Transfer SQL Server Stored Procedures in SSIS

In this article we will show you, How to Transfer SQL Server Stored Procedures in SSIS. For this we will create a SSIS package to transfer SQL Server Stored Procedures from one Database to another Database using Transfer SQL Server Objects task. Please refer Transfer SQL Server Objects task in SSIS article to understand the functionality of each and every property

Transfer SQL Server Stored Procedures Using Transfer SQL Server Objects Task in SSIS

If you observe the below screenshot there is one Database called [Duplicate AdventureWorks2014]. We already Transferred the tables from [AdventureWorks2014] using Transfer SQL Server Objects task. Please refer Transfer SQL Server Tables with Data in SSIS article to understand, How to Transfer SQL server tables.

In this example, we are going to transfer all the stored procedures from [AdventureWorks2014] to [Duplicate AdventureWorks2014] using Transfer SQL Server Objects task. If you want to Transfer User Defined Functions then Please refer Transfer SQL Server User Defined Functions in SSIS article.

STEP 1: Open BIDS and Drag and drop the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task from the toolbox to control flow.

Double click on the Transfer SQL Server Objects will open the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task Editor to configure it.

General Tab

In this tab you can write your own Name and description as per the project requirements.

Here we haven’t changed any. Click on the Objects Tab

STEP 2: Select the SourceConnection property and click on it to create New connection. If you already created then select it.

Once you click on <New connection…> an SMO Connection Manager Editor window will be opened to configure the connection.

STEP 3: For this example, we are selecting our localhost instance and we are using Windows Authentication. If you are working for an organization then select the SQL Server Authentication and provide the credentials.

Click on the Test connection button to check whether the connection is throwing errors or not.

STEP 4: Click on the SourceDatabase option and select the database you want to use. For now we are selecting [Adventureworks2014] as shown below.

STEP 5: Select the DestinationConnection property and click on to create New connection. If you already created then select it.

We already mentioned localhost instance in SourceConnection and here also we are going to use the same instance. If you want to create new one then click on will open SMO Connection Manager Editor window to configure the connection.

STEP 6: Click on the DestinationDatabase option and select the database you want to use. For now we are selecting [Duplicate AdventureWorks2014] as shown below.

STEP 7: If your requirement is to copy all the objects (views, function, stored procedures, tables) from the source database then set CopyAllObjects option to True. In this example, We are going to send Stored Procedures only so we leave it to default False.

If we set CopyAllObjects option to False, next property ObjectsToCopy will get enabled.

STEP 8: Click on the ObjectsToCopy property to configure it. ObjectsToCopy property will explore many options of the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task. Let us concentrate on options that belong or related to this example. In this example, Our requirement is transferring the Stored Procedures so we have to understand options such as CopyAllStoredProcedures and StoredProceduresList.

If your requirement is to copy all the Stored Procedures from the source database then set CopyAllStoredProcedures option to True. Although we are sending all the Stored Procedures just to show you, We leave it to default False and later we will select them in the StoredProceduresList

STEP 9: Click on the StoredProceduresList option and click on the collections. Once you click on the (…) button besides Collections, it will open the Select Stored Procedures window to select the available Stored Procedures from the source connection.

For this example we are selecting all of them but you can try with different options.

STEP 10: Click ok to close the Select Stored Procedures window and then click ok to finish configuring the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task.

Let us run the package to see whether we successfully transferred the SQL Server Stored Procedures from source to destination.

Let’s open the SQL Server Management Studio and check for the Stored Procedures.

From the above screenshot you can observe that, We successfully transferred the SQL Server Stored Procedures.
