B Appendix B. SAP BI installation and checks under DB2 and z/OS This appendix describes our test scenario and the main installation activities and checks that we performed on DB2 and z/OS to set it up. We also provide a brief description of the relevant documentation that gives information for the installation and the tuning of a BI System in a DB2 for z/OS installation.
