IndyPASS Monthly Meeting
Tuesday, May 20, 2008
5:30 - 6:00: Snacks and networking
6:00 - 7:30: Introduction to SQL Server Management Objects (SMO) and SQL Server Replication Management Objects (RMO)
Presenter: AJ Jones, Perpetual Technologies, Inc. (PTI)
Beginning with SQL Server 2005, Microsoft introduced Server Management Objects(SMO) as its replacement for DMO and the preferred method for managing SQL Server, Analysis Services, and Reporting Services. Utilizing this platform allows the Developer and DBA alike to build customized solutions to automate cross server tasks, saving time and increasing productivity and efficiency.
Additionally, Microsoft has added another .NET assembly called Replication Management Objects(RMO). RMO allows you to programmatically configure and maintain replication in SQL Server 2005. This session will present an overview of the Server Management Objects and Replication Management Objects architecture and show some examples of how they can be used.
