SQL Server Agent - Job does not start

  • Hello, I have a DTS package which can be executed successfully, but when I create a job schedule - it does not start and produces the following error message.

    DTSRun: Loading... DTSRun: Executing... DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1 DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1 DTSRun OnError: DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1, Error = -2147467259 (80004005) Error string: Error opening datafile: The system cannot find the path specified. Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset Provider Help file: DTSFFile.hlp Help context: 0 Error Detail Records: Error: 3 (3); Provider Error: 3 (3) Error string: Error opening datafile: The system cannot find the path specified. Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset Provider Help file: DTSFFile.hlp Help context: 0 DTSRun OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1 DTSRun: Package execution complete. Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.

    Looking at the error, it says it cannot find the path, which is confusing because the way I created the job was from the DTS.

    Further info - the DTS is created on the actual server and uses window authentication.

    Is there something I'm doing wrong or need to do something different?

    Any help appreicated, Thank you.

  • I've seen this error when accessing a file that is not on the server where the DTS package is running. If that's the case here, try using a UNC path for the file.
