About the Database Installation Option

This topic constitutes a step in Roadmap for Installing the Siebel Database.

When you choose the Install Siebel Database option from the Database Configuration Wizard, the utility performs several tasks within the database instance you created for your Siebel application:

• It creates Siebel tables and indexes in a specified database storage layout
• It installs Siebel triggers (optional) and views, packages, and procedures
• It installs Siebel seed data specific to your database

You can choose to run these operations directly against the database, or you can apply the install DDL manually on the z/OS host. You can also choose to perform a standard or custom Siebel database installation. This topic describes these installation options.

About Database Installation Modes

You can create the Siebel Schema using one of two modes: standard or customized.

• Standard Install

  If you choose the standard installation option, you perform all installation tasks using the Database Configuration Wizard. A standard install creates a Siebel preconfigured database layout.

• Customized Install

  If you choose the custom installation option, you provide a storage control file that specifies the custom database layout that is most suitable for your Siebel deployment. You must create and validate the custom storage control file before performing the Siebel Schema installation using the Database Configuration Wizard.

About Database Installation Mechanisms

You can choose whether the DDL used to create the Siebel Schema is automatically applied against the DB2 host or is applied manually. You can execute the DDL directly against the database by choosing the Run DDL Automatically option of the Database Configuration Wizard. Alternatively, by choosing the Generate DDL Into Files option, you can assign the DDL to an output file for later transfer to the DB2 host (using Oracle-provided scripts, your own FTP, or another file transport program) where the DBA applies the DDL using customary tools.

NOTE:  The Upgrade Wizard is the Siebel utility that performs Siebel database installation, upgrade, and database manipulations. The utility is launched by the Database Configuration Wizard. In Windows, the Siebel Upgrade Wizard is designated as siebupg.exe. In UNIX, it is designated as srvrupgwiz and is located in the SIEBSRVR_ROOT/bin directory.

Installing a New Database Language

If you want to add a language to an existing Siebel database, you can do so by selecting the Install Siebel Database option on the Database Configuration Wizard, and then selecting the Add a language to an existing database option. Adding a language to an existing Siebel database installs seed data to support that language. For a description of this process, see Installing Multilingual Seed Data.
