Selecting synchronization output

Note

When you select the Source and Target, the sync operation only applies changes to the target database, while the source database keeps unchanged.

After you have selected the objects for synchronization, you can use the Schema Synchronization Wizard to create the synchronization script. To open the synchronization wizard, click Synchronization arrow Synchronize objects to the target database.
