Preparing the Database Layout

When you select the standard installation method, the Database Server Configuration Utility creates a storage control file (called storage.ctl) based on the information that you provide in response to prompts.

When you select the custom installation method, you must create a storage control file before you perform Schema installation. There are several methods you can use to create a storage control file:

Use an existing storage control file.
Modify one of the Siebel-provided storage control file templates. To modify a template, you can edit the file directly, or you can use a Siebel tool called the Database Storage Configurator (dbconf.xls). For more information, see About Creating or Modifying the Database Layout
Extract a new storage control file for custom installation. To create a storage control file based on the layout of the existing Siebel Schema, use the DB Server Configuration Utility—Extract Utility. This utility allows you to create the storage control file by "reverse-engineering" the DB2 catalog. For more information, see Extracting a Storage Control File from the DB2 Catalog.
