Adding Db2 instance objects

In Db2® DevOps Experience, the administrator of the application-owning team, or the instance owner who is also a member of the application-owning team, can edit an instance and add objects.

Procedure

To add Db2 application instance objects, complete the following steps:

  1. On the navigation menu, click Explore > Instances.
    The Instances page opens. Click Details to view the instance details for a specific instance.
  2. To add objects to this instance, click Show DDL.
    The Object definitions page opens.

    The Db2 objects pane lists the objects that have been provisioned from the original application. This pane also lists the objects that have been provisioned from the associated applications of the original application and objects that are newly added to an instance (if any).

  3. Click Add. Scroll to the end of the page, if needed.
    The Add an object dialog opens.
  4. Select how you want to add the new instance object:
    DDL
    Specify the DDL of the new object that you want to add. The requested fields will differ based on the object type and template.
    Note: If the super administrator has selected the Do not use templates checkbox for any object type in the DDL templates page, then the legacy workflow will be used.
    An existing target object with an existing instance qualifier
    Specify an existing object that resides in the target subsystem.
    An existing object from source
    Specify an object that resides in the source subsystem.
  5. Click Next after entering the global and local variables on multiple pages, which vary depending on the Object Type.
    • The system validates both variables for the selected template before landing on the Edit DDL page.
      Note: If Do not use templates checkbox is selected for any object type under the DDL templates, or if the template is not available, then the legacy workflow will be used.
    • If you have selected an option other than DDL in step 5, the list of objects that are required for the new object is displayed.
  6. Review this list of required objects and click Add new object.
    The new object will be added to the instance.
