    Hi everyone

    We are migrating the databases from 2000 to 2005. what we are
    doing is ......... just migrating the databases. but not the DTS
    packages. we are saving the DTS packages as .dts on the
    application server. and we are trying to execute these .dts
    files using dtsrun. we place this dtsrun command in a batch file
    and schedule them using windows scheduled task.

    what my doubt is as these DTS packages upload some data on to the
    databases which are in sql 2005........ do we need to use the
    dtexec o0r dtsrun will do.

    thank you in advance

    You can't run the dts packages without installing DTS add-ins or migrating these dts packages to SSIS packages....
    dtexec used to execute SSIS packages where as dtsrun used to execute dts packages...

    IMHO & exp. its better to rewrite the logic with SSIS rather than spending time to migrate the DTS packages, if you have very few then its fine otherwise you might be wasting lot of time.

    thanks guys. I started rewriting the packages in SSIS. This is much easier than wasting time to migrate.

    thank u again for the help
