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, except for 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.)

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 don't 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're 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 isn't 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.
