Executing DTS package from SP

  • I have a developer that is trying to execute a DTS package through a stored procedure that is erroring out on executing sp_OACreate. Is there any problem with granting him execute permission on that procedure? Here is the error:

    This is the stored proc with parameters exect I am running it through Coldfusion code.

    exec spExecuteDTS 'GAWIN-SQLE-S01\DW', 'Revenue Share New Customer Upload Development', 'nat1rwc05'

    And this is the error I am getting.

    Server: Msg 229, Level 14, State 5, Procedure sp_OACreate, Line 19

    EXECUTE permission denied on object 'sp_OACreate', database 'master', owner 'dbo'.

  • sp_OAcreate can only be executed by sysadmins.

  • Why don't you try DTSRUN.......


    Andy.

  • Unfortunately, that too requires sysadmin rights to run because you have to do it through xp_cmdshell, unless you set up a proxy account...

  • You can set up a proxy account for SQL Server Agent, try the links below for how.  I know it works I have helped a lot of developers with it.  If you have more question post again.  Hope this helps.
