
Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on
Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)
The error result is as follows,
Failed-1073548784) Executing the query "EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file
0,N'\\EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'\ABCD-A1\BACKUPS\ABCD_BACKUP\ABC_DAILY\ABCD',N'trn',N'2008-01-13T12:52:49'" failed with the following error: "xp_delete_file() returned error 2, 'The
system cannot find the file specified.'". Possible failure reasons: Problems
with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set
correctly, or connection not established correctly.
The maintenance plan seems to be adding extra "" though when i enter the
code directly in a query i get same error.
Query:
EXECUTE master.dbo.xp_delete_file 0,N'\ABCD-A1BACKUPSABCD_BACKUPABC_DAILYABCD',N'trn',N'2008-01-13T12:52:49'
Error:
xp_delete_file() returned error 2, 'The system cannot find the file specified.'
The servers belong to the same domain and are using the same Service account which has all the necessary rights to the share and the file directory location. The backups work but i get the error on the cleanup task.
Trying to figure out how to get the Cleanup task to delete old files. The same happens for all file extensions and I have tried other locations with simpler file paths same error.
Regards,
Scott
