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:
- In the Data Project Explorer, select the change command script
that you want to apply.
- 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.
- 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.
