DTS Programming

LineageShortID Property

The LineageShortID property specifies a value that uniquely identifies the lineage record for the execution of a Data Transformation Services (DTS) package that is stored in Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 Meta Data Services.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetLineageShortID(BSTR *pRetVal);

Remarks

If the package is not hosted in Meta Data Services, a unique LineageShortID property is generated by DTS for each execution of the package. Because LineageShortID is a long value, it is more convenient to use for indexed columns in a database than the LineageFullID, which is a globally unique identifier (GUID) string.
