Unable to execute DTS in sql server 2008 from dtexec

Question

I'm trying to execute a DTS from sqlserver 2008 R2 (Windows Server 2008 Standard) from stored procedure xp_cmdshell.

But getting below error:

Microsoft (R) SQL Server Execute Package Utility Version 10.50.4000.0 for 64-bit Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 2010. All rights reserved.

This can be the result of either providing an incorrect file name was specified when calling LoadPackage or the XML file was specified and has an incorrect format. End Error Could not load package "d:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\package.dtsx;EXE" because of error 0xC0011002.

But when using same command and same DTS on different Windows server 2008, it works fine.

Answer 1

Can you check

1. The file path of "dtexec" file and its version.
2. Is the .dtsx file present in the DB server? Check the file path of the .dtsx file that you mentioned in your code.
3. Check the configuration file path of this dtsx file and whether you passed in the right values for the parameters defined in.
