The Foreach Loop container defines a repeating control flow in a package. The loop implementation is similar to Foreach looping structure in programming languages. In a package, looping is enabled by using a Foreach enumerator. The Foreach Loop container repeats the control flow for each member of a specified enumerator.
Foreach ADO enumerator to enumerate rows in tables. For example, you can get the rows in an ADO recordset. The Recordset destination saves data in memory in a recordset that is stored in a package variable of Object data type. You typically use a Foreach Loop container with the Foreach ADO enumerator to process one row of the recordset at a time. For more information about the Recordset destination, see Use a Recordset Destination.
Foreach ADO. NET Schema Rowset enumerator to enumerate the schema information about a data source. Foreach File enumerator to enumerate files in a folder. The enumerator can traverse subfolders. Note that the order in which the files are retrieved cannot be specified. Foreach From Variable enumerator to enumerate the enumerable object that a specified variable contains. The enumerable object can be an array, an ADO. For example, you can enumerate the values of an array that contains the name of servers.
Foreach Item enumerator to enumerate items that are collections. For example, you can enumerate the names of executables and working directories that an Execute Process task uses. For example, you can enumerate and get a list of the views in a SQL Server database. The following diagram shows a Foreach Loop container that has a File System task.
The Foreach loop uses the Foreach File enumerator, and the File System task is configured to copy a file. If the folder that the enumerator specifies contains four files, the loop repeats four times and copies four files. You can use a combination of variables and property expressions to update the property of the package object with the enumerator collection value.
First you map the collection value to a user-defined variable, and then you implement a property expression on the property that uses the variable. For example, the collection value of the Foreach File enumerator is mapped to a variable called MyFile and the variable is then used in the property expression for the Subject property of a Send Mail task.
When the package runs, the Subject property is updated with the name of a file each time that the loop repeats. For more information, see Use Property Expressions in Packages. Variables that are mapped to the enumerator collection value can also be used in expressions and scripts. A Foreach Loop container can include multiple tasks and containers, but it can use only one type of enumerator.
If the Foreach Loop container includes multiple tasks, you can map the enumerator collection value to multiple properties of each task. You can set a transaction attribute on the Foreach Loop container to define a transaction for a subset of the package control flow.
In this way, you can manage transactions at the level of the Foreach Loop instead of the package level. For example, if a Foreach Loop container repeats a control flow that updates dimensions and fact tables in a star schema, you can configure a transaction to ensure that all fact tables are updated successfully, or none are updated.
For more information, see Integration Services Transactions. Enumerators are configurable, and you must provide different information, depending on the enumerator. Integration Services includes the Foreach Loop container, a control flow element that makes it simple to include a looping construct that enumerates files and objects in the control flow of a package. For more information, see Foreach Loop Container. The Foreach Loop container provides no functionality; it provides only the structure in which you build the repeatable control flow, specify an enumerator type, and configure the enumerator.
To provide container functionality, you must include at least one task in the Foreach Loop container. For more information, see Integration Services Tasks. The Foreach Loop container can include a control flow with multiple tasks and other containers. Adding tasks and containers to a Foreach Loop container is similar to adding them to a package, except you drag the tasks and containers to the Foreach Loop container instead of to the package.
If the Foreach Loop container includes more than one task or container, you can connect them using precedence constraints just as you do in a package. For more information, see Precedence Constraints. Add the Foreach Loop container to the package. Add tasks and containers to the Foreach Loop container. Connect tasks and containers in the Foreach Loop container using precedence constraints.
Configure the Foreach Loop container. For more information, see Configure a Foreach Loop Container. This procedure describes how to configure a Foreach Loop container, including property expressions at the enumerator and container levels.
In the Foreach Loop Editor dialog box, click General and, optionally, modify the name and description of the Foreach Loop. Click Collection and select an enumerator type from the Enumerator list. To use the Foreach File enumerator, provide the folder that contains the files to enumerate, specify a filter for the file name and type, and specify whether the fully qualified file name should be returned. Also, indicate whether to recurse through subfolders for more files. Select a data type in the Data Type list for each column, and click OK.
To use the Foreach ADO enumerator, select an existing variable or click New variable in the ADO object source variable list to specify the variable that contains the name of the ADO object to enumerate, and select an enumeration mode option. If creating a new variable, set the variable properties in the Add Variable dialog box. To use the Foreach ADO. NET connection or click New connection in the Connection list, and then select a schema. Optionally, click Set Restrictions and select schema restrictions, select the variable that contains the restriction value or type the restriction value, and click OK.
To use the Foreach From Variable enumerator, select a variable in the Variable list. Depending on the value selected for DocumentSourceType, select a variable or a file connection from the list, create a new variable or file connection, or type the XML source in the Document Source Editor. Next, click EnumerationType and select an enumeration type from the list. Depending on the value set for InnerXPathStringSourceType, select a variable or a file connection, create a new variable or file connection, or type the string for the inner XPath expression.
NET connection or click New connection in the Connection list, and then either type the string to use or click Browse. Optionally, click the browse button For more information, see Add or Change a Property Expression.
Optionally, click Variable Mappings to map object properties to the collection value, and then do the following things:. Thanks for your help. In the Property Expressions Editor screen, click on the Property. It becomes a drop down - select Directory.
Set the expression to the variable that builds the directory. After all, you will be the one supporting it! Raunak Jhawar. Nature: The package will begin execution only when the files are available within the folder structure Evil Kraig F.
It's there, just got to be on the right tab. There's two sets of expressions to build in that object. Active 3 months ago. Viewed times. I'm starting slowly, and I'd like to parameterise some hardcoded filepaths. Once I've added a project parameter, how can I do this? For this purpose, let's say I have a variable: SuperFolderLocation.
Improve this question. Yes you need to use expressions. Once you understand expressions it should all become clear. I suggest you start experimenting. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. First thing you need to do is create the project parameter: Then in the foreach loop container select collection and make sure that "Foreach File Enumerator" is selected in the drop down.
