I've got the problem. I created DTS package that copy data from SQL Server to
the text file. The DTS successfully execute from 'Data Transformation
Services', but when DTS schedule to run in SQL Server Agent it gives me the
error.

DTSRun: Loading... DTSRun: Executing...
DTSRun OnStart: DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1
DTSRun OnError: DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1,
Error = -2147467259 (80004005)
Error string: Error opening datafile: The system cannot find the path
specified. Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat
File Rowset Provider Help file: DTSFFile.hlp Help context: 0
Error Detail Records: Error: 3 (3); Provider Error: 3 (3) Error
string: Error opening datafile: The system cannot find the path specified.
Error source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset
Provider Help file: DTSFFile.hlp Help context: 0 DTSRun
OnFinish: DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1 DTSRun: Package execution complete.
Process Exit Code 1. The step failed.

Is anybody can help, please.

thanks.

Try to check the identity of the SQL Server Agent (by opening
SQL Server Agent properties) and change the identity with a user that has
access on both the SQL server table (inside the database) and the path of
the text file.

All identities same, but it doesn't help.
What do you know about Redistributing DTS?

I can't understand....do you want to write a program because of Sql Server

Anyway i don't know anything more of what you can find in your posted URL
about redistributing DTS.

Try what Francesco indicated but also check any log file, UDL, input, output
file, or ay file that may have a hard coded directory. I you develop on a
server that would have C:\DATA directory and you place logs files or anything
else it in, make sure that same directory exists on the new server or modify
the DTS package to include the new directory you want to use ... I had
similar problems migrating DTS and I just made myself an Active X script that
assigned the base directory based on a parameter so I would not have to worry
about directories when moving DTS around ...

I hope I'm understood your problem correctly ...

You are probably already aware of this but when you run DTS locally versus
runnig it by scheduler, you are using different accounts so it may not
necessarily have the same directories for example locally would use your
local C: drive but the scheduler would use the C: drive from the server ...

Let's rephrase the question at hand. Have you seen DTS packages that fail
intermitently with the same error as mentioned by markZ.
I have many DTS packages usin UNC to get at flatfiles and i have intermitent
failures.
My suspicion is that there is a bug in the DTS engine, there are no other
explanations.

I've seen something similar with intermittent failures of
scheduled packages accessing files using UNC paths. I've
seen it with network issues. Check the event logs on the SQL
Server box looking for network, server related issues
including things like redirector timeouts.
