Hello,

I have my development database ready, including the DTS packs.
Now I need to transfer everything to the real server. The database is simpel, I do a detach, copy the files onto a CD-ROM, and do a attach again after copying the database.
But what with the DTS Packs....I know I can do 'save as' but the new server is sitting somewhere in france...

Any tips or hints??

Thanks

It's easier if you run the dts packages from storage files then you just copy the files.
You could save all your packages as files put the files on cd then load and save them to msdb on the destination.

The packages are all in msdb..sysdtspackages so you could dump that table and load it on the destination using bcp.

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

I've saved one as a file (extention .dts) but how do I reload them at the target server?
Through the dts editor or ??

To load your DTS package from a file, right click on data transformation packages in EM and go to Open Package...

See dtsrun - it has an option to load from a storage file rather than msdb.
