BizTalk WCF-SQL Error: Microsoft.ServiceModel.Channels.Common.MetadataException: Object [dbo].[ColumnName] of type StoredProcedure does not exist.

In the past, I wrote a blog post about a similar type of error: BizTalk WCF-SQL Error: Microsoft.ServiceModel.Channels.Common.MetadataException: Object [dbo].[StoredProcedureName] of type StoredProcedure does not exist. The difference for this new post is that instead of being the Stored Procedure name that is complaining, it is now complaining about the Column name:

A message sent to adapter “WCF-Custom” on send port ” STAGING_SQL_WCF_SEND” with URI “mssql://SQL-SERVER-NAME//Database?” is suspended.

Microsoft.ServiceModel.Channels.Common.MetadataException: Object [dbo].[ColumnName] of type StoredProcedure does not exist.

However, despite this error and despite the fact that we were talking about the same server and the same project of the previous issue, one thing I was sure about: they were not related at all.

Cause

At first glimpse, it seems that the stored procedure does not include the column name: IdRecord, or that this field was not passed to the stored procedure at all. So, this was my first point to validate, however, I quickly realized that:

  • The stored procedure had that field;
  • And I was correctly passing that field to the stored procedure in the message;

Just to precaution, I double-checked if that was not related to security permission, and it was not also. So I went back to my some conspiracy theories list that I described in my previous post:

  • You should regenerate schemas: no, never
  • or that may be a mismatch in the namespaces: I believe it could be a possibility, but no, since I was using the same scheme, and it was working fine
  • that the “?” character that you normally find in the URI is causing this problem: also impossible in my case.
  • And my favorite is that you should give “sysadmin” rights to the service account that is running the host instance: never.

But the last one put me thinking: the operation is not properly set.

Because the last change I made was redesigning the solution that was performing composite operations with the SQL Adapter, in my case, I was sending multiple rows to update in the same message.

And now I was doing a single operation.

And by doing that the WCF-SQL Adapter was throwing this strange behavior.

Solution

The solution was quite simple. We just have to change the Action CompositeOperation with the correct operation action mapping, as show below as an example:

<BtsActionMapping xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <Operation Name="SQLStatusUpdateOp" Action="TypedProcedure/dbo/sp_BTS_updateTransaction"/>
</BtsActionMapping>

After doing this change, everything started working perfectly again.
