I have to create a new folder every time my SSIS package is run.
I was able to do that using a new connection with ConnectionManagerType = FILE and ConnectionString = C:\Test.
I am using this connection string with a file system task that checks if the folder is already there then it will do nothing else it will create a new folder.
Every thing is running fine till here.
The issue is that now I need to create a new folder depending on the configuration selected while running the package
say if UAT is selected
then the folder name should be c:\Test_UAT, for configuration type =Development the folder name should be c:\Test_Development
Please help me achieving this.
and please be a little specific since I m very new to SSIS
U need to define the expression for the File connection Manager
1.Create a variable Configuration of data type String
2.Right Click on the File Connection Manager which you have created and select Properties
3.Click the expression and in the dialogue box select the connection string property
4.Click the expression and write the folder location
5.The File System Task will have the following configuration.In the source connection select the File connection manager which you have created
If you change the Configuration value to Test or Development ,appropriate folders will be created in the location specified above
Updated :
To add the variable in the configuration Just click on SSIS Package Configuration .Edit your configuration file .Select the variable and click the value checkbox
Once the configuration is done ,you can the change the value in the xml config file and that will get reflected in SSIS during runtime

I have an SSIS Package that as part of the process uses a File System Task to move a file to an archive folder.
The Source is a variable from a For Each Loop. The Destination is a File Connection with the connection string set to a Variable. The variable is static assigned in dev, and pulled from a package config when deployed.
Everything works in VS in the dev environment. I deploy to SQL Server and schedule with a SQL Job. Job fails. Immediately, I think it's a permissions issue but my Proxy has Modify to the destination and read on the source.
I then rewrite the package so the move file is done in a script task using system.io. Deploy that and it works with the same proxy account on the job, so it's not a permissions issue.
I'm happy it works, but want to know why it failed before.
The error I got when it failed was, "File or Directory "\destinationpath" represented by connection "archiveconnectioname" does not exist."
Has anyone any ideas?
I'm making a new SSIS package for a project. I click "New Package" and new package file under the project is made with default name Package1.dtsx. The .dtproj project file is updated to include this package. Then I rename the package to the name it's supposed to have "Publish_File.dtsx" but the .dtproj file doesn't update with this new name. Then it fails at compile time because the package I made isn't in the scope of the project and so doesn't have the project-level connection managers. I can't directly edit the .dtproj file because it doesn't have any information until it's built. Does anyone know how to change the name referenced in the .dtproj file to be my file name instead of Package1.dstx?
I have a application (. Exe) file,
At the time of running, it is asking the password to process.
My task is to run that exe file using SSIS package and pass the static password at the runtime.
Kindly help me to resolve my issue.
It is a matter of making the Arguments as an expression. In that expression you can pass the entire command line string including the password. This when you expose it via Package Configuration, it can then be made dynamic. Here is a link that shows how a SQL Server Package is used to zip a file with password which you can use to tweak for your package - SSIS: How to Compress/Zip your file using 7-Zip?
I have an SSIS package with protection level - EncryptSensitiveWithPassword and I can execute this package with in the BIDS.
While trying to deploy to file system using the Package Deployment Wizard I receive the error
The protection level of the package requires a password but the
package password property is empty
Where should I set this password? (In BIDS in the designer I have set this password and while trying to open the project it even asks me for the password) So for deployment is there a another property to set?
This error is generally caused due to the property PackagePassword being empty in your configuration. Kindly check it and if it's not set, set it.
Also change the protection level to DontSaveSensitive after opening the package using the password. Then add the packages to your solution and once you are done, make the protection level as SaveSensitiveWithPassword.
Try deploying your package with these settings.
Reference:Securing your SSIS Packages
As per the answer by user2339071, if you don't have any passwords in your connections (i.e. you use windows trusted security) then you don't actually need a password.
But, assuming you do... (perhaps you could calrify in the original question):
My understanding is that the package password is basically specified at runtime, not deployment time.
When your DTSX file exists in the file system (after deploying it or copying it there directly), then you need to execute it somehow and that's where you specify the package password.
For example if you use SQL Agent to run your package you will find a field in the job to enter that package password. If you use DTEXEC.EXE directly, there is a switch in there for your package password also.
Personally I don't use the package deployment wizard, I just copy the DTSX file to the target file location.
Set or change the protection level of the package or packages by using a command similar to the one of the following examples:
The following command sets the ProtectionLevel property of an individual package in the file system to level 2, "Encrypt sensitive with password", with the password, "strongpassword":
dtutil.exe /file "C:\Package.dtsx" /encrypt file;"C:\Package.dtsx";2;strongpassword
The following command sets the ProtectionLevel property of all packages in a particular folder in the file system to level 2, "Encrypt sensitive with password", with the password, "strongpassword":
for %f in (*.dtsx) do dtutil.exe /file %f /encrypt file;%f;2;strongpassword
If you use a similar command in a batch file, enter the file placeholder, "%f", as "%%f" in the batch file.
You can also easily set the package password by going into the 'Package Explorer' then right click on the package to go into the properties and set your protection level there.
I have an SSIS 2008 Package that imports some data and then writes out a text file to a local folder on the computer. Everything built, deployed and installed fine, and in my XML configuration file I have a property to set the location of the local folder. I also use an operating system Environment Variable to redirect the location of the XML Configuration file at run time. On my development machine I set the drop-off folder location to C:\Temp, but on the target computer I want this drop-off folder set to E:\SSIS\FileDropOff and I make that configuration setting change at install time. The setup for everything looks fine to me, configuration file looks ok, there were no warnings or errors in the validation check at install time, the Environment Variable is pointing to the right place, and the SSIS Package is installed in the SQL Server MSDB database.
The problem is when the SSIS Package runs on the target computer, it keeps writing the text file to C:\Temp. No matter what I do I can't seem to get it to write to the E:\SSIS\FileDropOff folder. It's like the SSIS Package is stuck on C:\Temp and is ignoring the the XML configuration file setting on the target machine. In the SQL Agent running the SSIS Package I even tried checking the box on the Job Step Properties screen, Data Sources tab and set the Connection String to E:\SSIS\FileDropOff and it still doesn't work.
Is there any place I could be missing where the SSIS Package is looking at C:\Temp? Could there be a cached value someplace that I am not aware of that forcing the package to stick on C:\Temp?
Thanks.
1.) Try restarting your SQL Agent Service. If I remember correctly, it caches environment variables.
2.) Try setting up a package variable and using that to set the connection string instead of the xml file directly.
I believe it's a common mistake when moving between environments (i.e., dev - test - prod) to forget to right click on your package in the new environment and select the latest XML config file. So what's happening is your package is still looking at the old XML config file. You need to right click, and choose to browse and open the one intended for the specific environment.
Make sense?
If you didn't do this you may have unintentionally overwritten your config file.
