What code are you using in the stored procedure?

When you say you are selecting it, is it on your machine that you select it?

Keep in mind that if you run Enterprise Manager and execute a DTS package, it is executing FROM YOUR MACHINE, not the server. If you schedule it or use some stored procedure to start a job or shell out for DTSRUN, then it is running from that machine, in that security context.

Hi Steve,

No, the DTS is on the server machine (i.e., machine7). I have registered the server in my client (by right clicking SQL Server Group and doing New Sql Server Registration... from the context menu) and I 'm succeeding when executing it by selecting the package and then from the context menu, doing Execute Package

OK...

Now the package seems to execute but not getting the same result that I get by executing it directly .

The stored procedure that calls the DTS is as follows;

CREATE PROCEDURE ProcessAutomation_TriggerDTS

AS

DECLARE @err int

DECLARE @cmd varchar(1000)

SET @err = 0

SET @cmd = 'dtsrun /S machine7 /E /N DTS_MeterNotification /M thePwd'

EXECUTE @err = master..xp_cmdshell @cmd

SELECT @err = COALESCE(NULLIF(@err, 0), @@ERROR)

IF @err <> 0 RETURN @err

GO

The DTS executes an ActiveX script that invokes a method of a web service and the code is as follows;

'**********************************************************************

' Visual Basic ActiveX Script

'************************************************************************

Function Main()

Dim oXmlHttp

Set oXmlHttp = CreateObject ("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0")

oXmlHttp.open "POST", "http://machine3/WebInterface/WebServices/EventService.asmx/DispatchMeterReadingsInformation", False

oXmlHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

oXmlHttp.send

Set oXmlHttp = Nothing

Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success

End Function

The method DispatchMeterReadingsInformation writes to the event log. When I execute the DTS package directly, I see event in my log. But when I execute it with the help of the Stored Procedure from the Query Analyzer, I don't find any event registered to the log and the procedure's result window displays that the execution is successful.

Please help me out of this problem
