Configuring DB2 Connect EE, ASE or UE to Support Siebel Web Client

Using DB2 Connect EE, ASE or UE to support the Siebel Web Client involves:

• A Siebel Server, running Application Object Managers to support the Siebel Web Client. In some cases, DB2 Connect EE is also installed on this machine.
• Optionally, an additional computer on which you install DB2 Connect EE, to act as a gateway to the database.
• DB2 for z/OS.
• Individual workstations running Siebel Web Client.

This approach is illustrated in the middle and lower parts of Figure 1.

Perform the following steps to configure DB2 Connect EE for a server machine.

To connect to DB2 using DB2 Connect EE

1. Using vendor instructions, install DB2 Connect EE on a server machine.

   The DB2 Connect EE Server machine functions as a DB2 server, with protocol support for DB2 for z/OS.

   You can also add DB2 Connect to an existing server on which DB2 is already installed.

2. On the DB2 Connect machine, upgrade DB2 Connect to the appropriate Fix Pack. See Installing Required IBM Fix Packs for further information.
3. On the DB2 Connect EE Server machine, catalog your DB2 for z/OS database, as appropriate, using the DB2 Client Configuration Assistant or the DB2 Command Line Processor.

   After installation, use a standard DB2 client to access the DB2 Connect EE Server.
