DTS Designer Error - Specified file not found

  • Hi,

    Lately I had the following message on win2000 sp3 with sqlserver2000 sp3: "DTS Designer Error - Specified file not found" "DTS Designer Error - Fichier spécifié introuvable" in French... Then in the DTS editor the Task menu objects are missing and it is no possible to link a source and a target using Transform Data Task.

    Before it used to work fine.

    I have done the following:

    - installing again last sp: same issue again

    - reinstalling sqserver with a registry deep cleaning: same issue again

    - started disabled windows services: same issue again

    any idea? could you tell me please which are the windows services used/most used with dts/sql server in order for me to check if they are enabled or not.

    Thank you for your help

  • Hi Sébastien,

    just experienced the same problem with the german version of W2K SP4 and SQL Server 2000 SP3a.

    Not that this will help in any way, but... you're not alone 🙂

    Also hoping for help!

  • Hi Sébastien,

    yesterday I tried a clean install of MS SQL Server 2000 on a WinXP Pro machine and got the well known problem. On this machine I could solve it by taking the following action:

    - right-click "Properties" on the "Data Transformation Services"

    - activate "Cache" (first option)

    - activate "show multi phase pump task in DTS-designer" (or something like that, just did a straight translation from german to english:-) )

    Maybe this helps!

    Greetings,

  • Hi Carsten,

    Man you are a Killer! Indeed the trick works perfectly.

    1000 * thanks! 

    It seems that it could be a sp3a bugs/issue ...

    Best regards,

    Sébastien Roux

     

     

  • Hi Sébastien,

    no problem! I nearly got nuts with this bug 😉

    But I don't think that it is an sp3a issue, because I had the same problem with a plain SQL Server 2000 installation without any sp. I suspect a hotfix/fix for Win2K or WinXP
