I have created an item. There I execute a command via system.run, which gives me the name,status as a string from a Docker container.
Using preprocessing and REGEX I have separated the two values from one another. I return the second value as Value. This all works.
But now I want to bring the first parameter in the name of the item. In the docu, table it says that it worked with "$1" but not anymore. (https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/config/items/item)
But currently it is possible to include macros in the name. Maybe this is a possibility?

Disclaimer: new to SSIS and Active Directory
I have a need to extract all users within a particular Active Directory (AD) domain and import them into Excel. I have followed this: https://www.itnota.com/query-ldap-in-visual-studio-ssis/ in order to create my SSIS package. My SQL is:
LDAP://DC=JOHN,DC=JANE,DC=DOE;(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(name=a*));Name,sAMAccountName
As you know there is a 1,000 row limit when pulling from the AD. In my SQL I currently have (name=a*) to test the process and it works. I need to know how to setup a loop with variables to pull all records and import into Excel (or whatever you experts recommend). Also, how do I know what the other field names are that are available to pull?
Thanks in advance.
How do I see what's in Active Directory
Tool recommendations are off topic for the site but a tool that you can download, no install required, is AD Explorer It's a MS tool that allows you to view your domain. Highly recommend people that need to see what's in AD use something like this as it shows you your basic structure.
What's my domain controller?
Start -> Command Prompt
Type set | find /i "userdnsdomain" and look for USERDNSDOMAIN and put that value in the connect dialog and I save it because I don't want to enter this every time.
Search/Find and then look yourself up. Here I'm going to find my account by using my sAMAccountName
The search results show only one user but there could have been multiples since I did a contains relationship.
Double clicking the value in the bottom results section causes the under pane window to update with the details of the search result.
This is nice because while the right side shows all the properties associated to my account, it's also updated the left pane to navigate to the CN. In my case it's CN=Users but again, it could be something else in your specific environment.
You might discover an interesting categorization for your particular domain. At a very large client, I discovered that my target users were all under a CN
(Canonical Name, I think) so I could use that in my AD query.
There are things you'll see here that you sure would like to bring into a data flow but you won't be able to. Like the memberOf that's a complex type and there's no equivalent in the data flow data types for it. I think Integer8 is also something that didn't work.
Loop the loop
The "trick" here is that we'll need to take advantage of the
The name of the AD provider has changed since I last looked at this. In VS 2017, I see the OLE DB Provider name as "OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Directory Service"
Put in your query and you should get results back. Let that happen so the metadata is set.
An ADO.NET source does not support parameterization as the OLE DB does. However, you can apply an Expression on the Data Flow which surfaces the component and that's what we'll do.
Click out of the Data Flow and back into the Control Flow and right click on the Data Flow and select Properties. In that properties window, find Expressions and click the ellipses ... Up pops the Property Expressions Editor
Find the ADO.NET source under Property and in the Expressions section, click the Ellipses.
Here, we'll use your same source query just to prove we're doing the right things
"LDAP://DC=JOHN,DC=JANE,DC=DOE;(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(name=" + "a" + "*));Name,sAMAccountName"
We're doing string building here so the problem we're left to solve is how we can substitute something for the "a" in the above query.
The laziest route would be to
Create an SSIS variable of type String called CurrentLetter and initialize it to a
Update the expression we just created to be "LDAP://DC=JOHN,DC=JANE,DC=DOE;(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(name=" + #[USer::CurrentLetter] + "*));Name,sAMAccountName"
Add a Foreach Loop Container (FELC) to your Control Flow.
Configure the FELC with an enumerator of "Foreach Item Enumerator"
Click the Columns...
Click Add (this results in Column 0 with data type String) so click OK
Fill the collection with each letter of the alphabet
In the Variable Mappings tab, assign Variable User::CurrentLetter to Index 0
Click OK

I have two files that are named like this:
CustomerReport(08022021-08032021)
ComparingReport(08022021-08032021)
I need to load the CustomerReport to a table and the ComparingReport to another table.
I tried for each loop container but I cant think of how the expression will be to pickup the file.
Im thinking of something like Customer*.csv where the * acts like a wild card but that didnt work. What can I do in this case?
Here key of the answer is to use Foreach Loop and Conditional Split.
Don't pay attention on errors, because I don't have your CSV files and tables in DB!
Create a new variable FileName - string data type
Add foreach loop and set like on screenshot
Collection Tab:
Variable Mappings Tab:
Add Data Flow Task into Foreach Loop container
Drag elements from toolbox like on a image
Flat File Source connect to one of your CSV file using Flat File Connection Manager and on connection manager, in properties > expressions, set for ConnectionString a variable FileName
Set Conditional Split like on a image
Expression for Customer is:
LEFT(
SUBSTRING(#[User::FileName],FINDSTRING((#[User::FileName]),"Customer",1),100),
FINDSTRING(SUBSTRING(#[User::FileName],FINDSTRING((#[User::FileName]),"Customer",1),100),"Report",1) - 1
) == "Customer"
Connect Conditional Split to OLE DB Destination's
NOTE: I can't run package as I said on top of this answer, Pay attention to Conditional Split, but this is the way how you need to find if part of a string is into whole string.
Despite searching both Google and the documentation I can't figure this out:
I have a CSV file that has a header line, like this:
ID,Name,Street,City
1,John Doe,Main Street,Some City
2,Jane Done,Sideroad,Other City
Importing into FileMaker works well, except for two things:
It imports the header line as a data set, so I get one row that has an ID of "ID", a Name of "Name", etc.
It assigns the items to fields by order, including the default primary key, created date, etc. I have to manually re-assign them, which works but seems like work that could be avoided.
I would like it to understand that the header line is not a data set and that it could use the field names from the header line and match them to the field names in my FileMaker table.
How do I do that? Where is it explained?
When you import records, you have the option to select a record in the source file that contains field names (usually the first row). See #4 here.
Once you have done that, you will get the option to map the fields automatically by matching names.
If you're doing this periodically, it's best to script the action. A script will remember your choices, so you only need to do this once.
Problem.
I regularly receive a feed files from different suppliers. Although the column names are consistent the problem comes when some suppliers send text files with more or less columns in there feed file.
Furthermore the arrangement of these files are inconsistent.
Other than the Dynamic data flow task provided by Cozy Roc is there another way I could import these files. I am not a C# guru but i am driven torwards using a "Script Task" control flow or "Script Component" Data flow task.
Any suggestion, samples or direction will greatly be appreciated.

Off the top of my head, I have a 50% solution for you.
The problem
SSIS really cares about meta data so variations in it tend to result in exceptions. DTS was far more forgiving in this sense. That strong need for consistent meta data makes use of the Flat File Source troublesome.
Query based solution
If the problem is the component, let's not use it. What I like about this approach is that conceptually, it's the same as querying a table-the order of columns does not matter nor does the presence of extra columns matter.
Variables
I created 3 variables, all of type string: CurrentFileName, InputFolder and Query.
InputFolder is hard wired to the source folder. In my example, it's C:\ssisdata\Kipreal
CurrentFileName is the name of a file. During design time, it was input5columns.csv but that will change at run time.
Query is an expression "SELECT col1, col2, col3, col4, col5 FROM " + #[User::CurrentFilename]
Connection manager
Set up a connection to the input file using the JET OLEDB driver. After creating it as described in the linked article, I renamed it to FileOLEDB and set an expression on the ConnectionManager of "Data Source=" + #[User::InputFolder] + ";Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Extended Properties=\"text;HDR=Yes;FMT=CSVDelimited;\";"
Control Flow
My Control Flow looks like a Data flow task nested in a Foreach file enumerator
Foreach File Enumerator
My Foreach File enumerator is configured to operate on files. I put an expression on the Directory for #[User::InputFolder] Notice that at this point, if the value of that folder needs to change, it'll correctly be updated in both the Connection Manager and the file enumerator. In "Retrieve file name", instead of the default "Fully Qualified", choose "Name and Extension"
In the Variable Mappings tab, assign the value to our #[User::CurrentFileName] variable
At this point, each iteration of the loop will change the value of the #[User::Query to reflect the current file name.
Data Flow
This is actually the easiest piece. Use an OLE DB source and wire it as indicated.
Use the FileOLEDB connection manager and change the Data Access mode to "SQL Command from variable." Use the #[User::Query] variable in there, click OK and you're ready to work.
Sample data
I created two sample files input5columns.csv and input7columns.csv All of the columns of 5 are in 7 but 7 has them in a different order (col2 is ordinal position 2 and 6). I negated all the values in 7 to make it readily apparent which file is being operated on.
col1,col3,col2,col5,col4
1,3,2,5,4
1111,3333,2222,5555,4444
11,33,22,55,44
111,333,222,555,444
and
col1,col3,col7,col5,col4,col6,col2
-1111,-3333,-7777,-5555,-4444,-6666,-2222
-111,-333,-777,-555,-444,-666,-222
-1,-3,-7,-5,-4,-6,-2
-11,-33,-77,-55,-44,-666,-222
Running the package results in these two screen shots
What's missing
I don't know of a way to tell the query based approach that it's OK if a column doesn't exist. If there's a unique key, I suppose you could define your query to have only the columns that must be there and then perform lookups against the file to try and obtain the columns that ought to be there and not fail the lookup if the column doesn't exist. Pretty kludgey though.
Our solution. We use parent child packages. In the parent pacakge we take the individual client files and transform them to our standard format files then call the child package to process the standard import using the file we created. This only works if the client is consistent in what they send though, if they try to change their format from what they agreed to send us, we return the file.
Is there a way i can get a json of all the changes in gerrit code review?
for example get all the merged changes from gerrit.aokp.co? It would be even better if i could get the changes from the previous day only.
You can use the query command on the ssh command line, adding the --format json option to get the data in JSON format.
To get merged changes use the status:merged query operator.
There is no query operator to get changes within a specific time range, but you can use the age operator to specify an amount of time passed since the change was last updated.
For example to get all changes merged within the last day:
$ ssh -p 29418 user#review gerrit query --format json status:merged age:1day
Note that by default this will return a limit of 500 results. To see more, you need to either increase the limit (if you're an administrator) or use multiple queries making use of the --resume_sortkey option.
See the documentation for more details:
