For Each Loop Issue In SSIS

Hi All,
I have a SSIS Package which unzips the folder and then imports the files and then moves *.zip folders into processed location. If this task is executed as a part of total package its not moving the *.zip folders into processed location, but when we execute
for each loop alone this *.zip folders are moved into processed location. I am unable to figure out the issue here.
ZippedFile variable holds fully qualified file name..

Can you put a OnPreExec breakpoint on the file system task (Right click on the file system task > Edit Breakpoint... > Select the first (OnPreExec breakpoint) and when the pkg pauses @ the breakpoint, chk the value of the ZippedFle and FilePathDestination
variable values in your Local window (should be available at the bottom of the SSIS window as one of the tabs and you will need to expand the variable tree and find these two variables and their values). Are you seeing the appropriate values here?

XSLT For-each loop issue

Hi All,
I have a below requirement:
two source nodes:
<NODE1>
<NODE2>
Here node 2 is optional. i want to check if node 2 is present, if it is present then for-each value of node 2
if not the the for each must be based on the value of the parent node which is node1.
Can anyone help me out on this..
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
In your xslt code within the for loop, for the trxSetIdentCode why are you using the xpath "/ns1:Transaction-997/ns1:Loop-AK2/ns1:Segment-AK2/ns1:Element-143"? It should be just "ns1:Segment-AK2/ns1:Element-143". Similar changes for segmentError and trxSetAckCode also should be done. Remove the '/ns1:Transaction-997/ns1:Loop-AK2/' part from your xpath expressions inside the for loop and try it.

SQL Agent Permssions With SSIS for each loop not looping through files

Hi I am Having trouble getting a ssis package to iterate through a file directory using a proxy account set up in Sql Server.
So I have a package that loops over csv files. If I run the package manually or set the sql agent job to run as Sysadmin the pakage runs fine all files are processed.
However if I use the proxy account. the package completes but no files are processed. there are no failures, there is no error handling set up in the control flow. the for each loop container simply does not recognise any files when run under a proxy.
Note: the proxy is set up with credentials to access the folder. the credential is also set up with the server admin server role... still nothing
i'm not sure is this is a ssis or permissions problem?
Any comments will be appreciated

Can you check this and see if you've configured all the steps correctly
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2163/running-a-ssis-package-from-sql-server-agent-using-a-proxy-account/
Also enable logging in package and see if you're getting any error messages obtained in output table/file based on the logging option you chose.

SSIS Help For each Loop Container

I need a little help with this process that I am developing. I am fairly new to SSIS so please bear with me. I have done research online so If I seem limited in my knowledge please apologize me.
Requirement: I have a folder where we will have flat files monthly they could be one or more...
each file will have the following name standard "123456.EEAKQ2.EASDREWA12A.BID".
What I need to do is maintain a table which will have filename and date when it was added to the folder.
I have created a package with the following components "For each loop" which grabs files from a source folder.
This is where I am stuck. I need to grab the file name from the path and insert it into the table.
Can someone help me with this?
Thank you
FM

See similar requirement implemented here
What you need is to declare and use a variable inside for each loop to get filename each time. Then you may use script task to check for pattern within the file for identifying correct files

SSIS For Each Loop Container

Hello All,
I have some files within sub folders. Below is the layout
C:\Source\01012015\Sample_1.csv
C:\Source\01012015\Sample_2.csv
C:\Source\02012015\Sample_1.csv
C:\Source\02012015\Sample_2.csv
C:\Source\03012015\Sample_1.csv
C:\Source\03012015\Sample_2.csv
I want
to copy entire folder contents from source to destination including the sub folders and the files
I am using for each loop container which reads the files form 01012015 folder, is there any way to read
all the files from each and every folder(01012015, 02012015,03012015)?
The destination should be like this.
C:\Archive\01012015\Sample_1.csv
C:\Archive\01012015\Sample_2.csv
C:\Archive\02012015\Sample_1.csv
C:\Archive\02012015\Sample_2.csv
C:\Archive\03012015\Sample_1.csv
C:\Archive\03012015\Sample_2.csv
Thanks, Shyam.

Hi Shyam,
According to your description, you want to copy entire folder contents including the sub folders and the files from source to destination.
Based on my research, we should use Foreach File Container together with File System Task to achieve your requirement. For more details, please refer to the following links:

Get the Excel file creatoin Date through For Each Loop each excel file in SSIS

I had For Each Loop
in Collection Path had 2 files it had Creation date of 25/01/2014
So I want Update in Table that date as File_Receive_Date column
How Can I do ??
in variable I am using VFile_FULL_Name(=Filename with Path by attach to Foreach loop collection&connection manager)
which other System Variable to use in SSIS ??
I have created vRef_Date but in Expression =====??? what should I do through only SSIS ??
Thanks
Madhu

The easiest approach is https://filepropertiestask.codeplex.com/ can capture the file creation date, but it is not working for all SSIS versions
I recommend using .net FILE IO libraries to get the created date which needs to be done in a Script Task.
The ForLoop approach will not let you achieve this goal.

For Each Loop: Truncation error on excel field

In my SSIS package, I'm using a WMI file watcher combined with a ForEach loop to process excel files and load them into a SQL Server database as they are deposited in a drop box folder. Recently I've been getting truncation errors on one of my fields (Comments).
I know that this is because Excel is scanning the first 8 rows to determine column length and there are several records that have a comments field that is greater than what excel determined.
I've tried going to the excel editor in my advanced editor and setting the data type length of my external and output columns to a larger length (500 W_STR vs 255 W_STR) but I get a warning saying that the data type is not valid. I've tried adding IMEX=1
to my extended properties in my excel connection string but no dice. Still getting truncation errors.
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or suggestions? I'm always getting new files so the comments field will potentially always encounter this type of error. This SSIS package runs on a production server so making a Registry change to the excel drivers
regarding the scanning of the first 8 rows is not an option for me.
Migince

I wound up making the registry change for # of rows scanned by excel and that seemed to solve the issue.
I tried utilizing an excel template but every time my for each loop scanned for a new file, the metadata was updated with whatever column length was in the first 8 records of my new file. If you've got a good example of building an excel template to set
the column length metadata in my excel source (For Each Loop) I would love to take a look at it. Good information to know.

For Each Loop Load Dynamic Excel Files

Hi All,
SSIS 2005
I want to load excel file .xls one at a time files that have different names without having to select the file in the connection manager, every time. So a user can easily place the excel file in the folder and right the sql job and it loads the file data.
The data flow tasks all work when I manually select the excel file, but I am unable to get this to work dynamically.
I have setup a for each loop with multiples data flow tasks and sql tasks to load my data from file.
Variables:
@filename d:\new file\*.xls
For Each Loop:
ForEachFile Enumerator
Folder: d:\new file\
Files: *.xls
Retrieve File Name: Fully Qualified
Variable Mappings:
User::filename (index 0)
Connection Managers:
Excel Connection Manager: Expressions, ConnectionString @[User::filename]
Error Message: Error at new buyer(package name) the connection string format is not valid. it must consist of one or more components of the form X=Y, seperated by semicolons.
Can anyone assist thanks.

You still need the file name variable.
ExcelFilePath is the fully qualified file name of your Excel file. ie. it contains both the path and file name.
e.g. D:\inbox\myExcelFile.xls
All the steps you mentioned are correct, except you need to set the property of ExcelFilePath of the Excel connection to the variable that you map to in the ForEach Loop:
Connection Managers:
Excel Connection Manager: Expressions, ExcelFilePath @[User::filename]
Hope this helps.

For Each Loop: Enumerator Configuration In the For each loop Editor Help needed

Hi All,
I have a package that runs and updates a table with everytime someone adds a flat file in the source folder. One of the requirement is to upload files with the following
ACA Flat files will have a naming convention of “ACA_ccyy_<julian date>” : How can I add this?
Under Files this is how I have setup the qualifies "ACA_*.*"
Is there anyway to pass the entire naming convention in the file section? If so how can I ?
Please help?
FM

As you have ACA_*.* set in Files Filter, it will return all the files from the folder which start with ACA_.
You can have one dummy Sequence Container inside FE Loop Container. Connect it to your starting task and do right click on Precedence Constraint and write the expression the way you want by using SSIS functions. If the expression is evaluated to True only
then it will go to the next task.
In this way you can skip Non-ACA files.

Unable to set a new value in an extended property from within a For Each Loop

Setting a new value in an extented property fails when the property is dereferenced within a For Each loop usin the item iterator. However, if you use the First or Last Iterators from the Find Targets activity works fine.
The error message is : "Setting a value for this object type is not allowed"
I believe this is a defect, can you please confirm

Looks like a bug that needs to be reported.
While we are figuring out the issue you can work around the bug.
Add another "Find Targets" inside the loop, and use the ID of the current item in the loop to find the target (again) by ID.
And then use Set Variable on the target that was just found...
I know... Not an ideal workaround, so please open a Severity 4 bug for this.

For each loop start on odd page number

Hy,
I've an rtf template with a for each loop. I want to skip a page between each loop and to start each new loop on an odd page number (duplex printing). It's easy to skip a page but i don't know how to start each loop on an odd page. i've tried this before or after my for-each
<?section:force-page-count;'end-on-even-layout'?>
but it doesn't work for me.
Sorry for my english
regards

One way of doing this is to create an object (B_1) at the end of the report and only have the object print if the current page is an odd page.
- To force the page break, you need to set the "page break before" property against "B_1".
- To test the page number in the format trigger use the srw.get_page_num(page_num out number) built-in function.
You need to make sure that "B_1" is formatted after all the other objects in the layout. One way of ensuring this is to create a frame around all the other objects and make the frame variable. Any objects that come below the frame will be formatted after the variable frame.
There is still the issue of any margin objects. Since margin objects print before any objects in the body, your margin objects will still print in the overflow page. However, this may be what you want if you're printing the page number in the margin.

For each loop container executing multiple times....

Hi,
We are using SQL SERVER version 2005.
I am having a For each loop container and inside that container there are multiple Sequence containers and inside each sequence containers there are Execute SQL Tasks (which are just stored procedures).
Now, when i run sequence containers individually they are running perfectly fine.
But when I run the whole For each loop container, it is just running and running multiple times without ending the process.
I really couldnt figure out what would be the issue?
Any ideas????
Thanks....

Hi grk666,
To check whether the values stored in the object type variable are correct, you can disable all the Sequence Containers within the Foreach Loop Container, and add a Script Task with the following code to display the string type variable value (supposing
you use the string type variable StrVar to store the value retrieved from the object variable):
MsgBox(Dts.Variables(“StrVar”).Value.ToString())
It would be helpful if you could post a screenshot to show the package execution at runtime in BIDS.

Package Help needed For each Loop container

Hello all,
I need a bit of advice, I`m a newbee to SSIS so I`m learning. Here`s what I need. I have a EDI 837 file which needs to be converted and inserted into a sql table. These are multiple files and I need to maintain them with a monthly load. So I have a source
folder where these files will be dumped. I created a Package which will grab the files process the EDI aspect inserts into the data into table. This is the story on a high level.
Here`s what I did.
Created a For each loop container.
I have a stored proc which takes in a 837 files and gets the fields what I want and it inserts it into a staging table from there I have a data flow task which pipes it into my production table.
Inside the loop first task is to exec the Stored Proc but my question is once a file is picked up from for each loop I need the file to be inserted into a table which I am referencing in my store proc. All the EDI conversion takes place in my SP and it references
the table..
My question is the For each loop container picks up the files but where does the data goes?? Can someone help me out
FM

The foreach loop container (file enumerator) only returns the filename or filepath which you can use as a parameter in an Execute SQL Task or within an expression on a connection manager (which can be used in a Data Flow). So it doesn't do anything with
the file. You have to add a task within the loop to do something with the file (Execute SQL Task/Data Flow Task/File System Task/etc.).

Excel Sheet Looping: For each loop from variable Enumerator

Hi,
Is it possible to do excel sheets looping using For each loop Enumerator as "For Each loop from Variable enumerator" ? If yes, please help.
Also,
I have an excel file with 10 sheets, but want to loop only 5 sheets. Please help..how can i achieve this.
Actually i tried with
1> stored the 5 sheets name into a variable (say 'SheetsName') of type string using script task
2> For each loop container
enumerator - 'For each ADO Schema Rowset enumerator'
connection: ADO
schema: 'Tables'
variable mapping: 'User::SheetsName'
3> Within For each loop container added a data flow task
4> Inside DFT - excel source -
Data access Mode: 'Table Name or view name variable'
Variable Name: 'SheetsName'
but this loops through all the 10 sheets irrespective of only 5 sheets names stored in the variable "SheetsName".
Please help...

>> Is it possible to do excel sheets looping using For each loop Enumerator as "For Each loop from Variable enumerator" ? If yes, please help.
I don't think so. To loop through all worksheets of Excel For ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator is the only option.
Please refer:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345182(v=sql.110).aspx
>> I have an excel file with 10 sheets, but want to loop only 5 sheets
So you have configured For Each loop container which loops throgh all sheets and returns you sheet name to variable "SheetName".
Drag and drop one Sequence Container inside ForEach Loop Container and connect it to Data Flow Task.
Right click on connector and use expression: (which will check if current sheet is one of 5 required sheets)
@User::SheetName == "FirstSheet" || @User::SheetName == "SecondSheet" || .....
