Implementing Siebel eBusiness Applications on DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 > Siebel Schema Installation on the DB2 Host > Preparing the Database Layout >

Using the Siebel Database Storage Configurator

The installation of your Siebel eBusiness Applications includes a Microsoft Excel tool called the Siebel Database Storage Configurator (dbconf.xls). This tool facilitates the configuration of your Siebel Schema by allowing you to import and edit the attributes from one of the Siebel-provided storage control file templates. You can also use this tool to configure an existing storage control file.

The file associated with the Siebel Database Storage Configurator is called dbconf.xls. This file is installed in the DB2390 subdirectory of your DBSRVR_ROOT directory. In order to open dbconf.xls, you must have Microsoft Excel installed on your workstation.

After you have edited a storage control file template using the Database Storage Configurator, save the file with a new name, then direct the DB Server Configuration wizard to your newly created (saved) and configured storage control file during installation (as described in Performing a Custom Installation). When the DB Server Configuration wizard prompts you to specify a storage control file, select your new storage control file. The output DDL is generated from the information in the storage control file that you select.
