SUMMARY
=======
This article summarizes the process that you can use to generate a Package
Definition File (PDF) from a package that was created manually in Systems
Management Server Administrator.
This is useful if you need to add the following line
SynchronousSystemExitRequired = TRUE
to an existing package or if you would like to easily regenerate the package at a
later time.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Obtain the Writepdf.exe file. This file is included in the Systems Management
Server Resource Kit, which is available for download from the Microsoft Web site
at
http://www.microsoft.com/smsmgmt/.
This utility will create a generic PDF from the information entered in the
package setup.
Usage
-----
writepdf.exe <sqlserver> <sqlaccount> <password>
<database> <package_id>
Examples
--------
writepdf.exe sqlsvr2 sa secret sms sms12345
or
writepdf.exe sqlsvr2 sa "" sms sms12345
NOTE: If the SQL account password is blank or contains one or more spaces, place
it within quotation marks.
This will generate a PDF file with the package_id as the name in the current
directory.
