1. World Wide Web Publishing Service or World Wide Web Publishing

Notes

• Uninstallation does not necessarily delete the installation folders and files or the Microsoft Internet Information Services virtual directory, and these may remain on the computer. When reinstalling, delete any remaining folders.
• If the asset management database is Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle, uninstalling Asset Information Manager does not delete the tables inside the asset management database. To delete these tables, use the DBMS function.
  If the asset management database is Embedded RDB, uninstalling Asset Information Manager also deletes the tables inside the asset management database. If you need to use these tables after uninstallation, back up these tables before uninstallation.
  For details about how to acquire a database backup, see 12.1.3(1) Backing up the asset management database from the Database Manager dialog box.
