Best solution in this case would probably be to strip out the collection set definitions and roll them into your own SSIS/DTS packages, but this really negates a big selling point of the MDW/data collection for me, that being its centralized, integrated architecture.Thu, 02 Dec 2010 12:02:28 GMTSean Bowdenhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1026994-2848-1.aspxGood article.Would really like to know how to incorporate SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 into the Management Data Warehouse. Think MS slipped up not allowing that. Sure you can't capture everything that is available on SQL Server 2008, but diskspace on SQL 2000 is just the same as disk space on SQL 2008.Mon, 29 Nov 2010 21:40:33 GMTphilcarthttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1026994-2848-1.aspxThanks for the article.Mon, 29 Nov 2010 15:26:49 GMTSQLRNNRhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1026994-2848-1.aspxComments posted to this topic are about the item [B]<A HREF="/articles/Management+Data+Warehouse/71491/">Analyzing Product Growth with the Management Data Warehouse</A>[/B]Sat, 27 Nov 2010 12:07:11 GMTSean Bowden
