Configuring DB2 Connect PE to Support Siebel Developer Web Client

Using DB2 Connect PE to support the Siebel Developer Web Client involves:

• A Siebel Developer Web Client workstation on which you install DB2 Connect Personal Edition (PE), to act as a gateway to the database.
• DB2 for z/OS.

With this approach, a user on a Siebel Developer Web Client connects directly to DB2. See the upper part of Figure 1.

To connect to DB2 using DB2 Connect PE

1. Install DB2 Connect PE on the Siebel Developer Web Client workstation machine.
2. On the machine, upgrade DB2 Connect PE to the appropriate Fix Pack. See Installing Required IBM Fix Packs for further information.

   If you previously installed a DB2 Connect run-time client, the DB2 Connect installer upgrade adds only the functionality required for the existing client. (This is also the case if you have a DB2 server or SDK installed on your workstation.)

3. On the workstation machine, catalog your z/OS databases as appropriate, using the DB2 Client Configuration Assistant or the DB2 Command Line Processor.

   After installation, use a standard DB2 client to access DB2 Connect.
