File System task - Renaming the file

Let see some interesting facts in SSIS,

File system tasks is a nice task used to do our operations on the files in operating system level. Using file system task, we can transfer the file from one place to another (By specifying the source and destination), directory level manipulations and assigning the property to a file.

Lets see a small demo on file system task, I am trying to rename the file located in my desktop.

My existing file name is venkat.txt and i am trying to rename it to venkat1.txt. Drag file sytem tasks and double click it. In the properties window, provide necessary source and destination path of the file. Specify the operation to be done on the file.

Once the file connections were specified(source and destination), you will get the file connection in your packages.

right click on the task and execute it. Now, you file got renamed.

Happy Learning!!!
