Implementing Siebel eBusiness Applications on DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 > Preparing for Implementation on the DB2 Host >

Connecting to the Database Using DB2 Connect

You install the Siebel Database Server on DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 using either direct execution methods or the Database Server configuration wizard on a client Siebel Server. (Installation methods are discussed in Siebel Schema Installation on the DB2 Host.) Subsequently, you will execute SQL on DB2.
