Action required to delay execution of objects within a ForEach loop

    Hi,

    On ServerA I have a SSIS package that contains a For Each Loop container. Within the container there is an ‘Execute process task’ which produces a scheduled task on ServerB. The task is scheduled to run 1 minute later than the current system Time and produces a csv file on ServerB. I use the AT command to perform this.

    My problem is that I do NOT want to perform any of the further tasks within the loop until this task is executed (i.e. until the csv file exists). How can I delay the execution of the next object until this is performed?

    Not sure this helps at all, but the next object in the container is a 'File System Task'

    Thanks in advance,

    Thanks for your tme guys - but I think I found a good web link that helped resolve my issue. Basically, I added a For Loop container after my Execute Process Task. Please see link below if interested..

    Okay, you got me curious. Why delay creating the file by a minute?

    (I'd probably just have used a T-SQL WAITFOR command, instead of a loop.)
