How to Use This Guide If Your Database Is IBM DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390

This guide describes installation of core Siebel products, including the Siebel Database Server for each supported RDBMS, with the exception of DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390. Customers for DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 will require not only this guide (Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using), but also Implementing Siebel eBusiness Applications on DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390, available on the Siebel Bookshelf.

From an installation standpoint, Implementing Siebel eBusiness Applications on DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 starts where Installing the Siebel Server ends. Implementing Siebel eBusiness Applications on DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 includes, but is not limited to, topics such as special security issues for this RDBMS, installing the Siebel Schema, performance guidelines for use of this RDBMS with Siebel eBusiness Applications, and specific procedures for moving data from development to production.

Although Implementing Siebel eBusiness Applications on DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390 contains some information (for example, security) that is not covered elsewhere on the Siebel Bookshelf, readers should still consult appropriate Siebel Deployment Documentation Suite books, such as the Security Guide for Siebel eBusiness Applications, because this suite of books contains important information that helps you to deploy the Siebel applications.
