Transfering DTS Package.

  • I have a DTS packeages created on on SQL SERVER and I will like to transfer or move them to new server. How can I accomplish this tasks?

  • You can use the utility DTSBakcup 2000 (http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?t=6&s=105&i=242&p=1&a=0).

  • Thank you.

  • You can write a simple WSH script (.VBS, .JS) using DTS library to load DTS packages from SQL Server and save to StorageFiles to disk and second script to load packages from disk and save to SQL Server on target system ... see LoadFromSQLServer, LoadFromStorageFile, SaveToStorageFile and SaveToSQLServer methods

  • In enterprise manager, from the design view of the DTS package, select package->save as from the menu and change the name of the server to a different server. The DTS package will then be available on the new server.

  • you can also keep a copy of the msdb.dbo.sysdtspackages

    1. copy msdb.dbo.sysdtspackages to another table say northwind..alldtspackages

    2. copy the table across to the other server

    on the destination server

    3. if you want only the dts packages from source then

    delete from msdb..sysdtspackages

    4. insert into msdb..sysdtspackages

    select * from northwind..alldtspackages

  • You can save DTS Package as Storage Structure file. This will save DTS package on disk as a file and copy it to another SQL server and load it from there.
