How to: Migrate Data Transformation Services Packages to Integration Services
You are not required to migrate SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS) packages to the SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) package format. DTS packages can continue to run alongside Integration Services packages.
For more information about the upgrade and migration options available to users of Data Transformation Services, see Upgrading or Migrating Data Transformation Services.
If you want to migrate your DTS packages, SQL Server 2005 provides the Package Migration Wizard to help in this process. Because the wizard leaves your original packages intact, you can always continue to use the original packages if you experience migration difficulties.
The Package Migration Wizard is installed when Integration Services is installed. For more information, see How to: Ensure Support for Data Transformation Services Packages.
Note
The Package Migration Wizard is available in the Standard, Enterprise, and Developer Editions of SQL Server 2005.
For more information about migrating DTS packages, see Migrating Data Transformation Services Packages.
