Has anyone ever seen a stored procedure work in Query Analyzer and NOT in the DTS package? I have a stored procedure within a DTS package that is failing. The error message reads "SQL Server Unspecified Error".

In query analyzer the stored procedure works just fine. The DTS pacakge is pointing to all the correct data sources. We have ruled out that it is a security or a permissions issue. We are running SQL Server Enterprise Edition SP3.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciate! I:

Thanks,
Julie

We need more information in order to help you out. Please describe your DTS package. Describe how you are calling the stored procedure.

dts is a client application so it has to connect to the server then run the SP.
query analyser is also a client application and has to do the same.
Obviously there is something different about the connection/call.
Try comparing them using the profiler.
There are a lot of properties to do with the connaction that can cause failures.


==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

How did you rule out permissions?

Did you login as the SQLServer/SQLAgent Service account, and run the SP?

We ruled out permissions because we used the same logon ID to login to query anaylzer as we did in the DTS package. In addition, we know that the stored procedure inside the DTS package which gets called by the SQL Query Icon is calling the stored procedure, however it fails half way through on an 'Update' statement within the query. Throwing out an unspecified error on the update portion. Keep in mind that this same stored procedure executes just fine in Query Analyzer. That is what is so bizarre.


Thanks,
Julie

Well...

How do you know you're pointing to the correct data source.

If for example you have dts set up, and let's say it's pointing to file at location d:\temp, when you run it will look at your local client side mappings, but if you schedule and let dts run, it will look at the server side mapping...

1. Where's the data source you're looking at.
2. I've never heard of DTS calling a sproc, what are you doing
3. Don't use DTS...plain and simple...
