I am starting to work with SSIS and would like to get a copy of a database
from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. I have been able to make it work using the
wizard, which gives me a dataflow with source and destination, but this is
not quite what I'm looking for.

I would like to use the database transfer task as this seems to do exactly
what I'm looking for, but I get this error every time:

Error: The execute method on the task returned error code 0x80131500 (Script
failed for ApplicationRole 'Report Service'.). The execute method must
succeed, and indicate the result using an "out" parameter.

My connections on both the 2000 server and 2005 server are both configured
to use the SA account.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get this working? It seems
like it should be a very simple task.

Hi Jackye,

Welcome to use MSDN Managed Newsgroup Support.

From your description, my understanding of this issue is: You use the
database transfer task to transfer the database from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005.
If I misunderstood your concern, please feel free to point it out.

To narrow down the issue, would you please provide some information?
1. Do you want to transfer the Report Server Database?
2. What's the Method you use in the task, DatabaseOffline or Database
online?
3. If you drop the application role, does this issue occur?

Yes, the issue is correct. I am trying to copy a database from 2000 to 2005
using the SSIS database transfer task. I do not have a report server database
that I am aware of. I am just trying to transfer one database. I have tried
both database online and database offline, but online is the way I would like
it to work. I do not know how to drop the application role, and I think
dropping it would most likely break the ability to report on the 2000 server.
I do see that the role does not exist on the 2005 server, so perhaps that is
something I need to create manually that the transfer database task does not
handle???
