Running the grantusr.sql Script on IBM DB2

Before you install the Siebel database, your DBA must manually create the Siebel table owner account, the Siebel administrator account (default: SADMIN), and the SSE_ROLE group. The DBA must then add the Siebel administrator account to the SSE_ROLE group at the operating system level. This task is part of Creating Table Owner and Administrator Accounts.

Before you install the Siebel database, execute the grantusr.sql script against your database server to grant the appropriate privileges to these users. The grantusr.sql script is located in the DBSRVR_ROOT\DB2UDB subdirectory.

Your DBA must review and execute this script, which performs the following functions:

Grants DBA administration (DBADM) privileges to the table owner account.
Grants CONNECT privileges to the SSE_ROLE group.

You cannot create the LDAPUSER account by running grantusr.sql. This account must belong to the SSE_ROLE group and must be created by the DBA or the Windows network administrator, as appropriate. For more information about authentication using the LDAP security adapter, see Siebel Security Guide.

This topic is part of Creating Table Owner and Administrator Accounts.

To run the grantusr.sql script on IBM DB2

Execute the grantusr.sql script from a DB2 Command Window, using an account with DBA privileges.
The usual DB2 System Administration account is called db2admin for this procedure.
Caution: Use the DB2 Command Window, not the DB2 command line processor (CLP), to enter these commands, because the DB2 command line processor window uses different syntax. The commands in this procedure work only if you issue them in a DB2 Command Window.
Enter the following commands:
```
db2 connect to DB2database_alias user instance_owner_username using password
db2 -vf SIEBEL_ROOT\DBSRVR\DB2UDB\grantusr.sql
```
where:
- DB2database_alias is the DB2 alias that you use
- instance_owner_username is the login ID of the database instance owner
- password is the password for the database instance owner
- SIEBEL_ROOT is the full path to the Siebel root directory
The script prompts you for the default tablespace in which your Siebel objects are to be created.
Enter the tablespace name that you recorded in the copy that you made of Siebel Deployment Planning Worksheet and exit the script.

The length and allowable characters of the account names and passwords depend on the rules of your underlying RDBMS platform. For more information, see IBM DB2 documentation.
