In SSIS online test, I got this question.
Breakpoints cannot be set to:
1. Task,
2. container,
3. package,
4. script task.
Help, please.
To score the point, select "4. Script Task" but as others have stated, that really is a poor question.
Before I begin my explanation, please note the difference between a "Script Task" and "Script Component." The Script Task is used on the Control Flow. The Script Component is used inside a Dataflow. The Script Component was not able to be debugged using breakpoints in SSIS 2008. This changed with SSIS 2012.
However, the question mentions Script Task. To my knowledge, Script Tasks have ALWAYS been able to hit breakpoints. We just need to take some steps to enable it.
Set the SSIS Project's "Run64BitRuntime" propery's value from its default True to False.
Edit your Script Task with "Edit Script" and save it again. This will help your script task code to be compiled as 32bit.
Once both your project and script task are compiled and executing in 32-bit mode, the breakpoints will be hit. See here for more information.

I have a package, inside which contains a script task, due to probably C# library issues in some of the servers, this task may success in some machines but fail in others (reporting Cannot load script for execution).
I want to force the task to be success by setting the ForceExecutionResult = Success option for this task. However when running, I found this doesn't work, the task still fails in the old-fashioned way.
I don't want to modify the MaxErrorCount for package because I want to reveal errors from other components, in the meanwhile, even this script task fails during validation, I want the package report success, is there any way to make the solution?
To let your package continue execution, you can set the DelayValidation property to True on the Script Task (so the package will begin executing), then on the Precedence Constraint that follows this Script Task, set it to continue on completion, instead of success.
Trying to add Newton.json & Restsharp in SSIS's Script task. But while adding I am getting a warning message also the script not working. An attached screenshot will add more points to this question.
These SSIS script projects are temporary, so anything you install via them (that is nested under them) disappears each time you exit the project. Any third party .dlls need to be in a shared area and registered via gacutil and then the reference put in the temporary project instead of installed in the temporary project.
This is not the same as debug mode. I want to display a warning if the developer is actually in BIDS and not display the warning if the package is being run from a scheduled job.
You could use a script task that opens a MsgBox. The MsgBox would only open when the task is running in BIDS, if I am not mistaken.
I'm afraid what you are trying to achieve is not possible. BIDS uses the same runtime as your SSIS agent.
You could, however, set an environment variable in your package and remove it during deployment. All of this is hacky and defeats the purpose though.
There really should be no custom logic when running a package locally versus being deployed (other than configurations that might affect the execution graph).
If you are trying to prevent user-error it would be best to educate your peers and/or restrict access.
I have found but not checked that there is a system variable "System::InteractiveMode" that may be used for this. Something to check.
According to Microsoft's documentation on System Variables the InteractiveMode variable should be able to fulfil your need to determine if the package is running from BIDS or from a SQL Job.
InteractiveMode (Boolean)
Indicates whether the package is run in
interactive mode. If a package is running in SSIS Designer, this
property is set to True. If a package is running using the DTExec
command prompt utility, the property is set to False.
I created a Script task at the beginning of my Flow (in the control flow tab) with a precedence constraint on the following task. I defined System::InteractiveMode in the ReadOnlyVariables field and used the code below to display the question and process the answer.
public void Main()
{
if ((bool)Dts.Variables["InteractiveMode"].Value)
{
DialogResult button = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to run the package?", "Validate", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo);
if (button == DialogResult.No)
{
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Failure;
return;
}
}
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}
It doesn't stop the execution like the stop button in BIDS but prevents the execution of the rest of the package. I tried to use the RunningPackage.Stop() method but in order to get the list of RunningPackages it requires to be running from SQL Server Integration Service.
I tested it from BIDS and from SQL Server integration service and it worked as expected.
I have an SSIS 2008 package.
I have 3 user variables in the package. One is for an the environment, one is for the path for an executable, and the other is part of a message for an email.
I have a Script Task that sets the variable for the path (strAppPath) based on the environment variable.
strAppPath is used in an expression for the Executable property of an Execute Process Task. The job fails stating that the executable path for the Execute Process Task is not set.
I'm assuming that it is checking this path before the Script Task sets the variable.
Is there a way to work around this?
Right click on your Execute Process Task and select Properties. In the properties window, you will have a DelayValidation option that is currently set to False Flip that to True.
What is happening is that when the package starts, it goes through a validation phase to ensure everything is kosher before it begins (no need to start processing if something is broken). In your case, that full validation is not desired as the Execute Process Task won't be valid until right before it's time to run. The validation will occur, just that it is delayed until it is time for the task to begin. Make sense?
I have a problem while executing a SSIS script component. To be honest I am learning SSIS and for the script component, I am going thru The Script Component as a Transformation Article. I have so far done whatever has been stated there . But while I am trying to execute the package, I am encountering the below error
TITLE: Package Validation Error

Package Validation Error

A bit of googling reveals the following Package Validation Error . So after going thru that , I understood what is the cause of the problem but how to rectify that , I don't know. Moreover, debugging is not possible.
Please help me.
EDIT
At last I found out that the Precompiled Option should be set to FALSE. Default is TRUE. It solved the problem.
Thanks
Sometime is enough to rebuild the task, just edit it and build in vsta.
You typically get this error when some portion of your script is no longer functioning correctly. This is often due to a dependency in the script that is no longer valid. Why can't you debug the package? If this is not your package then you're going to have to find the person who wrote it and have them fix the errors.
We recently ran into this issue and discovered is was because our code was too modern. The person who wrote the script used some newer code candy like:
somestring = $"{somevariable}-{Someothervariable}"
SomeFunctionWithOutParameter(out bool myResult)
It looked fine in the VS2017 editor on my colleague's machines but for some reason when I edited the script it was being pulled up in VS2015 (SSIS was being edited in VS2017) and the code was flagged.
After reverting the code to older style using String.Format() and pre-declaring the out variable the script was able to compile and run.
My guess is that whatever is compiling the script task code is not using the latest and greatest c# compiler.
