Siebel Database Upgrade Guide for DB2 for z/OS > Basic Database Preparations for a Siebel Upgrade > Preparing the Storage Layout of the SchemaEnvironments: All environments. Before starting the 8.1 upgrade, you have to prepare the storage control file you will use during the upgrade. The DBA can prepare the storage control file at any time before the upgrade. The storage control file contains storage information, including bufferpools and storage groups, that is used as the basis for the storage layout of your new 8.1 Siebel database. Even if you are using a preconfigured storage layout, you must make sure that the layout is valid for your schema. Preparing the storage control file process consists of the following tasks:
NOTE: You must validate the storage control file after you extract it and after you modify it. There are different starting points from which you can customize your storage layout:
To prepare the storage control file, use the Database Configuration Wizard to extract the storage layout of your database from the DB2 catalog. As part of the extraction process, you can merge the storage layout information from your existing database with information you already input into a storage template file or information in a template provided with Siebel Business Applications. As an alternative, instead of extracting the storage layout of your existing database, you can use a template provided with Siebel Business Applications as the storage control file. For more information about templates for the storage control file, see Implementing Siebel Business Applications on DB2 for z/OS. Siebel Business Applications provide the templates listed in Table 8 for the storage control file. |
