Expression , REC constraints

I am trying use REC function to create new record.
Following part of logic I have issue...
REC(EXPRESSION=[ACCOUNT].[ACC1],[DATASRC].[ECC],[SEGMENT].[NoSegment],[CATEGORY].[aCTUAL],[Customer].[No_Customer](%VALUE%),ACCOUNT=ACCT2,DATASRC=BPC)
But after the second dimension in expression for the 3rd dimension onwards the message starts coming that 'Invalid Dimension' while executing pacakge.
Is there any number of dimension we can express in a single 'EXPRESSION' statement. Appreciate inputs
Regards,

Try
*REC(EXPRESSION=(([ACCOUNT].[ACC1],[DATASRC].[ECC],[SEGMENT].[NoSegment],[CATEGORY].[aCTUAL],[Customer].[No_Customer])*(%VALUE%),ACCOUNT=ACCT2,DATASRC=BPC)

Simple question - compare Strings with SSIS expression language

SSIS variables - strOne = YES, strTwo = YES. I want to compare strings using ssis expression language (ie inside a variable's expression box, constraint of task flow arrow etc).
Will @strOne == @strTwo be true ? I hope its not like programming languages where you need to do
@strOne.Equals(@strTwo) instead of ==. Also is @strOne == "YES" true ?

([User::strOne] == [User::Strtwo] ? True : False)
The third variable created should be of type boolean if you're using above expression. if its of type int return 0 and 1 instead of False and true

Email notification to specific user when processing multiple files at a time

Hi
I am new to SSIS and error mail notification ,can some please provide details for my urgent and prioritized task in my project.
below is the requirement
I have a package for multiple file processing using for each file enumerator .each file having same column definition but for different
users and different name .
i have some mandatory fields to form unique id on combination
1.when files processing any data missed on mandatory fields it should alert users saying following line and fields are missing mandatory
information
2.email notification should send to respective users based on file name.
example :
file1:bitunimous.xls
file 2.oxford.xls
each file having following fields
file 1:bitunimous.xls
claim no: claimant: subclaim:
1001 abc 0
1002 abc 1
1002 abe 0
1004 0
here bitunimous.xls missed claimant value for 4th line then email needs to send to [email protected] as
line no 4 missed claimant information for unique key generation like that.
file 2.oxford.xls
claim no: claimant: subclaim:
2001 det 0
2002 pre 1
pqr 0
2004 frc
here oxford.xls missed claimno value for 3rd line then email needs to send to [email protected] as
line no 3 missed claimno information for unique key generation like that.
can anybody please provide solution
Thanks .

You need to have a package with below work flow
1. ForEachLoop container with file enumerator to loop through files
Have variable inside loop to get the filename during each iteration. Create another variable called emailaddress, set EvaluateAsExpression property to true and set expression as
REPLACE(@[User::FileName],".xls","") + (DT_STR,20,1252) "@xyx.com"
2. Add tasks for validating data. Capture details of error on a string variable @[User::Error]
3. link a sent mail task to previous task and choose expression and constraint option. Set Constraint as On Completion and Expression as LEN(@Error) > 0
Inside Sent mail task set expression for ToLine and MessageSource properties to map to variables @[User::EmailAddress] and @{User::Error] respectively to sent notifications

Regarding ssis - how to handle new files in for each file enumerator

Hi,
I have one folder with 5 file text files by using for each file enumerator we store the files in to one folder but suddenly tomorrow one file add to that folder how to
store the file into same destination?

Inside foreach loop add a script task to check if file exists in destination folder. if exists set a boolean flag variable to True. Then link it to file system task you've using a conditional precedence constraint (Expression And Constraint). Set constraint
as OnSuccess and expression as below
@FlagVariable == False

XML to Flat File design issue

Hi,
A newbie to SSIS but was able to create an SSIS package which extracts XML data from one of the SQL server columns using "Execute SQL Task" and passes that to a for each loop container which contains an XML task for apply transform to each input
xml and append it to a flat file(additonally using a script task within for each container).
All good so far but now I want to apply conditional splitting to "Execute SQL Task" in the above and additionally pipe it to the exact similar additional process(For each container doing xml task as described above) for a different kind of
flat file.
If I alter the design to use the data flow approach and apply OOTB conditional split, I run into not knowing how to connect and execute more than one foreach container and embedded XML and script task (dataflow to control flow connection)
It is easy to put everything in a sequence container and repeat the Execute SQL Task . But to me that is very inefficient.
Any creative ideas or pointers to some internet content which tells me how can this be done most efficiently.
Hope my question makes sense and let me know if you need more clarification.
Thanks in advance.
SM

As I understand what you're asking for is a way to create conditional branches to do different typeof processing for each subset of data. For this you can do like below
1. Add set of tasks to additional processing for each type of flat file and link them to Execute sql task.
2. Make the precedence constraint option as Expression And Constraint for each of them. Make constraint as OnSuccess and expression based on your condition. You may need to create SSIS variables to capture value of fields to be used in expression manipulation.

Validating CSV File BEFORE importing and moving using an SSIS package

I'm trying to come up with a process (I'm used to doing this kind of stuff in T-SQL) in SSIS to grab a collection of .csv files from a folder, validate them, then depending on if they pass validation, import them into my database and move them into an archive
folder. If the .csv does not pass validation, then it does not get imported, and instead gets placed into an error folder. The validation requirements is that the Column2 of my .csv contains a WKT text field and the file is considered valid if every record
can be successfully converted into a Geometry/Geography type field.
Column0 Column1 Column2
abcd efgh LINESTRING (-71.4555487 41.6079686, -71.4550113 41.6088851)
ijkl mnop LINESTRING (-70.0748669 48.6634506, -70.0499 48.6548479)
qrst uvwx LINESTRING (-70.3159285 48.4199802, -70.3168512 48.4187551)

FOr that what you can do is dump the records to staging table and use STisValid function
see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb933890.aspx
finally take the count of failed ones and if cnt > 0 set boolean value as true/false. Then for true cases move data to final table and for false cases (invalid values), move it to error folder
So package will look like below
1. Data flow task to transfer data to staging
2. execute sql task to call a procedure which does validation on staging data and returns a bit result. Set it to SSIS variable using output variable from procedure
3. Connect to data flow task to do transfer from staging to destination. the precedence constraint option would be Expression And Constraint with expression as
@BooleanVariable == True
and constraint as OnSuccess
4. Connect to file system task to archive the file. the precedence constraint option would be Expression And Constraint with expression as
@BooleanVariable == False
and constraint as OnSuccess

Checkbox item renderer populated with data from 2 sources

I have a list object that has a check box and a label (using an inline item renderer). The list itself is populated with an array of objects and whether the checkbox is selected takes those objects and adds them to another list (for outbound purposes). Since the selected list can change elsewhere in my app how do I keep the binding of selections consistent? The dataprovider for my checkbox list is the first array of objects and is binded, but the second one (selected array) is not. What would be the best way to provide that binding to make sure the selected is consistent when the second array changes. Some of the code is below to better show...
<cms:HilightList
     id = "distributorList"
     width = "100%"
     height = "100%"

          if(schedPartner.id == partner.id)
               selected = true;
     return selected;
public function handleSelectedChange(event:Event):void
     var partner:Partner = event.currentTarget.parent.data as Partner;
          if(event.currentTarget.selected)
               addPartnerEvent(partner);
          } else {
               removePartnerEvent(partner);

Hi Aakcse,
In this condition, you need to make use of both the Precedence Constraint between Control Flow Tasks and the Conditional Split Transformation. Supposing you get the value in the flat file and store it in a variable via Script Task, you can create two Data
Flow Tasks, and connect the Script Task to the two DFTs.
For the Precedence Constraint between the Script Task and the Data Flow Task 1, set the “Expression and Constraint” expression to @[User::vEntryStatus]=="Y". And for the Precedence Constraint between the Script Task and the Data Flow Task 2, set the “Expression
and Constraint” expression to @[User::vEntryStatus]=="N".
In Data Flow Task 1, add a Conditional Split Transformation with this expression [Entry]==”YES”, and direct this output to the destination component. In Data Flow Task 2, also add a Conditional Split Transformation with expression [Entry]==”NO”, and direct
the output to the destination component.

Xml source Reading

HI all
I have xml source in for each loop.
when execute package getting error Like ...
was unable to read the XML data. Root element is missing
I think this comes due to having blank xml file.
can anyone suggest me how can verify xml have root element or not before go to xml source.

check if file size is empty before you go ahead with data flow task. You can do it inside script task by using
IIF(System.IO.File.ReadAllText(<filename>).Length > 0,true,false)
Set a boolean variable inside SSIS from above value and use it in precedence constraint following it to check whether you need to execute data flow task with XML Source.
Set precedence constraint option as Expression and Constraint and Set Expression as
@BooleanVar == false

Move dynamic file task in SSIS

I want to copy the dynamic files end of every month from one location to another.
File format : \\test\data\<databasename>_<backup>_<year>_<month>_<day>_<system generated number>_<system_generated_number>.bak
I went through many articles to use file system task to move files. There are daily backup which are already present in the same location. I don't want to copy those files in the same location. I want to copy only EOM file created in the previous month
dated as "_2014_04_30_".
Any help here would be highly appreciated.
-kccrga http://dbatrend.blogspot.com.au/

1. Create a variable to store the end of month date value first in format you want
2. Add an execute sql task to populate variable . Set resultSet as SingleRow, query as below
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(varchar(11),DATEADD(MM,DATEDIFF(MM,0,GETDATE()),-1),102),'.','_') AS MonthEnd
and map MonthENd value to your variable created above
3. Have a ForEachLoop with file enumerator pointing to your directory with backup files. Inside loop define a string variable to get filename for each iteration
4.Create a boolean variable (say FileMove) with default value False
4. Inside loop add a script task and pass the date valued variable and filename variable to it in ReadOnly mode and FileMove variable in ReadWrite mode . Inside script write logic to check for date pattern within filename and set FileMove variable value
accordingly
the code will look like below
Dts.Variables("FileMove").Value = IIF(InStr(Dts.Variables("FileName").Value,Dts.Variables("DateVariable").Value)>0,True,False)
Then join the script task to your File System Task, set precedence constraint option as Expression And Constraint. Set Constraint as OnSuccess and Expression as below
@FileMove == True
Refer this also where I've used similar logic

The type of the value (DBNull) being assigned to variable "User::AlereCoachingEnrolledID" differs from the current variable type (Int32)

This occurred within an Execute SQL Task
I am trying to get my entire result set with the following SQL...
IF EXISTS
SELECT [Alere_Coaching_Enrolled].[AlereCoachingEnrolledID]
FROM [dbo].[Alere_Coaching_Enrolled]
WHERE ([Alere_Coaching_Enrolled].[MatchMember] IS NULL
OR [Alere_Coaching_Enrolled].[MatchMember] = 0)
AND ([Alere_Coaching_Enrolled].[Processed] IS NULL
OR [Alere_Coaching_Enrolled].[Processed] = 0)
BEGIN
SELECT [Alere_Coaching_Enrolled].[AlereCoachingEnrolledID]
FROM [dbo].[Alere_Coaching_Enrolled]
WHERE ([Alere_Coaching_Enrolled].[MatchMember] IS NULL
OR [Alere_Coaching_Enrolled].[MatchMember] = 0)
AND ([Alere_Coaching_Enrolled].[Processed] IS NULL
OR [Alere_Coaching_Enrolled].[Processed] = 0)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT 0 AS [AlereCoachingEnrolledID]
END
I want to handle using a Sequence Container and an Expression and Constraint if I have rows to process and if I do not...thus the 0 portion of the SQL...
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Hi ITBobbyP,
As per my understanding, you created Execute SQL Task with the query and created a variable of int32, then set ResultSet to Full result set. When you run the package, you got the error message.
I reproduced the issue in my local machine, since the query can return a result set, you set type of variable to int32, so the error occurred. A Full result set must map to a variable of the Object data type. The return result is a rowset object. We can
use a Foreach Loop container to extract the table row values that are stored in the Object variable into package variables, and then use a Script Task to write the data stored in packages variables to a file.
For more information, please refer to Populating a variable with a result set section in the document:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280492.aspx
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Send Email using Execute SQL Task??????

I need to send the bad records in the data flow. I am attempting to do this using Execute SQL Tasks. Please give me steps I need to accomplish this. I have not set any variables up yet, assuming I need too.

Just add a Send mail Task (or Script Task if using gmail etc which requires authentication) and pass the file as an attachment. Make sure you've a step (Script Task) to check if file length > 0 (ie file has records) before you link it to Send mail Task
ie use a conditional precedence constraint (Expression And Constraint option)
See these links for more details

Conditon in control flow that needs sequencing

Hi,
Is there a way to make two Analysis Services DDL tasks, that can potentially run in parallel in a control flow (according to a condition) to run sequentially via configuration ?

just create a variable of type boolean in ssis. set default value as False. then in control flow have three tasks, one execute sql task and your two analysis services DDL tasks
Give a dummy statement inside execute sql task like say SELECt 1 after defining a db connecton. link the execute sql task to one of analysis services ddl tasks ( say ddl1). Change precedence constraint option as Expression and Constraint, set constraint
to OnSuccess and Expression to
@Variable == False
add the other analysis services ddl task (dd2) and dont connect anything to it. take the output from it and connect to dd1 and give precedence constraint option as Expression and Constraint, set constraint to OnSuccess and Expression to below
@Variable == True
Also set Multiple constraints option as Logical OR for ddl1
This will make sure when variable is true ddl2 executes first followed by dd1 and when variable is 1 they execute parallely
You can change variable value through configuration (XML file/SQL table value)

Dynamic tuple expression in *REC statement

Hi there,
I think I know the answer to this already, but here goes...
I need to use a tuple expression in a *REC statement (in place of the old-fashioned GET) but I want it to be dynamic, so at least one of the tuple members changes at runtime.
To use the basic example from SAP Help, but amended slightly, let's say this is the standard expression:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET P_ACCT = CE0004010,CE0652000
*WHEN P_ACCT
*IS "CE0004010"
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%/([P_ACCT].[CE0652000],[P_ACTIVITY].[LABPRD],[P_ENTITY].[E123]), P_ACCT="CE0661000")
*ENDWHENBut what if the P_ENTITY member should be dynamic, depending on the ENTITY member the user selects in the DM package? What I WANT to do is something like this:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET P_ACCT = CE0004010,CE0652000
*WHEN P_ACCT
*IS "CE0004010"
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%/([P_ACCT].[CE0652000],[P_ACTIVITY].[LABPRD],[P_ENTITY].[%ENTITY_SET%]), P_ACCT="CE0661000")
*ENDWHEN
...but it doesn't work. Is this even possible? And if so, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks very much,
Jason
PS. I'm already using a lookup to pull out a tax% in the same script, so I can't use it for this as well...

Some theory:
You have some scope at the script start (defined by user selection in DM prompt)
For each dimension you have variable %SOMEDIM_SET% containing initial script scope. If you change scope of some dimension using *XDIM_MEMBERSET SOMEDIM=MEM1,... you can always later restore original scope with *XDIM_MEMBERSET SOMEDIM=%SOMEDIM_SET%
WHEN/ENDWHEN will loop records with base members of the scope before WHEN. %VALUE% is a current record value.
You can use tuple references to other members in EXPRESSION=... Dimensions not defined in tuple will have the same base member as current record. In tuple you can also use parent members.
You can use LOOKUP as a replacement of FLD to get member from the property of the member in current record. LOOKUP can get data from current model or other model.

Use property value in *REC EXPRESSION statement

Hi,
How can I use the value of a property in a *REC EXPRESSION statement.
Assuming I have a property PRIORYEAR in my TIME dimension that indicates the same period in the previous year
Example: ID: 2009.JAN, PRIORYEAR=2008.JAN
I want to fetch the value from the PRIORYEAR with something like:
*REC(EXPRESSION=([TIME].PRIORYEAR),ACCOUNT="RENTASPERCSALES")
But it won't work. I tried few other options such as
*REC(EXPRESSION=([TIME].CurrentMember.Properties("PRIORYEAR")),ACCOUNT="RENTASPERCSALES")
to no avail.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Regis

Hi Regis,
Just checking, have you tried using 'TMVL' function in your script logic. Please check the help.sap for the usgae and some examples.
We could use TMVL in all the following places.
- in a 'WHEN' statment
- in an REC expression
- and also in a scoping statement.
We had some issues validating the script logic with TMVL in SP04 and teh same have been resolved in SP05. You might have to write the logic and validate the logic if your BPC version has any SP related issues.
Example:
*WHEN TIME
*IS TMVL(-1, 2010.DEC)
*REC(FACTOR=1, TIME=201.DEC)
*ENDWHEN
we could also use TMVL with a data manager prompt value such %TIME_SET%.
Thanks

Logic Rec Expression

We are in BPC 7.5NW.
I have to refer 2 accounts and make a calculation and passon the value to 3 rd account in the same applicaiton.
I have written a logic as follows:
XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY=ACTUAL,XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME= %TIME_SET%,*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY=LC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET DATASRC=ECC
*WHEN DATASRC
*IS ECC
//ACCT1/ACCT2 = ACCT3 (Value)(
*REC(EXPRESSION =(([ACCOUNT].[ACCT1])/([ACCOUNT].[ACCT2])),ACCOUNT=ACCT3,DATASRC=BPCUPDATE)
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
After execution of package checked the result and noticed than the amount posted to ACCT3 is far higher than expected value by customer .
Is the any thing wrong in the REC/EXPRESSION statement.
Is there any better way to write the logic for the given scenario?
Appreciate/welcome inputs
Regards
Edited by: BPC Lover on Sep 28, 2011 8:39 PM

If you want to have formula like Account 1= Account2/Account3
Then the code will be:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY=ACTUAL
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME= %TIME_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY=LC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET DATASRC=ECC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ACCOUNT=ACCT3
*WHEN DATASRC
*IS ECC
*REC(EXPRESSION =[ACCOUNT].[ACCT2]/%VALUE%,ACCOUNT=ACCT1,DATASRC=BPCUPDATE)
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
The code will select only records with ACCOUNT=ACCT3 and for each record will divide the value in [ACCOUNT].[ACCT2] by the value in the current record (with ACCOUNT=ACCT3) and will store the result in [ACCOUNT].[ACCT1]

Expression , REC constraints
