For each loop container bug?

  • As a best practice at work we use the foreach loop container to find files to load onto our data warehouse. We do this because we don't know the number of files we may receive on a given day (if we receive any at all). However, today I noticed what I believe is a bug in the foreach loop container. If you specify a folder that does not exist in the enumerator configuration, SSIS does not throw an error. It shows the process as successful but does not execute any contents. That would be ok if no files existed, but in this case the folder does not exist.

    Is my thinking wrong on this?

    J.D.

  • I can see your point but there is another side to it. Since no folder exists then no files exist either. So I don't know if I would classify it as a bug.

  • Indeed, no doubt classed as a feature 🙂
