Executing DTS packages

  • Hi,

    Could any please tell me how to execute the legacy DTS packages that are migrated from the SQL Server 2000 instance (32-bit) to SQL Server 2005 instance (64-bit)?

    Thank You,

  • I don't know if this is your issue, but maybe you just need the plugin to manage the DTS packages in SSMS.

    Download it from here:

    Hope this helps

  • Hi Gianluca,

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    Could you please tell me, to run Legacy DTS packages (32-bit) on 64-bit machine which version of the backward compatibility tools should I download from this site X86 or X64

    Thanks,

  • This is a client tool, so you don't need the x64 version if your server is x64. Anyway, there's no x64 package on the page you linked.

    Hope this helps

  • Hi Gianluca,

    Thank you very much for your reply. I really appreciate your help.

  • Not sure if you even need the DTS "compatibility" package unless you wish to re-design a DTS package. Of course you'll need to (if only to change the datasource!).

    Once exported from MSSQL2000 and Imported into MSSQL2005, I create a stored proc to run it, using this command :

    PRINT '----------- JOB STARTING: ' + ' ----------- @ ' + convert(varchar(19), getdate(),120)

    BEGIN TRY

    exec master..xp_cmdshell 'dtsrun /SMyServerName /NMyDTSPkg /E'

    PRINT '----------- FINISHED 1.1: MyDTSPkg : ' + ' ----------- @ ' + convert(varchar(19), getdate(),120)

    END TRY

    BEGIN CATCH

    --Note: TRY-CATCH block attempting to bubble up the error does not seem to work... yet. Control is not transferred to this block.

    END CATCH
