Trying To Load Multiple Excel Files Into A Db Table Using For Each Loop Container In SSIS
Oct 24, 2007
I am getting the following error when trying to load multiple excel files using for each loop container in SSIS, I tried to put the quotes in several different ways but still can't get rid of this error. I was able to successfully load single excel file, but when I use the for each loop container that's when I am having problems. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thx.

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')
Output:-
JobLogKey SrcNm DestNm
268 H:Data PlatformSource FileClient2LocHGSSpecLocation.txt Location.txt
269 H:Data PlatformSource FileClient1LocHGSSpecLocation.txt Location.txt
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.

What I'm trying to achieve is a SSIS package that will pick up 1 or
more excel files, process the data in them via the conditional
splitter, pushing the good data into a table, and all other rows into
an error table.
I'm having some issues using the ForEach container to process multiple
excel spreadsheets into tables. The excel import into the tables is
more or less working (imports data for good cases, but uses a null if
the Excel Source when it gets an unexpected value - but that's a
seperate problem).
I found something related to this when searching, but it related to
CTPs (June and September) and trying to reuse the connection strings
they built up there (using my own variable names, naturally) causes a
'Property Value failure':
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The connection string format is not valid. It must consist of one or
more components of the form X=Y, separated by semicolons. This error
occurs when a connection string with zero components is set on database
connection manager.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I attemtpted to use this:
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" +
@[User::RankingFileFullPath] + ";Extended Properties="Excel
8.0;HDR=YES";"
The excel importer works fine as a stand-alone component. Trying to use
the process defined in 'Profession SQL Server Integration Services'
pp140, I tried to use an expression to assign the variable value to the
connection string. I get a validation error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error at Import TPNB Ranking Excel spreadsheets [Excel Source [1]]: The
AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "Excel
Connection Manager" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
Error at Import TPNB Ranking Excel spreadsheets [DTS.Pipeline]:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any advice?
....
.... in addition ....
I attempted to change the package - I set the Data Flow validation to
Delay Validation, and changed the expression to change from:
ConnectionString @[User::RankingFileFullPath]
to
ExcelFilePath @[User::RankingFileFullPath]
This allowed the package to start debugging, and gave more information in the failure:

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 have 2 different excel files file1 and file2. file1 should be loaded to table1 and file2 should be loaded to table2. Both of the files will have 1 sheet inside. Do I need to create separate excel source for file1 and file2? I mean file1 in one excel source and that will be connecting to 1 execute sql task. file2 in other excel source and that will be connecting to another execute sql task. Is this the way I should proceed or is there any looping should be done? I need to schedule this activity to run every week. So, I'll get new files every week with the same file names and sheet names. Do I need to consider anything for this requirement also?
I'm planning to do truncate and reload not an incremental load.

Hi,
My requirement is I have to read 2 sets of files from a folder. For example, I have to read all files starting with either 'a' or 'b' only. In 'Foreach Loop', if I say 'a*,b*', it is not working. Instead of comma (,), I tried colon, semi-colon and pipeline characters also. It is not working. So I am using 2 loops now. But I would like to know is there any way to do it using a single loop?
Thanks.

In all of our extract packages, we use a foreach loop container to grab files from the 400 sitting out in a certain directory. For this particular package, we have specified the files should be named RP*.* We know there are several files out in the directory. The package runs without error and completes, but says no files were found in the directory with that name. What could be causing this issue? Thanks!

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.

have an excel file which contains lots of sheets. Some of them are named as DW-<day>-<month> (for e.g; DW-1-July). Like this I have sheets for the whole month. I have other sheets too with a different name. I would like to import data from these sheets only (DW ones). Upon my research I have found that this can be achieved via For Each Loop Container.

Hi,
Is it possible to use multiple masks in a For Each File Loop container?
I need to process "*.txt" and "*.csv" and tried to separate them with all the usual characters("," ";" etc.) but it does not seem to work. I don't want to create 2 or more containers for each mask.
Thanks

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.

Hi,
I am using For each loop container in my SSIS package which will loop through more than one input file in the input folder.
All the input files in the input folder are picked by one by one. All the input files in the input folder are executed with the same ExecutionInstanceGUID.
Now, my requirement is to get a new ExecutionInstanceGUID during the execution of each input file in the For each loop container. My package only contains the For each loop container with some logic inside that.
Please let me know if any one can help me for the same.
Regards,
Sriram.

Hello all,
I'm new to SSIS and have a question about the best way to generate multiple Excel files with my current package design. I have a stored procedure that I run from an Execute SQL Task in a foreach loop container, and it generates results as appropriate for each of the parameters it loops through.
What's the best way to take the result set from each of those executions and generate an Excel file from each set? How do I map that result set variable to be the input for creating a new Excel file? Is this best done as a script task somehow?
Should I not be using SSIS for this task? I thought I would just create a package and schedule it to run daily with SQL Agent, and it would autogenerate the Excel files as needed.
Thanks for your advice!

Hello,
I would like to modify "Files" attribute of the Foreach Loop of type File
Enumerator. This attribute is used to set the mask (for example *.txt) to
specify which files to include in the selection. I need to be able to change
this mask dynamically depending on package global variable. Is this possible?
Thank you!

Suppose if I have a “Foreach Loop Container” that iterates over a list. Is it possible to execute different data flow tasks based on the input?
Example : List contains elements L1, L2 & L3.
ForEach Loop Container checks the input. If its L1 then it should execute DF Task1, If L2 then execute
DF Task2 and similarly for L3.
Is it possible to achieve this?

why when I make a change to a foreach loop container in a SSIS package it does not save?
I am trying to change the base file name and if I change it through either the edit or properties windows, the changes does not save. Fore example i change the Files: or File Spec: from oldfile*.txt to newfilename*.txt and when I save and og bak into the edit area to confirm the change, the Files: section shows as "oldfile*.txt.

Here's the set up:
ForEach Loop Container:
Collection: Foreach File Enumerator
Variable Mappings: Variable = User::DailyFile, Index = 0
Execute SQL Taks:
Connection: OLEDB
ResultSet: None
SQLStatement: EXEC spGetFile ?
ParameterMapping: VariableName = USER::DailyFile, Direction = Input, DataType=VARCHAR, Parameter = 0
This works great it iterates through a file and looks at all the files checks to see if they have been loaded into the db table, if not it loads the file.
My spGetFile has RETURN 1 if a file is loaded and RETURN 0 if the file is not loaded.
Now I add a new variable:
Step 1: add to Foreach Loop Container
ForEach Loop Container Name = Return, Scope = ForEachLoop, Data Type= Int32 Value=0
Step 2: Add to Execute SQL Task:
VariableName = User:Return, Direction = ReturnValue, DataType = Long, ParameterName =1
This produces the following error:
~~"Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.~~
I tried with an ADO.Net connection ... works until I add the ReturnValue parameter ...
Any ideas??
Thanks

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.

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?

All,
I have a package that loops over ~60 Excel files in a directory. Each
file has three named ranges in it, which I import into different
tables. Sometimes the package runs without a hitch, sometimes it
chokes. But it is intermittent.
If I pull the control flow components out of the foreach loop and
point the Excel connection manager to the specific Excel file that has
caused the package to choke, I get a message in the dataflow component
pointing to the named range that "the metadata of the following output
columns does not match the metadata of the external columns......Do
you want to replace the metadata of the output columns with the
metadata of the external columns?" When I choose 'yes', then the
file will be loaded. then I can put the control flow components back
into the foreach loop and the file will run again, successfully, along
with some more, until it chokes again....
So, first of all, does anyone have any insight into this? Sometimes,
somedays, these files will load with no problems. These exact files;
I am having to reload constantly... Other times, like today, it is a
battle.
Otherwise, is there a way to get Integration Svcs to handle the
metadata issue on the fly???
Any ideas, resources, references, war stories, or good clean jokes
would be appreciated,
Kathryn
