Cannot Show The Editor For This Task. Specified Cast Is Not Valid
Jul 26, 2006
This error is pretty persistent. I re-installed VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 but did not help. Every time I try to open a Script Task editor it gives me the same error regardless of the project or package. DO I NEED TO REBUILD MY SYSTEM ?

I am trying to prove I can use SSIS to connect to a web service. The WS I am trying to connect to was developed by a vendor and covered by a NDA, but I was able to reproduce the issue with a public WS.
Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:
In the Web Services Connection Manager, I entered http://office.microsoft.com/Research/Providers/MoneyCentral.asmx?wsdl in the URL window. I am able to successfully "test" the connection I pasted the above link into IE and saved the resulting XML as a .wsdl file on my local machine. In the Web Services Task Editor, General Tab, I specify the path to the .wsdl file and click on "Download WSDL" button. No Issues When I click on "Input" and select "MoneyCentralRemote" from the drop-down for Service, I receive an error message saying "This version of the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is not supported"
So the questions are:
Did I perform the above steps correctly? What WSDL versions are supported in SSIS? How can I tell what WSDL version was used to create the .wsdl I am trying to access? If the WSDL is an unsupported version, is there a work-around to fix the issue?
im doing a sum on a table and it either returns a number in decimal format or 'null' . The problem is when it returns null i want it to just make the text say '0.00'. So i did a test on the object that if it returns NULL just print '0.00' but if it is not null it tells me that there is a number there and i want to store that as a decimal and print it out. But i get an error for a type cast when im not it should not even be going to that part of the code. In the code below the first executescaler will return null so it should just go straight to the else. But it gives me the type cast error in the if that shouldnt be seen. The error and code are below. //Borrower NSF FEES cmd.CommandText = "select sum(itemamount) from postmtdtls where loanid='" + LoanID + "' and Transactioncode = '310'"; object temp = cmd.ExecuteScalar(); if (temp != null) { decimal B_NSFFees = ((decimal)cmd.ExecuteScalar()); borrowerPayoff_NSFFees.Text = String.Format("{0:#,#.##}", B_NSFFees).ToString(); //Borrower NSF FEES } else { borrowerPayoff_NSFFees.Text = "0.00"; //borrowerPayoff_NSFFees.Text = "0.00"; } Server Error in '/WebSite5' Application.

Can't seem to find why I'm getting this error: Specified cast is not valid. Ok, using a stored procedure for SQL Server 2000 and here is the main part of it: SELECT id, rank, firstName, lastName, service, status, createdTime FROM accessRequest WHERE lastName LIKE @tLastName AND firstName LIKE @tFirstName And the C# code behind from the class file: SqlDataReader spResults; conn.Open(); spResults = command.ExecuteReader(); while( spResults.Read() ) { AccessRequestSearch request = new AccessRequestSearch( (int)spResults.GetInt32( 0 ), spResults.GetString( 2 ), spResults.GetString( 3 ), spResults.GetString( 1 ), spResults.GetString( 4 ), spResults.GetString( 5 ), Convert.ToDateTime(spResults.GetString( 6 ))); searchResults.Add( request ); // Add to Array List } spResults.Close(); The part in red is where I think it's happening because that is what I just added to the request. createdTime in the table is set as DateTime. Can anyone see what I am missing here? More info is available if needed. Thanks, Zath
I get the above error everytime I try to export to Excel; exporting to PDF works fine.
The only way I can get rid of the error is by deleting all the data from within the report (not ideal!). Anyone got any ideas on what could be causing this?
I have a backup of DB with version Microsoft sql 2012 and i need restore this data base on instance Microsoft sql 2008 R2 when i try restore database on SQL server 2008 R2 i have the error:
I have been experiencing "Specified cast is not valid" error while restoring backup of DB. Version of SQL server management tool from which I am taking the backup is "Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP1) - 10.50.2500.0 (Intel X86) Jun 17 2011 00:57:23 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Express Edition with Advanced Services on Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (WOW64) (Hypervisor) ". And restoring to the same version tool.
I have tried all the workarounds like TSQL, Upgrade the version of restoring DB to higher version, MDF and LDF files generation. But they are not working.

Hi, I've developed a couple of components now and I know I've seen this problem before but I can't remember how to solve it. My component is built, it has it's own (blank at the moment) UI and it seems to work fine except that there is no right click option to look at the advanced editor. The code is almost identical to another component I wrote that works just fine. Any ideas anyone? Thanks Charlie.
select @Agg1= Cast(cast(cast(cast(Max(TotMatch) as decimal) / cast((Max(TotNoMatch) + Max(TotMatch)) as decimal)* 100 as int) - 100 as int) as varchar) + '%' FROM #Rpt;
if i try this it is giving me answer in -2% how i can remove the - sign
also if I try the same statement in different way. well I am going to post in other post.
Hello, I am using an SQLDataReader called DrCoInfo to check if any matching records exist in a table.
My code is as such:
Line 119:DrCoInfo = comm1.ExecuteReader() Line 120:While DrCoInfo.Read() Line 121: If DrCoInfo("DateOfMan") <> "" Then Line 122: BValid = True Line 123: End If
However, it fails to work with the message :System.InvalidCastException: Cast from string "" to type 'Date' is not valid.
I have problem here with sql task editor. i have a stored proceedure with 1 input value and 1 output value which needs to be updated in a variable.
stored proc - exec GetRDate ? , ? output
input value is set in a varaible.
I tried giving 1 input and 1 output in the parameter box and result set as fullresultset 1 value for variable -
" failed with the following error: "No disconnected record set is available for the specified SQL statement.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Task failed: Get Retention Date
what should i give in the parameter and result set
This code works in the SQL task in dts packages but not in SQL task in SSIS. It would run the file but the problem is that when there is an error it doesn't raise the error in SQL task in SSIS. Anyone can provide me with a solution would be appreciated.
USE MASTER DECLARE @result int
EXEC @result = xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /f "D:File2.dtsx"' If (@result <> 0 ) BEGIN
Since applying July 2007 Microsoft patches it was noted that we were not able to open the editor for the Script Task component in an SSIS package. We received an error dialog with text similar to 'Engine failed with unknown error. (Microsoft.VisualBasic.Vsa.Dt).' All other solutions provided in the forum did not resolve our issue. It was noted somewhere else that the OLE32.dll seemed to have been affected. We reregistered this file using the command 'regsvr32.exe ole32.dll' and suddenly we were able to get into the editor. I don't know why this fixed the issue, but it did for us in our environment. Good luck!
I am using SSIS 2008 tool for developing ETL package. I get below error whenever I click on script task editor.Cannot show Visual Studio 2008 Tools for Applications editor. (Microsoft Visual Studio).
I'm trying to execute a simple VBS file from the Executable command line in the Execute Process Task Editor.
My line is this : cscript.exe "c:convertcsvssisXlsToCsv.vbs"
SSIS keeps saying there are illegal characters here. I've Googled and looked about 20 articles and I can't resolve it.
I have a ForEach that loops through Excel files and changes them to CSV files using code i found. This script takes an original Excel file and transfers it to a new CSV file in a new directory.
So in DOS at the CMD line I would type : XlsTocsv.vbs originalfile.xls newfile.csv
I have the original file and new file in the Arguments line so I'm assuming that after the script executes it will look at the filepaths in the loop and loop through them so I want it do to this when it runs:
XlsTocsv.vbs [User::@ExcelFile] [User::@CSVFile]
I just can't get it to execute and I keep getting illegal characters.
I have VS 2013 installed in my machine with SQL server 2012 ,I have installed Microsoft data tools for VS 2013,In the integration service project i used script component when i try to pen the script task its not opening VSTA projects ,its simple ideally without any action.I am facing this issue for past 2 months i tried fixing this problem but no use.
The script task editor has "Access VSTA to write script using VS 2012".So i installed VSTA tools for 2012 and 2013 but no issue.
But the script component works for VS 2010.I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio tools for VS 2012,VS2012 AND VS 2013.
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.
Does anyone know how to do this using variables? Everytime I try it, I get the
Error: Failed to lock variable for read access with error 0xc00100001.
I also tried it writing a script and still the same error. If I hard code the values into the variables it works fine but I will be running this everday so that it will pull in the current date along with the filename. So the value of the variables will change everyday. Here is my expression:
In the table view in the Task Pad view, it lists the number of rows and size of each table, which is great, however it only lists the first 25 tables or so and there is no scroll function.
1. Does anyone know how I can see this info in Task Pad for all tables, without having to use the search function and look up 200+ tables one-by-one?
2. Does anyone know of another utility or statement to run against the DB which will return this info all at once for all the tables?
Could someone please instruct me on how to use the File System Task Editor to rename a file? I place control on control flow tab, change the operation to rename, from there I am not sure what to do.
Our backups by default go to a network location, but I'd like to modify our maintenance plans to backup to an alternative location if the primary location isn't available. I've setup two Backup Database Tasks where the second one runs only if the first one Fails, and if the second one runs (on first one's failure) it then sends a notification to me so I know this occurred.
The Plan is running as expected, when I simulate a bad path in the first Backup Task the second one runs and the notification is sent, but the Job shows failure. I'd like to show the job as Successful when this occurs since I'm handling the issue and notification within the Plan, but I'm unable to find out how. I've set FailParentOnFailure to False on the Plan and I've changed the MaximumErrorCount to 2 with the assumption that this would work, but neither didn't.
Also I'm running into this in both SQL 2008 and SQL 2012.
I've SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition and Windows Server 2003 ENT SP2. in the task manager i see that the server use 5GB out of 6GB,but when i arrange the process to see whom takes all the memory i see that the sqlservr.exe takes 150MB(he is the biggest). when i open Perfmon and look on the sqlservr.exe memory use, i see that he takes the 4.5G. i've a problem that the server use alot of cpu time to run users queries,i see that pages/sec counter is very big average between 600-800.
is there any problem with my memory? why the memory reading from the task manager is wrong? if my pages/sec counter is so big do i have a memory leaks + pressure?
I'm just learning SSIS and I've hit my first bump. I am doing a bulk import from a tab delimited text file to an empty sql table that has a Idendity column defined. How do I tell the bulk insert task to skip that column when inserting from the text file. If I remove the identity column it imports the data fine, but I want to create the indentity column in the table too.
1. I downloaded ChartFXRSTrial and created one chart, and able to deploy it in ReportServer, but the problem is the reports are not showing there, i checked the configuration of .dll files in the help provided by chartFX, but couldn't get anything, so could help me on this.
2. How to give Tooltip for the X- axis or Y- axis values in the ReportServer , i tried using chartproperties of .rdl file, but didnt understand it. can help me on this, and one more i tried with Dundas too, If im giving tooltip as #valy then, it is showing samething in reportserver instead the values of 'Y-axis'.
OK. I give up and need help. Hopefully it's something minor ...
I have a dataflow which returns email addresses to a recordset.
I pass this recordset into a ForEachLoop configuring the enumerator as (Foreach ADO Enumerator). I also map the email address as a variable with index 0.
I then have a Execute SQL task which receives this email address as a varchar variable (parameter 0) which I then use in my SQL command to limit the rows returned. I have commented out the where clause and returned all rows regardless of email address to try to troubleshoot this problem. In either event, I then use a resultset to store the query result of type object and result name 0.
I then pass this resultset into a script variable to start parsing the sql rows returned as type object. ( I assume this is the correct way to do this from other prior posts ...).
The script appears to throw an exception at the following line. I assume it's because I'm either not passing in the values properly or the query doesn't return anything. However, I am certain the query works as it executes just fine at the command prompt.
My intent is to email the query results to each email address with the following type of data by passing the parsed data from the script to a send mail task. Email works fine and sends out messages but the content is empty. I pass the parsed data as string values to the messagesource and define the messagesourcetype as a variable in the mail task.

Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?
