Author: ChatGPT
After an in-place upgrade of SQL Server, issues with SSIS packages, particularly script tasks, can be common due to changes in .NET Framework versions, SSIS script component execution, or the integration services version itself. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve these issues:
1. **Check the Script Task Runtime Version**:
- Open the SSIS package in Visual Studio and verify that the `TargetServerVersion` is set correctly (SQL Server 2019).
- Ensure that the Script Task is targeting the correct .NET Framework version. SQL Server 2019 uses .NET Framework 4.7.2, so make sure your scripts are compatible.
2. **Rebuild and Redeploy the SSIS Packages**:
- Open each problematic package in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), rebuild the script tasks, and redeploy the packages.
- This will recompile the scripts with the updated environment settings.
3. **SSISDB Catalog Cleanup**:
- If upgrading from SQL Server 2016, there might be remnants of the old SSISDB catalog that could cause conflicts. Run maintenance on the SSISDB and ensure that any unnecessary data is removed.
4. **Check the Event Log and SSISDB Logs**:
- Review the Windows Event Log and the SSISDB internal logs for any error messages related to the script tasks. This can give specific details on what is failing.
5. **Install Latest Service Packs and Cumulative Updates**:
- Ensure that your SQL Server 2019 instance is up-to-date with the latest cumulative updates, as these can fix known issues post-upgrade.
6. **Review Assembly References**:
- If your script tasks reference external assemblies, ensure those assemblies are correctly installed and compatible with SQL Server 2019.
These steps should help resolve script task issues after the upgrade. If you continue to experience issues, please provide more details about the specific errors, and we can troubleshoot further.

my server reports it has dotnet 4.8.0, that supercedes dotnet 4.7.2, right?
Author: ChatGPT
Yes, .NET Framework 4.8 supersedes 4.7.2. It's a higher version and is fully backward-compatible with previous versions of the .NET Framework, including 4.7.2. Any applications or components that require .NET Framework 4.7.2 should work without issues on a system with .NET Framework 4.8 installed.
However, it's still essential to ensure that your SSIS packages and script tasks are properly configured to work with the new environment. If you're facing issues, rebuilding and redeploying the SSIS packages might still be necessary to ensure that they are correctly recompiled against the installed .NET Framework version.

i've downloaded all ispacs from my SSISDB server. it appears i need to Rebuild the packages . is there a way to do that dynamically in powershell?
Author: ChatGPT
Yes, you can rebuild SSIS packages dynamically using PowerShell by leveraging the `MSBuild` command. You'll essentially automate the build process for your `.ispac` files (which are SSIS project deployment files). Here's an approach you can use to achieve this:
### Steps:
1. **Set Up the Environment**:
Ensure that MSBuild is installed on your machine. MSBuild comes with Visual Studio, so you???ll need to ensure that you have the appropriate version of Visual Studio or the standalone build tools installed.
2. **Use PowerShell to Rebuild Packages**:
You can write a PowerShell script to iterate through your `.ispac` files, extract them, and run `MSBuild` to rebuild the SSIS packages dynamically.
Here's a basic script outline that can help you get started:
### PowerShell Script to Rebuild SSIS Packages
```powershell
# Define your project directory and MSBuild path
$projectDir = "C:\Path\To\SSIS\Projects" # Change this to the directory containing your .ispac files
$msbuildPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe" # Path to MSBuild.exe
# Ensure MSBuild exists at the specified path
if (-not (Test-Path $msbuildPath)) {
Write-Error "MSBuild not found at $msbuildPath. Ensure that Visual Studio or Build Tools are installed."
exit
}
# Get all .dtproj files (SSIS project files) in the project directory
$projects = Get-ChildItem -Path $projectDir -Recurse -Filter "*.dtproj"
foreach ($project in $projects) {
Write-Host "Building project: $($project.FullName)"
# Run MSBuild to rebuild the project
$buildCmd = "& `"$msbuildPath`" `"$($project.FullName)`" /p:Configuration=Release /p:TargetServerVersion=SQLServer2019"
# Execute the build command
Invoke-Expression $buildCmd
# Check the build result
if ($LASTEXITCODE -eq 0) {
Write-Host "Build succeeded for project: $($project.FullName)"
} else {
Write-Error "Build failed for project: $($project.FullName)"
}
}
Write-Host "Rebuild process completed."
```
### Explanation:
1. **MSBuild Path**: This points to the `MSBuild.exe` executable. You'll need to adjust the path based on your Visual Studio version and installation location.
2. **Project Directory**: Set `$projectDir` to the directory where your SSIS projects are located. The script will recursively search for `.dtproj` files, which represent SSIS projects.
3. **Build Command**: The script runs MSBuild with the appropriate parameters to rebuild the SSIS project. You can adjust the `/p:TargetServerVersion` parameter to target the correct SQL Server version.
4. **Error Handling**: After each build, the script checks the `$LASTEXITCODE` to determine whether the build was successful.
### Important Notes:
- Ensure that all necessary dependencies and SDKs are installed.
- Make sure your Visual Studio installation includes the "SQL Server Integration Services" workload.
This script will help you rebuild all your SSIS projects dynamically. You can expand or modify it further depending on your needs.

it appears that the ispac, when unzipped, does not contain a *.dtproj file. how can i create one based on all the *.dtsx files in the folder?
Author: ChatGPT
When you unzip an `.ispac` file, it indeed doesn't contain a `.dtproj` file (which is the SSIS project file). Instead, an `.ispac` is essentially a deployment file that contains the SSIS packages (e.g., `.dtsx` files) and the project parameters, among other things. Unfortunately, you can't directly recreate a `.dtproj` file from an `.ispac` file. However, you can manually recreate a project using the `.dtsx` files in Visual Studio or programmatically generate a `.dtproj` file.
Here???s a method to recreate a `.dtproj` file dynamically using PowerShell:
### 1. **Understand the Structure of the `.dtproj` File**
A basic SSIS `.dtproj` file is an XML file that defines the project and references the individual `.dtsx` packages. You'll need to generate this XML structure dynamically.
### 2. **Generate the `.dtproj` File Using PowerShell**
Here???s a simplified example of how you can generate a `.dtproj` file based on the `.dtsx` files in a directory:
```powershell
# Define the project directory where your .dtsx files are located
$projectDir = "C:\Path\To\SSIS\Project"
$projectName = "RecreatedSSISProject"
$dtprojFile = "$projectDir\$projectName.dtproj"
# Begin creating the .dtproj file content
$dtprojContent = @"
<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<ProjectGuid>{$(&#91;guid]::NewGuid().ToString())}</ProjectGuid>
<Configurations>
<Configuration Name="Development" />
</Configurations>
<PackageConfigurations>
</PackageConfigurations>
<Packages>
"@
# Find all .dtsx files in the directory and add them to the .dtproj file
$dtsxFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path $projectDir -Filter "*.dtsx"
foreach ($file in $dtsxFiles) {
$dtprojContent += " <Package Name=`"$($file.BaseName)`" FileName=`"$($file.FullName)`" ID={$(&#91;guid]::NewGuid().ToString())} />`n"
}
# Close the XML structure
$dtprojContent += @"
</Packages>
<Connections>
</Connections>
<DataSources>
</DataSources>
<DataSourceReferences>
</DataSourceReferences>
<DeploymentModel>Project</DeploymentModel>
</Project>
"@
# Save the content to a .dtproj file
Set-Content -Path $dtprojFile -Value $dtprojContent
Write-Host "Created .dtproj file at $dtprojFile"
```
### Explanation:
1. **XML Structure**:
The script creates the basic XML structure of a `.dtproj` file. The `ProjectGuid` and `Package` elements are generated dynamically. Each `.dtsx` file in the directory is added to the `Packages` section of the `.dtproj` file.
2. **Dynamic GUIDs**:
The script generates new GUIDs for the `ProjectGuid` and the `ID` of each package. These GUIDs uniquely identify the project and packages within it.
3. **Saving the `.dtproj` File**:
Once the `.dtproj` content is created, it's saved to the specified directory.
### 3. **Rebuild the Project Using Visual Studio or MSBuild**
After generating the `.dtproj` file, you can open it in Visual Studio or use the `MSBuild` command as described earlier to rebuild the SSIS packages.
This approach gives you a basic starting point. Depending on your project's complexity, you may need to add additional elements like `Connections`, `DataSources`, and `Parameters` to the `.dtproj` file. You can inspect an existing `.dtproj` file from another SSIS project to see what additional elements you might need.

this is really close. in the xml file, i get a value for the GUID like ID={8c72205a-f8bf-4034-95d3-3b563e8b8f16}; note the curly braces. when i run msbuild, i get the explicit error: error MSB4025: The
project file could not be loaded. '{' is an unexpected token. The expected token is '"' or '''. Line 9, position 177.
Author: ChatGPT
The error you're encountering occurs because the curly braces `{}` around the GUID values are being included in the XML, which isn't expected in the MSBuild project file. You should remove the curly braces and just include the GUIDs as plain strings.
Let's adjust the PowerShell script to generate the `.dtproj` file without curly braces around the GUIDs.
### Updated PowerShell Script to Generate `.dtproj` File:
```powershell
# Define the project directory where your .dtsx files are located
$projectDir = "C:\Path\To\SSIS\Project" # Update to your path
$projectName = "RecreatedSSISProject"
$dtprojFile = "$projectDir\$projectName.dtproj"
# Begin creating the .dtproj file content
$dtprojContent = @"
<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<ProjectGuid>{$(&#91;guid]::NewGuid().ToString())}</ProjectGuid>
<Configurations>
<Configuration Name="Development" />
</Configurations>
<PackageConfigurations>
</PackageConfigurations>
<Packages>
"@
# Find all .dtsx files in the directory and add them to the .dtproj file
$dtsxFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path $projectDir -Filter "*.dtsx"
foreach ($file in $dtsxFiles) {
$packageId = &#91;guid]::NewGuid().ToString() # Generate a GUID without curly braces
$dtprojContent += " <Package Name=`"$($file.BaseName)`" FileName=`"$($file.FullName)`" ID=`"$packageId`" />`n"
}
# Close the XML structure
$dtprojContent += @"
</Packages>
<Connections>
</Connections>
<DataSources>
</DataSources>
<DataSourceReferences>
</DataSourceReferences>
<DeploymentModel>Project</DeploymentModel>
</Project>
"@
# Save the content to a .dtproj file
Set-Content -Path $dtprojFile -Value $dtprojContent
Write-Host "Created .dtproj file at $dtprojFile"
```
### Key Changes:
- The `GUID` is now generated as a plain string without curly braces: `$packageId = &#91;guid]::NewGuid().ToString()`.
- The `ID` attribute in the XML is assigned the GUID directly without curly braces.
### Example Output in the `.dtproj` File:
The XML should now look like this:
```xml
<Package Name="MyPackage" FileName="C:\Path\To\SSIS\Project\MyPackage.dtsx" ID="8c72205a-f8bf-4034-95d3-3b563e8b8f16" />
```
This should resolve the MSBuild issue related to the unexpected curly braces in the GUIDs.
After generating the `.dtproj` file with these changes, you should be able to successfully run `MSBuild` on it.

for the generated xml for the *.dtproj, i am getting errors for the ProjectGuid and Configuration tags like this: error MSB4067: The e
lement <Configurations> beneath element <Project> is unrecognized.
Author: ChatGPT
The error you're seeing indicates that the XML structure of the `.dtproj` file isn't being recognized by `MSBuild`. This can happen if the `.dtproj` file doesn't fully adhere to the expected schema for SSIS project files.
SSIS project files (`.dtproj`) have a more complex structure, especially with the way elements like configurations, connections, and data sources are handled. Here's an updated template for a `.dtproj` file that should follow the correct schema for an SSIS project targeting SQL Server 2019.
### Updated `.dtproj` Template
```powershell
# Define the project directory where your .dtsx files are located
$projectDir = "C:\Path\To\SSIS\Project" # Update to your path
$projectName = "RecreatedSSISProject"
$dtprojFile = "$projectDir\$projectName.dtproj"
# Begin creating the .dtproj file content
$dtprojContent = @"
<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<DeploymentModel>Project</DeploymentModel>
<ProjectGuid>{$(&#91;guid]::NewGuid().ToString())}</ProjectGuid>
<SSIS:Project xmlns:SSIS="www.microsoft.com/SqlServer/SSIS">
<SSIS:Packages>
"@
# Find all .dtsx files in the directory and add them to the .dtproj file
$dtsxFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path $projectDir -Filter "*.dtsx"
foreach ($file in $dtsxFiles) {
$packageId = &#91;guid]::NewGuid().ToString() # Generate a GUID without curly braces
$dtprojContent += " <SSIS:Package SSIS:Name=`"$($file.BaseName)`" SSIS:PackageFormatVersion=`"8`" SSIS:ID=`"$packageId`" />`n"
}
# Close the XML structure
$dtprojContent += @"
</SSIS:Packages>
<SSIS:ConnectionManagers />
<SSIS:LogProviders />
<SSIS:Variables />
<SSIS:ProjectParams />
</SSIS:Project>
</Project>
"@
# Save the content to a .dtproj file
Set-Content -Path $dtprojFile -Value $dtprojContent
Write-Host "Created .dtproj file at $dtprojFile"
```
### Explanation:
1. **XML Namespaces and Elements**: The `.dtproj` file has a specific structure with namespaces. In SSIS, the `SSIS` namespace defines key elements such as packages, connection managers, log providers, and variables.
2. **Packages Section**:
- The `<SSIS:Packages>` section lists the packages included in the project.
- Each package has attributes such as `SSIS:Name`, `SSIS:PackageFormatVersion` (version 8 for SQL Server 2019), and `SSIS:ID` (a unique GUID).
3. **Connection Managers, Log Providers, Variables, and Project Parameters**: These sections are placeholders in this template. If your project has connection managers, variables, or project-level parameters, you'll need to populate these sections accordingly.
4. **`DeploymentModel`**: This specifies that the project uses the "Project Deployment Model," which is common in newer versions of SSIS.
### Testing the Updated Template
Once you generate this `.dtproj` file, you should be able to open it in Visual Studio or run it with `MSBuild`. If your project has specific connection managers, variables, or parameters, you'll need to extend the script to populate those sections.
If you continue to encounter issues, it might be necessary to open an existing `.dtproj` file from a working SSIS project and tailor the XML content to match your specific project setup.

Given the model `.dtproj` file you provided, we need to match its structure and elements more closely. The provided `.dtproj` file includes several specific sections and attributes that should be incorporated into the generated file to ensure compatibility with MSBuild and Visual Studio.
Here???s how you can adjust the PowerShell script to reflect this structure:
### Adjusted PowerShell Script
```powershell
# Define the project directory where your .dtsx files are located
$projectDir = "C:\Path\To\SSIS\Project" # Update to your path
$projectName = "RecreatedSSISProject"
$dtprojFile = "$projectDir\$projectName.dtproj"
# Begin creating the .dtproj file content
$dtprojContent = @"

```
### Key Adjustments:
1. **XML Declaration**: Added `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>` at the top.
2. **Project Elements**:
- `ProductVersion` and `SchemaVersion` have been included.
- `Database`, `DataSources`, and `DataSourceViews` sections have been added.
- `DeploymentModelSpecificContent` includes `Manifest` with SSIS project details.
- Added placeholders for `SSIS:ConnectionManagers`, `SSIS:DeploymentInfo`, and `SSIS:PackageInfo`.
3. **Package Elements**:
- Each package is defined with `SSIS:Name`, `SSIS:EntryPoint`, and `SSIS:ID`.
- Metadata for each package is included under `SSIS:PackageInfo`.
### Notes:
- The `ProductVersion` and `SchemaVersion` are placeholders; you may need to adjust these based on your specific environment or project settings.
- This script generates a basic structure. Depending on your project???s complexity, you may need to add more specific configurations or details.
This adjusted script should more closely align with the structure expected by MSBuild and Visual Studio.

in the zip file, there appears to be a file called @Project.manifest , which seems like it is the XML for the project.
Author: ChatGPT
The `@Project.manifest` file in your zipped `.ispac` file is indeed the manifest XML for your SSIS project. This file contains information about the packages, connection managers, and other project-level settings. If you can extract this file from the `.ispac`, it will save you the effort of manually recreating the project structure.
### Steps to Recreate the Project Using `@Project.manifest`:
1. **Extract the `@Project.manifest` File:**
- Unzip your `.ispac` file and locate the `@Project.manifest` file. This file contains the project configuration in XML format.
2. **Convert `@Project.manifest` to `.dtproj`:**
- The `@Project.manifest` file will contain much of the XML you need for your `.dtproj` file.
- You can rename this file to `.dtproj` after making any necessary adjustments, such as ensuring it has the correct namespaces, GUIDs, and any other elements expected by Visual Studio.
3. **Review and Adjust the XML Structure:**
- Open the `@Project.manifest` file in a text editor and review its structure. It may already contain all the packages and settings that need to be included in the project.
- Compare it to a known working `.dtproj` file (like the one generated by Visual Studio) to see if any adjustments are necessary.
4. **Save as `.dtproj`:**
- Once the structure is correct, save the file with the `.dtproj` extension and place it in your project folder.
### Example Process:
1. **Unzip the `.ispac`:**
- Extract the contents of the `.ispac` file, which is essentially a ZIP archive.
- Locate the `@Project.manifest` file within the extracted content.
2. **Inspect and Modify the `@Project.manifest` XML:**
- Open the file and inspect the XML. It should look similar to a `.dtproj` file.
- Modify any necessary fields, such as paths to packages or connection managers.
3. **Convert and Save:**
- Save the modified `@Project.manifest` file as `<ProjectName>.dtproj` in the appropriate folder.
4. **Open in Visual Studio:**
- Open the `.dtproj` file in Visual Studio to verify that it loads correctly. You can make further modifications in the IDE if needed.
This approach leverages the existing `@Project.manifest` file, allowing you to rebuild your project dynamically without starting from scratch.

i am calling msBuild, the xml seems to be valid, but i get error rror MSB4067: The e
lement <DeploymentModel> beneath element <Project> is unrecognized.
Author: ChatGPT
The error `MSB4067: The element <DeploymentModel> beneath element <Project> is unrecognized` typically occurs when MSBuild doesn't recognize a custom element in the project file. This can happen because MSBuild is expecting specific elements for standard project types (like `.csproj` or `.vbproj`) and isn't equipped to handle SSIS-specific elements directly.
### Explanation:
`<DeploymentModel>` is specific to SSIS project files and is not a recognized element in standard MSBuild project files. MSBuild is treating the `.dtproj` file as if it were a standard MSBuild project, which is why it is failing.
### Solution:
SSIS projects require Visual Studio or the Integration Services Build component to compile properly. If you are calling MSBuild directly, you need to ensure that you have the necessary SSIS build components installed.
#### Steps to Resolve:
1. **Ensure SSIS Build Components are Installed:**
- Install the **SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools)** component for Visual Studio. This includes the necessary build targets and tasks for SSIS projects.
- Alternatively, install the **Integration Services Extension** for Visual Studio if it isn't already installed.
2. **Use the Correct MSBuild Version:**
- SSIS projects are generally built with the version of MSBuild that ships with Visual Studio, not the standalone MSBuild.
- Ensure you are using the correct MSBuild executable located in your Visual Studio installation folder. For example:
```
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\MSBuild.exe
```
- Replace `Professional` with your specific edition (e.g., `Community`, `Enterprise`).
3. **Use `dtproj` Specific Build Targets:**
- When calling MSBuild, specify the correct targets for SSIS projects. Typically, you need to reference the SSIS build targets, which may look like this:
```bash
msbuild /target:Rebuild /p:Configuration=Development YourProject.dtproj
```
4. **Check for Required Imports in `.dtproj`:**
- Ensure your `.dtproj` file includes the necessary imports for SSIS build targets. For example:
```xml
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\SSDT\Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.targets" />
```
- This import statement points to the SSIS build targets that MSBuild will use to handle SSIS-specific elements like `<DeploymentModel>`.
### Example `.dtproj` Snippet:
Make sure that your `.dtproj` includes an import similar to the following:
```xml
<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\SSDT\Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.targets" />
<DeploymentModel>Project</DeploymentModel>
<ProductVersion>15.0.2000.180</ProductVersion>
<SchemaVersion>9.0.1.0</SchemaVersion>
...
</Project>
```
The `Import` statement is critical as it tells MSBuild where to find the tasks and targets specific to SSIS projects.
#### Final Notes:
- If you don???t have the SSIS build targets installed, Visual Studio won???t be able to build the project correctly, leading to errors.
- Always verify that your MSBuild is targeting the correct environment for building SSIS projects, as regular MSBuild installations won't handle the `.dtproj` format properly.
