How to access ssis package variables inside script component - c#

How can I access variables inside my C# code which I've used in Data Flow -> Script Component - > My c# Script with my SSIS package?
I have tried with which is also not working
IDTSVariables100 varCollection = null;
this.VariableDispenser.LockForRead("User::FilePath");
string XlsFile;
XlsFile = varCollection["User::FilePath"].Value.ToString();

Accessing package variables in a Script Component (of a Data Flow Task) is not the same as accessing package variables in a Script Task. For a Script Component, you first need to open the Script Transformation Editor (right-click on the component and select "Edit..."). In the Custom Properties section of the Script tab, you can enter (or select) the properties you want to make available to the script, either on a read-only or read-write basis:
Then, within the script itself, the variables will be available as strongly-typed properties of the Variables object:
// Modify as necessary
public override void PreExecute()
{
base.PreExecute();
string thePath = Variables.FilePath;
// Do something ...
}
public override void PostExecute()
{
base.PostExecute();
string theNewValue = "";
// Do something to figure out the new value...
Variables.FilePath = theNewValue;
}
public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
{
string thePath = Variables.FilePath;
// Do whatever needs doing here ...
}
One important caveat: if you need to write to a package variable, you can only do so in the PostExecute() method.
Regarding the code snippet:
IDTSVariables100 varCollection = null;
this.VariableDispenser.LockForRead("User::FilePath");
string XlsFile;
XlsFile = varCollection["User::FilePath"].Value.ToString();
varCollection is initialized to null and never set to a valid value. Thus, any attempt to dereference it will fail.

First List the Variable that you want to use them in Script task at ReadOnlyVariables in the Script task editor and Edit the Script
To use your ReadOnlyVariables in script code
String codeVariable = Dts.Variables["User::VariableNameinSSIS"].Value.ToString();
this line of code will treat the ssis package variable as a string.

I had the same problem as the OP except I remembered to declare the ReadOnlyVariables.
After some playing around, I discovered it was the name of my variable that was the issue. "File_Path" in SSIS somehow got converted to "FilePath". C# does not play nicely with underscores in variable names.
So to access the variable, I type
string fp = Variables.FilePath;
In the PreExecute() method of the Script Component.

On the front properties page of the variable script, amend the ReadOnlyVariables (or ReadWriteVariables) property and select the variables you are interested in. This will enable the selected variables within the script task
Within code you will now have access to read the variable as
string myString = Variables.MyVariableName.ToString();

Strongly typed var don't seem to be available, I have to do the following in order to get access to them:
String MyVar = Dts.Variables["MyVarName"].Value.ToString();

This should work:
IDTSVariables100 vars = null;
VariableDispenser.LockForRead("System::TaskName");
VariableDispenser.GetVariables(vars);
string TaskName = vars["System::TaskName"].Value.ToString();
vars.Unlock();
Your initial code lacks call of the GetVariables() method.

How to set current cell on SAP GUIContainerShell in C#?

I am automating my work with SAP GUI script at the moment and whilst trying to recreate the recorded macro I am having an issue at one particular point which I don't know how to translate.
session.findById("wnd[0]/shellcont/shell/shellcont[1]/shell").setCurrentCell 1,"MAKTX2"
session.findById("wnd[0]/shellcont/shell/shellcont[1]/shell").doubleClickCurrentCell
session.findById("wnd[1]/tbar[0]/btn[0]").press
I have read through the SAP GUI Scripting API pdf and am struggling to see how I action the .setCurrentCell 1,"MAKTX2" part. I am accessing the container cell with the following:
GuiContainerShell materials = (GuiContainerShell)session.FindById("wnd[0]/shellcont/shell/shellcont[1]/shell");
How do I make "materials" double click "MAKTX2"?
Edit: Full SAP GUI script:
SapROTWr.CSapROTWrapper sapROTWrapper = new SapROTWr.CSapROTWrapper();
object SapGuilRot = sapROTWrapper.GetROTEntry("SAPGUI");
object engine = SapGuilRot.GetType().InvokeMember("GetScriptingEngine", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, SapGuilRot, null);
GuiApplication GuiApp = (GuiApplication)engine;
GuiConnection connection = (GuiConnection)GuiApp.Connections.ElementAt(0);
GuiSession session = (GuiSession)connection.Children.ElementAt(0);
GuiFrameWindow frame = (GuiFrameWindow)session.FindById("wnd[0]");
GuiTextField jobsite = (GuiTextField)session.FindById("wnd[0]/usr/subSA_0100_1:SAPMZCX_CSDSLSBM5001_OFS_OTS:2410/subSA_2410_1:SAPMZCX_CSDSLSBM5001_OFS_OTS:2510/ctxtKUWEV-KUNNR");
jobsite.Text = "I033";
frame.SendVKey(0);
GuiLabel aggregates = (GuiLabel)session.FindById("wnd[1]/usr/lbl[12,3]");
aggregates.SetFocus();
GuiFrameWindow frame2 = (GuiFrameWindow)session.FindById("wnd[1]");
frame2.SendVKey(1);
GuiContainerShell materials = (GuiContainerShell)session.FindById("wnd[0]/shellcont/shell/shellcont[1]/shell");
To be honest I can't help you with C#, but perhaps the SAP interface is generic enough anyway. Thing is, session.findById("wnd[0]/shellcont/shell/shellcont[1]/shell") gives you a reference to an object of type GuiShell or GuiContainerShell or whatever it's called. On this reference, you can call the methods defined for this type. So in the same way, when you do
session.findById("wnd[0]/shellcont/shell/shellcont[1]/shell").setCurrentCell 1,"MAKTX2"
You're just getting the reference first, and then applying the method setCurrentCell on it, all on the same line.
When you did in C#
GuiContainerShell materials = (GuiContainerShell)session.FindById("wnd[0]/shellcont/shell/shellcont[1]/shell");
you gave this reference a name materials, and provided that line works correctly, I guess you can just say now:
materials.setCurrentCell(1, "MAKTX2")
materials.doubleClickCurrentCell

Calling a Python script from C# - changing the script's filepath causes the program to not work

The following code works perfectly without flaw:
public partial class MainForm : Form
{
string pyInterp = File.ReadAllText(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + #"\config\pathToPythonInterpreter.txt");
string pyWeather = #"C:\getWeather.py";
public MainForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
UpdateWeather();
}
public void UpdateWeather()
{
labelWeather.Text = PySharp.ExecutePy(pyInterp, pyWeather);
}
}
However, when I change the path to getWeather.py to not be in an arbitrary random location, like this:
string pyWeather = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + #"\scripts\getWeather.py";
Then my program no longer obtains the script's output. The script still works: I launched it using IDLE and it completed its function properly. When I call it using C#, the console opens, yet no output is obtained.
The Python script is the following:
from requests import get
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup
r = get("http://www.ilmateenistus.ee/ilm/prognoosid/4-oopaeva-prognoos/")
parsed = soup(r.content, "html.parser")
container = parsed.find("div",{"class":"point kuusiku"})
print(str(container["data-title"]))
(It webscrapes my local weather)
PySharp.ExecutePy() can be viewed here
By far the strangest bug I've ever encountered. Any ideas?
EDIT 1: It seems that C# is indeed reading something from the script. It just appears that this something is.. nothing. I gave the label a default sample text, and after running the program, the label's text is simply changed to an empty string. Hope this incredible discovery helps somehow.
EDIT 2: The program fails to call the script correctly when its filepath contains spaces. For example:
C:\foo bar\testing\pyWeather.py
does not work!
Try surrounding the path that contains spaces with 2 double quotes.
For e.g.
string pyWeather = #"""C:\Users\[myname]\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\testing\testing\scripts\getWeather.py""";
Similarly, you can do string pyWeather = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + #"\scripts\getWeather.py"; followed by pyWeather = "\"" + pyWeather + "\"";.
I would want you to return the answer instead of printing. Printer is an I/O based solution to display. So it will work super fine with IDLE however it may not return results as you expected. I strongly believe this will solve your problem.
instead of printing please try return. I can give more support after trying this.
return(str(container["data-title"]))

SSIS Custom transformation receive variable

I am creating a custom transformation in C# to be used in SSIS. I have already been able creating and adding the custom component and receive and alter data from a db source but I need more data to register in a log table. This data can only be passed with variables but I can't find a good explanation of how to add a readonlyvariable to my component.
I have tried to use IDTSVariable100 and VariableDispenser but I can't make sense of how to.
public override void ProvideComponentProperties()
{
base.ProvideComponentProperties();
base.RemoveAllInputsOutputsAndCustomProperties();
VariableDispenser varDispenser = this.VariableDispenser();
IDTSVariable100 vr = this.VariableDispenser.GetVariables();
IDTSInput100 input = this.ComponentMetaData.InputCollection.New();
input.Name = "Input_B";
IDTSOutput100 output=this.ComponentMetaData.OutputCollection.New();
output.Name = "Output_B";
// the output is synchronous with the input
output.SynchronousInputID = input.ID;
}
Basically i want to define readonlyvariables that I can alter the value before my custom component runs like the original "script component" has.
Well i researched a bit more and stumbled on a answer:
It seems that to access the SSIS public variables we have to get them with code on the ProcessInput Method:
var dimSrcId ="";
IDTSVariables100 variables = null;
this.VariableDispenser.LockForRead("User::dimSrcId");
this.VariableDispenser.GetVariables(out variables);
dimSrcId = variables["User::dimSrcId"].Value.ToString();
variables.Unlock();
By using the VariableDispenser.LockForRead() we're capable of searching for our variables and access there value.

ConnectManager.Load not found

'm working on playing a audio file and planning to play two parallel playing of files so chose "SoundEffect" for playing audio file.
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio.SoundEffect
SoundEffect back;
back = ContentManager.Load<SoundEffect>("/Sounds/Background/bkm.mp3")
'm not getting that Load object.
Getting this error-->
An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or
property
'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.ContentManager.Load(string)'
Thanks
The content loading must occur inside the main Game class' LoadContent() method. Put your second line in there and try to run it.
Also your path to the file contains errors. It must look either like this:
"\\Sounds\\Background\\bkm"
or like this:
#"\Sounds\Background\bkm".
Don't include file extension and use \ backslash in paths for content manager.
Also it's a great idea to run this check first if you stumble upon File not found exception:
if (System.IO.File.Exists("\\Sounds\\Background\\bkm.mp3"))
{
// if you can step into this, it means the file exists
}
An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.ContentManager.Load(string)'
So, create an instance:
var contentManager = new ContentManager();
var back = contentManager.Load<SoundEffect>("/Sounds/Background/bkm.mp3");
try this maybe:
SoundEffect back;
var Cm= new ContentManager();
back = Cm.Load<SoundEffect>(#"/Sounds/Background/bkm.mp3")

How do I call a specific Method from a Python Script in C#?

I'm wondering if there is a possibility to call a specific Method from a Python script over a C# project.
I have no code... but my idea is:
Python Code:
def SetHostInfos(Host,IP,Password):
Work to do...
def CalcAdd(Numb1,Numb2):
Work to do...
C# Code:
SetHostInfos("test","0.0.0.0","PWD")
result = CalcAdd(12,13)
How can I call one of the Methods, from this Python script, over C#?
You can host IronPython, execute the script and access the functions defined within the script through the created scope.
The following sample shows the basic concept and two ways of using the function from C#.
var pySrc =
#"def CalcAdd(Numb1, Numb2):
return Numb1 + Numb2";
// host python and execute script
var engine = IronPython.Hosting.Python.CreateEngine();
var scope = engine.CreateScope();
engine.Execute(pySrc, scope);
// get function and dynamically invoke
var calcAdd = scope.GetVariable("CalcAdd");
var result = calcAdd(34, 8); // returns 42 (Int32)
// get function with a strongly typed signature
var calcAddTyped = scope.GetVariable<Func<decimal, decimal, decimal>>("CalcAdd");
var resultTyped = calcAddTyped(5, 7); // returns 12m
I found a similar way to do it, the call of the method is much easier with it.
C# Code goes as follows:
IDictionary<string, object> options = new Dictionary<string, object>();
options["Arguments"] = new [] {"C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib", "bar"};
var ipy = Python.CreateRuntime(options);
dynamic Python_File = ipy.UseFile("test.py");
Python_File.MethodCall("test");
So basically I submit the Dictionary with the Library path which I want to define in my python file.
So the PYthon Script looks as follows:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
path = sys.argv[0] #1 argument given is a string for the path
sys.path.append(path)
import httplib
import urllib
import string
def MethodCall(OutputString):
print Outputstring
So The method call is now much easier from C#
And the argument passing stays the same.
Also with this code you are able to get a custom library folder
for the Python file which is very nice if you work in a network
with a lot of different PC's
You could make your python program take arguments on the command line then call it as a command line app from your C# code.
If that's the way to go then there are plenty of resources:
