Save Metadata (Db2ToSQL)

The Save Metadata dialog box prompts you to load metadata into your SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) project before saving it. With this feature, you have a complete project file that you can use offline and send to other people, such as technical support personnel.

To access the Save Metadata dialog box, save the project. If any metadata is missing, SSMA displays the Save Metadata dialog box.
