Project Settings(Loading System objects) (OracleToSQL)

The Loading System Objects page of the Project Settings dialog box lets you specify which Oracle system objects SSMA converts and loads into SQL Server.

The Loading System Objects pane is available in the Project Settings and Default Project Settings dialog boxes:

• To specify settings for all SSMA projects, on the Tools menu, select Default Project Settings, 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 click Loading System Objects.

• To specify settings for the current project, on the Tools menu, select Project Settings, click General at the bottom of the left pane, and then click Loading System Objects.

Default Settings

Converting system objects consumes system resources and takes time. To improve performance, SSMA selects only the most frequently used system objects, as shown in the following list:

• SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT

• SYS.DBMS_PIPE

• SYS.DBMS_UTILITY

• SYS.STANDARD

• SYS.UTL_FILE

• SYS.DBMS_LOB

• SYS.DBMS_SQL

• SYS.DBMS_SESSION

If your Oracle objects refer to additional system objects, you should select those objects. If you don't select the system objects that are referenced by your Oracle database objects, SSMA will report conversion errors. If you receive conversion errors caused by missing system objects, select the missing objects in this dialog box. You can then repeat the conversion as necessary.
