This video is an excellent overview of what to expect when running SQL Server 2005's Package Migration Wizard, the tool that migrates/upgrades your DTS packages to SSIS packages. If you are running SQL Server 2000 currently and want to know what challenges you face when moving to SSIS (as if you don't already know), then this video can help you spot common issues and recommend alternative techniques.

Highlights from this video:
  • What options you have for migrating from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 (with respect to Data Tranformation Services)
  • Migrating one package or multiple packages (such as all packages)
  • Launching the Package Migration Wizard (PMW) from the command line (DOS prompt)
  • Common failures/challenges/issues with the PMW
  • Migrating the Dynamic Properties Task
  • Migrating Variables and the Execute SQL Task
  • Upgrading ActiveX Script Tasks
  • Migrating FTP Tasks
  • Moving Transform Data Tasks and the common choices/options the PMW will use
and much more.

In the end, you have to decide whether to rewrite/redesign/rearchitect your DTS packages when you move to SSIS or you can use the Package Migration Wizard. This video (and the rest of the videos on the PMW) will help you make this choice.
