Scheduling Data Transformation Services?

Hi,
Our vendor created a series of dts local packages and I'd like to have them
run each night. When I right-click one of the packages and select Schedule
Package it comes up with a default schedule. So it looks like it is already
schedule, which is fine but how do I know if the package was run? Is this
activity tracked in a log somewhere? When I look under Package Log I see
it's empty. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
LinnIn enterprize manager, go to
Management / SQL Server Agent / Jobs
From there you can view job history and edit the job itself.. as well as the
schedule.

If you open up the DTS package, and click Package, Proprties..and the
Logging tab, you will see in the bottom how to create an error file.
You could also set up a task to email yourself when the task completes
successfully(of course for this to work your server must be configured
to use Exchange.)
