Transfer SQL Server Objects Task Editor (Objects Page)

Use the Objects page of the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task Editor dialog box to specify properties for copying one or more SQL Server objects from one instance of SQL Server to another. Tables, views, stored procedures, and user-defined functions are a few examples of SQL Server objects that you can copy. For more information about this task, see Transfer SQL Server Objects Task.

Note

The user who creates the Transfer SQL Server Objects task must have sufficient permissions on the source server objects to select them for copying, and permission to access the destination server database where the objects will be transferred.
