Has anyone had difficulty with UDF's in a clustered environment? We have
some DTS code that references a user defined function. When we run the DTS
package on non-clustered servers, the DTS package executes in several
minutes. However, when we run the same code against the database in a
clustered environment, the package never finishes. Watching the proc
monitor shows fairly decent server activity, but just never returns.
Anyone?

Thanks

I'm not sure what the UDF could be doing that will only cause problems in a
cluster so maybe that is not the real issue. Have you tried tracing the
execution of the package under Profiler to see where the package execution
gets "stuck"? You should also check for blocking when the package is
running. Please see the following article for more info:
