Additional Postinstallation Steps for DB2 Connect

This section assumes that you have installed DB2 Connect using the installation defaults and have applied the necessary IBM Fix Pack. It also assumes the network connectivity (TCP/IP and FTP) has been set up from the DB2 Connect server to the main frame.

In order to use DB2 Connect effectively with Siebel applications, you will perform some additional steps (defining an alias and BINDing) and some additional configuration. DB2 Connect has a series of configuration parameters that define pooling and thread reuse, among other things. These configuration changes vary depending upon site-specific details, and whether the Enterprise or Personal version of DB2 Connect was installed. The details are provided to assist with this configuration.

Changes to these parameters change the database manager configuration file. For more information refer to your IBM documentation for the details on how to change the database manager configuration parameters.
