Powershell script multiple output into SSIS variables

  • Hi Guys,

    How can I store multiple output results from Powershell to variables in SSIS?

    Thanks.

  • Are you calling Powershell from the SSIS package?

    What about outputting the results into a sql table and populate variables with values from there?

     

  • Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am calling PowerShell script from SSIS (Execute Process task).

    I have a couple of options that I can take.

    1. Combine two outputs in one Output in Powershell and then use Expression to parse it.
    2. Outputting the results into a SQL table and populate variables with values from there (This is what you suggested)

    But my point is, I am sure it must be a way to capture multiple outputs from Powershell in SSIS.

  • What is the Powershell script doing - could it be changed to a script task using C#?  Maybe you can use a script task and the something like the following?

                using (PowerShell PowerShellInstance = PowerShell.Create())
    {

    string zipArchive = Dts.Variables["User::FullFileName"].Value.ToString();
    string rootDirectory = Dts.Variables["$Project::RootDirectory"].Value.ToString();

    // use "AddScript" to add the contents of a script file to the end of the execution pipeline.
    // use "AddCommand" to add individual commands/cmdlets to the end of the execution pipeline.
    PowerShellInstance.AddScript("param($zipArchive, $destinationFolder) " +
    "Add-Type -assembly System.IO.Compression.FileSystem; " +
    "[io.compression.zipfile]::ExtractToDirectory($zipArchive, $destinationFolder)");

    PowerShellInstance.AddParameter("zipArchive", zipArchive);
    PowerShellInstance.AddParameter("destinationFolder", rootDirectory);

    // invoke execution
    PowerShellInstance.Invoke();
    }

    This is an example of using Powershell to extract files from a zip archive (note: this is no longer needed since we have access to zip functionality in .NET - but does show how to instantiate an instance of Powershell).

  • Thanks for your reply. The PowerShell script is calling a third party .exe file and getting username and PW. I will give a try using C#. However, my biggest concern is to add a "Reference" and other things when moving the Project to Prod.

    I am surprised, "Execute Process task" doesn't have the functionality to capture multiple output values.
