Multiple users working on (owning) a DTS

  • Hi all

    I have a DTS package that was created by user XYZ (ie. saved to SQL*Server

    under this sqlserver login). I have another user ABC that needs to alter

    this package and therefore save off another version. Unfortunatly for me

    SQLServer tells me that only the owner can do this or a member of sysadmin

    group.

    How can I share out the package to allow XYZ and ABC users to work on

    the same DTS package???

    Cheers

    Chris

  • Never tried this. I do all the DTS work. I'll take a look.

    One thing off the top of my head is to save as a COM file and allow someone else to modify it. They save it back to COM and let the original person reopen it. Kludgy, but would work.

  • The DTS package can be modified by the owner only, you cant share it. Steves solution will also do.

  • Hi guys

    Another option (will try today), is to save as a VB package and allow users to alter via VB, its messy though.

    In the end its fair enough based on SQLServers DTS data model. They have a "owner" col assoc with the package itself. A better plan was to allow some sort of role type security access to DTS's.

    Cheers

  • VB is fine, but then you can't bring it back to the designer. This is fine if your people know VB.
