Scripting the Product Catalog Import DTS Task

The following script creates and runs the Product Catalog Import DTS task. You can use this script in two ways to create a package that contains the DTS task to run:

  • You can run the package on the command line by using the command DTSRun.exe. The file DTSRun.exe is automatically installed on your server when you install SQL Server.

  • You can copy the script into a Visual Basic script (.vbs) file and run it by using CScript as follows:

    [drive]:cscriptfilename.vbs

For a description of the Product Catalog Import DTS task, see Commerce Server DTS Tasks.
