What can be customized using the ActiveX Script Task in DTS?

The ActiveX Script Task in DTS (Data Transformation Services) allows for the customization and execution of complex data transformations. This task enables users to write scripts in ActiveX to manipulate data in ways that go beyond the capabilities of the built-in transformations provided by DTS.

By leveraging the script, you can perform a wide range of operations, such as looping through recordsets, conditional logic, and more nuanced data manipulation processes. This customization is particularly useful when the predefined tasks cannot meet specific business requirements or when innovative data manipulation is necessary.

The other options, while important in the context of DTS, do not pertain to the specific customization capabilities of the ActiveX Script Task. User permissions are typically managed through security configurations, database connections are established and configured in the DTS package properties, and task scheduling is handled through the DTS package scheduler itself, not through the scripting capabilities provided by the ActiveX Script Task.
