asked on

set up schedule for legacy DTS created in SQL2005 but running on a SQL2000 server

Hi

I've got an issue with a DTS that has been edited in SQL Server Mgt Studio 9 (2005) where I can no longer set up a job either in SQL 2005 or SQL 2000

The option to set up a job in 2005 is not there (guess it would now be SSIS?) but I thought I should still be able to revert to the SQL 2000 database where the DTS and tables actually reside to schedue the job

If I open SQL Server Enterprise Manager and right click on the DTS there to create a job I just get a box pop up : Package Error : Unspecified Error

Any ideas or tips would be great as I dont want to manually run the DTS each day!

Thanks
Neil

thanks for this, I had already done these 3 before and they allowed me to open, edit and run the DTS manually

-Install SQL Server Management Studio 2005
-Install the appropriate SQLServer2005_BC*.msi from here
-Install SQLServer2005_DTS.msi (same location)

I also copied the dlls as I had not done that but its made no difference unfortunately.
do you have "stardds.dll"?
where should i look for that please ?
as I posted: maybe you'll have to copy stardds.dll to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn
That is already there

Even using dtexecui from the command line I get this after selecting the DTS

Sorry, I don't know this error. Do you have Problems with only one dts?
yes, although it works fine if you run it manually from the DTS designer itself, you simply just cant schedule it.
