Implementing Siebel Business Applications on DB2 for z/OS > Installing the Siebel Database on the DB2 Host >

Preparing a Storage Control File

This task is a step in Process of Performing a Custom Installation.

When you select the standard Siebel Schema installation method, the Database Configuration Wizard creates a storage control file based on the information that you provide in response to prompts.

When you select the custom installation method, you must first create the storage control file that is used as the basis of your Siebel Schema custom installation. You can choose from the following options:

• Use an existing storage control file in the custom installation.

  You can specify the name of an existing storage control file in a custom installation.

• Modify one of the Siebel-provided storage control file templates and use it in the custom installation.

  You can edit the storage control file template directly, or you can use the Siebel Database Storage Configurator (dbconf.xls) to modify the template. For more information, see Modifying a Storage Control File Using the Database Storage Configurator.

• Extract a storage control file based on the layout of the existing Siebel Schema using the Extract Storage File option of the Database Configuration Wizard. For more information, see Extracting a Storage Control File from the DB2 Catalog.
