SFTP Integration in SSIS package Using WinSCP DLL

 

In this blog, I am planning to write about SSIS SFTP Task details and reference sites, upload and download the files from SFTP server using SSIS package with help of the winscp library.

Steps to configure the winscp DLL and Download Files

1.       Please download the DLL and required files from below path

https://winscp.net/eng/downloads.php#additional

2.       Once Downloaded, use the below comments to add in Local GAC

"Path to the gacutil exe \gacutil.exe" /i WinSCPnet.dll

3.       Please use the below URL as guide to implement the SSIS script task to download the files from SFTP using winscp as library

https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_ssis

4.       I am just briefing the steps based on the above URL what we can try in SSIS package.

5.       Please create the below variables in SSIS package which we need to pass into the Script Task as a variable

·       Host Name

·       SFTP Username

·       SFTP Password

·       SFTP Source Path – From where we need to download the files

·       Destination Path – To which location we need to transfer the file

·       Winscp Executable Path – Download winscp execution path

6.       Please add script Task and click edit.


7.       Once Added the variables in Read Write Variables. Please click Edit to edit Script the C# code.

 

 

8.    Please add the reference for the DLL by right clicking the reference section solution explorer. 






Please browse the DLL path download in step one and add it in reference.

9.       Once added we have ready to add the code for move the files.

public void Main()

        {

            // Setup session options

            string HostName = (string)Dts.Variables["User::HostName"].Value;

            string UserName = (string)Dts.Variables["User::UserName"].Value;

            string Password = (string)Dts.Variables["User::Password"].Value;

            string SSHPath = (string)Dts.Variables["User::SSHPath"].Value;

            if (SSHPath == null) {

                SSHPath = String.Empty;

            }

           

            //User::DestinationPath,User::HostName,User::Password,User::SourcePath,User::SSHPath,User::UserName

            MessageBox.Show("Please FinD the Host Name"+HostName+"_"+ UserName+"_"+Password+"_"+SSHPath);

            SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions

            {

                Protocol = Protocol.Sftp,

                // To setup these variables, go to SSIS > Variables.

                // To make them accessible from the script task, in the context menu of the

                // task, choose Edit. On the Script task editor on Script page,

                // select ReadOnlyVariables, and tick the below properties.

                HostName = HostName,

                UserName = UserName,

                Password = Password

               

            };

            sessionOptions.SshHostKeyPolicy = SshHostKeyPolicy.GiveUpSecurityAndAcceptAny;

       

            try

            {

                using (Session session = new Session())

                {

                    // If WinSCP .NET assembly has been stored in GAC to be used with SSIS,

                    // you need to set path to WinSCP.exe explicitly.

                    // This is not needed if you have subscribed AppDomain.AssemblyResolve event

                    // and the WinSCP.exe is in the same location as WinSCPnet.dll.

                    string ExecutablePath= (string)Dts.Variables["User::WinscpExecutablesPath"].Value;

                    session.ExecutablePath = (string)Dts.Variables["User::WinscpExecutablesPath"].Value;

                    string destinationFilePath= (string)Dts.Variables["User::DestinationPath"].Value;

                    string sourceFilePath= (string)Dts.Variables["User::SourcePath"].Value;

                    MessageBox.Show("Please FinD the Host Name 3" + ExecutablePath+"_"+destinationFilePath+sourceFilePath);

                    // Connect

                    session.Open(sessionOptions);

 

                    // Upload files

                    TransferOptions transferOptions = new TransferOptions();

                    transferOptions.TransferMode = TransferMode.Binary;

 

                    /* TransferOperationResult transferResult = session.PutFiles(

                         destinationFilePath, sourceFilePath, false, transferOptions);

                    */

 

                    TransferOperationResult transferResult = session.GetFiles(sourceFilePath, destinationFilePath, false, transferOptions);

 

                    // Throw on any error

                    transferResult.Check();

 

                    // Print results

                    bool fireAgain = false;

                    foreach (TransferEventArgs transfer in transferResult.Transfers)

                    {

                        Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, null,

                            string.Format("Upload of {0} succeeded", transfer.FileName),

                            null, 0, ref fireAgain);

                    }

                }

 

                Dts.TaskResult = (int)DTSExecResult.Success;

            }

            catch (Exception e)

            {

                Dts.Events.FireError(0, null,

                    string.Format("Error when using WinSCP to upload files: {0}", e),

                    null, 0);

 

                Dts.TaskResult = (int)DTSExecResult.Failure;

            }

        }

10.   Please use the above code in Visual studio editor and save the details. Please run and check.

Geography Data Type – SQL Server

     Geography data type in SQL Server is a useful tool for storing and manipulating geographic data. It provides a set of functions and tools for working with geographical data, such as points, lines, and polygons. In this blog, we will explore the Geography data type in SQL Server with examples. Introduction to Geography data type Geography data type is a built-in data type in SQL Server that is designed to support the storage, manipulation, and analysis of geographic data. It is based on the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Simple Feature Access specification, which provides a standard way to represent geographic data in a database. The Geography data type in SQL Server stores data in a geographic coordinate system, allowing you to represent points on the surface of the earth using longitude and latitude coordinates. You can also represent lines and polygons by defining a series of points that define the shape of the line or polygon. Creating a Geography data t...

XML data type Functions – SQL Server

 The XML data type in MSSQL Server is a powerful tool for handling and manipulating XML data within a relational database system. In addition to storing XML data as a column in a table, SQL Server provides a number of XML functions and methods that allow for easy parsing, querying, and transformation of XML data. In this blog post, we will cover all XML data type methods available in MSSQL Server. value() Method: The value() method is used to extract a single value from an XML instance. This method accepts an XQuery expression as a parameter, which is used to identify the value to be extracted. The syntax of the value() method is as follows: xml . value ( XQuery expression , Data type ) For example, the following query extracts the value of the 'name' element from an XML column called 'MyXMLColumn': SELECT MyXMLColumn . value ( '(/Root/Person/Name)[1]' , 'varchar(50)' ) AS Name FROM MyTable   query() Method: The query() method i...
