Hello Everyone!
I am new to SSIS.
I created a package which is meant to move some excel files to database, all of a similar format.
I would like the files that contain the errors were skipped by the package, but every time I run package execution stops at the wrong file, and the package fails.
Control Flow consists of a Foreach Task with Dataflow which is copying data from the sheet to database table.
The Dataflow has two outputs (constraints) one for good files and one for bad.
I simulate wrong file with zero-length file called errortest.xlsx
I've read posts that look like they describe my problem, e.g. "Ignore errors in package" - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/7b19149d-5d6c-4171-803d-fe247886df1f
but the above methods do not work in my case and I don't know why, maybe because they refer to SSIS 2005 and I am using SSIS 2008 R2.
I tried the following techniques
- Created error handler on foreach task and dataflow task level, and I have set a propagate variable to false on both of them.
- I set the ForceExecutionResult property to Success on DataFlow
- I set the ValidateExternalMetadata to false on Excel Source
Effect:
Execution stops on first wrong file turnning dataflow and foreach tasks blocks to red, package fails.
I did not set MaximumErrorCount because I want to catch them and I don't know how many files (potential errors) there will be to load.
I am stuck, any help appreciated
