Specifying a version scope for the source or target definition
If Change Management (CM) is enabled, you can select a version scope for your source
or target. A version scope is a predefined set of objects. Version scope
definitions are stored in CM tables and can include databases, table spaces, tables, indexes,
views, stored procedures, triggers, and other objects.
If you specify a version
scope as your source or target, the definitions of the specified objects are retrieved from the
Db2 catalog for the
comparison.
Before you begin
This procedure assumes that you have completed the steps in 1. Specifying source objects or 2. Specifying target objects and specified option VS on the Specify Compare Source (GOC1)
panel or the Specify Compare Target (GOC1)
panel. The Specify Source Version Scope (GOC1VS)
panel or the Specify Target Version Scope
(GOC1VS) panel should be displayed.
Procedure
To specify a version scope for the source or target definition:
On the Specify Source Version Scope (GOC1VS)
panel or the Specify Target Version Scope
(GOC1VS) panel, specify values in the version table
Owner and Name fields to identify the
version scope that you want to use to extract definitions from the Db2 catalog:

Owner . . . . . > (? to look up)
Name . . . . . > (? to look up)
Specify compare version file output:
Data set name .
Enter a description (optional):
Description . .
In the Data set name field, specify the output data set name for
the version file.
The specified data set must be one of the following types:
A variable-block sequential data set
A member of a partitioned data set with a record length of 16K
(RECFM=Vx,LRECL=6144)
If the specified data set does not exist, it is created. If an existing data set
is specified, it is overwritten.
Optional:
In the Description field, specify a description of the source or
target Db2 objects.
The description is placed in the header record of the version file.
Press Enter.
The DB2 Object Comparison Tool Menu
(GOCMENU) panel is displayed, and
Version scope specified (DB2 catalog) is listed as the
Specification Status for the source or target, depending on which
one you specified.
