Configuring IBM DB2 UDB for Siebel Applications

This section contains guidelines for obtaining optimal performance from the DB2 Universal Database for use with Siebel eBusiness Applications.

These guidelines will be useful to a broad segment of customers. However, you should choose values for the parameters described in this guide that reflect conditions in your particular environment. See your IBM DB2 UDB technical documentation for additional information.

CAUTION:  Never make changes to your Siebel Database schema unless instructed on how to do so for a specific purpose by Siebel eBusiness Applications documentation. Otherwise, you may corrupt your entire system and thereby render it unsupportable.

When you use DB2 UDB, the DB2 UDB Application Development Client must be installed on your database server. Verify that the Application Development Client is installed before proceeding. For more information, see the Upgrade Guide.
