Question

SSIS SQL Task - "Parameter name is unrecognized"

I have a SQL Task that needs to run a simple update to update a single row.

I have set the SQLStatement to:

update agency set AgencyLastBatchSeqNo = ? where agencyID = ?

On the Parameter Mapping page I gave set Parameter 0 and Parameter 1 to variables that I know contain the right values. I have also set the Parameter Name values correctly.

In the database, the column AgencyLastBatchSeqNo is an int, AgencyID is a big int. Does anyone have a reference to find what the data types map to in SSIS? I have guessed at SHORT for the int and LONG for the big int.

When I run the task I get the following error:

[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "update agency set AgencyLastBatchSeqNo = ? where AgencyID = ?" failed with the following error: "Parameter name is unrecognized.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

Could anyone please suggest what may be wrong?

Thanks

Rob.

The answer to this is to change the Parameter Name value in the Parameter Mapping screen.

Given the following query

SELECT Id, AnimalName FROM dbo.Farm WHERE Farm_id = ?

Assuming my Parameter is an integer Variable named User::Farm_id
Choose the following values on the Parameter Mapping Screen

Variable Name  -   User::Farm_id
Direction      -   Input
Data Type      -   LONG
Parameter Name -   0
Parameter Size -   -1

Originally the Parameter Name will be "NewParameterName". Simply change this to the ordinal position of your variable marker ("?")

If you are using more than 1 parameter then in the execute sql task window go to parameter mapping and set the parameter name to 0,1,2,3....depending on the number of parameter and the parameter size to -1.. This must be helpful to resolve your issue.
