Question

I need to transfer some server event notifications objects from one SQL2K8 instance to another.

I wanted to use sys.server_event_notifications view but the event (e.g. DDL_TABLE_EVENTS, DDL_INDEX_EVENTS etc.) needed for the creation is not there.

I could not also find them in SSMS.

Any ideas?
Thanks a lot

Damien_The_Unbeliever thanks

You pointed me to the right direction, what I needed was

SELECT DISTINCT -- distinct because I don't need all the child events
    a.*
  , c.type_name
FROM
    sys.server_event_notifications a
INNER JOIN sys.server_events b
ON  a.object_id = b.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.event_notification_event_types c
ON  b.event_group_type = c.type

Joining only to sys.server_events gives me all the child events, then I have to join again to sys.event_notification_event_types to get the event group name that I used for initial creation.
