hi there,

I have created file .dts. I thought this file as template so I don't need to select tables that I want to export/import.

but, in that file, database source and destination have been set. yes I can change those database by go to PACKAGE|DISCONNECTED EDIT

but, can we do by more simple way?
thanks before

When you say you want to select tables to export/import, are you referring to the Import/Export Wizard in Enterprise Manager? If so then there is no template for that, but you can save your DTS package and then reopen it and use it again and again in the DTS Package Editor. Also, once you have the package saved you can schedule it to run regularly without you having to open it at all.

You can also make use of dynamic properties and pass the table name dynamically when executing the package.

yes, I refer to import/export wizard. I have saved to file about its configuration. but name for databases (both source and destination) are static.

@peso
do u mean I can change database name for source and destination when I run the file (.dts)? then how?
