Use the Dialogs page of the Global Settings dialog box to specify the default user action and warning settings for SSMA.

To access the dialog settings on the Tools menu, select Global Settings, click GUI at the bottom of the left pane, and then select Dialogs.

Options

Warn before overwriting objects
When SSMA converts objects to SQL Server, some objects may already exist in the project's SQL Server metadata. These objects may have already been converted, or the objects may simply have the same name within the target schema as objects you are going to convert.

Use this option to specify whether SSMA should prompt you for overwriting duplicate object definitions:

  • If you select True, SSMA will display a warning dialog box when it encounters a duplicate object. In this dialog, you can specify to overwrite individual objects or all duplicate objects, or to skip individual objects or all duplicate objects.

  • If you select False, the Object overwrite default action option appears where you specify the default action.

Object overwrite default action
This option appears if you select False for the Warn before overwriting objects option.

Use this option to specify the default object overwrite behavior:

  • If you select True, SSMA will automatically overwrite objects in the SQL Server project metadata that have the same name and are in the same target schema as the object to be converted.

  • If you select False, SSMA does not overwrite object metadata during conversion.
