Execution of changes
The Execution component performs the commands in the worklists that ALTER and
BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2
generate.
Execution is the only component of ALTER and Change Manager that makes physical changes to Db2 data structures or data. Specification and Import are used to build a set of change requests, while Analysis generates a worklist from those requests. Execution performs the following tasks:
- Executes SQL
- Unloads Db2 tables
- Switches Db2 authorization IDs
- Runs Db2 utilities
- Establishes synchronization (sync) points
- Performs restarts

Execution options
The Execution Interface panels provide you with a way to specify processing options and direct the flow of the Execution job.
In addition to specifying options to process a worklist, you can specify JCL generation options.
When you run Execution, you can:
- Select JCL build options.
- Indicate whether you want to generate JCL online (in the foreground) or in batch.
- Specify whether to create a multistep job, which includes creating a baseline and performing a comparison.
- Specify the Execution JCL, worklist, and diagnostics data set names.
You can also override defaults and edit the worklist before you submit the execution job.
