DTS Packages in SQL 2005 - what are they now, etc

OK - so it looks like DTS Packages are "legacy". I installed the component to be able to edit and run them from SQL 2005 Management console and that seems to work fine. (I haven't acually run my packages yet, but at least I can open and edit the dang things). And I also migrated the existing ones from the networked server on which they lived (which is still running SQL 2000) to my local server (which is the one on 2005).

So assuming I want to do the new methodology - what IS the new methodology?

Where are the migrated packages? I looked at all of the links in the SQL Management Console for anything that references these newly migrate packages, and I don't see them - or anything that looks like them - anywhere.

What do I run them in - from what, how, etc? This really isn't clear at all.OK - so I think I have this figured out. You have to connect to Integration Services for a specific server. If you do that, they are then in the Stored Packages. So I'll post back if I have any problems when I actually get up the courage to try and run these puppies...|||That's correct. If you used the destination as a server, you have to connect to Integration Services and then see the packages under MSDB in stored packages. Alternatively, you can choose "DTSX File" as the destination for your migrated packages, and then save your packages as .dtsx files in your chosen folder. You can then add these packages to an SSIS Project and view/edit them in BI Studio.|||Hi.
Yeah, they are unregular XML-files, I guess. Not to be edited.

Try to enable and start the "DTS Server" service, then run
cmd
dtexec.exe /?

They can also be scheduled from within managment studio and run from bi studio.
