This is great, but I think there is another solution may be even simpler and with no coding required. I have a set of csv files need to be uploaded to our production database every week day. I create a set of packages to load these files respectively and run these packages in a scheduled SQL Server Agent job step by step. At the first step, the job will run the first package to load the first csv file on schedule, on Job Properties Advanced page, I set the Retry Attempts and Retry Interval options to cover an expected range of time. For example, you can set Retry Attempts to 4 and Retry Interval 30 minutes to cover two hours. So, if the csv file is not at the location on schedule and the first step of the scheduled job will be hold and continue retry 4 times within the designed two hours.
