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

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

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
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

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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a legacy DTS package on my test SQL Server 2005 in the ManagementLegacyData Transformation Services folder. I can run the package, but how can I schedule it?? this doesn't appear to be an option anymore like it was in 2000.

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
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 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?
View 3 Replies View Related 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?
Hi,
I am not able to delete the Legacy maintenance plans created:
for example I created a maintenance plan: "MyPlan" with:
master.dbo.xp_sqlmaint
and the plan created at:
ManagementLegacyDatabase Maintenance PlansMyPlan
After this I tryed to delete this using SQL Server Management Studio, it is
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..,
There r plenty of duplicate rows in the legacy system(Unix /Cobol) from which the data has to be migrated to SQL Server 7.0 Using DTS.Could u please help me in finding out all the repeating rows so that my people could go through it manually and make it unique rows. I expect a query that can be executed to select the repeating rows in a staging/temp table that contain all the rows from legacy system. If u could sujest any other alternative u r most welcome...

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

Hi All,
One of my user was able create DTS package using DTS Wizard, working from his workstation and saved this DTS in Legacy(in Data Transaformation services) on different SQL 2005 EE SP 2(9.0.3042) production server..
At same time he has no access to msdb on this SQL 2005 server(he also not sysadmin for this server).. How this could happen..??
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've run into a problem with SSIS packages wherein tasks that write or copy files, or create or delete directories, quit execution without any hint of an error nor a failure message, when called from an ASP.NET 2.0 application running on any other machine than the one where the package was created from. By all indications it appeared to be an identity/permissions problem.
Our application involves a separate web server and database server. Both have SQL Server 2005 installed, but the application server originally only had Integration services. The packages are file system-deployed on the application server, and are called using Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime methods. For all packages that involve file system tasks, the above problem occurs.
When the above packages are run using the command prompt (either DTEXEC or DTEXECUI) the packages execute just fine. This is expected since we are using an administrative account. However when a ShellExecute of the same command is called from ASP.NET, the same problem occurs.
I've tried giving administrative permissions to the ASPNET worker process user to no avail.
I have likewise attempted to use the SQL Server Agent job approach but that approach might not be acceptable for our clients since it means installing SQL Server 2005 Database services on the application server.
I have read the relevant threads in this forum, namely http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1044739&SiteID=1 and http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=927084&SiteID=1 but failed to find any solution appropriate for our set up.
Anybody got any idea on how to go about this?
We manage some SSIS servers, which has only SSIS and SSIS tools installed on them and not the sql server DB.
SSIS packages and configuration files are deployed on a NAS. We run the SSIS packages through DTEXEC by logging in to the server.
We want to allow developers to run their packages on their own on the server, but at the same time we dont want to give them physical access on the server i.e we do not want to add them into RDP users list on server properties. We want them to allow running their packages remotely on the server.
One way We could think of is by using powershell remoting and we are working on that. But is there any other way or any tool already present for the same.
Hi all
Our data management system currently runs DTS packages using DTSPKG.dll.
I am currently looking at the possibliity of replacing the DTS packages and SQL 2000 with DTSX packages using SSIS in SQL 2005.
Do I need a new dll? or will the current dtspkg.dll handle the new DTSX packages?
Many thanks in advance!
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)
We are migrating data from old DB2 systems to sql server 2012, the DATE FORMAT in those systems is in decimal format with 7 digits. CYYMMDD format.
I need to convert this into DD/MM/YYYY format.
Can you use multiple tables in a DTS job?
I copy a large data table from one database to another every night, but I only want to copy the data since the last time the DTS job ran. I am going to create new job that writes the date of the update to a date table.
I then want the DTS job to compare the invoice date from the datawarehouse table to the last date in the Date table, and only write the data with a newer date.
I know the script if the values were in the same table - but how do I use two different tables?
Is there a query or sp I can run to get me all package names on a server?

What is DTS guid?
I am actually told to move the DTS package from PreProd environment(Server A) to Production (Server B). Once the DTS packages are migrated then I have to email the DTS guid. I am not sure what I should write in the email. LOL
Urgent help is required. Thanks
