Scripting Jobs Using Transact-SQL
SQL Server Management Studio can generate Transact-SQL scripts for existing jobs. Generating job scripts helps you perform tasks such as the following:
Controlling versions of job creation source code.
Migrating jobs from test into production.
Scripting alerts and operators.
Saving the scripts in a SQL Server Management Studio Project.
SQL Server Management Studio can create scripts for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and later versions of Microsoft SQL Server. If you choose to create a SQL Server 2000-compatible script, certain features in later versions of SQL Server are ignored, such as:
Column level collation.
User-defined functions, extended properties.
INSTEAD OF triggers on tables and views.
Indexes on views (indexed views).
Indexes on computed columns.
Descending indexes.
Reference permissions on views.
This option is available only on an instance of SQL Server 2005or later.
