I have an SSIS package that creates and populates an excel sheet, it creates the sheet from a template file.
I want to check the Excel file by "startdate",if a new product to be added, must this new product be deleted. and then send a warning e-mail
thanks
Is "Start Date" held on a database somewhere? If so you could read this value using an "Execute SQL task" or "Lookup" and store the value as a variable.
A "Conditional split" could then compare the date with that coming from the flat file. If the Start Date in the file is later than your stored value then output this data to a flat file/alternate database.
In a separate data flow task check for records in the flat file/alternate database.
If there are records then send an email with the flat file data as an attachment.

I have a SSIS package - which within a FOR LOOP CONTAINER I look in a particular location, for a particular file format and import it into a database.
This is working fine - when I have two files the contents of both files are being imported.
So I have a Variable Mapping under my ForLoop which records the fully qualified name. What I want to do is when I import the file is I am also recording the file path of where it has come from.
I'm unsure in my dataflow task where I would put that ? Under the data flow I have my source file and a destination.
I tried to have a sql task after the data flow that updated the field in the database with the variable (via Parameter Mapping), but that set the field to the same value for everything (the last file path found) which is not what I'm after.
Any advice would be welcome
In your dataflow task, in between your source and destination add a Derived Column transformation. This will add columns to your dataset with a name and value that you specify. If you reference variables in which you are storing the file name for your loop container, the name of the file being accessed will be appended to an additional column in your dataset. Obviously you need to make sure that this column is present in your destination table.
I have a report where I have added a data driven subscription that writes the report to a folder location on a daily schedule. The report is rendered as csv. the file name comes as MyReport1234.csv.
I need this to be Myreport1234.txt. How can I do this in SSRS?
I use SSRS 2008 R2 btw
found a solution for this:
Create a data driven subcscription
on Step 3, just write SELECT 1 or if you're trying to generate a dynamic file you could embed the logic for this in your select statement and give it an alias like SELECT 'Myreport1234.txt' as [FileName]
on Step 4, either Specify a static file name, or get the value from the database using the column "FileName" which you created in the previous step.
set the Render Format to CSV
This is the important step >> File Extension must be set to False. This will stop the renderer from adding the default extension for the renderer of your choice. leaving whatever thats on the filename to appear as the file extension.
i have a scenario to create SSIS package Load different excel files in a folder to different SQL table with file name as table name, can any one help me
Thanks
If All Sheets have same columns ,
a)Get List of Execelfile paths and destination server and table name into object variable
b) Get object record through foreach loop
c) Give Excel filepath variable in input expression and server ,table info at destination expression
each file will be loaded to corresponding table
I was wondering if anyone could help me with getting the excel (source) filename on my destination database in ssis. The database table has a column called filename (which is equal to the excel filename). Having the filename will help me with my audits. Note: I'm not a vb script person but if vb is the only way out, I'll appreciate sample script as I would have to use that in my logic. Thanks
You can use a "Derived Column" component and add a new column that contains the wanted property. I guess that you want to add a derived column that will store the "FileName" or "ConnectionString" property of your Excel Connection.
I would recommend saving the file as a CSV for multiple reasons. If it is a CSV file, you could create a flat file source for it. Then right click on the item and go to "Show Advanced Editor..." Click on the "Component Properties" tab and go to "Custom Properties" at the bottom. There is a field caled "FileNameColumnName." For the value, put the name of what column you want to store the file name in. Then, the that field will be available for your destination.

I have a source folder which contains 4 csv files with different no of columns in each of the file. I need to fetch only 3 columns(metadata same this 3 columns in all the 4 files) from each csv and load the columns inside Raw Destination from all the files avaiable in source folder. And Raw destination Output file name has to be like wht the inputfilename we are fetching + time stamp.
And at next level, i need to fetch this output raw as raw source and insert this records into oledb destination . and the destination table also has to be in dynamic.
for example i have 4 csv files called, test1.csv(10 columns). test2.csv(8), test3.csv(6), test4.csv(10) along with time stamps.
all this 4 files has columns position_id, asofdate, sumassured in common, now i want to load only these 3 columns to raw destination. If i load test1.csv then my raw destination outputfile name has to be RW_test1_20120119_222222.RW. similalrly if i load second file its filename as raw destination output..
Thanks

As always, decompose your problems until you've got it into a something you can manage.
Processing CSVs via queries
Following the two questions and answers below will result in a package with an OLEDB Connection Manager configured to operate on CSVs in the folder #[User::InputFolder]. 3 variables CurrentFileName, InputFolder and Query have been defined with an expression set on Query.
The expression for your #[User::Query] would look like "SELECT position_id, asofdate, sumassured FROM " + #[User::CurrentFileName]

SSIS Task for inconsistent column count import?
At this point, your package should resemble the center piece below. Verify you can correctly enumerate all of the CSVs in the folder and the OLEDB query piece works.
RAW files
I'm not an expert on RAW file usage so there may be better ways of interacting with them. This will use the fourth variable, RawFileName. Set an expression on it like #[User::InputFolder] + "RawFile.raw" which would result in the file being written to C:\ssisdata\so\satishkumar\RawFile.raw
My general approach is to have a dataflow with a script task that sends no rows into a RAW File Destination.
Configure your destination as
Access mode: File name from variable
Variable name: User::RawFileName
Write option: Create Always
Process CSVs
The concept here is to append all the data into the RAW file that was created in the initial step.
Your source should already be configured as
OLE DB connection manager: FlatFile
Data access mode: SQL command from variable
Variable name: User::Query
Configure your destination as
Access mode: File name from variable
Variable name: User::RawFileName
Write option: Append
Extract from RAW
At this point, the foreach enumerator has completed and all the data has been loaded into the staging file. Now it is time to consume that and send data on to the destination.
Drag a Raw File Source Transformation onto your data flow. Unsurprisingly, you will configure as
Access mode: File name from variable
Variable name: User::RawFileName
Instead of Simulate destination, wire it up to the correct data destination.
Caveat
Be careful when using an expression with GETDATE/GETUTCDATE to define filenames as they are constantly evaluated. In 2005, we had used FileName_HHMMSS and had issues because processing didn't complete in the same second between the creation of a file and the next task that consumed the file. Instead, I have had better success using a dynamic but fixed starting point and generally, that is the system variable, StartTime #[System::StartTime]
You can use ForEach Loop Container on the Control Flow Diagram to iterate txt and csv files.
