Executing a DTS Package using an ASP (VBScript)

[chris.dunigan@agwsha.nhs.uk]

I'm looking for an example of how to execute an existing DTS package
from an
ASP (VB)script and would appreciate any and all response. I don't
even
know if it's possible
Thanks

This VBScript example loads and executes an existing DTS package from
SQL
Server.


Option Explicit
Const PackageName = "PackageNam e"
Const ServerName = "ServerName "
Const UserName = "UserName"
Const Password = "Password"
Dim DTSPk
Set DTSPk = CreateObject("d ts.package")
DTSPk.LoadFromS QLServer ServerName, UserName ,Password
,,,,,PackageNa me
DTSPk.Execute
If DTSPk.Steps(1). ExecutionResult = 0 Then
Response.Write "Package execution completed"
Else
Response.Write "Package execution failed"
End If
Set DTSPk = Nothing


You can also create the entire package from scratch from within your
asp and
execute it.


Hope this helps.

Below code works 100% in VB but the load fails in ASP. I get...
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server. Login failed for user "\".
error.
I think the IIS (server a) is set for NT auth. and sql7 (on server b)
as
well but I can't be sure.
Any idea what I should look for.
Thanks

You can specify a trusted connection with flag 256 instead of
username and
password. For example:


DTSPk.LoadFromS QLServer ServerName, , , 256,,,,PackageN ame


Assuming this is an intranet application running under NT 4.0 and you
want
to execute the package under the invoking user's account, you can do
this as
follows:


Specify 'clear text' for the IIS Directory Security
authentication
Remove 'Everyone' from the access list on the files (requires
NTFS) and
grant permissions to the users
Grant logins access to the database server


With this method, users must enter their Domain\UserName and password
when
prompted.


NT authentication presents a challenge when multiple servers are
involved
because NT 4.0 does not support delegation. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/s...e/security.asp for
details.
I understand Windows 2000 provides delegation capabilities but this
can be a
bit tricky to implement.


BTW, if your DTS package does not access SQL Server, you can save it
to a
file and use the LoadFromStorage File method instead.


Hope this helps.

Hi,


I've tried adding this function to my ASP pages and get the following

error message;


Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'


ActiveX component can't create object: 'DTS.Package'


/asp/pages/dts.asp, line 21


Does anyone have any idea what I need to fix to get the DTS to work?


I'm v. new to SQL Server and ASP so any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris Dunigan

Your package.
It works OK if you try and run it from Enterprise Manager on your machine?

You tried a real user and password in those fields when you tried that
method?
This would be equal to the user you're logged on as?

Re: Executing a DTS Package using an ASP (VBScript)



Hi Andy,

Yes the DTS Package works fine when I run it from Enterprise Manager;
and I have used the correct server name, username, password and
packagename.

Having done some more digging into this error I found a site that told
me it could be something to so with the software installed on the PC on
which the database resides.
I think I might need to ensure that dtspkg.dll is correctly installed
(along with a host of other dll and rll's).
As I can't get hold of our IT guys today I haven't been able to see if
this solves my problem.

Does this sound like it may fix the problem??

Regards,
Chris

If no dts package works when run from a job on the server.


Quite frankly, I'm confused by your huge initial post as to which technique
you're trying and what's going on.


I'm wondering if this is running and owned by a user can run the dts package
OK on the server using whichever of the alternatives you posted you're
currently trying.

Try this with the package if it's vbscript using any activex.
Open DTS Designer, right-click the task, select Workflow, then Workflow

Properties. On the Options tab, check "Execute on main package thread"
