SYSADM Privileges Used for Connecting to DB2

A DB2 subsystem is a prerequisite for installing Siebel CRM. Although you do not need to use an ID with SYSADM privileges to install Siebel CRM, you might need such an ID to create underlying DB2 resources. For detailed information on setting up a DB2 subsystem for Siebel CRM, see Preparing for Implementation on the DB2 Host.

Functions that require SYSADM authority and that are necessary when you install Siebel CRM on DB2 for z/OS include:

  • Allocating and accessing buffer pools

  • Allocating and accessing storage groups

  • Granting CREATEDBA or DBADM authority to the Siebel user ID used for the Siebel database installation

  • Creating user-defined functions and stored procedures.
