SYMPTOMS

On a computer that is running Microsoft Commerce Server 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Microsoft Commerce Server 2009, you try to import product catalog data into a data warehouse. To do this, you use the Data Warehouse Import Wizard, or you run the Product Catalog Import Data Transformation Services (DTS) task. In this situation, the product catalog data is not imported. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
The task reported failure on execution.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because of an error in the Cdtstasks.dll file. Specifically, this error occurs under the following circumstances:
  • The DTS task reads the catalog hierarchy from the product catalog database.
  • The DTS task tries to transfer the data into the CatHierarchy table that is in the data warehouse.
