How to pass variables defined in SSIS as parameters to SSIS Process task that runs a bat file.
In the bat file the user name and password would be replaced with %1 argument and input will be passed from the script task that will receive input from a .NET front-end.
Please do help with screenshots if possible
Thanks
In the script task, write the value to a SSIS variable.
In the Exec Process task, modify the Arguments expression, to pass the variable into the task
There is a screenshot on this thread How to execute a Process Task where the Executable path comes from a user Variable

I'm trying to use a variable that I have defined in a release Task and then pull that value into a Gate step. It's just a simple pipeline to demonstrate some integration with ServiceNow.
After a Build, a release is kicked off. The code is automatically copied to the "test" environment.
The Next step is a Power-Shell script that will create a Change Request in ServiceNow. I am able to create the CR and then parse the json that is returned to capture the Change Request Number. I use the following command to save the CR Number in the last line of the Power-Shell:
Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=crnumber]$crnumber
In the next step I use an extension to save the variables out to a JSON file.
Then for debugging I have a Power-Shell step that reads the CR variable.
It produces this output in the logs

After that I set up Post Deployment conditions. 1 approval (me), and then another Extension that will query ServiceNow for the "Ready to Implement" State.
Note if I enter the CR Number (CHG0417736) is does work as expected. But I would like to use the $crnumber variable.
What am I missing here? Unfortunately I can't just add the Power-Shell Task here to try and debug the variable
I am trying to run a Transformation/Job by passing a user variable in command line.
I have tried by passing variable value as below.
sh pan.sh -file='test.ktr' '-param:input_directory=/path/to/directory' -level=basic
where input_directory is variable in transformation and i mentioned it as ${input_directory}
But when I do this, the pan is unable to find the variable value. It is throwing error as below
Could not list the contents of "file:///home/user1/pdi8.1/data-integration8.1/${input_directory}" because it is not a folder.
can someone help me on this. Thank you
To pass named parameters to your job or transformation, the parameters need to be defined in the properties window, shown here for a transformation. The default value is not needed, but works well for testing. Pay attention to capitalization.
So the pieces of the puzzle are:
From the command line, pass the parameter like -param:yourparam=yourvalue
Define this same parameter in the highest-level job or transformation
Use it as you would use any variable, with ${yourparam}
i think the parameter names to be used in job should be ${PARAM_NAME1}
using command line i follow the below convention
call "{Replace with kitchen.bat File Path}" /file:"{Replace with JOB File Path}" "-param:PARAM_NAME1=PARAM_VALUE1" "-param:PARAM_NAME2=PARAM_VALUE2"
I am loading some file names and locations as variables into SSIS, then tried using foreach loop to execute a process task.
after a few unsuccessful attempts I realized SSIS is doubling up all the Backslashes in the fields I am loading into my variables. hence the network addresses not working.
can we stop this behavior?
What I load:
"\\BBBB001\shared\GGGG\PiMSSSRSReportsPath\THM022\HHHH-NextWorkingDay-at1530.pdf"
What I get:
"\\\\BBBB001\\shared\\GGGG\\PiMSSSRSReportsPath\\THM022\\HHHH-NextWorkingDay-at1530.pdf"
SSIS Execute Process task:
as you can see foxit reader doesn't recognize the later filename with double backslashes. if I manually inter the first value it will work.
For future reference, I found a workaround:
Instead of adding variables in Arguments section, I created a single variable including all the parameters for the file to be printed. something like this:
/t "FileLocation\FileName.pdf" PrinterName
And then put this variable in the expression section of the Execute process task, add argument and put that final variable in front it. like this:
I have a ssis package that has a foreach loop container. I am trying to use .bat file within the foreach loop container using execute Process task. How do I configure my Execute Process task to pass the value into my .bat file?
Here is my sequence:
Execute sql task (passing my variable into the foreach)--> Foreach loop container----> Execute Process Task (I need help with executables, arguments....)
Create 2 variables in your SSIS package.
The first one would have the FileName along with the entire path.
The other variable will have its property 'Evaluate As Expression' set to TRUE and set its Expression to the following -
"local:" + #[System::FilePathVariable] + " -d HDMS:/To_HDMS/"
As soon as the second variable is referenced in your SSIS package, its expression (the one written above) would execute.
Say the FilePathVariable had the value "D:\Folder1\Folder2\FileName"; so, the value of the second variable after its expression is evaluated would be "local:D:\Folder1\Folder2\FileName -d HDMS:/To_HDMS/"
You need to pass this as an argument to your batch file. This would be done as explained in my previous post above.
In your batch file, have the command as -
C:
cd \Program Files\WS_FTP Pro\
wsftppro -s %1
Please try and let us know in case it doesn't work for you.
I have a exec process task, in which i am just pinging 127.0.0.1 for testing. Is there a way to retrieve the full response from the the execute process task and then loop through that response in SSIS 2005?
EDIT:
This is for an internal app.
I need to run the following from the cmd Line:
dcAdmin /c jCount
which will produce something like this:
UserA:Active|d
UserB:Inactive|e
i need in an ssis package to loopthrough those UserX results
Capturing the output of the executable is easy enough using an Execute Process task:
This will put the entire standard output of the dcAdmin process in the User::ProcessObject variable. Without knowing more about what you're trying to accomplish with this, I can't really make any suggestions about how to go further.
