Scripting the Configuration Synchronization DTS Task

For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

The following script creates and runs the Configuration Synchronization 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 Configuration Synchronization DTS task, see Commerce Server DTS Tasks.
