JOB Failed to run VB app using DTS

  • Hi folks

    I'm facing a strange problem. I've made an application that runs fine when run independently. But when I schedule that to run as a job in sql server it fails.

    Some detail about the environment:

    1. SQL Server 7.0 (installed as a local system a/c, mixed mode security)

    2. DTS packages (security: NT authentication)

    The user running the job is in NT admin group and also belong to SysAdmin group in DB

    thanks!

  • What account does SQL Server Agent run under and what does the package do (ex. Retrieves data from remote share on AS400, imports to staging table, cleans the data, moves to final table, turncates staging table.)?

  • I've checked SQL Server agent was running under system account and MSSQL Server was also running under the same a/c.

    I 've tried to change it to NT user (the same user) for MSSQLServer and Agent but it also doesnt work.

    Would you suggest what policy one should adopt in this case, I mean authentication of DTS pkgs, SQL server installation etc.

    Thanks

  • Problem is solved.

    Solution: Very simple, I remove the SQL Server and install it again with the NT user as a owner of it.

    Thanks
