Running a scheduled DTS package

  • Hi there.

    I have set up a DTS package as a scheduled job. The problem is that it returns an error when executes and does not perform the job.

    The package is located on a SQL Server on my webhotel (which I access across the Internet from the Data Scource machine). I have used a UserDNS which was created on the Database Source machine. The Data Source machine has access to the Internet via a LAN connection through a server with fixed IP address.

    It would seem the package is not able to connect to the local server and locate the Data Source on the client machine.

    What am I doing wrong, any ideas?

  • You need a system datasource. The SQL package runs under the SQLAgent account, which will not see your user DSN.
