SSIS XML logging

Not a .NET developer, just a SQL guy trying to automate downloads for my company.

Main Issue
I have everything downloading beautifully, however, I cannot figure out how to log the download meta data (filenames, times, errors, etc.). I've dealt with XML a lot in SSIS and i really want the xml log in order to fill my download auditing tables with that transpired in the scheduled script executions. I've applied the session.XmlLogPath, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've been through the documentation, and i very well could be missing something, but it looks like i am calling it write in the script.

So basically, I am stuck on the logging part of this project.

If I cannot get an XML file out of the SSIS script task, is there a way to save the xml to an output variable in SSIS?
Or, is there a logging technique I haven't read about that will help me out?

I very much appreciate the responses!
Thanks!

Environment META
  • Using Visual Studio Professional 2017
  • Integration Services Project (2017 SSDT v1.0)
  • WinSCP-5.11.3-Automation.zip (exe & dll)
  • Assembly installed on the GAC
Goal
  • Create General download package, that is variable fed by SQL table, to schedule (SQL server agent) for various download projects from our vendors.
  • Log SFTP event and meta data for stake holder report tracking.
Set Up
Right now, the package is simple:
Exec SQL task to fill script variables from a jobs table. Then Run a script task, using c# 2017.

Example of variables being set at runtime:

Code being used:
using System;
using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using WinSCP;
 
namespace ST_465ac362c5e347efa0c10d3f4d89aa7b
{
   [Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.SSISScriptTaskEntryPointAttribute]
   public partial class ScriptMain : Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.ScriptTask.VSTARTScriptObjectModelBase
   {
        public void Main()
        {
            string winscpPath = Dts.Variables["winSCPPath"].Value.ToString();
            string username = Dts.Variables["ftpUsername"].Value.ToString();
            string password = Dts.Variables["ftpPassword"].Value.ToString();
            string ftpSite = Dts.Variables["ftpSite"].Value.ToString();
            int ftpPort = (int)Dts.Variables["ftpPort"].Value;
            string localPath = Dts.Variables["localPath"].Value.ToString();
            string remoteFTPDirectory = Dts.Variables["remoteFTPDirectory"].Value.ToString();
            string fileMask = Dts.Variables["fileMask"].Value.ToString();
            string sshKey = Dts.Variables["sshKey"].Value.ToString();
            string xmlLogPath = Dts.Variables["xmlLogPath"].Value.ToString();
 
            SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions
            {
                Protocol = Protocol.Sftp,
                HostName = ftpSite,
                UserName = username,
                Password = password,
                PortNumber = ftpPort,
                SshHostKeyFingerprint = sshKey
            };
 
            try
            {
                using (Session session = new Session())
                {
                    //Set XML Logging
                    session.XmlLogPath = xmlLogPath;
 
                    // WinSCP .NET assembly must be in GAC to be used with SSIS,
                    // set path to WinSCP.exe explicitly, if using non-default path.
                    session.ExecutablePath = winscpPath;
 
                    // Connect
                    session.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 2, 0); // two minutes
                    session.Open(sessionOptions);
 
                    TransferOptions transferOptions = new TransferOptions();
                    transferOptions.TransferMode = TransferMode.Binary;
 
                    try
                    {
                        session.GetFiles(remoteFTPDirectory + "/" +
                        fileMask, localPath, false, transferOptions);
                    }
                    catch (Exception e)
                    {
                        Dts.Events.FireError(0, null,
                        string.Format("Error when using WinSCP to download file: {0}", e), null, 0);
                        Dts.TaskResult = (int)DTSExecResult.Failure;
                    }
                }
                Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
            }

                Dts.TaskResult = (int)DT_S+e+x_ecResult.Failure;
 
            }
        }

Re: SSIS xml logging

Thank you for the response. It is disappointing that I am unable to log with the .NET library. It seems my option for logging the transfer results via SSIS would be to use a dynamic batch file instead of a C# script?

I'm sending you an email with a development version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.
