• SQL Server Calling SSIS package from web service - Security issue

  I am trying to call a SSIS package from a web service hosted on the same machine as the package file is sitting. All that the package does is a simple Execute SQL task with one datasource connection. I have set impersonation as true. When I run the package from the web service on the virual port (through Visual studio IDE) it runs fine. http://localhost:4609/WebServiceRunSSIS/LaunchSSISPackageServiceCS.asmx In the above case I don't think impersonation means anything coz it runs successfully even when there is no impersonation set! I then run the same service (asmx page) from the browser after making it a web service on my machine http://localhost/WebServiceRunSSIS/LaunchSSISPackageServiceCS.asmx I get an error indicati ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Peer Channel: Internal exception in PeerFlooderSimple.IsNotSeenBefore

  Hello, I am trying to get the peer channel to process received messages and have run into a real snag. When I call an operation on the mesh locally, everything works (message received, operation invoked).

When i look at my running services i see the advanced features like SQL Server Full Text Search and the like ,but cant seem to find the reporting service.
