Is there a system table containing the information if a package has been success

Hi all,
Im not really sure if this is a PHP or and SQL problem but here goes.

Im using MSSQL and have developed a webpage that enables users to run various PACKAGES manually, however I need to display if the package has been successfully run.

Is there a system table that logs package information or is there a PHP function that I can use.

Thanks

P.s I know there are some system tables with the information for jobs but I do not want to create a job for each package.If you say about DTS... then you can find it in msdb database
msdb..sysdtspackagelog... and etc.

Is there a easy way to backup by DTSs?

Hi,

In order to backup by DTS packages, currently I individually open each DTS package in Design mode and then save them as Structured Storage File. Since I have a # of DTS packages and due to the current nature of the work these are changed frequently therefore this backing activity takes time.

Is there a simpler solution via which I canbackup all my DTS packages?

Many TIA.Hi,

have a look here:

Thanks. Is this a freeware or a shareware?|||Think it's freeware. But it's mentioned in the license (which is quite short ;-) )|||Aye its freeware "You can use and distribute the software internally within your organisation".
This product works so well, we have an scheduled job which backups 5 server's DTS packages to a central location. :-)

IS Package doesnt ship with password

Hi,
I tried many times checking "Save password" in connection manager editor. But everytime I open the editor again and I see the password field blank.
I took it as normal, and deployed my IS Package, It couldnt run because of login failed for user 'sa'.

How do I force IS to save password on any ProtectionLevel ?

Thanks,
Fahad

You can't. You'll have to set it through dtexec. SSIS doesn't save passwords. There are plenty of threads in this forum on that topic.|||First, /SET option isnt working
I am trying it this way
U sa /P gama /SET "\Package.Connections[TRIMURTY.TMDB.SA].Properties[ConnectionString]";"Data Source=TRIMURTY;User ID=sa;Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Persist Security Info=True;Auto Translate=False;Password=gama"

Second, I have to run this IS Package from another IS Package as well by using Execute Package Task. How would I supply these things on there ?

Please help me
Thanks

|||If you're promoting these packages to the MSDB database in SQL Server, have you looked at using ServerStorage for the ProtectionLevel property?|||I have read about ServerStorage, It has nothing to do with storing connections' passwords but storing the Package.|||

No, not true. it means it relies on SQL Server to match up the assigned user to the SQL server user account.

ServerStorage: "Protects the whole package using SQL Server database roles."|||Here I am not interested in package protection or package security. I am interested in saving password with package. or to avoid this error "login failed for user 'sa'"

ProtectionLevel ServerStorage doesnt let me save the DTS Package in designer.|||

Right, but again, you cannot save the password with the package. Can't do it. When you save to the server, you can choose SQL Server role security. Or, try EncryptSensitiveWithPassword. Using that though, you'll have to issue the password everytime the package executes.|||

Ok I will issue the password, but that password will be to execute dts and its separate from passwords in connection manager.
And my understanding with this error message is; the Executable is unable to open child package for executing, not connection manager inside this child has error.|||

Tough to say... I would think it's the connection managers that's throwing the error.|||

Search this forum for configuration files then use these to "freeze" the password.
