When you need to upgrade a JP1/Software Distribution Client relay system or client, you can use JP1/Software Distribution to remote-install the upgraded version. The method of remote installation is the same as for other Hitachi program products.
For the JP1/Software Distribution Client that has been installed remotely, the client settings existing prior to the installation are inherited.
The following points should be noted about using the remote installation facility to distribute JP1/Software Distribution Client:

- When installing JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system)
- Relay system
- Remote Control Manager
- Remote Control Agent

- The following describes how to perform remote installation of AMT Linkage on a relay system with version 08-00 or earlier.
On the relay system, Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, or 3.5 must have already been installed.
- On the higher system, upgrade the JP1/Software Distribution Manager version to 08-10 or later.
During upgrading, install AMT Linkage.
- Package JP1/SoftwareDistribution-Manager-installation-directory\DMAMT.
During packaging, set the installation-target directory as follows:
Drive: None
Directory: %NETMDMP%
- Distribute the package to the relay system.
- Perform remote installation of the relay system with version 08-10 or later.
AMT Linkage is installed.
- JP1/Software Distribution Client (client) cannot be remote-installed on a PC on which Startup Kit Support Tool or Client Installation by Web (a component of JP1 Version 7i or earlier) has been installed. You can remotely install JP1/Software Distribution Client (client) on a PC where the Automatic Installation Tool has been installed; however, the Automatic Installation Tool will not be overwritten. Make sure that you manually install Startup Kit Support Tool and Automatic Installation Tool.
- JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system) cannot be remote-installed on a PC on which Startup Kit Support Tool or Client Installation by Web (a component of JP1 Version 7i or earlier) has been installed.
You can remotely install JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system) on a PC that has the Automatic Installation Tool installed on it. However, the Automatic Installation Tool will not be overwritten. You must install the Automatic Installation Tool manually.
(2) Notes about remote installation
- If a Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Client dialog box is displayed when a Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Client (relay system) installation is performed, the installation will fail. Close any Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Client dialog box before starting an installation. Extra care must be taken due to the fact that the following dialog boxes are sometimes automatically displayed:
- Message notification dialog boxes
- Dialog boxes displayed when a job error occurs
- Deletion confirmation dialog boxes for shortcuts that fail to start from Software Distribution Client Startup
- Update User Information dialog box: At system boot
- Update User Information dialog box: At periodic execution
- Hold or Cancel Software Distribution Job dialog box
- Shutdown or Restart confirmation dialog box
- The disk at the remote installation target requires about three times as much space as for the JP1/Software Distribution Client that is to be installed remotely.
- Do not remote-install JP1/Software Distribution together with other packages.
- To distribute JP1/Software Distribution Client by remote installation, you must use the Packager whose version matches the version of the JP1/Software Distribution Client.
- When you create the packaging or remote installation job, you cannot specify in Start external program on the External Program page an external program that starts immediately after installation or when an installation error occurs.
- When you create the packaging or remote installation job, if Reinstallation is specified in Hitachi program product installation on the Installation Method page, the same components will be installed again.
If New installation is selected, the following components will be installed in addition to a component that has already been installed:
- When JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system or client) was installed
- Restarting the computer or manipulating the JP1/Software Distribution Client menu during installation processing results in an installation error.
Clicking the Cancel button in the dialog box that shows the installation status cancels the installation processing.
- If dialog boxes are set not to be displayed during installation, no message is displayed even when the computer needs to be restarted after completion of JP1/Software Distribution Client installation.
- Do not execute any other jobs on the relay system or client where remote installation of JP1/Software Distribution Client is underway. Before you execute another job, make sure that remote installation has been completed.
- To complete remote installation of JP1/Software Distribution Client, manually restart the computer after remote installation has finished and before you install any other products.
- When remote installation of JP1/Software Distribution Client version 08-10 or later is performed on a client whose version is 08-00 or earlier, the dialog box display settings during the installation depend on the settings used by the target client.
When remote installation of JP1/Software Distribution Client version 08-00 or earlier is performed, the dialog box display settings are ignored during the installation. All dialog boxes are displayed during the installation.
- The installation set created by JP1/Software Distribution Administrator Kit cannot be used from the remote installation facility. The remote installation facility can be used to distribute the installation set to a client machine. The distributed installation set must be manually executed from the client machine.
- You can check the execution results of remote installation as follows:
- Installation of JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system):
- Use the Job Status window of the managing server to check the results. In the Detailed Information dialog box (displayed from the Job Status window), Maintenance code is the return code for the execution results.
- Installation of JP1/Software Distribution Client (client):
- A message is displayed at the client indicating that JP1/Software Distribution Client (client) is being installed. When installation is complete, a return code indicating completion is displayed in the message box.
- If dialog boxes are set not to be displayed during installation, a message box reporting the termination is not displayed. To determine whether or not the installation has been successful, check the job execution result on the higher system.
For details about the return codes, see 6.2.3 List of maintenance codes in the manual Administrator's Guide Volume 2.
