Siebel Database Upgrade Guide for DB2 for z/OS > Creating the Siebel Staging Database >

Preparing the z/OS Upgrade Environment and Creating the Staging Database

You must transfer the staging database and other upgrade files generated on the midtier by the Upgrade Wizard into data sets on the z/OS host. These files must then be processed and prepared for use. These files include the REXX code that contains all the panels and programs for running the upgrade processes, and files for creating the staging database.

To prepare your z/OS upgrade environment and create the staging database, complete the following procedures:

• Authorization Requirements for Performing Upgrade Procedures on the z/OS Host
• Customizing the JCL UNIT Parameter Value
• Creating the z/OS Setup Data Sets
• Preparing the Upgrade Environment and Building the Staging Database
• Removing Interface Tables and Triggers
