IBM DB2 UDB-Specific Database Guidelines for Siebel Data Warehouse


Table 10 provides guidelines for parameter settings for DB2 relational database management system (RDBMS) usage. Use these guidelines as a starting point. You will need to make changes based on your specific database sizes, data shape, server size (CPU and memory), and type of storage. The database administrator should make changes to the settings based on performance monitoring and tuning considerations.
