Null Value For Web Service Task Input
Jun 11, 2007
I'm attempting to use the Web Service task to call a method provided by a vendor. The inputs are all simple types so that helps a lot, but for one input it's a string array. If I enter a single string value for a given id using the array dialog, the method works fine.
However if I try to change the input to use a variable to provide the value it fails. I'm assuming that you can't create a variable to return a string array. Please let me know if this is the case or if I'm missing something obvious ;-)
In addition, is there a way to specify a null value for an input? Currently there doesn't appear to be a way to do this in SP2. I tried leaving the string empty which didn't work and I tried using a variable with expression "NULL(DT_WSTR, 1252)" but that failed too.

For the life of me I can't figure this one out. I'm trying to call a web service using the SSIS "Web Service Task". I give the Connection Manager a valid URL, download the WSDL, and go to the input pane of the "Web Service Task" options. No problems. I select my web service and pick a web method from the methods drop-down box. No problems. But where it should pop up with an input dialog box that allows you set your inputs for the web service call, nothing shows up. No errors are reported; the input pane just remains completely blank. I can inspect the WSDL with other tools (like Altova's XMLSpy) and plainly see the inputs it takes. I haven't seen a similar issue posted on this forum so I don't know if I'm going nuts or my version of SSIS is evil or what. I applied SQL Server SP1 and SP2 but it didn't change anything. I then tried to connect to one of Amazon's public web services to see if it was a problem related to our in-house WSDL formatting, and I discovered the same problem. Take for instance
http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/AWSECommerceService.wsdl?
I create a Web Service Task for this service and when I go to select the "ListLookup" method from the drop-down box on the input page no input parameters appear. The WSDL clearly defines this method to take a bunch of inputs. If anybody has any ideas about what's going on here I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks.

Microsoft says it is possible but I just do not see how. Here is the
link to the help file where it said that variables could be pass as
input to web methods...I do not see the check box they mention on my
IDE.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Catherine

There is not a way to pass parameters to input of Web Service tasks. I heard this problem is fixed with SQL2K5 SP1 and even the online doc says that one can choose either "value" or "variable" when specifying input for web service tasks, but after I installed what-I-think-is SP1, there is still no way to do this.
If one can only specify values (hard-coded) as input to web service tasks, then this would be a very severe limitation. I hope I'm wrong, so could someone please give a pointer. Thanks

Hi,
In SSIS web service task - when you specify the Service and Method in the input tab for a WSDL file being used,
it seems to prompt for the parameters to be supplied only in the body of the WSDL file, and not the header.
I need to be able to provide security information (present in the SOAP header of the WSDL) like username, password etc..which is necessary to post any response to the web server, and I cannot see where I can give this in the input tab of the web service task.
Any help highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello.
I've built a sample CLR function with the following declaration....
CREATE FUNCTION GetManager(@DeptCode nvarchar(3))
RETURNS nvarchar(1000)
WITH RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT
AS
EXTERNAL NAME Assembly1.[ClassLibrary1.MyVBClass].MyManager
And it works as expected, except when I use NULL:
DECLARE @MyManager nvarchar(1000)
EXEC @MyManager = dbo.GetManager NULL
PRINT @MyManager
It returns the value "Unknown" as it would have for any unknown DeptCode, as-programmed.
I'm of the theory it should have returned NULL without actually firing the function? Or is this only for non-CLR items... or stored procedures, not functions?

Do I have to use condition split?, then union all?
if in script, I can use update from <tablename> Set column = isnull(column, 'NA'). It's so simple.
I'm also wondering can we run SQL Script against input dataset in a SSIS component?

how to validate them ? any ideas .
are there any arrays.
if c and d are null then my condition would be

I want to write an Query for a report that has 7 parameters. I want to allow Null for these parameters but at the same time in the Query i want to put an AND condition for all the parameters. I cannot put an OR condition.
For Example;
If i have a report with 2 parameters then the script will have 2* 2 If conditions
something like:-
if( @parameter1 is not Null and @parameter is not Null)
select A, B, C
From Table 1
Where parameter1 = @parameter1 and parameter2 = @prameter2
if( @parameter1 is not Null AND @parameter2 is Null)
select A, B, C
From Table 1
Where parameter1 = @parameter1
If( @parameter1 is Null AND @parameter2 is Not Null)
select A, B, C
From Table 1
Where parameter2 = @parameter2
If( @parameter1 is Null AND @parameter2 is Null)
select A, B, C
From Table 1
For 7 parameter there will be way too many If conditions. Is there an better approch to write a Query for such a situation?

Hi,
I'm pretty new to ASP.NET and VB, but I'm working on a project which is essentially a staff directory. Using VS 2005, I've setup a basic grid view which connects to an object which connects via a data layer to a SQL database with Name, Surname, Email, Extension No and Department fields.
I have it working so that if a user enters a name and surname for example, it will return all records with either the name matching or surname matching input parameters. What I want to do is to set up a SQL query which is:
SELECT * FROM records WHERE (Name LIKE @Name) AND (Surname LIKE @Surname) AND (Email LIKE @Email) AND (Dept LIKE @Dept)
so that if the user only enters the first name and surname for example as above, it ONLY returns the record which matches the first name and surname and not all records with either/or. One way I've thought of to do this is to convert the empty fields to "Nothing" so that it fullfils the search parameter for the empty fields. If someone can explain how to do this, or can suggest a better way, I'd be grateful.
Cheers,
Tom

I'm using a Row Count Task to count the number of records passing thru a particular path in my data flow. I created a package variable and referenced this variable in the Components Properties tab in the Row Count Task. I believe this is the minimum I need to do to get the row count.
However, as I explore the other tabs in the editor, I see there is something called Input Columns tab. What is this for? I didn't select anything in there and things are working fine. At first I thought that I had to choose the columns that I want to have available to me for further processing after the Row Count Task, but this isn't the case. I am able to see all my columns coming out of the Row Count Task even tho I didn't do anything in the Input Columns tab.
So, what is this setting for?

With the new improvments to the web service task, we can now use variables as arguments in web service calls. I am trying to setup a call to the amazon web service ECS. I am trying to do a simple sellerlookup. I have played with the settings and gotten nowhere. I get one of two error when I try to execute. I can always use a scripting task or write my own task, but I would like to use the built in task if it is possible. Has anyone used AWS with SSIS?

Hi,
I have a SSIS package with a Sequence which Contains a Webservice Task, in the input section of this task i want to pass a User Variable as Parameter for my webmethod. but it doesn´t work, it allways sends the variable definition as string "@[User::Filename]". so i searched Microsoft Technet how to pass User Variables in Webservice Tasks and found this site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187617.aspx
which says :
"
Variable
Select the check boxes to use variables to provide inputs. "
but there is no such checkbox on the input page of my Webservice Task... there is just the Value column which i can edit... but as mentioned before when i try to set the value to a variable it doesn work
i tried the following strings in the value column:
@[User::Filename]
@Filename
User::Filename
@User::Filename
any ideas?
thanks for your help
bye

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to do something that should be fairly straightforward, but SSIS seems to be getting confused. I have a stored procedure which takes a timestamp as an input parameter. (NOTE: It's not a DateTime that's being stored as a DBTIMESTAMP, it really is a timestamp in the SQL sense.)
The command should be something like this:
Code Block
EXEC dbo.UpdateSynchTimestamp ?
I tried to use my variable to pass the value through Parameter Mapping, but I got an unusual error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "EXEC dbo.UpdateSynchTimestamp ?" failed with the following error: "An error occurred while extracting the result into a variable of type (DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP)". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
This is strange for a number of reasons:
1) The DBTIMESTAMP parameter has the Direction set to "Input", so it should not be interpreted as an Output or ReturnValue.
2) The Execute SQL Task has Result Set = "None", so it should not be trying to return anything.
If I change the code to include a value hard-coded it works:
Code Block
EXEC dbo.UpdateSynchTimestamp 0x00000000000013BD
It is only when a variable is involved that it breaks.
Finally, here's the Stored Procedure itself:
Code Block
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[UpdateSynchTimestamp]
@NewValue TIMESTAMP
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
UPDATE ServerSettings
SET [Value] = @NewValue
WHERE [Key] = 'SynchTimestamp'
END
Doe anyone have any suggestions as to why this isn't working for me? For the time being, I have a Script Task which constructs the command text and stores it in a variable. I can't even use an Expression because the DBTIMESTAMP is not supported.
Thanks for reading this!

I've encountered a new problem with an SSIS Pkg where I have a seq. of Execute SQL tasks. My question are:
1) In the First Execute SQL Task, I want to store a single row result of @@identity type into a User Variable User::LoadID of What type. ( I tried using DBNull Type or Object type which works, not with any other type, it but I can't proceed to step 2 )
2) Now I want to use this User::LoadID as input parameter of What type for the next task (I tried using Numeric, Long, DB_Numeric, Decimal, Double none of there work).
Please give me solutions for the above two..

I need to loop the recordset returned from a ExecuteSQL task and transform each row using a Data Conversion task (or a Script Task).
I know how to loop the recordset returned by an ExecuteSQL task:
http://www.sqlis.com/59.aspx
I loop the returned recordset (which is mapped to a User variable of type System.Object) and assign the Variable Mappings in the ForEach Loop to different user variables which map to the Exec proc resultset (with names and data types).
I assume to now use these as the Available Input columns for the Data Conversion task, I drag a Data Flow task inside the For Each Loop container and double-click it, then add a Data Conversion task.
But the Input columns (which I entered in the Variable Mappings in the ForEach Loop containers) dont show up in the Available Input columns of the Data Conversion task.
How do I link the Variable Mappings in the ForEach Loop containers from the recordset returned by the Execute SQL Task to the Available Input columns of the Data Conversion task?
.......................
If this is not possible, and the advice is to use the OLEDB data flow as the input for the Data Conversion task (which is something I tried too), then the results from an OLEDB Command (using EXEC sp_myproc) are not mapped to the Available Input columns of the Data Conversion task either (as its not an explicit SQL Statement and the runtime results from a stored proc exection)
I would like to use the ExecuteSQL task to do this as the Package is clean and comprehensible. Which is the easiest best way to map the returned results from a Stored proc execution to the Available Input columns of any Data Flow transformation task for the transform operations I need to execute on each row of data?
[ Could not find any useful advice on this anywhere ]
thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone,
I haven't been able to successfully use the ADO.NET connection type to use both input and output parameters in an execute sql task containing just tsql statements (no stored procedure calls). I have successfully used input parameters on their own but when i combine it with output parameters it fails on the simplest of tasks.
I would really find it beneficial if you could use the flexibility of an ADO.NET connection type as the parameter marker and parameter name can be referenced anywhere throughout the sql statement in no particular order. The addition of an output parameter would really make it great!!
Thanks

HI,
I am using XmlDataDocuments returned by webservices and query in the reports to populate the reports.
The issue I have is if the dataset used to populate the XML document has any nulls or empty spaces in any field the whole column or row is missing in the data generated by my query in the Reports. Sometimes the whole data is not being returned to the reports.
Sample query I use
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://xxxx.webservices.org/SelectReportRegisters</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://xxxx.webservices.org/" Name="SelectReportRegisters">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="p_registerType">
<DefaultValue>All</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="p_registerName">
<DefaultValue>All</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="p_asOfDate">
<DefaultValue>7-1-2009</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
</Query>
I have tested the webservice with sample data and it works well, returns data.
I use the ISNULL() in my stored procedures to avoid nulls but with empty strings, replacing them with a default value in the managed code is expensive and slows down the reports.
Is there some feature I am missing because of which nulls and empty strings are causing this problem.
I am using Reporting services 2005.
Any pointers will be truly appreciated.

Dear All,
For ex:
In SQL Server 2005 when we create table with 3 columns which has allow nulls option is disabled. Then we try to insert record with blank to any one of the column SQL server throws error, coz column name is NOT Null without inserting data it won't saves the record.
When we try to import a csv data file has 3 columns & has null data. If we use BULK INSERT TASK option, it easily inserts the data, without throwing error.
My question is how can we restrict null data without inserting it into the table using BULK INSERT TASK using SQL Server 2005.
Please suggest me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance

Hi!
I have a HttpConnection with an url to an existing webservices f.ex. http://myweb/ws/ssis.asmx?wsdl
My Web Service Task is using this HttpConnection and I have specified a path for the WSDL-file, f.ex: c:SSISMyProj.wsdl
This leads to that I have to deploy the WSDL-file to exactly the same location on the Sql-server that hosts/executes the Package.
Is there a way to point out a URL or anything else? I don't want to have this dependency.

Hi,
I am an ETL Developer.Very new to web service task.I created a package where I am using For loop Container.Within the container I used Execute SQL Task (retrieve a single row using store proc).Output of the Execute SQL Task is passed to webservice task.The output of Web service task is a XML data which is used in the data flow task and transfer the xml output to flat file destination.The package works fine for a batch of hundred rows. But for a batch of 10,000 rows at a stretch the performance is very poor. The webservice can take only one input at a time. Is there any other method other than web service task to solve this problem?
Thank You

Hello All,
I am a using a web service task inside a package. I configured the url and also got the wsdl file into my local envirioment and mapped the path of the WSDL file into the package. The Test connection for the site also succeeded. The problem I am facing is as follows.
When I go to the input tab there the service name automatically comes up allright but in the Method when I use the drop down I do not see any of the functions that are listed. Am I doing something wrong? Please do advice. It is very very urgent.

Hello,
I tried to use an Web Service from SSIS (Web Service Task), this Web Service returns arrays of int and
an array of a data contract. It always returns the following error msg while selection the method after downloading
the WSDL-file:
Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'Arrayofint' Key being added:
'Arrayofint'.
When I remove the arrays and just use an data contract as return parameter. SSIS-project also returns the
same error message, but not with Arrayofint, instead it has the name of data contract. If I implement the
same webservice with ASP.Net everything works fine.
Is there a solution to this problem besides of using ASP.Net or a stored procedure in SQL Server, which
implements the web service access? Or has anyone has integrated a WCF web service with data contract?
Comment 06/12/16 (UH): Stored Procedures doesn't work either, since the assemblies from WCF can't be
added to SQL Server.
Thanks,
Uwe

I am trying to prove I can use SSIS to connect to a web service. The WS I am trying to connect to was developed by a vendor and covered by a NDA, but I was able to reproduce the issue with a public WS.
Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:
In the Web Services Connection Manager, I entered http://office.microsoft.com/Research/Providers/MoneyCentral.asmx?wsdl in the URL window. I am able to successfully "test" the connection
I pasted the above link into IE and saved the resulting XML as a .wsdl file on my local machine. In the Web Services Task Editor, General Tab, I specify the path to the .wsdl file and click on "Download WSDL" button. No Issues
When I click on "Input" and select "MoneyCentralRemote" from the drop-down for Service, I receive an error message saying "This version of the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is not supported"
So the questions are:
Did I perform the above steps correctly?
What WSDL versions are supported in SSIS?
How can I tell what WSDL version was used to create the .wsdl I am trying to access?
If the WSDL is an unsupported version, is there a work-around to fix the issue?

This really isn't a very helpful message for this task, and there's nothing from the task editor that can be adjusted. I am using SP1, the HTTP connection to the service tests OK, the WSDL file downloads OK, and the methods and parameters appear OK.
Suggestions?

I can find no way to set the timeout period of a SSIS web service task. Is this possible, or is it something which Microsoft is addressing?

I am trying to configure a web service task. I have created the HTTP Connection, and specified the WSDL. When I select the service name on the Input page, I get the error ...
Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'BaseTO' Key being added: 'BaseTO'
I have previously been able to successfully configure the task in a separate project.
The Webservice methods take and return complex parameters. e.g. BaseTO above is custom transfer object type which the other transfer objects inherit. It is a List<> of some type of this object which is being passed/returned from the service.
I suspect these complex types will not be supported anyway but am puzzled by the original problem.
Any help much appreciated.
