I'm trying to create a stored procedure which will run 2 SSIS packages before it runs some other SQL code. I read [url=http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162810.aspx]this[/url] article. I'm trying to use the package from the file system.

Here is the my code:

CREATE PROCEDURE usp_participant_limits_report
AS
dtexec /f "C:\....\Activity_Limits.dtsx"
GO

The error message says it doesn't like the "/". Anyone?

Sweet. Nevermind. I figured it out.

I went into Surface Area Configuration and enabled xp_cmdshell. Then I altered my SQL query to read:

exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /f "C:\...\Activity_Limits.dtsx"'
GO

It looks like it worked.
