I have a directory with 10 logfiles that are created by IIS. The names are always different. IS there a way that I can have a package grab each file out of that directory and then do its job on it?

As it is right now, all I can do is grab one file at a time.

This is SQL 2000.

Thanks

  1. Build a table T1 in a database with the names of the files

  2. Build a package P1 that has a global variable for file name. Use A Dynamic Properties Task to set the Datasource for you Text File from the global variable.

  3. Build a package P2 that iterates through your table T1 and passes the file as a parameter to package P1

That link is a very good example. Thanks

One more thing...IS there a On Error Resume Next type of error handling in packages so that if it encounters an error it just continues?

Just use the on completion workflow item.
