DTS

  • Hi, when I try to run a DTS package to copy database between two SQL servers it aborts with "undefined error"

    * Both servers are SQL 2000 enterprise with SP3

    * Servers are in two different boxes, one runs Win 2003 server, the other runs win 2000 server

    * Login to both servers as "sa" during DTS design

    * Destination server has enough space for the data and log files

    * Destination server runs under an account that has entitlements to copy files accross network.

    Am I missing somthing??

  • I've found that this process can be problematic. Usually there is some rights issue. If you double click the line wiht the error, is the error mentioned above the one that returns?

    Can you run a profiler trace of the process and see what happens?

    Hi, here are more info:-

    * no users are connected to source database

    * connection to source and target servers are OK from QA and EM

    * package consists of one step only (copy database)

    * package aborts immediately when run with "error occured", when double click it displays "unspecified error"

    * profiler trace doesn't seem very helpful
