I have a 'file system task' moving files from one server to another for processing. I have defined the path and filename as separate variables. When I attempt to pass them together into the task I receive an error.
Source Path & Filename:
@.[User:: DataSourceFolder]+"\\"+ @.[User::CD_PaidClaimSource]
Outputs:
\\umrdwh2\FTP\CLAIMDAILY.DATA
Destination Path Now: (Filename not specified per another thread.)
@.[User::WorkingFolder]
Original Destination Path: (Which did not work.)
@.[User::WorkingFolder]+"\\"+ @.[User::CD_PaidClaimSource]
I receive validation errors:
Error 1 Validation error. CLAIMDAILY Move : Failed to lock variable "\\umrdwh2\FTP\CLAIMDAILY.DATA" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found. This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.". ClaimLoading_MASTER.dtsx 0 0
How do I overcome this without hard coding the path in the task?

That error is showing you the value of your variable, not it's name. Not sure how that could have happened, but hopefully it helps you figure out what is wrong.

Oh, I think I get it. Did you specify that expression as the Source Path in the File System Task? I didn't think the UI allowed that. If so, you need to create a new variable, set it EvaluateAsExpression=true and put the expression there. Then reference that variable from your File System Task's SourceVariable property.

The picture helped immensely, thank you. I was trying to establish the source and destination on the expressions screen as well as the general screen which was causing some of the error. Once I removed the destination and source from the expressions screen it worked better.
I am having another issue now, however. Following the syntax in the picture exactly I am getting an error because the filename is being considered a part of the folder path in addition to the filename. I have as an expression:
My expression (like your picture):
"\\\\Apsw9026g1\\Admin\\Logs\\CLAIMDAILY.DATA"
Which outputs:
\\Apsw9026g1\Admin\Logs\CLAIMDAILY.DATA
But this is the error on execution:
Information: 0xC002F30E at CLAIMDAILY Move, File System Task: File or directory "\\Apsw9026g1\Admin\Logs\CLAIMDAILY.DATA\CLAIMDAILY.DATA" was deleted.
Error: 0xC002F304 at CLAIMDAILY Move, File System Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Could not find a part of the path '\\Apsw9026g1\Admin\Logs\CLAIMDAILY.DATA\CLAIMDAILY.DATA'.".
Why is it duplicating the filename as part of the path? Did I miss a setting?

|||Try deleting the file system task and starting over.|||Deleting everything variable, task, container, etc and recreating all of it results in the same error. Ideas? The funny part is the system loves the 'Source'; there are no errors, and it is the same syntax. It is only the 'destination' that is having trouble.

Roger,
I have an example that uses the file system task to move/rename files in case you are interested: http://rafael-salas.blogspot.com/2007/03/ssis-file-system-task-move-and-rename.html
If I recall correctly, when using variables in the file system task, IsDestiantionPathVariable and IsSourcePathVarible, and depending on the operation used; some times the task expect only the path that points to the file and some times it expects the path AND the file name. In your case it looks like it only expects the path; so remove the file name from the expression. Do not assume both variables need path and file name.
