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,

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 a little help here and appreciate any insight into this issue.
I am building an SSIS package that retrieves data from a database to use in a web service task. So let me give you a little more broad overview of the package so you can understand how this is supposed to roll. A database is queried and those values are dumped into a recordset. A foreach loop uses each row of variables to call the web service and dump the returned values to another database. The first database holds a bunch of fields, but the four fields of interest are: a StartDate (DateTime), a StartFormat (single char), an EndDate (DateTime) and an EndFormat (single char). The output from the query of the first database is the input in the signature of a web service's .Load method. Sounds easy, right? Sure, why not?
Well I dragged the Web Service Task on to the pane and took a look inside. Lo and behold, I can hardcode the variables in for the web service or I can assign the inputs to package variables. How fancy, thanks Microsoft!
But that's where the difficulty begins. The method call for the web service looks like this: service.Load(string, int, GTTimestamp1, GTTimestamp2). The web service is expecting a string, an int, and two objects of the type GTTimestamp, which is a very simple class defined as this:
<System.Xml.Serialization.SoapTypeAttribute("GTTimestamp", "http://util.gtdw.pci.com")> _
Public Class GTTimestamp
Public calendar As Date
Public displayFormat As String
End Class
In the input pane for the Web Service, when I click in the value of the two GTTimestamps like I'm going to hardcode them in, another window pops up saying "Enter the values for complex type -in4" and the pane looks exactly like the previous pane with one very important exception: There is not place to check to assign the value from a package variable!!! Dang you Microsoft!!! I don't really understand why they would leave us out to dry on this... Oh, well, maybe they'll take care of it later...Time to work around it.
SSIS does allow you to create a variable of type System.Object, so after playing with the Web Service for a few minutes and giving up on that, I decided to create a script task that is supposed to create two GTTimestamp objects and assign them to two object variables in the package for passing to the WebService Task. The first challenge was to get the web service to play nice with the script. For those who have never done this, use a command prompt and the wsdl.exe to generate a .vb or .cs file to add to your script file using the right click, add existing item...
Once the file was accessable to my scripts, I created two GTTimestamp objects and assigned them to the Package variables of type System.Object. Running the package, I got this error:
"Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: Could not execute the Web method. The error is: Type 'ScriptTask_8c868490237b4220b582bdc7c7a3ecae.GTTimestamp' in assembly 'VBAssembly, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is not marked as serializable.
Not marked as serializable, huh. Okay, so I made the GTTimestamp serializable by adding the <Serializable()> before the class declaration. Then the error changed to:
The error is: Type is not resolved for member 'ScriptTask_8c868490237b4220b582bdc7c7a3ecae.GTTimestamp,VBAssembly, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
And here I am, at a loss for what to do from this point. I'm a little lost, so I thought I'd stop and ask for directions. I'm sure I'm not the first to want to use complex variable types.
Only two options at this point. One is to try and store the GTTimestamp in the database and see if SSIS can deal with that. I'm not sure how to store objects in a database or if that is even an option for me, but it came to mind so it made it into this post. The other is to get this to work through the script above that I have run into a wall.
Again, any help is appreciated. Thanks for your time.
When you pass a complex type (the one represented by class) to a web service the BIDS UI allows you to enter values for every field of that type as constants. But what if you want to pass a variable? Once again the UI allows you to specify a variable for that complex type parameter. But how to make this variable in SSIS?I understand it should have the type of Object. But how to specify what the runtime type of this object is? And how to assign all fields to that object?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a SQL Task that updates running totals on a record inserted using a Data Flow Task. The package runs without error, but the actual row does not calculate the running totals. I suspect that the inserted record is not committed until the package completes and the SQL Task is seeing the previous record as the current. Here is the code in the SQL Task:
DECLARE @DV INT;
SET @DV = (SELECT MAX(DateValue) FROM tblTG);
DECLARE @PV INT;
SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I've not been successful in passing a SSIS global variable to a declared parameter, but is it possible to do this:
DECLARE @DV INT;
SET @DV = ?;
DECLARE @PV INT;
SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I have almost 50 references to these parameters in the query so a substitution would be helpful.

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.
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
I am trying to exectue SQL task as below by passing a parameter
If I try....
@v1 datetime
set @v1 = convert(datetime, ? ,103)
it fails with below error
" failed with the following error: "Syntax error or access violation". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
however the below code works well
delete from t1 where last_update = convert(datetime, ? ,103)
What could be the problem?
Hi,
I am creating SSIS package which using Execute SQL Task to which I am supplying one .sql file code is
delete from Test where ID = @ID
I defined @ID variable to SSIS and also path where .sql file placed but i am not able to execute this package i am getting error like can not find C:@Path file......
As i got information that passing such variable to .sql you need ADO.net connection so I changed SQLSERVER Database connection string to ADO.net .... after that when i set hard core value for these variable i.e for @ID and @Path then it runs sccessfully but by setting parameter i am getting above error
Any suggestion that will be gr8 help for me

Hi
I have created one SSIS package which extract data from database and put that into verious text files like Emp.txt,Add.txt like that.
Also I set one globle veriable (CityID) that help in extracting data as citywise.
When I ran it through command prompt by passing globle veriable to it like
C:setup pcaSSIS PackagesSSIS Package File Extract DataSSIS Package File Extract Data>DTExec /FILE Package.dtsx /SET Package.Variables[CityID].Value;100
it gives me data whose CityID is 100 and format it into text files.
but when i want data for another CityID (101) it overwrites my all previous text files where i kept that files.
Now my requirment is that i want to set another globle veriable that take PATH as input parameter and place these files in that path location.(How i set this path in command promt and also in SSIS)
Please guide me
Thanks

Hi All!
I have a parent package that contains two children... The second child depends on the succes of the first child.
THe first child generates a variable value and stores it in an Environment variable ( Visibility - All ) ...After the first succeeds, the second will start executing and will pick up the variable value from environment variable( through package configuration setting )...
Unfortunately, this doesn't work...As the second child picks the stale value of the environment variables...Essentially it assigns variable value not after the first child is finished, but right at the beginning of parent execution...
I tried to execute coth children as Out Of Proc as well as In Proc...The same
Would anybody have an idea how to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm working on an SSIS package that uses a vb.net script to grab some XML from a webservice (I'd explain why I'm not using a web service task here, but I'd just get angry), and I wish to then assign the XML string to a package variable which then gets sent along to a DataFlow Task that contains an XML Source that points at said variable. when I copy the XML string into the variable value in the script, if do a quickwatch on the variable (as in Dts.Variable("MyXML").value) it looks as though the new value has been copied to the variable, but when I step out of that task and look at the package explorer the variable is its original value.
I think the problem is that the dataflow XML source has a lock on the variable and so the script task isn't affecting it. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem, or know a workaround?
Does anyone know how to parse an input variable to a stored proc? For example, if I have an input variable that is: 'ford,chevy,pontiac' how do I parse through this variable and handle each value independently?
Since I do not know how many values may exists I can't do it based on a set amount of input variables.

I am trying to Execute a Stored Procedure using Call OSQL from a .bat file, and passing a DOS variable to the Stored Procedure.
The DOS variable is established in the DOS command...
set SERVERJOB=JOBNAME
I have tried...
EXEC sp_procedure %SERVERJOB%
With this, I get an error...
sg 170, Level 15, State 1, Server ABCDEFGH, Line 20
Line 20: Incorrect syntax near '%'.
If I put the variable name in quotes on the EXEC statement above, the value used is the variable name, %SERVERJOB% itself rather than the value the variable was set to, which would be JOBNAME in the above example.
Any ideas??? Thanks!
We are trying to use the Import/export wizard to load a text file to a SQL Server 2005 database. The input file has a variable number of columns per row. For example, the first row has 3 columns, the second has 7, the third has 3, etc. The number of columns varies from 2 to 9 in the input file. The columns are separated by an uptick (`) and the rows are terminated by {CR}{LF}. We are using code page 1252. On processing, the wizard reads the first row (with 3 columns) ok, but then assumes all the other rows have 3 columns and parses the rows accordingly, ignoring the field and row terminators.
The process worked fine with SQL Server 2000. Is there some setting that we are missing, or some configuration on the database that we should be checking?
Thank You

View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I need to create a view which will include an additional table every week of our financial year.
Example: Every week we create a table called Sales_YYYY_WW where YYYY is the Year and WW is the Week, so after the first week we have the table Sales_2007_01 and after the second week we have Sales_2007_01 and Sales_2007_02 etc.. These tables are created evey week and don't exist at the start of the financial year.
I'd like to create a view at the beginning of each year to encompass each table evey week as it is created. If all of the tables were there at the start of the year it would be simple:
CREATE VIEW VIEW_SALES_2007
AS
SELECT * from Sales_2007_01
UNION ALL
SELECT * from Sales_2007_02
etc.
But I don't know how to achieve this when the tables don't already exist. I don't want to have to edit the view each week to add in the new table.
Can anyone out there help me?
Hi,
I have an Execute Process Task that calls a batch file.
I need to pass in a date value to the batch file.
If I enter the value 20071018 in the "Arguments" section, it works fine.
However, I use the "Standard Input Variable", User::MyDate (which gets assigned in a previous Execute SQL Task), it bombs. The query I am using returns the date back in the format yyyymmdd. It gets assigned to a string variable, called MyDate.
e.g.)
SELECT TOP 1 CONVERT(VARCHAR, MyDate, 112) AS MyDate
FROM myTable
which result is mapped to User::MyDate
Is there any obvious reason why this doesn't work?
Thanks
Hi Everyone:
I have a quick but imp SSIS question. I have a For Each Loop Container, and inside that I wish to add a Execute SQL Task item, so I can call a sp to do some inserts/updates. The ForEachLoop container is looping thru a ADO Object source variable(which is the user variable defined by me, as a FullResultSet). In my Execute SQL Task, I would like to utilize one of the columns from the result set as an input parameter to my Stored procedure. Can someone please advise on how to do this? Please let me know if you have any more questions. I am waiting for a response... Thanks in advance.

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?
