Use the checks settings file
Last updated: October 22, 2026
You can run the policy checks that are enabled in your settings file by using the checks run command.
Tips for using your settings file
To use the in-memory file while running
runorshow, enter N at runtime. Other commands require a checks settings file to save the changes for checks.To use a checks settings file customized for a specific environment or project, specify the name with the
--checks-settings-fileparameter. If you do not specify this parameter, Liquibase uses the in-memory file or default settings file:liquibase.checks-settings.conf.To group multiple checks settings files together and run them in a single
runorshowcommand, create a checks package.
Procedure
