Setting Project Options (OracleToSQL)

For each SSMA project you can set project level options. These options specify object conversion, object loading, user interface and data migration settings. Before you convert objects to SQL Server or migrate data into SQL Server, verify that the configuration options are appropriate for the project.

SSMA lets you configure default options for all projects. These options are applied to any new project that you create. You can then customize the options for each project.

Configuration Options and Modes

SSMA has five sets of project settings:

  • Project Information

  • General (Conversion, Migration, Loading Objects)

  • Synchronization

  • GUI

  • Type Mapping

It also has four modes for configuring these settings:

  • Default

  • Optimistic

  • Full

  • Custom

The Default mode is recommended for most users. The Optimistic mode keeps more of the current Oracle syntax, and is easier to read. However, keeping current syntax might not be accurate. If the Oracle syntax must be converted to equivalent SQL Server syntax, the Full mode performs the most complete conversion, but the resulting code might be more difficult to read. In the Custom mode, you set the options.

For more information about the settings and how the settings are applied in each mode, see the following topics:

Setting Project Options

In SSMA, you can configure default settings for all projects. These settings are saved to the SSMA configuration file and applied to any new project that you create.

To set default project options

  1. On the Tools menu, click Default Project Settings.

  2. In the Default Project Settings dialog box, use one of the following procedures:

    • Select migration project type for which settings are required to be viewed or changed from Migration Target Version drop down click General at the bottom of the left pane, and then select Conversion or Migration.

    • To select a predefined mode, in the Mode drop-down box, select Default, Optimistic, or Full.

    • To specify custom settings, select or enter the new settings or values.

  3. Click OK to save the settings.

You can also customize settings for the current project. These settings are saved to the current project file.

To customize settings for the current project

  1. On the Tools menu, click Project Settings.

  2. In the Project Settings dialog box, use one of the following procedures:

    • To select a predefined mode, in the Mode drop-down box, select Default, Optimistic, or Full.

    • To specify a custom mode, in the Mode box, select Custom, and then select the appropriate project settings.

  3. Click OK to save the settings.
