A recent question about how to skip a failure inside a Foreach Loop Container , I'm sharing the answer as it's easy and apparently not everybody is aware of it.
Hope that helps someone!
So let's assume it's only a simple Foreach Loop Container that's looping over a files on a network location or even the local disk, getting the file names into a variable and passing it to a file system task to move these files over to another location.
The first step will be by creating an OnError event handler for the file system task, and what I mean by that is
just click on Event Handlers from the top and then click on the BLUE link in the event handlers and that's it :)
Then look under system variables in the variables window, find the "Propagate" variable and set it to false.
So now The Foreach Loop Container is not aware that the file system task
has failed therefore does not cause the container to fail and exit.
OPTIONAL--you can use the failure Precedence Constraint "red branch" to do any other processing, such as to send a notification email with the name of the failed image!!

Just helped me - thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteBetter solution than elsewhere for the SSIS newbies. This worked exactly as I needed. Thanks.
ReplyDeletewhat is the difference from set the 'MaximunErrorCount' to ZERO?
