Using msbuild to create an SSIS 2012 .ispac file

I'm trying to use msbuild to create an *.ispac Integration Services 2012 deployment file.
msbuild foo.dtproj /t:Clean /p:Configuration=Development;OutputDir=C:\
When I run msbuild from the commandline I get the following error:
error MSB4041: The default XML namespace of the project must be the MSBuild XML namespace. If the project is authored in the MSBuild 2003 format,please add xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" to the <Project>
element. If the project has been authored in the old 1.0 or 1.2 format, please convert it to MSBuild 2003 format.

I saw the MSBuild Extension pack (http://msbuildextensionpack.codeplex.com) but it wasn't clear if this had been updated to support 2012 or not.
Was this the code you were thinking of?
Nope, this is it:

Error when trying to use excel source editor in SSIS 2012

I am using SQL Server 2012. This error occurs when I try o select the name of excel sheet in excel source editor in SSIS 2012. I am on win 7 64 Bit machine. I have office 2010.
Could not retrieve the table information for the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'. Failed to connect to the source using the connection manager 'Excel Connection Manager'.
Thanks in advance

Hi Satya, I even tried installing 32-bit ACE OLE DB providers even before posting this and I do not have permissions
to install it on my machine. I will work with IT Dept and update the status on how it goes.
Thanks

Using Acrobat to create a PDF from .swf files

I'm trying to beef up a standard powerpoint presentation into something i could have more control over, and was considering Acrobat as it would (i hoped) allow me to import .swf files from Flash. In reading up on just how flexible acrobat is though, it doesn't really seem to have all of the functionality that i want - if anyone could offer feedback on the following, that would be great in terms of clearing up the queries that i have beforehand!
essentially, i want to create a PDF file which will open fulllscreen on any machine with no toolbars, windows, additional content in the window except my PDF content. So i would have a central shape/box, which would be white, on which i have text.
I want this to open centrescreen, fullscreen, with no acrobat reader branding / navigation visible at all. Similar to the way a powerpoint document would open, however - i don't want Adobe Reader to scale my PDF at all.
I've set my canvas in flash to 1024x768, and i would want Reader to display my file at exactly 1024x768 pixels, and not scale the document up to suit different monitors. So in a way, utilising something like you could with a Flash projector file where you could set the fullscreen's "allowscale" function to "false" (keeping the document at exactly 100%) and the actual fullscreen call itself to "true" (display the document in fullscreen mode, taking over your entire monitor).
Also, i would want to specify a 'background', which is simple in flash as i can just create an oversized movie clip with whatever i want to appear in the background, and this will cover any excess area in monitors that exceed my canvas size. (So i usually create a movie clip of an image or gradient for the background that measures 2600 x 1600 pixels). Will acrobat be able to render this correctly, or is it just going to display the actual canvas size and exclude my oversized 'background' movie clip? If i use my 1024 x 768 canvas, will it clip the big background movie clip to fit?
Thanks folks... bit long winded but i just wanted to make sure i've covered the bases!

Like it or not, InDesign is a color managed application, and your files are all being managed.
You'll always have less grief if the working spaces match the output, but that isn't always possible. If you want to to convert to the profiles specified in the CSF file, choose one of the "Convert to Profile" settings and select the correct profile as the destination. You'll have two options, preserve numbers, or don't preserve numbers.
Preserving numbers will cause colors to shift, but will preserve 100% K blacks. Not preseving numbers will change the numbers to give you the closes match possible in appearance, but will royally screw up your 100% K type if going to press.

SSIS 2012 continuous integration using msbuild

Hi,
I have an SSIS 2012 project file *.dtproj. I want to create .ispac file from a program for continuous integration. I saw posts saying we cannot do it using msbuild. What are the other options? Has anyone used ssismsbuild (sqlsrvintegrationsrv codeplex)
I am very new to .NET and SSIS. Any example or step by step instruction to achieve this is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh
I created a CI system for SSIS 2012. I used Microsoft.SqlServer.IntegrationServices.Build.dll from
the (Microsoft
SQL Server Community Samples: Integration Services) to make the MSBuild working. Jenkins is used
for CI system. Details can be found from this link: http://speaksql.wordpress.com/2013/09/04/ssis-2012-continuous-integration-using-jenkins-and-octopus-a-journey-to-db-deployment-automation/

Weird question in SSIS 2012 package

hi folks:
I've created a SSIS 2012 package in my local machine using
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Designer
Version 11.0.3436.0
This package contains a script task using .NET framework 4 .
Everything works fine and I decided to deploy to the QA server.
On the QA server, the package wont' work then I decided to open in the SSIS designer with the same version 11.0.3436.0
This is when this weird things happens.
On the QA machine, when I opened this deployed pkg directly in SSIS designer and ran it, the pkg failed with the error pointing to the script task.
Then, I literally opened the script task and closed it WITHOUT changing anything .
After that, I ran the same package in SSIS designer... Guess what, it worked!!!
Weird! could anyone here help explain what just happened? this makes my deployment process a nightmare as I have to literally opened the script task after it gets deployed and change the pkg location as SSIS designer will save the "good"
pkg in a different location other than deployed one.
Thanks a lot!

Hi cat_ca,
According to your description, the first time you run the SSIS package in SSIS designer, the package failed with the error pointing to the script task, you opened and closed the script task and re-run the package, it worked fine.
When we debug the SSIS package, the script component will be compiled to binary. In this case, the binary reverse failed due to some reason, so the script task is not normally build. To troubleshoot the problem, we can make use of logging feature to monitor
execution of an SSIS package.

Using Jmagick to create Thumbnail of video file

Hello ,
I have used Imagemagick to create the thumbnail of video file, but it takes a lot of time to generate the thumbnail.
So, is there anyway to capture thumbnail a bit faster than it does?
Thanks in Advance.

Nishant_Shah wrote:
So, is there anyway to capture thumbnail a bit faster than it does?In JMF, you'd have to load the video into memory and take a screen shot of the first frame by starting the video, which is a pretty slow process. Whether or not it'd be "faster", I don't know, but it wouldn't be "fast"...
The "fast" way to do it is to open a video file as a binary data file, strip off the header, and convert the section of data representing the first frame into an image. That'd be super fast, but take a long, long, long, long, long time to implement as you'd have to write a custom one for each video format.

Hi,
Yes you are right. At one sever where I was getting error, DateTime was in USA format and Where It was running successfully was in AUS format.
I changed from USA to AUS and I did another changes:

EXEC [DBO].[SP_TEST]
@FROMDATETIME = ?,
@TODATETIME = ?
and It is working fine.

How to create a Pooled VDI infrastructure using Win server 2012 as VM image?I have followed the "usual" way to build a pooled VDI desktop using Win7 or Win8 with success, but it fails when I use an image of Win Server 2012 as VM

I have followed the "usual" way to build a pooled VDI desktop using Win7 or Win8 with success, but it fails when I use an image of Win Server 2012 as VM instead.
Am I overlooking something? Should I need to prepare the image in a different way? (Sysprep differently?)
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Can you specify the error which you are facing during VDI setup for server 2012?
I might think that you need to check the memory setting for server 2012, as might happens that due to less memory you can’t setup the VDI setup properly.
Memory: If the Master VM is configured with static memory, it must have at least 1024 MB as startup RAM. If the Master VM is configured with dynamic memory, the maximum RAM must be at least 1024 MB.
Please check beneath article for information.

SSIS 2012 package scheduling with SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi, We have a ssis 2012 package with parameters & would like to schedule this package in SQL Server 2008 R2 agent. Is there a way to pass parameters to the ssis package from SQL Server 2008 R2 agent?
Thanks in advance..........

You cant use SQL 2008 R2 to schedule it as dtexec 2008 cant execute package created using SSIS 2012. The inverse can be done though

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;

HELP: SSIS 2012 - Execute SQL Task with resultset to populate user variables produces DBNull error

I am experiencing an unexplainable behavior with the Execute SQL Task control in SSIS 2012. The following is a description of how to simulate
the issue I will attempt to describe:
1. Create a package and add two variables User::varTest1 and User::varTest2 both of String type with default value of "Select GetDate()"
for each, have shown this to not matter as the same behavior occurs when using a fixed string value or empty string value.
2. Add a new Execute SQL Task to the control flow.
3. Configure an OLE DB connection.
4. Set SQLSourceType = "Direct Input"
5. Set the ResultSet property of the task to "Single Row"
6. In the ResultSet tab add two results as follows:
Result Name: returnvalue1, Variable Name: User::varTest1
Result Name: returnvalue2, Variable Name: User::varTest2
7. Set an expression for the SqlStatementSource property with a string value of "Select 'Test' returnvalue1, 'Testing' returnvalue2'"
The idea is that the source would be dynamically set in order to run a t-sql statement which would have dynamic values for database name
or object that would be created at runtime and then executed to set the user variable values from its resultset. Instead what occurs is that a DBNull error occurs.
I am not sure if anyone else has experienced this behavior performing similiar actions with the Execute SQL Task or not. Any help would be
appreciated. The exact message is as follows:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: An error occurred while assigning a value to variable "varRestoreScript": "The type of the value
(DBNull) being assigned to variable "User::varRestoreScript" differs from the current variable type (String). Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object.
User::varRestoreScript is the first return value. And even with the a dummy select the same result occurs. I have narrowed the issue down
to the T-SQL Statement structure itself.
The following works just fine within the execute sql task control as long as no resultset is configured for return:
"Declare @dynamicSQL nvarchar(max)
Select @dynamicSQL = name
From sys.databases
Where name = 'master'
Select atest_var1=@dynamicSQL, atest_var2='static'"
I have tried various iterations of the script above with no success. However, if I use the following derivative of it the task completes
successfully and variables are set as expected. This will not work for my scenario however as I need to dynamically build a string spanning multiple resultsets to build one of the variable values.
"Select atest_var1=name, atest_var2='static'
From sys.databases
Where name = 'master'
I have a sample package which can reproduce this issue using the above code. You can get to that through the post on www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1582670-364-1.aspx
Scott

Arthur, the query when executed doesn't return a null value for the @dynamicSQL variable. It returns "master" as a string value. Even the following fails which implements that suggestion:
Declare @dynamicSQL as nvarchar(max)
Select @dynamicSQL = name
From master.sys.databases
Where name = 'master' -- (or any other DB name)
I believe I have found the cause of the issue. It is datatype and size related. The above script will properly set the variables in the resultset as long as you don't use nvarchar(max) or varchar(max). This makes the maximum data size for
a String variable 4000 characters whether unicode or non-unicode typed.

SSIS 2012 loop once per row in a record

Hi All,
     I am new to 2012 and i am not finding much help on the internet. I have a control table that I need to use as a driver to loop through all my data/updates. Using 2008r2 i would have used set up a result set holding
the all the values i needed then loop using this resultset.
     With 2012 i find T-SQL task but it doesn't work the same way. Can anybody send me a link or show me an example of ssis 2012 creating a result set using a select from a control table, then using this result set in a loop
container?
Thank you so much in advance.

Reg: CDC in SSIS 2012

Hi Team,
I was working in SQL Server 2005,2008R2 but I'm new to SQL Server 2012. CDC related tasks can be done now in SSIS 2012. I'm going thru the below link for CDC
http://www.mattmasson.com/2011/12/cdc-in-ssis-for-sql-server-2012-2/
I need to understand below parts:
1) It is mentioned that cdc related system tables will be created for a table. Will these tables be created for every table?
2) By using this, we can replace Table Difference (3rd party task). Am i right?
Rgds,
Shree

Hi Shree,
Question 1: Taking Matt’s demo in his blog as example, only the cdc.dbo_DimCustomer_CDC_CT table out of the seven system tables is created for the DimCustomer_CDC table on which we enable CDC. The other six system tables are created when we enable CDC for
the TestDB and serves all the CDC enabled tables in the database.
Question 2: Not clear about the third party Table Difference component you mentioned, maybe the
Cozyroc Table Difference component? If you are using the Table Difference component to implement incremental load against a single source table, you should be able to replace it with CDC related tasks.
However, you are comparing two different tables, the CDC related task is not suitable.

Byte input to Webservice Task in SSIS 2012

Hi,
I have just created a new project in SSIS 2012 and I am using a webservice task in a package.
I imported the WSDL file and I have several inputs to set to use it properly.
I put variables on the 4 first inputs that are strings with success but I have a problem with the last one.
The last one is called xmlData and is in "byte" type and I can not set it correctly.
In the XSD file I have this definition: <xsd:element
minOccurs="0" name="xmlData" nillable="true" type="xsd:base64Binary"
/>
It is supposed to contain a XML file that I have to encode in base64 and then fill the xmlData with the binary value.
To encode my XML file to base64 I use a C# task but I do not know how to declare the value and how to set it.
I do it this way:
FileStream myStream = new FileStream(@"H:\myXML.XML", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(myStream);
byte[] fichierXML = new byte[reader.BaseStream.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < reader.BaseStream.Length; i++)
fichierXML[i] = reader.ReadByte();
reader.Close();
myStream.Close();
string xmlAsString = EncodeBytesAsBase64(fichierXML);
MessageBox.Show(xmlAsString);
// Conversion de la String en byte[]
byte[] xmlData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xmlAsString);
Dts.Variables["User::monXmlData"].Value = xmlData;
My variable User::monXmlData is an Object and there is no problem in execution.
The C# script runs well and the webservice task too but I always get an error response for the webservice saying that my xmlData field is not correct.
I think that my base64 encoding is correct because when I copy the result in my messagebox and paste in base64 decode on a free web decoder I get my original XML text.
Is there someone who can help me please?

Thanks to all that took some time to read me.
I have finally found the solution.
The Base64 encoding is not necessary. It is automatically done by the webservice when the request is sent.
The important thing to remember is that when you have to send a "byte[]" variable, you have to use a "Object" variable as an imput for the webservice.

XML Task in SSIS 2012

Hi All,
I need help on one requirement in SSIS 2012, Please let me know for any suggestions or solution.
I have two XML files having different structure, I have to manipulate data by applying XSLT and creating single output xml. (Which needs to pass these 2 Xml files and 1 xslt to SSIS task)
In SSIS we have in-built XMLTask which will take XSLT operation of 1 xml and 1 xslt to deliver new output xml, Is there any way to pass 2 xml files and 1 xslt to get new output xml?
Thanks for any help

Hi visakh,
i have tried as you said.but still i am not able to load multiple Xml files.
I'm having a problem using the Foreach Loop container that contains an XML Task followed by a data flow task. When I run my package in the debugger,
the XML Task fails with the following errors: [XML Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.". [XML Task] Error: Property "New Source" has no source Xml Text; Xml Text is either
invalid, null or empty string.
The Foreach Loop container is a file enumerator. The XML Task validates XML files using an XSD file. The XML Task SourceType is a XSLTand the Source has the variable set by the Foreach Loop (index 0). I have an XML file which I know is valid. For some reason,
the XML Task Source is not referencing the variable, set by the Foreach loop.
If I use a file connection to the existing XML file, instead of using the variable, the XML Task validates the file successfully. I believe there might be a bug in the XML Task when a variable is specified. If I disable the task and let my data flow task run,
it has no problem importing each XML file, in the directory, using an XML Source that uses the Foreach loop variable for the Source. My data flow completes correctly.
Thanks
