Hi,

I'm calling some SQL to run backups of our databases in a task and i'm getting the following error in the OUTPUT (stderr)
Quote:

Exception in Task: An SqlParameter with ParameterName '@RETURN_VALUE' is not contained by this SqlParameterCollection.



I have run the SQL successfully in Management Studio.

Can anyone help?

My SQL CODE is below - Thanks in advance.


DECLARE @name VARCHAR(50) -- database name 
DECLARE @path VARCHAR(256) -- path for backup files 
DECLARE @fileName VARCHAR(256) -- filename for backup 
DECLARE @fileDate VARCHAR(20) -- used for file name
DECLARE @BackupSetName VARCHAR(256) -- used for the verify

SET @path = 'H:\SQL Backups\User\' 

SELECT @fileDate = replace((replace(convert(varchar(20), getdate(),113), ' ', '_')),':','_')

DECLARE db_cursor CURSOR FOR 
SELECT name 
FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases 
WHERE name NOT IN ('master','model','msdb','tempdb')

OPEN db_cursor  
FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name  

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0  
BEGIN  

	SET @fileName = @path + @name + '_' + @fileDate + '.BAK'
    SET @BackupSetName = @name + @fileDate
    --BACKUP DATABASE @name TO DISK = @fileName 
    BACKUP DATABASE @name TO  DISK = @fileName WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = @BackupSetName, SKIP, REWIND, NOUNLOAD,  STATS = 10
		declare @backupSetId as int
		select @backupSetId = position from msdb..backupset where database_name = @name and backup_set_id=(select max(backup_set_id) from msdb..backupset where database_name=@name )
		if @backupSetId is null begin raiserror(N'Verify failed. Backup information for database ''DATABASENAME'' not found.', 16, 1) 
		end
			RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM  DISK = @fileName WITH  FILE = @backupSetId,  NOUNLOAD,  NOREWIND
	FETCH NEXT FROM db_cursor INTO @name  
END  

CLOSE db_cursor  
DEALLOCATE db_cursor

Make sure that you use the MSSQL Direct connection type.

Also, try creating a new Task. Sounds like it is using the Job type instead of Text type of SQL.

I am having the same problem.
I am using a connection type of "connecting to an SQL Server instance" and an SQL text type.
The error I am getting is "sqlparameter with parametername '@return_value' is not contained by this sqlparametercollection"

Any guesses ?

Please try the same as I described in last post. Create a new Task and run it. Also, "connecting to an SQL Server instance" is no connection type. Edit the Connection and check that it is "MSSQL Direct".

I don't have an option MSSQL direct.
The options I have are :
Standard Security,Standard Security alternative syntax, Trusted Connection, Trusted Connection alternative syntax, Connecting to an SQL Server Instance, Trusted connection from a CE device, connect via an IP address, Specyfing packet size.

Version of visualcron : 5.6.9
Build of visualcron : 17920

Thank you in advance

That is the first thing you select when creating a new Connection. Try creating a new one and you will see.
