Using an ssis variable object as a data source in a foreach loop container

hi we run 2012 std.  I have an ssis var of type object that is hydrated from a dynamic query in an execute sql task.  I can count on one thing in this object and that is that ID will always be the first "col" on each "row". 
Otherwise, resultset can contain a variety of things based on params passed to this sub pkg.
I'd like to introduce a for each loop on this object and tap into index 0, ie the id column.  
The first question is "will I be able to parse this object's id in a for each component?".
In the for each loop container properties, I c an item enumerator, ado enumerator, ado.net schema rowset and variable enumerator as enumerator choices.  Which do I want if the answer to the 1st question is yes?

hoping 2 avoid a data flow.  I wonder if what u r saying is that I cannot use an felc to do this.  Or if u r showing one of many alternatives.
Sorry, bad title.  I just changed that.
I just tried foreach from variable enumerator and aborted with a message that said my variable "coll" doesn't have an enumerator.  Going 2 try some of the other choices.
I just tried ado enumerator and from what I can c it isn't actually iterating thru my resultset even once. 
I just tried a foreach item enumerator giving "column 0" a data type that matches my ID but from what I can tell the component isn't iterating thru my collection. 
ado.net schema rowset doesn't look inviting at all in that it looks like it wants to go back to the db.  Not what I had in mind having already gotten this resultset into memory.
according to this article u r supposed to be able to do this using ado enumerator

  • How can I load a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

    I know I've REALLY struggled with this before. I just don't understand why this has to be soooooo difficult.
    I can very easily do a straight Data Pump of a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a normal Excel Connection and a normal Excel Source...simply converting Unicode to DT_STR and then using an OLE DB Destination of the SQL Server Table.
    If I want to make the SSIS Package a little more flexible by allowing multiple .xlsX spreadsheets to be pumped in by using a Foreach Loop Container, the whole SSIS Package seems to go to hell in a hand basket. I simply do the following...
    Put the Data Flow Task within the Foreach Loop Container
    Add the Variable Mapping Variable User::FilePath that I defined as a Variable and a string within the FOreach Loop Container
    I change the Excel Connection and its Expression to be ExcelFilePath ==> @[User::FilePath]
    I then try and change the Excel Source and its Data Access Mode to Table Name or view name variable and provide the Variable Name User::FilePath
    And that's when I run into trouble...
    Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
    Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occured. Error code: 0x80004005.
    Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]: Opening a rowset for "...(the EXACT Path and .xlsx File Name)...". Check that the object exists in the database. (And I know it's there!!!)
    I don't understand by adding a Foreach Loop Container to try and make this as efficient as possible has caused such an error unless I'm overlooking something. I have even tried delaying my validations and that doesn't seem to help.
    I have looked hard in Google and even YouTube to try and find a solution for this but for the life of me I cannot seem to find anything on pumping a .xlsX file into SQL Server using a Foreach Loop Container.
    Can ANYONE please help me out here? I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work. I think the last time I was in this quandry, trying to pump a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS, I actually wrote a C# Script
    to write the contents of the .xlsX File into a .csv File and then Actually used the .csv File to pump the data into a SQL Server Table.
    Thanks for your review and am hoping and praying for a reply and solution.

    Hi ITBobbyP,
    If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
    If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
    The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
    Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
    Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
    Schema: Tables.
    In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
    The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
    Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.

  • ForEach Loop Container Mapping Variable From SSIS Package Not Working In SQL-Server StoredProcedure

    I have an SSIS package that uses a ForEach Loop Container to enumerate Excel Files in a dir. I also have a Task Flow that inserts data from those Excel files into SQL-Server.
    Im trying to insert the file names into a column into the same table in SQL-Server by using a mapping variable in my StoredProcedure.
    Im having trouble with my MappingVariable at the end of the script with red squigglies. The following is my StoredProcedure script.
    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Insert_F_STG_v2]

  • SSIS Package to load multiple excel sheets using foreach loop container

    I am creating a SSIS package which is accessing an excel file and then using a Foreach loop container to load each tab to sql server. However when I try to configure the Excel source, I get the following message
    "The argument system_comobject cannot be converted into parameter type. Additional Information - Object must implement iconvertible (mscorlib)"
    Any help to resolve would be much appreciated.
    thanks
    Scott

    If the title is only using column D and the rest of the columns are empty on sheet1/row1
    AND
    if only sheet1 as headers,
    THEN you can try something like the following
    do NOT select row 1 as header or anything.
    In your foreachloop > dataflow, you will start with EXCEL connection then Conditional Split inside which you will define one case for which expression should be like If column D has value like "Title expression" && Column A == "Column A Header
    name" THEN yay or nay. You might want to look into
    FINDSTRING function to assist with this (if you choose to use FINDSTRING, you are looking for !isNull for this case..If it finds the string you are looking for, it will pass an int value (title + header) if it doesn't find the string, it will pass
    NULL (data)) or you can say If Column A, B, C,E,F,G...is NULL and D is NOT NULL && Column A = Column A Header string, then Case 1 else default.
    The default output would be the real data.
    So when sheet 1 is processing, you will have Case 1 output with 2 rows (title + header) and Default output with the rest of the rows (real data).
    For other sheets, you will have Case 1 output with 0 rows (no title + header) and Default output with the data rows.
    The above sln assumes that the data in each sheet is similar in datatypes and length perspective, you have defined input/output datatypes properly, and etc.

  • SQL Agent Job failing - not using credentials in the config file for Data source

    Hi
    We have an SSIS pkg, that is secheduled as SQL Agent job using proxy account. The pkg contanins data source for connecting different SQL servers and the proxy account do not have access to the external DBs. The data source credentials are stored in the Config
    file.
    Why the job is not using the credentials in the config file and try to use the proxy account and failing.
    Do the proxy account need access to all the external dbs in the pkg, and then what is the purpose of the config file.
    I am sorry, i am not SSIS person trying to understand. If any one can explain tha will be great!!

  • Strange issue with rights of account, used by SSIS (Foreach Loop Container does not return file names without Admin rights on server)

    Hello everyone.
    Faced very strange issue with account, which is used to run SSIS package.
    The specific package uses Foreach Loop Container to retrieve file names within the specified folder, and put them into Import file task.
    The package is set up to run under specific service account. This service account is given all permissions (Full control) to the folder where source files reside.
    So the issue is: SSIS package fails to execute this task (Foreach Loop Container and then Import), and shows that no files are found in the directory (although files ARE there).
    Once we're adding the service account into local Administrators group on the SQL Server, it works! Removing - does not work again. We cannot leave the service account as SQL server's admin as it's prohibited by our IT policies, and is just a bad practice.
    Any ideas, please?

  • SSIS 2008 R2 Foreach Loop Container on ADO object in Endless Loop

    SSIS 2008 R2
    I have an object Variable populated by a SQL Query.  I then attach it to a Foreach Loop Container with "Foreach ADO Enumerator" and define the variable mappings.  Inside the Foreach Loop is a series of tasks.  It appears that the
    tasks are processing each of the rows in the Object but it also appears that the Foreach loop never stops but runs until I kill it.  I was under the impression that the Foreach loop would stop when after the last row in the Object was consumed. 
    As it is now, the Foreach Loop is useless as it runs forever. 
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Michael
    P.S.   I have determined that the ADO object has a size or count limitation which if exceeded causes the Foreach Loop task to malfunction in both Studio and as an Agent job.  I could not find a limit in MS docs, but there sure seems to be
    a limit somewhere which everyone should be aware of.  5,000 rows exceeds the limit, in my case.

    A typical memory limit rather, especially noticeable in dev env where it is 32 bit

  • Is it possible to load multiple .xlsx files into a SQL Server Table using SSIS and a Foreach Loop Container when each Excel spreadsheet is comprised of two different worksheets

    So we have an Invoice .xlsx File from a 3rd party vendor. It contains two worksheets..."Enrolled" and "Engaged". The data and data columns in each worksheet is different. Is it possible to loop through multiple .xlsx files using SSIS
    and a Foreach Loop Container for each spreadsheet, and then another Foreach Loop Container to control each worksheet, and pump the Excel data into a SQL Server Table first for "Enrolled" and then for "Engaged"? How can I control the Foreach
    Loop Container in SSIS to process ONLY the "Enrolled" worksheet first? And then the "Engaged" worksheet next?
    I know I have multiples out here and I apologize for that...but right now it seems as though I take three steps forward and then two back.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    If the structure of the Excel sheets does not change from file to file then you can by having one ForEach Loop processing always the "Enrolled" sheet and another always the "Engaged" this is doable because the Excel OLEDB connector allows
    to pick individual sheets, it is problematic therefore when sheet names themselves change.
    MSDN has an example: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/ms345182.aspx

  • SSIS Variable Expression not Picking Up the value dynamically set from a Foreach Loop container

    Hello, everyone,
    I have three variables in my SSIS package:
    1) ReportLoc that holds a file path (c:\test, not changed)
    2) ReportFileName that holds a file name that get assigned in a Foreach Loop container (file1, file2, etc.)
    3) OutputFilePath that is the full file pathname, set in the expression: @[User::LocalPath] + "\\" +  @[User::ReportFileName]
    All three variable have the package scope.
    I expect OutputFilePath will be asigned values like c:\test\file1, c:\test\file2, etc.
    However, it alwasy remains an empty string.
    Anything I did wrong? Any help and information is greatly appreciated.
    Regards 

    That's it -- I forgot to set Evaluate as Expression to true.
    Thank you very much for your reply and solution! Really appreciate it!

  • Using an Excel file as a dynamic data source? Opinions needed...

    I have posted this topic before, but as always; in order to get the relevant correct answer you have to ask the correct question.
    I'm trying to create a number of Pricelists linked to an Excel/CSV file. I have a Excel file that contains Pricelist information which is Product specific.
    I have had a number of suggestion that follow:
    A direct link to the Excel file. PROs: Excel file can be uploaded on FTP and overwritten if (and when) amended. Linking this is easy peasy in Dreamweaver. Person browsing can download info straight away on request - no hassle. CONs: Simply, not everyone has Excel and those who don't can not access the information.
    Import Excel file as tabular data. PROs: Fairly easy to do in Dreamweaver. Person browsing can see info straight away. CONs: Can be time consuming on larger Excel files. NOT amendable (so a number of price changes becomes a big job). Can't simply overwrite Excel file on FTP. Larger Excel files can take a lot of page space and thus require tonnes of scrolling).
    Use the Excel file as a dynamic data source. --Not entirely sure how I would go about doing this (any suggestions/links/tutorials etc)-- PROs: ? CONs: Contributor added this suggestion is not a good idea as it performs poorly on the web.
    Create a dynamic page using a database and import the Excel file to that....or maintain the price list in the database rather than an Excel file. --Again not entirely sure how I would go about doing this (any suggestions/links/tutorials etc)-- My understanding of this option is that it will require XML data and SPRY work. Is this correct? Can this be someone who is not an advanced user?
    If once again, I'm off the mark and better suggestions can be thought - please do so.
    As you can see I'm at a bit of a crossroads so an suggestions, comment, help, links, tutorials or applause would be greatly received.
    Thanks in advance and looking forward to seeing the comments this throws up!

    Hi
    Although not everyone has excel just about everyone can open csv files in some way, if not offer the option to download "open office" which is free for the pc, as for the mac they have a program installed by default to use csv files.
    The import tabular data is not really an option for the reasons stated.
    Use excel as data source - not a good idea, requires asp.net to work correctly otherwise it does run slow and is not recommended if you are expecting more than a very small number of users.
    As for the dynamic with database, this can be done with xml and spry but if you have a large amount of data this is almost as bad as the option above. You are probably better creating a database and importing your excel spreadsheet into this, for tutorials on creating a php/mysql database and set-up of testing server see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/application_development.html.
    No matter which way you go with the last option it will require a fair amount of knowledge and experience to do correctly, efficiently and securely.

  • [Forum FAQ] How to calculate the total count of insert rows within a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

    Introduction
    We need to loop through all the flat files that have the same structure in a folder and import all the data to a single SQL Server table. How can we obtain the total count of the rows inserted to the destination SQL Server table?
    Solution
    We can use Execute SQL Task or Script Task to aggregate the row count increment for each iteration of the Foreach Loop Container. The following steps are the preparations before we add the Execute SQL Task or Script Task:
    Create a String type variable FilePath, two Int32 type variables InsertRowCnt and TotalRowCnt.
    Drag a Foreach Loop Container to the Control Flow design surface, set the Enumerator to “Foreach File Enumerator”, specify the source folder and the files extension, and set the “Retrieve file name” option to “Fully qualified”.
    On the “Variable Mappings” tab of the container, map the variable FilePath to the collection value.
    Drag a Data Flow Task to the container, in the Data Flow Task, add a Flat File Source, a Row Count Transformation, and an OLE DB Destination, and join them. Create a Flat File Connection Manager to connect to one of the flat files, and then configure the
    Flat File Source as well as the OLE DB Destination adapter. Set the variable for the Row Count Transformation to “User::InsertRowCnt”.
    Open the Property Expressions Editor for the Flat File Connection Manager, and set the expression of “ConnectionString” property to
    “@[User::FilePath]”.
    (I) Execute SQL Task Method:
    In the Control Flow, drag an Execute SQL Task under the Data Flow Task and join them.
    Create one or using any one existing OLE DB Connection Manager for the Execute SQL Task, set the “ResultSet” option to “Single row”, and then set the “SQLStatement” property to:
    DECLARE @InsertRowCnt INT,
                   @TotalRowCnt INT
    SET @InsertRowCnt=?
    SET @TotalRowCnt=?
    SET @TotalRowCnt=@InsertRowCnt+@TotalRowCnt
    SELECT TotalRowCnt=@TotalRowCnt
    On to parameter 1. 
    On the “Result Set” tab of the Execute SQL Task, map result 0 to variable “User::TotalRowCnt”.
    (II) Script Task Method:
    In the Control Flow, drag a Script Task under the Data Flow Task and join them.
    In the Script Task, select variable InsertRowCnt for “ReadOnlyVariables” option, and select variable TotalRowCnt for “ReadWriteVariables”.
    Edit the Main method as follows (C#):
    public void Main()
    // TODO: Add your code here
    int InsertRowCnt = Convert.ToInt32(Dts.Variables["User::InsertRowCnt"].Value.ToString()
    int TotalRowCnt = Convert.ToInt32(Dts.Variables["User::TotalRowCnt"].Value.ToString());
    TotalRowCnt = TotalRowCnt + InsertRowCnt;
    Dts.Variables["User::InsertRowCnt"].Value = TotalRowCnt;
    Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
              Or (VB)
              Public Sub Main()
            ' Add your code here
            Dim InsertRowCnt As Integer =        
            Convert.ToInt32(Dts.Variables("User::InsertRowCnt").Value.ToString())
            Dim TotalRowCnt As Integer =
            Convert.ToInt32(Dts.Variables("User::TotalRowCnt").Value.ToString())
            TotalRowCnt = TotalRowCnt + InsertRowCnt
            Dts.Variables("User::TotalRowCnt").Value = TotalRowCnt
            Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
           End Sub

    Kenny_I

    Hi Kenny_I,
    The issue occurs because you have not specified a valid value for the variable @FileName. The error persists even if we set the “DelayValidation” property of the Excel Connection Manager to True. After you assign a value like “C:\Excel\Test1.xlsx” (without
    quotes) to the variable, the package should work fine.

  • SSIS: ForEach Loop Container Enumerates Same File

    Trying to loop an Excel Directory.  Have it in a ForEach Loop Container.  It keeps looping the same file the amount of times the file pattern recognized; i.e  Loop starts at report with 10 lines, there are 7 files that need looped...How
    do I get it to loop all the files that need enumerated rather than just the default file path in the connection string?

    I have both path and file in foreach loop container...How many variables should I be using in my case?  I have one (ExcelInput) declared in the foreach loop container and passing to Excel Connection string expression.
    Hi jsorrisone,
    One SSIS variable is enough in your scenario. In the Foreach Loop Container, we set the Enumerator to “Foreach File Enumerator”, specify the path of the source folder, keep the “Retrieve file name” option as “Fully qualified”, and store the full path of
    the Excel file to the string type variable ExcelInput.
    Then, add a Data Flow Task to the Foreach Loop Container, drag an Excel Source, create an Excel Connection Manager. After that, set the expressions for the Excel Connection Manager, and set the expression of “ExcelFilePath” property to @[User::ExcelInput].

  • Foreach Loop Container with a Data Flow Task looking for file from Connection Manager

    So I have a Data Flow Task within a Foreach Loop Container. The Foreach Loop Container has a Variable Mapping of User:FileName to pass to the Data Flow Task.
    The Data Flow Task has a Flat File Source since we're looking to process .csv Files. And the Flat File Source has a Flat File Connection Manager where I specified the File name when I created it. I thought you needed to do this even though it won't really
    use it since it should be getting its File name from the Foreach Loop Container. But when attempting to execute, it is blowing up because it seems to be looking for my test file name that I indicated in the Flat File Connection Manager rather than the file
    it should be trying to process in User:FileName from the Foreach Loop Container.
    What am I doing wrong here??? I thought you needed to indicate a File name within the Flat File Connection Manager even though it really won't be using it.
    Thanks for your review...I hope I've been clear...and am hopeful for a reply.

    The Flat File Connection manager's Connection String needs to be set to reference the variable used in the ForEach Loop:

  • Use a external parameter in a foreach loop container

    Hi
    I use a parameter P1 in a package
    This package contains also a foreach loop container including a parameter P2 (P1 is on outside of the foreach loop container)
    In this foreach loop container, I need to insert into a table T1 the parameter P1 and P2 from an execute sql task :
    INSERT INTO T1 (F1, F2) VALUES (?,?)
    My question : how to access to the P1 parameter in the container ?
    Thx for your help

    I assume when you say parameter its in term of USER Variables defined in packages if yes then its essentially a scope thing, just define the scope of variable to outside and you should be able to access it.
    If you mean P1 is something you assign from the Foreach look then assign then store this parameter as variable then assign the variable as you want to use it.
