DB2 Change Management Expert opens
in the Eclipse Workbench window, which consists of perspectives, views, and
editors. A perspective is a particular set of views and editors.
You
typically use a view to navigate information within the Workbench,
open an editor, or display properties for the active editor. The changes that
you make in a view are saved immediately.
You use an editor to
browse or modify a resource. Modifications made in an editor follow an open-save-close
lifecycle model.
The following figure shows that the
DB2 Change Management Expert interface
uses the Data perspective. The figure also provides an example of some of
the views and editors in this perspective. The Database Explorer view, which
displays the connections to databases, is in the lower left corner. The Project
Explorer view, which shows the resources in the various projects, is in the
upper left corner. More views, such as Properties, Tasks, and Problems, are
located along the bottom. The Deployment Script Editor is located in the editor
area in the middle, and it is the active editor. The Data Model Editor is
tiled behind the Deployment Script Editor.
