Les writes "Can you tell me how to out the name of a DTS package that is called as part of a scheduled SQLagent job? I can see the reference to it in the sysjobsteps table, but this just gives a very long hex string starting with something like DTS~Z0xBF.

At the moment it is very hard to workout what DTS packages are bing called in a scheduled jobs

Do a better job of documentation ...

As best I can tell, then only thing you can do is work backwards and use trial and error. Schedule a dts package. Look at the job and compare the encrypted DTSRun call to what is in your job. Same? That's the package. Not the same? Try another one ...

Maybe there is a better way, I dunno.

You can also use /!Y to get the encrypted command to compare.
If you are happy for the text to be viewable then schedule the dtsrun manually giving the name of the package rather than encrypted text.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
