Re: DTSRUN privileges?

To add to ***'s response, be aware that the DTS package runs on same
machine as DTSRUN. You'll get these errors if you run the package on a
client machine and have specified SQL Server name 'local' in the DTS
connection.

I am trying to get a DTS package to be run from the command line with the
dtsrun utility. The DTS package is stored in the database. The user I
supply is a user in the database. I get an error stating "SQL Server does
not exist or access denied." It looks to me like the SQL Server instance
does exist because it tries to start the package. I get "DTSRun:
Executing". If I put in a server that is non-existent, I do not get that
message. I also know that my username and password are correct.

Here is output from my attempt to run dtsrun for my DTS pkg (server, user,
password change to protect my db security):

C:\>dtsrun /Sserver_name /Uuser /Ppass /Npkg_name
DTSRun: Loading...
DTSRun: Executing...
DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1
DTSRun OnError: DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_1, Error = -2147467259
(80004005)

DTSRun: Package execution complete.


I suspect that my user I am connecting to the database with does not have
privileges to execute the DTS package. I cannot determine, from BOL, what
privs I need to grant to this user to let them execute this package. Any
ideas?


TIA,
Brian
