Executing DTS from within SSIS

Hi All,

I have a scenario where I am executing bunch of DTS packages from within an SSIS package. These packages are saved as structured files and everything works fine. However I am concerned about one thing which is whether these SSIS/DTS packges will run fine on my production server where I dont have any SQL SERVER 2000 /2005 installed , it just has SSIS installed on it. Appreciate all help.

Thanks

I did a little research on MSDN and other websites and I think it should not be any problem executing the DTS packages from within SSIS packages on a server having just Integration Services Installed on it.

Thanks

Installing SSIS gives basic DTS suport for free, so it will already be there. Notable exceptions are the DTS AS Processing Task and Data Mining Task.

Installing Run-time Support for SQL Server 2000 DTS Packages

You can run DTS packages and SSIS packages on the same computer.

When you select Integration Services for installation, Setup also installs support for DTS packages, including the DTS runtime and DTS package enumeration in SQL Server Management Studio. Support in the runtime is enhanced to enable DTS packages to access SQL Server 2005 data sources.

execute dts 2000 failure

I have used to the execute dts 2000 task in Visual Studio to successfully execute a structured storage file for a simple DTS package.

I am trying to use the same method for another DTS package, which executes five other packages. I've tried both the 'structured storage' and 'embedded in task' methods pointing to the parent package but in debugging mode the execution immedately fails. When I execute the parent package in Management Studio, it successfully executes the five child packages. I am including the debugging message below, thogh it doesn't help me any. Does anyone know what the problem is?

SSIS package "BPSA_LOAD_ACCT_SUMMARY_NEW.dtSX" starting.
Error: 0x0 at Execute DTS 2000 Package Task: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040427): Execution was canceled by user.
at DTS.PackageClass.Execute()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Tasks.Exec80PackageTask.Exec80PackageTask.ExecuteThread()
Task failed: Execute DTS 2000 Package Task
Warning: 0x80019002 at BPSA_LOAD_ACCT_SUMMARY_NEW: The Execution method succeeded, but the number of errors raised (1) reached the maximum allowed (1); resulting in failure. This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
SSIS package "BPSA_LOAD_ACCT_SUMMARY_NEW.dtSX" finished: Failure.

My misunderstanding.

I realize now that I have to execute the 5 DTS 2000 package tasks in the one 2005 project.

|||I have small info about this problem. The real message in the DTS(2000) package log (but no in SSIS "Execute DTS 2000 Package Task" on SQL 2005 Server!) is:
"Step Error Source:
Step Error Description:(1:"My DTS 2000 Task Name") SubStep 'DTSStep_DTSExecutePackageTask_1' failed with the following error:
Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
Execution was canceled by user.Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
Step Error code: 80040427
Step Error Help File:
Step Error Help Context ID:0"
And this problem interrelated, as i any more know, with parallel execution of nested packages on DTS ("Execute on main package tread" option).
