Identify which DTS package is being called by scheduled job!
I was struggling to identify the DTS package name from the job syntax which looks like, DTSRun /~Z0x5B431B25562BD74…2AE391DF759D0B3B09EEAB94B687E05E66CE7307C6304204 this can be simulated by right clicking the DTS Package (SQL 2000) and schedule a job.
