Better logging tool for DTSBetter logging tool for DTS
Kevin tells you about a new tool for logging support within DTS from SQL Server MVP David Mauri.
November 28, 2006
I wanted to relay a cool offering from SQL Server MVP David Mauri. Rather than re-write his original post, I'll simply quote him here:
I use SSIS a lot and I find that the logging support is really poor.
The problem is not related to the SSIS Object Model, but to the current implementation of DTExec. To have a DTExec tool as I'd like I've created my DTExec tool that I have called DTLoggedExec.
As the name suggest is a simply DTExec replacement that allows to switch logging on/off without having to modify the packages and also provide deeper logging (variables values, expression values and so on).
If someone uses SSIS a lot too he may find it useful, and also willing to contribute :-)
You can download the full source code on Codeplex:

Any feedback is *really* welcome!
Thanks for this great offering, David!
