Scripting the Web Server Log Import DTS Task

  • Article

The following script creates and runs the Web Server Log Import DTS task. This script can be used to create a package containing the DTS task to be run. The sample script can be run in two different ways. 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. Or you can copy the script into a Visual Basic script file (.vbs) and run it by using cscript, for example, <drive>:cscript <filename>.vbs.

To successfully complete the import of data into the Data Warehouse, run the DTS tasks in the following order:

  1. Configuration Synchronization
  2. Web Server Log Import
  3. Transaction Data Import
  4. Product Catalog Import
  5. Profile Data Import
  6. Campaign Data Import
  7. Data Deletion
  8. Model Builder
  9. IP Resolution
  10. Report Preparation
  11. Report caching

For more information about the DTSLogImport object, see DTSLogImport Object.

For a description of this DTS task, see Commerce Server DTS Tasks.
