Hi,

I had to disable and enable an step of a DTS package in SQL Server 2005 several times in order to execute the DTS and verify the notification is working.

The task was a “rebuild index task” that some tables were selected to be reindexed.

The other night the job failed and I discovered there is no table selection in the Rebuild index task while it was already there.

I was told that my disabling/enablings has caused the step loses its content. Is this true?

Thanks!

Please don't send mail to directly to members just to ask the same question you posted. If we have time to answer questions then we saw your post. I saw it but had no experience with this particular problem so I didn't respond.

>>I was told that my disabling/enablings has caused the step loses its content. Is this true?
that question seems like an easy enough thing to verify with a quick test though. What were your findings?

Hopefully he didn't go through the entire first page of members because there's a lot of people between you and me :)

Well, I didn't think any of you get an alarm about the posts on "SSIS and Import/Export (2005)". That's why sent out private emails.

Both of you didn't help anyway... :)

We don't get alarms on any of the forums. We just look at active topics and reply to those where we can help. So if we didn't reply, it's because we didn't have anything to add.

I got an email too and I am not on the first page.
But I am sorry because I have no answer to that question.
I am going to avoid that SSIS-stuff whenever it is possible - I don't like it very much...

I sent the email to about 8 - 10 member whom their last logon on the forum was DEC 11th.

I wished to get your answers in my email instead of my post because now, the number of replies to my post is not Zero anymore and therefore less people may look at it and perhaps have an "answer" to my question. :(

Like webfred I'm not much of a SSIS guy. But as I mentioned in my original post, this seems like a very simple thing to verify yourself. Have you tried to set up a "rebuild index task" then do nothing by disable-enable it and see if you loose your table selection?

btw, anyone respond to your direct emails? That is another problem with the email approach, current and future forum readers don't get the benefit of the responses.

The only answer I had through email was that this could be a big bug in SQL Server if what I was told is true.

BTW, I have SQL Server version 9.0.4035.

You should be at a minimum build of 4262. 4035 is the base sp3 without any CUs installed.
