There used to be one that described the package in XML from Mosaic
Interactive but they have disappeared. There is no documenter built in.
What kind of documentation do you need.?

Thanks for replying
I need a diagram of processes + entities involved. We have around 80 DTSs and I would like to see what they do without having to open and inspect each one

Then I think your only way is to go through the object model for each
package. You can enumerate all the objects/tasks/connections/dependencies
and write it to whatever format you require.

Is there then a way to enumerate obj/task/... automatically and write it somewhere

You can do some simple code such as -

Dim pkg As DTS.Package = ...Load Package...

For Each conn as Connection In oPkg.Connections
.. Read conn properties here and write...
Next

There are three main collections, connections, steps and tasks. The
detail for each task is contained in the custom task.

For the full object model try Books Online -
(mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\Microsoft%20SQL% 20Server\80\Tools\Books
\dtsprog.chm::/dtspapps_64z0.htm)

A good start point would be the ScriptPkg sample that shipped with SQL
7.0.
