Scripting the Product Catalog Import DTS Task
For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.
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.
