I’m trying to update source localization information to destination.
Steps I’ve followed inside the DDT ;
1. New Profile (LocalizationUpdate) with the option “Always Package”
2. Add New Database (StrataFrameSample)
3. Add Messaging And Localization Tables
4. Focus Deployment Data and Start Data Deployment Package Wizard
a. Select Deployment Data Type
b. Source and Destination
c. Include Localization Project
5. Now, I have Two packages (Localization(Messages) and Localization(Languages)
6. Run the package (with SampleInstaller executable in Vb.NET samples)
The package is now ready to be deployed.  Review the deployment options below before continuing.  If you would like to make changes, click the '< Back' button.

Package: LocalizationUpdate.pkg
SQL Server:
SQL Authentication: SQL Server Security
SQL Username: sa
Deployment Data Includes: None

Note: Password information omitted intentionally.

Questions

1. What is missing with the process ?
2. Why Deployment Data Includes property (see above) is set to none ? When I ‘ve controlled package file no bin files in it.? How Data packages can be included in the package file ?
3.  “Create package for install” menu doesn’t work at any  time. Event Id = 1026. No Error Message detail. (Error Message : An Error occured while attemting )
4. Deploy To Server – I Yes buton is selected. I’ve got the error message below ;

NullReferenceException
  Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

if No button is selected then got the same error message  with sample installer.

Connection (StrataFrame Data Store points Strataframe database in my local machine.)

The new profile (TestLocalizationUpdate),

Import Database (StrataFrame Sample),

Deployment Package wizard (Source : StrataFrame, Destination : StrataFrameSample)

  Deployment Items added into the list. Check source and destination settings. Everything seems okey.

"Create package for install" button does not work. (See my first message)

So I will work with sample installer.

It is interesting, I've selected the package but Database Deployment Wizard's "select sql server combo" does not work. (SQL server instances were not listed.)

(Another question may be asked ? Why this sample asks for the connection ? Source and Destination connections are in the package ?)

I've seen bin files included in my package. (So connection is valid and this part of work is running)

I want to verify my information ; DDT requires Destination Database (with the same name as destination) and all or part of items to compare with the destination database for upgrading. Is it true ?

In my case, I have imported all Strataframesample database items but my need is only messaging tables. The process has failed with CustomerCreditCards Table.

Regarding this:

Is it the SQLServer Expresses edition? If so, try typing your SQLServer on the box, like "localhost\sqlexpress" or "YourMachineName\sqlexpress"
