File not found; calling DTS from SP

[Veejc]

Hi all

I've got a DTS package that I am successfully calling from a SP using the following command

exec master..xp_cmdshell 'dtsrun /S Tahiti /E /N DTS_QA_leadscreeningoutput'

The package is being found and run fine.

The problem is this:

There is a transformation being done TO a text file inside that package. The package has been a standalone thing for since it's creation and has successfully been using a couple of txt files saved up to a shared drive for it's output.

ONLY when the package is called by this sp does it not find these files. Here is the error that is generated:

All of the other tasks inside the package work fine and do what they are supposed to; it's only failing on these two steps because it can't find the files.

I thought perhaps it ahd something to do with the security I told it to follow when calling the package.. is that possible? If so, could someone help me troubleshoot this? Currently I told it to use the trusted connection and I am logged in myself and I know I ahve the access to where I need, but am not sure of what exactly is wrong.

Any ideas?

just in case anyone ever runs into this... i figured out my problem.

the sqlsa login which is what was calling the sp didn't have the rights to the shared drive that the files were stiting on... moving the files to the local machine fixed this problem
