Running DTS on 64 Bit SQL Server

  • Thank you very much everyone for your reply.  They are really very helpful. 

    Our SQL Server is 64-bit SQL Server 2000.  What I am getting from this thread is that DTS packages cannot be migrated to a 64-bit server but we can migrate our DTS packages to a 34-bit server and run it connecting to the 64-bit server.  Is this correct? 

  • This is the 64-bit edition of SQL Server, which runs on 64-bit hardware.  Both SQL2000 and SQL2005 have 64-bit editions

    DTS does not work on 64-bit SQL2000 because Microsoft never ported to that environment.

    DTS does not work on 64-bit SQL2005 because DTS is replaced by Integration Services (SSIS) in SQL2005.  SSIS works fine on 64-bit SQL2005.

  • There's an article on porting DTS to SSIS today but it doesn't say anything about the environment.

    Should we assume that you cannot port DTS to SSIS on the 64-bit platform?

  • My understanding is that once you have migrated your DTS to SSIS, it can run on SQL2005 in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode.

  • But it looks like you have to have a 32-bit server to do the migration first, then you can move the SSIS package over to the 64-bit server.
