Configuring Database Connectivity Software for CORBA Object Manager

---

You must configure your database connectivity software to allow the Siebel CORBA Object Manager to connect to the Siebel Enterprise database:

MS SQL Server. No configuration is required once the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC driver specified in System Requirements and Supported Platforms has been installed on each server. Siebel automatically creates an ODBC data source using connectivity parameters that you will specify during installation of the Siebel CORBA Object Manager.
Oracle. Verify that the Oracle Net8 or Net9 database connectivity software, as appropriate to your database, is installed on each server, according to the Oracle documentation. See System Requirements and Supported Platforms for database connectivity software requirements.

Prior to installing the Siebel Server and Siebel Enterprise Server, you must use the Oracle Net8, (or Net9, as appropriate to your database), Easy Configuration utility to define a database alias with the proper connection information for your Siebel Database Server, if you have not done so already. Record the connect string in Deployment Planning Worksheets. You will specify this connect string when installing the Siebel Server.

DB2 UDB for Windows and UNIX. Define a database alias with the proper connection information for your database. This alias will be the connect string used when installing the Siebel Server.

Use either the DB2 Client Configuration Assistant or the Command Line Processor to define your database alias. For more information, see DB2 Universal Database for Windows or IBM DB2 Universal Database Command Reference.
