Implementing Siebel Business Applications on DB2 for z/OS > Installing the Siebel Database on the DB2 Host >
Required Tasks before the Siebel Database Installation
Before installing and configuring the Siebel database on the z/OS host, make sure that you have the following resources available to you and have completed the following tasks. These tasks constitute a step in Roadmap for Installing the Siebel Database.
- You have reviewed Siebel Installation Guide for the operating system you are using and have installed the following:
- Siebel Gateway
- Siebel Server
- Database Configuration Utilities software on a Siebel Server computer, in the same top-level installation directory as the Siebel Server
- You have configured the Siebel Gateway and the Siebel Enterprise.
- You have designated a Siebel Server to act as a client to DB2. This server is where you installed the Database Configuration Utilities.
NOTE: Verify that all the Siebel-supported languages you need are installed on the DB2-client Siebel Server. Otherwise, the installation program will not recognize the additional languages when you add them to the Siebel Schema.
- You have installed DB2 Connect and tested ODBC connectivity between the computer on which the Siebel Server is installed and DB2, as described in Preparing for Implementation on the DB2 Host.
- A security administrator (or someone with a logon that can create user IDs and security groups) is available to support your installation.
- A database user (for example, SADMIN) with DBA or CREATEDBA authority exists. This user must also have TSO logon capability for the manual installation process.
- Your system administrator (SYSADM) and database administrator (DBA) have set up the DB2 subsystem on the z/OS host.
For information on this task, see Preparing for Implementation on the DB2 Host.
- The SYSADM has created storage groups and activated and granted use of buffer pools in preparation for installation.
- The Database Owner is a valid authorization ID.
- (Optional) You have installed Microsoft Excel on the client computer to allow use of the Database Storage Configurator tool (dbconf.xls).
