I have an ssis package that loops through .zip files. there will, at any given time, be over 80 files. I have a for each loop that extracts the files and load them into tables, one at a time. When the loop gets to the 15th iteration, the process terminates. Perhaps know what settings either default or extensions are required for this?

There is no internal limit as the the number of loops that can happen in a for loop.

You should be able to confirm this by disabling the inner tasks.

There must be an error occurring somewhere.

I agree with above also if it is always the 15th file you can edit your loop to pick up that specific file name. I would guess that the file itself may not be correctly zip. What is the specific error message?

It complains about memory... I loop through File01.zip -File82.zip, after file15.zip the task falls over, I the rerun it, the first file is file16.zip ... file31.zip... I rerun the task manually until all the files have been loaded... I think if it was a specific file, it would leave it unprocessed. P.S all files are archived after processing!:-)

What is the exact error message ?

How are you unzipping the files ?

Is it the process of unzipping the file ?

Is it in the processing of the data ?
