Siebel 7 Using DB2 UDB V7.x Planning & Installation Guide for AIX/Win2K

This IBM Redbooks publication deals with planning and installation of Siebel 7 applications using DB2 V7.x, as well as a migration from Siebel 6.x.

We provide an overview of Siebel Systems and their two-tier and three-tier architectures in the UNIX and Windows environments. Then we describe the connection to the Siebel-DB2 database server on AIX and Windows 2000, as well as the necessary customization.

We provide installation guidelines for setting up Siebel applications on AIX and Windows 2000 servers, and DB2 on AIX/Windows 2000.

We also document a migration of a Siebel application from Siebel 6.x to Siebel 7 in a Windows 2000 environment.

This book will be particularly helpful to those installing Siebel 7 on AIX and Windows 2000 for the first time.
