When trying to set up a Web Service Task in SSIS I get this error message when I click on the "Test Connection" button:
Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.
The web service is http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx. When I enter the same URL into Internet Explorer it connects to the web service with no errors. We do have a proxy server. What is causing my problem?

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.

Hi,
I have created a SSIS package with Web Service task in it,which execute remote server web service
I got following error during Web service execution
Note:I am not using proxy settings,i also checked HTTP connection and it suceeded
Error:[Web Service Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: Could not execute the Web method.

Please help..

Hello,
I'm pretty stuck on a security issue in SSIS. The web service works by itself, but I can't call it from SSIS, it gives me a 401 unauthorized error. The web service also uses impersonation of my domain admin account.
I have tried the following things:
Setting integrated windows authentication in IIS
Setting the NTFS permissions of those web site directories to EVERYONE
Using a credential / proxy in SSIS and running it from SQL Agent
Changing the log on services of MSSQLSERVER, SQLAGENT, and SQL Integration Services to my domain admin account
I can't get anything to work. What is wrong with this thing? Microsoft's security model has gotten completley out of of hand imo
Also in the security event log it shows all authentication as successful.
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?
[Web Service Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: Could not execute the Web method.

I'm trying to use the message queue task in SSIS 2005 and not getting very far. Right off the bat I'm trying to create a Message Queue Connection Manager and when I enter the path, trying both "seawxxxx estq" (my local computer name) or ". estq" and test it, it comes back with "invalid path". Have done quite a bit of searching around and can't find anything on this particular error.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I am working on the SSIS FTP Task that transfer file from one FTP server to local location, rename the file name, and finally transfer the renamed file to another FTP server. So I defined 2 FTP tasks.
For the FTP file receive operation, I need the remote path to be updated by a script and pass to the user define variable. So I set TRUE to IsRemotePathVariable. In the RemoteVariable, I set User::FTPSourcePath where the variable is set in the script with "/DMFTP/filename1.jpg"
For the FTP file send operation, I set TRUE to IsRemotePathVariable. In the RemoteVariable, I set User::FTPDestPath where the variable is set in the script with "/DestFTP/"
After all the setting, the FTP Task box show me the error as "Variable "FTPSourcePath" doesn't start with "/". Another FTP box show me "Variable "FTPDestPath" doesn't start with "/"
Can anyone help me on this problem?? Thanks.
Hi there,
I'm creating an SSIS package that will execute legacy dts packages. The package to be executed is decided at runtime using a sql query task.
Executing a dts package statically works fine, but when I try to set the details of the dts to be run via expressions, I get the error below.
To make it dynamic, I created a variable of type string, and put the package name in here. I also have a string variable for the packageid. Then I set up an expression on the Execute DTS 2000 Package Task that sets the PackageName & PackageID property to this variable.
The PackageId is a string variable I've retrieved using:
select top 1 name,
cast(id AS varchar(50)) id,
cast(versionid AS varchar(50)) versionid
from sysdtspackages
where name = @PackageName
order by createdate desc
When I use the task to set the package id it works find (by selecting a dts, then changing the name), but when I try to provide the package id I get this message:
Error: 0x0 at Execute DTS 2000 Package Task: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8004040E): Invalid GUID specified.
at DTS.PackageClass.LoadFromSQLServer(String ServerName, String ServerUserName, String ServerPassword, DTSSQLServerStorageFlags Flags, String PackagePassword, String PackageGuid, String PackageVersionGuid, String PackageName, Object& pVarPersistStgOfHost)

at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.Exec80PackageTask.Exec80PackageTask.ExecuteThread()
Task failed: Execute DTS 2000 Package Task
but the method signature specifies String PackageGuid, and it is a string..
any ideas??
i tried casting the variable like so:
(DT_GUID) @[User:TSPkgId], as the versionid is a uniqueidentifier on sysdtspackages.. It didn't like that at all (can't cast from type DT_WSTR to DT_GUID error code 0xC00470C2)
I have an almost virgin install of SQLExpres running on a WIN2K Pro system.
Have been able to create and connect db to Access 2000 without problem.
Now I wish to extend to remote connections. Using Surface Area Configuration tool, I changed Remote Connections to Local and Remote.
Whenever this setting contains TCP/IP and I try to restart the service I receive the following errors:
System Log:
The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 10013.
Application Log:
Server TCP provider failed to listen on [ 'any' <ipv4> 0]. Tcp port is already in use.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x271d, status code 0xa.
TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x271d, status code 0x1.
Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately preceding this one in the error log.
SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.
If I change back to Local Connections Only or Local and Remote using named pipes only, the service starts up again without a problem.
After five days of investigating, researching, reinstalling and waiting I have to ask for help.
Any suggestions or leads?
Thank You in advance.
Hi All,
We seem to be being plagued by the error below by our SQL Server agent. This happens almost everytime we restart the server that has been running for a day or two.
Our SQL Server Agent uses a none expiring domain credential. I understand that this problem only happens when the profile being used by the SQL Servr Agent has changed (password change). What puzzles me is that the login is A ok and no changes has been made to it's password.
We always resolve this problem by changing the login used in the SQL Server Agent to local and after that, returning it back to it's original domain login. Unfortunately, we cant always do this everytime something goes wrong.
Can anyone please help us shed a light on this? We're using SQL2k with SP3a. Thanks!
Error:
An error 1069 - )The service did not start due to logon failure) occurred while performing this service operation on the SQLServerAgent service.

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.
Thanks in advance
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 receive the following error message when I try to use the Bulk Insert Task to load BCP data into a table:
Error: 0xC002F304 at Bulk Insert Task, Bulk Insert Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.The bulk load failed. The column is too long in the data file for row 1, column 4. Verify that the field terminator and row terminator are specified correctly.Bulk load data conversion error (overflow) for row 1, column 1 (rowno).".
Task failed: Bulk Insert Task
In SSMS I am able to issue the following command and the data loads into a TableName table with no error messages:
BULK INSERT TableName
FROM 'C:DataDbTableName.bcp'
WITH (DATAFILETYPE='widenative');
What configuration is required for the Bulk Insert Task in SSIS to make the data load? BTW - the TableName.bcp file is bulk copy file as bcp widenative data type. The properties of the Bulk Insert Task are the following:
DataFileType: DTSBulkInsert_DataFileType_WideNative
RowTerminator: {CR}{LF}
Any help getting the bcp file to load would be appreciated. Let me know if you require any other information, thanks for all your help.

Executing the simplest of Web Service tasks consistently fail with the error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
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?

A package contains a web service task which makes a call to a web service. This call may take some time to complete (maybe up to 5-10 minutes). In it's simplest form, my package is reporting a failure. Error message is
"Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: The Web Service threw an error during method execution. The error is: The operation has timed out.
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 have a web service running from multipule locations. Its the same service at all the locations. I am trying to use a for loop to execute a web service task dynamically setting the url of the http connection manager that the webservice task uses. I have succesfuly done this, but the task is using a url from the wsdl file that is stored locally to access the service regardless of what the url is in the http connection manager is. Is there any way to force the web service task to download the wsdl file every time it's executed or is there an easier way for accomplishing this?

hi all,
I am creating a simple ssis package in business inteligence studio 2005. In that i am going to use an webservice task. I have assigned the wsdl and the configured the HTTP connection too. I have selected the service name and the method to be called. I have to give 2 input values for the web method. I need to make it dynamic. so i have planned to assign the variables for those input parameters. But In the webservice editor window there is only the provision to assign the vales for the input parameters. how can i assign valriables instead of setting the values directly.
I have also find in blogs that there will be a variable checkbox available. But i cant find the one..
Any one plz let me know the solution for this
Thankz
I have been struggling with a problem with the Web Service Task. I have a package that uses this and has to authenticate to the web service. This works fine on my development server but if I export the package to file and run from another computer / user, the package fails as it doesn't log in to the web service. I have found the problem to be the package was set to default of EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey and I understand why this is. If I change to use EncryptSensitiveWithPassword, it prompts for creds and works fine. My question is how do I use a package configuration file to use different creds (there is not password option for the http connection) so I can standardize on use of config files for this operation. Thanks.

Hi,
I am trying to create a simple BI Application for SSIS. In Visual Studio 2005 I just get a Data Flow Task from the toolbar and add it to the project. When I double click it I get the following error:
The task with the name "Data Flow Task" and the creation name "DTS.Pipeline.1" is not registered for use on this computer.
Then when I try to delete it it gives this other error:
Cannot remove the specified item because it was not found in the specified Collection.
I am creating this application in an administrator account in this computer, so I doubt the problem is related to permissions. I am running SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 in WinXP Tablet PC Edition.
Any suggestions why this is happening and how to fix it?
I am retrieving data from Web Services by using Web Service Task. In the General pane, I successfuly download the wsdl file. There are 3 methods included in this file. However, I cannot see these methods in the list box in Input pane. I have installed SP2. Could anyone tell me why?

I have created a Web service and I want to call a single method from it to extract data. For this reason I use the SSIS "Web Service Task" .

My problem is that I cannot create a xsd schema for the xml file output from the "web service task", and because of this I cannot insert the data in the xml file into the Database, because the xsd schema is reqired by the XML Source which I use in my DataFlow task for inserting the data.
Do you have any ideas how to solve this strange problem?

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.
Hello,
I have a web service contained in a apache tomcat server and I try to execute a webservice and store the result into a flat file.But I have a message saying me that there is an error in the xml document.
I suppose that it's my wsdl file.
But my wsdl file is fine!!!
Can the error come from the provider of the web service (Apache Tomcat).
I suppose that because in every example on the internet I didn't see an example an tomcat or other web server use.
I am trying to call a web service using the web service task and passing it variables, but even when I set variables to be Strings/any other data type, they always get passed out as objects. The call is then rejected based on the fact that there is no web service that accepts those parameter types. If there is a workaround to this problem, that would be great, otherwise I think I'm going to have to call the web services in a script task. Would someone please give me an example of the steps necessary to call a web service from the script task?
Thank you,

Hello,
I am trying to sync a database with data from a web service.
In my control flow I have the Web Service Task setup correctly (I can run the project and the expected data is output to a file if I set the output of the web service task to type "File Connection").
What I would like to do is set the OutputType of my Web Service Task to "Variable" and have the Xml Source component in my Data Flow read the variable and process it.
I have already created a variable of type string to link the two parts together, but I have not figured out how.
Any suggestions? I have been searching the web, but have not found an answer to my question.

Hi,
I m trying to use the web services task, but when i try to run it i got the following error
[Web Service Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: Could not execute the Web method. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.. at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebMethodInvokerProxy.InvokeMethod(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTaskUtil.Invoke(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection, VariableDispenser taskVariableDispenser) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTask.executeThread()".
This is probably because i never worked with this task, even so, does anyone knows what might be wrong?
I got a connection a wsdl, i can configure the service, method and variables(i use fixed values), and i configure the output to a variable with the type object(i have tryed string and int)
I even can download the wsdl file, but the error seems to be in the connection
Thanks
Hi!
I am quite new using SSIS and I have a problem with catching an (SOAP) exception from a Web service task. Some times my web service task can fail and when the web service is failing, it is throwing an exception. When the task succeeds the result is being put into a variable, That part is not a problem.
But catching an exception is. I have tried to use a script task and tried to get exception from the dts object model. I have not yet succeeded on that. But it might be a possible way to go. A different approach might be creating an OnError event on my web service task which I can create a task when triggered. But I have not found any solution yet and I hope some people out there have done this before or have a solution on this.

I create a native web service (Soap) on a third party vendor product that is integrated with Net Framework 2.0
I create a client for this in VS 2000. It works fine [Client can access the web service]
Now I go and create a SSIS Package with a web service task and try to hook up to the same web service.
The package fails. Why?
Any help appreciated.
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.
Hi,
I'm looking to run a "job" on a SQL database regularly (like scheduled by a "task scheduler") to updated my database.
It appears I can use SQL Service broker to run such a job.
Can I embed a "task scheduler" inside my SQL Server database to trigger this job each X seconds?
