This document covers the following topics:
Incorporation of DB2 objects is subject to DB2 security mechanisms. See the section DB2 and SQL/DS in the Predict and Other Systems documentation.

| Update DB attributes (connect option) | Provided on a later page of the schema incorporation wizard (after the physical object has been selected from the drop-down list box). Y - Attributes of the Predict database object are to be updated. |
Databases which meet the selection criteria and are not already connected to a Predict database object are then provided in the drop-down list box on the next page of the schema incorporation wizard.
| Information in the drop-down list box | ||
|---|---|---|
| Creator | Creator of the database. | |
| Database name | Name of the database | |
| Predict database ID | ID of Predict database object for a DB2 database with this DB2 name. | |

Compares the database and the Predict database object and reports differences between attributes and file lists.
