Answer 1

What are you trying to do? What sort of data source is  SHALL-PCAdventureWorksDw?
When you use EXEC() AT, I would execpt to see an SQL string to be passed to EXEC(), but you are passing an XML string????
If you explain why you think this would work in the first place, maybe we can help you.
