DTS Package Logging - can u limit it?

Hello. When you turn Logging on, for a DTS package, it
appears to save the history forever? If that's true, is
there an option to clear DTS package logs, after like 30
days? or would you need to write something to do this
purge manually? THanks, BruceYou can delete all the logs for a package from the Package Properties,
Logging tab.
You can also right click on local packages under the DTS node in
Enterprise Manager and select Logging. From here you have a bit more
control on selecting packages, selecting logs to delete, etc.
If you want to automate this somehow, you could code your own
maintenance of these using the DTS Object Model and schedule this
through a job. Take a look at the RemovePackageLogRecords method of
the PackageSQLServer object.

built-in to SQL Server, to give me a set number of logs,
or a set number of days, like you can adjust the number of
SQL error log files. Yep, I'll check out the homegrown
approach... THanks, Bruce
