Asset Information Manager Subset uses a dedicated relational database that is separate from the managing server's database.

If you use Embedded RDB as the relational database and install JP1/Software Distribution's server core facility and Asset Information Manager Subset on the same computer, two databases are created, requiring a large amount of machine resources. Therefore, we recommend that you install Asset Information Manager Subset on a separate computer from JP1/Software Distribution's server core facility.

For details about how to install Asset Information Manager Subset, see 2.3 Installing Asset Information Manager Subset in the Setup Guide.

The following figures show, for each type of relational database, the configuration of the JP1/Software Distribution system in an environment in which Asset Information Manager Subset is used.

Figure 5-7 Configuration of JP1/Software Distribution system when Asset Information Manager Subset is used (Embedded RDB is used)

Figure 5-8 Configuration of JP1/Software Distribution system when Asset Information Manager Subset is used (Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle is used)

Note that Asset Information Manager Subset cannot be installed on the computer where JP1/Asset Information Manager is installed.
