Need to create a job for dynamic execution on another server

    Hi all,

    I need to create a job to dynamically script out indexes and some other objects from Server A and apply them on Server B. They are linked through a Linked Server.

    But how to construct the job? I know how to build dynamic code, but how to save its output, and how to run it on another server?

    Thanks

    Sounds like a dangerous thing to do in production

    Is this part of migration, a one time task or will you want your monster script to run regularly?

    This is not from production. This is from one lower env. to another lower env. (like dev, test, qa, like that)

    You can create a job in server A to script out all indexes and save it as a file in a common location accessible for both servers.

    Another Job in Server B can fetch the file and run it in Server B.

    Normal jobs can do this task but prefer  SSIS, it will make your life simple for these kinda tasks.

    This is a good option when you do it from UAT or higher level in Non-Production to Dev and QA databases.
