SMPP Tasks

The SMPP Task implements Short Message Peer-to-Peer message transmission functionality.

Remarks

The SMPP Task implements a Short Message Peer-to-Peer client that can be used to send SMS messages from your SSIS Package to any SMS-enabled entity.

SMPP Receive Task

Before using the SMPP Send Task, you must first contact a Short Message Service (SMS) vendor to create an account. Once your account is properly set up, you must set the server information on your task through the SMPPServer and SMPPPort properties. If your SMS vendor supplies you with a UserId or Password, you should enter those as well. Some vendors may also require specific SystemType values in order to communicate with a client. If this is the case, the vendor will supply you with that information as well.

The task also supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL) transport security. This may be enabled by selecting an SSLCert and a valid SSLAcceptServerCert, and then setting the SSLStartMode to an appropriate value.

Once configured the task will connect to the SMPP server and remain connected to receive incoming messages. It will remain connected until the task is shut down.

SMPP Send Task

Once the send port is set up, it will connect to the SMPP server whenever it has a message to send. It will send the contents of the MessageText property as the text of the short message.

The task allows you to send text messages to one or more RecipientAddress. You may also set the SendAsData property to send large (greater than 64KB) messages as binary data instead of as a text message.
