Job/Sheduled DTS/...: Rename a File

Hi,
I need to import a file with a Sheduled DTS, and after I have imported it I
shoudl rename the File. Is there any way to do this with a DTS or Job?
Thanks a lot,
PieterDragu,
have a look at this link. It has examples of different uses of the
filesystemobject which you'll need to call in VBScript:

Execute a batch file either using DTS or sql job.

Job runs succesfully, but database not updated

I have created a job to run an executable. This executable has to read an
Excelsheet in order to import the data into the database.
I got the message that the job has run succesfully, but the data is not in
the database.
My job looks like this:
c:\mydirectory\bin\excelimport.exe /Slocal) /D:DataComp 20051020
S: --> the local server
D:--> database name
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
LoHi
You don't say where the job expects the excel file to be! Have you looks at
SQL profiler to see what is happening when the program runs?

I would not expect any error messages from SQL Profile, just the information
about which database it is running against and what SQL statements are being
executed by the job. You can then confirm that it is not connecting to the
correct database or that it is not finding the file.
Do you have a dynamic properties task to change the destination database?
You may want to see http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?252

SQL .mdf file import.
How can i import a .mdf file(291MB in size) into a txt
file?
a step by step guide - as i know nothign about SQL 2000
thanks / Regards,
Jeff
Hi,
You can't import/export from a physical SQL server data file to a text file
or viceversa.
To do this first attach the MDF file as a database inside SQL server. After
that use the SQL server utilities BCP OUT or DTS to export the data from
tables to a Text file.
Thanks
Hari

|||Hi Jeff,
Login to SQl server using the Query analyzer and try attaching the MDF file
as a database.
sp_attach_single_file_db
'dbname','physical_file_name_of_mdf_file_with_exac t_path'
Note:
Normally each database consists of 1 MDF and 1 LDF (Transactionlog) file. In
your case it seems you do not have the LDF file. So the above command may
file due to below reasons:-
1. If the database is not detached earlier
2. If the original database had more than 1 LDF files.
If your case does not fall in above categories then you will be able to
attach and then you can export contents to a text file using DTS or BCP.
Thanks
Hari
