Web Services Task Editor: The Input Web Services Description Language (WSDL) File Is Not Valid
Mar 14, 2006
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?
Whilst working with SSRS within SSIS I came accross an issue when trying to create a Web Service Task using the SSRS Web Service. After pointing the task to the WSDL file when I tried to access the Methods of the web service I would get the '....WSDL is not supported.' error. I also noticed that selecting the Download WSDL button would throw up and error as well.
After a bit bit of playing around I found the following solution to the problem.
Make a copy of the ReportingServices.wsdl file and make sure it is not marked as Read-Only. Point the Web Service Task editor to this new copy of the WSDL file Set the OverwriteWSDLFile option in the Web Service Task editor to True.
You should then be able to access the details of the WSDL file and the methods of the web service. I am not sure if this issue is by design but hope that this information will help others who came across the same issue?
I am finding that in order to have the Web Services Task work successfully the location of the WSDL file has to be on a local drive that SSIS is executing upon. Is the current intended behavior?
In my SSIS task I use a URL path to store information extracted from the Web Service. The information is stored on a different server than the one that SSIS is running upon. This works properly without error.
I have confirmed that SSIS has appropriate permissions to read/write to that directory on that server. When I attempt to reference the WSDL file (located in the same URL directory that I am saving the information) I get a web services error, 'The Web Services Name is empty, Verify that a valid web service name is available."
When I update the Web Service Task attribute to point to the WSDL file located on a local drive it works correctly. I have confirmed that both WSDL documents are exactly the same.
The behavior seems a little strange...so I must be missing something subtle.
This error is pretty persistent. I re-installed VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 but did not help. Every time I try to open a Script Task editor it gives me the same error regardless of the project or package. DO I NEED TO REBUILD MY SYSTEM ?

I am using SSIS 2008 tool for developing ETL package. I get below error whenever I click on script task editor.Cannot show Visual Studio 2008 Tools for Applications editor. (Microsoft Visual Studio).
I'm trying to execute a simple VBS file from the Executable command line in the Execute Process Task Editor.
My line is this : cscript.exe "c:convertcsvssisXlsToCsv.vbs"
SSIS keeps saying there are illegal characters here. I've Googled and looked about 20 articles and I can't resolve it.
I have a ForEach that loops through Excel files and changes them to CSV files using code i found. This script takes an original Excel file and transfers it to a new CSV file in a new directory.
So in DOS at the CMD line I would type : XlsTocsv.vbs originalfile.xls newfile.csv
I have the original file and new file in the Arguments line so I'm assuming that after the script executes it will look at the filepaths in the loop and loop through them so I want it do to this when it runs:
XlsTocsv.vbs [User::@ExcelFile] [User::@CSVFile]
I just can't get it to execute and I keep getting illegal characters.
Have an SSIS package with a Web Service Task, downloaded the WSDL to a local file, all is well until we try to deploy the package to another machine at which point the package expects to find the WSDL in the same place.
Am I not understanding something? Yes I can make it work, BUT:
1. Couldn't the task just get the WSDL from the web service each time, instead of from a static file? Isn't that the idea? Latest and greatest...
2. Having packages dependent on files is extremely inconvenient in a production environment. Security issues abound, things are in different places on different servers. How are folks handling this? The Web Service Task is certainly not the only place in SSIS where a package can be dependent on a file system location.
I have VS 2013 installed in my machine with SQL server 2012 ,I have installed Microsoft data tools for VS 2013,In the integration service project i used script component when i try to pen the script task its not opening VSTA projects ,its simple ideally without any action.I am facing this issue for past 2 months i tried fixing this problem but no use.
The script task editor has "Access VSTA to write script using VS 2012".So i installed VSTA tools for 2012 and 2013 but no issue.
But the script component works for VS 2010.I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio tools for VS 2012,VS2012 AND VS 2013.
If I can select an input flat file via a dialog box, or it is necessary to either hardcode the file name or change the filename everytime to a similar format; &How can a query be run and processed in SQL right after input of a flat file to continue?
I have a delimited text file with 650+ columns. The sum of the column lengths of a single row, if fully populated, exceeds 30K bytes. The "killer" fields lengthwise are the "Description" fields. If they were removed from the input file, the remainig columns would occupy about 5000 bytes, which is within SQL max row length.
Can SSIS be used to created these two tables? (one without description fields, the other with those field but arranged vertically in the table rows).
The fundamental issue is I can not import a single file row into a sql table because that row length could exceed the max byte count for a row.
Does anyone know how to do this using variables? Everytime I try it, I get the
Error: Failed to lock variable for read access with error 0xc00100001.
I also tried it writing a script and still the same error. If I hard code the values into the variables it works fine but I will be running this everday so that it will pull in the current date along with the filename. So the value of the variables will change everyday. Here is my expression:
I'm copying files to a folder with the naming convention as follows in the source folder:
CM_ABC_MY_TEST.txt
In the destination folder, this filename needs to appear as:
CM_XYZ_MY_TEST.txt
In my File System Task, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need an expression with a replace, substring, etc. But am having a hard time nailing down the exact syntax.
I have created a File System task which is contained in a Foreach Loop Container. I have .bak files that are populating a directory from a maintenance backup plan.
There is a point where I need to delete the .bak file's after I've zipped them all up.
How do I set the SourceVariable to read through the directory and pick up just the .bak file's in the directory to delete.
Could someone please instruct me on how to use the File System Task Editor to rename a file? I place control on control flow tab, change the operation to rename, from there I am not sure what to do.
Executing the FTP Task - The execution starts and after 3 or more minuts the execution stops with the RED X but with no errors, and the file is not transferred.I use the same entries to the FTP connection manager as it is for the Dreamweaver...The variable that I created for file in the site is FileName1 and the site directory tree is The local path is And The File Transfer is filled up like this: After the Execution stops I get..And the file was not transfered..Also, when I try to Specify the Variable Expretion.
I would like to store the file properties like (title, created by , created time, modified time) and load in to a audit table along with file name. I know how to design this process inside a foreach lookup with script task and execute sql task.
I'm trying to achieve this by editing my existing code which captures the most recent file based on its file properties.
public void Main() { // TODO: Add your code here var directory = new DirectoryInfo(Dts.Variables["User::Csv_Source"].Value.ToString()); FileInfo[] files = directory.GetFiles("*.csv"); DateTime lastModified = DateTime.MinValue;
I have 2 source folder .I have created variable for both source folder like below
User::Source1 and User::Source2 and 1 destination folder variable like below User::Destination
Now I have to search a file from both source folder which consist of *location_*.xml string in file name.I have to use C# Script task ,achieve above scenario as I required it on very urgent basis.
I want to open a excel file in script task and assigned the wraptext to one of the column. In the below code the final variable gives the path of the excel file. But i got the error at excel.workbook.open.

I am attempting to get this script provided by Microsoft to work to no avail. Specifically, when I set the variable FFNonDataRows to 1 (in order to accommodate for the header row), the variable is not being set to False as expected. I don't know enough about C# to understand why this script isn't working. How to get this script to work in this manner?
I have an SSIS package doing a bulk insert from a file. Then later on I'm trying to delete that file (in a file delete task), but I'm getting an error:[File System Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The process cannot access the file 'xyz' because it is being used by another process.".I'm wondering if there isn't some way to 'tweak' the bulk insert syntax so that it doesn't lock the file?
I have a Data Flow Task within a ForEach loop container. The source of the flow is ADO.NET connection and the destination is a Flat File Connection. I loop through a collection of strings in the ForEach loop. Based on the string content, I write some data to the same destination file in each iteration overwriting the previous version. I am running into following Errors:
[Flat File Destination [38]] Warning: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. [Flat File Destination [38]] Error: Cannot open the datafile "Example.csv". [SSIS.Pipeline] Error: Flat File Destination failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020200E.
I know what's happening but I don't know how to fix it. The first time through the ForEach loop, the destination file is updated. The second time is when this error pops up. I think it's because the first iteration is not closing the destination file. How do I force a close of the file within Data Flow task or through a subsequent Script Task.This works within a SQL 2008 package on one server but not within SQL 2012 package on a different server.
I've a dataflow task on For Each Loop container at control flow of SSIS package. This For Each Loop container reads the CSV files from the specified location one by one, and populates a variable with current file name. Note, the tables where I would like to push the data from each CSV file are also having the same names as CSV file names.On the dataflow task, I've Flat File component as a source, this component uses the above variable to read the data of a particular file.
Now, here my question comes, how can I move the data to destination, SQL table, using the same variable name?I've tried to setup the OLE DB destination component dynamically but it executes well only for first time. It does not change the mappings as per the columns of the second CSV file. There're around 50 CSV files, each has different set off columns in it. These files needs to be migrated to SQL tables using the optimum way.
Which is the best way to setup the Dataflow task for this requirement?Also, I cannot use Bulk insert task here as we would like to keep a log of corrupted rows.
I want to show my reports in different language . For this i have added a parameter Language on the report that contain all the language . Now i want to change all the captions of Report and parameter list in selected language .
I have an SSIS script task using c#. i need to refere an .xsd dataset in the c# code. i tried to set property below.Build action to Content or Compile Copy to output directory Copy always But still i m unable to use the dataset in my code.

I attempted to use Move Directory to move the contents of one directory to another. I encountered the 'different volume' issue that others have experienced. While this error is frustrating I can work past this particular issue. My more pressing question is why is the move directory command overwriting a destination directory? When I setup the Move directory file task I provided two vars to hold src and dest location:
dest var: estserveroutput src var: devserverdev estfiles Set overwrite destination = TRUE
Why would Move Directory overwrite output folder at destination? Shouldn't it only overwrite if the testfiles directory exists at destination? This is very frustrating since I cannot find enough information in the official documentation to understand what is happening here.
Is it just me or does the documentation for Move directory seem.....incomplete?
When publish report define file (SSRS2008 ) to SSRS2008 server , it throws that the report definition is not valid. But I use VS2008 deploy it and it is succeeded to publish to SSRS2008 Server. Why ?
<errorinfo>Details: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character.</errrorinfo><code> Reporting Service 2005 m_ReportingService = new ReportingService2005();this.m_ReportingService.CreateReport(reportName, parentFolder, overwrite, report, null)</code>
I am getting this error when upgraded to SQL Server 2012. Earlier the same report(.rdl) just working fine on SQL Server 2008 R2.
Message = System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The value of parameter 'param' is not valid. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices. Diagnostics. Utilities.InvalidParameterException: The value of parameter 'param' is not valid. ---> System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The Uri string is too long.
Is there anything changed in SQL Server 2012 regarding this.
From SQL Server 2014, using SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio - BI, I'm trying to edit a Script Component within an SSIS Data Flow Task. The 'Edit Script...' button is enabled and turns a nice shade of blue when moused over, but a click has no effect. Perhaps I'm missing a component of VSTA? Everything else seems to work correctly. What might I be missing?
