• SQL Server Data integration challenge. Will SSIS help?

  Hi, We have a requirement to do ETL on large EDI batch files into SQL Server. For this we have to map several X12 schemas - which are fairly complex - into relational schema. Right now they use Biztalk but that is not a good option for batch processing of large EDI files. Performance is really bad. Is this possible using SSIS Are there any 3rd party tools which might integrate with SSIS to make this easier or can do this as a stand-alone I know Mapforce 2005 from Altova supports X12 mapping and even generates C# code for the mapping. Anyone has experience in using Mapforce generated C# code in SSIS Looking forward to any insigh ...Show All

• .NET Development wsdl.exe and xhtml in .net 2.0

  If I use wsdl.exe to generate proxy code for a wsdl file that imports the xhtml1-strict schema it fails with a circular reference error. At least in 2.0 it does, the 1.1 version of wsdl.exe generates the proxy sucessfully. The wsdl file validates ok using every xml tool I can find including the .net parser and msxml 6.0. I can create documents that use the XHTML schema that validate ok. Any suggestions Is the xhtml schema broken if so why do no other parsers complain. The detailed error is Error: Unable to import binding 'HTTPBindingGet' from namespace 'http://myuri/po rtal/v1/'.   - Unable to import operation 'Search'.   - Gro ...Show All
