Hi,
is there any example how to extract values from a SharePoint list? I searched in Google but I only found something about that someone failed using the web service task for it... If possible I would like to get around any custom .net code (Scripts would be OK), but if I can't get around that, I have to follow that path...
Thanks,
Hi,
I'm trying to get data from WSS lists by web services. I think there are two ways:
- using SSIS standard components (Web Service Task) and
- creating a custom source adapter.
My problem with the Web Service Task is, that the WSS method GetListItems has some non-standard parameters (see part from wsdl-file below). Thus, after selecting the method in the editor an clicking on "Ok", I get the error message "The selected Web method contains unsupported arguments". I think the problem is the missing type-attribute.
<s:element name="GetListItems">
<s:complexType>
<s:sequence>
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="listName" type="s:string" />
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="viewName" type="s:string" />
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="query">
<s:complexType mixed="true">
<s:sequence>
<s:any />
</s:sequence>
</s:complexType>
</s:element>
...
My question: Is there a way to extend the Task to handle such parameters?
I couldn't find any tutorials/articles on integrating a SharePoint web service call with an SSIS package
I need to schedule a web service to truncate and populate SharePoint Lists (2007 & 2003) from a SQL Server 2005 table.
I guess I'm just ignorant about integrating web services with SSIS. How do I make a call to the web service through my SSIS package? (script task?)
Any links to articles/tutorials or pointers would be apreciated.
Hi All,
I need to do data transfer from three tables in SQL server 2005 to the single Excel sheet as a report. Even If I create a Lists or named range, I couldn't able to transfer the data into the Lists. The idea is, whenever the data is transfered into the Lists, the three Lists (or Range) having data should grow separately.
Currently the data is transfered out of the Lists.
Anyone can help me.
Thanks

i would like to know whether there is anyway to load the content of a Sharepoint(2007) List from a SQL server database.
have tried as a workaround to make Access database(.acc db) as a source for the List so that when changes made to the .accdb, automatically it reflectes the sharepoint list.
so i tried to make use of ssis 2005 to dts data from SQLserver db(Source 1) to .accdb(Destn1), then from Destn1 the SPList would receive data.
the Object that accdb supports to SPList is of Sharepoint List type i am not able to DTS data from sql server to accdb.
Any suggestions wld be appreciated!!!
Hi all, I have never used SSIS before, but am looking to use it in this aspect:
1) A user uploads an Excel file into Sharepoint. This will be through a Document Library in a Sharepoint page.
2) When this file is uploaded, I'd like SSIS to notice there is a new file and process it - it will pull information from the Excel file, put it into a database, and - if this is possible - delete the new file.
3) This is iffy. Can SSIS then generate an InfoPath document from the information stored in the database? If not, I can just have a InfoPath query form.
I'd just like to know if this is possible. If you have any helpful links, please let me know - I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks,
James
hi
in my department we used livelink for a long time. now we have the order to migrate to sharepoint.
i have the task to make a package in ssis which reads from livelink using the livelink api and transform the data to sharepoint.
i have begun creating a custom connection manager. it is recognized by ssis and i can select it in the new connection window. what do i have to do in the aquire connection methods? do i have to create a custom datareader?
thanks in advance for your help

I have been searching for a GOOD example of using SSIS to query MOSS 2007 list data. I just want to return the data from a list in Sharepoint and use that data in SSIS. It should be as simple as defining a data source to connect to a specific list and return the rows like a SQL query.
Can anyone provide a good example of doing this in SSIS (and by the way, I'm not looking for how to write a C# program) - I want to be able to do this directly from SSIS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
We have a requirement to read data from Sharepoint to SSIS. Is it doable? What components to use and any dll we should include.

i never used SharePoint before, only for update some Excel files. But now, I want to extract the Excel Data from SharePoint 2013 to my SQL database. I'm thinking use the Excel Source to do that, however I'm having very errors to achieve that.
I want to do some ETL on data from the Excel files.
I have to copy files from a sharepoint or extranet location (basically https://.....) location to my local server using SSIS.
Any kind of early help would be really great.
I get the following error when I try to navigate to a report/model/data source, stored in a Sharepoint Document Library using a Sharepoint URL based on an Extranet or Intranet zone - but it works OK using the url for the Default zone:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The specified path refers to a SharePoint zone that is not supported. The default zone path must be used. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.SecurityZoneNotSupportedException: The specified path refers to a SharePoint zone that is not supported.

Is this a limitation of the SQLRS-WSS3 integration or is there a workaround?

Since I wasn't getting any replies with answers or suggestions to my initial posting, I figured I would continue to list the problems and solutions I've encountered while trying to setup and utilize SharePoint integration mode, and read data from SharePoint with SSRS reports (developed in VS2005). Hopefully this is helpful to anyone that is also trying to learn all this stuff and figure it out.
(Single server - W2K3R2_SP2 as: DC / SQL2005 Standard / MOSS2007 Enterprise - see the bottom of this posting for the steps I took to set that up)
Note: After I get this to work, I intend to post my experiences for setting up SharePoint Integration with SQL and SP on separate boxes.
1. In the new reporting section under SharePoint application management in the Central Admin Console, the Grant database AND Set Server Defaults work when using the domain admin account, but not when using the SQLSPS service account I used to setup both SQL and SharePoint. Why can't I use the service account? Is the domain admin account now going to be used as a service account for accessing the sharepoint database?
This question remains unanswered as of yet.
2. Reporting Services configuration tool shows Sharepoint integration as red x when I create a new database in integration mode. (the service account SQLSPS and the Server object are members of the group WSS_WPG). If I switch back to native mode (the original reportserver database), the red x goes to a blue exclamation instead. Using Service Credentials or Windows credentials (as either the service account SQLSPS or as domain admin) doesn't change anything.
RESOLVED by using a domain user account for the ReportServer WebApp. Even though everything is installed on the same machine, it seems using the default of NETWORK SERVICE wasn't acceptable. Possibly because SharePoint is configured to allow additional machines in the farm?
3. http://servername:8080/reportserver will display Report Server information as it did before the integration on port 80, but http://servername/reportserver doesn't display anything through SharePoint.
Resolved. I needed to define a repository before I could view it (go figure). When I created a sharepoint site based on a report center template, created a data connection library and report library, and then referenced that by http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myReportLibrary, I was able to see the equivalent of http://servername/reports (which is now disabled due to integration mode).
4. Unable to deploy to new report center sharepoint site I mention above using Visual Studio. I kept getting "A connection could not be made to the report server http://servername/sites/ReportCenter. Server was unable to process request. The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service unavailable (System.Web.Services). In Visual Studio, the project properties were: TargetDataSourceFolder = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myDataConnectionLibrary, TargetReportFolder = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/myReportLibrary, TargetServerURL = http://servername/sites/myReportCenterSite/
Found these errors in the event logs on the server.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1021
Description:
The identity of application pool, 'ReportServer' is invalid. If it remains invalid when the first request for the application pool is processed, the application pool will be disabled. The data field contains the error number.
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1057
Description:
The identity of application pool 'ReportServer' is invalid, so the World Wide Web Publishing Service can not create a worker process to serve the application pool. Therefore, the application pool has been disabled.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: W3SVC
Event ID: 1059
Description:
A failure was encountered while launching the process serving application pool 'ReportServer'. The application pool has been disabled.
RESOLVED the issue by changing the Application Pool used by reporting services from ReportServer to DefaultAppPool and changing the account DefaultAppPool used from NETWORK SERVICE to my service account SQLSPS. I have no idea why ReportServer is invalid, it was set to use the service account SQLSPS the same as DefaultAppPool is. Perhaps the reporting services add-on makes a change to invalidate this?
5. Attempting to read a SharePoint list using a SSRS report. This should be fun.
First, created a new custom list in the ReportCenter SharePoint sites I've been using and called it myCustomList. I added one item with a title of myCustomListItem1. I don't know if I need to do more than that for a simple test of reporting or not yet.
Second, configured new shared data source. Name = myCustomList1DataSource, type=XML, Connection String = http://servername/_vti_bin/lists.asmx (this URL is viewable in IE), Using Windows authenticaion.
Third, in VS2005 on a workstation in the domain, create new report item (report1.rdl). New dataset for report; Name=Report1DataSet, Data Source=myCustomList1DataSource (Shared), Command type = text, Query String = [See Queries and associated errors below]:
Initial query obtained from: Connecting SQL Reporting Services to a SharePoint List (David Wise)
http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx
Note: Queries when executing the dataset (which errors out) and when executing a query in CAML Viewer for the same information (which does work just fine) both initially return 401.1 and 401.2 errors (as viewed in Fiddler). Since the CAML query works, I have not tracked this down yet.
A. Original format from posting

RESOLVED. Went back to the query used in B above, and mysteriously it works now. This could be the "funny things happen" symptom I've been reading about. We'll see if it continues to function.
Here's what I've learned so far on Issue #5:
1. XML is confusing. XmlDP is even more confusing...whatever that is. Apparently it's new to/with Reporting Services in SharePoint integration mode?
2. There is far too little documentation regarding XmlDP and querying SharePoint lists from SQL Reporting Services.
3. According to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx: You must use the generic query designer to create the query. The query is not analyzed to identify parameters; therefore you must create parameters through the Parameter tab on the Dataset dialog box.
Tried this query:
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems" />
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="listName">
<DefaultValue>myCustomReport2</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<OrderBy>
<FieldRef name="ows_Date" />
</OrderBy>
</Parameters>
</Query>
I was still prompted for the listName and the list returned with ows_Date still out of order. So maybe that proves this statement is true?
<translation: why make it convenient when it's already [somewhat] functional?>
4. When building the dataset, anything I place in the "Query string" box has to be enclosed in <query></query> tags or it errors out. I am trying to understand how to translate the CAML viewer query (which does work but isn't wrapped in query tags) into something that fits between query tags, and it hasn't gone well so far.
<translation: To be at one with your reports Grasshopper, you must understand xml>
5. According to http://srv1/sites/ReportCenter/_vti_bin/lists.asmx, "GetListItems" operation is supported
<translation: you're getting warmer...>
6. According to the soap output of my site http://srv1/sites/ReportCenter/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems, I am only allowed to specify the following parameters: listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions and webID.
<translation: that and $3.00 will get you a cup of coffee>
7. According to http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx, only listName, viewName and rowLimit parameters are usable(?) (query and queryOptions may not be working properly with SSRS).
<translation: that kind of sucks>
8. When this started mysteriously working again, I tested using the "/" at the end of the namespace (wouldn't work without) and the "=" sign in front of the parameter value as defined on the parameter tab of the dataset (turns out to be optional).
As long as I can query SharePoint and get my list information back, I'm going to consider this issue closed and move on to actually using this information in a report. I'm sure that won't work right either, but why stop now?!
6. Ok, now that I can read SharePoint list data with SSRS, I need to try and actually do something with it.
A. Begin by setting up new data to report on
1. Create a new custom list (myCustomList2) and add a test record. This list will simulate the data we intend to submit to SharePoint using InfoPath, so it has a number of custom/created columns in it
2. Modify the working information from #5 above; add a new shared data source (myCustomList2DataSource), tell the dataset to use the new shared data source, change the information set in the parameter tab (Name => listName, Value => =myCustomList2) and test the dataset. Lucky me, it actually returned the record I entered on the first try.
B. Begin to build the report with the dataset returned
1. So, as I'm feeling good that it's actually reading the list in Step A without me threatening to destroy the machine, I look to the left in the Dataset results navigation pane in VS2005 and realize there are NO fields for me to choose to report on.
2. At this point, I have no clue what to do about getting this XML data into a report. Not that I have a large clue about SSRS otherwise, but I have at least been able to build SSRS reports when using a SQL database as the datasource. Fyi, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159741.aspx states: "Reports can use data from XML documents and Web services, or embed XML in the query. There is no built-in support for retrieving XML documents from a SQL Server database.", in case anyone is trying to do that....
RESOLVED. Since the fields were not appearing automatically, I had started to add new fields to the dataset manually (if it doesn't work, beat it with a hammer, right?). I entered half a dozen or so fields, each one with the exact name as displayed in the query results, and then decided it would be fun to hit the refresh fields icon. As soon as I did that, all the fields shown in the query immediately appeared in the dataset and I was able to add them to a report. I don't know if I hit the refresh fields when working in issue #5, so I can't say if they are there now because of that, or because of adding some fields manually first, a combination of the two, or if it's just one of those mystery items I'm reading about with sharepoint reporting.
7. Rows are being returned even though they have NULL values (so far anyway), and most data is returning nicely for the bulk of the columns I created in the list I'm reporting on. Here are the current issues:
A. I have one column in my SharePoint list that is multi-lined text. If the text type is either rich text or enhanced rich text, the value returned in the query is formatted like this: "<div class=ExternalClassyadayada<div>My notes display here". If I set the column to be plain text, this doesn't happen. I will need to figure out how to filter that for my report.
RESOLVED. David Wise had some code listed at http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx that addressed this issue somewhat. I modified it to match my circumstances. Disclaimer: I'm not a programmer, so use this at your own risk.
function ExtractMultiLineText(myField as string) as string
dim strBegin as string
dim strEnd as string
dim myBegin as integer
dim myEnd as integer
dim myTextLength as integer
strBegin = "<div>"
strEnd = "</div>"
if myField = nothing then return ""
if myField = "" then return ""
myBegin = Instr(myField, strBegin) + Len(strBegin)
myEnd = Instr(myField, strEnd)
myTextLength = myEnd - myBegin
if myBegin < 1 then return myField
return mid(myField, myBegin, myTextLength)
end function
B. I have two columns in the SharePoint list that are set as number values with 0 decimal places. When I query those however in SSRS, they return with the number plus like 12 zeroes behind the decimal. Not a major issue, but I'll put it on the list anyway.
RESOLVED. Used the Int() function; =Int(Fields!ows_myProblemNumber)
C. If I go to "/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?op=GetListItems", it appears from the sample soap output that I am allowed to ask GetListItems for is: listName, viewName, query, viewFields, rowLimit, queryOptions and webID. As I mentioned in issue #5, according to http://www.sharepointblogs.com/dwise/archive/2007/11/28/connecting-sql-reporting-services-to-a-sharepoint-list-redux.aspx, only listName, viewName and rowLimit parameters are usable(?) and query and queryOptions may not be working properly with SSRS.
So, if I can't put anything other than this in my query string;
<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"/>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
</Query>
and I only have a couple parameters to pass on top of that, then it appears to me that my options for filtering the amount of data returned from the SharePoint list is to figure out a way to do it with expressions in the parameters or in the report itself. Am I missing something? Is this really all I get to work with out-of-the-box?

Ok,
I have a network folder called A
I have a SharePoint (2007) Document Library site called B. Web Client is enabled on the server and B is mapped as a Drive (let's call it Y for this discussion)
I want to move documents in A to B. Easy enough, right? Not so....
I first started by creating a batch file that issues a COPY \A \Y /Y at the command prompt. Viola! Worked Great!
I then moved that command to a SQL Agent job as a CMDExec statement (exact same statement) and attempted to run it.....CRASH! It found the files in A but then said "The system cannot find the path specified"
Ok, so I tried it in SSIS. CRASH! Checked the error log. Same thing...
So I then checked the account under which the SQl Agent was running (special domain account for all our SQL Servers). Thinking it might mater I changed it to run under my name (I'm in Domain admin). I also ensured I had permissions to the SPS 2007 library as well. (I did).
Ran again! CRASH! Same error....
So, I created a batch file , placed thec ommand in the batch file and ran that from the command prompt! Viola! Worked Great.
So, I was thinking of how ingenious I was as I pasted my C:RootCopy.bat into my SQL Agent job. With a big grin on my face I right clicked and picked "Start Job at step".......CRASH! Same error.
Does anyone have any ideas on this ???????????????

Historically I've always written a VB script to copy a file from a sharepoint library. I don't like this method because I have to input a username & password in the script and maintain a config file.
Yesterday I was playing around with using a file system task. The sharepoint file has a UNC path so why not? I created a simple test package with a single file system task that copies the sharepoint file (addressed via UNC) to another network location. Package runs fine locally.
I try running on our utility server but am getting a "The file name [SHAREPOINT UNC PATH] specified in the connection was not valid" error. Package is running with a proxy on the server and the proxy account has the same permissions to the sharepoint site (so far as I can tell) as me.

I am glad to announce that there is now a version of my article "Arrays andLists in SQL Server" for SQL 2005 available on my web site.THe URL for the article ishttp://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2005.html. If you are curious aboutthe performance numbers they are in an appendix athttp://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-perftest.html.The old version of the aritlce remains, as the new article covers SQL 2005only. The old version is now athttp://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2000.html.The old URL, http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql.html leads to a pagethat links to both articles.And the reason that there are two articles is simply that SQL 2005 addsso many new features: nvarchar(MAX), the CLR, the xml data type, CTE thatall can be used in the realm of arrays and lists.--Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, Join Bytes!Books Online for SQL Server 2005 athttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...oads/books.mspxBooks Online for SQL Server 2000 athttp://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodin...ions/books.mspx
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to use PreparedStatements (or bind variables) with SQLstatements that have a variable number of arguments. For example, Ihave an array of IDs for employees of a certain type and I want tohave a PreparedStatement retrieve all of them in a single SQL call.SELECT FROM employees WHERE employee_type = ? employee_id in(?,?,?,...,?)It seems at least in Java that PreparedStatements can only take afixed number of arguments?PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("SELECT FROMemployees WHERE employee_type = ? AND employee_id = ?");pstmt.setLong(1, employeeType);pstmt.setInt(2, employeeID);Is there a way to have a PreparedStatement for a SQL "IN" clause orsimilar variable argument length clauses? I heard that Temp tables isone option where you first insert your array of IDs into a Temp tableand then use a JOIN. But that seems to defeat the purpose as itrequires multiple queries. Is there anyway to something like this:int[] employeeIDArray = getEmployees();PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("SELECT FROMemployees WHERE employee_type = ? AND employee_id IN (?)");pstmt.setLong(1, employeeType);pstmt.setIntArray(2, employeeIDArray); <--- How can I do this?Thanks,- Robert
