Error using Dtexec with DTS Package

Question

I'm copying a SQL Server database to another (my_database to my_database_copy) in the same instance.

I'm using a DTS Package with the "SQL Server Agent". I scheduled the data transfert and it works regularly, but I need to use the Dtexec to launch the data trasfer as a user command.

I copied the command line:
/SQL "\"SQL\DTS Packages\Copy Database Wizard Packages\my_package\"" /SERVER SQL /MAXCONCURRENT 1 /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E

and i use it in the Prompt window:
C:\Windows\system32>DTEXEC /SQL "\"SQL\DTS Packages\Copy Database Wizard Packages\my_package\"" /SERVER SQL /MAXCONCURRENT 1 /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E

The script start to works, I thinks it create locally the database but an error occurs during the data transfer, here is the error log:

-- =================================================
-- NON_TRANSACTABLE

CREATE DATABASE [my_database_copy]
CONTAINMENT = NONE

[sql script for dabase structure]

-- =================================================
-- COMPENSATION

USE [master]
GO
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS [my_database_copy]

May be, the script, doesn't running as "SQL Server Agent"? If yes, how can I do it? Can you see other problems?

Thanks

Answer 1

The error is:
This login already has an account with a different user name associated.

You need to fix that problem if you want to use transfer logins.

Answer 2

Hi @abollini71 ,

This login already has an account with a different user name associated.

It seems that you are using SQL Transfer Objects Task and the error thrown when transferring the logins.

You may set copysqlserverlogins to false cause you are coping the database to the same instance.

To copy the database, you may also use Transfer Database Task.
