ServerSelection.sqlpolicy Property Page
Important
To create and manage databases using the latest version of Data Tier Applications (DACPAC), install the most recent release of SQL Server Data Tools from Get Started with Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools.
Use the ServerSelection.sqlpolicy property page to configure a Server Selection policy. The Server Selection policy is used to define the requirements that an instance of SQL Server must meet to host the data-tier application (DAC).
To configure the policy, you must select the facet properties that you want to use. The Server Selection facet properties are the set of logical properties of the Server object that apply specifically to DAC selection. For example, they include properties such as BuildNumber, Collation, Edition, and Platform.
After you select a facet property, you must then configure the comparison operator, such as "is equal to" or "is like," and the assigned value for the property. The collection of selected facet properties and their associated values form the condition, or the set of requirements, for the policy.
To access this property page, expand the Properties folder for the DAC project in Solution Explorer, right-click ServerSelection.sqlpolicy, and then click Open.
