Author Source of DTS-packages
Zekske

2005-10-27, 7:57 am

One of our former DBA's made some jobs with DTS-packages but I can't find the
source for the packages.
When I open the jobs I see DTS Run /~Z and a bunch of numbers and letters.
But where can I find the actual source of the DTS-packages so I can edit them?

In Data Transformation Services/Local Packages (if you have permissions)

Nope, can't see them while I'm using the sa account.
When I look in msdb.sysdtspackages I see the packages but also there is no
sourcecode.
and I don't know wich ID to use to find the source in sycomments.

Double click the job to open the properties. In the Description field you
will see the package name.
Then go to Data Transformation Services/Local Packages and double click on
the package to see the contents.

That's my problem, I can't see any packages in the Local Packages. So I need
to know where the DTS commands are kept in the SQL-database itself.

Hello Zekske,

The packages are stored in the packagedata column in msdd.dbo.sysdtspackages.
There are a number of ways you can retrieve them

Execution
(http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?104)

Can you see them from any other PC?

Nope can't see them from another PC.

When I look at the packagedata column I see the binary data but I can't see
what the package actually does.
It seems like the link between the local packages and the msdb table is
gone...

Hello Zekske,


Strange that you cannot see these packages on this server even from a different
PC. As a temprary fix you can write a piece of code that uses the object
model and grabs the package from the SQL Server and "Save As" a structured
Storage file. You should then be able to open these up in EM.

Have they ever been visible?
