Web service task: Error when returning an empty array

Hi,
I've encountered an annoying error when using a Web Service Task from an SSIS package in SQL Server Data Tools.
[Web Service Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: Could not execute the Web method. The error is: Index was outside the bounds of the array..
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebMethodInvokerProxy.InvokeMethod(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTaskUtil.Invoke(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection, VariableDispenser taskVariableDispenser)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTask.executeThread()".
It seems that the Web Service Task generates this error when returning an empty response from the WSDL. I've seen several topics about this here on MSDN but they are all from 2008-2009 and seem to suggest that
this is a bug. The workaround suggested is using a script task but I would really love to avoid that since my programming skills are lacking.
I'm using Visual studio 2010 with SP1.

Hello,
From my own experience: in all the cases where I had to use SSIS 2008 to retrieve data or send data to Webservices, I had to revert to using Script Tasks or Script components. Whenever I tried with a Web service task, because the job looked simple, I had
to abandon it in favour of Scripts. Keep in mind that I try to make use of the SSIS components as often as possible, before reverting to Scripting. But handling web services is the one exception, where I always use scripts. In SSIS 2012 I did not find
any significant improvement of the Web service task and hence no compelling reason to use it.

SSIS Web Service Task Error with WCF Service

I have read all the other posts on this site and have not been able to resolve my issue.
For testing purposes i created a very simple WCF service that takes no arguments and returns true. That is all it does.
When i create a winform client and instantiate the service i can run my service method and get true back so i know the service works.
I then create a test SSIS package with 1 task, a web service task.
I set the web service tasks properties as follows:
http connection: http://localhost/WCF_SSIS_Prototype/Service1.svc
wsdl file: C:\...\SSIS_WCF_Prototype\Service1.wsdl (I know this is not a valid path, i changed it for posting to forum)
Service: Service1
Method: GetData
Variable: User::BResult
When i run the package i get the following error:
[Web Service Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: Could not execute the Web method. The error is: Method 'ProxyNamespace.Service1.GetData' not found..    at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebMethodInvokerProxy.InvokeMethod(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection)    at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTaskUtil.Invoke(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection)    at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTask.executeThread()".
I'm not sure why it is saying "Method 'ProxyNamespace.Service1.GetData' not found. It the web service task trying to create a proxy class and naming the proxy class namespace ProxyNamespace?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
How do you get around the same issue if your string type is based on a client token ? I downloaded the .wsdl file, was able to see the service name, method and when selecting a method type, I am required to provide a client token which was given
to me. (Name column = clienttoken, Type = string, Value = 2227656 - ec8922 (client token numbers goes there)? I am new to use ssis and need your help please

Could not load file or assembly 'iiglotg3.dll' or one of its dependencies.
Access is denied..
Looks like a permission issue or maybe the assembly don't exists on the server where the package is running; you should check that first.

Please see if you are not overlooking something very obvious:

Web Services deployment error "Server returned nothing (no headers, no data)" and more

I'm developing a large-scale VI with an associated web service VI in 2010 SP1. The "auxiliary VI" is responsible for data capture and analysis as well as communications and data storage. It is fairly large and communicates with the web method VI via network-shared variables [and I'm using the DSC module to allow event handling on the shared variables].
I can build and deploy the web method VI just fine and it runs great. However, I need to communicate between the auxiliary and web method VI's, and it looks like I can't do that without including the auxiliary vi in the RESTful web service build [by the way, is there any way to do this with web service builds?]. When I added the auxiliary vi to the build, it built fine, but then during the deployment I got:
"Server returned nothing (no headers, no data)"
The next time I tried to deploy, I got a spurious NI Auth dialog per this KnowledgeBase article. Following the instructions for case 1 ["Application Web Server failure since last start"], I ran Services.msc and found that NI Application Web Service was indeed not running. I tried to restart the service but got this error:
"The NI Application Web Server service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service."
The KnowledgeBase article suggests restarting at this point and I did, but I still see the same behavior. So I really have a few questions:
1. Is there any way to deploy a network-shared variable library across a deployed web service and local VI?
2. What causes "Server returned nothing (no headers, no data)" upon deployment? A google search returned very little.
3. What does this mean: "The NI Application Web Server service on Local Computer
started and then stopped..." and what do I need to do to get my Application Web Server back up?
[to heap on the pile... I tried to re-enable the Application Web Server from localhost:3580 and got an error. Then localhost:3580 went off-line also.]
thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Update.
I noticed that the Application Web Server was trying to deploy the broken web service and was choking on it. There seemed to be no way to erase the .lvws originally created by the build. I could delete the deployment folder at $(WebServicesRoot)\UserServices\deployed\<Service Name>-<Globally Unique Identifier (GUID)> but it was recreated from the .lvws every time I attempted to restart the service.
So I called NI and they pointed me to this directory [in XP]:
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\My Documents\LabVIEW Data\WebServices\Standalone
The .lvws was in this folder. I deleted it and now I can run the ApplicationWebService. Apparently this undocumented hidden file is a "not-quite-bug" that is recognized as needing a fix in upcoming releases.

WEB Service task excuting error "method not found"

Hii All,
I am the beginner of ssis, and on executing the package I am getting error :
[Web Service Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: Could not execute the Web method. The error is: Method 'ProxyNamespace.BizTalkServiceInstance.Submit'
not found..

   at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTask.executeThread()".
Please help me out..

Hi Mangla,
Based on my research, the issue always caused by the data type of input variable mismatch for the Web Service. For example, the input type for web service is String. The variable was of type Object but in fact it was a Decimal stored in it. Obviously SSIS
Web Service Task will not implicitly do a .toString() call on the input variable. So the issue occurs.
To fix this issue, please change the type of the variable. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/1073ad37-ed05-4ab4-85e3-689e1cd17a68/ssis-web-service-task-error-with-wcf-service
Besides, SSIS cannot invoke services with spaces in the names. And we should configure the HTTP connection manager the following ways:
Use credentials.
Use a client certificate.
Provide a time-out for connecting to the server and a chunk size for writing data.
Use a proxy server.
Reference:
HTTP Connection Manager

Web Service Task in SSIS 2012

Hello,
I have a web service task that worked fine prior to upgrading from SQL Server 2005, but in 2012 fails with an error saying the "wsdl file is invalid". I am using the same wsdl file as I was using in 2005. Connectivity tests for the
web service connection manager in 2012 worked fine. Any ideas on why I would be getting a failed wsdl file when it worked ok on the 2005 platform? Below is the specific error:
[Web Service Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: Could not read the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file. The input WSDL file is not valid.
The following error occurred while reading the file. There is an error in XML document (3, 2)..
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTaskUtil..ctor(Object connection, String downloadedWSDL)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTask.executeThread()".
Thanks for any help or suggestions,
Pat

Need to open the package for editing and resave, perhaps there were changes in how the Web Services task is persisted to package file. (a more typical upgrade path is SSIS 2005 to SSIS 2008, then 2012)

Rerun Web Service Task whenever it fails

Hi All,
In one of my package i m using web service task and it is failing everytime. Below is the error:
An error occurred with the following error message: "Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebserviceTaskException: The Web Service threw an error during method execution. The error is: The operation has timed out.
   at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebMethodInvokerProxy.InvokeMethod(DTSWebMethodInfo methodInfo, String serviceName, Object connection)

   at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.WebServiceTask.WebServiceTask.executeThread()".
I referred the below blog and tried to implement it in my project.
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.com/2014/06/retry-task-on-failure.html
In For Loop Container, when i am using the below expression , the container is running but web service task is not running.
EvalExpression - @RetryCounter<=@RetryMax && @QuitForLoop==false
but when i change the expression to
@RetryCounter<5, the web service task is also running.
where i am going wrong. are we not supposed to use expression like @RetryCounter<=@RetryMax && @QuitForLoop==false in For Loop Container.

Read the comments below, you need to reset the QuitForLoop, perhaps this is the issue.
I would approach the issue with Checkpoints, and restart on failure as in
https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/sql-tools/implementing-checkpoints-in-an-ssis-package/ or

Web Service deploy error

Hello everyone!
I've created a Web Service from a VI. This VI has two inputs values: a String and and Int8 and one single output: an array of DBL values (array of 1x3). Both inputs and outputs are well connected through the Connector Pane.
So, in the Project>> Build Spedifications I've created WS, builded with the Advanced>> Use LabVIEW 8.x file layout option checked, in the WebService(RESTful) settings dialog. The problem appear when I try to deploy this WS. The next error is shown:
Error LabVIEW: (Hex 0xFFFEF84D) LabVIEW Web Services: An error occurred when extracting the deployed Web service. Rebuild the Web service by selecting the "Use LabVIEW 8.x file layout" option in the Advanced tab of the web Service properties dialog.
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is exactly what I've done! I build my web services with this option checked. I don't know the reason why the error still persist.
I attach a zip file containing the Web Services VI and other VI needed. If you coult try to build the WS and deploy it...

Can you provide more information? Are you using BasicHttpBinding with transport security? If you access the service from a console client instead of SQL Server Web Service Task, does it work?
