Implementing Siebel Business Applications on DB2 for z/OS > Customizing a Development Environment >

About Customizing Your Development Environment

Customization of Siebel Business Applications within your development environment can involve:

• Converting nonpartitioned tables to partitioned tables
• Changing views, business objects, applets, and tables
• Adding new columns to existing tables and adding new tables
• Modifying workflow policies and workflow processes

These tasks are documented in Using Siebel Tools and Siebel Business Process Framework: Workflow Guide. However, several customization procedures and issues are specific to DB2 for z/OS; these are described in this chapter.

It is assumed that you perform your development on either of the following:

• DB2 on a Windows or UNIX computer
• DB2 for z/OS on a partition of your z/OS computer reserved for development

In many cases, changes to user-acceptance and production (server) databases are made by a database administrator working within a change-management system. Therefore, this guide includes procedures for generating Data Definition Language (DDL) files that are later applied to databases.
