Hey Friends,

I am running a DTS job from a stored proc using Sp_OA methods. It does work..mostly...
All of the steps of the DTS complete except the last one. When i run the dts by right click execute pacakge it is perfect. When i run from stored proc the second to last step in the dts is exec a stored proc, and the last step of THAT stored proc is drop tmp table, which is successful, but then on success it is supposed to delete a file, which does not happen when i run the dts from stored proc, it also doesnt write to the DTS log when ran from stored proc, but all works perfect if you right click and execute.

what am i missing??

Thanks a lot for any help friends!

well, it doesnt look like it now. I thought since it executes the dts, the dts would just run, it is confusing that it just doesnt complete that last step. all we need to do is delete a txt file. i cannot do it using xp_cmdshell or SP_OA deletefile, i get access denies on xp_cmdshell and it says completed successfully with sp_oa deletefile, but it is not, the file is still there?

What do you think i am missing?

Thanks!

i think you need to give access right to account which executes SP_OA deletefile
