    There is a “Transfer Database Task”. You can use it to make a copy of newdatabase to newdatabase2:

    EDIT:

    or you can use the “Copy Database Wizard” once. It will generate an SSIS package and a SQL Server job, then you can re-use it as many times as you want.

    EDIT2:
    it would’t make much sense to open on BIDS because you will only see something like this:

    I don’t think these packages are meant to be editable.
    You can access it, though:
