To use a managing server function, from the Start menu, select the JP1/Software Distribution program folder, and then select the menu for the desired function. These menus are created when a JP1/Software Distribution Manager server or a relay system component of JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system) is installed with the Remote Installation Manager subcomponent selected.

The following explains the menus for the various managing server functions.

• Remote Installation Manager
  This menu starts Remote Installation Manager, which is used to execute the managing server's principal facilities, such as software distribution, inventory information management, and file collection.
  For details about how to operate Remote Installation Manager, see 1.3 Starting and terminating Remote Installation Manager and 1.4 Window configuration and basic operations.
  
• Database Manager (applicable to JP1/Software Distribution Manager only)
  This menu starts Database Manager, which is used to create and maintain a relational database. This menu is created when the Database Manager subcomponent of the Server is installed.
