I have an SSIS package which has some Project.params set.
How do I pass values for those parameters to the SSIS package via C#?
I'm trying the following:
const string pkgLocation = @"export.dtsx";
var app = new Application();
var pkg = app.LoadPackage(pkgLocation, null);
var results = pkg.Execute();
This returns a failure, with Errors collection containing "The variable "$Project::connString" was not found in the Variables collection. The variable might not exist in the correct scope."
So I tried adding
var param = pkg.Parameters.Add("connString", TypeCode.String);
param.Value = "test";
var results = pkg.Execute();
But this throws a DtsGenericException.
I think I got it. The trick is to deserialize your ispac file (VS builds this but you can do it via msbuild) into a Project
object. The Project object allows us to set project level parameters (as well as access project level connection managers).
From there we will need to get a reference to the specific package we want but it will be a PackageItem
. PackageItems can't run but they do have a Package property we will use to instantiate the Package
class which does have an Execute
method
public static void final()
{
string isPacPath = @"C:\sandbox\so_31812951\so_31812951\bin\Development\so_31812951.ispac";
string packageName = "Package.dtsx";
Application app = new Application();
Package pkg = null;
// https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff930196(v=sql.110).aspx
Project proj = null;
PackageItem pi = null;
DTSExecResult results;
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Run an SSIS package that has a Project parameter
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
proj = Project.OpenProject(isPacPath);
// Yes, I can see the packages in there
foreach (var item in proj.PackageItems)
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Project {0} contains package {1}", proj.Name, item.StreamName));
}
//Also able to see the project level parameters
foreach (Parameter item in proj.Parameters)
{
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Project {0} contains parameter {1} type of {2} current value {3}", proj.Name, item.Name, item.DataType, item.Value));
}
// assign a value to my project level parameter
proj.Parameters["ProjectParameter"].Value = 10;
// Get the package from the project collection
pi = proj.PackageItems[packageName];
// Convert the package into a package object
pkg = pi.Package;
// This is how we specify a package parameter value
pkg.Parameters["PackageParam"].Value = 777;
results = pkg.Execute();
Console.WriteLine(results);
}
This assumes you have an SSIS project called so_31812951
which compiled to an ispac located at C:\sandbox\so_31812951\so_31812951\bin\Development\so_31812951.ispac This project has a single package called Package.dtsx. There will be a Project level parameter, Int32, named ProjectParameter
as well as a package level parameter, Int32, named PackageParam
I believe you will need to utilize the ParameterValue class.
var parameters = new ParameterValue[somelength];
parameters[index] = new ParameterValue()
{
Name = "parameter name",
Value = "parameter value"
}
The report service will have a method:
SetExecutionParmeters(parameters, language).
I am assuming you are loading the report, "export.dtsx", into SSIS and executing via the report service.
