Urgent: dts packages

  • I have 100+ packages running in SQL2000 server and this packages are developed by someone else. Now I want to quickly retrieve information on which packages run on a certain database and a certain table. Just wonder if the packagedata field in sysdtspackages contain these information. But I realize this field is not readable. How can I view it? If it doesn't contain information I need, how can I retrieve these information quick instead of going to check manually one by one? Please adivse me. Thanks.

  • Please help. Thank you very much.

  • A little bit of manual intervention will be required, but the search will be automated. Here's how:

    1. Open the DTS package in the DTS Designer

    2. Save the package as a Visual Basic file (*.vbs) - it is one of the options along with storing the package on the server, as a file (*.dts) and so on

    3. Once you have done this for all the packages available, search the *.vbs files for the information you need

    *.vbs files can be opened via NOTEPAD (or any other text editor), which I believe will make things a bit easier for you.

  • This script claims to be able to script out all packages in a SQL instance so they can be searched.

  • Had a quick look at the script - it is a VB script that does pretty much the same thing - iterate through and export all available DTS packages as text files - which can then be searched for.

    What tool should I use to run this script? Thanks.

    Nothing new :-). The *.vbs files are to be created via NOTEPAD, and simply double-clicking the file should be sufficient to run them.
