Configuration Options for DB2 Connect

When using DB2 Connect, your configuration options depend on whether you are deploying Siebel CRM on a Web Client or on a Developer Web Client, as shown in the following table.

DB2 Connect Edition	Siebel CRM Deployed on	Install and Run DB2 Connect on
Enterprise Edition (EE, ASE or UE)	Siebel Web Client	Siebel Server computer or another computer on midtier.
Enterprise Edition (EE, ASE or UE)	Siebel Developer Web Client	Any computer on midtier.
Personal Edition (PE)	Siebel Developer Web Client	Each workstation.

The following figure illustrates some of the configurations possible with DB2 Connect Personal Edition (PE) and DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition (EE). DB2 Connect PE runs on the workstation only; DB2 Connect EE can run on the same computer as the Siebel Server or on a different computer. The configuration you choose largely depends on the types of Siebel clients your enterprise supports.
