I'm new to SSIS, how can I get the Excel FileName that I'm trying to upload and assign it to a variable for later usage?
I've tried to do some research but I didn't get anything helpful.
Try using a Foreach Loop container:
Set the enumerator to Foreach File enumerator
Point it towards the folder where your excel file is located
tell it to look for .xls or .xlsx files
On Variable Mappings, create a variable called FileName
Obviously if you have more than one file in there, it will only give you the last file name.

i'm try to parse logs from windows folder in Zabbix, but everyday creates a new directory like "2022_03_15" and log files in her, how parse a new name directory?
log["C:\Windows\Temp\app\web\0\Log\YYYY_MM_DD\Application.log"]
The logrt item would come closest but reading https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/config/items/itemtypes/zabbix_agent#supported-item-keys
It notes:
file_regexp - absolute path to file and the file name described by a regular expression. Note that only the file name is a regular expression
So, sadly, this is not possible yet.
You could try to work around this by first using a list to find the latest directory and use lld to create a new log item when that is needed. For these cases it is a pity that the file and location are part of the item key.
I have an SSIS package that looks through excel files with a date at the end of each file. I have watched many vidoes but can't find an answer. If I move the "original file" that I used with the connection manager(see link for screenshot) the package fails to complete with "Error: The GetEnumerator method of the ForEach Enumerator has failed with error 0x80004005 "Unspecified error". This occurs when the ForEach Enumerator cannot enumerate." If I then put the file back to the correct place it works again. My question is do I have to have the file there forever? Is there no way to do this and it not look for that file to exist?
You are using static file names. If you are OK with using static file names, then you will have to have some other process update that file periodically. However, if you want to be more dynamic where the process loops over multiple files, then in the ForEachLoop Enumerator, you just set the following settings:
Note: using *.xlsx is the method for getting any file with the extension of xlsx.
You then map the file path to a variable:
You then set your Connection Manager's ConnectionString property to the file path:
I am looking for some help on how to create a trailer record in a flat file using SSIS, I have create a SSIS package that creates a custom header and loads other record from the database into the flat file, it is a fixed width flat file. Now at the end of the file I want to create a Trailer Record along with some static text and Record count. I tried looking on to google but could not get any good example. Any help is much appreciated.
Use a Script Task. Take the file path of the fixed width flat file that you have obtained as a input variable. Once withing the script task use the .Net coding to append the data that you need. I have written a post on it - https://karbimantras.wordpress.com/2016/08/12/adding-record-count-to-flat-file/
I have a series of folders that all have files I need linked to the database (via there file path). One option I could do is manually insert all the file paths into my database, however, this can be painful as the number of folders will keep increasing and manual uploading will take too much time.
Is there a way to write a ruby helper function that will search these folders and automatically add the path to the files into a column in my database?
All the file paths have a recognizable pattern, for example:
Tel/a_1/poi1/names.csv
Tel/a_2/poi1/names.csv
Tel/a_3/poi1/names.csv
I need a function that will occupy a field in my database with the path of each of these names.csv files. Very new to ruby and rails, so any help is greatly appreciated. Also, please let me know if anything is unclear.
Something like this should give u all the filenames in the folder, for you to manipulate:
Dir["Tel/**/**/*.csv].each do |file|
* update attribute of your model with the path of the file
end
Read about the Dir object too.
Thats a example to get all files.
Dir["Tel/a_*/poi1/names.csv"] return a Array with path about all files.
Is there a way to read data from an external data sheet like excel, Text file etc. in eggPlant?
When running the same script for various set of Input parameters this would prove useful for me instead of hardcoding the values..

Since this is the most viewed Eggplant question, I'll give it a more robust answer.
Yes! Using data from a data file is a fantastic way to parameterize your test without hardcoding!
Saving Data
To do so, you have to save your data in .csv or .txt format, within the Suite's Resources directory. This allows you to open and interact it from within Eggplant Functional.
Importing Data
In your script, you can reference these data files with just their filename, for example,
put ResourcePath("myData.txt") into FilePath
will save the entire file myData.txt from the Resources directory into a variable FilePath.
Accessing Data
You can then access each row of that file like any other file.
put line 1 of file FilePath into Name
put line 2 of file FilePath into DOB
If you save your data as a .csv, you can specify a row and column of a specific piece of data.
put item 2 in line 1 of file FilePath into Last_Name
Read more about reading files in the Eggplant Documentation!
For more complicated resource files, read this page in the Eggplant Documentation!
1. Enter the data in the excel sheet and save it as a CSV file.
2. Piece of code:
repeat with theData= each line of file "D:\TestData.csv"
log item 1 of theData
end repeat
