32 Bit SQL Server DTS Package To 64 Bit SQL Server 2005 SSIS Package

  • Hi Techies

    I have the requirement to convert DTS packages(32 bit server) to SSIS packages(64 bit Server) , I would like to know can i do it smoothly as i never did this before and it is production server so can't take any risk.

    If someone have done this before please share your experiances.

    I will appriciate your comments , suggestions to make this happen.

    Thanks in Advance

  • Make sure you compile all SSIS packages converted from DTS packages on a 64-bit machine. Do you have Oracle sources?.

  • Thanks jay

    Yes We have Oracle Environment and have DTS packages dump information into Oracle 9i . Can you tell what might be hurdles to do it.

    Regards

  • We deployed SSIS packages on a 32-bit. Our initial plan was to deploy on 64-bit from which we backed out because all the developers were developing and compiling code on personal laptops which were 32-bit and our SSIS file based deployment on 64-bit machine didn't work with oracle sources (connectivity issues). We used "microsoft OLEDB provider for ORACLE". you can also use - "oracle provider for OLE DB" but you will have to be very careful with decimal fields.
