Problems creating an SSIS package: adding a script task causes data at root level is invalid error

I am trying to create my first SSIS package using SQL 2012 Server Data Tools which will invoke a script task. I added the script task, put in the code, and when I try to test out the package, I get a "data at the root level is invalid" error
message. I tried creating a new project from scratch, did a build and run w/in the IDE (with no code behind), worked ok. Added the script task (with no code behind), and I get the same error.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Are you sure it is not XML?
How would I repro the issue?
Please share all the steps, but I think the code has an issue.

Ssis package calling two scripts in different application

i tried it but ts picking only the first one.Has anyone created a ssis package to cal a script in different appliction

Hello,
Typically the modifyscript is something like this:
TASK(Execute formulas,USER,%USER%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APPSET,%APPSET%)
TASK(Execute formulas,APP,%APP%)
TASK(Execute formulas,SELECTION,%SELECTIONFILE%)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICFILE,%APPPATH%\..\AdminApp\%APP%\Script.lgf)
TASK(Execute formulas,RUNMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,LOGICMODE,1)
TASK(Execute formulas,CHECKLCK,%CHECKLCK%)
The values enclosed between %% are variables. By default the value of %APP% variable is current application.
The good: you can replace the variable with specific application name so the package can execute te logic correctly.
The bad: %SELECTIONFILE% which contains the scope for the calculation is based on the current application.
The ugly: you need to experiment on your own, I haven't seen this being done before.
More appropriate solution would be creating special logic using *RUNLOGIC instruction. This helps you to control different dimensionality of the apps.
Cheers!

How to create a SSIS package

Create a SSIS package for following scenario
I have one excel file which will contain 10 records for Monday, 12 records for Tuesday, 7 on Wed, no records on
Thursday so if records are there I get mail if no records are there I didn't get mail daily.

Hi,
You can use Row Count transformation to capture the number of records in a variable and then depending on the count you can send out an email.
Following are the steps.
Create a variable RecordCount of type int (Int32).
Add a Data Flow Task.
Create an Excel Connection Manager and connect to the excel file.
Add an Excel Source and select the Excel Connection Manager.
Add a Row Count Transformation and select the variable RecordCount in VariableName under Custom Properties.
Add a Send Mail Task in the Control Flow and connect it to the Data Flow Task
Configure your Send Mail Task as per your requirement. You will have to specify an SMTP connection.
Double click on the Precedence Constraint.
Select Expression in Evaluation operation
Set Expression as @[User::RecordCount]>0
Hope this will help.

domain\user account has not proper rights
That being said, often SSIS jobs require a proxy to be runnable and this is how you make one up

Problem with execute SSIS package from stored procedure

Hi,
I would like to execute SSIS package from stored procedure. Therefore, I implemented sp which exec SSISDB.CATALOG.CREATE_EXECUTION method. When I try to test it from SSMS on remote server, I got error that
I was able to solve by adding “WITH EXECUTE AS …”. Then I got another error: The server principal "Domain\user" is not able to access the database "SSISDB" under the current security context. On Internet, I found a couple post that describe
how to access SSIS catalog (one of them by Ke Yang -
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mattm/archive/2012/03/20/ssis-catalog-access-control-tips.aspx). It didn’t help. I’m still getting the error message.
How to debug this issue?
Any suggestion?
Thanks

SQL Agent job step - SSIS package - adding a config file - will it override the one that the package specifies?

If I setup a job step to run a package and set the config file location on the "Configurations" tab, will that override the config file that the SSIS package is configured to use? Or is this a "cumulative" type configuration option?
I typically have my config file mixed in with my project files, but that path wont exist on the server.

Hi Shiftbit,
ETL vs ELT is right.
In SSIS 2005, the DTExec utility loads and runs the package, events occur in the following order:
The package file is loaded.
The configurations specified in the package at design time are applied in the order specified in the package (except for Parent Package Variables).
Any options specified from the command line are applied. Any configurations specified on the command line overwrite the current values; however, they do not trigger a reload of the configurations if a changed value impacts a configuration dependency. For
example, if the connection string used for SQL Server configurations is updated from the command line at run time, the package will still retain any other values from the design-time SQL Server configuration database.
Parent Package Variable Configurations are applied.
The package is run.
In SSIS 2008 and higher, utility loads and runs the package, events occur in the following order:
The dtexec utility loads the package.
The utility applies the configurations that were specified in the package at design time and in the order that is specified in the package. (The one exception to this is the Parent Package Variables configurations. The utility applies these configurations
only once and later in the process.)
The utility then applies any options that you specified on the command line.
The utility then reloads the configurations that were specified in the package at design time and in the order specified in the package. (Again, the exception to this rule is the Parent Package Variables configurations). The utility uses any command-line
options that were specified to reload the configurations. Therefore, different values might be reloaded from a different location.
The utility applies the Parent Package Variable configurations.
The utility runs the package.
So, we can see that no matter we use SSIS 2005 which applies the Configurations once or use SSIS 2008 (or higher) which applies the configurations twice, the configurations specified in the command line will affect and not be overwritten by the configurations
specified at design-time.

Is it a bug - SSIS 2012 ReadOnlyVariables in Script Task doesn't work

It's very weird when I use the ReadOnlyVariables in SSIS 2012 Script Task, it doesn't work at all!!! And I never notice this change before, but everything in 2008 R2 is fine! Is it a bug in SSIS 2012 ?
All the variables I set them to "ReadOnlyVariables"
In scripts - I assigned some values from system variables.
String PackageName = Dts.Variables["System::PackageName"].Value.ToString();
DateTime CurrentDate = (DateTime)Dts.Variables["System::StartTime"].Value;
// User Defined Variables
Dts.Variables["User::PV_CURRENT_DATE"].Value = CurrentDate;
Dts.Variables["User::PV_YEAR"].Value = CurrentDate.Year;
Dts.Variables["User::PV_MONTH"].Value = CurrentDate.Month;
Dts.Variables["User::PV_DAY"].Value = CurrentDate.Day;
Dts.Variables["User::PV_PACKAGE_NAME"].Value = PackageName;
Execute the package, it works !
The only thing I can make it as SSIS 2008 R2 does is to change the ReadOnly for each variables.
Then you will get the error.
Why do we need this feature here but not to use the ReadOnlyVariables in script task ?
Please vote if it's helpful and mark it as an answer!

I can reproduce it as well. Feels like a bug...
Locking the variable for read in code has the same effect:
public void Main()
// Lock variable for read
Dts.VariableDispenser.LockForRead("User::myStringVariable");
// Create a variables 'container' to store variables
Variables vars = null;
// Add variable from the VariableDispenser to the variables 'container'
Dts.VariableDispenser.GetVariables(ref vars);
// Now try giving it a new name
vars["User::myStringVariable"].Value = "new value";
// Release the locks
vars.Unlock();
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;

SQL Server 2005 agent job runs a SSIS package ( Analysis Services Processing Task) fails

Hi,
SQL Server 2005 standard edition.
I have a SSIS package which has a Analysis Services Processing Task. I have tested the package in BIDS and it runs ok. But when I created a agent job and run it from the job it reports error:
Code: 0xC0012024 Source: Analysis Services Processing Task Description: The task "Analysis Services Processing Task" cannot run on this edition of Integration Services.
It requires a higher level edition.
This is the result of select @@version

Web Reference inside Script Task causes Binary code for script not found error

I am attempting to access a SOAP web API (sales force) from a SSIS package. To do this I created a script task.
Inside the script task I went to Add Service Reference. Then I click advanced to make it a web reference. Then I point it to the WSDL file and give it a name SFEnterprise. It successfully finds and adds the Web Reference to the script task.
I leave scriptMain.cs alone and I have no warnrings and no errors. Now in the solution explorer I right-click the script task and hit BUILD. I see the message from Output that BUILD succeeded.
I close the VSTA script editor and now I am back on the control flow window. However I have a red X on the script task with the following message. "The Binary code for the script is not found. Please open the script in the designer by clicking EditScript
button and make sure it builds successfully"
But it does build successfully! And I have not even added any custom code except for the web reference using the WSDL file.
I am using SSIS 2012 and Visual Studio 2012. I have been reading about this binary code error message on Google searches and suggestions about delay validation and turning off pre-compile do not apply to SSIS 2012.
Is SSIS not capable of doing this?

I was wanting to use the 2.0 coding style of accessing the soap service which is supported by adding the web reference vs. adding a service reference. But using a service reference instead of web reference actually allows the script task to compile. This
is really odd behavior. I wonder why one works and not the other.
Changing my C# code over to service reference coding style to access the SOAP service was still returning an error. When I added a break point I found the error message "Could not find default endpoint element that references contract in the ServiceModel
client configuration section"when calling new SoapClient();
I found this page http://www.sqlis.com/sqlis/post/Where-is-my-appconfig-for-SSIS.aspx and after I copied the System.ServiceModel app settings from the script task app.config to the DTSDebugHost.exe.config it was able to successfully login to the endpoint
during package debug mode.
This means I will have to edit the SQL Server DTS config files on the prod SSIS server to get the package to actually run in the job agent.
So for now I am good I think just plugging away at coding what the script task is actually supposed to do now that is can actually login.

Problem creating native extension package

In an effort to learn how to create a native extension on my own, I've looked to the examples and help documentation from Adobe. I have actually created the required files for the extension (the native code, extension descriptor, the swc library and library.swf). However, when I run the command to build the .ane file I get this error:
/Users/dalston/TeamAGC/sdk/4.6.0/bin/adt -package -target ane ../release/DeviceInfoExtension.ane extension.xml -swc DeviceInfoExtension.swc -platform iPhone-ARM library.swf libDeviceInfo.a
output file is not writable
I also tried a variation of that command that results in the same error (which comes straight from the Adobe help docs):
/Users/dalston/TeamAGC/sdk/4.6.0/bin/adt -package -target ane ../release/DeviceInfoExtension.ane extension.xml -swc DeviceInfoExtension.swc -platform iPhone-ARM -C platform/ios . -platform default -C platform/default library.swf
output file is not writable
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Has anyone had this problem before? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Colin,
The folder I was working from /Users/dalston/TeamAGC/sdk/4.6.0, which is where the AIR sdk resides. The actual directory with the native extension files are in /Users/dalston/Documents/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6/DeviceInfoExtension/bin/DeviceInfoExtension. When I run the ls command I see all the folders under the main user (dalston, which is me). I believe I have read/write access to everything since I am the adminsitrator on this machine. I am on a Mac by the way.

I don't see how you're going to pivot that using SSIS. I happen to know VBA pretty well, and I'll give you this Macro, which should do what you want.
Sub CombineRows()
lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'set rowcount to row where you want 1st entry
RowCount = 1
NewRow = RowCount
Start = False
Do While RowCount <= lastRow
If Start = False Then
If Range("A" & RowCount) <> "" Then
Start = True
StartRow = RowCount
End If
Else
If Range("A" & (RowCount + 1)) = "" Then
ColCount = 1
For MoveRow = StartRow To RowCount
Cells(NewRow, ColCount) = Cells(MoveRow, "A")
ColCount = ColCount + 1
Next MoveRow
NewRow = NewRow + 1
Start = False
End If
End If
RowCount = RowCount + 1
Loop
Rows(NewRow & ":" & lastRow).Delete
End Sub
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

SSIS package takes longer time when inserting data into temp tables

querying records from one server and inserting them into temp tables is taking longer time.
are there any setting in package which enhance the performance .

will local temp table (#temp ) enhance the performance ..
If you're planning to use # tables in ssis make sure you read this

I have a SQL Server 2012 SSIS package with a script task along with other tasks [data flow, execute sql tasks ]. When I manually executed the job through BIDS, its completed successfully.
Then I have automated the execution of the package through SQL Server Agent Job. But when I executed the package through SQL Agent job, it runs successfully for all the tasks except script task. When it comes to execute the Script Task, it is getting failed
with the below error message.

Runtime error Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" from Script task

I have a SSIS package with a script task, I get
the following error when i try to run it in my local system. It works fine for my collegues as well as in production. However, I am not able to run it locally, to test. I keep a debug point in the main method, but it is never reached, I get the error before
it goes to main method.
I am using VS 2010, .Net framework 4.5.
The script task does compile. I get the following messages SSIS package "..\Test.dtsx" starting. Error: 0x1 at Test: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Task failed: Test SSIS package "..\Test.dtsx" finished: Success.
The program '[2552] DtsDebugHost.exe: DTS' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

The following is the code:
public void Main()

foreach (WorkItem wi in objWIC)
catch(Exception ex)
When I commented the code from TfsTeamProjectCollection objTPC = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri(strTPCUrl)); The script executes successfully. However, if i keep TfsTeamProjectCollection objTPC = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri(strTPCUrl));
and comment the rest, i get the exception.
I do have access to the URL
