This subsection describes how to specify the settings on the Database Environment page when Embedded RDB is used.

The settings available on the Database Environment page when Server core facility has been installed differ from when only Remote Installation Manager has been installed.

Figures 4-2 and 4-3 show the Database Environment page when Server core facility has been installed and when only Remote Installation Manager has been installed, respectively.

Port number

Specify the port number to be used for connecting the database, in the range from 5001 to 65535. The default is the port number specified in the Database Settings dialog box.

If you have changed the port number from the default setting, you must perform the following operations after completion of setup in order to apply the new settings:

1. Stop the Remote Install Server service.
2. Execute the netmdb_setup.bat command that is stored in JP1/Software-Distribution-installation-directory\BIN.
   Normally, when the netmdb_setup.bat command terminates, it waits for an entry from the keyboard. To enable the command to terminate without receiving an entry from the keyboard, execute the command with the /nopause option specified.
   
3. Start the Remote Install Server service.

Administrator ID

Specify the administrator ID to be used to log on to the database. The default is the administrator ID that was specified during installation.

This item is enabled when only Remote Installation Manager has been installed.

Password

Specify the password to be used to log on to the database. The default is the password specified during installation.

This item is enabled when only Remote Installation Manager has been installed.

This subsection describes how to specify the settings on the Database Environment page when Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle is used.

The settings on this page are not applicable to a PC on which only Remote Installation Manager has been installed. The system assumes for the connection-target PC the settings on the Database Environment page that were specified when the Remote Installation Manager was installed or started.

Host name of the database server

Specify the name of the host that will function as the database server.

If named instances are used, specify the host name in the following format:

database-server's-host-name\instance-name

Database name

Specify the name of the database. This must be the same name you specified in Database Manager. Specify this item only when Microsoft SQL Server is used for the relational database.

SID

Specify four alphanumeric characters as the database system identifier (SID) that indicates an Oracle database instance. The default is NETM. Specify this item only when Oracle is used for the relational database.

Administrator ID and Password

Enter the user ID and password of the user who has access permission to the JP1/Software Distribution database. The system uses the administrator ID that you enter here when it connects to a Packager and to clients. If you will be using Oracle as the relational database, UNLIMITED TABLESPACE permission must be granted as the system permission for this Administrator ID.
