    I wish to be able to set up DTS namespaces, property types, and association
    types via scripts. To create these things interactively in different
    environments - dev, test, prod, - is tedious and subject to error.

    I have the java API examples for these things, but a higher-level technique
    would be appreciated - even SQL if there is no other way.

    More info on this issue:

    We have been using TQL to export to Excel from the development environment.
    Then in the next environment (Test) we interactively created the property
    types and association types, and then used Import Wizard to load that content
    into TEST.

    I see (in the import wizard user guide) that the wizard can set up the types
    automatically if the input file is DTS XML format; Therefore I will be looking
    into how to generate that from the development environment.

    Resolved! We have been using TQL to export the content to excel. We simply
    need to specify the .xml extension onto the output file name (in the tql
    editor’s “Output file: field) rather than .xls.

    Thanks anyway!
