How can users customize error messages in DTS?

Customizing error messages in DTS (Data Transformation Services) is primarily achieved through configuring error handling properties. This capability allows users to define specific responses and messages that will be displayed when errors occur during the execution of data transformation tasks.

When you configure error handling properties, you can specify what type of error messages should be displayed, how they should be logged, and what action needs to be taken when an error is encountered. This customization is vital for providing clear, user-friendly messages that can aid in troubleshooting and improve the overall user experience.

The other options do not directly relate to customizing error messages in the context of DTS. While global variables might affect the behavior of your packages, they do not specifically pertain to error messaging. Altering system settings could potentially impact the overall environment but is not a targeted method for customizing error messages. Editing SQL queries may allow users to refine how data is processed, but it does not influence the management or presentation of error messages generated by DTS.
