Hotfix version and find server from DTS/SSIS

  • 1. How to find the installed version of Hotfix?

    2. Is there a way to find the Server name in the job/dts i.e., A Test environment DTS/SSIS would be pointing to Prod DB. How to identify such jobs/DTS?

  • 1. See if SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('productversion') or SELECT @@version work for you.

    2. What do mean with this question? Do you want to know on which server the job is running? Or on which server the SSIS package is running?

  • 1. 9.00.3077.00 .. i got this from the server.. so 3077 is the hotfix?

    2. I want the server against which the dts/job runs..say,

    Server-1 -- Prod

    Server-2 -- Test

    I have an DTS in Server-2, which points to Server-1 and extracts data from Prod. Is there any way to determine such DTS which runs against Prod (but from Test)?

    Thanx for the reply

  • Here's a list that describes the version numbers:

    http://www.sqlteam.com/article/sql-server-versions

    And an BOL page from MS with more info:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321185

    Regarding DTS, I can't really help you as I have no experience with the tool.

  • Thanks for the link.

    As for DTS, so you are one of those lucky guys who started with SSIS?

    The only way to tell what the data source is would be to look at the connections in the package itself. It sounds like you have a particular package in mind. Open it in DTS designer and look at the source connection.

  • Actually, i have inherited a test server which has about 100+ dts. some of them have not yet been used and maybe still pointing to prod. Hence, I need to find those dts's and delete them/point them to test.

  • Did you try searching those 100+ .dtsx files using a text editor like Textpad? (We can open .dtsx files as a text file).

  • My assumption is we can open .dtsx files (2005/2008) in text editor. Can we also open .dts (2000) files in text editor?

  • Yeah, that's true! My bad!

    Anyways could you try saving those DTS packages as Visual Basic Files? They can all be opened in VB IDEs or even text editors.
