DTS Legacy And SQL 2005
May 30, 2006
I am in the process of migrating to a new SQL 2005 server. I have a number of DTS packages on my SQL2000 server, approximately 200, that are used on a daily basis. I used the migration wizard to migrate the packages from the 2000 server to the new 2005 server however there are issues with the way some were brought over. I would like to have all of the packages moved from the 2000 to the 2005 server and appear under Legacy DTS so that I can run them as 2000 DTS packages unitl I have a chance to correct the issues.
Here is where my question lies. The migration wizard migrates upgrades all of the packages. How do I move them from the one server to the other and perserve their 2000 DTS format? The servers are on 2 separate boxes with different instance names. Everything I've read tells you how to run the legacy packages but nothing seems to explain on to move them.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Guys
There are a few dts packages in our sql server 2000 database which we schedule daily for at night for business purposes.
how can i schedule the same DTS packages in Legacy SQL 2000 DTS when we migrate the Databases across to Sql 2005.
Can that be done or we need to migrate the DTS Package to SSIS

My packages are migrated over our new 2005 server. How do I schedule/run them? BOL seems to suggest that we replace the dtsrun commands with the dtexec one. Am I on the right track?

Hi Experts
I am trying to schedule a legacy DTS 2000 package in 64 bit Sql Server 2005.
I cannot use the DTSRun tool on the Command prompt of the Sql 2005. What about dtexec ?Can i run Sql Server 2000 DTS packages from the Command Prompt.
Is DTS 2000 the only way to do that?
Any Advise is greatly appreciated
Vic.

We have a SQL server with many legacy DTS packages. sa and Admins can open them and change them then save them but we need to allow the DTS people (Developers) the rights to save the package after they have opened it and modified it.
Thanks

Hi,
I have imported 3 DTS from SQL 2000 to the SQL 2005 server. The wizard went fine, everything is ok. When I close the wizard window, I cannot see any of them. If I reimport it, it asks confirmation to override it. Where are the 3 DTS in the management Studio if they are not under Legacy DTS?
Thanks

How can I scheudule a legacy DTS 2000 package if it stored in SQL Server itself?
I assume the package 'lives' in the msdb database.
For what bizarre reason is there no option to schedule legacy packages anyway, why provide the DTS legacy/designer components if the ability to schedule them isn't possible?
Is this microsoft's subtle way of telling me that I should convert them to SSIS packages ...I just don't have the time to do that...help
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I am trying to migrate DTS packages from sql2000 To SQL2005 server. I am running the migration wizard from Data Transformation services under the ManagementLegacy Node on SQL 2005 server. I get to choose the packages to be migrated, but each of the selected pkg ends with a progress of "STOPPED" in the wizard and the outcome of the wizard shows as Successfull with a chaek mark on Top Left corner.
But No packageg appear under the location reff. above. I like to know if anoyone has a solution for this issue.
Thanks

I have changed a legacy dts 2000 package. It resides on a sql 2005 server. How do I schedule it? That option doesn't look like it is available for legacy 2000 dts packages.

Hi,
I am converting several DTS pkgs to SSIS. Several of the pkgs contain complicated "Active X script" transformations on text files. That is, it would take me a long time to have to re-write this!
In the meanwhile, do you think it's just best to use the EXECUTE DTS 2000 task until I have a better grip on SSIS??
Also, what is the equivalent of "Active X script" validation in SSIS?
For example, I have an Active X script that checks the values of a particular column in a text file. If the column contains a datefield, then load into the database, if not, then discard... what task in SSIS would replace this logic? (not now, but for later reference)
Thanks so much

I am trying to import a legacy dBase III file (.dbf format) into SQL server. The file contains timestamp fields which, as implemented in the dBase data file format, are actually eight-byte character strings. I am using this command:
SELECT * INTO LegacyData FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL','Driver={Microsoft dBase Driver (*.dbf)};DBQ=D:Files','SELECT * FROM data.dbf')
The command fails with this error:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 8, Line 1
Error converting data type DBTYPE_DBTIMESTAMP to datetime.
This is happening because some of the datetime fields contain strings that can't be parsed by SQL as valid dates and times. The legacy application which created the data file apparently indicated a missing timestamp by storing "- - " as the character string.
If I change the select statement to say "select top 2 *" to only import the first two records (neither of which happen to have any invalid datetime values), the records are imported successfully. What I would like to do is to import all records and either skip those records that have a bad datetime value or, better yet, import all records converting invalid dates to null values.
I tried changing the select statement to include various types of casts but it seems that because the .dbf file indicates that the data field is of time timestamp, SQL will always try to read it as a datetime field regardless of how the select statement is written. I don't currently have any way of modifying the dBase III file or I would attempt to search for and remove the offending records.
Does anyone know of a workaround for such a situation? Is there a way I can import the data using SQL server or will I need to find a dabasebase conversion utility that can handle unparseable date strings?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

My manager wants me to produce a legacy dts-style display of an executing package in an asp.net grid view. It would be color-coded the same way: red, green, black showing the status of each step with start and finish time. Any ideas on how to do this?

Hi,
We are in the process of converting legacy DTS packages to SSIS. we have some script like this :
If trim(DTSSource(col1)) = "" then
DTSDestination(DestCol) = null
DTSDestination(errorcode) = "1"
else
DTSDestination(DestCol) = trim(DTSDestination(DestCol))
I am re-writing like this:
trim(Row.col1) = "" then
Row.DestCol_isnull = true
Row.errorcode = "1"
else
Row.col1 = trim(Row.col1)
But, this is not writing NULL to the column, writing just nothing to the column. I want to see NULL in my columns. How do I achive this using script ?
Thank for the help!!

if we see provider=sqloledb in the connection string of a legacy sql server 2000/2005 system we're trying to understand better, can we conclude that ODBC is definitely not in the client picture, that possibly OLEDB is and that SQL Native isnt? Can we conclude for sure what middleware must be in use?
My limited understanding of this "middleware" space is that ODBC is old and restrictive, OLEDB is a lot more state of the art and general, and that SQL Native is more proprietary than OLEDB.
Even if we can conclude what middleware must be in use, is it generally as simple as changing a connection string and ensuring installation of the preferred middleware in upgrading to better performing middleware?

deleted (right click on the plan and select delete menu item)
But when I refresh the server, the "MyPlan" is back again.
Any idea how to delete Legacy Maintenance plans?
Thanks,

Hi all,
the SQL Management Studio keeps crashing out on me everytime i try to open a Lookup in one of my DTS packages i am using in the Legacy section.
I am copying the DTS package across and need to change the server connections (which i do), but then i was getting a permissions based error when the package ran when it tries to access the Lookup.
I tried to open the Lookup and the SQL Management Studio hanged when it tried to display the details for the lookup. It's done this many times and i have tried different files incase one was corrupted to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas of what i can try?
Thanks

We have a large table which is very old and not much ppl take care about, recently there is a performance problem from the report need to query to this table. Eventally we find that this table have primary key missing and there is duplicate data which make "alter table add primary key" don't work
Besides the data size of this table require unacceptable time to execute something like "insert into new_table_with_pk from select distinct * from old table"
Do you have any recommendation of fixing this? As the application run on oracle , sybase and sql server, is that cross database approace will work?

I am working with a legacy SQL server database from SQL Server 2000. I noticed that in some places that they use decimal data types, that I would normally think they should be using integer data types. Why is this does anyone know?
Example: AutomobileTypeId (PK, decimal(10,0), not null)

When I installed VS 2005, it installed the default version of SQL Server 2005 Express that ships with Visual Studio 2005 installer media.
How can apply SQL Server 2005 Express SP1 to update this existing instance?
Currently, if I run this query:
SELECT @@version
I get the following:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.1399.06 (Intel X86) Oct 14 2005 00:33:37 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 Microsoft Corporation Express Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 2)
After applying SP1, I should get 9.00.2047.00.
Should I just go to this link and download & install the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/
Thank you,

I am trying to import Access reports using Visual Studio 2005 and Access 2007. SQL Server 2005 with Reporting Services is also installed. I select Reports in the Solution Explorer and then Import Reports... Microsoft Access and browse to my Access database. After I select the database I see it open briefly as if it is trying to import the reports but then Access quickly closes and a error pops up: "You already have the database open." I have checked and double checked and the database is not open. I have even tried several different databases and the same errror occurs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We have a large number of clients attempting to replicate two publications on 2005 Express databases (2 publications subscribed to the one subscriber database) with our 2005 Server (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Standard Edition) and experiencing two significant problems:
1) Users experience the following message:
The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Subscriber for changes not yet sent to the Publisher. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload).
This problem should not apparently occur with SQL Server 2005 (or 2005 Express) instances with SP2 applied. All clients experiencing this problem have SP2 installed as does our Server and the retention period is 30 days. The subscribers have been replicating well under that.
2) Replications never succeed after appearing to replicate/loop around for hours
This issue is the most critical as we have clients who have been installed and re-installed with new instances of SQL Server 2005 Express, new empty databases (on subscriber before snapshot extraction), and using fresh snapshots (less than an few hours old) which cannot successfully replicate.
Interestingly there is at least 1 instance where several computers are subscribed and successfully replicating the same database as another where replication refuses to succeed.
To test we have taken a republished database from another 2005 Server which is working fine and restored it to the same server as the one holding the database with which we are experiencing problems and subscribed to it. This test worked fine and replication of both publications went through fast and repeatedly without showing any signs of problem.
This indicates that the problem is perhaps data related as it appears localised to that database.
Below are two screenshots which may assist.
Screenshot 1 Shows that on the server side the replication attempts look like they are succeeding despite the fact that the subscriber end does not indicate success. Also the history indicates the the subscription has spent all it's time initialising and not merging any changes.
Screenshot 2 Shows a rogue process which has appears on many of the problem child subscribers. It shows a process running with no end time even though the job indicates failure in the message and even though other replication attempts appear to have succeeded after it. This process stays in the history showing that it is running even when I can find no corresponding process for it.
Can anyone suggest a further course of action/further testing/further information required which may assist?
This is extremely urgent and any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Scott

Hi,
Is there any way to measure bandwith usage during merge replication between sql server 2005 and sql server mobile 2005 running on a cradled wm5 mobile device.
Attaching the windows performance monitor to the network connection established over usb would work although I was wondering if there was something specific for this case integrated into Sql server 2005 / sql server mobile 2005 / Sql server management studio / third party tools that i could use ?
thnx,
pdns.

repl.PublisherSecurityMode = SecurityType.NTAuthentication;

Does anybody knows what i can do?

I am update/inserting records threw a web form in vb.net. I need to insert 'NULL' into my microsoft sql server database. I am not talking about the below line of code where website is the name of my paramater. If i do that it will just place a blank into that field in the database. If i dont enter anything into that textbox I want it to to say NULL in that field. So if I go into the actual table in the SQL Server Management Studio and look at the website field of the recored I just added or updated and did not type anything into the web site textbox it needs to say NULL. I also tried the second line of code but that places a single quote in front and behind NULL. So the field will have the value 'NULL'.
website.value = txtwebsite.text.tostirng
if txtwebsite.text ="" then
website.value ="NULL"
end if
The reason why I need the NULL there is because I bind the website filed to a hyperlink template in a gridview. The actual text of the hyperlink is bound to PAYER which is a name of a insurance payer but the navigateto is bound to the website field. If i do not enter any data into the website field and it stays as NULL, then when my gridview is loaded, payers that dont have a website will not be underlined and user wont have the option to click on them since there is no value for the navigateto. But if i use my form to update/add a payer and leave the website textbox blank in puts a blank into that field in my database and when it loads that new row into the gridview the PAYER is underlined and u can click on it but it will just take u to the web site is unavailable page. So is there anyway to actaull have NULL placed into a filed and not just blank space
