Scripting the Data Deletion DTS Task

The following script creates and runs the Data Deletion 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 Data Deletion DTS task, see Commerce Server DTS Tasks.

    Next 

MsgBox oPackage.Name + " Done"

You can replace the code between the comments "Set DataDeletion DTS task properties to remove all the logs for the site" and "Create a step" with the following code to remove only the specified log files.

oTaskProps("SourceType").value= 0
oTaskProps("SourceName").value="BlankSite"
oTaskProps("DeleteType").value= 1
oTaskProps("WebLogDeleteType").value= 1
' The ListofLogs property must be set to valid task IDs in the 
' Task History table.
oTaskProps("ListofLogs").value= "1058,1059"
oPackage.Tasks.Add oTask
