SSIS OLE DB Command error: Could not deduce type for parameter in position '1' for remote call to module 'sp_executesql' - sql

Question

I have an OLE DB Command task in an SSIS package that received parameters, inserts them into a table in a linked-server, and returns the ID that was created on the linked server.
When I run the query in SSMS it works, but within SSIS I get the error message in the suject line.
The SqlCommand within the OLE DB Command is:
DECLARE
#UserId int = ?,
#ContactUsId int = ?,
#CreateDate datetime = ?,
#Subject nvarchar(500) = ?,
#InteractionClusterId int = null -- We will be testing for this being null
-- removed some irrelevant code here
-- if all else failed, insert a new record to MngInteractionCluster
if #InteractionClusterId is null
begin
declare #RemoteQuery nvarchar(max) = N'
insert into BI_Mng.dbo.MngInteractionCluster
(
UserId,
ContactUsId,
CreateDateTime,
[Subject]
)
values
(
#UserId,
#ContactUsId,
#CreateDate,
#Subject
)
SELECT #InteractionClusterId_OUT = SCOPE_IDENTITY()'
declare #Params nvarchar(1000) = N'
#UserId int,
#ContactUsId int,
#CreateDate datetime,
#Subject nvarchar(500),
#InteractionClusterId_OUT int OUTPUT'
EXEC [BI_WAREHOUSE\BI_GLOBAL].master.dbo.sp_executesql
#RemoteQuery,
#Params,
#UserId = #UserId ,
#ContactUsId = #ContactUsId,
#CreateDate = #CreateDate,
#Subject = #Subject,
#InteractionClusterId_OUT = #InteractionClusterId OUTPUT;
end
select
? = #InteractionClusterId
Any help on getting this to parse in SSIS would be really appreciated!

Answer 1

I ended up moving the heavy lifting into a stored procedure on the local server.
Now the code in the OLE DB command component is a concise
DECLARE
#OriginalMailId int = ?,
#UserId int = ?,
#ContactUsId int = ?,
#CreateDate datetime = ?,
#Subject nvarchar(500) = ?,
#isAutoReply bit = ?,
#BIEnvironmentId int = ?,
#InteractionClusterId int
exec BI_Mng.dbo.GetInteractionClusterId
#OriginalMailId,
#UserId,
#ContactUsId,
#CreateDate,
#Subject,
#isAutoReply,
#BIEnvironmentId,
#InteractionClusterId OUTPUT
select ? = #InteractionClusterId
Inside the stored procedure there's a call to a remote execution of sp_ExecuteSQL on the linked server. In order for SSIS to parse it, it's vital that it include a WITH RESULT SETS clause, like so:
declare #RemoteQuery nvarchar(max) = N'
insert into BI_Mng.dbo.MngInteractionCluster
(
UserId,
ContactUsId,
CreateDateTime,
[Subject]
)
values
(
#UserId,
#ContactUsId,
#CreateDate,
#Subject
)
SELECT #InteractionClusterId_OUT = SCOPE_IDENTITY()'
declare #Params nvarchar(1000) = N'
#UserId int,
#ContactUsId int,
#CreateDate datetime,
#Subject nvarchar(500),
#InteractionClusterId_OUT int OUTPUT'
EXEC [BI_WAREHOUSE\BI_GLOBAL].master.dbo.sp_executesql
#RemoteQuery,
#Params,
#UserId = #UserId ,
#ContactUsId = #ContactUsId,
#CreateDate = #CreateDate,
#Subject = #Subject,
#InteractionClusterId_OUT = #InteractionClusterId OUTPUT
WITH RESULT SETS NONE;
