Saving DTS Packages and Possible error

  • Hi there,

    hope someone can shed some light on the following:

    I am in the process of moving DTS packages from one server to another. I first save the packages as structured files - I saved them to my desktop. Then I opened them on the destination server and saved them to sql server ......

    The description of the DTS Packages on the Destination and Source Servers read "Please wait while exported nett pay data is imported into Connect". The Description has not changed since Friday.

    What is wrong ? Is there anything wrong ?

    Thanks in advance

  • I didn't see that problem before. Try to use this great tool to transfer you pkg and check if you have the same error.

  • you can use sqldmo to do this really easily. something similar to

    with createobject("dts.package")

    .loadfromsqlserver server,package

    .savetoserver server, package

    end with

    the syntax on that isn't correct, but you can get the details from msdn online and it's pretty much that simple.

  • thank you all so much - I will probably have to go with the sqldmo - as the server environment I work on is pretty much 'locked down' meaning that any kind of software not approved by the powers that be is a no go ...

    I am checking the tools out though and they seem pretty cool - being new to the SQL environment I wasn't aware that there are a host of third party tools that can be used with SQLServer

     

    Thanks
