group:DTS: Problems calling packages from package.
sql server dts:
Hello all! I have a DTS package, that I'll call "A", which calls another package "B". In A's Global Variable (GV) space, I'm defining the following variables: SourceServer SourceDatabase SourceUser SourcePassword DestinationServer DestinationDatabase DestinationUser DestinationPassword I also define these same GVs in B. I have A define the values for the GVs and I believe that they should "propagate" to B by placing these variables in the "Outer Package Global Variables" tab. However, when I try to change a value from A, it's like B "remembers" the last successful value that was used (it's not picking up the changed value). Am I doing something wrong with respect to GVs and packages calling other packages? Thanks! John Peterson
Thanks Uri...however, it *seems* like it's not working correctly in my case. :-(

A better question might be, what exactly do the two tabs do? That is, if I want to
propagate my out (caller) package's GVs to the inner (callee), do I do that from the Outer Package tab? Or should that be done from the Inner Package tab?

From this article: http://www.winnetmag.com/SQLServer/Article/ArticleID/19747/19747.html
<Quote> Inside the Execute Package task, you can easily pass global variables to the child package, as Figure 1 shows. If you click the Inner Package Global Variables tab in the Execute Package task, DTS scans the child package for any global variables that it expects, and you can set them to your own values. Inner global variables let you set the global variables for the child package from the Execute Package task. Inner global variables are useful when you're calling auditing packages and you want to pass to the child package certain errors based on events in the parent package. Outer global variables send global variables from the parent package to the child package. If a global variable exists in the child package, DTS updates the child's global variable to the parent's value. If the global variable doesn't exist in the child package, DTS creates it. </Quote> It would *seem* that my understanding of this is accurate. Though, clearly I'm still doing something wrong...

John
I think you will be better to put the question to DTS.newsgroup and also look at www.sqldts.com . Personally , I have been calling DTS Package from stored procedure which is accepted a parameter for GV.
