A server upgrade prompted me to migrate some SSIS packages. These packages were going from SQL 2008R2 to SQL 2008R2, so there was no change there; however, the new server had a different version of the SharePoint List Adapters, which allow you to easily write to and get data from SharePoint Lists.
When I opened the package on the new server, the list adapter was not recognized and I got the following error.
“Error 1 Validation error. %Job Name% The component metadata for “component “SharePoint List Destination” (529)” could not be upgraded to the newer version of the component. The PerformUpgrade method failed. %Job Name% 0 0″
The ‘version’ of the adapter was same; however, I was using an updated release as shown here by the release date for the adapter. Upgrading was straightforward, once I found this post on codeplex. My experience was going to the package in Windows Explorer and opening the file in Textpad. Now I guess I should lament here that I didn’t do it in PowerShell, but one thing at a time here! I then replaced the PublicTokenID as mentioned in the post. I saved the text file and had to re-open the SSIS project. There is a newer version of the file itself and one would need to update the Version and the PublicTokenID if upgrading to the latest version.
The last step was to add a SharePoint Credential to the List Adapter as this is a new feature. I right clicked in my connection manager and choose new connection. I was then able to choose SPCRED and enter the appropriate information. My package was converted to the new server and worked well.
