Sorry, If u filling bored. I have searched on several search engines but could not got any result. Anyway I am working in an App which database is mysql. Now I have created a database wrapper class and want to check if the connection is already opened. Could u help me?
String^ constring = L"datasource=localhost;port=3306;username=root;password=pass;database=eps;";
String^ my_query = L"select id from eps_users where usr = '" + this->user_name->Text + "' and psw = md5('" + this->pass_word->Text + "');";
MySqlConnection^ conDatabase = gcnew MySqlConnection(constring);
MySqlCommand^ cmd = gcnew MySqlCommand(my_query, conDatabase);
MySqlDataReader^ myreader;
try
{
conDatabase->Open();
myreader = cmd->ExecuteReader();
int count = 0;
while (myreader->Read())
{
count = count + 1;
}
if (count == 1){
MessageBox::Show("Username And Password is correct.", "Success", MessageBoxButtons::OK,
MessageBoxIcon::Information);
this->Hide();
Form2^ f2 = gcnew Form2(constring);
f2->ShowDialog();
}
else{
MessageBox::Show("Username And Password is not correct.", "Error", MessageBoxButtons::OK,
MessageBoxIcon::Error);
// <del>
this->Hide();
Form2^ f2 = gcnew Form2(constring);
f2->ShowDialog();
// </del>
}
}
catch (Exception^ ex)
{
MessageBox::Show(ex->Message);
}
conDatabase->Close();
I need to check if( conDatabase->HasBeenOpened()) { conDatabase->Open();}
The MySqlConnection type implements a feature called connection pooling that relies on the garbage collector to help recycle connections to your database, such that the best practice with regards to connection objects is to create a brand new object for most calls to the database, so that the garbage collector can correctly recycle the old ones. The process goes like this:
Create a new connection
Open the connection
Use the connection for one query/transaction
Dispose the connection
Where all four steps live within a single try/catch/finally block. (Also, the dispose step needs to happen inside the finally block!) Because you generally start with a brand new connection object, there's not typically a need to check if it's open first: you know it's closed. You also don't need to check the state after calling Open(): the method will block until it's finished, and throw an exception if it fails.
However, if you really are in one of the (rare!) situations where it's a good idea to preserve the connection for an extended period, you can check the state like this:
if( conDatabase->State == ConnectionState::Open)
Now, there is one other issue in that code I'd like to talk about. The issue comes down to this: what do you think will happen if I put the following into your username text box:
';DROP Table eps_users;--
If you think that it will try to execute that DROP statement in your database, you're right: it will! More subtle and damaging queries are possible, as well. This is a huge issue: there are bots that run full time crawling web sites looking for ways to abuse this, and even an corporate internal desktop apps will get caught from time to time. To fix this, you need to use Parameterized Queries for every instance where include user-provided data as part of your sql statement.
A quick example might look like this:
String^ my_query = L"select id from eps_users where usr = #userID;";
MySqlCommand^ cmd = gcnew MySqlCommand(my_query, conDatabase);
cmd->Parameters->AddWithValue(L"#userID", this->user_name->Text);
The requirement is to execute SSIS package, when a file is arrived at a folder,i do not want to start the package manually .
It is not sure about the file arrival timing ,also the files can arrive multiple times .When ever the files arrived this has to load into a table.I think, some solution like file watcher task ,still expect to start the package
The way I have done this in the past is with an infinite loop package called from SQL Server Agent, for example;
This is my infinite loop package:
Set 3 Variables:
IsFileExists - Boolean - 0
FolderLocation - String - C:\Where the file is to be put in\
IsFileExists Boolean - 0
For the For Loop container:
Set the IsFileExists variables as above.
Setup a C# script task with the ReadOnlyVariable as User::FolderLocation and have the following:
public void Main()
{
int fileCount = 0;
string[] FilesToProcess;
while (fileCount == 0)
{
try
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000);
FilesToProcess = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(Dts.Variables["FolderLocation"].Value.ToString(), "*.txt");
fileCount = FilesToProcess.Length;
if (fileCount != 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < fileCount; i++)
{
try
{
System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(FilesToProcess[i], System.IO.FileMode.Open);
fs.Close();
}
catch (System.IO.IOException ex)
{
fileCount = 0;
continue;
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
// TODO: Add your code here
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}
}
}
What this will do is essentially keep an eye on the folder location for a .txt file, if the file is not there it will sleep for 10 seconds (you can increase this if you want). If the file does exist it will complete and the package will then execute the load package. However it will continue to run, so the next time a file is dropped in it will execute the load package again.
Make sure to run this forever loop package as a sql server agent job so it will run all the time, we have a similar package running and it has never caused any problems.
Also, make sure your input package moves/archives the file away from the drop folder location.
As others have already suggested, using either WMI task or an infinite loop are two options to achieve this, but IMO SSIS is resource intensive. If you let a package constantly run in the background, it could eat up a lot of memory, cpu and cause performance issues with other packages depending on how many other packages you've running. So other option you may want to consider is schedule an Agent job every 5 minutes or 10 minutes or something and call your package in the job. Configure the package to continue only when a file is there or quit otherwise.
You can create a Windows service that uses WMI to detect file arrival and launch packages. Details on how to are located here: http://msbimentalist.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/trigger-ssis-package-when-files-available-in-a-folder-part2/?relatedposts_exclude=330
What about the SSIS File Watcher Task?
I need to change a couple paths from the debug/testing App.config files to their final home on the end user's machine. I see the XML File Changes option when editing the Installer project through Visual studio, and the help indicates I should Import the xml file to be changed.
BUT...
Is there any way to import the output of the project for the XML file? If I browse directly to the file itself I have to use the Debug or Release config file, which seems like it would be annoying. Otherwise I could use the base App.config but if any transformations are applied when building they'd be lost.
So am I stuck with just browsing to a file, or can I grab the "Project Output" somehow like I can for the .exe file?
XML File Changes is pretty weak tea.
To do what you are looking for your going to have to create a custom action that loads the .config file and updates it outside of InstallShield.
If you are using 2012 C# Wizard project type an option should be to create a .rul that catches the OnEnd() event in After Move Data. From the .rul call into a dll via UseDLL and invoke a method that accepts the target path to the config and the value to update the value to.
The following is code I'm testing so...
Using a C# Wizard project type I added the following InstallScript rule to call into a C# dll:
function OnEnd()
string basePath;
BOOL bResult;
string dllPath;
OBJECT oAppConfig;
begin
dllPath = TARGETDIR ^ APPCONFIG_DLL;
try
set oAppConfig = DotNetCoCreateObject(dllPath, "AppConfig.ConfigMgr", "");
catch
MessageBox("Error Loading" + dllPath + ": " + Err.Description, INFORMATION);
abort;
endcatch;
try
basePath = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MyCompany\\Config Test\\";
bResult = oAppConfig.ConfigureSettings(basePath + "appsettings.xml", basePath + "app.config", "someAppSection");
catch
MessageBox("Error calling ConfigureSettings " + dllPath + " " + Err.Number + " " + Err.Description, INFORMATION);
endcatch;
end;
C# test code:
public bool ConfigureSettings(string configFilePath, string targetAppConfigPath, string targetAppName)
{
bool completed = true;
try
{
XmlDocument configFileDoc = new XmlDocument();
configFileDoc.Load(configFilePath);
string installerTargetFileDoc = targetAppConfigPath; // InstallShield's build process for Visual Studio solutions does not rename the app.config file - Awesome!
System.IO.FileInfo fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(installerTargetFileDoc);
if (fi.Exists == false) installerTargetFileDoc = "app.config";
XmlDocument targetAppConfigDoc = new XmlDocument();
targetAppConfigDoc.Load(installerTargetFileDoc);
// ensure all required keys exist in the target .config file
AddRequiredKeys(configFileDoc.SelectSingleNode("configuration/" + targetAppName + "/requiredKeys"), ref targetAppConfigDoc);
// loop through each key in the common section of the configuration file
AddKeyValues(configFileDoc.SelectSingleNode("configuration/common/appSettings"), ref targetAppConfigDoc);
// loop through each key in the app specific section of the configuration file - it will override the standard configuration
AddKeyValues(configFileDoc.SelectSingleNode("configuration/" + targetAppName + "/appSettings"), ref targetAppConfigDoc);
// save it off
targetAppConfigDoc.Save(targetAppConfigPath);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
completed = false;
throw ex;
}
return completed;
}
private void AddKeyValues(XmlNode configAppNodeSet, ref XmlDocument targetAppConfigDoc)
{
foreach (XmlNode configNode in configAppNodeSet.SelectNodes("add"))
{
XmlNode targetNode = targetAppConfigDoc.SelectSingleNode("configuration/appSettings/add[#key='" + configNode.Attributes["key"].Value + "']");
if (targetNode != null)
{
targetNode.Attributes["value"].Value = configNode.Attributes["value"].Value;
}
}
}
private void AddRequiredKeys(XmlNode targetAppNodeSet, ref XmlDocument targetAppConfigDoc)
{
foreach (XmlNode targetNode in targetAppNodeSet.SelectNodes("key"))
{
// add the key if it doesn't already exist
XmlNode appNode = targetAppConfigDoc.SelectSingleNode("configuration/appSettings/add[#key='" + targetNode.Attributes["value"].Value + "']");
if (appNode == null)
{
appNode = targetAppConfigDoc.SelectSingleNode("configuration/appSettings");
XmlNode newAddNode = targetAppConfigDoc.CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "add", null);
XmlAttribute newAddNodeKey = targetAppConfigDoc.CreateAttribute("key");
newAddNodeKey.Value = targetNode.Attributes["value"].Value;
XmlAttribute newAddNodeValue = targetAppConfigDoc.CreateAttribute("value");
newAddNodeValue.Value = "NotSet";
newAddNode.Attributes.Append(newAddNodeKey);
newAddNode.Attributes.Append(newAddNodeValue);
appNode.AppendChild(newAddNode);
}
}
}
While it seems like it should work, Installshield is unable to grok project output correctly (dependencies are missed often, merge modules are duplicated even when they dont apply), or give you a way to deal with individual files in project output.
I have no less than 5 bugs open with them about problems using project output and their workaround is always "Add the files manually".
If you are just getting started with install shield, I suggest you try another alternative. If you have to use it, either complain about this not working to their support team and use the suggested workaround until they get it together.
This may not be the "answer" to your question, but hopefully helps your sanity when dealing with the broken feature set in this product.
You can import any file you want (by browsing), and make changes to it in any run-time location you like. I suggest just putting the minimal amount you need to make your changes; after all it's the XML File Changes view. That way most updates to the file won't cause or require any changes to your XML File Changes settings, no matter how it's included.
I'm using Visual C#2008 Express Edition and an Express SQL database. Every time I build my solution, I get an error like the one above. Obviously the file name changes. A new file is also created every time I hit a debug point.
I have a stored proc that gets every row from a database table, it gets these rows every time the main form initialises and Adds them to a Generics list. Without inserting or deleting from the table, it gets a different number of rows each time I start my windows application. The error started happening at the same time as the weird data retrieval issue. Any ideas at all about what can cause this?
Thanks
Jose,
Sure, here's my c# method, it retrieves every row in my table, each row has an int and and Image ....
private List<ImageNumber> GetListOfKnownImagesAndNumbers()
{
//ImageNumber imNum = new ImageNumber();
SqlCommand sqlCommand = new SqlCommand();
sqlCommand.Connection = _conn;
try
{
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
sqlCommand.CommandText = "usp_GetKnownImagesAndValues";
_conn.Open();
using (IDataReader dr = sqlCommand.ExecuteReader())
{
while (dr.Read())
{
ImageNumber imNum = new ImageNumber();
imNum.Value = dr.IsDBNull(dr.GetOrdinal("ImageValue")) ? 0 : Convert.ToInt32(dr["ImageValue"]);
//Turn the bitmap into a byte array
byte[] barrImg = (byte[])dr["ImageCaptured"];
string strfn = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Now.ToFileTime());
FileStream fs = new FileStream(strfn,
FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write);
fs.Write(barrImg, 0, barrImg.Length);
fs.Flush();
fs.Close();
imNum.Image = (Bitmap)Image.FromFile(strfn);
_listOfNumbers.Add(imNum);
}
dr.Close();
_conn.Close();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
_conn.Close();
}
return _listOfNumbers;
}
And here's my stored proc....
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.usp_GetKnownImagesAndValues
AS
BEGIN
select ImageCaptured, ImageValue
from CapturedImages
END
Thanks for looking at this. The answer in the end was to put a Thread.Sleep inside the while loop and it started working perfectly. There may be something else I could do, I am obviously waiting for something to complete which is why allowing more time has helped here. If I knew what needed to complete and how to detect when it had completed then I could check for that instead of simply waiting for a short time.
I'm using SQL Server 2005, and creating ftp tasks within SSIS.
Sometimes there will be files to ftp over, sometimes not. If there are no files, I don't want the task nor the package to fail. I've changed the arrow going from the ftp task to the next to "completion", so the package runs through. I've changed the allowed number of errors to 4 (because there are 4 ftp tasks, and any of the 4 directories may or may not have files).
But, when I run the package from a job in agent, it marks the job as failing. Since this will be running every 15 minutes, I don't want a bunch of red x's in my job history, which will cause us to not see a problem when it really does occur.
How do I set the properties in the ftp task so that not finding files to ftp is not a failure? The operation I am using is "Send files".
Here is some more information: the files are on a server that I don't have any access through except ftp. And, I don't know the filenames ahead of time. The user can call them whatever they want. So I can't check for specific files, nor, I think, can I check at all. Except through using the ftp connection and tasks based upon that connection. The files are on a remote server, and I want to copy them over to my server, to get them from that remote server.
I can shell a command level ftp in a script task. Perhaps that is what I need to use instead of a ftp task. (I have changed to use the ftp command line, with a parameter file, called from a script task. It gives no errors when there are no files to get. I think this solution is going to work for me. I'm creating the parameter file dynamically, which means I don't need to have connection information in the plain text file, but rather can be stored in my configuration file, which is in a more secure location.)
I understand that you have found an answer to your question. This is for other users who might stumble upon this question. Here is one possible way of achieving this. Script Task can be used to find the list of files present in an FTP folder path for a given pattern (say *.txt). Below example shows how this can be done.
Step-by-step process:
On the SSIS package, create an FTP Connection named FTP and also create 5 variables as shown in screenshot #1. Variable RemotePath contains the FTP folder path; LocalPath contains the folder where the files will be downloaed to; FilePattern contains the file pattern to find the list of files to download from FTP server; FileName will be populated by the Foreach loop container but to avoid FTP task design time error, it can be populated with / or the DelayValidation property on the FTP Task can be set to True.
On the SSIS package, place a Script Task, Foreach Loop container and FTP Task within the Foreach Loop container as shown in screenshots #2.
Replace the Main() method within the Script Task with the code under the Script Task Code section. Script Task will populate the variable ListOfFiles with the collection of files matching a given pattern. This example will first use the pattern *.txt, which yields no results and then later the pattern *.xls that will match few files on the FTP server.
Configure the Foreach Loop container as shown in screenshots #3 and #4. This task will loop through the variable **ListOfFiles*. If there are no files, the FTP task inside the loop container will not execute. If there are files, the FTP task inside the loop container will execute for the task for the number of files found on the FTP server.
Configure the FTP Task as shown in screenshots #5 and #6.
Screenshot #7 shows sample package execution when no matching files are found for the pattern *.txt.
Screenshot #8 shows the contents of the folder C:\temp\ before execution of the package.
Screenshot #9 shows sample package execution when matching files are found for the pattern *.xls.
Screenshot #10 shows the contents of the FTP remote path /Practice/Directory_New.
Screenshot #11 shows the contents of the folder C:\temp\ after execution of the package.
Screenshot #12 shows the package failure when provided with incorrect Remote path.
Screenshot #13 shows the error message related to the package failure.
Hope that helps.

Check this link that describes about gracefully handling task error in SSIS Package.
I had almost the same problem but, with retrieving files. I wanted the package NOT to fail when no files were found on FTP server. The above link stops the error bubbling up and causing the package to fail; something you would have thought FailPackageOnError=false should have done? :-S
Hope this solves it for you too!
I just had this issue, after reading some of the replies here, nothing really sorted out my problem and the solutions in here seem insane in terms of complexity.
My FTP task was failing since I did not allow overwriting files, lets say the job was kicked off twice in a row, the first pass will be fine, because some files are transferred over but will fail if a local file already exists.
My solution was simple:
Right click task - Properties
Set ForceExecutionResult = "Success"
(I can't accept my own answer, but this was the solution that worked for me.)
It may not be the best solution, but this works.
I use a script task, and have a bunch of variables for the ftp connection information, and source and destination directories. (Because, we'll be changing the server this is run on, and it will be easier to change in a config package.)
I create a text file on the fly, and write the ftp commands to it:
Dim ftpStream As StreamWriter = ftpFile.CreateText()
ftpStream.WriteLine(ftpUser)
ftpStream.WriteLine(ftpPassword)
ftpStream.WriteLine("prompt off")
ftpStream.WriteLine("binary")
ftpStream.WriteLine("cd " & ftpDestDir)
ftpStream.WriteLine("mput " & ftpSourceDir)
ftpStream.WriteLine("quit 130")
ftpStream.Close()
Then, after giving it enough time to really close, I start a process to do the ftp command:
ftpParameters = "-s:" & ftpParameterLoc & ftpParameterFile & " " & ftpServer
proc = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("ftp", ftpParameters)
Then, after giving it some more time for the ftp process to run, I delete the temporary ftp file (that has connection information in it!).
If files don't exist in the source directory (the variable has the \\drive\dir\*.* mapping), then there is no error. If some other error happens, the task still fails, as it should.
I'm new to SSIS, and this may be a kludge. But it works for now. I guess I asked for the best way, and I'll certainly not claim that this is it.
As I pointed out, I have no way of knowing what the files are named, or even if there are any files there at all. If they are there, I want to get them.
I don't have a packaged answer for you, but since no one else has posted anything yet...
You should be able to set a variable in an ActiveX script task and then use that to decide whether or not the FTP task should run. There is an example here that works with local paths. Hopefully you can adapt the concept (or if possible, map the FTP drive and do it that way).
1) Set the FTP Task property ForceExecutionResult = Success
2) Add this code to FTP Task OnError event handler.
public void Main()
{
// TODO: Add your code here
int errorCode = (int)Dts.Variables["System::ErrorCode"].Value;
if (errorCode.ToString().Equals("-1073573501"))
{
Dts.Variables["System::Propagate"].Value = false;
}
else
{
Dts.Variables["System::Propagate"].Value = true;
}
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}
Put it in a ForEach container, which iterates over the files to upload. No files, no FTP, no failure.
You can redirect on failure, to another task that does nothing, ie a script that just returns true.
To do this, add the new script task, highlight your FTP task, a second green connector will appear, drag this to the script task, and then double click it. Select Failure on the Value drop down. Obviously, you'll then need to handle real failures in this script task to still display right in the Job history.
Aha, OK - Thanks for clarification. As the FTP task cannot return a folder listing it will not be possible to use the ForEach as I initially said - That only works if you're uploading X amount of files to a remote source.
To download X amount of files, you can go two ways, either you can do it entirely in .Net in a script task, or you can populate an ArrayList with the file names from within a .Net script task, then ForEach over the ArrayList, passing the file name to a variable and downloading that variable name in a standard FTP task.
Code example to suit: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2472491&SiteID=1
So, in the above, you'd get the FileNames() and populate the ArrayList from that, then assign the ArrayList to an Object type variable in Dts.Variables, then ForEach over that Object (ArrayList) variable using code something like: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/SSIS/64014/
You can use the free SSIS FTP Task++ from eaSkills. It doesn't throw an error if the file or files don't exist, it support wild cards and gives you the option to download and delete if you need to do so.
Here's the link to the feature page:
http://www.easkills.com/ssis/ftptask
This is another solution that is working for me, using built-in stuff and so without manually re-writing the FTP logic:
1) Create a variable in your package called FTP_Error
2) Click your FTP Task, then click "Event Handlers" tab
3) Click within the page to create an event handler for "FTP Task/OnError" - this will fire whenever there is trouble with the FTP
4) From the toolbox, drag in a Script Task item, and double-click to open that up
5) In the first pop-up, ReadOnlyVariables - add System::ErrorCode, System::ErrorDescription
6) In the first pop-up, ReadWriteVariables - add your User::FTP_Error variable
7) Edit Script
8) In the script set your FTP_Error variable to hold the ReadOnlyVariables we had above:
Dts.Variables["FTP_Error"].Value = "ErrorCode:" + Dts.Variables["ErrorCode"].Value.ToString() + ", ErrorDescription=" + Dts.Variables["ErrorDescription"].Value.ToString();
9) Save and close script
10) Hit "OK" to script task
11) Go back to "Control Flow" tab
12) From the FTP task, OnError go to a new Script task, and edit that
13) ReadOnlyVariables: User::FTP_Error from before
14) Now, when there are no files found on the FTP, the error code is -1073573501
(you can find the error code reference list here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345164.aspx)
15) In your script, put in the logic to do what you want - if you find a "no files found" code, then maybe you say task successful. If not, then task failed. And your normal flow can handle this as you wish:
if (Dts.Variables["FTP_Error"].Value.ToString().Contains("-1073573501"))
{
// file not found - not a problem
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}
else
{
// some other error - raise alarm!
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Failure;
}
And from there your Succeeded/Failed flow will do what you want to do with it.
An alternative is to use this FTP File Enumerator
