Creating a version online

You can use the Db2® Admin Tool online interface to create a version when running a change.

1. Display the change to be run by selecting option 1 on the Change Management panel, and then select option 1 on the Manage Changes panel.
2. Issue the RN line command for the change that you want to run. When you issue the RN line command to run the change, specify the appropriate information on the Run a Change panel:
   • AUTO or USER in the Generate base version before run field to generate a new base version immediately before the change is implemented.
   • AUTO or USER in the Generate base version after run field to generate a new base version immediately after the change is implemented.
   The CM - Specify Base Version Options panel (ADB2CEX3) is displayed after the Run a Change panel. In the following example, AUTO was chosen for the Generate base version before run option, and no base version was requested for the Generate base version after run option.
