Installing the Database Configuration Utilities and the Regional Siebel Database on the Regional Node

You can install the Database Configuration Utilities and the regional Siebel database on the regional node. The Database Configuration Utilities is a set of utilities that you install when you install a Siebel Server, using the Siebel Enterprise Server installer. When you install the Siebel database on the RDBMS, you access these files when you run the Database Configuration Wizard and the Siebel Upgrade Wizard. For more information about these tasks, see the Siebel Installation Guide.

To install the Database Configuration Utilities on the regional node

1. Have an Oracle database administrator set storage parameters.

   The Regional Database Initialization program uses the default storage parameters for the data and index tablespaces. For larger tables, you can modify the storage parameters after you create the tables.

2. Install the RDBMS software on the regional Siebel Server.

   To create an empty database that contains adequate space for data and index storage, you must install the RDBMS software. Do this in accordance with the documentation of the RDBMS vendor and the guidelines for configuration and space allocation.

3. Create the Siebel database accounts for the Siebel Table Owner and Siebel Administrator, and then grant them the necessary privileges.

   To create these users and to grant their privileges, you can use the application RDBMS tool. For example:

   • For an Oracle Database, you can grant connect, resource, and database administrator privileges for each account.

   • For Microsoft SQL Server, you can grant the Table Owner Security Administrator privilege on regional nodes.

   • For IBM DB2, you can grant the Table Owner database administrator privilege.
