SQL 7 return DTSs saved as files

  • Our msdb.sysdtspackages table became corrupt.  I wanted to restore a previously backed up version of the table until I discovered to my chagrin that we were not backing up the msdb tables.

    The good news is that there is the Mssql7\Install\Instmsdb.sql script that will re-create any msdb tables that are deleted.  The other piece of good news is that a recent tinkerer did a Save As to files of all DTS's.

    I didn't see anything in the documentation about how to load a DTS from a file.  Could someone walk me through this?

    Incidentally, there are some packages saved as local, and some as repository.  What is the difference and which is preferred?

    TIA

  • load from file: EM, right click DTS, select "open"

  • That did it.  Thank you so much.
