Editing Script Component in VS2013 launches VS2012?

New SSIS developer here.
Using VS Premium 2013 RTM (12.0.21005.1 REL) with SSDT 12.0.30919.1 and SQL Server Integration Services.
I have a Business Intelligence -> Integration Services project (an SSIS project), and when I create a Script Component in a Data Flow Task and click "Edit Script...", it launches Visual Studio 2012.
The ScriptLanguage property for the Script Component is set to "Microsoft Visual C# 2012". I don't see an option for "Microsoft Visual C# 2013" (if such a thing exists?).
Questions:
1. How can I set VS2013 to call VS2013 (and NOT VS2012) for editing the C# in my Script Component? I can create/edit/build a straight C# project just fine in VS2013, so how to do I get VS2013 to edit C# in the Script Component instead of launching VS2012?
2. What is the relationship between the version of Visual Studio ("Visual Studio 2013") and the version of the languages available/defaulted in the ScriptLanguage setting ("Microsoft Visual C#/Visual Basic 2012")?
Thank you very much for your help.

Answer:
You cannot as the Script Task is done via VSTA which is VS 2012 Shell. And there is not such need;

  • How can i edit script component in another machine?

    Hello everyone,
    i am using sqlserver data tools to build a package..
    i have alot of script components...the problem is i wrote this package in machine A ... when i take the whole solution in machine B 
    i can not edit or see the script components projects files etc...
    am i missing an atribute at package solution/project file?
    because in ssis 2008 r2 version i can edit all of components (script componet,oledb source component...etc.)
    ...but  in 2012 version of ssis i can not edit script component project..
    thanks a lot..

    I guess you need to upgrade the package/solution 1st to the SSIS 2012 format.
    You need to go to Start-Microsoft SQL Server 2012->Integration Services and choose
    Project Conversion Wizard .
    Once the project (not just a package) is converted to SSIS 2012 open it in SSDT, access your Script Component and then choose
    Design Script button

  • Upgraded to VS 2013 - cannot edit script in SSIS script component

    I'm running SQL Server 2014 and just recently upgraded to Visual Studio 2013 from 2012. I was attempting to develop an SSIS solution today - the first time since the upgrade - and was blocked because I wasn't able to edit the script for a script component
    in an SSIS package.
    I can add the object to a data flow but clicking on the "Edit Script..." button yields no response whatsoever. No error, no scripting environment. 
    I'm running VS2013 Ultimate with SSDT 2013, and SS 2014 Enterprise. 
    My hunch is that there are components missing somewhere but I don't know enough about this platform to piece together how things are related. I have nearly every option installed for VS2013 except for Windows Phone and app store development.
    I didn't have an issue previously and I'm unsure how to debug this - especially since I'm not a real SDE. 
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi Torben E,
    Maybe that you were unaware that you post this issue in Visual Studio Setup and Installation forum. This forum is to discuss and ask questions about the install and setup of Visual Studio. Obviously, this case is out of the scope of this forum.
    I'm unsure which forum is better for this case. Is Visual Studio General forum? Or SQL Server Integration Services forum? But I'd like to find a suitable forum along with you.
    >>I was attempting to develop an SSIS solution today - the first time since the upgrade - and was blocked because I wasn't able to edit the script for a script component in an SSIS package.  
    I see that you upgrade to Visual Studio 2013 from 2012. And you didn't have an issue previously. Do you mean that you can create SSIS project and edit the script for a script component before you upgrade VS?
    >>ERROR: Cannot resolve reference coloader80.dll,processorArchitecture="X86",type="win32",version="1.0.0.0".
    From the error message, it seems that the IDE can't find the coloader80.dll. Can you find this dll in your PC? Does it exist in the path ""C:\Program
    Files (x86)\Microsoft
    Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\"?
    If you can find it, please try to register the oleaut32.dll as the thread below mentioned to see if this method can solve this issue.

    This error is caused by the registration for oleaut32.dll was corrupted, there maybe other dll that also named oleaut32.dll, so visual studio could not
    find the right oleaut32.dll.
    So please download the OleAutClean.msi in this link and run it, to clean all the registration of oleaut32.dll.
    http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/9/3/a93f06e7-5828-460c-a78b-ab89c77b6957/OleAutClean.msi
    Then register the oleaut32.dll again.
    1.     
    Right click the Commandline to run the commandline as administrator.
    2.     
    In the commandline, run the following command if you are using Win7 or vista.
    regsvr32 "%CommonProgramFiles%\microsoft shared\VS7DEBUG\coloader80.dll" . Then you will see a dialog that shows the registration
    successes.

  • Major Bug in SSIS 2012 Script Component - Potentially

    I think there is a major issue with the Script Component in SSIS when running SSDT on Windows 8.1. I have a Script Component that functions as a data source. The script compiles successfully. However, when returning back to the Data Flow Task, I still get the
    following error which I'd get when an error exists in the Script.
    Validation error. Data Flow Task Script Component [2]: The binary code for the script is not found. Please open the script in the designer by clicking Edit Script button and make sure it builds successfully.
    The script compiles successfully so this is frustrating. This is incorrect and I believe it's an issue with SSDT/SSIS when run on Windows 8.1. I've applied SQL Server 2012 SP1 with CU7 and the error still exists. Can someone else confirm this as
    a bug? 
    <a href="http://martinsbiblog.spaces.live.com" target="_blank">http://martinmason.wordpress.com</a>

    I'm simply doing the following: 
    Add a Data Flow Task.
    Add a Script Component. Configure as a Source.
    Double click on the Script Component.
    Click on the Edit Script button.
    Compile the script. Compiles successfully.
    Close the VSTAProject editor.
    Close the Script Component properties page.
    When returning to the Data Flow, the "Binary code for the script is not found" error is return
    Running as an Administrator did not solve the problem. Again, this is only an issue with SSIS on Windows 8.1 so if you're not running on Windows 8.1, do not bother replying. I've applied SP1 and CU7 and the problem was not resolved.
    Really regretting upgrading to Windows 8.1.

  • Bash script "open terminal and launch command

    I need a script to do this:
    launch a terminal, from this change working directory and then launch a command; the terminal have to remain opened after the command execution.
    Something like:
    $terminal cd $dir && $command
    If I open a terminal and I do:
    cd $dir && $command
    it works
    If I do a .sh script with this:
    xterm -hold -e cd $dir && $command
    or
    terminal -H -x cd $dir && $command
    when I launch it (the script) it doesn't work.

    xterm -hold -e "cd ~/test/ && ls"

    I don't know what $command do you mean, but this will list th ~/test directory.
    It works also for me.
    With urxvt and xfce4-terminal don't work.
    But xterm is too minimalist, is there an advanced terminal based on it?
    And I don't unerstand why it doesn't work for xfce4-terminal but for it does for xterm...
    man xfce4-terminal:
    -H, --hold
    Causes the terminal to be kept around after the child command has terminated
    -e, --command=command
    Execute command inside the terminal
    man xterm:
    -hold
    Turn on the hold resource, i.e., xterm will not immediately destroy its window when the shell command completes. It will wait until you use the window manager to destroy/kill the window, or if you use the menu entries that send a signal, e.g., HUP or KILL.
    -e program [ arguments ... ]
    This option specifies the program (and its command line arguments) to be run in the xterm window. It also sets the window title and icon name to be the basename of the program being executed if neither -T nor -n are given on the command line. This must be the last option on the command line.
    What the ...?
    Is only my opinion that there aren't differences between:
    terminal -H -e "cd $dir && $command"
    and
    xterm -hold -e "cd $dir && $command"

  • Scheduling SSIS with Web Reference in Script Component fails.

    I'm using SSIS on an SQL Server 2014 to create invoices in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015.
    To create the invoices in NAV I use their Web services via a Script Component.
    The reference is added using "Add Service Reference" - Advanced - "Add Web Reference" all according to the Dynamics NAV documentation. Found here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd355316(v=nav.80).aspx
    FYI: You cannot add it as a "Service reference" but have to use the older "Web Reference"
    The package will run without any problem in Visual Studio but as soon as I Deploy the Package and try to schedule it the package fails on the Script Component with the error:
    "The binary code for the script not found. Please open the script in the designer by clicking Edit Script button and make sure it builds successfully."
    I've tried to run the package in both using the 32bit and 64bit runtime. I have also tried to copy the content of the reference.cs from the reference and added it to a new class according to the steps below. But I still get the same error.
    1. Open Script component 'Select all files' icon in the solution explore
    2. Drill down to webreference, and locate reference.cs file3. Copy the content of this file to a new class file.4.
    Delete the webreference5 .Recompile your code, save and exit6. Open the project to verify that the reference is saved.
    Environment information:
    Windows Server 2012 R2 64 bit (x64) 
    SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition  (12.0.2000.8)
    /Fredrik

    The code builds successfully in VSTA.
    When I now try to deploy it to my "Integration Services Catalog" on my dev machine the package will execute without problem. When I deploy it to the production server I get the error. When scheduling on the production server I've created Credentials
    and a Proxy with my own user (same as on my dev machine).
    The production server has access to the web service that I'm trying to call (they are on the same domain network).
    I have managed to get rid of the error in one package using the technique below. But to me this just seemst to be a strange workaround.
    1. Open Script component 'Select all files' icon in the solution explore
    2. Drill down to webreference, and locate reference.cs file3. Copy the content of this file to a new class file.4.
    Delete the webreference5 .Recompile your code, save and exit6. Open the project to verify that the reference is saved.

  • SSUS 2012 Script Component (VB) Build But Still Has Compile Error

    The title says it all really.
    The Script Component builds without error but when I close the editor (and when I execute the package), I get a message saying that there is a compile error. There is of course a big red "X on the script component. No errors are indicated in the edit
    window or when building the script. Can anyone help? this is really holding me up.
    The script has been copied from a working SSIS 2008 package. It uses the report execution web method. I have successfully changed the web reference to ReportExcution2010, there doesn't seem to be a RepprtExcution2012.
    R Campbell

    It's probably best to close thread and that I start a new one. I think that I have gone off on a tangent here. Yes SSIS isn't doing much of a job in reporting errors but my main concern is the error itself.
    I am trying to port an SSIS Script Task from SQL 2008 to SQL 2012. Is uses the ReportExecution2005 web service to run SSRS reports. The really strange thing is that, even though the same web reference is used, different methods seem
    to be available in SQL 2008 and SQL 2012. This doesn't sound right to me, if you refer to the same Web Service you should see the same metros or am I wrong about that.
    For example in SQL 2008 there is ReportExecutionService
    object but on the SQL 2012 to service there only seems to be
    ReportExecutionServiceSOAPClient.

  • Need help solving script component failure (SSIS Visual Studio tools 2.0 using VB 2008)

    Hello,
    I am new to SSIS but believe I have fought my way through this one where I almost have it.
    I copied am existing successful package that uses a loop (and VB code) for ETL of a file. The difference is that I have a new Excel file with different content (I carefully modified the VB code to match the current file). When I run the package I am down
    to just a couple of errors now under the “progress  tab”. I am hoping you can point me in the correct direction to resolve this.
    First I get a Script Component Runtime Error as I run (debug) this package:
    at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ScriptComponent.get_ReadWriteVariables()
    at SC_712a9d2c4d4a4a48a2c07c5f14c80b1a.vbproj.Variables.get_sFacility()

    The ProcessInput method on component "Create ED1_2 Feeder File" (1760) failed with error code 0x80131600 while processing input "Input 0" (1762). The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is
    specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. 
    There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
    Any suggestions?  I know the code I copied from the source package works perfectly there, but my copy (and then modified) version of the VB code fails in my new package.
    THANKS!!!!!

    Thank You. While waiting for a response I decided that instead of copying the package and editing according to my new source file, that I should rebuild it from scratch
    manually instead (while using the original as a model). Well... it worked!
    (probably could have repaired the other too with your help and with additional effort, etc.). You were right to suspect the variables as I found properties didn't match there as far as scope. In fact that was the last thing I was working
    on when it finally worked.  So, as the late Gilda Radner used to say..."never mind". Thanks again.

  • C# SSIS Script component - Save List String to Object package-scope variable and read it in Script Task

    before posting this i was searching this on internet but was not able to find info regarding my specific case:
    i have a DataFlow Task with "Error output" pointing from FlatFile to
    Script Component that does below (variable "ErrorMessageList" is listed under ReadWriteVariables property):
    List<string> lsErrors = new List<string>();
    public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
    lsErrors.Add("test1");
    lsErrors.Add("test2");
        void PostExecute()
            base.PostExecute();
            Variables.ErrorMessageList = lsErrors;
    Then the DataFlow points to a ScriptComponent where this object variable is listed under ReadOnlyVariables property and does the below:
    public void Main()
    List<string> lsErrors = (List<string>)Dts.Variables["ErrorMessageList"].Value;
    and that is where i get exception-has-been-thrown-by-the-target-of-an-invocation
    What is wrong here?
    (i have mistakenly edited this first post before, so i tried to manually put it back to original version)

    i have missed the "override" keyword...
    public class ScriptMain : UserComponent
    public class UserComponent: ScriptComponent
    namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline
    public class ScriptComponent
    // i should have seen this before
    public virtual void PostExecute();
    i believe i must have deleted the PostExecute method definition right after the ScriptComponent generated the script for me... and then when i've realized that i can't change ReadWriteVariables as a part of:
    public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
    // --- can't change ReadWriteVariables here
    then i had to add the method back but forgot that the base method is virtual
    thanks for this hint, Russ!

  • [ER] Introduce af:script component

    Hi!
    Trinidad includes tr:script component. ADF RC is lacking one (and I don't like mixing tr: and af: as it produces strange issues). Lot of blog posts by Frank and others is still using plain-text snippets like
    <f:facet name="metaContainer">    
    <af:group>      
    <![CDATA[          
    <script>
    function clientMethodCall(event) {
                     </script>
    ]]>    
    </af:group>   
    </f:facet>I would like to suggest introducing advanced af:script component that allows:
    1.     declarative .js file inclusion (src="..." attribute) with relative and absolute path referencing (this is very important for cases when the script is used in templates, custom components and other reusable components where it is not predictable in which page/url the script rendering will occur in run-time)
    2.     declarative script text inclusion and script source code editing (with code coloring and auto-completion support for easy coding with particular support to ADF RC Client Script API)
    3.     script inclusion control logic like:
    a.     singularInclusion="true/false" attribute that ensures that script is included in run-time generated JSP only once per page (to prevent cases when I have same script included multiple times on page as it is appearing in several reusable components – custom components, jsffs in multiple regions etc.). This attrib should check if the script with same id (possibly uniquely identified by special scriptId or scripKey attribute) is already included in view/page and prevent multiple inclusions. In some cases the multiple inclusions are desired (like with in-line non-differed scripts).
    b.     rendered="true/false"
    c.     deffered="true/false"
    4.     support for script debugging
    Also, I would suggest that ADF RC both client-side and server-side api include enhanced support for registering/including client scripts (with above mentioned support for checking if script with particular scriptId is already registered/included, de-registering particular scriptId etc.).
    I remember that .Net have a much better support for client-script handling so I would encourage ADF devs to consider this.
    Kind regards,
    PaKo

    Hello Pavle,
    It's true that some of those features are nice. You might want to look at the Scriplet API as it more or less does what you want. It's a quite complex and complicated API, but it support pretty much all the of the features you're asking for.
    Also, as a side note, I suggest that you take a look at JSF 2.0 early draft (http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/edr/jsr314/index.html), and more specifically at the resource section to see if it's better suited for your needs. Of course, you won't have those in JDeveloper 11g, but it'll be a head up for what's to come.
    Regards,
    ~ Simon

  • The binary code for the script is not found error for the Script component - SSIS 2012

    Hi,
    I'm implementing a SSIS 2012 pkg. For a data flow task, I'm using a Visual Basic 2010 script component with an Oracle input flow. For the script component I've an input column and I've created an output column. Inside the script code I've edited only inside
    Public Overrides Sub Input0_ProcessInputRow(ByVal Row As Input0Buffer).
    The written code is:
    If Year(Row.OFFDATAORI) < 1900 Then
    Row.OFFDATAORIconv = CDate(CStr("1900" + "-" + Right("00" + CStr(Month(Row.OFFDATAORI)), 2) + "-" + Right("00" + CStr(DatePart(DateInterval.Day, Row.OFFDATAORI)), 2))
    Else : Row.OFFDATAORIconv = Row.OFFDATAORI
    End If
    It is to note that OFFDATAORI isn't the name of the input column for the script component.
    When I close the script component I've an error about "The binary code for the script is not found".
    Any helps to me, please?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I've solved. There was a syntax error, a bit hidden.
    Bye

  • Error in SSIS Script Component

    Development environment : SQL Server Business Intelligence  Development Studio 2008
    I have developed SSIS package to insert/update records to production Database. In this case I'm using  a Script component to call a Stored Procedure to do the data access. I putted a User defined variable into
    ReadOnlyVariables container. When execute the package I got the following error.

    Appreciate if any assistance regarding this!
    Kind Regards, 

    What is your readonly variable meant to store: a value to be supplied as argument to the stored procedure?
    Either way, I agree with SSISJoost, try to use Execute Sql Task, I prefer to make as much as possible use of the SSIS components.
    Maybe the reason why you write a script is that you assume one cannot call an EXEC stored procedure immediately in a data source in a data flow component. But you can prepare the Exec statment in a string variable and then use that string variabl in
    a Oled db source with SQL command as variable.

    That being said, often SSIS jobs require a proxy to be runnable and this is how you make one up

  • Assigning value to a variable in Script Component.

    I'm pretty new to SSIS development and need to figure out a problem with assigning a value to a user defined variable. I created a pretty simple package. It reads a flat file, extracts date from a header record and subsequently uses derived column component
    to reformat data to the desired output format. One of the columns (FileRunDate,
    string, length 8) in the derived component is defined as a string and in the expression I'm assigning it to a variable I set earlier in the script component -
    @[User::vRunTimeDate]. When the process runs, the output file gets generated, however FileRunDate reflects
    originally set varible's value. It seems that the variable assignment in the script task does not work, even though in the debug mode, I do see how the value is being set. The variable has an attribute of ReadWrite. Is it due to the fact that the value is
    being set in the same workflow?
    Any feedback is greatly appriciated.

    Unfortunately I'm unable to add a screenshot of the process, for some reason I get an error message when I try to do that. In a nutshell the entire workflow consist of flat file source component, following by a script component (this is where I read and
    assign the variable) 
        public override void PostExecute()
            IDTSVariables100 vars;
            base.PostExecute();
            // Set run date
            if (strRunDate != null)
                VariableDispenser variableDispenser = (VariableDispenser)this.VariableDispenser;
                variableDispenser.LockForWrite("User::vRunTimeDate");
                variableDispenser.GetVariables(out vars);
                // Set the variable
                vars["User::vRunTimeDate"].Value = strRunDate;
                //Unlock the variable 
                vars.Unlock();
                //Variables.vRunTimeDate = strRunDate;
    then goes conditional split ( filtering out unwanted records), which is connected to a derived column component (this is where one of the columns get assigned a variable's value), one more script component (this where I identify
    specific data element and do a replace command) and finally flat file destination.
    BTW, the article in the provided URL clearly states that variable won't reflect assigned value till the entire workflow has finished. If that's the case, then I think I know my
    answer. Is there is such a thing as putting execution of different steps in a different step, so anything executed subsequently will see that value?

  • SSIS script component to use defined connection manager to load data from a Oracle

    In SSIS script compoment, I can connect to oracle with hard-coded connectionstring:
    OracleConnection conn;
    conn = new OracleConnection();
    conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=XE;User ID=hr;Password=******";
    however, when I defined an connection managers in the script compoment and call it as follows:
        IDTSConnectionManager100 connMgr;
        OracleConnection conn;
        public override void AcquireConnections(object Transaction)
            connMgr = this.Connections.MyADONETConnectionManager;
            conn = (OracleConnection)connMgr.AcquireConnection(null);
    I got error below:

    I did not find any example for Orale. A similar SQL server example is as linked below:

    can anybody shed some light? I appreciate it...
    thanks,

    You need to create a connectionmanager for Oracle connection and use it within the script task
