SUMMARY
In order to load a specific DTS package that is stored in the repository you must use the LoadFromRepository function. One of the function's required parameters is the PackageID. This ID identifies the DTS Package uniquely in the repository. The code sample below demonstrates how to retrieve this PackageID and use it in the function.
MORE INFORMATION
The following code loops through all DTS packages stored in the repository until the specified package name is found. Once the package that you want to load is found you can then get the correct PackageID and use it in the LoadFromRepository function. This code then loads the package and executes it.
To run the following code, paste it into a new form's general declarations section of a Standard EXE project and make sure to register the Microsoft DTSPackage Object Library and Microsoft Repository object references for the project:
Dim goPackage As DTS.Package
Private Sub Form_Click()
Set goPackage = New DTS.Package
Dim oRep As New Repository
Dim oITF As InterfaceDef
Dim oCol As ObjectCol
Dim oObj As RepositoryObject
Dim sPackageID As String
Dim strPkgName As String
strPkgName = "mytest" 'name of package to load
oRep.Open "Driver={SQL Server};Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=yes;Database=msdb"
' OBJID of IDtsTransformationPackage interface
Set oITF = oRep.object("{{EBB9995C-BA15-11d1-901B-0000F87A3B33},000032CA}")
Set oCol = oITF.ObjectInstances
For Each oObj In oCol
If oObj.Name = strPkgName Then 'look for specific package
sPackageID = oObj("IDtsTransformationPackage").PackageID 'get PackageID
Exit For
End If
Next
On Error GoTo LoadErr
goPackage.LoadFromRepository "(local)", "MSDB", "sa", "", sPackageID
goPackage.Execute
Exit Sub
LoadErr:
FAIL "Unable to load package " & strPkgName & ". Error: " & Error$
End Sub
Sub FAIL(strMessage$)
MsgBox strMessage
End
End Sub
