Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components is an additional feature pack designed to enrich the functionality of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP4. Intended for developers and server administrators as well, it assists them in managing and editing DTS packages.
Data Transformation Services is a set of components integrated in earlier versions of Microsoft SQL Server that allow the quick execution of database-specific operations. DTS tools have been superseeded by SQL Server Integration Services (in short, SSIS) in more recent editions, which took over their functionality.
The DTS Designer Components can be applied to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 in order to allow the maintenance of DTS packages before their upgrading to the SSIS package format. The Designer Components can be installed on 32-bit systems and are compatible with 64-bit architectures in WOW, but do not support the Itanium platform.
Once users of SQL Server 2005 install this set of components onto their system, they will be able to manage DTS packages from the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, by accessing the Object Explorer. Alternatively, the same operations can be performed by making use of the DTS 2000 Package Task Editor bundled with the Business Intelligence Development Studio.
With the DTS Designer Components installed, users do not require the SQL Server 2000 tools to be present on their systems anymore. Its functions were previously accessed via the SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager, using the Data Transformation Services node.
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 DTS Designer Components is a useful set of utilities for those who rely on SQL Server 2005 during the development process. It can enhance its functionality to conveniently maintain DTS packages, allowing data extraction and uploading from and to a database.System requirementsSQL Server 2005
