Remarks

For the ExecutePackageTask object, the PackageID does not need to be specified if sufficient other information is specified to identify the package. If the VersionID is not specified, the most recent version of the package is run.

To determine the package ID of a package, open the package in DTS Designer. In the DTS Package Properties dialog box, click the General tab.

The syntax of GUIDs is:

{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}

where X represents hexadecimal digits. The groupings are 8, 4, 4, 4, and 12 digits.
