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..??
I 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.
Thanks
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!!

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 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

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 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

Hi guys,
I have a performance related question about the DTS package in sqlserver 2000 which i have developed
We have developed a DTS package which will migrate a view 'ATTRITION' from Sqlserver 2000 to an Oracle database.The design of the package is as follows
First step: It checks for the existance of the table 'ATTRITION' in oracle database, if table 'ATTRITION' is not there it will create a table called 'ATTRITION' in the oracle db.If the table 'ATTRITION' is already present in the oracle db,then the table is truncated.
Second step: The view 'ATTRITION' is migrated to Oracle table 'ATTRITION'.
For the migration, i have used a connection object which connects to sqlserver 2000 and for oracle connection i have used another connection object 'Microsoft ODBC driver for oracle' and i have joined both the connection objects with 'Transform data task' task which maps one to one from sqlserver 2000 where view 'ATTRITION' exists with oracle database where Table 'ATTRITION' exists.
Roughly i have around 65000 rows in 'ATTRITION' view of sqlserver 2000 which needs to be migrated.When im running the package on my system it takes around 4 minutes to migrate all the rows but when im running it on the server it takes a lot lot of time more than 1 hour.
The view definition im using has more than 10 tables joined together.But if its a problem of query used in the view,and if i run the view seperately it quickly displays the data hardly takes 1 minute. and even if i run the package on my local pc it doenst take much time.Now my confusion is why its taking soo much time on server.If i create a indexed view then will it solve my problem.Please suggest...
Thanks in advance

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

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

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?

View 6 Replies View Relatedif 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,

I am unable to acces Oracle from legacy DTS designer, here is what I have done,
1. I have kept my old DTS packages in SQL2K5 legacy DTS container
2. Now I am unable to access oracle; it gives provider error
3. I am able to connect oracle from SQLPLUS
How can I troubleshoot this problem?

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?

From MS SQL Server Management Studio 2005, I register and connect to MS SQL 2000 (SP4) running on another server. I can see the list of 2000 DTS packages on the other server, but when I try to open them I first get:
Error Source : Microsoft Data Transfformation Services (DTS) Package
Error Description : The DTS host failed to load or save the package properly.
I click the OK button and get:
The selected package cannot be opened. The DTS Desiger has been closed.
I click this OK button and get to now famous:
SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer components are required to edit DTS packages. Install the special Web download, "SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components" to use this feature. (Microsoft.SqlServer.DtsObjectExplorerUI)
I have already been to the Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - November 2005 page and installed the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components and the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components.
Now, the DTS Designer does not close. It stays open. I can see inside the package, but all I see are the transformation lines and the precedence lines. The icons are invisable. If I click on the invisable icons, at the end of the lines, an icon appears. This is not a normal icon. It looks like little windows with a blue border and title bar. Nothing I've seen before. Oh it gets better. If I now double-click the icons, the properties window appear as normal. Looks good... I don't need to change anything. I then press the OK button and get the Task references, like I modified the connection. I do not clear the trasformation. I just click the OK and like magic the connection icon looks at it should. This works on everthing I've tried, except for Execute SQL Task icons. I can save it, but not as the save name. I can open the new saved package. It look and works fine.
So whats up?
I am looking for a way to execute an SSIS package as the next step in the SQL 2000 Agent, with the first step being replication. Can I reference dtexec.exe on the SSIS box to execute the package located in the file system?

Has anyone been able to run a DTS package from DOS. When I execute the dtsrun command it fires the process off in another Dos session and quickly closes. I know that SQL 7.0 worked ok. When it runs from dos it tell you when each step runs successfully or fails. I am Running Windows 2000 Server SP2 and SQL 2000 SP1. So the question is, is there any way to run the dtsrun utility from dos so you can see what is going on?
Any help would be appreicated!

Hi All,
My name is kanishk. I am facing some issue in calling the DTS package from Visual Basic code.
The brief history of issue is :
We have a application which uses Ms-Access as front end and MS-Sql server 2000 as backend. Perviously we has MS-Access 97 version and MS-Sql 2000 .In this comination the DTS package was working fine.
Now We have changes the fornt end to MS-Access 2002. Here the DTS package is not working .
Can you please help me out to get the proper syntax to call the DTS package from VB code.
I need to automate the following function. I know I can do this in .NET but I need to have a DTS package setup so it executes every evening.
I have a view that produces a list of sales errors. I want to grab the SaleID from each record and insert a record into a "Current Queue" table.
Here is another example of what I'm trying to do...
SELECT SaleID FROM vw_SalesErrors
- with the results of the SQL statement above
INSERT INTO tbl_QueueRecords
(SaleID, QueueID)
VALUES
(@SaleID, 14)
I'm assuming there is a way to automate this into a single stored procedure or at least a DTS pacakge.
Thanks for all of your help.
I've tried several different possibilities but don't have enough basicunderstanding of the ownerships and permissions that are involved soI'm looking for someone to explain what is required:I created a DTS package that includes a drop table, create table, anddata transformation task. Originally, my owner was local to the pcworkstation with administrator priveleges. When I executed thepackage on demand (manually, not scheduled), it runs just fine. Noerrors. When I schedule the package to run at a scheduled day/time,it fails with an access is denied message.I originally was using the sql admin user and password in theconnection but the view job history kept referencing "Executed asuser: sqlservernameSYSTEM...." and errored with an access is deniedmessage. Where did it get the SYSTEM user from since my connectionused the sql admin user in my DTS package? Do I need to determine howto get the sql admin user or should the SYSTEM user really have to runthis scheduled job? How do I get the sql admin user to show as the"executed as user"?I created another admin user to see if it had someone to do with thesql admin account but I got similar results. I tried creating thepackage as an NT domain user but got similar results.I'm sure it has something to do with permissions and ownerships but Ireally don't have a clear understanding of how it was intended towork.Any advise you can give is greatly appreciated. I've read alot ofpostings and I'm still not clear on the requirements.
