Hello,

I am running sql server 2000 and I have a DTS package that I'd like an end user to be able to execute. Is there any way to create a "shortcut" to execute a DTS package?

Thanks

If you run this from a stored proc on the server, you can give them rights to the stored proc and they can run it if the stored proc has the right access rights..


exec xp_cmdshell 'dtsrun /s <ServerName> /E /N <PackageName>'

humanpuck,
Check "command prompt utilities, dtsrun" in BOL

Thanks for both responses. Rick I think that the solution you provided will work for me. Srinika I'd also like to follow up on your solution, but what do you mean by "in BOL"?

Thanks again for the help

I noticed when I looked it up. I think the solution is perfect Rick. I can write a stored procedure for the end user to access through our ERP. Just trying to make them less dependant on IT.

Not the same !!

Using dtsrun and create a bat file and have a "Shortcut" of that BAT file (as requested initially by humanpuck).

You can also execute the DTS thru a intranet web page, is that an option to you ?
