Applying change commands

You can use DB2® Change Management Expert to visualize your changes before you make them. DB2 Change Management Expert can apply DDL to physical data models that enable you to see their result before you deploy the changes against the actual DB2 database. This process is called applying change commands to a model. Applying a change command to a model is similar to issuing a command against DB2.
To view the outcome of your changes to a database model, you must apply your change commands. To apply your change commands to your target model, complete the following steps:
  1. In the Data Project Explorer, select the change command script that you want to apply.
  2. Right-click the script and click Apply to Model to display the Apply to Model wizard. Enter or select the project for your model and type the name of the model to which you want to apply your changes. Click Finish to apply your changes. The Data Model Editor will appear.
  3. Save the resulting model. You might want to save this model with a new name to reflect your changes.
The resulting database model includes all of the change commands that were applied.
