Hello all,
I have this situation, I have a DTS package consisting of a series of data
transformations and data transfers from our server to remote servers. If I
execute the DTS from the Data Transformation Services --> Local Packages, it
runs smoothly without any problems. But, when I schedule that same DTS
package and have SQL (Server 2000) run it as a task on a daily manner it
runs "successfully" (according to SQL) but when I see the job history I see
that no records were transferred even though it says "successfully" (which,
obviously, isn't)
So, my question is, what could be causing that a DTS package running from a
Job Task transfers no records and when I run it directly from Data
Transformation Services --> Local Packages, it transfers the right data
(between 180 and 200 records depending on the day, but NEVER 0 records)
is it permissions? it it something else? (btw, my DTS package doesn't need
parameters or anything like that)
Thanks in advance for all your help,

If you run the package remotely using Enterprise Manager, it runs on the
client machine. However, the package runs on the sever when launched via a
job. Perhaps this is reason for the difference.

I know that, that's why when I run it (I should've specified this in my
previous message) I use remote desktop, so I'm running "locally" from within
the same server the job task must run.
But thanks for your pointing that out,

here's what the log said: "Executed as user: usr999xxx. ...te Table

so, 0 records. No good...

rights of your remote desktop login are being used but when the dts job is
executed by a job it uses whatever the permissions of the sqlagent are
(which may be the system account of the server the contains the dts
package).
