Implementing Siebel Business Applications on DB2 UDB for z/OS > Preparing for Implementation on the DB2 Host >

Estimating the Number of Database Objects You Need

Oracle ships over 3,000 tables, table spaces and databases and over 15,000 indexes for Siebel Business Applications. Over 4,000 tables and 21,000 indexes are shipped for Siebel Industry Applications.

The number of objects created in the Siebel Schema is determined by the Siebel product line you purchase. The number of objects determines how much space you must allocate. It is up to you to determine which of the objects shipped might actually be required for your deployment, based on your business needs.

CAUTION:  You must not remove unused tables from the database; doing so causes Oracle to discontinue technical support of your deployment. However, you can remove unused, nonunique, Siebel indexes from the database in a z/OS Siebel deployment. For help with removing nonunique indexes, create a service request (SR) on OracleMetaLink 3. Alternatively, you can phone Global Customer Support directly to create a service request or get a status update on your current SR. Support phone numbers remain the same and are listed on OracleMetaLink 3.
