Can a DTS package be scripted or transferred to another server?

I have production SQL Server database that must be moved to a new
machine. There is a fairly complex DTS package on the original server
that is used to handle the weekly updates to the database.

Is there a way to export this DTS package in order to set it up on the
new machine as well?

Best Regards,

The June issue of SQL Server magazine (http://www.sqlmag.com) had a
good article on making DTS packages portable between servers.

You can, when designing the DTS Package, select "Save As..." and
change the "location" to a structured storage file. You can then
import this file onto your production server. If you scripted all
your local connections as "(local)", then this should be the end of
the story, if not, you'll need to open it and change your local
connections to the production server.

Hope this helps
