New Post: Get password into Oracle Adapter

Hi Tom,

Thanks for replying so soon.

I wan't aware of the RequireXmlPreprocessDirectives, previously I'd always included the ifdef comments. I do like the ability to turn this off since it makes the btdfproj easier to read / maintain, so I have now set the value of this property to false.

I have found that when I give the PortBindingsMaster.xml TransportTypeData\CustomProps elements a <Password vt="8" >${OracleDWPassword}</Password> element then the resulting bindings fail to import with, with BTSTask raising the error "Invalid or malformed XML data". However, if I change <Password vt="8" >${OracleDWPassword}</Password> to <random vt="8" >${OracleDWPassword}</random> then the bindings file is imported ok but obviously my password doesn't make its way in.

Here's the section from my PortBindingsMaster:

<UserName vt="8" >${OracleDWUsername}</UserName>
<Password vt="8" >${OracleDWPassword}</Password>

Here's the resulting content from PortBindings.xml:

<UserName vt="8">USER_DWDEV</UserName>
<Password vt="8">dwdev</Password>

Here's an extract from the output window:
