Running DTS from within a Stored Proc

[Aristotle Spyropoulos]

Is there any way to call a DTS package from within a stored procedure?

EXEC(dtsrun <myDTSpackage>)

Thank you.

[Eddie Deeney]

Another Alternative is, if you are familiar with Data Transformation Services (DTS) Designer. A DTS package is a GUI description of all the work that must be performed as part of your transformation.

Having created the Package that you need the package can be saved as file, or stored on a SQL Server. This Package can then be execute by running the dtsrun utility. Which is a command line based utility. Simply pass it the appropriate parameters, depending on whether you saved it as a file or stored it in SQL.

To call this from within a stored procedure use the xp_cmdshell stored procedure. However by default only members of the sysadmin can run this extended stored procedure.

I have included 2 simple examples, one assumes that you saved the DTS package as a file, the other assume that you save it to a SQL Server.


Create Procedure dts_file
Begin
execute master..xp_cmdshell &#39;dtsrun /F C:MSSQL7dtsDTS_Server01.dts
/N DTS_Server01&#39; -- Package Name
End

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Create Procedure dts_file2
AS
Begin
execute master..xp_cmdshell &#39;dtsrun /S Server01 --Server name
/E -- Trusted Connection
/N DTS_Server01&#39; -- Package Name
End


Hope that helps

[Aristotle Spyropoulos]

Eddie,
This is very nice. Here is another solution recommended to me:
1. I schedule the DTS pacakge (i.e. create a job) and then disable the job.
2. Run the job from within the usp as:

msdb..sp_start_job @job_name = &#39;MyJobThatRunsDTSPackage&#39;

I could not run it from within the stored procedure, as I was attempting:
USE msdb
sp_start_job @job_name = &#39;MyJobThatRunsDTSPackage&#39;

but stored procedures do not allow for &#34;USE&#34; statements. Your suggestion below (master..xp_cmdshell) gave me the clue.

Thank you!
