Integration Services :: Expression To Parse Filename To A Date
Aug 7, 2015
I am very new to SSIS. I need a package to iterate through files in folders and subfolders, evaluate the date of the file and delete them if they are over 90 days. I am using the following as a guide. The reason I am not using a maintenance plan for this is that I did not see a way to use a built in maintenance plan task to copy files. I already built a package that copies files to the destination. Now I need to delete files in the destination that are over 90 days old.

I have a File System Task to delete files. I have a Script Task with a precedence constraint where I need to build an expression on the constraint between the Script Task and the File System Task for the delete.
I have database backups in the format of SQLInstanceName_DatabaseName_BackupType_YYYYMMDD_XXXXXXX.bak.
I created a variable to store the filename and I need an expression that will convert a file name like :
MySQLInstance_MyDB_DIFF_20150803_1700000.bak into 20150803, compare it to getdate -90 days.
I created another variable for the Max File Age. I built the below but when I click on Evaluate Expression I get an error stating, "The expression might contain an invalid token, an incomplete token, or an invalid element."
I have a data field in a SSRS Report that contains the requestor's User Id. Their ID is prefixed with "PRIV"...And I'm assuming that is the direct result of the network domain. I need to create a SSRS expression to determine if the User ID is prefixed with "PRIV" and then parse that out and use what's behind the "" as their true User Id.
example...."PRIVID123456" should appear as "ID123456" in the report data line.
This is for SSIS 2008r2. I am generating flat files successfully with a datetime stamp (filename_yyyymmddhhmm). Now I need to append a MAX(FILEDATE) from the file. I have a query to do this, but am not sure about two things:
1) Is it advised to put the query in a Script Task (with db conn and so forth) or is it better to put it in an Execute SQL Task? I am thinking the latter but am not 100% sure.
2) How would I pass the result of this query (yyyymm) to the filename. The filename format would be (filename_yyyymm). I am assuming that I would probably need to pass the result into a variable/expression but am not quite sure of the steps involved.
I have a requirement to move files from HOLD folder to input folder. In HOLD folder I receive multiple files starting with af, ai, ar i.e. af*.txt , ai*.txt, ar*.txt . I need to move one file at a time to input folder as each file is to be loaded into database before next file is processed. In all the files the SSIS has to look at ai*.txt files first followed by af*.txt and lastly ar*.txt. If there are multiple files of same group the file with oldest date has to be moved first. How do I achieve this?
I have one package through for each loop container I am loading all flat files into target table and its working fine.Now I my requirement is to capture the .txt file and loading into sqlserver table.Please check below file name.
CCCLOC_DDDLOC_LOC_20151203_240000_trigger.txt
from above file name I have to derived below detail.I have variable @File_Name which is used to stored the file name at rune time.Now I want to derived 5 values from the file name as below
i have monthly csv files have been loading into tables and the files having columnn month names (e.g july) i need to write SSIS expression based on month column to get last day of the month like 31072015 some thing like below]
july 31072015 aug 31082015 sep 30092015 feb 28022016
Need to know how I can get the dynamic filename created in the FlatFile destination for insert into a package audit table?
Scenario: Have created a package that successfully outputs Dynamiclly named flat files { Format: C:Test’Comms_File_’ + ‘User::FileNumber’+’_’+Date +’.txt’
E.g.: Comms_File_1_20150724.txt, Comms_File_2_20150724.txt etc} using Foreach Loop Container :
* Enumerator Set to: “Foreach ADO Enumerator” with the ADO object source variable selected to identify how many total loop iterations there are i.e. Let’s say 4 thus 4 files to be created
*Variable Mappings : added the User::FileNumber – indicates which file number current loop iteration is i.e. 1,2,3,4
For the DataFlow task have a OLDBSource and a FlatFile Destination where Flat File ConnectionString is set up as:
We have one package in production. variable var_date has an expression already defined to it. How can we overwrite this variable value from config file or from cmd file. We don't want to make changes to the package and redeploy it.
Having trouble casting GETDATE() to a string value (DT_STR) using expression builder? I want to concatenate the current date to some text used in a send mail task.
Error: The variable "$Package::LocalConfigDB_ConnectionString" was not found in the Variables collection. The variable might not exist in the correct scope.
Error: Attempt to parse the expression "@[$Package::LocalConfigDB_ConnectionString]" failed and returned error code 0xC00470A6. The expression cannot be parsed. It might contain invalid elements or it might not be well-formed. There may also be an out-of-memory error.
I have a decimal data type column with a record in the following format 20150219 --> yyyyMMdd. And I am trying to convert the return value from SSRS date/time parameter to a decimal value.
The TMDTOP column is the decimal data type with date records in yyyyMMdd format.
I need to create a variable expression that will be passing yesterday's date to a sql command but when I create the variable there is only the datetime datatype, how can I trim the time portion from this expression to get the date portion :
I am trying to upload data from CSV to Sql table. I have a column as 'arrived_date' value '13:45' etc and while trying to load data i am getting error as "data conversion failed ,truncation may occur while loading data". In flat file connection this column datatype is string but in my table datatype is as time(). There is a error with conversion. I tried to change data type in advanced editor but no use. Using data conversion after flatfile makes my error disappear but it is giving error right at the file not even going through from file?
I have created an package in SSIS and getting some problem when i am export date from OLEDB to Excel its format getting change. I am passing date format MM/dd/yyyy and its showing yyyy-MM-dd.
I've a text file which having a datetime column value like YYYY-MM-DD-HH.MM.SS.XXXXXX. I cannot convert this is to datetime format from text file using BCP utility.
Presence of hypen "-" between DD and HH, the SQL server does not accept this is as Datetime.
Is there any option to covert the date value in format file in BCP.
I am getting below errors when I try to import data from csv format to a sqlserver table.The csv file has date column that has date with format: 7/10/2015 1:18:39 PM and the sql server is using datetime not null for that field in the table.
[OLE DB Destination [90]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Invalid date format".
[OLE DB Destination [90]] Error: There was an error with input column "Date" (138) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (103). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".
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 .
