                                            | Is it possible to see the DTS package execution log/history. Something like SQL Server Agent job history. If yes how?I queried the table sysdtspackagelog, sysdtssteplog, and sysdtstasklog in msdb. But they are empty. But the DTS package is run by a SQL Server Agent job. |  |

                                          | Open your DTS package. There in package properties activate logging and save your package.Next time after execution you can right click on your package and view the log.WebfredNo, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die. |

                                          | Thanks Webfred.The "DTS Packages available on the server" drop down list is empty. I think it is because the DTS package is saved in "Meta Data Services". Is there any way to log/view the execution of DTS packages stored in the Meta Data Services? |
