SCOPE IDENTITY not allowed on a REMOTE server? - sql-server

Question

I am trying to copy data from 2 tables linked by a foreign key on one server and then inserted them into the master database on another server.
The first table will generate a new IDENTITY column and then I want to store this in a variable and insert it into the 2nd table.
I have tried both using internal inserted tables and also SCOPE_IDENTITY() but receive errors that this is not allowed on a REMOTE server

Answer 1

##IDENTITY and SCOPE_IDENTITY() are local
are you using a linked server?
check this:
get ##Identity from another server(linked server)

Answer 2

To resolve the issue I finally created the script on the target server as a stored procedure, then I could use scope identity. The performance also improved massively, I then configured a new linked server with RPC out enabled and called the procedure remotely. It is not an elegant solution, but its only temporary
