In Microsoft Internet Information Services, set the virtual directory of Asset Information Manager Subset.

If you are using Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.0 or later, you can create and change application pools.

Note

• If you install Asset Information Manager Subset on a Windows Server 2003 system, you must set an application pool in Microsoft Internet Information Services after the installation is finished. If you use an existing application pool, you must use the same settings as described in 10.6.1(1) Creating an application pool.
• Before you set the Asset Information Manager Subset virtual directory, stop the services in the following order.
  

  World Wide Web Publishing Service or World Wide Web Publishing Commands and tasks of the Asset Information Synchronous Service and Asset Information Manager Subset JP1/Client Security Control - Manager (applicable if JP1/CSC is linked)

  To use Asset Information Manager Subset after you have used the Database Manager, start the services in the reverse order from that listed above.
  
• If a connection pool has been set up in the ODBC database, the connected status will not change from the time that the Asset Information Manager Subset job was stopped until the timeout time set in the connection pool elapses. Therefore, wait for the connected status to change before setting the virtual directory.

You can use the Virtual Directory Settings dialog box to set application pools only if you are using Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.0 or later.

To change the Web site used by Asset Information Manager Subset and to create and change an application pool:

1. From the Start menu, choose Software Distribution Manager, Asset Information Manager, and then Setup.
   The Setup dialog box for Asset Information Manager Subset is displayed.
   
2. Choose Virtual Directory Settings.
   The Virtual Directory Settings dialog box appears. Set the virtual directory for Asset Information Manager Subset that is used to store information such as the data required during execution of Asset Information Manager Subset and log files.

   If the installed version of Microsoft Internet Information Services is 5.1 or earlier, the application pool items are not displayed.
   

   Web site

   Specifies the Web site at which the virtual directory of Asset Information Manager Subset is to be registered. From the pull-down menu, select Web site. Direct entry is not permitted. By default, the Web site displaying the virtual directory of Asset Information Manager Subset is specified. If no virtual directory has been registered, Default Web Site is specified. If no Web site has been registered, nothing is specified.

   Application pool

   Specifies the application pool to be associated with the virtual directory of Asset Information Manager Subset. From the combo box, select Application pool. By default, the application pool associated with the virtual directory of Asset Information Manager Subset is displayed.

   If the name of an application pool registered by the Internet Information Service Manager contains any of the characters =, :, or ,, the name is not displayed in the combo box.

   To create a new application pool, enter the name of the new application pool as 1 to 255 bytes of characters. Note that the characters /, \, =, :, and , cannot be used. Application pools are created with the same settings as in 10.6.1(1) Creating an application pool or 10.6.2(2) Creating an application pool.

3. Set the items and then click the OK button.
   This action causes the virtual directory to be changed and an application pool to be created and changed. Once the changes are complete, a message indicating that the virtual directory setting is completed is displayed.
   
4. Click the OK button.
   The Virtual Directory Settings dialog box closes.
   

To associate an existing application pool with the virtual directory of Asset Information Manager Subset, use the Internet Information Service Manager to set Application pool. For details about the settings for Application pool, see the following subsections:
