WMI reader Task and Connections

  • Hi,

    I am using WMI reader task to query event log from different servers. I just want to know that SSIS is using WQL or extended WQL. As WQL does not allow for count & datediff function but extended WQL does allow that. I need to use the count function as my package fail where there is no log entry for a specified date for server/log with the following error

     

    Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object

    .

    So if I can use count then I will check it first to see if entries exists then I will run the query.

    Please Guide.

  • I think it does.  Does this link help answer your question? http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/querying_with_wql.asp

  • HI,

    I know SSIS use the WQL but WQL does not provide count(*) function. Only extended WQL provides this. If I write this query in WMI Reader Task

    Select count(*) FROM Win32_NTLogEvent

    It will say invalid query.
