Select the database to be used as JP1/Software Distribution Manager's management database. This dialog box is displayed the first time any of Server, Asset Information Manager Subset, or OpenView Linkage is installed.

The following are the supported databases:

• Embedded RDB
• Microsoft SQL Server
• Oracle^#

#: Not displayed when the OS is Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008.

Figure 2-7 Select Database dialog box

The default is Embedded RDB, which is the database that is included in JP1/Software Distribution Manager.

If you select Embedded RDB as the database and install Asset Information Manager Subset, the tmp folder is created immediately under the Asset Information Manager Subset installation drive. Do not delete this tmp folder because it is needed in order to use Embedded RDB.

If Embedded RDB cannot be selected because JP1/Software Distribution Manager for JP1 Version 7i or earlier using the basic database is to be overwritten, use the procedure described in A.2 Changing the database type to install JP1/Software Distribution Manager.
