In file System task there is no option to rename a folder.The option is to rename file.
I do understand we can achieve renaming of multiple fils using a for each loop and file system task.
Is there any wayto rename a folder and all it's sub folder using any of the tasks in ssis
File System Task is the tool you want. A Move Directory is the same as a Rename.
Configure it as such. I prefer variables as it makes my packages cleaner
You could of course get the same results by running an Execute Task command and using the rename command
Renames a file or files.
RENAME [drive:][path]filename1 filename2. REN [drive:][path]filename1
filename2.
Note that you cannot specify a new drive or path for your destination
file.
Finally, if you just like making things hard, you could use a Script Task and leverage the System.IO.Directory's Move method but on behalf of everyone who has to maintain novel approaches to solving problems, just use the File System Task

Is there an easy way to move a file to a different folder in dbt Cloud, without having to create a new file of the same name in the new folder, copy/paste from the old file, and delete the old file, which is a pain.
Is there a good reason I should NOT do this? I assume my refs still work as long as the filename remains the same, and I don't have any specific folder logic tied to this file.
For example, say I have my_model.sql in my 'staging' folder and I want to simply move it to my 'mart' folder instead. In this example I'd like to do this to reflect that my file is really a more 'stable' mart-type table file vs a staging view. I realize I can just change the materialization type, but I'm doing this more to organize things clearly. Thanks!
The way to move a file in the cloud IDE for dbt is not 100% obvious. You can use the rename function to move a file to another location.
Click on the drop down next to the file name, then select "Rename." That will open a file path and you can change where the file lives from there by typing in the new folder's name.
The easiest way I have found to do this is...not using DBT Cloud, but using github desktop (no command line needed).
Create a new branch
Open repository in github
View files in your file explorer
Move files or directory locally
Upload to github
Push to origin for the branch you created
Open a pull request
Merge
Depending on what the file or directory is you may find the creating a new branch and opening PR to be overkill. For my specific project there is a lot of legacy organization and models that we aren't totally sure don't have downstream dependencies, so creating a new branch for this allowed me to test run all of our models.
Hope this helps!
I have quite a few archives that I need to test.
Archives are in parent folders with many sub folders.
I am a Windows 10/11 user.
I have used 7z file manager easy enough, checks a folder for me and reports all good except for xx failed.
Then I have to manually hunt for the failed archive and move it somewhere to look at it at a later date for repair if possible or deletion.
What I would like to know if possible to do the following.
Test the archives .zip/.7z/.rar
If archive is bad, add prefix to file name bad_
Move bad_ archive to another folder.
Then I can make plans for the moved files repair or delete.
cheers.
I have an SSIS package which pulls in a CSV file for processing which pulls one file for the source \\server\dash\LABORDERS.CSV and is working fine.
We wanted to keep older files for historic purposes so everyday there will be new files instead of just overwriting the old one and it looks like this:
I know I am suppose to add a script task but I am not sure where to add it and how to invoke it so that the source file is always looking in the folder for the latest file and using that file to transfer data to it's sql destination.
How can I achieve it?
What have you tried? You can could create a script task at the start of your control flow that uses the .NET framework filesystem objects to search a directory and get the file with the most recent timestamp. You could then assign that file name to a SSIS Variable, then use that variable in your file connection manager.
Source code: vb.net
We are using File.Move() method to move the file from source to destination locaion.
But the destination location is being monitored by one tool, whenever we are moving files to the destination location, it will pick up the file and process it. The issue here when we try to move huge volume file like around 5GB file, the tool is immediately picking up the file and try to process it before the move operation is complete and send failure notice to all the users.. After again successfully moving the file completely, it picks up the same and process it sucessfully this time and send successful notice this time.
We can't have control over the tool which is monitoring the destination folder because it is a third party tool. However we want to find out the alternative option to place a lock over the destination foler like ReadWrite access till the move operation completes so that 3rd party will not be able to pick up or try to access that file.
Pls help us.
Not sure if it works, but you might be able to make the following work with directories as well:
FileOpen(1, "c:\file.ext", OpenMode.Binary)
Lock(1)
'Do something with file here
Unlock(1)
FileClose(1)
Reference and example here
I hope it helps.
First, I agree with #hometoast, sometimes tools like this just look for specific file extensions so you can copy in with a different file extension and then rename.
But barring that, download the file to a temp location and then Move the file into the dir getting watched. A Move does not recopy the file contents but just updates its pointers in the filesystem. Should be atomic.
I'm new to MSBuild and I tried reading up on several sources on the net but I'm missing somet things..
Here's what I want:
A build task that on execution recursively copies a directory structure from a (hardcoded/configured) path on my machine to a set of projects in the solution
Then compiles (release/debug, I guess I can make two sets of them)
Preferably this process would be called when I press f5 in VS and is selectable from the release/debug dropdown (with a different name off course).
What I don't get yet:
Where do I place my .proj file? In my root (where my sln file is)?
How can I make VS pick it up (bind it to f5).
Look at the Copy Task examples on how to copy a file structure recursively.
