Setting Up DB2 Connect

To set up DB2 Connect, follow the instructions below that apply to your chosen DB2 Connect configuration.

  • Define a database alias. Define a database alias with the proper connection information for your database. This alias is the connect string that you specify when you install Siebel Server. Record the connect string in the copy you made of Deployment Planning Worksheet.

    To define your database alias, use the DB2 Client Configuration Assistant or the DB2 Command Line Processor. For more information, refer to the vendor documentation on the IBM Web site.

  • Enable ODBC. Enable ODBC to point to DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390.

    To enable ODBC to point to DB2, use the DB2 Client Configuration Assistant's BIND option to bind the CLI/ODBC Support packages. Make sure that the authid has enough authority to bind these packages (BINDADD).

  • Install TCP/IP and FTP. For instructions on installing TCP/IP, refer to the vendor documentation on the IBM Web site.
