Figure 2-17 Select Package Storage Method dialog box

If you use Microsoft SQL Server for logging JP1/Software Distribution management information, you can select either the relational database (Microsoft SQL Server) or the file system for storing packages. Although use of the file system is recommended, Microsoft SQL Server is also available as the package storage database. The default is File system.

If you select the file system, specify the directory for saving packages.

Directory used for saving packages

To change the default package storage directory, click the Browse button and select a desired directory.

You should note the following if you change the package storage directory when you upgrade your system or change installation settings:

• You must move any package data in the old package storage directory to the new package storage directory.
  If such packages are not moved, a job that already existed before the change, such as a remote installation job, will result in an error.
  
• If you have changed the package storage directory from relational database to file system, execute Transfer resource from database to file system from Database Manager after installation has been completed. For details about how to use Database Manager, see 7.5.3 Transferring resources from the database to the file system (Microsoft SQL Server).
