Importinq DTS from one server to another

  • Is there a way to import a DTS package from one SQL Server to another SQL Server?

  • If it's just 1 package, open it up on 1 server and "Save As ..." on the other server.

    If it's multiple packages, get the DTSBackup2000 tool:

  • Or you can save the package as a .dts file and then open this on the new server.

  • Don't bother messing around with vb files or dmo. Use this:

    See this article that helped me do such a thing. I now have an asp page that calls the dts copy package by selecting packages from one server into a list box. I then highlight the ones I want and copy across to another server.

    The Users are always right - when I'm not wrong!

  • If you're not worried about losing your history, simply bcp out the contents of the msdb..sysdtspackages table to a file and import or use a dts transformation to move the contents from one server to another.

    What I mean by history, is that you'll only get the latest version of your dts package. I've personally never had a need for old versions when moving, but you might.
