load sql server table from sharepoint list

Question

I am trying to replicate article written by Arvind Kushwaha on: Load Data To A SQL Table From SharePoint List Using SSIS.

The scripts compiled without error. However, I am running into the following error at runtime:

Script component has encountered an exception in user code:The 'username' argument is invalid.

Any thought or suggestion will be helpful

Hi Tom Enore Check Credentials : Ensure that the username and password you are using to access the SharePoint list are correct. Confirm that the account has the necessary permissions to access the SharePoint list. Verify Script Configuration : Double-check the script component in your SSIS package to ensure that the credentials are being passed correctly. Ensure that the variables storing the username and password are correctly referenced in the script. Use Secure Strings : If you are using plain text to store credentials consider using secure strings to avoid any potential issues with special characters. Test SharePoint Access : Try accessing the SharePoint list using the same credentials outside of SSIS (e.g. using a browser or a simple console application) to ensure that the credentials work as expected. Review Script for Errors : Look through the script for any hardcoded values or misconfigurations that might be causing the issue. Ensure that the script correctly retrieves and uses the username variable. Logging and Debugging : Add logging or debug statements in the script to capture the values of the username and other parameters being passed to ensure they are as expected. Step 1: Check Credentials Ensure you have the correct username and password. Step 2: Verify Script Configuration Open the script component in SSIS and look for the section where the credentials are being used. It might look something like this: string username = Variables.Username; string password = Variables.Password; string sharepointUrl = Variables.SharePointUrl; using (var context = new ClientContext(sharepointUrl)) { SecureString securePassword = new SecureString(); foreach (char c in password.ToCharArray()) securePassword.AppendChar(c); context.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(username securePassword); // Rest of the code to access the SharePoint list } Step 3: Test SharePoint Access Use a simple console application to test accessing the SharePoint list: using System; using System.Net; using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client; namespace SharePointTest { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { string username = your_username; string password = your_password; string sharepointUrl = https://yoursharepointsite; using (var context = new ClientContext(sharepointUrl)) { SecureString securePassword = new SecureString(); foreach (char c in password.ToCharArray()) securePassword.AppendChar(c); context.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(username securePassword); Web web = context.Web; context.Load(web); context.ExecuteQuery(); Console.WriteLine(Title:  + web.Title); } } } } Step 4: Add Logging and Debugging Add logging statements to capture the values being used: Console.WriteLine(Username:  + username); Console.WriteLine(SharePoint URL:  + sharepointUrl); // Ensure the password is not logged in plain text for security reasons Console.WriteLine(Password length:  + password.Length); By following these steps you should be able to identify where the issue lies and correct the 'username' argument problem.
