  • I get the following error message when a DTS Package is executed from jobs. Well the user

    CACI\svcPM2SQL is not part of admin group on the sql server machine. however it is a sysadmin with sql server. any idea what could be going on here?

  • I would guess that, since the task starts but appears to abort in the middle, the process is either running out of disk space resource somewhere or being interrupted by another process.

  • There is ample disk space available.

  • You'll get more information from the DTS package log.  If you haven't enabled logging in the packages, do so and start the job again.

  • well not having luck with logging dts package. even though i enable it per following link http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/howtosql/ht_dts_pkgmng_6vqr.asp  . however per this link I should do the following

    On the Package menu, click Save As, and then in the Save DTS Package dialog box, in the Location list, select Meta Data Services.

    and I dont see Meta Data Services option when I save the package. Its not in the drop down.

     

    error in package job history is following:

    Executed as user: CACI\svcPM2SQL. DTSRun:  Loading...   DTSRun:  Executing...      Error:  -2147220383 (80040461); Provider Error:  0 (0)      Error string:  This DTSPackage has not been saved to the Repository, so Lineage cannot be written to the Repository.      Error source:  Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package      Help file:  sqldts80.hlp      Help context:  700.  Process Exit Code 1.  The step failed.

  • Apparently, the package hadn't been saved to the repository prior to adding logging.  So, if you want to log to the repository, you must save the package to Meta Data Services first.

    I always save packages and package logs to SQL Server.  I have no need for the lineage information and I like to use owner passwords on packages, which isn't allowed for packages saved in the repository.  I've also read that packages executed from the repository run slower.

  • Additionally, Meta Data Services repository was removed as a storage option for DTS packages by SQL 2000 SP3.  You'd be better off storing them in msdb's tables or as com files.
