How to Use This Guide If Your Database Is IBM DB2 for z/OS

This topic is part of Planning RDBMS Installation and Configuration.

This guide describes installation of Siebel CRM modules for each supported RDBMS, with the exception of IBM DB2 for z/OS. (This database product was formerly referred to in some Siebel Bookshelf documentation as IBM DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390.) The Siebel Bookshelf is available on Oracle Technology Network (OTN) and Oracle Software Delivery Cloud. It might also be installed locally on your intranet or on a network location.

Customers for IBM DB2 for z/OS require this guide (Siebel Installation Guide) and Implementing Siebel Business Applications on DB2 for z/OS. Both of these guides are available on the Siebel Bookshelf.

Note: In this guide, Configuring the RDBMS and Installing the Siebel Database on the RDBMS do not apply to customers using DB2 for z/OS. Instead, see Implementing Siebel Business Applications on DB2 for z/OS for database-related content. If you are upgrading on this platform, then see also Siebel Database Upgrade Guide for DB2 for z/OS. For information about relevant requirements related to authentication for the Siebel Gateway, see Requirements for Siebel Gateway Authentication.

Implementing Siebel Business Applications on DB2 for z/OS includes, but is not limited to, topics such as special security issues for this RDBMS, installing the Siebel schema, performance guidelines for use of this RDBMS with Siebel CRM, and specific procedures for moving data from development to production. Also consult all of the other applicable Siebel Bookshelf documentation, such as Siebel Security Guide.
