Model Unadoption

Model unadoption lets you correct adoption errors or remove all common ancestry with any other model. For example, if you inadvertently reverse model names at the time of adoption, model unadoption can remove the adopted model from the family into which it was mistakenly adopted. It can also be used to disassociate a model from its current family.

Model unadoption does not change the appearance of the model.

Unadopt Model from Existing Family creates a model family and moves the unadopted model to this new family. The unadopted model no longer has common ancestry with models in its prior family. (The unadoption process replaces all Original Object IDs with unique IDs.)

Note: Unadoption of large models can cause DB2 to escalate its locks to the tablespace level, creating contention with other users. The iIncremental commits are not taken during the unadopt function.
