Executing a dts package outside of enterprise mananger

    HI. I have an import job that is set up with a dts package. It will import an access table into a sql server database table. This job will need to be run as needed(like once a year) but never at the same time, so I can't schedule it. I wanted to know if our computer operators could somehow submit this package to run but without having enterprise manager installed on their pc. 

    Make any sense?

    Thanks,

    Juanita

    You can run DTS jobs from a command prompt or in a batch job.

    The basic syntax is "dtsrun /S /E /N"

    The /E switch tells DTS to run under a trusted account. You may have to replace it with /U user_name and /P password]}

    Search for "dtsrun Utility" in BOL.

    If you don't have Enterprise Manager installed, you will need to install DTS. Unfortunately, I don't have the SQL installation files with me but, from memory, you can install DTS without needing to install any of the other SQL client tools.

    An alternative to learning the command line options for DTSRun is to use DTSRunUI. This is a GUI utility for choosing the package, version, setting globals etc with an option to generate the DTSRun command line for later execution.

    Check out SQLDTS.COM, they've got a listing of files that need to be installed to get DTS to work on its own.

    Doubt that these files are freely distributable, so be aware of licensing issues when doing this.
