Move a DTS Package

  • I've created a DTS package through Enterprise Manager in SQL 2000 and would like to move this package to another system that is running SQLExpress 2005 for testing.  How can I accomplish this?

  • DTS does not exist in SQL Server Express 2005. You would have to use a higher version of SQL Server 2005 or use SQL Server 2000.

    Here is a link with more information. Read down the page to "Support for SQL Server 2000 DTS Packages in SQL Server 2005 Express Edition":

  • There is a backwards compatibility utiltiy that allows DTS packages to run via a command line utility under SQL Express

  • Export the package to a structured storage file and move the file to an accessable location to the second server.
